Parents need to know that there's some strong language, sexual innuendo, and lots of in-your-face attitude. Conservative parents may not appreciate "Dear Mr. President," an open letter to President Bush that criticizes his administration.
Positive messages:Very strong, positive messages for girls; feelings about social commentary will depend on your politics.
Violence:In the context of anti-war statements on "Dear Mr. President."
Sex: not much, stupid girl and dear mr. president ("what kind of father would hate his own daughter if she were gay?)
Violence: none
Language: the biggest issue of all, topped by f**k, D**n, and s**t.
As with most music today there is language that I would prefer my kids not here. Stupid Girls is great. What other artists are currently putting out positive messages for young girls? I believe that most of Pink's songs on this CD and on Missundaztood are positive, not all of them are as clean as I might want. Another great song on this one is Dr Mr President. While it does not name any president by name, it is ant-current administration. Sample lyrics, "How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh"
This CD is my favorite CD for sure. P!nk is my favorite singer, and I think behind all of the swear words, and content, there is a good message for people. Tweens can't really listen to many songs on here. But I'll list the ones they can listen to later. But the teens that listen to this that are like 13, I think they learn great stuff from most of these songs. I'll list each song and tell if it's good or bad, and what age you should be, incase there are a few songs that younger kinds want to hear. The first song is "Stupid Girls". Does it have a good message? Yes and No. It is about P!nk not wanting to be stupid, and trying her hardest. But it is also about her making fun of the stupid girls. Is it OK for kids? Not really. You should be 13. This song say "F" 3 times, and 2 are used in a sexual manor. And it has some mild drinking content. Next is the song "Who Knew". Does it have a good message? Yes. It is about losing somebody you care about, and keeping them in your heart forever. Is it OK for kids? Most kids. I think 8+. It says kiss, 1 time in a friendly manor. Other wise it is pretty clean. The lines are "When some one said count your blessings now, for their long gone, i guess I just didn't know how. I was all wrong."_ and "I wish I could touch you again, I wish I could still call you friend, I'd give anything."
P!nk really gives a whack at just about everyone. I love the music video to Stupid girls where the anorexic girls are in the bathroom. It's really true.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM! I had never heard Pink before in my life and the first time I listened to this album I was wowed. Buy it ASAP. It touches on all stupid political views of the leaders. Whatever just buy it!
This is filled with pretty good songs, my favorite is "Conforsations with my 13 year old self" -its realistic, its heartfelt, she actually sounds like she cares, some singers sing with hardly any emotion at all. She's reaching out to teens in a good way, she understands some struggles teenagers go through, these songs show we aren't alone. All of the songs reflect on ones' feelings, and haha at "walking with their itzy-bitzy doggies and their teenie-weenie tees. Where have the smart people gone?" -total twenty first century. P!nk said she's glad to be unique, girls with anbishion is what she wants to see. "Stupid Girl" is the story of my classmates... lol. "Dear Mr. Presedent" is also very good! She's saying how do you feel while the rest of us cry, homeless, and all of the dramatic things going on. Awesome song. Its true, our leaders are more of celebraties than answers. Congress hardly passes laws that, I don't know, HELP anybody but themselves. I never thought America was the best country in the world. It could be, if people actually work at it. These songs are really insperational! Listen to them. She doesn't make drugs and all that trash people worship sound like all that.
I cannot believe that someone would give this CD to an innocent 15 year old.
I have never bought any of her albums and never will in the near future. I hope that this review will encourage people NOT to buy this CD.
I asked for this CD for Christmas after hearing a couple of songs. It is great! The parental warning is there for a reason. The language is very explicit. The F word is used quite a bit. I would check out the editited version for younger teens because the messeges Pink sends are very good. I myself would perfer the editied version(which I have not heard) because most of the profanity in the CD is unnecessary. I would consider letting my 14 year old listen to the editited version if it was done well.
I thank this song is yes age good no it doesn't get kids sad or mad are to dance
Don't have to touch each outher so I would give this song even cd to people that are Teens because not only is it good for them but pink has never been nasty are bad talking no bad thang have been done so yeah I say go ahead and let you kids
Have the song
I listened to this CD when I was 12, and have no problem with it. I think it's fine for 13+. Stupid Girls gives a positive message to girls and women: You don't have to be pretty,rivh or famous to be likeable.
