Alanis Morissette Perfect

[@GusanMeier]

alanis wrote this song when she was healing from the anorexia that was consuming her body... its a rough song, a great song, a PERFECT song, i love her son much, shes such an inspiration and shes the one that makes me want to never give up... ALANIS YOU'RE SIMPLY THE GREATEST!

[@Watchhersss]

Amen sis 🙏🏻

[@robertpreville491]

I love Alanis, her jagged little pill album is my all time favorite, all songs have powerfull and meaningfull lyrics for me, i must have listen to it a zillions of times, it helps me also got through, and today, some 25 years later, I still sing ang listen to that album. So many emotions in those songs on that album, it went with my own rage at that time. I shred tears more than once on her song, and during her concert, i have rarely felt so much vibrations, so liberating. Thanks Alanis and thanks for sharing this video.

Masterpiece album

[@solea1382]

Oh my.... Every parent needs to listen to this!

[@annaf3915]

I do... but it's so damn complicated. My 6 year old son gets in trouble at school for refusing to do any work at all even though he understands everything. And I think I resent him for a) making me look like a shit parent because I can't get him to do his homework and b) not feeling the pressure I did when I was his age and c) for making even his behavioral therapist believe that the reason he's failing at school is because he is gifted when I know we checked his IQ before enrolling him in school and its a very normal 99. I think I hate school more as a parent than as a student. And that means something.

[@deandeck]

@@annaf3915 Any update? Having kind of the opposite problem. Over-achieveing, stressed-out kids I can't seem to make them care a little less about grades.

[@annaf3915]

@@deandeck Nothing has changed really. At the moment I try to care less because he flies off the handle whenever I ask him to do any kind of school work and it's affecting our relationship and also his little brother who witnesses all the shouting. I told him if he wants to repeat third grade, it's up to him, I'm done arguing and explaining. That seems to have helped a bit. The other day a friend of his who is more of an anxious type came over for breakfast and was getting really nervous about being late for school. My son still wouldnt hurry up and kept on playing by himself, so I just walked his friend to school and left him behind. I guess his friend and maybe the other kids from school gave him some kind of talk because since then, he insists on going to school by himself and leaves on time. Good old peer pressure... He'll also get tested for ADHD but I don't think that's it. So, you have the opposite problem. Do you know why your kids are so comcerned about school? Are they competitive in all areas or afraid of bad grades?

[@MelohneeeSofeh]

A friend sent me this song after having had a horrible fight with my mother and it's really touching and reaches my heart. I see my mother depicted in this song, I changed very much just to please her and really I shouldn't. She says it's to help me, but..bringing me down and making me feel the absolute worst isn't going to help. Bringing me to tears isn't helping me. So people Stand up for yourself, I promised myself I would I believe all of you should and love for yourself for who you are!

[@alrune8]

I was 14 when this came out. More than 15 years later, this song didn't lose any of its power and still brings back memories. It's such a great way to express how society today expects people to be perfect.

[@ashers303]

She´s simply great. If you hate her so much, why are you listening to her songs? You can´t deny her talent and incredibly honest lyrics.

[@thewaybackmusic]

One of my all time favorite albums. Had a friend that died in a car wreck the Summer this album came out. They played "Mary Jane" at her funeral, which was one of her favorite songs. Can't listen to that song to this day, without getting teary eyed. Alanis' lyrics are so genuine.

[@Babyndally007]

"Be a good girl you gotta try a little harder...that simply wasn't good enough to ake us proud!" Never say that to a child!! This song means soooo much has so many hidden meanings! WOW!

[@emmapples]

i listened to this song as a young girl, kicked out of home at 15, living alone, but trying to be strong, and it really did make me think about things, made me realise i was not the only one who felt that way, and helped me through, its silly to say, but music like this really is food for the soul, and there is no way i could of listened to a justin beiber song and had the same feelings !

[@TheOhannah]

Sometimes is never quite enough If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up Make me prouder How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem, why are you crying Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are If you're perfect

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

Gary Montague-Fryer A haunting ending for some.

[@sk81092]

I love the way she's writes her own music to express her own true feelings, yet so many people connect to her music. Genius. :)

[@Stakegirl]

My mother was like that towards me. Our relationship was quite strained because of that and some other factors. The song has always held a bittersweet place in my heart.

[@cheeserockfan]

This is a glorious version of this song. So well arranged and a perfect example of just how beautiful a voice Alanis has. Stunning.

[@twentyzeroone]

Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful Alanis, the best record of the 90's... I'll never forget Jagged Little Pill, so strong and peacefull at the same time.

[@alanisfan85]

Superb just amazing. Truly talented artist who deserves to be around for a long time, and she will be. Her voice is flawless!!!

