I think Alanis always wanted to be traditionally "hot" but she's not.....which served her well in the backlash "reinvention" of Jagged Little Pill where she's, like, so alternative and droll; which was about as fabricated as this ridiculous song. Sorry Alanis, Canadians are harsh on their own :) You made it -- so who cares!!
Well, at the time when this piece hit the Charts I thought, dam, what a singer! But then she started making strange songs... weird songs... very bizzare songs... and when she hooked up with madona, I knew right then and there she would tumble down. I thought what a waste of talent and potential. That was (back then) how I learned to lower my expectations as per the "music" that was to come in the future.
@cygil1 As a "singer", yes, this piece allowed her to express her talent (as a singer). Now she's gone, she made tons of gold and that's all what she wanted (the "american way"). She made her own choice and that's fine.
omg I remember this song!! I remember when she came out in the pop genre first...when i saw her do alternative music for the first time after this i just knew she was going to hit rock stardom! Not a bad song but just imagine if she would have continued on this path...she would have been a nobody and music would not be what it is today...she changed music because everyone after her started cracking their voices and what not..also alternative became mainstream
holy nut balls! O_O alanis???? WOW and I thought she was a total hippy all the way......lol this is ok tho..lol people morph into different personalities all the time...lol
I used to like these songs because they were the OST for Corey Haim's movie Just One of The Girls, I didn't even know this was her! OMG, I wish she had kept this attitude, I mean, her post Jagged Little Pill stuff was good but this music was much more fun to listen to, Dave Coullier must have really destroyed her for her to turn her music into utter despair.
this wa sthe shit back then a hottie from canada who did pop justice and for that time was great to get pumped up and dance ...pre jagged this wasepic wish she never went to alt angry bitch bullshit dont get me wrong i like songs off jagged but nothing compares before lagy gaga and britney it was alanis!
I Think Alanis should guest star on How I Met Your Mother as Robin's musical competition during the Robin Sparkles era, Kinda like the Debbie Gibson / Tiffany era in the 80s
Back in the day I used to like shit like this and Paula Abdul...by shit I don't mean it sucked though, it *is* pretty catchy, honestly. Kinda weird for me I guess, but hell, I appreciate all Alanis's stuff, from then to now. It does crack me up as to how corny stuff was in the early 90's though. Compared to todays crap though, this is actually pretty good, I mean she at least always was a good vocalist. You go, Alanis!
She did a current take on this song, and it was horrible. Morbid crappy, low tempo. This is a fun up-tempo tune. I admire her, but sometimes I thing she takes this dark, morbid shit to far. If your not going to do it the right way leave it alone.
I don't like how she sings now I like her more better here in this video.I like the old Alanis better.She was AMAZING back in the 80's/90's.Only song I like of hers is Ironic.But anything else I don't like.She was way more better in this video.I don't know why she changed.
@SexyAngel79 To be true to herself and not the pop world? If you like dance music better kudos- But how you could lyrically, vocally or musically hold this simple dance track over a still simple but way more enlightened and lyrically charged song like u learn is beyond me. But to each their own of course. :)
@SexyAngel79 However if you're issue is that she isn't upbeat-you said you don't like her new music and then went on to refer to a track off of jagged little pill (which was 16 yrs ago.) Have you heard Giggling again for no reason? I have a feeling that may be more up your alley-she put that out in 2008.
Wow! The first person that I thought of immediately, when I saw this, was Paula Abdul. It's definitely the big hair and dance moves. However, I find this song very catchy and upbeat. I never would have thought of her as a pop starlet such as this, but she was equally good at singing this type of music as well. She is quite talented.
Ok how did this song NOT become super famous when she released it? I think this song could have potentially put her up there with Paula Abdul. It reminds me of "Straight Up" with a touch of "Opposites Attract" but with more attitude than both songs :)..
Alanis performed this for us Toronto fans a concert a few years back. She made a joke of it, but it sounded good. Don't be ashamed Alanis, you were 17 and brilliant!
From the standpoint of a US citizen living in the 21st century who's unfamiliar to pre-JLP Canadian Alanis, this comes off almost like a parody song. Right??? They really crammed almost every cliche from late 80s - early 90s pop into song & video (ie Paula Abdul / Janet Jackson / Kylie Minogue). Alanis' voice sounds great on this song actually. It's total pop fluff, but as someone who enjoys that, it's not necessarily a bad thing. :)
This song was huge here in Canada. When she came out with Jagged Little Pill Canadians at first were 'You mean the "Too Hot" chick?" Lol. This has a great chorus.
Wow , this cookie-cutter BS music which gave Paula Adbul a run for her money, but a younger,hotter girl, she nevere really connec ted untilm5 years later
some parts of this song remind me of Straight Up by Paula Abdul, not so much the song itself but the samples they used. Listen to the guitar slide thing at 3:08
@SpiceyGrooves I never thought of that LOL...u r right...this would make a great mashup with Straight Up....also if u listen to other songs on the early albums u will hear other similar things...like on Feel Your Love they say funky down, just as salt n pepa did with Shake Your Thing
@dallama182 Why would you think that? Because as a girl and young woman Alanis parents pushed her into the industry and when she could she got out forged into the artist she is today. I always say when people suggest this that had that been the case...that she put on an act to make money- then why didn't she continue in that vein? after jagged little pill she peaced out and pretty much stayed that way, She grew up and her music grew with her despite sells or fame.
@yancybutler Surely if it wasn't an act then her follow up work would have had the same style and not been mellowed out? My research shows that Alanis didn't write Jagged Little Pill by herself, she wrote it with top hit maker Glen Ballard.
It seems suspicious that after her successful album, which she wrote with someone else, that she kinda changes her style when doing her own work. Yet you seem to disagree with the idea that it could have all been an act to make money?
