Eight Easy Steps

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

How was she able to fit this all into three minutes?

[M3talD3vilG3ar]

Genial XD

[slychd]

This is a great song and an awesomely unique music video.

[juniorcasemiro]

This video is SO creative, I love it :D

[versionsofbliss]

OMG Alanis lip-sync capacity is amazing!!!!!!

x

[00Victoria00]

girl at 1:52 is alanis??

[VirtualRaconteur]

@00Victoria00 Yep, back in like 1991, video is called "Too Hot." It's on Youtube.

[00Victoria00]

@VirtualRaconteur Thx oh alanis have changed a lot :P she still beautiful tho

[utopiaalex1]

@00Victoria00 yes it's her!! incredible!!

[shack8110]

this! kicks! ass!

[janotosinnumeros]

I think the idea and production of this video are AMAZING

[cell12345]

Oh wow, this whole video was just a bit off, I think they call that the uncanny valley, no?

[andrea111292]

The scene with the baby seems to be taken from the video "Special Cases" by Massive Attack. Look up yourself at 4:20 in the Massive Attack video!

[jjcbss]

omg the baby was a bit overkill wasn't it? Other than that... pretty cool! ha ha ha ha ha

[brkemcc]

"How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself." Love this line lmao

[imlikenit]

@brkemcc you can tell that's probably what she was thinkiing fpor real when she waas actually performing that in the 80's lol

[BlueOrchidMoon77]

@brkemcc Me to! I love this song, that's my favorite line:)

[seby1st]

I love the lyrics... how she tries to put into words how much it costs to be a leader.

[kutbakkarl]

Haven't listened to alanis for years, it's like getting back with your ex for all the right reasons. she rocks!

[LasseChristensenOfDK]

Seeing her back in Denmark in 2006 is most likely the biggest musical experience i've ever had, thanks!

[DubstepFox]

wow the part at the end with the baby is really creepy.

[clearesmiles]

I Love this video.

[AleksejLemburg]

классная мелодия у песни! =) 

[chocokue]

lo adoré.. es genial

[kurtcobaya]

ocho pasos faciles...

[odingreen]

It's funny how Alanis made this video and she was God Herself in Dogma. ( Actually Aimee Mann looks just like God Herself)

[svprodcba]

amazziinggg! jajajaj

[gs7767]

have to agree i think tis is a really cool video

[iHaveMetStupidPeople]

Really clever editing work. They've taken her old music videos and just digitally put her mouth on, lipsyncing the song. Clever.

[iHaveMetStupidPeople]

BEST MUSIC VIDEO EVER.

[JPAnnunziato]

Awesome video



[grubleren99]

We love you Alanis :-)

[CrystalAnn719]

I love love love this song!!! Her voice is amazing, the lyrics are amazing!!!

[Lekunewbie]

Muito muito muito muito bom cara! Demais até me arrepiei Nota mil :-D

[stimpp]

Hello to everyone who likes music that kicks total ass!

[hyperpaws]

Can anyone name all the videos in this video? Or specifically at 1:00 and 1:24?

[Iermac]

@hyperpaws al min. 1:00 dovrebbe essere YOU LEARN mentre a 1:24 è YOU OUGHTA KNOW

[MacdGal94]

@hyperpaws You Learn, Ironic,??????, You Oughta Know :)

[sexualgorgeous]

LMAO @ the baby singing and knowing the lyrics by heart

[yaoi0lover]

I like the idea of the video, and I think if they redid it, it would be better in some places... I don't like that I can tell the lips are weird

[Thebritbrit38sback]

awesome!

[raisedbyacupofcoffee]

Fantastic video!

[NoIdeaWhyISmile]

wow i Love how there are mostly things from her old videos. O.o

[strass06]

God I love you Alanis

[ivanechristina]

Fucking love this video and song!!!

[VampGirlxXx1]

I hate what they did with her lips!

