Pink, Men Arena, Manchester, 26/04/09
Pink's Funhouse tour has sold out shows throughout the country and as it reached Manchester expectations were high.
Having seen her last tour I'm Not Dead back in 2006 I knew of her high-flying antics, but hovering over the heads of the audience was just a small teaser of what was to come.
Taking the title of her current album Funhouse as the theme, a ghost train, carousel, waltzers, swings and slides gave it all a fairground feel.
The spectacular start saw Pink appear from beneath the stage, and the crowd roared as they caught sight of her rise through the Jack in a Box floor.
Emerging in a skin-tight red outfit with ruffled skirt and long feather train she immediately started breathtaking mid-air moves making the stage her very own carnival.
The colourful show saw her kicking off with Bad Influence.
Knowing how to work her crowd the 29-year-old rock chick played ringmaster in a circus-themed fantasy, bouncing across stage she belted out hits old and new including Just Like a Pill, Who Knew and So What.
A sexy cover of I Touched Myself saw Pink perform stretched on a sofa with yet another revealing outfit showing her petite muscle-toned body.
Everything calmed down for an acoustic moment with tracks Crystal Ball and a more relaxed version of Trouble.

She then took to the skies for Sober, performing stunning
trapeze moves which saw her somersault through the air and hang from the hand of an acrobat.
Swooping and diving high above the room , she still sang with her usual powerful attitude.
Get the Party Started brought the entertaining show to an end with an encore of Glitter in the Air.
With the show back in Manchester in October, fans can be assured it will be well worth the wait.
