Alanis totally nailed the depth of emotion and utter devastation a person could feel when they are so totally in love with someone and are hit with the reality that the love is not reciprocated by the object of their affection! What a performance!!🎭
I played her tape...(yeah, I had a tape player, she's from the 90s people) over and over, just turning it over to play each side, or rewind if that's what I felt like doing. One day I walk out the room and the tape kept playing... this song appeared out of no where... WHAT THE F.... OMG.. I LOVE THIS SONG. Played it over and over, so glad I found her again. So glad I walked out the room. Imagine the people who didn't know it's hidden... So sad for them.
The word "wasn't" is where her unbridled joy was reduced to the thorns and thistles of heartbreak and betrayal. Haven't heard many other vocalists who can command such emotional impact. She totally changed the feel of the song in one word.
I remember the first time I saw this performance back in 96. All I remember was getting chills. The power and emotion in her vocal was unmatched. I became a fan in that very moment. I made my mom take me to go buy her album (back then there was no streaming lol). I am still taken aback by how astounding her voice is here.
Back in 1996 I played JLP over and over again. I loved Alanis and got so much enjoyment listening to her amazing record. She is three years younger than me and I marveled then and now at how talented and how beautiful her voice was/is. I loved this performance by her at the MTV awards that year!! Stunning . . .
Just found this again. Vocals... WOW!! Never gets old. Can't find vocals like this anymore since Amy Winehouse passed. Artists like these are a dieing breed. Thanks to the tiny pop music. And people wonder y I listen to music from the 90's and the early 2000's.
I agree with Justin as well. Remove the guitar and let her do that moment alone. Anyone who’s been through the terror of a broken heart to the magnitude of which she’s describing knows you go through it alone. Her a cappella version does the emotion of moment perfect justice due to the fact that she is doing it alone and completely exposed. Remove the guitar and leave it the way it was.
This song really fits alanis during this time.. Coming off "Oughta know" then this.. She really sounded like a psycho ex gf that will just stab your current girl drug your drink kidnap you..
Interesting projection. Your post paints you as one of those pathologically entitled, empathy-deficient, irreparably-broken males who call borderline females "psychos" because he lacks the most basic knowledge and education that psychopaths are incapable of feeling jealous...or any manner of emotional attachment...or love...or fear...because they're physiologically incapable of processing oxytocin, and almost entirely driven by ruthless greed. So, god help you if you ever possess the kind of wealth that attracts the attention of an actual female psychopath because if you do, she won't bother stabbing your "current girl" or drugging your drink, and when she DOES decide to off you for your wealth and/or insurance money she'll do it in such an icily calm, emotionless manner that you'll not only never anticipate it, you'll never see it coming until it's too late. Same is true for male psychopaths...charming AF...zero jealousy...all about draining your bank account dry and tossing your lifeless carcass aside as they move onto the next victim they bleed dry.
I thought it was incredibly ballsy to sing this song at the event (it was a bonus on the album, without band). It bothers me that she couldn't keep the rythm though. I still keep coming back to ninetees for songs lol, if the rhythm was right here it would be a gem for me. 90's the last era when you could actually hear a tune in most of the songs, and hum along. Too much of studio wizardry in music now for my taste but oh well, it's just business.
Then again when a year earlier she was pretty much unheard of and by this point she was (temporarily) the biggest star on the planet it must take some adaption. Let alone getting into the fact this is autobiographical rather than just singing someone elses words, and that must have influence.
such a beautiful rendition too bad everything is so politicized now tho i dont know and dont care but it wouldnt surprise me one bit if morissette has tds
She's so greedy and controlling in this song lyrics! The young man is trying to be gracious, giving and to share the gifts that the gods gave him with others!
This is one of the best songs on Jagged Little Pill, and the fact that it’s a hidden track makes it more special
I had it on cassette and omg the first time I heard it 😢
Do you know why it was hidden?
@@chicoplateado A lot of older albums have hidden tracks at the end as a little bonus
Not many singers nowadays could do this live and sound exactly like it does on her album.
She is a very good singer. Great emotional expression, handles her voice well, and she can really belt it out too, as she does here.
Becayse there are very few actual artists/singers in 2024.
@@JulStar13very true
Better without music her voice sends a chill through my bones I love her
Never heard a voice like that and don’t think I ever will she’s amazing
Gives me goosebumps 😢❤❤❤❤❤

When it hurts like hell.
"It wasn't my writing!!!" The most painful line.
If u didnt have the cd... u dont get... her vocals and and the acoustic on original are unmatched
1996...I was 21. Such a better time. Wow...the last 28 years have flown right by. Sad.

One of the best Grammy performances ever, along with You Oughta Know from the previous year
This was from VMA, not Grammy

Insane! I wish I could sing like that.
Brings back the memories

Great comparison. I never thought of the connection between her and Amy.
When the guitar came in, it gives me chills until now:)
I feel the same
It's so odd hearing it with background music , she sounds so Canadian in this performance, love it.
My instant love and i am repeating for x100 times.
What a voice she has. 💞
Still giving me goosebumps... still watching..22/02/2020
Literally goosebumbs too. And I watched it back then and many times.
Me now... A lot of goosebumps
Just saw her sing this live last week. Stunning
Ilove you somuch miss ❤
Omg what a vocal range
I love you soooooo much Alanis!
Awesome!!!!
I have absolutely no idea she performed this live.
The beautiful voice , the song i like so much, thank you alanis.
back when singers had talent
Simply perfection
ABSOLUTE CHILLS
Jagged Little Pill ❤. Mi CD 💿 de la universidad. 1996...
Comecei a gostar da Alanis por causa dessa canção.
So perfect!
Sad they must have insisted on the music. This song is so much more powerful acapella.
It's sort of cool with the back ground music tho.
I loved the guitars. That's why I searched this version
I agree Justin. Her unaccompanied voice is haunting and vulnerable...doesn’t need guitar .
YES.
I agree with Justin as well. Remove the guitar and let her do that moment alone.

Remove the guitar and leave it the way it was.
Alan is is awesome her and Fiona Apple
Aún recuerdo aquel día! 😍
amooo...
Love ❤
Gênio companheira irmã força companheira só por hoje companheira guerreira 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
wooooooooow! 😍😍🔥
The power...
Wow!
❤❤❤😭
My god, she is absolutely terrifying. But like in a good way

I hate that they added the music (not that the guitaristis bad) but it was perfect a capella 💔
I wish they didn’t add the guitar.
The guitar messed this song up, darn!

Still a few gems about who don't need any wizardry just take a bit longer to spot. Pink is amazing in my opinion xx
That’s what I love about the song, she sings it how she feels like that day, does it to this day with all of her songs
That's also called trespassing...but I understand!
😂
Her voice was great but she was rushed at the beginning
Agreed, probably the nerves. Still a badass performance tbh.
Guitar ruins it IMHO, Fabulous song and great singer but it was better without
Why the guitar.... it's supposed to be
such a beautiful rendition
too bad everything is so politicized now tho i dont know and dont care but it wouldnt surprise me one bit if morissette has tds
I wish someone would have told the crowd to shut the hell up. Such a powerful song/performance. Why crap it up with your whistles and cheers.
shoulda added an instrumental track like DNA did with Tom's Diner ;)
Hostetter ❤️
Very very unrated
no se merecía esa guitarra en el coro
She's so greedy and controlling in this song lyrics! The young man is trying to be gracious, giving and to share the gifts that the gods gave him with others!
