Even her speech can turn into a song. Her vocabulary is very wide... Shes really poetic and a true artist.

[@joncampos5551]

Agreed. Canadians speak English beautifully. It’s a shame the language has deteriorated so much in America. The word “which” is not used properly anymore, as an example.

[@dolitsaoriordan4844]

Exactly my thoughts...

[@raisa_cherry33]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 everytime her mouth opens,its just mindblowing to hear her talk!

[@waynej2608]

I could listen to her for hours. And, she's easy on the eyes, 'which' certainly doesn't hurt.

[@lucianbga3356]

Alanis truly is an icon! She inspired a generation.

[@aico564]

couldnt imagine growing up without her albums

[@JanaStambaughTejason]

Yes! Alanis has got me through much,with Blue October💖

[@eleanor4759]

Her philosophies and intuition and wisdom and thoughtfulness have brought me more genuine peace than anything else in my life and I only found her work 1.5 years ago 💚

[@91savey]

"All the women who go to work who are sensitive and terrified" that hit home.

[@AoibheannDoyle-SoulTherapist]

Me too!

[@sparklingdaisy3169]

Definitely. I'm terrified whenever I'm surrounded by a lot of people. And I have to because Im in college. I have to brave the storm so to speak. I try to come across as tough and that nothing affects me. On the inside I'm scared that I'll mess up and someone will make fun of me, that I'll look stupid. I've been made fun of me whole life. I try to be myself, it's hard to so when a lot of people including my family try to tell me who I am. They've been drilling that into my head for so long that I start to believe all of these horrible things about myself. I'm working on it but, it's going to be a long process.

[@jollyjokress3852]

That's also me. I can so relate to Alanis. I would be the same on that stage also.

[@tezzanewton]

It happens to us blokes too.

[@cosettelaplante699]

She's beautiful, articulate, honest, and humble.

[@Gjunkie08]

'Jagged Little Pill' definitely deserves all the acclaim it gets but 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' is her absolute masterpiece!

[@michaelbryant5833]

RIGHT!!!

[@thiagorodrigues8453]

Agree

Yea!!! I would read the lyrics without the music sometimes. That album was amazing

She is humble and very smart woman

[@gavinrodgers3003]

She NEVER changes!!! So gorgeous and such a powerful speech. The audience was a lil quite for having such an ICON making such good points.

[@wheresvincent]

They are taking it in

[@SuperToocool4skool]

It's rare you hear people candidly talk about fame like this. I love her ❤

[@sophiesilvestre2105]

AWARD HER SOME MORE, THIS WOMAN IS MAGNIFICENT.

[@CenteredlParentingTV]

This is possibly the most authentic speech I've ever listened to. Alanis is one of those women who continues to inspire and somehow makes being a woman at this time in history feel like a mission. It's is. As a mother of two teenage girls, I'm happy Alanis is part of the female landscape. Alanis, thank you so much for being authentically you.

[@greenpostdoc]

Angelina Hart Thoughtful passionate, insightful observations. Recognizes the same in others with the caveat that such people are largely taken for granted. To me they aren't and they are in substantial measure the greatest contributors to the "good" on this very troubled planet. Kudos to you and of course Alanis, a once-in-a-lifetime artist.

[@matthewschmoyer8552]

Alanis, you were the 90's for me. I blasted your songs and sang at the top of my lungs to your music, which helped me feel less alone in the world. thank you ❤

[@angeljiminez1290]

ive been doing it every since my dad showed me her back in middle school. and every day i love her more

[@sambone5588]

I love how vulnerable such a long-standing and iconic (sorry, Alanis) singer-songwriter can be. It's amazing that after such huge success, worldwide, a person can still be honest and grounded and represent something bigger than oneself. Major props for A.M.

[@MoroccanRose]

How can one not love her!!!! UGH SHE’S SO AMAZING I FCKNG LOVE HER!!!

[@loudloveen]

Alanis made me feel less alone in my late teens. I'll always appreciate her heartfelt music.

Goddess. Defined a generation.

[@alextmumumum]

I know there are celebrities etc in the audience but man they seem lifeless when she cracks her cute lil quirky jokes.

[@roddo1955]

Everytime she says '90's, I hear: whenever I think of the early nineties, your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday...

Madonna signed her so im not suprised at how strong and badass she is 😁

[@gabrielalmanza9433]

Madonna really saw the star potential in her. We stan two geniuses!!

[@josemmorales899]

She could be the same icon if she signed by other company

[@gabrielalmanza9433]

Jose M Morales she certainly would be great artistically, but Madonna’s business skills shoot her up to stardom, so no, it wouldn’t have been the same comercially.

