This was the era where everyone tried to make a white Aaliyah.
LA Reid was his name and Pink was his project. Make the white girls sound black and give them black hairstyles and lyrics written by black people. Success.

LA Reid told her to do R & B because at the time pop was overly saturated and she had a strong voice…then she turned on him and made it seem like he didn’t help her.

Wasn’t her album… She wanted to be a star , she signed a contract and did THEIR music. She branched out and made HER music , she’s not a vulture.

I used to date a guy from SoCal that was roommates with Carey Hart, they were both BMXers. Well, my ex was dealing and he said when Carey first started Pink, before she was Pink and just some chick, she actually STOLE an eight ball off him and never paid for it. I have no reason to doubt this man, it’s such a random but believable story.
So, every time I see this woman, I think to myself, “There’s that bitch who stole an eightball off Mike.”
That first album still has some bangers. “There You Go” goes hard.

Story as old as time. Because we accept everyone to the cookout; use the Black fan base to drive attention then switch over to county/rock arc to secure the bag. See Justin Timberlake, Kid Rock, Miley Cyrus, MGK…

Take everything from new jack swing and pretend it never happened, lol

Oh, and her music is trash. Byeeee!
She broke through on black (urban) radio.
This post made me revisit [this Jezebel piece](https://www.jezebel.com/soulful-vanilla-child-when-pink-was-black-1834392180). Sounds like the label pushed her to an R&B sound for the first album. Her second album and every album after that is authentic P!nk.
That first album still has some bangers. “There You Go” goes hard.
