Alanis Morissette - Dear Prudence

[@peacewithin7]

I think that Morissette belongs to a different generation that need not change the world but rather change herself, and Alanis is a great exmample for that. She is always expanding and growing which is reflected in her music. We can not change the world, but we can change ourselves and become examplars.

[@jeffrynick]

Absolutely the best cover of this song ever done, with regards to Siouxie Sioux.

[@WhiskerWhippers]

I watched this live back in 2001. Still watching in 2020

[@dbright34]

WOW!! I was just blown away!! A fantastic version of my favorite Beatles song! This is a keeper.

[@triton7654]

She does a great job on this. Love the ending.

[@Sladkey83]

Absolutely the best rendition I've heard. Thank you Alanis for your perception.

[@NJFLIPPER]

Fantastic! This is such a great song to cover. She's Amazing!

[@russellsticklor516]

This performance gets me every time.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

One of my favorite songs, and I think she did a great version of it.

[@kerrianderson106]

Oh yes John Lennon honesty and passion the depths of love yellow submarine maybe maybe not thought provoking always my style and family come first. Brilliant Mrs Alana. morrissette we are all people be kind is always the message of brilliance kerri

[@roo7227]

I remember being 10 or 11 years old and listening to this song, over and over again, in my older brother's room, on an 8-track of the beatles greatest hits.. So mystical, and beautiful.. Nice cover, as well..

[@The1Nuk]

I have loved her since I can remember, her creativity is amazing. Ever since day one, she has made an impact on the music industry. She does a superb remake of this song. You can tell by her voice she believes in it, she loves it. Not just someone trying to mimic the legendary J.L.

[@Katchka1]

I saw her perform this LIVE at that TRIBUTE for John in Radio City...and it is awesome. Great to find it here, again. Thanks for posting.

[@beckyhughes5197]

Yes-Now that really is/was beautiful. My husband's fave BEATLES song too! Great job!

[@newt0830]

that was great - 'we can work it out" at the end another great lennon-mccartney song

[@tamo51382]

you must be the greatest artist to perform such a great song of legendary BEATLES!yeah she deserves enormous aplaus!!!!ALANIS IS INCOMPARABLE!

[@KnEpH131]

She nailed it!

[@laxgrl12387]

I saw her live at radio city in sept and she was nothing short of AMAZING I love her and all her music

[@yancybutler]

Alanis is just amazing...Her own work and surprisingly her cover songs as well. I mean come on...Her my humps was the most amazing thing like...ever.

[@rbl4641]

Great performance by awesome Alanis!

[@TolaLeone]

Love Alanis!

[@albangel1689]

Most beautiful performance by the most beautiful!

[@darrylcc2003]

Thanks for posting her redention of this classic song ! I have been looking for this for a while !!

[@billpstr]

what a great rendition of a great song, she is so professional and so beautiful

[@Rominaleis]

What a wonderful artist!!! She can do the cover she wants and it will be perfect because of her voice, her actitude and her talent as an artist. One day i hope see her again in Argentina.... Could be possible?

[@bwaycraz3d84]

The best Dear Prudence cover ever!

[@gdrugg2006]

I like all the "experimental" elements that she added in her version. Pretty interesting stuff!

[@littlebuddyd]

Mind altering just like the first time I heard it!

[@unclejay1973]

Absolutely phenomenal! Superbly done, John was definitely listening...

[@StringersLogic]

Caught you at Musiqueplus with my then 13yr old. You and your were FAB!!! TY

[@punishedexistence]

Comin from a true beatles song, I give this my full approval; Alanis is just f'n amazing here.

[@CrackinWax]

My all-time favorite song performed by a fantastic musician.

[@kevonfoderingham]

just amazing....she did justice to it

[@yancybutler]

Alanis being the best selling female rock artist of all time and having 7 grammy's under her belt under at under the age of 30 is pretty admirable. Besides she is such an artist her her own right. Just take a look at her lyrics to songs like "Still" and "Symptoms" not a typical pop star.

