music. Some critics drew comparisons of the Philadelphia singer to Madonna
. Robin Vaughn (The Boston Phoenix
) writes, "Chrissie Hynde
she’s not, but somewhere between Shirley Manson
and Madonna, Pink’s rock-star niche is a natural. Pink’s material may not be revolutionary art, but revolution, however vaguely imagined, was clearly a theme. She gave the girls some grown-up stuff to think about, and it wasn’t heavy on how to be a 21st-century bimbo". Christina Fuoco commented on Pink’s performance at Phoenix’s Web Theatre stating, "She was playful, holding the microphone over the crowd to let them sing the chorus of "There You Go," one of the few tunes from Can't Take Me Home she played.The playfulness segued to visual irritation when a fan threw a tampon on stage as a gift.". A staff writer for NME
writes, "All of which would amount to sweet FA, of course, if it wasn't for the fact that she also happens to have authored three of this year's greatest pop songs. Anyone whose pulse doesn't race to the set opener, 'Get The Party Started' might as well be dead. 'Just Like A Pill' is a gem that manages to ride its chic innuendo into real realms of romantic suffering and 'Dear Diary' is a sweet liaison between Madonna's 'Don't Tell Me
' and The Verve
'The Drugs Don't Work
'".
