@Demonic Sweaters The most forward thinking, phenomenal TV show has less than 800 subscribers. I enjoy a few of the shows, but what a WASTE!! This year would have been a PERFECT year to bring back videos. NEW videos. They would likely be STUPID. A lot of “stylistic” (🤮) bull-shenanigans that made no sense to any but the pretentious, ridiculously disturbed director...quite like “abstract” painting where you throw paint at a canvas, give it a monumental, imposing, prodigious title that sounds dramatic and vaguely impressive, like...”The Stars Wept in January” (copyright “The Other Side”, all rights reserved...look for my future masterpiece or poem, or novel, or album)...blah blah, “The Stars Wept in January”, (or Demonic Sweaters!! Good One!!!), make up a story about watching your Father drown a bag of kittens, and watch it sell for millions. (WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THAT tomfoolery ? (Sorry...I just love that word. 😮😲🙄😁😁😁). My point WAS...I agree, but it would have been a GREAT year to revamp, and the whiny little Reddit Doctors (you know, the teens diagnosing each other with personality disorders and sociopathy after reading a few Reddit posts...likely by other whiny teens 😠😡🙄🙄🙄🤮 admit it...you know a few! ) would be SO into w.e. nonsense they slapped together the night before, while watching Seinfeld reruns.
+Peter Newturkey She couldn't have responded more graciously! Who cares about the hair when you have all that valuable information coming out of that 20-year-old proper genius?
Peter Newturkey what's funny is the wavy/curly texture of her hair was the perm she had in her pop years. Probably the only part of her pop career that survived into the JLP era
If we could reverse engineer her brain, the world would be pure bliss. Such a clear, generous thinker. She's unattached, powerful and a total artist. More of her, please.
Makes me want to consult my dictionary...seriously! She's more impressive than I thought. I'm inspired to write more now. Seems like she was really cultivated to be awesome from a very young age. Thank you for posting this.
well... to me this interview is really a heart-warming experience. I haven't seen this in full unto now, being a fan since the late 90s and given what I / we know about her career now her attitude at that time is really inspiring. it really breaks my heart (again) to know how she'd been / how she'd felt at the end of the JLP tour that was to follow :( ... still, knowing how she's grown to be the artist she is today, I often fancy the thought of having a time machine at my disposal, being able to be there at these occasions, giving her a high-five or a hug or something :-) so, yeah I second that!
That’s a pretty shallow statement, you being enamored with her looks and presentation. It’s extra shallow to pit women against each other to make some dumb misogynistic point.
I wonder how much the interviewers had listened to the album? A lot of us were blown away the first time we heard it. I’m an old man and I was old (relatively) when it came out. I was so shocked that a young woman was so self-aware, poetic and musically brilliant all at the same time. I still think it is one of the great albums of the 90s. When I think of the 90s I think of Nirvana and Alanis Morissette. Jagged little pill is an amazing album and she’s truly an iconic artist. I can’t wait To play this album again for my adult daughters.
Some of you will find it hard to believe, but MTV once really was a music channel, and amazing at times. This. Some utterly historic Unplugged concerts, that no outlet has ever been able to duplicate or match. I remember other interviews too - for some reason Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) jumps to mind. I remember starting in 1981 ... I remember all the original "Veejays" ... hearing the MTV "theme song" with the rocket ship animation, and literally being excited. It was a part of my life. Jump to the 2000s, and I wouldn't watch if you paid me. It really was special in that time gone by.
Alanis is one of the most inspirational people on this earth, hell, this whole universe. Alanis is my role model in life. Beautiful, well spoken and truly badass. Words just can’t describe my appreciation for her and I’m so thankful my parents have brought her into my life ❤️ And she even likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, she’s just perfect oh my god.
After serious thought I decided she is my favorite female artist. A close second is Sheryl Crow, both are talented in a super human kind of way to me. To me, impressive music has the "wow factor" such as I strived for when I was a professional musician myself. Greatness with being different and unique. Jagged Little Pill music is a winner in both writing and vocal delivery. Watching this interview now I am impressed with her beauty and personality. What a cool lady she is and deserves her success. I hope she can continue the quality of her "Jagged Pill" content in the future projects.
I thought the first interviewer was making stupid questions enough but then this guy came up and he was like “what are you wearing tomorrow”. Jesus Christ.
I miss being young too. So many do. I especially think of older people who are not as well anymore, have limited mobility and are in pain. I am grateful to have the privilege of getting older too though. Hugs
I was three years old when jagged little pill was released. I remember my step mother getting the album. Each listen only makes me appreciate it more. Alanis makes my heart feel warm. Such a powerful person, a hell of a songwriter, and just downright cool as hell. I loved this interview, outside of the dumbass, hair moving pause that she didn’t need at all.
I'm glad someone else noticed the interviewer seemed disconnected and asking over topics that Alanis already answered. She had consistently closed ended questioning with neutral or negative connotation.
awesome ---authentic ----simple---intellectual---introspective as she says ---we need more of this now ---thank you for your music--still love after so many years
This is the MTV that needs to be brought back with the videos and the interviews. I'm telling you there is a market Gen-X kids will see it and absolutely enjoy getting away from their Tik-Tok and other things that are not useful for their growth and be like I'm here for it
I LOVE that she stayed true to her band when asked about performing with Flea and Dave Navarro. Most singers, (especially young/up and coming), wouldn't have answered that way. She didn't even hesitate to say, "No,..." 17:12 Love her!
I have this theory that the industry was looking out for the next Alanis Morissette when they saw the direction her second album and subsequent tours were heading to… They wanted more of the angry punk rock and Alanis wasn’t in that place anymore so they quickly looked out for a replacement and they found this chick with similar vocal capacity, fabricated Avril the product with dark makeup, doll face, trendy clothes and accessories and everything, and put her on high rotation. When I started hearing about her I KNEW instantly people who have heard the singles and watched the videos of Jagged Little Pill shallowly without really listening or even buying the record or giving a follow up of her development would fall for the industry trap, and they did; and forgot about Alanis, the original style maker and influencer of that female post alternative era. She was already in another place and the music industry always wants money, flashy, younger, “sexier” and appealing things so they let her go and stuck with Avril and all of that “punk sk8ter boi” idiocy afterwards. Avril doesn’t even have her own style, since she’s not an original one she’s been jumping from sub genre to sub genre. That’s where you can point out where the authenticity remains. And agree with the comment she maybe has a good voice (again very stylistically similar to Alanis) but I have never ever heard of anyone talking seriously about any deep meaning to her lyrics or even music. It’s obvious her hits were written for her by other composers.
People are making comments about the interviewer. I thought she was fine. Did not come off as pretentious. Just very straight forwards questions that I loved hearing the answers to.
Is it weird how yrs later it’s STILL so damn annoying the producer interrupting AM because of her hair!? AM had such old soul yet was def ahead of her time. Elite artist & brilliant mind. ❤️ respect.
Oh, I forgot MTV used to be about music.