[@Noruego]

amazing cover!!!! one of the best Beatles covers ive seen, really nice!!!!!

[@FreeSpiritWriter]

well done, beatles tunes are timeless

[@FreeSpiritWriter]

thank you Andrea

[@zelpho3]

A good song for anyone wanting to re-aquaint themselves with the world.

[@dautbrm]

lovely beatles songs are just unforgetable

[@54spiritedwill54]

What a beautiful cover! Alanis is great!

[@shakedownstreet48]

Born in 1974, i was in full addiction to booze and drugs at that time. Man!!!!!!!!, Clean now but how certin years just bring you back.. Great Cover by the way.

[@billpstr]

what an amazing energy blast from a truly beautiful being

[@Debbyhome]

Damn! What a voice! Excellent job.

[@MrDaveyBrown]

she's pure grace.

[@tjwilliams7566]

Great cover, beautiful

[@eddobanks1]

1969 - Wes Montgomery "Mother Nature's Son" - a beautiful rendition of the song. I've been looking for it for years. Can't find it.

[@Menelas74]

Alanis rocks and this is a great version

[@SunTeleLeo]

I adore this woman and the beatles

[@ghbeatle]

Alanis nailed this one. Love We Can Work It Out at the End. John would've loved this.

[@juanmatube99]

Gret version! Greay voice! Great post!

[@TheJamac23]

`You are so right. Best cover of this song

[@samenzwering]

At 2:04, I fell in love with her. Such grace, such control and pleasure and so much respect for this beautiful song.

[@lilmrmngrl369]

I saw this whole tribute when it aired. out of all the covers, i think she did the best job. then again, she is my favorite artist, so i may be biased. well done though, i like to think.

[@Yokonono99]

I love both Alanis & The Beatles.

[@PetiteChampignon]

Great Cover.

[@kherri]

excelente ,,,una Diosa

[@Zepster77]

Well done, faithful cover.

[@newt0830]

@lilstewie86 actually paul assisted in the lyrics since he too wanted prudence to come out. as most songs in 1968 john and paul contributed in various degrees. john obviously wrote the structure while paul gave his advice for john to accept or reject.

[@MST3Kfanatic]

i think this is a great cover & i can't see at this date everybody not knowing who wrote what song, but better still think of the exponential(sp?) arc of songwriting sophistication that the beatles achieved in 10 years (1959-1969)that is unlikely to even be challenged, never mind bested.

[@crazydiiamond]

increíble..

[@MrMajorTime]

Not EVERYONE feels the audience's adrenalin surge, amplifying the homage she generated here! Some can't identify the color indigo either, but it IS THERE nonetheless! I remember this was televised "live", on a bigger screen. There is a startling transfiguration, (watch her metamorphosis as she BECOMES Prudence: austerity melts into sublime realization) an aura of the spirit of John that she generates as medium, within an eyeblink shared with the audience. It won't be found in clinical analysis!

[@seasonsoflife]

me gustó mucho!

[@CarlEvz13]

great cover i enjoyed it

[@frenchytouch]

very very good job!

[@MrShamrock77]

awesome!!!

[@shellysstuff]

alanis is awesome! :-)

[@JoanaLennon]

@neonsharpie this is a tribute to John Lennon. this song is by John/beatles :)

[@Stoirmeacha]

Hell yeah they did!!!

[@stevenrvarney]

Awsome!

[@kwkable11]

For those of you that like jazz like me, Jeff Lorber did a kick ass jazz rendition of this tune also.

[@tsbelmudez]

It's about time somebody did this song right!!!

[@rhythmson4]

Definitely different! Not sure it needed that UFO sound the whole time, but the electric guitar solo really fit. I thought she sounded into it and good.

[@gbfeather]

@lilstewie86 OMG, you have the biggest humor, too! You've made my evening!

[@MrMajorTime]

Appearance is the cooly controlled technician at 1:18, adjusting her microphone (some of this was subconsciously calculated as reasonable, professional, contrived effect). Facial expression evolves. After 5:00, once she warmed up, even SHE could barely contain her elation at nailing this so well! She went far beyond ANYONE'S expectations in a live performance, encountering something that rarely, magically occurs, moment when audience and entertainer connect, AMPLIFYING performance exponentially!