@dallama182 Glen ballard co-wrote the music but had nothing to do with the Lyrics of Jagged little pill. The Lyrics For are the key point of that album and everything follow though the music mellowed out (Alanis at times even producing her own albums.) Her follow up also had ballard as co-writer-this is when her peace vibe transition started. That has stuck with her but again her music changes with her growth. Have you even heard anything by her in the last five years? Artist evolve.
@dallama182 I would agree had the change been appealing to the masses and it wasn't the change was in favor of deeper more complex lyrics. Obviously you have you're opinion...I'm just not seeing it your way. Alanis wasn't like Britney spears or the other sex uped pop tarts and wasn't a media whore so I'm not sure what your issue really would be with her.
@yancybutler Personally, I would say that Jagged Little Pill perfectly appealed to the huge alternative/grunge scene in the States at the time of its release. And obviously it did, or it wouldn't have been so successful. I would say she was the Post-Cobain Britney Spears for the girls of that generation.
The only issue I have is with the obvious change in style of music in videos like this to the work on JLP - it just doesn't seem genuine. Maybe I don't know the whole story, I dunno.
@dallama182 And I can totally see what you mean there. I'm 26 and I know what was big and in during those times. The Reason I think it was genuine is that her lyrics have stayed on the deeper end of the spectrum as opposed to most simple pop-despite the fact that it hurts sales (pseudo intellectual music doesn't really do well amongst the unthinking masses.). Alanis could have continued being angry which is what made her big. After that no one cared and she didn't seem to care about that.
@dallama182 I think the issue here is that you're strictly looking at this and her Jagged Little pill work despite her 15 Years of work after Jagged little pill. If you haven't heard Alanis in a while check out her newer work (Not as We, Tapes, The Guy who Leaves,Underneath, Orchid) or even an interview. She does address her pre pill work and doesn't try to hide it.
@dallama182 Why would you think that? Because as a girl and young woman Alanis parents pushed her into the industry and when she could she got out forged into the artist she is today. I always say when people suggest this that had that been the case...that she put on an act to make money- then why didn't she continue in that vein? after jagged little pill she peaced out and pretty much stayed that way, She grew up and her music grew with her despite sells or fame.
@ djaps really? She was 17. Don't you cringe at how *you* were at 17? Oh wait, you probably *are* 17. So, the you you are today will someday make you cringe. Fun thought, eh? And yes, I'm obsessed with my kitten.
Dear, Lord. Alanis was once a Paula Abdul / Janet Jackson wannabe? No wonder she's refused to allow any of her teen pop albums to be re-released. To quote her directly, "You live, you learn".
Dave Collier from Full House is what happened. After he left her for another woman she dropped the Teeny-Bopper thing and released an album full of songs aimed at him (Jagged Little Pill)
I love how all the haters on here are like "So glad she left this genre", however, this shit comes on at a wedding or something, ya'll will be out on the dance floor moving your asses to it and having a blast.
i grew up listening to Alanis but not this music i was introduced to her with her jagged little pill album my mom loves her .... but this is really weird to see her singing pop lol
@wanderlust2008 There was this horrible store in all the malls called "Randy River" and I actually bought a stoned-washed outfit (jeans pants and jeans jacket) there... Hip-hop Alanis... isn't THAT ironic? :-)
@wanderlust2008 I don't think so! The ONLY thing Canada has been behind the "Nited states 'Merca" in, is economic collapse.... I think we ( CANADA) should raise the price of OUR oil ( yes 60% of your oil is purchased from CANADA) to $400.00 a barrell .... then MAYBE you will look at your past and learn NOT to disreguard it... `why is your Whit house where it is?
Take a look at the video by Marky Marky doing the video "good vibrations" male version of this, just worse choreography, a lady who sings very well, marky wahlberg showing off his pecks and getting laid for the first time in his 20's.
@wanderlust2008- NOT TRUE AT ALL! Canada isn't like the midwest you know. Canada went through the same style phases at the same time as America and Europe.. I have all the pictures to prove it and we all had MTV, I remember all the changes from 80s to 90s.. you should know the early part of a decade is quite similar to the late part of the last, like how the early 80s was similar to the late 70s.. remember Roxette-Joyride(1991) good example.. plus, the fashion is this video looks early 90s
@weirdscience85 you are right, a prominent fashion editor once said that a decade didn't become identifiable by style and design until midway through the decade, And if you look at it, conventional wisdom hold's true...the 60's identifiable as Hippie and Woodstock, that was 69', 70's with disco and Studio 54, that was the late 70's as well...the 80's didn't officially end until 1993 when Marc Jacobs while at Perry Ellis put 'grunge' and waifs on the runway...good point you made.
I remember her on 'You Can't Do That on Television' ('Alistair, why are you ripping up the carpet?') Most people who grew up in Canadump remember Alanis' 'hip-hop' phase, and EVERYONE knows about her second singing career....
@prestonhyysteria Right, I'm sure Alanis was dying to make 'deep' folksy music in 90-91 when nobody was into it. Truth is she went with the trends. My only problem with it is that she tried to hide from these two albums because she knew it would hurt her Alternative Rock sales if people (Americans) knew she started as a Paula Abdul wanna-be. But she probably had no choice since most Alt Rock fans are/were anal like that.
Who would've thought that Alanis would sooner or later, after recording this song, that she would go from being a Canadian Dance-Pop version of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany to being an angry version of Sarah McLachlan in Alternative Rock Music that would change history for many female (or male) Singer/Songwriters with anger issues within themselves that they want to release through their mind, body, and soul. thank You, Alanis. Thank You for being influential and for Us not being full of silence :)
OMG... dis is 1st time i saw her in dance pop..looked like mariah wannabe wit all those revealing clothes and mekap..... thanks gud she moved to JLP....
My main memory of this song is dancing in my driveway at night, and my best friend at the time fell and broke her foot. LOL We loved the song, and I still kinda like it. Hilarious.
A big part of the 80's was the induction of music video. This song was pumped, she was hot, it served her well. I used to love listening to this.

