Pink, also known as Alecia Moore, came out with her 5th CD in 2008.

Her previous albums include Can't Take Me Home, M!ssundaztood, Try This, and I'm Not Dead. All of her CD's have been successful, but her single "So What" on her new CD Funhouse has become her first number one hit since "Lady Marmalade," which she sang with Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. "Lady Marmalade" was a massive hit in both the United States and the U.K.

It's no secret that the hit "So What" is the song Alecia made after her breakup with her husband. The interesting part about that though is that in her music video her husband was in it well aware of what the song meant. Many of her songs are actually based on this break up.

The second song on her CD is called "Sober." This song is again about her relationship with her husband. This song is upbeat and easy to dance to. She talks about how good and strange it is to be sober. In this music video is pretty interesting in a strange way. It's almost like a crazy person made it.

"I Don't Believe You" is the sad song of her relationship. Unlike the last to songs it's slower and tear-filled. In her music video for this song she's wearing a wedding dress and looking at all the things that once made her happy. I think it's easy to get moved by this song.

The next song is "One Foot Wrong" and it is kind of a slow paced song with some faster parts. She talks about how basically you make one mistake and it changes everything.

"Please Don't Leave Me" is her most popular song out right now. This song talks about how in a relationship you fight a lot but in the end you don't want them to leave you. I think the music video for this song is kind of creepy but very well done. She shows the extent of how much she doesn't want her boyfriend in the video to leave and it's kind of psychotic.

"Bad Influence" is more of an upbeat song. It has a fun rhythm to it. Though she is a little bit repetitive in this song.

This song is "Funhouse" also the name of the CD. I think this is a really fun song to dance to. If you watch the music video for you see some freaky looking clowns. I think that it's a way of showing how people see clowns. But the main purpose of this song is pretty much how Pink feels in her house after the breakup.

"Crystal Ball" is a really slow song. I think this song doesn't really fit in with the theme of her CD. I do think this song is pretty and well written though. The lyrics are really nice and people can easily relate to them.

The next song is "Mean" and this song is a beautiful song. She talks about how people change after you move in and get closer. People start to drift away and she wants to know how they get so mean and change after it was so good. She wants to know how to move on from that. I think this song relates to many people's relationships.

"It's All Your Fault" is a song Pink wrote to her husband. I think this song is really sweet and heart breaking at the same time. She says how hard it is to breath and move on after all they have been though and how she can make him come back. This is another song people can easily relate to.

"Ave Mary A" is a fast pasted song. I really don't get the point of this song. It seems so random on this CD. The lyrics sound like how she feels about the breakup but it's a little confusing. I do think this is a good song on this CD though.

The last song is "Glitter in the Air." This is another slow song. This song is nice and sweet. I think this is the song she came up after all the pain of the breakup. I think this song is her "I forgive you" song. It's really pretty, but I don't think it's a song that should have been put on this CD.

As you can tell this whole CD was based on Alecia's breakup with her husband. The silly thing now is that they are back together and most of these songs are irrelevant now. But I do recommend this CD. If you liked her other albums you'll like this one to. Pink truly is an amazing artist.
