Alanis Morissette - 21 Things I want in a Lover ACOUSTIC

[xTommyGirlx]

this is the description of my lover and I. kindreds we are

[cesnikova]

Dear Santa...

These are 21 thingh I want in a lover. Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer.

(I'm in no hurry; I could wait forever, I'm in no rush cause I like being solo. There are no worries and certainly no pressure: In the meantime I'll live like there's no tomorrow.)

[filadelfiabrillante]

muy buena la versión!

[pitangabaum]

Alanis, I have all these 21 qualities. Well, I could be your lover ;-) but it´s too late.... You´ve already found your better half :-)

[neutrino78x]

@pitangabaum lol me too! I guess we both have to find our alanis eh? I'm in a job that helps my brother but I can hardly be said to be thriving...they pay me minimum wage...that's what I get for working for a charity eh? oh and I'm a virgin so I guess the uninhibited in bed thing isn't true either...although I'm a major pervert so it would be in theory...

[justingreen1973]

My spine tickles........

[ltlmsmetal]

Awesome !! Love Alanis ..

[KOWALSKIWHTCHALLENGE]

I've listened to this song in the other manner, which is more with distorted guitar. I must say, this acoutic version is by far a wide the only way it should ever be performed. It's the a most beautiful song I've ever heard. Dear A.M. THANK YOU.

[reggaechinie]

i miss her signature black hair

[bma0412]

sounds great and looks great.....

[brianfrk]

I really want this song in mp3, but i can't find it anywhere. where did she perform this?

[debfan74]

@brianfrk I believe this one of the AOL sessions she has done

[lunaangel56]

I can't decide which version I like better, this one, or the album version!!!

[timsonchin]

All I want in a lover is me... haha jk, love the song

[SS154488]

I only want 1 thing in a lover ;)

[USC2587]

I think Alanis looks better without makeup.

[TheXeivan]

OMG!  I love her hair like this! She's always been gorgeous, but I really like this style on her. I have always loved Alanis, and always always will!

[BaylorTank]

Look how perty this talented Artist is !

[mizmusicjunky80]

GOD your amazing Alanis!!! Stellerrr and amazing!!!

[Dante396]

malcom's mother :D

[Yokonono99]

Always beautiful (:

[guzel85]

I found one person lie that!!

[DoNtBeEfWiThEeF]

Love this version... Guitars sound beautiful! Love Daveid n Jason, they really connect well together.... =]

[ASdunek]

ahaiku *ROFL* You have listened to the song, right? She says "in a job that helps your brother." JOB. The definition of my job is to help others, and I can tell you that service jobs do NOT pay well. Like I said, SHE makes a lot of money, so looking for someone specifically with a job that helps others is fine-She can support him without worrying about how they will eat or where they will sleep. Not everyone has that luxury.

[MsTrannyBitch]

do you know what Alanis does with her bro? NO so back off! She knows what she does

[ElvyLongo27]

Ti porterò sempre con me!!

[banshek7]

Sounds like I'm your soul mate = ) really

[milliompolkad0tz]

I can't understand half of what she says, I got more out of this from reading the lyrics.

[hnyoung]

I wonder how she defines "job" as in "thriving in a job that helps your brother." Like, getting paid job? LOL Okay. Just asking because saving the world is great, but the pay is really crap, so I'm not sure how that one desirable trait can be fulfilled. I'm not a communist by far, but at the same time I am pretty sure that "thriving financially" and "helping your brother" are contradictory. You can even ask Jesus all about that one -- Jesus and that camel through the eye of a needle thing.

[ebc0118]

@hnyoung thriving could be about personal satisfaction in being part of bettering the world... rather than just selfish efforts at success for narcissistic reasons. Or even more simply like we you obviously took it, "Are you a doctor to save lives, or are you a doctor for your nice car and nice house?" And even though the efforts might start out selfishly (for money), no one thrives (aka, keeps) a job that they do not actually love... don't you think?

[ASdunek]

@ebc0118 I love Alanis, but seriously? She is a musician, making tons of money...So I suppose she can afford to look for someone who "helps his brother," but it sounds pretty hypocritical for her to list that. It's not like she is Mother Teresa, making sure that "her brother" is cared for.

[ahaiku]

@ASdunek You've really got life twisted if you think you need to have a lot of money to help your fellow man. Everyone should do WHAT THEY CAN to help. I don't have much money, but if someone's hungry and I can feed them, I will. My cousin lost her job and needs a place to stay so I'm taking her in and she in turn will share her food stamps with me. I'm afraid to drive so my little sister takes me where I need to go and because I make more money, I, in turn, help her out. Pay it forward.

