  • I love this version of this song!!! I used to have the cd!

  • I love this fckn song!!!

  • Sin duda mi canción!!! Lol!XD

  • alanis rules man although im an older dude she can belt it out i appreciate music when it was good

  • Hmm go down on me in the theaters?

  • Comment removed

  • Great performance

  • @aisha2178 I watched this live back in 96, I remember the network bleeping it out

  • did she really just swear on tv?

  • So fucking amazing! Britney & Beyonce should stick to their mainstream pop trash and let Alanis do Alanis. 'Tis all.

  • One of the most honest lyrics i have ever listened to in a song.

  • This performance is so simple and effective. I love how sparse the arrangement is during the verses and then it comes building in during the choruses. Alanis' vocals are gorgeous.

  • As I said before, when your ex-girlfriend sings "but you're still alive!" you're FUCKED.

  • WHOOOOAAAAA! 15 dickheads that don't understand song arranging at all.  What a performance!

  • *Loved*.. Opzz.

  • When Alanis came out with Jagged Little Pill I was instantly a fan. When I saw her sing this at the Grammy's I respected her.

  • @EventHorizon63 This was the bestselling debut albumn of all time, when it was released. The song is brilliant, and performed incredibly well, in a manner few singers could match without failing.

  • WOW

  • goosebumps. i love her i lover her i love her i lover her i love her i love her and i love taylor hawkins

  • The guy who dumped and broke her heart did her a favor. Now Alanis is happily married with a new baby.

  • ITS GOT TO FUCKIN SUCK TO BE THE GUY SHE WROTE THIS TUNE ABOUT. Think about that? Holy shit....WHAT COULD BE WORSE?

  • Love how everything in the 90s(save boybands) was so natural and organic musically.

  • Ive looked this Woman since i was 17yrs old, 33 now and still.. Well Yeah... :)

  • @0Kian0 Same here man...

  • this is a lot better than the recorded version

  • Super idol!!! Miss this video...

  • Wooo.

    Brilliant song.

    Amazing Lyrics.

    Obvious emotion.

    Kickass drummer. Woooo Taylor Hawkins.

    I actually found out about alanis from foo fighters!!

  • omg, ellen . <3

  • this song is so blunt and brutally honest. awesome.

  • When your ex-girlfriend sings "But you're still alive!"  YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN DEEP SHIT.

  • @BettorOffSingle i don't know which line is more menacing, that one or "you seem very well, things look peaceful. i'm not quite as well, i thought you should know."

  • Awesome version, you really get to pay attention to the lyrics in this stripped down version.

  • The best Rockwoman of the 90!

  • so old school!! looove

  • this version was awesome but lol @ that lurch-lookin muhfucka playing the guitar

  • Ah, the mid-90s... the last great time for music.

    I just can't stomach today's "indie rock"... ugh.

  • LOL!!! This song is about Uncle Jesse from "Full House." The Olson Twins must love this one.

  • @Beale64 I think you mean Uncle Joey! Uncle Jesse was played by John Stamos and I don't think he ever dated Alanis

  • @itsmetif Uncle Jesse was on the Dukes Of Hazaard!

  • Haley Reinharts rather

  • Blech, I can hardly bare to listen to this after hearing haley reinvests version

  • This is the only song for which I have "favorited" several versions. Can you believe she is singing LIVE. AWESOME!!!

  • Feliz Cumpleaños mi bonitaa

  • The angry woman song

  • This song and artistr will stand up for a long time...Instant classic

  • This song and perfomer will stand up for a long time...Instant classic

  • What year was this?

  • Maria Shriver theme song

  • oh my god, Ellen!

  • Call me crazy but I think Haley killed it at the end! She realized midway that this song is NOT supposed to be sexy and finally let her inner bitch out. Really liked it

  • I agree that this may have actually been a great song choice, especially if Haley starts with a softer, bluesier begninning, and then kicks into high gear for the finale. I also think she could be great with Janis Joplin's Get it While You Can.