Wonder why they changed it :(
Yeah Right. I don't believe it. 😜
😂😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
It was a long time ago.
So well-spoken at age 21.
@Happy Thanos I was going to say the same thing. Have you seen her writing? lol
Yo a los 21 era un pelotudo y me la pasaba jugando Counter Strike y Playstation.
@Natasha Minor When release The New álbum?
24 year old women today act like they're 11
Natasha Minor we really were more mature kids in the 90s.
"This hair? I don't... Particularly care." L to the O to the L. Seriously. Why does that matter??? Just listen to the queen talk.
+Peter Newturkey I was thinking the same thing! :D
+Peter Newturkey She couldn't have responded more graciously! Who cares about the hair when you have all that valuable information coming out of that 20-year-old proper genius?
+michelmoutinhofr1 I can't believe they interrupted her for that shit.

Absolutely agree. They don't make 'em like her anymore.
And clear
@@NickyNicest clearly
She is such a beautiful writer and singer. Her style is so raw and real. I’m so inspired by her.
The way Alanis reels off answers to so many questions is just amazing! She is talented and humble....and that is a wicked combo!
She's so clever and well-spoken but also so down to earth. Wonderful woman with an amazing voice!
Makes me want to consult my dictionary...seriously! She's more impressive than I thought. I'm inspired to write more now. Seems like she was really cultivated to be awesome from a very young age. Thank you for posting this.
Indeed bro 😍👏
Man, I wish I could have a good sit down conversation with this woman.
well... to me this interview is really a heart-warming experience. I haven't seen this in full unto now, being
a fan since the late 90s and given what I / we know about her career now her attitude at that time is really inspiring.
it really breaks my heart (again) to know how she'd been / how she'd felt at the end of the JLP tour that was to follow :( ...
still, knowing how she's grown to be the artist she is today, I often fancy the thought of having a time machine
at my disposal, being able to be there at these occasions, giving her a high-five or a hug or something :-)
so, yeah I second that!
She's beautiful and super intelligent. What a difference from her generation and now a days in the way people speak.
U forgot underrated on point and humble. And what about that narrative?!?!?!
That’s a pretty shallow statement, you being enamored with her looks and presentation. It’s extra shallow to pit women against each other to make some dumb misogynistic point.
She speaks so eloquently!
And would she have your baby?!? Lmao
I'm sure she makes a really excellent mother. (Seriously, she has 3 kids now.)
You already won me over in spite of me.
I remember I had mad crushes on Alanna and Mariah back then. Both girls could really articulate their ideas very clearly. ❤
Her teeth are amazing. Always loved that smile