[@tellmefast]

diosa del cielo

[@whitestripesnut333]

@TheFLASHHHHHHH for someone who says "life is very short & there's no time for fussing & fighting my friend" you're sure doing quite a bit of it. It's a decent version. I am not sickened nor am I blown away. I don't feel any emotion when I hear her sing it which is the opposite feeling I get when I hear The Beatles sing this beautiful song. Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on this song & any other out there, I don't care how many times you post you are not going to persuade anyone!

[@mothulicka]

check out the bass line in the Across The Universe version of Dear Prudence, real crunchy!

[@solwolfpunk]

superb

[@yancybutler]

she has served as a major inspiration to the female artist that don't pander to sex to sell art-again 7 grammy's , the biggest selling album of a female rock artist etc. As far as comparing to the beatles no-but again if you look into her past what you hear on the radio you will see there is substance-read those lyrics I provided. it's all in the words man.

[@killingracists]

Though I don't like her version of the song, to be honest, I consider she's one of the most charming and spectacular female singers of all times!!!

[@tammyrocheleau9532]

THIS IS ALANIS FUCKING PHENOMINAL!

[@tiana1017]

I like siouxsie and the banshees version and also alanis version is very beautiful as well

[@raskolnicoff]

alanis is a true artist...thats the fact...nothing else to say

[@yancybutler]

@LoveBlainezz Alanis. John has a pretty ordinary voice-amazing writer ordinary voice. Kind of like dylan in that sense. Another reason I kinda dig The Alanis version is that I'm familiar with her work and think it's as lyrically relevant. Yes I said it. lol Seriously with songs like "Symptoms" and "Still" you can see that lennon and Morissette where like mental siblings.

[@rorycowieson5924]

@samenzwering my favorite part of the vid too

[@birdiejoehoaks]

holy shit, this was on the WB

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

like it!!

[@MrMajorTime]

Reminds me of a niece that tested my patience...

[@raskolnicoff]

she´s a great artist...in the future she ´s going to have her only tribute

[@maothegreen]

we can work it out !!

[@sookocle]

Great cover, did not butcher it, put her talent to make it her own, and make a relatively unknown Beatles classic better known by those not born until 20 years after The White Album. Great rendition of a truly great studio Beatles song.

[@MoveOverCasanova]

whenever i see alanis morissette i think of a straight jacket

[@asap3d]

She caught the moment..... CAN YOU?

[@newt0830]

@lilstewie86 excuse me....im quite aware of the different styles perse...their different styles enabled them to construct a songwriting dynamic which u see in from me to you, we can work it out and birthday all of which were collaborations of some degree.Was Back in the USSR primarily writtten by Paul...obviously. However was John consulted and contribute to some degree ...YES as paul as repeateled said...was it 30%? 35%....3.5%...we will NEVERknow..surely you don't....so why debate it.

[@yancybutler]

@LoveBlainezz I think it's better in a listening sense. I have to give cred where it's due of course so all respects to the beatles...but Alanis just...has a voice.

[@Red-fv4bi]

Why isn’t this on Apple Music/Spotify?

[@yancybutler]

@Kaneownzu why's that considering she isn't really an artist that sells her soul to be on the cover of every magazine etc? Fame doesn't seem to be of much concern for her.

[@spontekk]

Souxie and the Banshees did this the best!

[@assmunch42na]

Nice cover, not my fav but very nice :) ty for posting

[@whitestripesnut333]

And I am not one of those people who think that no one should touch a Beatles song. I was excited when I found this video, I love the Bealtes & I usually love Alanis.I was disappointed when I heard it. That is my opinion, it's not a fact! I do not expect to change your thoughts on this song or anything else! I guess what I don't understand is why you are so angry that some random person on KZbin doesn't agree with your way of seeing/hearing something.

[@gork12]

@kwkable11 you man just made my night. Cheers from rio de janeiro
