As a Canadian, I freakin' love Alanis Morissette, but, I always find it odd that when folks react to her music, they don't realize that, before becoming the iconic force showcased by this video, she was a dance-pop singer first. Just once, for shits & giggles, I would like to see someone react to her premier video in 1991, titled Too Hot...that's the best way to fully appreciate her evolution sparked by Jagged Little Pill.
Jagged little pill is one of my all time favorite albums. I was born in 1979 so I’ve come up through the 90’s grunge era and am very fluent in all kinds of music. When this album dropped it was so unlike anything else on the radio. Granted, you outta know was a banger and put her on the map. But there’s so many other great songs. This one, perfect, see right through you, all I really want, hand in my pocket!!! Just an absolutely timeless fucking album.
Reminds me of when I was a single mom with kids (I had no parents as they passed away) and getting cancer treatment. My landlord decided to sell the duplex I lived in. She also charged me to update the duplex. I was too ill to fight it. About a month or so after I was out and she remodeled the duplex, I got a call from her. The water heater exploded and flooded the basement and destroyed a lot of the updates. Ironic or karma, not sure.
I have always loved this song. She is adorable playing God in the movie Dogma as well. although you would think God would know the difference between coincidence and irony. :)
I feel she's also seeing the big picture, how things balance the universe out.. too many good things have to be balanced or checked with something not so good.. and sometimes we get the good things and sometimes we get the bad.. life does have a funny way of "helping you out!"
Love the song. I've heard others point out that much of what she uses as examples of irony in the lyrics are not irony at all. Most are just unfortunate situations, but they are not typically what one would define as ironic.
@@wishtheyunderstoodme I would start by looking at the definition of irony. Irony involves a contrast or incongruity between expectations and reality. There is no inherent expectation that it will not rain, nor is there a contrast between expectation and reality that would constitute irony. It is simply unfortunate it rained that day. A case could be made for actual irony on some of the other examples in the lyrics, but others are clearly just unfortunate incidents with no incongruity between expectations and reality.
Alanis grew up in Ottawa and was on a TV show called "you can't do that on television" She was a popular teenie pop artist while still in high school (Glebe Collegiate), "too hot" was one of her hits at that time. She was briefly engaged to fellow Canadian, Ryan Reynolds.
You should check out the video where she sings this song with her daughter, I love her and we all went crazy first hearing her and love her to this day.
LOVE me some Alanis!!! Jagged Little Pill is still a record I would want while stranded on an island! I wore that CD out back in the day! You Oughtta Know is my favorite! She was getting over her long relationship with Dave Coulier from Full House! There is an acoustic version of this record, too! Love her so much!!
@@countyman222 Nope, not a single one! My niece just graduated high school and and I gave her Jagged Little Pill on vinyl as part of her gift! She can't stop playing it! I do everything I can to spread the love of music to anyone who will listen!
I used to rent a house 🏠 n Silver Lake Wisconsin and they were filming the movie Amityville Horror with Ryan Reynolds. I had a chance to meet him but i didn’t want to bother him because i knew the security guards that worked on the movie. Back then Ryan used to be engaged to Alanis Morissette. Obviously they are not together anymore. I had a chance to meet her too back then. I watched the movie because I knew most of the locations where they filmed the movie
If you really want your mind blown, check out her cover of "My Humps". Yes, she really did cover that song. And yes, it's every bit as amazing and hilarious as you might think.
It is a great song but I just wanted to pass along that you are correct in getting through depression is seeing the the irony and laughing about it. Laughing is the key to overcoming depression...
She is great! She is also married to Mario Treadway (known as Souleye) and he is a rapper, hip-hop artist like yourself. He grew up a few houses up from us in central Massachusetts where his parents still live.
she has a song called 'Uninvited' that was on the 'City Of Angels' soundtrack....'I Remain' from the Prince Of Persia movie is just as amazing....I definitely needing to hear this song after the kind of month July is turning out to be....she dated 'Uncle Joey' from 'Full House'....she supposedly wrote 'You Oughta Know' when he did her dirty lol
