Alanis Morissette - No Apologies

[debfan74]

In response to everyone who has made negative comments about the early work from Alanis...You have to start some place and no Alanis was not exactly happy with this stuff as she started to change her style, but people, it is a part of the growth process as a musician....and I will give kudos to Alanis...she was only doing what was popular in the years of 1990/91/92/93

[franklinpunkrock]

Her voice is different

[MariposaGirl1981]

Alanis was very talented even from the age of 8 when she started writing her own songs

[nirconn]

@MariposaGirl1981 I think she wrote Ironic at the age of 8..

[debfan74]

@nirconn no she did not...that came around the age of 20 when she met Glenn Ballard

[nirconn]

@debfan74 I know I was just kidding,,

[thom2805]

oh...guess thats very old.

in younger years the people do stupid things often.

[nshilla]

Why did she do this? This is not the Alanis I know or love...

[bucksy2102]

oh my gosh her voice sounds so strange .. lol

[debfan74]

@bucksy2102 she is a teenager here

[xoxj0nas0bs3ssi0nxox]

listenin to this song after absolute ages and loving it even more than before!!!!!

[KenzieLynnCovers]

Its reeeaallllyyy weird hearing her sing this type of stuff. I don't really like this Alanis. I like all of her music starting at Jagged Little Pill.

[annaleigha2]

different to hear this type of music from alanis.....can't believe I had'nt heard this before..

[punishedexistence]

You know what? I hate this style of music with a passion. I just do, my opinion, I don't ever force it down anyone else's throat. BUT, she can take it and make it good. I grew up in a period when all I listened to was Black sabbath, metallica and Guns n Roses. I never figured I'd be jamming this loud in here. But I have always deeply respected her, and she had so much sadness hidden away, eventually, it had to come out in later albums. That made no sense, but shit, this woman is God.

[maxday1000]

@punishedexistence her voice reminds me of sporty spice.......

[bed22455]

@punishedexistence She literally is God in the movie Dogma lol

[punishedexistence]

@bed22455 Haha that was kinda what I was eluding to :)  She certainly deserved the role!

[ShauryaAashish]

Alanis sure is a genius.

[slovakgirl5]

AAlanis IS genius, period. During this "phase", I feel that she was not allowed to be her true self. She, no doubt, has a great voice; however, this type of music is simply not her. Now she is expressive and her true self/voice comes out. She truly has a gift from God and I love her music.

[kisscatastrophe]

the creative middle ground you want is "Flavors Of Entanglement" whicvh Alanis herself has said is an album she could see "pop alanis" doing as a comeback. it's got the heartfelt lyrics Alanis wants to writes but the soaring. studio perfect vocal layering and pop sheen that Guy Sigsworth offered. just listen to a track like "Giggling Again For No Reason:" or "Tapes" her singing is mindblowing and wonderful and better than ever

[citygurl0883]

i"m glad she got through with that phase!

[Eurodictionary]

FAB track! This song has been the inspiration for a lot of modern ballads if you listen closely. Plus, she did not get dropped, her contract expired, that is something different...

[DuracellEnergizer]

It can't be denied that her earlier music was less than inspired, but it also can't be denied that she sacrificed much of her talent as a vocalist during her transition, and isn't as good a singer anymore.

I wish Alanis could have found some sort of creative middle ground - inspired lyrics along with perfect vocals.

[DuracellEnergizer]

I have to take back what I said above after having listened to her post-SFIJ material. The unpleasant qualities present in JLP and - to a greater extent - SFIJ are virtually absent in those albums.

I still think NITT is her best album, though.

[Canadianwayne]

yes its called forgive me love, sooooo many people have never heard it

[pantherquizzer]

if only she recorded happier songs.

[pantherquizzer]

she's highly underrated as a singer. she's one of the best female vocalists of our generation.

[debfan74]

I do not think some of you understand Alanis......I read on comment on the " Real Alanis".....I will be happy to give ya folks insight here, being a HUGE fan of hers, I am only 3 months and 18 days to the tee younger than her.....Alanis hates this era in her life....that is what some of Jagged Little Pill and some of Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is about.....u really need to see her Behind The Music VH1 did

[DuracellEnergizer]

Who cares if she hates it? The music is still good.

[debfan74]

yes the music is good, that is because Alanis was eager to please her record company and producer...but she hates it because it is not the music she wanted to do, she hates doing songs about false relationships, she likes her lyrics based on reality and events in her life

[DuracellEnergizer]

Are you saying she's only a good singer when she's trying to please other people? ; )

Anyway ... No one forced her to write superficial songs. She should have been more open in her music when she began her career in earnest. It's her own fault that her early songs came out the way they did.

[mezlande]

Yes but if she'd done that then there's a good chance she would have been dropped before Jagged Little Pill etc.. could have even been made. It was the same with pink yano.. she doesn't even count her first album as one of hers at all.

[DuracellEnergizer]

I don't see how writing an inspired song instead of an uninspired one would have gotten her dropped. Most listeners (and producers) wouldn't have given a damn one way or the other as long as it would sell.

[mnc51]

She was 18 when this video was filmed.

[tobita07152006]

si, yo creo q esta cancion es hermosa,

I do think this song is beautiful and should be considered to be released again..... she ruled, she rules and she will forever rule....

[oscaragp]

glen ballard just made good job

[Pineappleseeds]

I'm sure you couldn't find a bigger contrast in music from one artist. Maybe it was a twin, singing the power ballards.

[fernandadrummond]

that's a horrible outfit! haha. but nice to see these vids flying around...

[benjaminlyrics]

interesting. Considering the era, she sounds a lot like Celine Dion. Style and voice.

[ilgobbodilondra]

..Style Reba McIntire!!!Country-music......­

[debfan74]

I have always said what u did about this track

[DarkAdamantai]

Haha, Sandcastles in the Sand of HIMYM is a parody of this video

[seriouslymc]

I am sooo glad she broke free and started doing her own think. This is not the real Alanis.

[DuracellEnergizer]

The "real" Alanis. What does that even mean?

Life changes people. Who she was then may not be who she is now, but that doesn't mean she wasn't any less "real" then.

(For the record, this is the best song I've heard from her.)

[Canadianwayne]

have you heard the hidden track on jagged little pill, bomb ass track

[spirishbabe]

her voice sounds soooooooooooooooooooooo different!

[hamsterfan7]

I have been looking for these Alanis videos forever! Thank you!

[blueeyesofice]

the only way to tell her apart from her old and new days is how wide eyed and clueless her eyes used to be

[DuracellEnergizer]

That's right. Now her eyes are full of hardness and anger.

[Paabhlo]

Alanis no debería olvidar estas canciones tan hermosas