  • I dont know what people are bitching about. I like the way this song sounds and i think Haley will kick ass with it lol Especially this version here. I LOVE IT

  • love the emotion she's showing!

  • Do you guys even watch previous seasons? There have been worse song picks that have come out epic.

  • Best performance ever!!!!!!!!!!! Love this song..

  • Dave Coulier was obviously a borderline pedophile...I always thought he was creepy even before I became aware the he and Alanis hooked up..

  • @rhymeandreasoning Who is Dave Coulier?

  • @ralphyization He is an actor..was on 'Full House'..

  • Does this sound like a jazzy/blue song to u Randy. wtf r u serious. We have to vote 4 Haley on wednesday nonstop, if we want her to stay.

    P.S. I KNOW RANDY DID THIS

  • @2nirvana61 To be fair Haley never stuck to jazz or blues, she's done classic rock, pop music, jazz, country and r&b ish music. shes done everything from Blue from Leann Rimes to Blondie to Janis Joplin, Lady Gaga and Adele. I'm not sure where youre getting that shes strictly a jazz artist. i think Steven chose this song and i think it will fit her perfectly IMO. I think it can be a real moment for her. i would LOVE if she does the beginning acoustic and then kick in the rock during the chorus

  • @melirose89 I wasn't limiting her to one genre, she isn't scotty. At the same time it does not make since for the judges to pick a song like this, since they want her to sing janis joplin type music. I' m a HUGE haley fan like u, don't get me wrong. :)

  • @2nirvana61 yeah I hear ya, I thought the judges told her to stick to Jazz/blues kinda songs, but why did they choose this!? I love this song, but this isn't a "singers" song, all it needs is swagger.

    not to mention that it was covered as hell.

    I dunno.

  • So this is the kind of artist that one of the judges thinks that Haley is?

    Had to be Randy who picked this song. He hates her. But if he didn't, his critique will be - "Dawg, I didn't like the song."

  • i hope Haley could pull this off in a different way...(i'm a bit worried)

  • Did they really let her say fuck at the Grammys?

  • f...this is to dark for Haley...but love Alanis....she has the unique way of singing, it will be hard to pull her right.

  • @seherezada99 There have been darker songs done by contestants before. The show has been around for 10 years. 

  • @coolmanccp20035hf

    I know, I didn't watched it before, I'm not from the states...Don't get me wrong i love the song, I listened to Alanis in elementary school, and yes I went to elementary in 90' ahha. I just don't see Haley singing this, Alanis has this unique way of singing. I hope she'll make a version that will fit her voice. I only watch idol because of Haley an Casey.

  • No Flea? No Song!

    

  • that was no slip w/ the Fbomb!! she killed it!!! shes got some mad attitude in her voice---LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

  • Why does this not have a billion views? It's aewsome! :D

  • Comment removed

  • ha ha... the original....excellent!

  • taylor hawkins on the drums...

  • Esta música é a resposta de um ex-relacionamento (ralacionamento na verdade)!

  • Nice variation on the instruments. Brilliant Job. I love this song.

  • @EdgyXD I agree!

  • I LOVE ANGRY CANADIAN WOMEN! lol

  • HOOOOTTTTTTT!!

  • This is a beautiful song, plain and simple. Alanis rocks!!! I <3 the 90's

  • At first, I didn't really care for You Otto Know. Until she did this performance of it. She really nailed it. A complete surprise.

  • the best song of a really great album ... im still addicted to that jagged little pill

  • @pirgl Agreed. There's not a bad song on that album. I even thoroughly enjoyed "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie"; I think I was one of the three people that did.

  • is she wearing any make up at all? bravo! gosh, its nice to see someone's real face for once.

    oh and to state the obvious, great song

    =]

  • back when the Grammys was worth watching. 

  • I wasn't expecting this at all, I love it. and Nice slipping in the F bomb (:

  • @hessounusual95 I was thinking the same thing. Thought she might switch it to something else, but she didn't. Badass.

