Much like Lauryn Hill's masterpiece "Miseducation of Lauryn hill", jagged little pill is one of the greatest albums of all time. Both are utter perfection!
I was a metal head from the eighties. Grew up in the whole scene. I was never one to care what others thought of me. When I first heard Jagged Little Pill at a house party in 96, I was immediately hooked. The intensity and rawness of her singing and the naked emotions conveyed in her voice. It was so metal without being metal for me. It was like nothing I had ever heard. I listened to it hundreds of times. One of my all time favourite albums! Love from Ontario, Canada 😍
Boy, when Jagged Little Pill was released I was absolutely blown away by her. It is phenomenally rare to hear one open up all of life's wounds right there for all to see. I had this CD on loop for months on end. Congrats again on 200K subs [whoo hoo.... YAY.... ALRIGHT]
@@kompound52 Are you not understanding? The comment is about this video. Alan Rickman is not in this video. The voice you just heard in this video, is the voice of God .
@@stevensmith328 you are the one that referenced dogma. And yeah we get it, alanis was God in the movie and its her singing. Was playing off that since you said "voice of god", it was another reference.
Jagged Little Pill blew my mind when it came out, and I was a staunchly metal/hard rock fan at the time. She was just undeniable, great voice, great song writing.
This is interesting... As a German I didn't understand her when I was a kid. All I could understand was "It's not fair!" and this alone and the emotions she put into it was enough to connect to her. I love her so much and even more now that I can finally understand what the lyrics are about!
When I was a kid in the 90s we had to pretend we didn’t like Alanis morissette, being boys and all. In front of friends: “oh god turn that crap off” Alone: “🎶AND IIIIM HEEEREE TO REMIIIND YOOOUUU🎶
SquidBag Well considering i was a teenaged boy and it was the 90s, I hadn’t had much time to contemplate such wisdom yet. No boy wants to be ridiculed by their peers for liking something not cool. Plus my mom really liked alanis morissette
Absolutely brutal for me... such nostalgia. Brilliant track from the record where Flea goes beast mode... but this is just screaming my youth from the back of my heart.
Howard stern became everything he used rile against on his show. Because he is so fake. This guy has been promoting the Russia gate hoax. For god sake.

I love Alanis! She is definately the artist who influenced my vocal style the most as a youngster trying to break away from such strict singing habits from being trained in opera.
I could listen to that album (unplugged) from start to finish more than once. So great that sort of emotional creciendo toward the end. It was quite epic. I love her lyrics, they are so rich... and long. So well thought
Nice one Beth - I've always like Alanis: she's a really original and interesting songwriter as well as a distinctive singer. If you want to review stuff from this era, why not do something by Skunk Anansie? Skin is a really fantastic singer (there's footage on RU-vid of her singing with _Pavarotti_ and holding her own!). They reformed in 2008 so there's new stuff as well as classic stuff to listen to. Also: did I just get the FIRST comment in? Bloody Hell - that's never happened to me before!
I remember seeing Skunk Anansie live in the 90's, and again a couple of times since they reformed. The band is really tight, and Skin has a really amazing set of pipes on her.
Love Alanis, you could react to each performance in this concert, it's amazing, i remember being obsessed with it when it came out like 20 years ago on MTV, how time flies.
the power of Alanis voice to communicate is so powerful that for a moment you forget that she is singing, and you can believe that is a friend telling you a story
I remember when this song was in heavy airplay on the radio here in the USA. My best friend and myself would be road tripping to see our girlfriends. Every time this song came on the radio, once an hour at least, we would look at each other and yell, THAT ANGRY SCORNED CHICK IS ON THE RADIO AGAIN!!! Then laugh hysterically while we sang along with Alanis. We are two guys. Good times.
I'd love to see you take on a Tom Waits song next. His voice was once described by a critic as "sounding like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." One of my favorite vocalists and definitely unique!
at last!!!!! No one has EVER reacted to Alanis live on RU-vid, how crazy was that!!!!!??? Thankfully this has now changed, and I'm subscribing before even watching this! thank you!!!
My dear, departed friend, Owen Stevens, was particularly fond of this song. He had a live in girlfriend who left, for no good reason. My poor friend never recovered. But this song gave him a small measure of comfort. Cancer took him from us, not suicide. I miss him.