[jesusthroughmary]

2:24 You Can't Do That on Television ftw

[SouporPhailSistors]

Does anyone think that the "Eight Easy Steps" she's talking about is basically what she did for the video? Basically taking life and putting in what YOU want and not what really was there...?

[barkpeeler2000]

she looks exactly like my sister

[belovedinfinity]

@barkpeeler2000

In that case your sister must be beautiful. :) I hope she knows it and isn't one of the millions of girls who has a messed up self image.

[funmacsta]

It's going back through time lol so aweseome

[clatelynn]

never knew that asian and rock beayt coulsd got together

[clatelynn]

@clatelynn cooooool she has clips from ironic and you oughta know on this!!!!

[Berbeln]

What better than as an artist put so many years in one video! I love it even if the lips look a bit weird. And the baby... that's just humour!

[Macd140319860]

not stop

[missclownfish]

GAWD!!! I honestly can not love Alanis anymore than I did in the 90's and I will always feel love for this women. She is just so lyrically and musically talented. No female has come close...:D

[umadoshikakko]

"Hmm. I like Nine Inch Nails more.

For when I'm in a "grrr fuck everything" mood."

[invalidcookie]

GREEN SLIME!!! "I DON'T KNOW!!!"

[KillerNanny]

She looks beautiful in Ironic!

[gunjacked]

<3 2:05

[ywsdttm]

Her lyrics are brilliant! I refer to this song often, lol.

[MrsJonesSturgis]

She's one of the greatet. Period.

[jpgrgirl1234]

omg is tht matt leblanc at 1:41 ???

[TheRestlessMinds]

Cool song, makes me want to compose a harmonic minor song to.

[rodrigomusik]

incredible!!

Dubbing her mouth to sing the song in many different times of her life!!

GREAT!

[albertj7]

it was a good concept but executed horribly. her face looks jaw area looks completely fake through most of the video. and then when the baby started singing, it completely jumped the shark into ridiculous territory.

[Rssbandchapa]

@albertj7 because you could do better, smartass?

[nathangela1]

practicing, all my life Lord.

[andrea111292]

I haven't listened much of Alanis but this is surely the best song I've heard from her and it is really a great song! It surprised me. Love the particular video too, the lip syncing effect is interesting.

[leojosu1994]

Un recorrido de su vida musical, muy arriesgado en hacerlo y a la vez fascinante!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[emilg89]

This video is SOOOO weird, it's amazing! hahahahaha!

[Krs21705]

holy crap. that was the best music video ever made.

[coursestudent]

The best part is, "How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself." I think all people who grow up in show business learn that one. I sure did. lol 

[bushwhacked59]

I love this song! I wish they would play this one on the radio like her other hits

[roelvantoorn]

The video is genius...

[karmacop911]

lol... chilling ... til the baby scene XD

[JamesOhGoodie]

Okay, dude, the digital effect on the lips is CREEPY. No!  Just...no!

[TheKickasskatie]

@JamesOhGoodie i hear ya!

[SchizophobicBand]

2:42 - lol

[sweetsista69]

awsome vid 

[wyxcream]

wow this video freaked me out..how is this possible??how did they do it?? I am amazed!!

[PlushieLenny]

OMG was this specially edited or are these actuall clips? If so its so clever! Alanis is amazing!

[fgouveia1988]

What a great video. She's always reinventing herself.

[ganglio88]

best video ever!:)

[bbsmommy1st]

In-freakin-credible CGI!!!

[TheOneManu4U]

me encanta este video lo maximo alanis

[HouseBoyProductions]

LOVE IT!!!!!

[barkpeeler2000]

alrighty what exactly is that whispering in the very beginning?

[PieratePenguin]

@barkpeeler2000 It's Alanis, and I'm hearing "let's get (it)"... and then something I have no idea what is lol.. :S If anyone knows, I'd love to know too..!