Dear, Lord. Alanis was once a Paula Abdul / Janet Jackson wannabe? No wonder she's refused to allow any of her teen pop albums to be re-released. To quote her directly, "You live, you learn".

I got snapped up in the same contract as Alanis by the same record company.

@wanderlust2008 There was this horrible store in all the malls called "Randy River" and I actually bought a stoned-washed outfit (jeans pants and jeans jacket) there... Hip-hop Alanis... isn't THAT ironic? :-)

@wanderlust2008 I don't think so! The ONLY thing Canada has been behind the "Nited states 'Merca" in, is economic collapse.... I think we ( CANADA) should raise the price of OUR oil ( yes 60% of your oil is purchased from CANADA) to $400.00 a barrell .... then MAYBE you will look at your past and learn NOT to disreguard it... `why is your Whit house where it is?

@wanderlust2008- NOT TRUE AT ALL! Canada isn't like the midwest you know. Canada went through the same style phases at the same time as America and Europe.. I have all the pictures to prove it and we all had MTV, I remember all the changes from 80s to 90s.. you should know the early part of a decade is quite similar to the late part of the last, like how the early 80s was similar to the late 70s.. remember Roxette-Joyride(1991) good example.. plus, the fashion is this video looks early 90s
weirdscience85 7 months ago
@weirdscience85 you are right, a prominent fashion editor once said that a decade didn't become identifiable by style and design until midway through the decade, And if you look at it, conventional wisdom hold's true...the 60's identifiable as Hippie and Woodstock, that was 69', 70's with disco and Studio 54, that was the late 70's as well...the 80's didn't officially end until 1993 when Marc Jacobs while at Perry Ellis put 'grunge' and waifs on the runway...good point you made.

prestonhyysteria 1 year ago
@prestonhyysteria Right, I'm sure Alanis was dying to make 'deep' folksy music in 90-91 when nobody was into it. Truth is she went with the trends. My only problem with it is that she tried to hide from these two albums because she knew it would hurt her Alternative Rock sales if people (Americans) knew she started as a Paula Abdul wanna-be. But she probably had no choice since most Alt Rock fans are/were anal like that.

Who would've thought that Alanis would sooner or later, after recording this song, that she would go from being a Canadian Dance-Pop version of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany to being an angry version of Sarah McLachlan in Alternative Rock Music that would change history for many female (or male) Singer/Songwriters with anger issues within themselves that they want to release through their mind, body, and soul. thank You, Alanis. Thank You for being influential and for Us not being full of silence :)
