Her entire Jagged Little Pill album was a masterpiece.

This song gave a lot of us a perfect outlet for anger, frustration, and pain, regardless of whether it involved a breakup. It's cathartic. The whole album is absolute gold.

Best line in the song "Does she know that you told me you'd hold me until you died..UNTIL YOU DIED...Well your're still alive!!!!

Jagged Little Pill is a stunning album.

The whole album - one of the top 25 of all time. The 90s wasn’t a decade - it was an a emotion 🖤

The whole album is amazing. You can literally pick any track from it and react to it and it would be a good reaction video! When this came out in 1995, it was like a tsunami; it just suddenly, almost literally overnight, became the biggest album of the year and is still one of the biggest selling albums of that decade and beyond. The trauma that must have inspired this album has became quite liberating for many people. A sign of good art. (It also does have a sense of humour.)

Yes she called Dave to talk about what was going on between them and he used the excuse that he couldnt talk because he was about to have dinner...so she used that to tell her story lol...love her.

As a teenager in the 90s, I was living & breathing this album. So many amazing women came out of what was called "the time of Lilith, " after the music festival that headlined all ladies.

"Uninvited" is also great.

I was 18-19 when this song hit the radio. It sparked a generation of angry young women, that's for sure! We'd never heard our secret feelings out loud before. It was a 90s girl-power revolution. 😊❤

_Jagged Little Pill_ is still a timelessly incredible album, and "You Oughta Know" is one of those iconic songs that just hit.

Fun fact: Nirvana’s drummer and Alanis’s drummer became Foo Fighters.

Back story is that this song was about the actor that played Uncle Joey from full house

I was 17/18 at the time. She spoke/sang her mind and that related and felt almost like a relieve.

To parrot everyone else, the whole album is amazing. It was the third best selling album of the 90s.

Angry alanis is best alanis. Applaud the queen

The great thing about music is that it gives you a safe space to release those emotions. When I am feeling angry, nervous, scared, I listen to certain songs/ artists like this and a lot of Eminem, on full blast and scream sing along. It is cathartic!

This album is in the top ten best selling albums of all time and the only female . Not even Maddona who discovered Her and produced it on her maverick lable is on that list

I was 18 when this came out... it really was huge and I still love every single song on this album

I've owned this album since I was 16 and I'll forever listen to it.

21 years old and backed by half of Red Hot Chilli Peppers. A classic. I was touring the States when the album came out and saw her on TV. Went out of my way to buy the album the next next day. Blew friends away by playing it when I got home to the UK. Then she went global.

You spoke the truth, and despite what some aspects of society might say, you shouldn't be afraid to speak your truth. Nothing wrong with that, and it's good that you feel so connected to your community that you could naturally (with a little nudge from Alanis) get some shit off your chest. I love when that happens. Don't know ya very well yet, but I can safely say, love you too, bro. Keep fighting, you got this

I'm a collector of tattoos and when this song was released I was going through a horrible, messy, petty breakup with my "soulmate"(I thought). I'm so thankful that my tattoo artist happened to be on vacation when I called! I would be living with a tattoo that said "...and every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it"! I hadn't figured out where I was going to get it, but I'm sure I would be regretting it! Lol! Awesome song and I think I burned through 3 or 4 CDs of Jagged Little Pill! Every song on that CD is fire! I love the hidden track "Your House" and it's rumored that song is about the actor Ryan Reynolds

As a man...fuck that...this song kicks fucking ASS

This song and album were amazing! I think that’s Dave Navarro on guitar which is also cool!

Great song as most of the album Jagged Little Pill. This song is supposed to be about Uncle Joey(Dave Coulier) which makes it even better. lol Also Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters is her drummer at the time.

She wrote this song and this album when she was a teen …. Stunning !!

There's good music now for sure but oh the 90s! So many good ones.

She smashed it 👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜💜

Im all Pink Floyd but this album goes in my top 5 of all time.. She was so bitter writing this album it was raw. She found peace after this album when she found her new inner self and im glad for her dont get me wrong But this album has every dong on my playlist.