There's also another excellent Alanis live performance here on RU-vid of her doing "Mary Jane" off this same album. (Search "Alanis Morissette - Mary Jane - JLP Live.") I'd love to see a reaction of that as well. Alanis really is underrated. She's probably known best as a "one hit wonder," but that really shortchanges her on how talented she was (and continues to be), and how much passion she has always put into her work.
I agree, and while breakout singles are both necessary and a curse I really liked the Entanglement album. It's richly intimate. Even hearing this version of You Oughta Know without the 90's thrashing Alt Rock guitars makes the song new and dimensional again.
I think that she controls snd uses her breathing sounds to add emotion to her performance. At times she sounds like shes gasping for air. This is intentional to add that emotional touch
This is my favourite reaction that you've ever done! You pointed out a lot of things that I already knew. Please do a review of other Canadian artist I grew up with, such as Sarah McLachlan, Céline Dion, Shania Twain. Maybe even some k.d. lang. I recommend a hallelujah by her.
I'd throw in a few more fantastic Canadians: Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies), Tom Wilson (Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings...and a fantastic duet with Sarah on 'Burned out car'), Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo), Holly McNarland, Jann Arden, Bruce Cockburn, Nelly Furtado, Melissa McLelland (Whitehorse and at times in Sarah's band), The late great Gord Downie (Tragically Hip).....
I love Alanis!!! , please i highly recommend you to react to SANDRO and his PORQUE YO TE AMO or COMO LO HICE YO.. SANDRO WAS THE FIRST LATIN SINGER FROM ARGENTINA TO EVER SING IN THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN..
I'm glad you mentioned Alanis' yodel, or flip as you call it (chest to head voice). It's one of her signature vocal feats. I adore her voice. It's so unique.
I came across this video and through Beth's coaching analyzations I was able to understand a new side of music I never paid attention to. Very interesting. Thank you! Great job! PS: you obviously got caught by the amazing voice and lost in the it's magnificence XD
I can't possibly understand how brazillian fellow folks haven't mob crowded in this video yet, considering she's reaciting to Alanis on a PT-BR subtitled video. :P
You should have taken the video of Letterman, her TV debut of that single You Oughta Know. That was so intense & full-throttle emotionally charged singing. She was 19 y/o at that time
Perfect video react 👏👏👏 She has a unique voice. There is nothing like it! Alanis's unplugged MTV is timeless and I can't get enough of complimenting the perfect combination of voice, arrangements and ambient acoustics. All perfectly eternalized in this disc unplugged! Please react to "That I Would Be Good" or "Joining You" for this unplugged. thanks😉
Ooh i really like this performance! I like Alanis well enough but have never really explored her live performances and this makes me quite intrigued to delve into her work a bit more.
Vorrei farti alcune domande. 1)Dopo Eb6 si canta in voce di Testa o si passa subito alle Whistle. 2) quando nei teatri cantano La Regina Della Notte F6 è in Whistle o voce di testa? 3) le cantanti (soprano) dell'opera cantano usando le Whistle Notes? 4) Si possono cantare note come E6/F6/G6/B6 in voce di Testa? E nel caso si potessero cantare, come si distinguono dalle Whistle? In inglese I'd like to ask you some questions. 1) After Eb6 you sing in head voice or go immediately to the Whistle. 2) when in the theaters sing The Queen of the Night F6 is in Whistle or head voice? 3) Do the singers (soprano) of the opera sing using the Whistle Notes? 4) Can you sing notes like E6 / F6 / G6 / B6 in Testa voice? And if you could sing, how do they stand out from the Whistle?
Great analysis as always. I would love to see you react to the Belgian choir Scala & Kolacny Brothers. They are most known for their beautiful, elegic covers of english, belgian, french or german songs. They did cover bands like U2, Radiohead, Nirvana, Rammstein, and many many more. Pls check out her cover of The Blowers Daughter. It’s quite a moving piece that shows quite a lot of their strengths. Vocal and dynamic range, touching musical storytelling and they do a great job with harmonies aswell. They did a cover of You Oughta Know too.
You should check out Jinjer Perennial(live Wacken open air 2019), and Who is Gonna Gonna Be the One(live). 😋😁 Also, there's a reason Alanis got to play God in Dogma. 😉😊
LOVED THIS ONE BETH!! can you react to JEWEL? She was also a _huge_ influence on me with her incredibly unique vowels! Would love to hear your comments on her!!
