I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...well it started out when i was young, i was extremely troubled, my Dad and I didnt have a very close connection, he bought me P!nks single the one with Family Portrait on...i listened to it over and over again, i realised it was time for me and my Dad to make ammends, and all because of Alecia's inspirational music, from hen on my Dad and me are close and i listen to all of P!nks music, my favourite and most ultimate song is Family Portrait which i sang at school for a competition "stars in their eyes" ofcourse being so young and nervous i didnt get very far, i didnt have only the music sing to so i had to try and be louder than P!nk, i couldnt but my teacher said that i tried very well and i should try taking singing lessons to progress, well i havent taken lessons, my voice isnt as good as P!nks, i like it that way too, because Alecia is my role model if i tried to be better than her then she wouldnt be my role model. Now I am 16 and i sing P!nks songs to myself all day, my brother is sick of me singing them because he has a different musical background, more of the heavier rock way ha ha but...I'll never stop listening, I've never had enough money of my own to buy a ticket to see P!nk live...which I am so upset about, but...my brother knows how much i love her music, when he went to this years reading festival or some band festival, P!nk was playing, he rang me up and held his phone up high so I could listen to all of her music as if i was there...ill never forget that, and then after that my 16th came up, knowing I am a VERY hard person to buy for, he knew exactly what to get, he bought me P!nk "Im Not Dead" CD! i couldnt beleive it i was so extatic! i play it almost every day now, i play it in the car when ever we go out and when my mom cooks our dinner I put it on and when im alone in the house i play it on replay so i can just stand infront of the big mirror with my imaginary microphone and sing my heart out, i like to think i have a similar voice to Alecia, i have i little huskyness in my voice too which im proud of and my parents are trying to get me to further my voice by getting me to take proper lessons and put it to good use but im too shy for that, i like to sing her songs to myself.

If you are like me, you will understand how much Alecia's songs have affected you, she sings from her heart the things that she feels and turns them into songs, i dont know where id be without her music to help me. So from the bottom of my heart i thank you so much! you are my heroine and i listen to your voice when im down, dont ever stop no matter what happens keep singing and i will always be there to listen to you along with the milllions who also love and adore you

thank you so much P!nk

Go out there and buy her CD, DVD and posters listen to her music and tell me it hasn't opened up something in your heart...you will have found someone to follow in life
