Having complete control over an album may sound liberating for a musician, but Pink found it challenging. "I've always had people telling me that I can't do something, and then I've proven them wrong, so it was a little uninspiring just to be completely free to do whatever I wanted," the pop singer told reporters in London. She also worried that she wouldn't have enough emotion left to put into the new album, called Try This. "I felt like I poured out my entire 23 years of life into Missundaztood and I figured I'd have to live 20 more years to have anything to talk about, but I was inspired," she said. Try This hits stores Tuesday, and competition from new releases by Britney Spears and Alicia Keys isn't bothering her. "That's the beautiful thing about the music business, is everybody can win at the same time," she said. As far as being a role model, Pink said she knows she's not traditional but hopes people appreciate her honesty.