  • Perfect.

  • How come people don't perform like this on the Grammy anymore? This is an amazing performance.

  • I never really appreciated this song until this performance...she surprised me so much because I was expecting a wild performance...instead, we get a masterpiece.

  • @Flipboy5

    it truly is so well balanced and just epic!

  • yay! ellen and alanis is one video. :D :D lol

  • beautiful sung.

  • Its not her singing. Its her soul and her inner shadow. We are all very lucky she showed them to us.

  • she was really angry when she sang this

  • @leonafan1999 I'd imagine that's probably true :P

  • In a weird kind of way, she's beautiful when she's singing from 1:44 - 2: 02. You picture her saying this stuff in person to Dave Coulier (who the song is about) and see him get a shudder down his back.

  • Seriously this was better then I had remembered it. If you told me this was a performance from 2010, I would've believed you, except that it happened 14 years ago!

  • @TheStylistGuru Woeps, thank you!

  • Wow I remember watching this live on TV when it first aired. I thought wow, what a nice simple song...UNTIL I HEARD THE REAL VERSION. This was my first introduction to Alanis Morrisette.

  • That's Sue Silvester! Whahaha!

  • at 2:40 , the moment of the song

  • be good boys, enjoy the meaning of this song...the squabble is not between you all..she's talking about my dad's best friend's son, Eric Comtois..this song is ironic

  • shes so amazing!!!!

  • If your ex-girlfriend screams "but you're still alive!" you're kinda fucked.

  • how can you not like this song?

    it speaks to every person who has ever lived through a passionate relationship. which means that 9 people still live in their mothers basement.

  • @BigCM06 Guys who live with their moms can get laid much more easily, becuase they don't waste all their money on rent, or all their time slaving away at work to earn money they don't really need to get laid. Besides, if a guy can get laid, he can go to her place, and if he can't, his own place won't help him.

    Having your own 1br isn't going to really impress a super-hot chick who can get a millionaire anyone. Being close to your mom will.

  • @BettorOffSingle whatever you have to tell yourself buddy....

  • @BigCM06 So sorry, I'm not gay. Go hit on another guy.

    I have nothing against you taking it up the ass btw.

  • @BettorOffSingle wow, you have a lot of pent up aggression.

    you should try moving out of your moms basement.

  • @BigCM06 My mom died in 2007, faggot.

    Despite disapproval from losers like you, I elected to live with her so I could be her primary caregiver before she died.

    May her ghost turn your life into a horror movie.

  • @BettorOffSingle your dead mother doesn't scare me.

    also, chill out with the gay slurs. it makes you sound like a 12 year old.

  • how to get this version as mp3 download?

  • @mylifemusicify . shove your thumb up your ass and press F9 for 30 seconds.

  • I miss those days in music...

  • you gotta love a disgruntled woman

  • I wish they would have released this performance on a CD. I know they've done that with some more recent performances. I know she did a similar version to this on "Unplugged" but it's not quite the same. The orchestra is better in this one, in my opinion. I'd love to have this particular version.

  • @lelukins They did release it. It's on several of her singles. It's on the "You Learn" single.

  • did she really drop an F bomb on live tv?

  • @crazymonkey837 YES!

  • @crazymonkey837 Yep I remember seeing this live and it was an extraordinary performance. I remember being mesmerized by it

  • Alanis is Alanis!

  • SO Calm for the Grammy's... String Section and all... and So Nice that this IS Uncensored... very unusual -- I wonder how they got around the FCC on this one...

    Artistic Freedom for All !! ---

    (search for -- Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know - Uncensored Version)

  • Haha, Ellen looks like Hillary Clinton in that pantsuit. 

  • shes so covered up!..... i wish all whore singers were like her i mean all singers now are half naked

  • I just realized that Alanis got the "F" word off at the Grammys.

  • @nosirrahm She did....without blinking....and it was almost classy.

