[@nonya7904]

I just saw her at Apollo Theater on December 2nd performing Jagged Little Pill album in acoustic. She has such an infectious energy! I love her personality. Such an intelligent, and truly kind hearted soul. She has that vibe that's truly hard to find in people, and really sticks with you and is inspirational. Also sounds AMAZING live..no lip syncing. Gorgeous inside and out!! Thanks Alanis for the great music, book recommendations, psychological knowledge (from podcasts, her music, and books), humbleness , maturity and the extra kindness you instilled in me through my time following you as an artist. I'm 22 and been listening to you since I was 14. Wish I grew up in the 90's and saw you in concert !
