My first "big" concert at age 16, I saw Tori Amos and Alanis. I think the chills lasted for weeks. A truly unforgettable experience. It was August 22 (Tori's birthday) I yelled "happy birthday" to her during a set pause. She heard and thanked me. Twelve years later, I gave birth to my daughter on the very same day. They are all linked in my heart forever. That's the power of music ♥
I love Alanis and this song sooo much! And this is such a cool version. Kelly rocks, I don't think I would have made to the end w/o completely freaking out if I was her...
That one, plus Mary Jane and Uninvited are my favorites. I was 15 when Jagged Little Pill was released and I remember it was a PHENOMENON. Alanis spoke to young people about very specific things that we were all experiencing and did so in a way that hadn't been done before and I don't think has been replicated since. JLP remains in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. 🙌
I loved Jagged Little Pill when I was younger (it was an iconic staple of my childhood), kind of fell off of Alanis as I got into other things, then I found out she put out a new album and was touring last yr - total Alanis resurgence for me. I saw her in concert last summer (and will be again this summer) and she was absolutely breathtaking! She sounded so good I thought she was lip-syncing for a moment (she wasnt, there were too many impromptu changes). Its funny that she played God in Dogma bc Im convinced she's an angel lol
Jagged LittlePill was my first album and I love it to this day. Got to see Alanis life last year which was epic. I also absolutely am in awe of Kelly's voice. She can just sing about anything as well or better than the original. Such extraordinary talent.
As someone who was a teen in the 90s, this song was like our anthem. So much nostalgia. Alanis just had a voice that held the pain and anger of a whole generation of young women. And Kelly has one of the best female singing voices in decades. Fight me on it lol I will die on that hill 😂😂😂
If you ever want to hear an awesome version of You Oughta Know look up her singing this at the Grammys. It's more of an orchestral version of the song. The original version of the song is my number 1 version, but the Grammys version is like 1B favorite version. They are almost neck and neck.
Happy Holidays Sam 🎉 Jagged Little Pill it's an album that just gets carved into your soul. Alanis and Mr. Ballard were in a complete state of grace, a conjunction of pure talent, passion and just cosmic timing. The musical on Broadway just gave me ALL of the emotions. I could retire after duetting with her 😅
My favorite Kelly song is probably Sober or Tightrope & my favorite Alanis song is probably Hand in my Pocket or Ironic. I can’t decide between those 2 for either artist lol. I love both of these incredibly talented women! ❤
i surprised my mom with alanis tickets for christmas, she saw her in the 90s in the same outdoor venue we are going to! I'm so happy I get to see her and give my mom this chance again!
I absolutely love Alanis Morissette and this is one of my favorites. I also like a new album pretty little forks. She’s one of the best lyricist there is.
You oughta know is definitely my favorite Alanis song. It's where she switched to alternative rock for the first time and she absolutely nailed it. The song has strong lyrics and she greatly conveyed her emotions through her singing. I could feel her sadness, anger and passion as a teenager and it left an impression.
What's great is that this was the end of a 10-minute clip of the two of them singing parts of like 7 or 8 songs. Kelly really must have been feeling the emotions in that moment.
Interesting, I learned quite a bit actually . I love love Alanis Morissette and my favorite song is : "Mary Jane." I like Kelly Clarkson especially in my teens I saw her go from her Winning the first season of American Idol with Ryan Seacrest as the host, whom I saw in person a few times in North Hollywood, CA. My favorite song is:" Stronger "
You kinda think Kelly might be numb to the privilege of doing this kind of thing at this point having sung with so many icons but of course Alanis released this song when Kelly was a kid so I bet she still thinks back to what young non-famous Kelly Clarkson would think of her now dueting this song with someone she probably idolised. I guess even when you’ve done it all sometimes you have to pinch yourself. And fully agree that loving Alanis’ voice means you are at the pinnacle of humanity now haha. She’s clearly preserved her voice well, she still sounds great and has her distinctive tone intact at nearly 50.
My favorite Kelly song is her slow version cover of "Beautiful Disaster." Oh this duet was everything, i loved it. I would have never guessed they sang for a whole hour 🙃🤣 too. I had no idea that video was 😢so long. My roommate tried to tell me it wasn't and she is now blocked. Lol
I’m a head over feet kind of guy. Angry Alanis is fantastic and all but sometimes you just wanna be sweet… but also narsty. In other news, I was today years old when I found out that Head Over Feet invented the phrase Friend with Benefits. Man, I should really get on the vocalease karaoke this weekend
Hey Sam. I was wondering something. My brother was a singer song writer. Not famous to anyone but his friends and family. He used to warm up his voice in a weird way. He told me he invented an exercise to loosen up his vocal cords. He called them lowlows. He would sing the word low lower and lower in pitch as loud as he could while inhaling. I know it sounds weird but, coming from someone who doesn't sing at all , I myself go from sounding like an old wineo to Dean Martin in 15 minutes. I know it works incredibly well. My question is, is this a known exercise or did my brother really invent it. He passed away a year and a half ago. If you do try it and it works as well for you and your students and it is unknown to the vocal coach community, and you do endorse this exercise, can you please refer to them as Piazza's lowlows. As always i think you understand voice and music on a higher level.
I think we all should have achieved this same apex of love for Alanis at LEAST when Kevin Smith made the decision to cast her as God, if not in the year 1995 itself. But I'm willing to make allowances for those who weren't fortunate enough to have been born as a Gen X/Elder Millennial, as I was.
@SamJohnsonVoice Haha! No apologies! There's just so few things we can flex and this is one of them, along with experiencing Nirvana's "Nevermind" album in real time. Oh and also living through Thriller-mania as 3-7 year Olds. It was an amazing time to grow up in terms of music ❤️
As someone that came of age when she released Jagged Little Pill, I would like to thank Alanis for singing everything we felt. 😂