[esriful]

@ASdunek i do love her too but reluctantly i think i share exactlly the same opinion with u...

[yancybutler]

@ASdunek No, But she does do charities and runs marathons for cancer support and donation and I think that she means doing services for your fellow beings in any formart. And honestly by donating the money she does she is helping out more than most people.

[klined]

omg she looks gorgeous in this video

[Lunagris28]

Awesome! DOes anyone know what she's doing these days????

[xandonx]

@Lunagris28 she's pregnant and married ;)

[Lunagris28]

Awesome!

[CanadianIce420]

Her music is as amazing as Sex. Agreed. She's a damn good singer.

[frank581949]

Alanis she is Introverted, secretive and reserved, Alanis tends to preserve the world it fears somewhat. She is shy and elitist in its choice of relationships. Alanis rather be alone than badly accompanied

[raindrop91]

she's beautiful :]

[alanisized]

her voice gives me shivers like no other...this version is beautiful!!!

everything she does is magic ♥

[sagebebs]

she looks very different here.. gorgeous :)

[born2bebAd69]

good music...:D

[WrmSthrnBreeze]

Great song!

[TheBenAppleby]

amazing song, doesn't suit the music tho...

and jesus christ, look at the way she moves her head, is she possessed? :O

love Alanis tho.

xx

[TheEdmiltonnn]

Alanis is one of the best singers and songwriters of the world! I love the lyrics to the arrangements of her beautiful voice! I thank God for seeing her live in Sao Paulo earlier this year was amazing

[1966present]

fantastic song.much prefer her live performances..she looks so gorgeous here...

[PauleQueenie]

GOOD DAY

[reconbarbo]

Would you take just 20 out of the 21 cause I could do that ;o)

[happymsw]

She's one of those few people who actually sounds better live. Her songs seam to sound a little bit dif every time she sings them, but trhey're allways amazing!

[joecounter]

That's because she's authentic.

Joe.

[meiyiyeap]

she's always awesome in concerts. love this version of her song!

[charmed1ify]

alanis is just to precious.

[peacewithin7]

This song starts with a beautiful tune!!!

[Allanabo]

[plattform5163]

Nice song, nice video! Thanks for sharing! Thank you Pennilessfairy for sending me!

[heif2hyves]

Can't believe I haven't listened to her for years.....great singer! Love her!

[xxcornishgirlxx]

What a brilliant song!! And she looks amazing!- Alanis rocks xx

[icantfindausernamehe]

alanis could command an army

[TheHotbloodedwoman]

21 such qualities in one man, well a girl can dream, can't she;)

[Cultiste]

C'mon, women just refuse to see our qualities! We have plenty of them! Do you know a woman who can survive without water? Well we can. Just bring us a few cans of beer... :p

[TheHotbloodedwoman]

Oh, of course you men ARE GREAT. Alanis wrote way too short song really:)

And yes, we need a lot of water to wash your clothes, clean, cook for you;)

[Cultiste]

I've heard of some men actually being able to do that all by themselves.

Want to know more about them?

[Twilighterfan147]

Yes xD

[biodreamer299]

we have or we are? uh?

[moochacha2021]

lol, no she's not

[JasonsAudioWorld]

I love the VX10! I used mine tonight.

[emlem52]

I just discovered this song and I absolutely love it! It's been in my head for 2 days now!

I love in this performance when she slips around the 2:50 mark. I think she was really concentrating on the words and what she was saying and couldn't help but snicker. I know I can't lol.

[HBCfan]

Aww, 20 of the 21.. I'm addicted... To this song. <3

[skyrdrykkur]

master of syllabells, great wordplay

[amaliari]

she s amazing

[starrynight003]

21 things to strive for, and want in a lover....Fantastic song! 'Not necessarily needs but Qualities', 'I choose to choose'....wonderful Alanis!

[Davezmaan]

I always liked the simplicity, the brown and without makeup, and the inspired emotion.

[EdZimmerman]

She looks here so much hotter than ever. A woman in her best age ..lol

[nerdsathome]

oh no, this is a bad version of this song...the original version has so much energy, seems very awkward. However I sill love you Alanis.

[kajsing]

Though tastes cant really be discussed, I must say I like this version even more then the retail track. To be honest I dont know why, maybe its the acoustics doing it for me.

[Ldgarl1]

I agree

[Ldgarl1]

I just listened to this song today, first this version then the original and i prefer this one best, and she's very nice to look at as well.

[th2morais]

I don´t like your hair!!!

[bou2okla]

she's so powerfull

[Onlyinsooke]

she looks so amazing in this video :)

[Rc258]

i love this song!

