Career beginning

As a solo artist, Pink made a name for herself as the "white girl with soul". She would earn herself a Grammy award after collaborating on a song with Lil Kim,  Christina Aguilera,, and Mya  for the Labelle remake of "Lady Marmalade". Even after creating a name for herself and with a Grammy under her belt, Pink was not happy with the genre of R&B and desired a change.
After linking up with childhood idol, Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes, Pink was able to tap into her creative and abstract soul and in turn used music to heal the pain from her childhood. Their work together would give way to the chart topper "Family Portrait". Divorce, alienation, and the lows of love was the theme of her second album "Missundazstood," the singer's second album and first Pop-Rock album that went on to sell over 10 million copies. Taking the insatiable side of Pop on for size, "Missundazstood" was one of the first albums to go against all that was Pop, smearing the picture perfect genre with beautiful flaws.
As the outspoken person Pink is, the singer did not hide the fact that she does not take a liking to fellow artist and collaborator Christina Aguilera. Her dislike of Christina led to her strained relationship with Linda after the songwriter started working with Christina on her album "Stripped." Pink spoke of her problem with Linda and Christina's partnership by saying, "I took it really personal when she started working with other artists," Pink said about Linda Perry. "Especially artists I don't really like."