Iconic!

couldn't have said it better myself 👍
I know what you mean. MTV was huge to our formative years. I grieve for the impact it was on a large scale.
She’s gorgeous! So glad I discovered this amazing woman been listening to her nonstop ever since I discovered her 6 years ago!!!
:] i used to listen to her when i was young...like atarting at 4 or 5 young. Bc my mom would play her. I love her. She gets me.
Natasha Minor that sounds awesome! I wish I could have experienced that.
I listening to her way back in 1995
I love you Alanis. Thank you for all the music.
Alanis is one of the most inspirational people on this earth, hell, this whole universe. Alanis is my role model in life. Beautiful, well spoken and truly badass. Words just can’t describe my appreciation for her and I’m so thankful my parents have brought her into my life ❤️ And she even likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, she’s just perfect oh my god.
What a beautiful soul.
What a perfect description!
well, I'm not that into souls but I think she is an always has been a person I'd love to connect to :-)
Definitely one of the hottest female singers from the 90s. Miss her music on the radio.
Oh shes lovely, i love her very much, Her voice is awesome
"I don't really particularly care...." 🖤
she’s so beautiful omg
I wasn't this eloquent and composed when I was 21! That's part of her beauty! ♥
After serious thought I decided she is my favorite female artist. A close second is Sheryl Crow, both are talented in a super human kind of way to me.

I won't disagree. As far as greatest singing voice, Natalie Cole, but Alanis's first two records are two that I can not not listen to.
Also two of my favourites. For Alanis, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is my absolute favourite. For Sheryl, it's The Globe Sessions.
Hayley Williams
That first record was Ass kicking. She had serious attitude in her music!
wowww I love her!!!
She always will be my hero!!
I thought the first interviewer was making stupid questions enough but then this guy came up and he was like “what are you wearing tomorrow”. Jesus Christ.
WILLIER DAILY Absolutely!
I know right
This could be viewed as an historical artefact as we’re witnessing the birth of a 90s pop and cultural icon.
So intellegent, aware, fearless and honest, down to earth at that young age. Really love her music
My favorite Canadian of all time.....Her and of course, Terrance and Phillip.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her and Ellen Page
Steven Crowder
So eloquent, intelligent, beautiful and talented. I need a moment to deliberate• 🖤✨🌹
She is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Megalodon Unlocked get out of here!!! What is wrong with you?!
Megalodon Unlocked Troll!!!!
Incredibly poised, mature, and sharp for her age.
She is glowing....I miss being young.
You can still glow and not be young [: absolutely
Actually She still glows!!!
I miss being young too. So many do. I especially think of older people who are not as well anymore, have limited mobility and are in pain. I am grateful to have the privilege of getting older too though. Hugs
@@brianna_4040 it's not the same. You don't have the same freshness anymore. One day you'll see...

