Alanis Morissette- my number one favorite. Sure. She’s not the ‘pop princess’, she doesn’t have the ‘normal’ female pop/rock voice, and…she just isn’t the same as everyone else, but THAT is what makes her so amazing. I’m glad that she re-did Jagged Little Pill in acoustics, but there is NO WAY once so ever that it could ever measure up to the original ’angry Alanis’ version that I loved.

What do you think of Alanis Morissette and Jagged Little Pill?
 
Well since I work at Starbucks which is the only place that you can currently buy the CD, I have bought it and it is especially good. I am so happy with it.. The first version was just so RAW and emotion filled and it is interesting to see the reworking of the songs.

You Oughta Know is the best one on the CD as well as Head Over Feet but it is just a REALLY good CD and I reccommend you all head to Starbucks and pick up a copy.

I think I love you.

I adore Jagged Little Pill. Absolutely, positively, adore it. Possibly my fav album in my collection (as well as Hole's Celebrity Skin) however I do believe it overshadows her other works. Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept and So Called Chaos were outstanding in their own rights, but they never got the attention they deserved from living in JLP's shadow. However, in all honesty, I think to find Alanis at her lyrical best you should check out "Feast on Scraps" a DVD with CD. Not really an album but without a doubt her most awsome writing.
 
Alanis is a brilliant song writer and singer. Her music is so inspiring and she's so diverse. She has come a long way since her premature poppy bubble gum music and dance moves.

I have all her albums as well although I didn't feel the new Starbucks cd was worth it, mainly because I'm not into acoustic.

My favorite album was SIIJ, I really adored the songs on this! I adore all of her albums, each of them has a unique story to tell. She's a great artist though but I was kinda saddened when she cut off her long beautiful hair. :'(
 
On a tour of Europe each performance she'd cut her hair just a little big shorter herself. She said it was her way of no longer creating a division between herself and other people that her supposedly represented. It also marked a very big change in her musical style from the transition of Under Rug Swept to Co Called Chaos.

However, I fully agree what you said about her entire album collection. Do you have "Feast on Scraps"? It's not exactly a release but IMHO could stand as a solo album.

I never knew about the symbolism involving her hair. I was surprised how short it was. It just adds more depth to her and the style as you said.

I don't believe I'm familar with "Feast on Scraps." What is the song about? I do not own any singles of hers, just JLP, SIIJ, SUTR, SCC. I'll have to look for it.

Feast on Scraps was a DVD that came out after (I believe) Under Rug Swept. I read somewhere that the songs on it are those which were not included in URS (which is a major pity IMHO). The DVD is a live concert and the songs are taken from this, I believe, and remastered so you are hearing her sing live (despite that, if you didn't know I'm sure you'd believe they were studio). As you said, all her albums have a particular style: JLP was angry, SFIJ was etheral and almost spiritual, URS an emancipation (Precious Illusions personifies this) and SCC was contentment. Because FOS was supposed to be on URS, it flows into this vein of growing stronger over adversary. It's really difficult to explain but the sound and lyrics of songs are just amazing. My special favs are "Bent 4 U" and "Sorry to Myself". Definitely worth a check out.

P.s. Your av has me positively salvating. I should watch CI tonight and make some LJ Icons.

I'll have to check it out then. Anything of hers is worth the time and energy in searching for. I do remember about two years ago, she did a remake of John Lennon's song, I just can't remember what and it was performed live but it was so haunting and alluring to me, I wish I could remember the title. It was a concert to remember the late Beatle with various other artists.

Why thank you. ;) I've been on a cruel intention kick and I wanted a unique avatar. I had Shockwave size it up for me, so I have her to thank. I always thought Ryan was beautiful, especially in Cruel Intentions and I know what you did last summer, a wonderful actor.
 
I believe she sang "Dear Prudence" at that, but I could very well be wrong.

Ryan, I'm not sure about his acting talent, however I loved the character of Valmont. I also liked the fact you could see he was using John Malcovich for inspiration for that character once you watched Dangerous Liaisons.