I remember this song came out when I was 15. And the video dropped before the album came out. I remember meeting up at the lockers with my group of friends the morning after the video dropped and everybody talking about who stayed up late to watch the video and who didn't, and how cool the video was...just for different versions of herself singing in this car. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Alanis had always and will always be one of my favorites! She is unabashedly herself and completely unique. Love her!
The video is directed by French guy Stephane Sednaoui. An emotional and visual man, typically him to express the big dynamics of this song by making Alanis go wild and crazy in the loud parts 🙂
Alanis was always Amazing.... But after seeing her in the movie Dogma I developed a HUGE crush. Haha, she's so freaking cute its crazy. lol. Along this line of music; consider Michelle Branch.. Amazing voice... And not that it matters, but also quite the cutie. lol
If you want to be shocked , visit Alanis Morissette before when she was Alanis. Her first album was dance pop before she came into her own style. You have to check it out. She's got some dance moves....lol The song is called Too Hot. By Alanis
C'mon my guy...it IS cold AF there! She got the car and had to roll the windows down because there was no heat, and if you leave them up - the windows ice over! She's now a dual US/Canadian citizen...
Ha - growing up in Wisconsin... if you didn't have heat in your car, it didn't stop you from going to clubs to hear music.. and if someone had to reach out the window with a sock on their hand b/c wipers didn't work.. well, then it was worth it... lol
Actually by the Oxford dictionary, it is ironic "and typically causing wry amusement because of this. happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this. "I often find it ironic that despite the wonders of being alive, we refuse to be happy"
Alanis is married with 2 children under 10 years old. She just started retouring a little bit and she did have a stage play out for her Album called "Jagged little Pill" was a stage play. It's nice to see her getting popular again with young people who didn't know about her from obscurity to Super stardom in a little over 1 year back in the late 90s. A lot of Alanis's good songs never had videos made so if you wanna listen to the audio version of Her song "Forgiven" from Jagged Little Pill that would be a good one along with "Perfect" might have a video or a live performance, but yeah, a lot of her good songs on her albums were NEVER released on radio or in a videos. And also watching Alanis live really shows a testament to her voice, how much she didn't have auto-tunes at all in any of her albums. That's how good she is with her unique voice. Finally she also date and was engaged to fellow Canadian Actor who plays Deadpool Ryan Reynolds for a bit but they decided to not proceed and went their seperate ways
Alanis Morissette is married to Mario Treadway, a.k.a. Souleye. Like Morissette, Souleye is a musician. He began performing as a hip-hop artist in high school and released his first album in 2002.
Love this album and so glad I got to see her live. She was amzing live. Check out Ed Byrne's sketch about this song and the one thing that is actually an example of irony.
love your channel man, you look like a really nice person with an open mind to learn more, unlike many people who are stubborn and arrogant 😅 i wish you the best in life
Regarding Canadians dominating the music industry - back in the 1990's the Big 4 (for women artists anyhow) were Alanis, Sarah Mclaughlin, Celine Dion and Shania Twain.
I see, all over RUclips, this commercial about the cell phone industry being very two-faced (but, they are calling it Ironic) and showing the interior car scenes from THIS video. LOL
Not afraid to admit, 6th grade, along with E.1999 Eternal, Operation Stackola, Coolio, Friday Soundtrack, Skee-Lo and Westside Connection, I was banging Jagged Little Pill in my Discman.
I remember reading the newspaper a long time ago, guy was released from prison because he was proved innocent and that night walking to the store there was a brick wall built since he had been home, used to be a hill and he died. Just reminded me of that
I nearly got to see her in Madrid in 2020.... effing lockdown and all her european concerts got cancelled and refunded. Damn. I loved her in my yoot! x
Uninvited at the Grammys!!! A must do
Great song!!!
Her performance of “Uninvited” at the Grammys is a must see 🔥🔥🔥
@kimzwolinski9919 I have suggested that song, I believe more than any other & I believe the last time was yesterday! lol
The whole album Jagged little pill is a jewel.
Yeap!
She was awesome as “God” in Dogma!😊
Fun fact, Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighter (RIP) He was her drummer before he started with Foo Fighter. Ironic 🤷🏼♀️
I just saw a video of her singing this song with her little girl onstage.