[jibikao]

This song has a very catchy melody. It reflects in today's society.. people are so obssessed with "Easy Steps".. "3 Steps to lose weight', "4 steps to achieve financial freedom"... it's almost like we are obssessed to "know how" to get there with someone else's "easy steps"... awesome!

[gavinspalding]

THANKIES for adding the real video :) love this song !!!!!!! she's an amazing lady :)

[40eclipse]

sacré petit lot canadien,Tabernacle!

[modoze17]

looks a bit creepy but interesting

[unprophesy]

i love alanis morissette!!!!!

[maryzhol1]

AWESOME!!!

[phpcs2]

OMG! It's perfect! A clip made of clips!

[SlowBrakes]

the video is just genius

[Brunehault]

One of her best songs...

[alezinh0w]

perfect

[a1anismori5sette]

Don't ask Alanis about Marilyn Manson.

[alanistamo]

i think you have an obsesion with Alanis

[omgimbleeding]

some gnarly hair styles there.....haha but i love this song.... and for some reason i really like the part "how to keep smiling while thinking of killing yourself.." haha :)

[8NatsuMatsuri8]

@omgimbleeding YEA haha me too!

[purpleskyl]

@omgimbleeding omg mee 2 thought it was weird to keep replaying that part

[b1wdancer23]

I think this is so cool how it's all her videos combined and it looks like shes singing the song.

[Joaokimuralegiao]

I think this song is very pop..but very rock too..O.o..well i just love =D!

[umadoshikakko]

The smile off your face.

[Charmedone9805]

lol @ 1 40 you can soo tell they redid her face in that one lol but i love it this is my fav video ever i love how she go's back in time even showing her old videos from alanis and now is the time

[Ambersparkle]

LOL

[simsInnovation]

She's a bit weird in the sigle "Hand in my pocket", but the music is great.

[umadoshikakko]

So Alanis, who's the best? and you have not said his name.

[timeoffire450]

ha! nice!

altho the baby at 2:41 was creepy >.>

still, this is, without a doubt, my third favorite song by alanis. My #1 would be Knees of My Bees (i think it's awesomely poetic), and my #2 is Citizen of the Planet (for the same reason)... this one comes in at a close #3 because of the real-life issues it deals with as well as the fact that it's just an awesomely put-together song in general! :-)

Also, seeing Alanis sing this live is something I will never, ever forget ^.^

[Vegall1992]

i am so jealous of you Timeoffire

[ChildrenOfTime]

Omg, this is damn creepy... It's a cool concept blending her previous videos into this song, but seeing her mouth plastered on her face in other videos is just really... creepy.

[SirCorgi]

It is rather creepy.

They didn't do so well for the video "Ironic." You can tell the lips don't match the words. I don't even think they tried with that one.

And what about her video for "Walk Away"?

Who is doing the "lipover" for Matt LeBlanc?

[judystrailor]

1:42! Joey from Friends!

[alanisThis4U]

Brilliant video, alanis love you lots, u are a Goodness in earth to me. xxx

[landraverxxx]

outstanding!!!!!!! the best video and track alanis has ever done love ya loads

[pixiekeen]

best video i have ever seen

[nichgt]

I remember the first time i saw this and noticed that it was clips form all of her old video's and thinking "How the hell do they do that?!?!?!"

[acdc126]

good work on that video except for the baby its really weird and freaky. awesome beautiful and talented Alanis you win my heart :)

you won our love by your work.

[zosiaczek8]

Alanis forever

[LittleGreen88]

This is my favorite Alanis video. That's a hard one to say. The creativity that goes into making her videos always astounds me. Thanks.

[hillbillyprofane]

Hmm, I wonder why Alisdair Gillis' face is blurred in this version?

[hillbillyprofane]

Oh, and in the clip of baby Alanis trying to walk, could that be Chad Morissette in the background? I don't recall ever seeing a picture of him anywhere.

