Was Pink not successful in the R&B market? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When Pink burst onto the scene with her debut album Can't Take Me Home in 1999 Pink was gonna be a huge star in R&B music with the singles There You Go and Most Girls it seemed that Pink was successful in R&B but as soon as her second album came out in 2001 with the release of Get The Party Started it seemed that she changed genres and went for a rock sound and repeated it with the underrated album Try This and her fourth album and the album Funhouse. Is this because Laface Records tried to make her have an image like a rap artist and tried to make her have an image like singer Kandi Burgess?. I thought the R&B genre suited Pink the best because it is a huge marketing genre for singers today. Why they made her do rock i'll never understand

50/50 but starting with her sophomore album, she wanted to go Pop-Rock instead of solely being R&B I think.

I think why Pink chose to go for a rock sound is that she could try to become more popular with the rock audience and I think they tried to make her like Courtney Love and Pat Benatar. I must admit when I first bought Pink's album Can't Take Me Home upon me being a fan of the single There You Go I knew she would become a star. But had Pink stayed in the R&B genre she would've become huge as Beyonce