If you had dated her. Then broke up with her. "You Oughta Know" the consequences.
I see what you did there. Totally true.
Uncle Joey....bastard....but almost assuredly dodged a lifetime of misery
Poor uncle Joey
Excellent comment!
You better find out!
"Jagged Little Pill" - the Soundtrack of my twenties. I love the hole Album.
Incredible album!
Check out her song “Uninvited” I like the live version from the Grammys.

Alanis ruled the 90's for a little bit
Just saw her in concert, hasn't lost a thing!!
She slaps big time! One of my all-time favorite singers!
You should do Tori Amos "Crucify" her voice is awesome too!
I love Alanis!!!! She is absolutely awesome!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Man this brings back memories. I wore this cd out. Jagged Little Pill. She never received the accolades she deserved. I love her!!!
Reminds me of when I was a single mom with kids (I had no parents as they passed away) and getting cancer treatment. My landlord decided to sell the duplex I lived in.

Just yesterday, I watched a video of Alainis and her daughter, Onyx, singing this song. She is adorable! ❤
Wore this cd out on the drives to the cottage when my kids were 10 and 12. Loved it!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have always loved this song. She is adorable playing God in the movie Dogma as well. although you would think God would know the difference between coincidence and irony. :)
How ironic!!! My best friend just won tickets to see her on Tuesday!!!! So freaking excited!!!
"You oughta know" music video is a must
He already did that. Just do a search you’ll find it. 👍
@@katscully I just did. Already seen it. Lol
I feel she's also seeing the big picture, how things balance the universe out.. too many good things have to be balanced or checked with something not so good.. and sometimes we get the good things and sometimes we get the bad.. life does have a funny way of "helping you out!"
Nice to see an artist have fun and smile - her and you… and all of us viewing this song and reaction.
This album was enormous when it came out.
Love the song. I've heard others point out that much of what she uses as examples of irony in the lyrics are not irony at all. Most are just unfortunate situations, but they are not typically what one would define as ironic.
they all ironic, wtf are you all talking about. the irony of a rainy day when is your 1 time wedding day. it couldn't just not raining that 1 day.

Can you imagine 4 Alanis' in one car?🤔🤔🤣🤣😂😂👍👍

Alanis did an updated version of 'Ironic' for James Gordon back in like 2015.
Love her, love this song we have such wonderful Canadian artists

One of my all time favorite female artists. ‘That I Would Be Good’ is perfection
She had a play on Broadway Jagged Little Pill

That was my crush back in the day 😍
You need to watch her live. She's excellent!
Should really try Uninvited by Alanis Morissette!!!
My daughter just saw her in concert up in Woodstock this past Friday night...
I saw her in London back in the 90's. Third best concert I've been to
And BTW- it poured rain on both mine and my daughter's wedding days....and I was married 45 years this past May.....rain is Blessings for all .
Anybody else remember the parody to this song. It came out on MTV. "It's like raaaain on a rainy day."
❤Alanis ❤
If you really want your mind blown, check out her cover of "My Humps". Yes, she really did cover that song. And yes, it's every bit as amazing and hilarious as you might think.
OMGosh her voice!!! 😮❤
It is a great song but I just wanted to pass along that you are correct in getting through depression is seeing the the irony and laughing about it. Laughing is the key to overcoming depression...
Loved this video when it first came out..still love it!
All her music is the bomb 💣
She is great! She is also married to Mario Treadway (known as Souleye) and he is a rapper, hip-hop artist like yourself. He grew up a few houses up from us in central Massachusetts where his parents still live.
hit up the views yall, show the man your appreciation for everything he does.
I do love this one and Alanis is one of my absolute favorites
The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention, Now that is Irony - Bender Futurama
Yes, her Jagged Little Pill album was huge. But as others are saying, you will LOVE her "Uninvited" live at the Grammy's.
One of my favorite videos lol.. she was sooooo sooooo good... thank you. 😊
Taylor Hawkins was her drummer. Taylor went on to be the drummer with the Foo Fighters till he passed away.
she has a song called 'Uninvited' that was on the 'City Of Angels' soundtrack....'I Remain' from the Prince Of Persia movie is just as amazing....I definitely needing to hear this song after the kind of month July is turning out to be....she dated 'Uncle Joey' from 'Full House'....she supposedly wrote 'You Oughta Know' when he did her dirty lol

Ah yes. The good old days where video premiers actually mattered and the content was good!!

