Customer Rating:      Summary: I'm Not Dead by Pink Comment: Vocal Powerhouse Pink has given us a set of good songs: including "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew" and "Dear Mr President" which features The Indio Girls. Pink has become vocal about the 2008 Presidential race - Interestingly, in the 2008 Presidential Primary race, New York Senator Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in American history (hillaryclintonforum, the denver group)
Customer Rating:      Summary: I'm Not Dead - by Pink Comment: I purchased the CD because I love the song "Who Knew." There are a few other good songs on the CD, but I especially like the last cut. It's an acoustic guitar version of a song that she performs with a dad. Full of harmony. Beautiful.
I also received it right on time.
The only concern I have - and this is not about the CD per se, is that whenever I order CDs on line by Amazon, I get numerous e-mails written in other languages, other alphabets, some of which contain potential viruses.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ok ... guilty pleasure. Comment: Pink is the type of artist I normally would buy but I got hooked off the radio. Unlike other pop albums, I was pleased to find out this wasn't a few good tunes and a bunch of filler. Each song is decent to good.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Can't Stop Listening Comment: I got this CD through the Pepsi Stuff promotion, mainly because I love the song "Who Knew". I'm middle aged and assumed I'd like just that one track. I never expected to discover so many great songs with such intelligent and often funny lyrics. I'm now realizing many of the songs I've heard and liked on the radio were Pink.
While I still can't get enough of "Who Knew" - and I agree with another reviewer that the song must be one of the best songs ever - I'm equally smitten with the energy, catchy tunes and attitude of "Leave Me Alone/I'm Lonely" and "U and UR Hand". I've had a hard time getting myself to stop playing them long enough to give the other tracks a fair listen, so I'm still discovering gems among them.
If bad language bothers you or if you have kids you don't want to hear it (and you don't want to have to wait till they're not around to listen to this CD), I'd recommend the clean version. I personally enjoy the additional attitude and emphasis that it brings to these songs and don't find it objectionable. My only regret is that I waited so long to get this CD and didn't buy it last winter when I first heard "Who Knew". I also wish I'd discovered Pink sooner - impressed she writes her song and love the voice - who knew?
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bought for You and Your Hand, but others are good too Comment: I bought this mostly for "You and Your Hand". However, while that's still a favorite, "Dear Mr. President" is excellent as well as the "Stupid Girls" which is being played on air. There is also a bonus track not listed that is done by Pink and her dad about his Vietnam War experience which is very good. The insert to the cd (the paper thing with the lyrics) is also quite interesting. It has many pictures and her "insights" to the cd, life, etc. I would definitely recommend it, am glad I bought it and I will NOT be putting it on eBay as I do many cds I buy and don't care for!