[ERiiKAPOO]

Wheres the clip at 2:06 From??

She looks adorable.

[SpecialistBR]

I dont know from where it is, but it is amazing how her dancing rythym plugs into the music beat. The first time I saw it, I was "WTF?!"

[mattrideout]

Alanis needs to do more rock

[cookiemontaz]

I love this clip. One of my favourites.

[singingmysong20]

Awesome song... awesome video

[ohwir89]

wuau .. that great video .. and good song :p

[SuperFuturama]

Wow, great video!

[kiannaluv21]

LOVE IT!!

[KConny]

The intro sounds like Serj Tankian.

[Caoozo]

w000t

[sageharris]

I Think I Saw Matt LeBlanc...

[gundamredframe]

Yeah, that toad makes a appearance.

[debfan74]

Yes U did...that is part of her early videos from her canadian pop days. This video shows her from that particular time all the way back to her earlier years as a pop star in canada

[ottogaprolyat]

It makes me want to listen to her music more

[morenitabrown]

Thank You, i really like this song!

[TakatofanAgain]

This video is under-rated. Seriously, it couldent have been easy to dub her mouth to sing the song! I think it was awesome!

[barkbarkwoof1]

cI think they might have refilmed her mouth and used cgi to superimpose it.

[invalidcookie]

@TakatofanAgain part of it was dubbing, part of it was superimposinging. you can tell watch her mouth in some of the sences.

[missclownfish]

@TakatofanAgain I know...nicely done.

[defD619]

im in love with you alanis!

[0504veronika]

I don't like this video at all

[fwd2death64]

omg i love her with short hair

[rockchick015]

me too, awesum!!! so hottt lol

[Akyomi]

For some reason when she has short hair I'm reminded of Alyssa Milano.

But me, too. She's cute with short hair.

[GUINEAMERIO]

its so awesome what they did with the lips!! Very cool video

[YourxCrystalMeth]

pfft Alanis is amazing in every album :))

[Aidskins]

My ONLY Favourite song of her's Post-Jagged Little Pill. Everything after jagged little pill just sux otherwise!!

[SasquatchTurtleneck]

I disagree; I think that all of her music is amazing...she has such a beautiful voice, and she can really write her songs well.

By the way, what do you even mean by that? I don't mean to be rude, but "post" means "after," so you're saying that everything after Jagged Little Pill is simultaneously great and awful...am I misunderstanding something?

[gundamredframe]

How many of you "kids" out there know the name of the 1980's kid show Alanis was on?

[ScaryMints]

You can't do that on television!!!

[gundamredframe]

CORRECT! Your prize...you get to watch more Alanis.

[ScaryMints]

Yay!

lol

[Kaddl10FCN]

Amazing, how I love Alanis, she ist the best and most fascinating singer.

Jesus, is she the little baby with the huge bally *laugh* cute...

LOVE HER

[spiritregan]

yeah this is fucking awsome makes me wanna dance

[kazhool]

i know what you mean!!!

that's what i just got thru doing... :D

[hollywoodgogo]

Crazy video... I love it.

[laikalynx]

Yikes, the song is a little weird. Cool video though. Can't wait for her new album.

[nonmonster]

Can't wait to hear the new album in april 2008

[minoglie]

That was so amazing...HAHAHAHA

[ptparatroopa]

I love the concept of this video but the execution was just so poor. The lip editing looks like it was done by a four year old in a lot of the scenes... though the part where she sings "How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself" as a teenager still cracks me up.

[gundamredframe]

You can't say that on television! It's nice she added that tv clip. For those of you who don't know Alanis was on a kids show in the early 80's that aired in Canada and in the US on Nick before they became all wimpy.

[failkhoo]

GREATEST.....VIDEO.....EVER!!!­!

[CrayolaaWonderr]

I just don't understnad how they change all of the videos to have her sing this song, lol, technogly confusies me.

[eilujjulie]

exactly! im amazed!