Legend. FINALLY GOING TO SEE HER July 6 2024 CANT WAIT !!!!! 🎶
She is AWESOME! Love her spirit and optimism. Love her even more now.
So incredibly mature, thoughtful and centered at age 21. Amazing person.
I freaking love her!!!!
such an icon!
I find her truly fascinating. She has always been a source of inspiration for me.
WOW. How someone becomes that well spoken so early on, I don't know. It must be hard to be a genius
she is a real champ sticking out this interview. almost feels like she’s being interrogated by the police lol
Shane Hagan people think that an interview is cold and calculated opposed to a way to connect with the person you’re interviewing.
I'm glad someone else noticed the interviewer seemed disconnected and asking over topics that Alanis already answered. She had consistently closed ended questioning with neutral or negative connotation.
Bow down to the queen. Been an obsessed fan since '94, I was 12... Loved her ever since. She's amazing & brilliant.
Love her laugh at the end talking about loving 80s music
Such a smart woman
awesome ---authentic ----simple---intellectual---introspective as she says ---we need more of this now ---thank you for your music--still love after so many years
She's a little underwhelmed in that interview or by that interviewer, even a little mean - I love it!
shes sooo stunning, intelligent and talented!! shes perfect 😍
Wow I should have known but I really had no clue that 'Jagged Little Pill' was the 20th best selling album of all time! Go Alanis!!!
So introspective at such a young age…wow!
She is just amazing. She has wow factor!!! So bad ass
She is exceptional.
Love her so much!!
wow she was only 21...
happy 44th birtthday alania morissette !!
This is the MTV that needs to be brought back with the videos and the interviews. I'm telling you there is a market Gen-X kids will see it and absolutely enjoy getting away from their Tik-Tok and other things that are not useful for their growth and be like I'm here for it
Iconic alanis don't particularly care:)
I really really LOVE her!!!! Xxxxx💕💕💕💖💖❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
“The rest is history” 25 years later, it’s true.
Wow ,. Such a beautiful young person...grown by herself ❤️
Such eloquence and focus in a 21yo!
My late sis was just her level omg and Alanis was her huge favourite,how they're same in terms of eloquence 😍💜👏
Dang shes so beautiful, wish she was my wife
MTV is the music channel way back then ... mis those days
She has been through SO much. She has simply continued to get better.
I LOVE that she stayed true to her band when asked about performing with Flea and Dave Navarro. Most singers, (especially young/up and coming), wouldn't have answered that way. She didn't even hesitate to say, "No,..." 17:12 Love her!
the way she supported her bandmates with this "wanna be " questions its amazing honest.
I saw her at the Academy of Music in NYC in early 96 I think. It was a madhouse and she was awesome!!
She was 21 years old here. Compare to how singers and celebrities today speak in interviews.
God, I miss those days!
Beautiful
16:42. priceless.
Boss needs to change its definition to Alanis Morissette
I looove her. This is so cool, an old interview. 😊💞
I see who Avril looked up to when she came out. Both remind me of each other.
Avril has a beautiful voice, but she’s not a good lyricist.
Avril Lavigne may have looked-up to Alanis but she could never touch her. Avril Lavigne is a poser, plain and simple.
I have this theory that the industry was looking out for the next Alanis Morissette when they saw the direction her second album and subsequent tours were heading to… They wanted more of the angry punk rock and Alanis wasn’t in that place anymore so they quickly looked out for a replacement and they found this chick with similar vocal capacity, fabricated Avril the product with dark makeup, doll face, trendy clothes and accessories and everything, and put her on high rotation.

She is divine
People are making comments about the interviewer. I thought she was fine. Did not come off as pretentious. Just very straight forwards questions that I loved hearing the answers to.
If you watch this and hear her speak and really don’t think she knows what ‘ironic’ means then I don’t know what to tell you.
She is so beautiful, my God! 😍
She is amazing
She's so gorgeous!
Fiesty, beautiful, interesting, and highly intelligent, creative woman!
thanks for uploading this
+Doug Graves YES.Thank you/ Merci ..nice to see this interview from the past . Kirk..in Montreal
I miss the 90's
She's so lovely. I love you, Alanis.
1:46: "I don´t really care" Well Said ! Like that was so important that he had to interrupt her.
This is what I remember growing up, mtv would be all music and give intimate glimpses into the artists music and lives
Is it weird how yrs later it’s STILL so damn annoying the producer interrupting AM because of her hair!? AM had such old soul yet was def ahead of her time. Elite artist & brilliant mind. ❤️ respect.
stunning looking woman !
They didn't realize how great she is. Very stupid questions, they wasted it
I will never forget my first car, (85 celica gt) doing burnouts and blasting JLP. Fav artist for sure.
she’s so gorgeous god damn she’s perfect
so sexy i wish i was taylor hawkins during his time with her
I was born 2 years before this happened and idk how to feel about that but Alanis just has that rather large phallic energy that I vibe with
She was very beautiful in this age. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
What a gorgeous woman
Omg she was such a baddie 😍
One of the most talented woman in music imo..theres also Bjork etc etc
Alanis ♥️🔝
She is amazing 🙏🎵❤️
Epic and uncut.
A prodigy
