That’s a good one. I can’t pinpoint an exact moment tbh but I’ll try!
CTMH wasn’t very big over here so I pretty much discovered her when M!ss came out (I backtracked to CTMH later when I found out about it). So I was about 15 and loooved the song and video for GTPS. That’s why I bought the album. Then I listened to it and discovered this voice. Her voice to this day is still the main thing about her, I just love it to much. Then her lyrics, it was like the album was written for me, I could relate to so many songs. This hasn’t changed with the following albums, I‘m still amazed at how much I can relate to so many of her songs. And of course third was her style and personality which I thought were awesome, loved her clothes and thought she was pretty (now I think she’s even more beautiful) and her sense of humor in interviews just made me like her even more. To this day it never changed. So I guess that sums it up!

Ok so here’s my story. I remember seeing Most Girls on MTV back in 2000 and thinking ooooh, I like this girl. Not my kind of music but loved her look, style and voice. then Lady marmalade came out and remember being drawn to her over the others also. She was ripping with attitude and I loved it 😊.
but it wasn’t until missundaztood that she really got my attention. JLAP in particular, but the whole album just spoke to me. To be honest Try This didn’t speak to me the same way, it was in a time of my life when my kids were born and I suppose at that time I wasn’t really into music the same way.
Then I’m not dead era arrived and BAM. I was going through a lot personally at this time and it was like I had found a long lost friend. But it was in days before social media and YouTube wasn’t really a thing yet and although I loved her music I wasn’t in a place where I would even considered seeing her live. I had tiny kids, no spare money and relationship issues and was going through personal hell a lot of the time.
Funhouse era changed EVERYTHING for me. Suddenly social media was a thing, I loved the new album and all the videos, and I started going through her back catalogue on YouTube, show videos and interviews. I loved how funny and genuine and down to earth she was. I remember finding the Leave me alone (I’m lonely) video, with the compilation of her IND shows at Wembley, seeing her on the silks and thinking ‘holy shit, this woman is amazing! I need to see her live!’ So I didn’t start going to concerts until the Funhouse/Summer carnival era. The album spoke to me as I was literally going through the same thing she had been relationship-wise, and again with TTAL when we got back together. I feel like I’ve grown with her, we are a similar age and I’ve related to every stage of her life and every song.
so yeah, that was long haha. That’s my story 😊 💕 💕

When I first saw Most Girls, I first noticed her, when I was still like 13...
I liked her and started to listen to that girl with the pink hair..
Missundaztood got me like "WOW.. I love that girl!" and feeling so connected with her. (like probably everybody here does)
It was later in 2004, I got raped and sexually abused, when she totally got me with 18 Wheeler and Lonely Girl - 2 very different songs with different messages but back then - it was exactly how I felt constantly.
Torn between these emotions I didn't know where to go and what to feel, but she and her music made it bearable.
Feeling like that didn't stop until maybe 3 years ago, with ups and downs.. when I managed to find a way for myself, to deal with my past, my present and hopefully - my future.
I don't want to call myself a "victim" no more - I'm a survivor!
( I want to share all that with you - so everybody out, who might feel the same knows, that "YOUR ARE NOT ALONE" and "YOU'LL GET THROUGH THAT")
Being ashamed and feeling like a "victim" for so many years - it was Pink who was always there!
She has so many songs that are so close to my heart and like she always says "it's group therapy"!
I can't and don't wanna imagine a life without her in my life, it's unbelievable how much she changed my life and for how long has been a part of my life. (only my parents and my sister are in my life longer that her.)
I'm so grateful to have her and how many wonderful people, moments, feelings and music she has brought to me. <3

I've been thinking since when I became a Pink fan, and actually since the first singles she released that I like her. But I was never an avid follower, at the time I just watched the video clips on Mtv in the game room I frequented or in any bar that happened to be on TV.
I was never very fanatic, I liked it and that's it. Probably in 2005 was when I realized I had all her albums recorded in my playlist. Last year I started to think about seeing her in concert someday and this year came true. It was the best experience of my life, which for the first time made me more obsessed with some artist, and now I like to know everything about her and everything that surrounds her and I pray that someday I'll be able to go to her show once again .For me in her music I find the story of my life, and often the remedy for my bad mood or theistness or joy .... her music can make my day a better day and so I love her

OK I was only 9 years old when CTMH was released but I was always watching MTV and all the other music channels and I didn't even hear about her till Miss was out. And looking back,it does look like it was only when Miss was released she was propelled into stardom and became more known by people |

I think in the US it was but in Europe not so much. I don’t really recall. I was about 14 in 2000 and still quite into Britney I think lol That’s a good one.

I love reading everyone’s stories ❤️
So yeah CTMH was not big here and it wasnt my type of music anyway but M!ss came out at the exact right time of my life. I was 11-12, i just started to translate song lyrics and was surprised how much meaning Pink songs had and i was starting to look for my place among others in the world, trying to fit in and be like everyone else and then Pink was kind of a rebel and suddenly i didnt feel like i needed to fit in. I saw her videos, absolutely loved DLMGM but i was done for life with JLAP which is my fav video and live song to this day. I really loved Try This and wanted to be a badass like her. And then i saw the IND tour, joined PP a few days later and since then i guess i’ve been what various friends and family members and exes called a “crazy fan” 🙄☺️