Love her voice

You should check out her song Uninvited. She spent some time in India to escape her newfound fame from Jagged Little Pill, and when she finally returned to music, she brought some Eastern elements with her to create a haunting, cryptic orchestral rock song with world music influences. It doesn’t have a music video, and while live performances are extraordinary, it’d be best to start with the original - the music speaks for itself without visuals.

I’ve watched a lot of people react to this song, you had some really interesting insights, I really appreciate you honestly listening and absorbing the song like you did, honesty is a rarity online.

Remember, "anger" is really just hurt, frustration or fear in disguise.

I love that you made the Nirvana comparison. Mostly because that's Taylor from Foo Fighters on the drums. Interesting coincidental comparison.

Madonna's hands are all over this album. Love it!

I played her Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie so much when I was 17, such a good album. As a life long Nirvana fan, I bet you'd like their stuff. Just an overall good band and the best unplugged performance ever. Ane what comes to Seattle scene, the most underrated voice is Mark Lanegan. Pure gold.

It's interesting that you brought up Nirvana. Dave Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana, and eventually started the Foo Fighters as lead singer. Years before that came to fruition, Taylor Hawkins was the touring drummer for Alanis. You can see him in the background in this video. Unfortunately, Taylor Hawkins recently passed away due to an accidental drug overdose. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers along with Dave Navarro are both featured on the album as well.

I love this album. I remember hearing her for the first time when I was 5 or 6, mostly Ironic and You Learn. Always loved her. This song is insanely boss and the perfect “I’m PO’d at my ex” song.

Yeah, she was angry! 😂 I love Alanis ❤️

Her album, Jagged Little Pill, is still the 2nd highest selling debut album of all time still and the highest selling female debut album of all time. And there was no one like her in music when she came on the scene.

Imagine being the record exec who dropped her when she said she wanted to write her own stuff and go in this direction. What a clown. lol

Thanks for sharing and your honesty. I get what you are saying and it was helpful to hear.

Jagged Little Pill is the album that this song was on. It was on Madonna's Maverick label. As stated below it is/was an incredible album.

So hard to believe you've never heard this before, even in passing. 😳

Love it

Uhhh, fantastic! Yesterday, i thought you can show Alanis and you already did! I didn't know this video till yet. Great!

I am so glad I found your channel. I think you’re doing a fantastic job. Thank you for all of the hard work that goes into these videos! Keep smiling! :)

your candor and sincerity are powerful. your ability to communicate your emotional state of being with such a lack of hypocrisy is refreshing and inspiring to someone going thru a similar stage of life. love your videos. good vibrations your way from New Mexico.

Jagged little pill - the epitome of 90s angst

I love your openness about where you are at emotionally. We all have moments in our lives, ups and downs. We just gotta do the best we can to get through the downs. Hang in there!

Great reaction. This whole album is a masterpiece. By the way I totally appreciate your honesty that’s why I subscribed to your channel . Love hearing your thoughts on the songs you react to even when I don’t see them the same way.😀👍❤️✌️🌼

Excellent reaction vid. Your point of view was very interesting

Everything in this track is awesome, I especially love Flea on the bass guitar, so crazy, as usual. Thanks and love from France 🇫🇷🎸😘

That’s Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and drummer making a cameo in this one

🤘💜🤘 Enjoyed your reaction. This was such a good song. A huge hit, in 1995, helping her album sell 33 million copies. She became the first Canadian to hit triple diamond status with that album.

BTW, I seem to have been coming to your channel a lot lately. Your enjoyment of Duran Duran won me over. I subscribed!

Top three favorite Alanis songs all come from the same album, Jagged Little Pill. "You Oughta Know," "Hand In My Pocket," and "Ironic." "All I Really Want" is another good song off of that album. However, she has many goods songs throughout her discography.

Such a unique/awesome voice, jagged little pill is amazeballs 🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶 more reactions from this album would be much appreciated 🤘🤘 Dude, don't worry about pleasing everyone, just do what makes you happy.Sure is exhausting wearing a mask 24/7 I totally understand that.💖💖 how you're so genuine. Take care & stay safe 🤘🤘

this is just touching the service of the greatness

This CD was my anthem in the 90’s!!!

