Reviews:

''I'm Not Dead'' is the fourth album by pop singer Pink, released in North America on April 4, 2006 (see 2006 in music); it was released a day earlier in most other territories. Pink worked with producers and songwriters Billy Mann, Josh Abraham, Max Martin, Luke Gottwald, Butch Walker and Mike Elizondo. The tracks range from the intrinsically personal to political. The album was originally titled ''Long Way to Happy'', after the song of the same name, but Pink changed her mind because she thought ''I'm Not Dead'' made a stronger statement that this was a comeback album. In July 2005, clips of "'Cuz I Can", "U + Ur Hand" (then titled You and Your Hand), "Long Way to Happy", "Who Knew", and "Nobody Knows" were leaked to the internet.. The album (still planned to be titled "Long Way To Happy") was originally slated for a release date of September 20, 2005.

The album has sold over six million copies.

The album yielded seven singles including the lead single "Stupid Girls" which became a top five single in the UK and Australia and a top 20 single in the United States. The album's second single, "Who Knew", became a top 10 single in the United States peaking at nine and the album's third single "U + Ur Hand" are credited for re-energizing the sales of the ''I'm Not Dead'' in the United States. Songs like "Nobody Knows", "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)", "Dear Mr. President" and "'Cuz I Can" followed the success of the first three singles. - Wikipedia

Lead video/single "Stupid Girls" (not a Garbage covernote the plural) parodies airhead tabloid culture, specifically taking Lindsay, Paris and Jessica S. to task, while asking "What happened to the dream of a girl president?" Pink backs that thang up too, penning a (not complimentary) open letter to Dubya on "Dear Mr. President."
