awesome

I remember reading an article when Pink was recalling the mini-disaster that was Try This, and how she knew she was spitting out really lackluster songs (save for Catch Me When I'm Sleeping). Pink has really made up for that by releasing I'm Not Dead. Each and every song has Pink's personality all over it, and if you like it, you won't be disappointed. From Pink's radio-driven Stupid Girls, where she attacks our society and its adjoined stupidity, to the thoughtful, convicting "Dear Mr. President", which is deep enough to make the strongest Republican melt. I'm glad that Pink wrote that song and didn't portray herself as an "in-your-face know-it-all". But she is very educated, and it comes through in an honest attempt to put all the jokes and the sneering aside and really face the issues that plague our country.
Through listening to the latter song, as well as "Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self", "Runaway", "The One That Got Away" and "Long Way to Happy", Pink's songwriting chops have obviously gotten stronger, and their muscles are flexed throughout the CD. One cannot help but stop and rewind certain phrases - her honesty leaves her vulnerable, but she has put herself and her opinions out there on the table, and it's up to the listener to take it or leave it. But it's not debatable that Pink has bared her soul on this record.
It's been a long time since the industry has really come face-to-face with such a poignant, fun, thought-provoking album. Classic? It's way too early to tell, but it definitely has the makeup to be one.

Great CD!

Pink is a very talented artist with important things to say. She definitely shows her strong woman side in a couple of her songs, but is not afraid to show some of her vulnerability. I think she is definitely a positive role model for girls today. My favorite songs are: Track 2 "Who Knew," Track 3 "Long Way to Happy," Track 5 "Dear Mr. President," Track 9 "U + UR Hand," and Track 10 "Runaway."
Everyone should definitely give this CD a chance.

Now That's More Like It!!!

I bought this CD because I just couldn't get "Who Knew" out of my head. I loved Pink when she first came out and listened to her first hit CD non-stop. When she released "Mizundastood", I rushed out and bought it without even hearing it first. Big mistake. I forced myself to listen to it only a handful of times and finally just chalked it up as a loss. Such a disappointment. However, this CD certainly made up for the money waisted on my previous purchase! I think Pink really opens herself up and lets go with this one. Even if you can't relate directly to what she's singing about, she certainly makes you feel as though you've been there too.
As I said, I bought this for the song "Who Knew" because it reminded me so much of a past relationship I'd had and how I feel about it now. Almost everyone has had that one person who they really thought WOULD be there forever and one day you realize, like everyone tried to tell you, that they won't be. Still, you hang onto that memory & tuck it away along with a little piece of your heart just in case ....
Now that I've had the chance to listen to the whole CD, it totally rocks!!! It's ALL attitude with major emphasis on being your own strong, independent woman- regardless of what society thinks!! Of course, I have to give props to "stupid girls", but the one that really cracked me up was "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)".... Reminds me of the kind of song you just HAVE to crank up in when you're alone in the car (or the shower- LOL!)
GO PINK!! Now that's more like it!!!!

I'm not dead- but she may as well be
Created: 16/08/06
I'm really dissapointed with Pink's latest CD I'm not dead.
I use to like her music-her anger at the world really suited my teenage mod swings, However being a bit older now, her music is so depressing and her latest album is no different.
Her song 'stupid girls' is about bulimia, she has ago at politicians in 'Dear Mr. President', when are singers going to realize shouting their mouth off in music is no good?!
So overall-I wouldn't recommend this CD, just stick to her past work then move on.

Great CD by an excellent artist

I bought Pink's CD titled I'm Not Dead approximately 3 weeks ago. I haven't stopped listening to it since I received it. It does include some profanity, so it may not be for those with sensitive ears. But, I think Pink did a very good job getting her point across in all her songs on this CD. Each song has its own message, and a very good one at that. Pink's song "You and Your Hand" started playing on the radio, which inspired me to purchase the CD without having heard the other songs. I must say that I'm very impressed, as are all of my friends who have listened to it as well.