Thanks for your Honest reaction. life is about finding balance in your spirit because you need to find your own peace and contentment. It’s all about boundaries. Blessings to you.

What you describe in yourself, that 'interpreting the world through an unresolved trauma', is what I term "fighting ghosts". The 'ghost' or 'afterimage' of a person or situation associated with a trauma you've gone through gets conjured up when the situation you're in feels too much like what you went through before, when you got hurt. The person or circumstances places you back in that mindset & emotion, even if it's only superficial similarities. It can be 'all women' or 'all breakups' or 'all betrayals' or whatever. So you flip out a little (or a lot) and get combative with the person "doing this to you - again". Objective examination of the situation may prove you're misinterpreting the situation. You may have jumped the gun. Or what's happening may be unintentional or not even heading to the end result you fear. But there you are, fighting a battle that isn't even really occurring. But all you see is being back in that hellish place again, even if you're actually quite mistaken. You're "fighting ghosts". And it's especially strange for the person getting the punishment for the situation that occurred before you even came into this person's life, a situation that isn't even happening in the moment. The smart thing is to recognize that when someone gets caught in fighting his/her ghosts, it isn't personal to YOU. Treat it like sleepwalking or like a wounded animal, because they're not fight YOU, they're fighting a pain that scarred them deep. Alanis is very raw, emotionally, in this song. The story is that she was an underaged teen when she got into a relationship with a man ("Uncle Joey" from the TV show Full House) who was twice her age. After 2 years, he dropped her, suddenly, with no preparation or consideration for a woman closer to his age ("an older version of me"). She sometimes called his house, to talk to him, which would have helped her work through it, but he just brushed her off, claiming he was in the middle of dinner and couldn't talk just then. I suspect he made her feel irrelevant and disposable. That can't have helped. So this song came out of the disregard of a 'man' who didn't take any responsibility for how he left a teenager shattered and broken after 2 years of telling her how much he loved her. You have to wonder if leaving her like that was a way to continue to use her for a little ego boost, that he affected her so deeply. I appreciate that you can see her pain and relate to it. I think we all have had scarring moments in life. We can respond to those traumas by putting up walls and fighting ghosts in future relationships...or we can use it as a basis for empathy and compassion.

Joining You, or Uninvited are just Alanis powerhouse songs as well. Thank You is another power song. This album in 95/96 was massive. You have no idea how massive this album (Jagged Little Pill) was.

Another great, thoughtful reaction! This came out in 1995, when I was 21 and just getting over my first serious GF (well, I was serious at least, not sure about her with the benefit of hindsight, hahaha!). One of the raw-est breakup songs ever written, and the timing was perfect for me! Weirdly, Alanis is also apparently the same age as me within 1 month. What an album Jagged Little Pill was - one of the albums that defined the 90s imo.

This bassline is courtesy of Flea, a la Red Hot Chili Peppers. That's where that FONKY FONK comes from

I loved "forgiven" its probably my fav

"Hell hath no fury . . . "

How on earth do you not know these songs??!? I can’t imagine how that’s possible

This is such a beautiful and romantic love song.

Most people experience emotions. This song is her expression of sharing how she was betrayed. The beauty of music is we can find the ones that relate to our emotions at the time. I, personally, love the fact music and lyrics can depict how people feel. It is okay to feel negative feelings; it is how one reacts that makes the difference. Music is an art that can convey feelings that are not necessarily easy to express verbally or face-to-face with a person. That, to me, is the beauty of ALL art.

ALANIS IS A GODDESS PURE N SIMPLE...HER LATEST ALBUM PUT THE PIECES OF MY BLOWN MIND FROM EVERYTHING ELSE IN HER CAREER, BACK TOGETHER...THEN BLEW EM APART AGAIN...:p

This song was talking about her ex-boyfriend actor Dave Coulier who played Uncle Joey in the 90's sitcom Full House.

