I agree bethany2781 I wish I had a time machine to travel back to th 90s Lets bring it back with one babydoll dress at a time lol. This cd was on constant repeat my Freshman year of college. Love it!
I love Alana's voice! I have this entire album, as well as the follow up, "Fortune Cookies". Shew is very underrated for her genre of music. I was so excited to hear her in the AT&T commercial singing "I am Free" a few years ago. What a beautiful and talented lady.
@23broad But even this, her only hit, was a cover. Her talent did not lie in mainstream music you are right. But I would not blame the industry that she did not have the material to appeal to the masses.
Ani Difranco wrote the song, but Alana Davis put it on the map i.e. got the air play. It doesn't take away from Ani's original, it's just a different interpretation. Ani would have had to give her permission to use the song, so I'm going to assume that deal was made. For those with all the hostility and negativity about this...I think you're missing the point. Artist's work with each other all the time...and share music...that's what happened here! I like Alana's best! To each his/her own!
P.s. Alana and Ani are friends, she didn't just snake the song from her... both versions are awesome and as different as the amazing artists singing them.
@getreelbereel88 You need to do your research. Ani and her manager THANKED ALANA FOR RELEASING THIS...and ALANA did not take ANY of the credit, not even for the parts she rewrote.
@23broad hey im juz sayin wat i think .no need jump bad ! congrats to her i juz dont like it it dosent capture the full meanig of the songs words to me.
@potatohead01 hey whoa wen fuck did you get convo!! i said everyone is open to there own comments ok a whole lotta ppl like ain difranco better and say this one sucks so go batter them ok!
Love, love, love this song! Beautiful singer! I have the Blame It On Me album and love the rest of the songs on it. Maybe she was Joss Stone's inspiration.
@SparkMyWorld Truth can be an enigma, because in many cases there really is none. Take religious beliefs for example. One person's truth can be another person's lie.
I remember seeing Alana on the Rosie Odonnell show and she was so awesome. I said to myself, I need to go out and buy that CD. I loved it....the song CRAZY ,is just one of my all time favorite songs of all time. I lost track of her after her second CD but with all the crap out there today, I think I need to go find her again....
There are few women who can be attractive solely through their voices (not saying their other attributes aren't)....Martina Topley Birdy, Alicia Keyes, Stacy Epps and Alana Davis are absolute sirens imho.
@ShowStoppa2007 I respectfully disagree. Love Ani, but this is a more soulful version that sounds sooo much richer and lovely voice to match. DiFranco's is like hospital food (on this song) Alana's like the "seasoning" on it :)
@MusicGirl3181 You gotta be kidding LOL!! She made people "notice' the song! Her voice is rich and deep, more soulful, and musical arrangements. Ani herself said she liked Alana's version better!!!
this is one of my faaavorite songs of all time. I remember being about 8 years old and my cousin and I would put this CD in and play this song oooover and oooover. singing in brushes as if they were microphones lol good times
It's interesting how she becomes two facets of the same person engaged in a dialogue beginning at the part where it says "God help you if you are an ugly girl...." I think it gives the song an extra layer of meaning separate from DiFranco's version. In this way -- and the way she plays around with the chorus a little -- Davis makes it her own. Nice job.
This version is so modern and has a fresh take on the classic..this was the first version I heard.. I later listenedto the original and those others and this version just sticks with me
I wasn't expecting to like it either, as a die hard Ani fan, but Alana really took her own take on it and kinda made it a little bit her own. Me likey :)
I am 32 flavors and then some.. I love this song.. and feel it is very uplifting as well.. I heard it on 99X in Atlanta today.. and to brought back so many fond memories of my youth... Thanks for posting.... It is one of my old, new favorites..
but she skipped my favorite verse... "Both my parents taught me about good will and I have done well by their names. Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers is more than I can explain. Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights just so I would think they're not home... and hid in the dark of their windows, 'til I passed and left them alone."
This version of 32 Flavors is like Jimmy Hendrix covering Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. Both versions are great but with different interpretations. Hey, at least it wasn't a bullshit sample of the song repeated over and over again to some bullshit beat....
@cochranexyz amen to that--I love a well done cover where the artist takes it and makes it their own--Davis does it here and beautifully...I think it is a tribute to the artist who wrote it--a love letter...
Screw Alana. We went to see her here in Detroit at a free concert and she left the stage, pissed off after one song. We never found out what her problem was. Lovely voice, but I'll never go see her again.
@TheAlice1865 I'm sorry, but Alana sounds more generic. Ani has a special tone, and she can pull off that special tone while adding amazing riffs and runs with her vocals WHILE playing the most difficult guitar you will ever hear.
For me she hasn't gotten the point of the song by leaving several verses out. She has left out most of Ani's awesome poetry, so all she is really singing is 32 flavors again and again. She needs to add more of the original song, and I don't think the music is good either.
in fact that is EXACTLY what they are NOT about and in fact that is kind of the point of BOTH the songs...so it is pretty much pointLESS for you people to get all up in arms about which one you like best.
Alana changed up a few partssubtle changes in themselves but in the end they make it a song of it's own some parts of it are completely original and anyway it as a whole is really a different song..but kind of a sister song, a relative, if you willshe adds something very original and special of her ownani and alana are really not about that kind of competition in art or that kind of hate and dissonence..
hey it's not a competition...this song is basically an ode to ani's original masterpiece 32 flavors and ani in general...it's a complement in the highest sense, not a diss..but they are both 2 of the most beautiful songs in the world...alana adds something very original of her own ..it is not just a cover, while a good chunk of it is definitely taken directly from ani's 32 flavors which she penned herself music and lyrics
1) She guts the song of it's power by removing lyrics and reordering them.
2) That being said, it's great that Ani let her cover the song AND supported her version and she does this version well, even though it lacks the power of the original.
I was 15 and on my way back from boarding school on a plane to Charlotte NC and I sat up front with Alana and her band. She said she was on her way to or on her way back from Lilith Fair(97) I think). She was so nice to me telling me all about her band. She didnt have to take the time to talk to me but she did. Im now 27 and love her music. What a cool chick.
So, you're asserting to the rest of the world that you are this woman's former lover and subsequently, you've decided to devulge the fact she squirts as nothing more than a sidenote on a Youtube posting....

