I remember when I first heard "There You Go" on the radio, I was like, WOW what a killer song! I heard it for almost a month before I saw the video on tv. It took the entire length of the video to come out of the shock that this girl was white. Not that anyone's race has anything to do with anything, I was just floored because I would've bet money that she was a black girl. Pink in that video was the baddest chick ever. The look, the hair, the snarling attitude all combined to make me instantly love Pink.
I cannot lie though and say I went out and bought it. I had heard it in its entirety and loved several songs, but overall felt like it was too slick for me and never bought it. Damn me. I'm so stupid, lol. But at the time, even though it was a good, solid disc with alot of very good songs, it sounded like every single other R&B disc and was too perfect and too slick and sounded way too overproduced. It sounded like they had recorded the music already and dropped in a singer later. That's the way it hit me. I loved HER and thought SHE was gonna definitely be a big star. But I didnt pick up my first Pink disc until a year later's Missundaztood, which seems to be more Pink than the debut, meaning a clearly unique sound that was all her own with some stepped up attitude. In retrospect, this was a fantastic debut. I went out and bought it later. So, undamn me.
Excellent Debut