[pamelamosque]

bella canción. es mi preferida

[HelloImAlorah]

I love the original but I actually think I like the acoustic version better..

does anybody know where I can find an mp3 of this song?!?

alanis is just amazing <3

[etoile1412]

great act and beautiful looks too!!

[khamseen]

She's looking so well there, love Alanis, just always good listening ;D

[COCONUT202]

I do aswell

[khamseen]

I never knew you were into Alanis, Coco, that's awesome hehe :D

[thamichaeldylan]

She always has a bad ass band backin her.

[Jangatayo]

This version is the best!

She has never looked so beautiful & relaxed.

I love Alanis.

[Eryc001]

I agree 100%.

[braziliandrunkgirl]

I like this version too...and i love her smile here...

[Joaokimuralegiao]

I love this X-Men Alanis hahahaah!

;D

Rogue..

[Frankasaurus]

LOL

[CalexanderJ]

Damn, she just described me

[miehver]

Love are the energy that makes the world go around. Peace is in the music, it has it's own sound!!Look for angels were you shouldn't think they could exist, and jesus in the power of your own opened wrist! Let us first make peace with the inside of our soul, and after words spred it out to all. Don't look at the weak as if you were better, try to give him a word, or write him a letter. Act in your mind as it's allready peace, From could frosty Norway, to the warm sandy Greece.

Peace!!!

[elinay01]

im not quite sure i like the acoustic version, but every other song of hers is great(=

XD im going 2 get -6 thumbs down for saying i dont like this version

[lajko666]

Finally she doesn't look like a "woman from the woods"

[fastfret94]

that bass is cool in this!

[gizacw]

Do you not play dirty when you engage in competition????

[poem85]

i love alanis

[unwritteneuphoria]

Flawless :) She doesn't have the best voice for a singer per se but when she sings, it's just sounds so soothing... and her lyrics are just out of this world. Been a fan since after 2 years JLP came out... saw her in concert last week for the firs time and now I'm addicted to her music all over again :)

[carrerasarah]

Beautiful song, beautiful rendition, exquisite woman.

[AmayaYuukuno]

I agree with many others, it was hard to recognize her as Alanis, until she started singing.

I must say I dig this version of the song, well played.

[Joaokimuralegiao]

I dont like this version =/

[opazv]

amo a alanis, es una de mis interpretes favoritas

[girlmagnetxd]

in my opinion she has a bit of an annoying voice which makes it hard to like the song.

[Hhwhisky]

6 thumbs down on this comment?! Come on people! Realize that people are different and they have different opinions and different tastes!!

[ankoku2]

~ going on cam

[mininalinda88]

i love this version... love alanis

[osc642]

what a great version of this song

[kiwinavega]

Wow, I barely recognised Alanis here. Beautiful voice, I hope she realises how beautiful she is naturally.

That said, she deserves to be respected - however she presents herself (beautiful as the "made up" Alanis is). It's a birth right.

Alanis, you rule. You're smart, quirky and gorgeous. Thank you.

[mcrfannumber3000]

Wow, I love this song, and I didn't think I'd like the acoustic version, cause I'm so used to the other one, but I like this version too (:

[HystericHeart]

Do not get me wrong; I adore Alanis; I just prefer her natural look. Frankly, I hardly recognised her under all the make-up and hair spray.

[MissDumbledore]

I agree but sometimes you need to try to look like something else before you appreciate your natural look. I think she's still very pretty, but in general you are right - she is at her best when she is just natural. :-)

[HystericHeart]

I hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, I suppose you're right.

And this song, it's perfect. Hehe.

[arturomayorga]

She's the greatest!!!! I love this version!!!

she reminds me a little of Felicity Huffman... does anyone think I'm right?? lol

[lynxvex]

NO! Felicity Huffman is huffing hideous!

[mcrfannumber3000]

She does, actually lol...

[Narcissusboy21]

Diosaa!!!

[Yitzchakera4]

she looks like she is open minded and would be my friend

[bixalotta]

oh... alanis looks like a mixture of sarah jessica parker and victoria beckham in the beginning... don´t get me wrong... i adore alanis... but i liked her dark hair better...

[ncaso]

Nostalgic and beautiful version...

[lintje]

can't wait to see her next weekend at the dutch festival PINKPOP :D

i really like this song :D

[sweetflowerr]

Hee, ga je de 13e ook in HMH?

Ik ga de 13e =)

[schmutzel]

Sometimes I think she should sing less forceful in acoustic songs... just a bit more relaxed, quieter maybe. Aside from that, this is a lovely version of the song :)

[FRAnCe5k0]

omg, this version is amazing!!!