[@josemmorales899]

@@gabrielalmanza9433 agree, but c'mon jlp is a great album, but maybe wouldn't have the same commercial impact or maybe could be better, we never know for sure, Madonna is a great artist and business woman btw

[@absisfabs873]

Jose M Morales nope because all other labels rejected her. Only maverick accepted her

[@flamboyantflamboyant5158]

shes my favourite female rock singer in the 90"S shes iconic! alanis is excellent in her craft as a singer and a song writer! another comebacking artist this 2020!

[@the_key_x]

Only Alanis can have an acceptance speech that doubles as a TEDx talk! Love her, always have.

[@gregorym8340]

She was nervous which made the speech kind of an awkward spectacle but she still spoke from the heart with courage and said what she wanted to say. She is quite lovely.

[@YerpDerp17]

Ironically, the nervousness is what grounded the speech. It made it authentic. It's the same authenticity that allows so many people to latch on to her music as if it was written about them. And not just during my time as a teen in the 90's, but even those same teens today. It's timeless, its honest and its simply human.

[@nnickgray33]

Its about time she gets recognition for her music

[@Bdrums2112]

She had that entire facility FOCUSED. The best. A true Icon!

[@emmahallinan81]

Why I admire her so much. The audience are quiet because a lot of people don’t actually want to hear their own vulnerabilities spoken out loud. She’s holding up a mirror. Many people are far too uncomfortable to be this brave.

[@efrencantu4732]

What a woman! I've been her follower and loyal supporter since 1998.

[@Rosannasfriend]

She really is an a lot of things that matter in this speech. Definitely saving this.

[@MundoDeFrankGarcia]

She is amazing, I love her power and her fearlessness. She is a great artist and human being ❤️

[@krystalrowan7934]

100% agree with you 😊

[@raisa_cherry33]

What a beautiful and touching way to describe her 😍💜💜💜

[@malcolmhales8181]

As a man watching a very talented and articulate lady speak, I feel engaged. I too feel scared, brave, quiet, loud, happy, sad, talented, stupid, loved and hated. But, that's what we are as humans. Alanis writes amazing songs that she sings amazingly, but I think we all have some connection to some of her songs. Could listen to her talk or sing all day. An amazing person.

[@Bonita.ch1]

GIRL DO U EVER AGE!!!! GORGEOUS!!!! ✌✌✌✌💕💕💕💕💋💋💋💋💋

[@HarleyChristo]

Alanis you're a leader

[@TheAmmie1981]

This is a very spiritual pure old soul. As a performer she is very good but as a human she is the best. She can put the feeling into words in like 5 minutes

[@krystalrowan7934]

My favourite singer and songwriter!! ❤ So very well deserved to win the Icon award!! Such a humble, intelligent, empathetic and authentic woman and human-being who wants to help and understand others so it's no wonder she is someone who inspires me and many others to be our authentic and raw selves unshamedly and in turn encourage others to do the same. You truly are an inspiration Alanis and Thank You for playing a part in my journey, healing and learning self love and acceptance just by being so open and vulnerable with us all ❤

I'm glad they gave her this award. It is do interesting what she had to say. Anyone can learn from her.

[@Cledyston]

It´s so funny to hear her talking about being labeled as "angry!" As a kid growing up in the 90´s that´s exactly how I would describe the rock/pop rock scene back then. I feel like all of us felt that way. There was so much anger and build up from frustrations that it poured into the musical scene . AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! It was all we needed. I feel like we were given an outlet. An inspiration. It all camew together. And all the male led bands did the same! So...Thank you Alanis. Jagged Little Pill is still one of my all time favorites!!! thanks for getting me ! I love you!!

I've always loved hearing her voice as a singer, but it changed me to hear her talk b/c she expressed the same honesty in speaking as when she's singing. I'm glad she didn't disappear and maybe created a place she wanted to be in this business. She's an incredible woman and I think the world has finally caught up to someone like an Alanis Morissette. #phenomenalwoman

I'm so happy she won this award! Truly deserving. Jagged Little Pill was such a game-changer in music. I was in awe when I first heard it in the 90s.

[@michaelpalos7378]

The Jagged Little Pill album I would have to say became sort of an anthem for young people (from 1995 to today) just trying to figure their lives out. From July to November 2018 (at age 21), I was going through this particular time and that album helped me cope. A year later I still don't know where I am headed but I know it will work out in the end. From one Introvert to another, congratulations Alanis. Also, does anyone see a resemblance to Molly Ringwald today?

[@loribadruswamy3674]

@Michael Paola: Alanis’ Jagged Little Album was definitely an album that helped me figure out things in my 20s- I think I was 19 and listened to that album the summer of ‘95 and the following year- in college, heard her album so many times in the dorm halls - have loved Alanis ever since 🥰