Wait... what??? Impossible not to hear this song for all this years. *Impossible*

My favorite song of hers. We all called it the "mad woman song"! We all felt empowered somehow, even when it didn't relate to us at that moment. I have to add (because I can 😁) . . . check out Pink's song "Hustle" from her 2019 album Hurts2BHuman. It has a similar message, although not as much "poor me", but "too bad for you", and is an upbeat "swingin" tune. You will love it!

Fck that She is everything we want in a woman! Great vid bro☮

This is just a funny song. It's dark funny, but still really funny. Props for being so honest and vulnerable. That takes guts. Subscribed.

All the worthwhile 90's songs were brutally honest and IN Your Face.

Always enjoy the honesty! The first time I heard that song it was her voice that detracted me. It was too harsh for what I was used to. Then at some point I listened again and kind of liked it and decided to get the album and became completely devoted...at one point playing the album from beginning to end for weeks at a time. This and "Listen Without Prejudice" became almost religions. Great reaction as usual.

Alanis' music is raw, emotional, happy, intelectual, sad, angry, spiritual, it's full spectrum! There is a lot of golden music in her later albums though they weren't as commercially successful and popular as JLP

This song was a time piece of bent up rage of false promises, being lost and realizing the path set before you doesn't work and it never has. It is the 90's angst. This tape, because I couldn't afford CD at the time, caught me in my early 20's. I played by the rules, I fell in love and yet I was just as lost as the IV drug users dying in the street. It was sobering as well as reminding the listener that our weaknesses are our strengths.

you can almost put your finger on the change from the 80s having fun to the angry 90s.it happened overnight.

Man, I felt your breakdown on this one. My first GF spent time with me making out on Friday before she left for some church retreat for the weekend, telling me how much she loved me etc. Called me Sunday night and told me she wanted to meet in the stairwell (where we did a lot of our kissing) at school on Monday before class. I arrived and she was there with a friend of hers and just told me "I never want to see you again or talk to you..." and that was it. Found out through mutual friends she met a guy at the retreat. That set the tone for all my breakups for the next 10 years. I thought that was the normal, or what was going to happen so often I would beat them to the punch. etc. I still look back at it now and again and wonder how you can do that to someone without them even giving you a reason. But life goes on. Have a great Christmas!

ah one of the many legends of grunge rock. I was a teenager at the time and all my life there'd been nothing or no one who seemed to understand me or that I could relate to. You had Metal heads and House... but Bah.... Then I heard grunge and it was like someone calling out to me ''Don't worry I hear you ''. As a teen Girl in the 90's this particular song told us it was alright to be mad .

Do "Hand in My Pocket! Very positive yet reflecting on her weaknesses and strengths

"Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it". That's cold.

She wrote this about Joey from Full House.

she was on you can't do that on tv

Alanis - That I would be good

You saved half of your life not missing out Alanis Morissette.

Quite interesting how you talked about trama and abusive parenthood. Alanis has a song called The Couch that you should definitely check out.

When my mom, my sisters and i was in the office of the funeral man (can't remember the English word) we where looking for a picture to use at the funeral. But my dad always made faces or did something weird, we where looking at the weird pictures on our phones showing them too each other. Then one of my sisters showed a picture where the lighting made my dad look kinda like a ghost and he was making a face that made him look like he had just done a prank and he was just waiting for it to happen. All of us bursed out in laughter while the funeral dude just sat there looking at us. When you are so sad and have been crying so much then laughter is not that far away. Crying while laughing happends too

This song is rated as a top 3 break up songs! Its about Uncle Joey from Full House who she dated and he dogged her. Where she sang about Crossed Eyed Bear was something he gave her. You miss the part where she said would he go down on you in a theater lol!

all alanis all the damn time

why am I nodding when you look at the camera and ask a question?

Isn't Flea and Dave Navarro in this?? Taylor Hawkins on drums but he played with her for years b4 Foo's. Absolutely love Jagged Little Pill, she ruled my world in the 90s! Banger!! 🔥👍🏽

Please react to So Pure by Alanis Morissette or Hands Clean

That's our whole 90s teenage generation, we are intense but also at the same time we don't care 😄

Your reaction to the song makes me want you to hear "the warmth" by Incubus ♡