[TheRoseHipPavillion]

amen! :p

[bery26]

cool song! i lu her smile :)

[Hildeluis]

Beautiful with new look, wonderful voice, great lyrics. Simply perfect! Thank you, Alanis

[punishedexistence]

A little reminescent of Eight Days a Week by the Beatles and We were Electrocute By Type O.

Hence why I like it. Thank YOU, Alanis.

[stefanefonseca]

Essa versão ficou simplesmente P-E-R-F-E-I-T-A!!!

[mira228]

does she have vocals here??

[cutler40]

just brilliant

[TimNorway]

Her vocals are so amazing!

[LoveMySpade]

she looks beautiful here. and sounds so like always

[foreignergrl]

Wow! Don't we all want that? I do think he definitely needs to be an addicted, though. Even if he depends on coffee. Haha. That will keep things more interesting and some imperfections and vulnerabilities can be sexy as hell. Loved the video, love the song.

[seditionape]

Most women dont see these things?... Sounds like a cosmopolitan ideology. The reasonable woman requests these aspects of man after the feminization of society?. The irony lies in the aftermath of longing?!. Questions are from what you created>...

[ZiRRoSiS]

feminizacion de la sociedad?

machista, q machista por dios!!a mi m basta con cualidades hmanas....

puag q asko de gente así

saludos!! alanis ;@@ xd

[dardinoz]

wau wau

[foreignergrl]

So, cosmopolitan women arent reasonable and reasonable women arent cosmopolitan?

As soon as we generalize someone comes along 2 prove us wrong, but I'm ready to bet that most ppl listening to Alanis are cosmopolitan!

When (and more importantly, where) has the feminization of society occurred? I haven't seen it yet.

The irony lies in the fact that she's describing what she wants for her; not prescribing it to society. Some of us just happen to agree with her. To each its own.

Peace!

[seditionape]

Is 15 acceptable?. Choose to choose. Alanis meets all my 25 requirements, and then some. I promise to work on the following 6

[ismaelitrox]

jskajsaksjaksjaks

I have 12... :(

I think that you're winning, right now :(

[seditionape]

LOL!. I would lose for her though. Whatever she wants. Could not possibly compete!. After all, it is just preference. You might have it

[ismaelitrox]

=)

well, whatever!

[operasinger2686]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. I have it all quoted on my facebook, haha. But I was wondering...what does she mean by "a-la"?

[alanisfan1125]

It's meaning "being like"

[brian8195]

alanisfan1125 is right, so basically what's she saying by, "Are you funny a la self-depricating" is are you funny and can make fun of yourself, or like... can you be funny at your own expense

[animeloverandother]

shes gorgeous in every possible way

[alanisfan1125]

This is a beautiful acoustic version of one of the best songs ever!! Good job (as always) Alanis!! Love you! (her teeth are perfect, don't you think?)

[sushimunchie]

Orgasm

[lemraj01]

Alanis I love you!

[yellowpedal]

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kveds]

This is the first time I've heard this song, and wow, did I ever need to hear this song right now... She really is so talented.

[karienepientjee]

Wow! This version really hits it.

[epidemik34]

that little bridge section from 2:20-2:40 is soooooo beautiful. i love it!

[looselywired]

Of All Of Her Songs This One Has Tapped Into Something With Me...I No Longer Have Those Relationaships Where I Just Settle For Second Best And Am Miserable... "I Could Wait Forever" For These 21 Things But "In The Meantime I'll Live Like There Is No Tomorrow"! Great !!!!! London Dave.

[bowiefan4evr]

Only Alanis Morisette can say the things that some of the rest of us are skeptical to say in life and she sings it so well. I figure I have a choice!

[nsubovsky]

i figure i can describe since i have a choise in the matter

[bowiefan4evr]

Yes, That's what I meant to put:)

[duangjan2007]

sha's changed a lots

[Sadistlitlepuppy]

haha... she HAS changed a lot. I like her new stuff as much if not more than JLP, but man...

she is god in a jay and silent bob movie. beat that.

[AmaryllisJoline]

Wow, This look is great. She is beautiful. I love, love her music.

[julicrupi]

I love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[avcarol]

Awesome acustic version!!! This woman can make that the singnin' looks like a piece of cake!!!!

Maybe you can find this song version here: alanisbrasil(dat)com

[samataagl]

you see guys...she is 'everything'.. thats what i feel is so cool about her... now check out her new looks... gorgeous...

lovely song...

[NeongreenPineapple]

such a good song, even in acoustic... but she looks like a wh#re in this video..:$:$