"Love" hardly describes our brief encounter. It was sex, pure and unadulterated by such flimsy appelation. But it was good.
Do I sense the irritating drone of righteous indignation in your words? Are you trying to 'guilt' me into feeling regret at what I posted? Not going to work, I'm afraid.

You sound like my agent. Before the deal with Random House. And the $675,000 dollar advance on my first novel. A paltry sum, to be sure. We're gonna negotiate for 1.5 million on the sequel.
Now, I could be snide and respond to you with insults that would have your ancestors weeping in their rot, but I won't. What would be the point? Instead, I will climb into my new '10 Challenger, hit the mall, and see if my Zegna jacket is ready.

LOL!
You obtuse bit of flotsam! That wasn't the point, though I'm not surprised you missed it. YOU said that I had "no unique skill or value". My response was merely pointing out a successful career built "on unique skill and value". Ergo, your arguement is inherently flawed.
But, your anger has a more primal locus, doesn't it? It must really bother you that I've been inside a woman you obviously have a disturbing fixation on.
That sucks. She does TOO, BTW. Doesn't swallow, though.....
Why do you argue with so many people on You Tube? Really, if he says he had sex with her what business is it of yours? Alot of people had sex, hell even your parents! Nine months later, you came out of that horses ass and now you're trying to act holier than thou. It's okay if you've never had sex before, or at least know the joys of 2nd base. Apparently, you're better than this guy because you're still a virgin right?

Fucking this chick was one of the highlights of my young life. Jesus Christ she smokes a LOT of weed, though! All that hanging out with Jamacian singers and shit, I guess. It was good, can't lie.
you know u are definitely an asshole to post some shit like that.....not cool dude...she is a personal friend of mine and i don't think it's cool for u to post your personal business on the net....
So what? I don't remember asking you what you think, bitch! You sound like you're speaking out of jealousy. Either way, you're speaking out of turn. Regardless, it's a dead issue---she's got a kid now. Plus, Sareenah's WAY hotter.
I agree! Kudos to Ani for crafting a perfect song, but the performance and production value on this cut are better than the other versions I've heard.
I've always enjoyed both versions for their differences. Musicwise, it's a pretty nice break, particularly with that half chorus "taking my chances as they come/searching for truth and there is none".
Although does anyone else think the video's concept was done much better in Eagle-Eye Cherry's "Save Tonight"?
She sounds amazing but the video is not. Better then original from Ani.

Yeah, Alana is really talented..... And squirts a little bit. Not much, but enough to let you know---you know, that she liked it.

Female ejaculation. Her cooch squirts when she cums. It's kinda sexy. I wonder if her sister Sareenah does, too. That's who I wanna bone now.

So, you're asserting to the rest of the world that you are this woman's former lover and subsequently, you've decided to devulge the fact she squirts as nothing more than a sidenote on a Youtube posting....
Did I get that correct?

"Love" hardly describes our brief encounter. It was sex, pure and unadulterated by such flimsy appelation. But it was good.
Do I sense the irritating drone of righteous indignation in your words? Are you trying to 'guilt' me into feeling regret at what I posted? Not going to work, I'm afraid.

yeah...I think I did.

You sound like my agent. Before the deal with Random House. And the $675,000 dollar advance on my first novel. A paltry sum, to be sure. We're gonna negotiate for 1.5 million on the sequel.
Now, I could be snide and respond to you with insults that would have your ancestors weeping in their rot, but I won't. What would be the point? Instead, I will climb into my new '10 Challenger, hit the mall, and see if my Zegna jacket is ready.

LOL!
You obtuse bit of flotsam! That wasn't the point, though I'm not surprised you missed it. YOU said that I had "no unique skill or value". My response was merely pointing out a successful career built "on unique skill and value". Ergo, your arguement is inherently flawed.
But, your anger has a more primal locus, doesn't it? It must really bother you that I've been inside a woman you obviously have a disturbing fixation on.
That sucks. She does TOO, BTW. Doesn't swallow, though.....

Why do you argue with so many people on You Tube? Really, if he says he had sex with her what business is it of yours? Alot of people had sex, hell even your parents! Nine months later, you came out of that horses ass and now you're trying to act holier than thou. It's okay if you've never had sex before, or at least know the joys of 2nd base. Apparently, you're better than this guy because you're still a virgin right?

Fucking this chick was one of the highlights of my young life. Jesus Christ she smokes a LOT of weed, though! All that hanging out with Jamacian singers and shit, I guess. It was good, can't lie.

So what? I don't remember asking you what you think, bitch! You sound like you're speaking out of jealousy. Either way, you're speaking out of turn. Regardless, it's a dead issue---she's got a kid now. Plus, Sareenah's WAY hotter.

I've always enjoyed both versions for their differences. Musicwise, it's a pretty nice break, particularly with that half chorus "taking my chances as they come/searching for truth and there is none".
Although does anyone else think the video's concept was done much better in Eagle-Eye Cherry's "Save Tonight"?