I AM SO JEALOUS !
Tori AND Alanis!! Amazing!!
I saw these two amazing ladies together in Minneapolis. I’m wondering if it’s the same tour.
Kelly is such a great harmonizer!
She's an all timer
Very much so! I'm always in awe of her talent. She's able to produce beautiful harmonies with anyone on her stage. Her timing is spot on.
Number 1: CONGRATS on writing a book!! What an accomplishment!!
Number 2: Can you react to Kelly and Teddy Swims duet of Lose Control? ❤
#1: Thank you!!!
#2: Added it to my list
@@SamJohnsonVoice Omg yes!!! I love his version of it, but the 2 of them together was freaking FIRE!!!
I love how gleeful Kelly always seems and Alanis just looks so happy to be there. I love them both!
More Kelly please
I love Alanis and this song sooo much! And this is such a cool version. Kelly rocks, I don't think I would have made to the end w/o completely freaking out if I was her...
Just bought your book. Thanks, Sam for years of informative and entertaining videos.
Thank you so much!!!! Let me know what you think
As a veteran of a You Oughta Know centric Sam Johnson voice lesson… I’m here. To enjoy this.
My favorite Alanis song is Your House. The little hidden track where you could feel her pain. We all felt it.
That one, plus Mary Jane and Uninvited are my favorites. I was 15 when Jagged Little Pill was released and I remember it was a PHENOMENON. Alanis spoke to young people about very specific things that we were all experiencing and did so in a way that hadn't been done before and I don't think has been replicated since.

Kelly just did a duet with Teddy Swims of his song "Lose Control" it was amazing, check it out!
As someone who was a teen in the 90s, this song was like our anthem. So much nostalgia. Alanis just had a voice that held the pain and anger of a whole generation of young women. And Kelly has one of the best female singing voices in decades. Fight me on it lol I will die on that hill 😂😂😂
Huge Kelly fan, her new song magic on her new chemistry album is amazing

Love both of these ladies. Sooo gooood!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I absolutely love Alanis Morissette and this is one of my favorites. I also like a new album pretty little forks. She’s one of the best lyricist there is.
My favourite Kelly’s song is Maybe and my favourite Alanis’ song is … I can’t choose, however, I prefer Supposed former over Jagged

I would love to see your reaction to her singing uninvited live. She performed it on the Grammys once I believe
Great review!
You kinda think Kelly might be numb to the privilege of doing this kind of thing at this point having sung with so many icons but of course Alanis released this song when Kelly was a kid so I bet she still thinks back to what young non-famous Kelly Clarkson would think of her now dueting this song with someone she probably idolised. I guess even when you’ve done it all sometimes you have to pinch yourself.

Oh this duet was everything, i loved it. I would have never guessed they sang for a whole hour 🙃🤣 too. I had no idea that video was 😢so long. My roommate tried to tell me it wasn't and she is now blocked. Lol
😂 the final stage of eveloution is finally loving Alanis hahaha
It's funny that you never heard the "go down on you" line. The radio edit said, "Make out with you." All true fans knew how dirty the line really was.
This was a great episode.
You outta know 😬❤️❤️
Hey, I basically mimic alanis voice, I feel like I'm too nasally bc I'm not alanis. Should I just not care or try to not be so nasally 😭😭😭
I’m a head over feet kind of guy. Angry Alanis is fantastic and all but sometimes you just wanna be sweet… but also narsty.
In other news, I was today years old when I found out that Head Over Feet invented the phrase Friend with Benefits.
Man, I should really get on the vocalease karaoke this weekend
Icons. ❤

As always i think you understand voice and music on a higher level.
Queen KELLY!!!❤
❤
Breakaway is so good but it's originally an Avril song.
iconic ironic lmaoo 🤣😂
Please react to lady gaga and bruno mars singing live together :)
I think we all should have achieved this same apex of love for Alanis at LEAST when Kevin Smith made the decision to cast her as God, if not in the year 1995 itself. But I'm willing to make allowances for those who weren't fortunate enough to have been born as a Gen X/Elder Millennial, as I was.
my fault for being 4 years old in 1995 and i apologize
@SamJohnsonVoice Haha! No apologies! There's just so few things we can flex and this is one of them, along with experiencing Nirvana's "Nevermind" album in real time. Oh and also living through Thriller-mania as 3-7 year Olds. It was an amazing time to grow up in terms of music ❤️
The English language makes no sense... Great analysis as always, Sam!
