Alanis Morissette vs. Zuzana Smatanová

This is a comparison of the similarities between Alanis Morissette's hit song from 1995 "You Oughta Know" and a popular slovakian artist Zuzana Smatanová's song 2003 "Half an Hour".

Zuzana & some of her fans refuse to acknowledge the similarities between the two artists. Zuzana is credited as being entirely original. This is obviously FALSE. The purpose of this video is to ACKNOWLEDGE an obvious immitation. Alanis has inspired everything from Zuzana's music and lyrics to her vocal stylings, concert performances, photographs, mannerisms and even her website. On Zuzana's albums you will find several sound-alike songs inspired by such Alanis songs as:

You Oughta Know/Half an Hour
Hand In My Pocket/Entirely Good
That I Would Be Good/Tam kde sa neumiera
Joining You/Fourth With a Fourtune
Eight Easy Steps/Nazory a Sny
Ironic/Ktovie Ci Prave
Unsent/The Youth Of Mine
That Particular Time/The Silence of My House
No Pressure Over Capuccino/Sorry To My Brother

...just to name a few.

Stars and pills and needles〜 Don't you see?

[EverythingJunkie]

No, I don't see. You're being ridiculous. NEXT.

[umadoshikakko]

The title Jagged little pills comes from one phrase of Marilyn Manson's Dope Hat. She shakes her hair copying Marilyn's video Lunch Box.

[EverythingJunkie]

Um, no it doesn't. He doesn't say that. Tons of artists shake their hair. Not to mention Marilyn Manson's own name is recycled. Do your research.

...Alanis is hardly obscure or talentless. Jagged Little Pill is one of the biggest selling albums ever. This zuzana bitch is an obvious rip off just fucking listen.

[Shiram03]

Ms. Zuzana is really hugely inspired by Alanis. LOL

[mrsladycroft]

there will always be one ALANIS, the rest are just some frustrated thieves

@tompilby nie, daj ruku...to je elán - bosorka ;)

I haven't heard of Zuzana, but after hearing her here...sounds like she ripped off Alanis to me! :-)

[shawnkuhn]

I love alanis morrissette! 5***** great video!

[RachelEeeeee]

The funniest thing about this is that someone cared enough to make this video and try desperately to call out this Zuzana's fans in the "info." If anyone should care it should be Alanis, not a bunch of shit stirring trolls on the internet.

I have only heard two songs by this Zuzana chick and own every Alanis album and it's still inconsequential. There are real issues in the world. Get over it, either way.

First time I listened to Zuzana, I was like : OMG that's so much like Alanis !!!!

[tompilby]

beriem spat svoje predchadzajuce slova, moc som to zlahcoval. pustil som si tie nahravky a je to nechutne! Ukradla este aj dizajn internetovej stranky Alanis!

[tompilby]

Ved zuzka uz mala davnejsie aferku aj s kradnutim textov, ale co sa tyka hudobnej inspiracie, myslim, ze momentalne je to uz v "poriadku". Vo svojom najnovsom singli Daj ruku do mojej ruky uz vykrada samu seba :-)

[ivanechristina]

Ok inspiring but not copycat!!!

[satanko21]

Zuzana is the best slovak singer