  • The eight dislikes are Dave Coulier on eight different computers...

  • @10628138 - LOL!!!

  • @10628138 ..Yeah, who would of Thunk. Dave Coulier (Dave) from Full House?? I heard him years ago during an Interview saying "Wow, I guess I really pissed her off". Jee dave,ya think? Jokes on him, she has this Kick-Ass song that will go down in History..What will Dave have?

  • how can she do that at 2:42? that voice is amazing! sha has that crackle that no other female singer has

  • amazing

  • wow!!! that is live that is the best singing live i have ever heard!!!

  • how could 8 people dislike this video?!?!?!?

  • @leonardoachilles they probably just hit the wrong button... or they're dumb.

  • great

  • ellen lookz like lady gaga at the end haha

  • @Mr0121Bullet . your suck, and you know why

  • one of the best versions of this song ever 

  • nothing like the old alanis with her canadian accent! She is so amazing!

  • pure genius.. Big alanis morissette fan.

  • genius

  • alanis morissette is amazing(:

  • ThE bEsT oNe !!I lOvE hEr!!

  • Jagged little pill is one of the best albums ever

  • @Reb4sure1 ...that I agree 100%...she set the bar so high, too soon that we are still waiting for a follow up album that will equal or surpass the success JLP generated.

  • @etrnlygr8tful Im not sure what people are expecting. Her other albums may have lacked the raw energy but they made up in vocal talent and thought provoking. Have you heard Supposed former or Flavors of entanglement?

  • Wow, the musical arrangement for this is amazing, I have shivers....

  • what actually inspired her to write this song....is there any personal story line behind? m just being curious..

  • @dingpuii2802 The other guy believe it or not was Full House's Dave Coulier.

  • What an excellent version!! And she was allowed to say the F word on the Grammy's? Wow..lol

  • Listened to this on American Idol you guys need to really look and listen to the lyrics its about the guy who left her it's almost creep but she is singing very deeply right now she is angry.

  • beyond beautiful. such talent.

    her and ellen. two of my faves.

  • im so feeling this song right now!if i get the chance im gonna sing to my ex with all my heart!oh yeah!

  • This one of the single most greatest things I have ever seen.

  • LOOOOVEEEE this songgggg!!!!

  • HAHA I love Ellen! This is an awesome performance!

  • I remember when she sang this song at the Grammy's and I thought it was so powerful. Many years later ( damn I'm getting old!) it sounds just as good if not better. It gives me chills every time I hear it and no Beyonce's version was definitely not as good as this but she did make people aware of Alanis which is great because she has some amazing music.

  • My theory on this song is that Alanis used to date the lead singer of the Spin Doctors, was the inspiration for "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong," and wrote this in retaliation.

  • @BettorOffSingle zive heard the it was directed at one of the actors on FullHouse. I believe it was the guy who played Uncle Joey

  • hi i like this video

  • SHe looks like one of those women who would stalk the hell out of your azz! A damn fatal attraction! Love this song though!

  • That's why I love that she did this song. At the time she first came out Alanis used to be soo pissed everytime she did this I thought she'd burn the guy's house down after the show.

    Shoot, on one of the live performances on here she downed a 40 right before singing and sung this in a huge ratty t-shirt and jeans in the rain of some outdoor concert...and I was so proud

  • @cla6986 Definitely!

    I mena, when your ex-girlfriend sings "BUT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!" you know you're fucked!

  • @cla6986 LMFAO that's the damn truth!

  • I love this song

  • I love this song !!!

  • I love how she just sings the song and doesn't feel the need to be half naked while dancing around or have all these special effects. She just lets the song speak for itself and sings.

  • Why did she not redo this song with Beyonce this year at the Grammy's I will never know. That would have been fantastic. I love this version and this song.

  • I LOVE THIS F'in SONG!

  • GREAT GREAT GREAT

  • this is like the most BITTER song ever! no one beats alanis when it comes to breakup songs. haha..