"Uninvited." Same soundtrack that The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" was on. (City of Angels)
She date actor Ryan Reynolds for awhile. She is married to hip hop artist Souleye and has 3 kids. Their names are Ever, Onyx and Winter.
The funniest part is most of the things she references aren't examples of irony, but misfortune lol
If you want to be shocked , visit Alanis Morissette before when she was Alanis.
Her first album was dance pop before she came into her own style.
You have to check it out.
She's got some dance moves....lol
The song is called Too Hot. By Alanis
I still have that CD somewhere. She’s from my home city, & had a crush on her back then lol.
She was also on an old Nickelodeon show called "You Can't Do That on Television". Which is pretty much a kids SNL or All That years before All That.
C'mon my guy...it IS cold AF there! She got the car and had to roll the windows down because there was no heat, and if you leave them up - the windows ice over! She's now a dual US/Canadian citizen...
It's ironic.
Ha - growing up in Wisconsin... if you didn't have heat in your car, it didn't stop you from going to clubs to hear music.. and if someone had to reach out the window with a sock on their hand b/c wipers didn't work.. well, then it was worth it... lol

That song is so interesting - great song and thank you for the video! ❤
Love this album and so glad I got to see her live. She was amzing live.
Check out Ed Byrne's sketch about this song and the one thing that is actually an example of irony.
Imagine being in a car with 4 Alanis Morissette's. Fun times
Brings back memories so yes lets re examine.
I'm not into pop but there are a very few exceptions. This is one of them. Loved this song as a metal loving teen.
Kiss from a rose - Pentatonix
Thanks for sharing this reaction, Stay strong 💪🏽
I think she is a woman of faith now like she sings spiritual stuff
"HEAD OVER FEET" by Alanis is another banger song to react to!! She kicks Ass!!! Jagged Little Pill album is a Masterpiece!!!
You should check her out in Dogma. She played the part of God.
New baby, new studio - this is a time for new beginnings in so many ways. You're about to level up, dude, fasten your seat belt.
I think we need some Jewel to follow up
love your channel man, you look like a really nice person with an open mind to learn more, unlike many people who are stubborn and arrogant 😅 i wish you the best in life
Loved this song and video❤❤ thanks for sharing 😂😂😂
I agree with many of the comments below you should react to the song "Uninvited" by Alanis it is awesome.
I LOVE ALANIS MORISSETTE....THIS AN ALL TIME FAV !!! .... DESCRIBES LIFE !! JAM MUSTANG 89 CONVERITABLE TOP DOWN SHOUTING THE WORDS !!
Regarding Canadians dominating the music industry - back in the 1990's the Big 4 (for women artists anyhow) were Alanis, Sarah Mclaughlin, Celine Dion and Shania Twain.
Good cd
One of the best lyricists you will EVER find!! One of my favorite songs . MORE MLORE MORE PLEASE !!
So good a lyricist she doesn't know the meaning of the word ironic, writing an entire song anout a series of events that are NOT examples of irony.
@@MarkMay-cr6bv lol exactly!
@@MarkMay-cr6bv Some might say that a song called "Ironic" not having any ironic lyrics is itself quite ironic.
i heard she auditioned on the show star search years ago and was voted off,that woman can sang ! way before american idol, with the late Ed Mcmahon
Lisa LeBlanc... Also? Jagged Little Pill? Amazing record!
Alanis Morissete played a great god. Take her to movie and watch Dogma.
Wet knots tighten as they dry, so rain on a wedding day is suppose to make an enduring marriage.
Fun fact: Since Jay and Silent Bob exist in Scream 3, that means Alanis is God in the Scream series.
Hey Black P. Check out Madonna Like a prayer. It's not banned anymore lol
I see, all over RUclips, this commercial about the cell phone industry being very two-faced (but, they are calling it Ironic) and showing the interior car scenes from THIS video. LOL
I know I've mentioned it every time you watch one of her videos, but you've got to check out Ablaze! Being a proud parent I know you love it.