[@gusrod9]

One Of The Best Songs Shes Ever Made. The Lyrics are Amazing And She Sings The Hell Out Of It. One Of My All Time Favorite Songs. YOUR AMAZING ALANIS

[@admike01]

This song is my life. It doesn't matter what I have done in my life, I have never heard "I'm proud of you" from either one of my parents....only in cards. Everything I do is never good enough. They are always telling me what I'm doing wrong and tries to tell me what I need to do to be better. It doesn't matter how hard I try....I will never be perfect.

[@livegigscomau]

One of the greatest female voices of all time. Alanis you are absolutely amazing!

[@corneraddict]

20 years on, and it still makes me cry..

[@olivierpreziosa1707]

This, and "That I Would be Good"

[@murattarum8163]

Yirmi senedir aynı duyguyu banada yaşatıyor bu gavur hatun

[@thepowerman8952]

25 years on. It's agony, it's laced with hard nostalgia now.

[@EuropeanShulamit]

We love you just the way you are...if you're perfect. I got chills. Truly an amazing heart-felt song. You can hear the emotions in her voice. It always makes me cry because of my obsession with being perfect.

[@manuelzizek8200]

So simplistic yet so beautiful. My fav song from Jagged Little Pill. Too bad there is no music like this these days. Where singer doesnt realy try hard yet is so full of emotions and so powerfull

[@DrDeeez]

+Manuel Žižek I've written simple but beautiful just I'm invisible but yes alanis is unmatched

[@Galwaygrrl21]

I agree. This is an incredibly powerful song. I haven't heard it in years, but listening to it brings me back to all the times I cried to this song in high school. damn, man.

[@cvarruda]

OMG she's so perfect!!! Her voice is incredible!!!! It deeply touches my soul!!

[@jeanandbilly]

I cried when I first heard this song.Its so beautiful.Alanis has put a spell on me since 'Ironic'.I think I'll love her & her music for ever.I thank her for being around us.

[@Bretster2010]

A masterpiece that reaches deep into your soul. Wonderful, Beautiful and inspiring. An amazing fresh breath of air that makes me feel like I can fly.

[@maryprestigiacomo6844]

I don't think I have ever heard this song! I love it! She has such a unique and eloquent voice, I could listen to her all day!

[@Sarahlynn1304]

Holy shit...... I loved this song in my middle school days (this was one of my favorite albums) and I used to sing it at the top of my lungs. Now as a mom of two young kids, this affects me in so many ways emotionally. Damn, what a full circle revaluation!

[@mitoink]

love this sing. with all our shortcommings, there's always someone out there to fill us up and make us complete.

[@meireabreu2364]

Alanis, this song is very beautiful. Thanks for your great job.

[@aizomc27]

this song is one of my all time alanis favs, so poignant, and so personal at the same time, its gotten me through some tough times, and I have so much admiration for this woman.

[@ShayCat]

I LOVE how melodic her voice is in this song

[@2DOpus]

She sings the song on this recording far better than she does in the original. I love her voice here.

[@kae4321]

I think everyone can relate to Alanis' music at some point...she's awesome!!

[@claudika88]

A Alanis é lindaa, faz sucesso sem precisar apelar!!! AMO SIMPLISMENTE!!! ♥♥♥

[@arcticbushpilot123]

This song absolutely tore me up inside when I really sat down and listened to the lyrics. I went to school with a few kids just like this and I still wonder to this day what ever became of them :-(

[@treverpoulin7469]

Such an emotional track for me! So many good memories! Thank You!!!!

[@greggj95]

This song really touches me. Think back to your childhood and remember someone saying these things, but not so delicately, as to not hurt your feelings. Wonderful. Tammy

[@cheery-hex]

such a beautiful song. love this version

[@Snoiz]

Wonderful voice,great lyrics and pretty too! YOU are perfect Alanis! Love!

[@catwomanrhiannon6763]

This goes out to my beautiful daughter who is a healer like me. She's states away and young but I love her :)

[@paultrappiel9943]

@Angelo Lima Don't ya think?

[@maxpower4817]

Beautiful song with such powerful lyrics.They'll be playing this on KZbin and the radio in the next hundred years and beyond.Mark my words : ) May 2nd 2023.

[@joshuamacfl]

The story of our lives. We must be that in order to fit into those little colourful boxes next to society's shit. No sentimental days,no spontaneity,no carefree smiles towards the higher parts of the sky's depth,no moral values. So perfect.

[@MrSuperheli]

Hätte beinahe vergessen, wie gut mir Ihre Musik gefällt. Schön, dass man Sie noch irgendwo sehen kann ... Freude.......

[@eduardocahu9495]

Nossa, ouvia tanto essa música em 2006! Comprei o CD na época.

[@WillowandLillith]

OMG I totally cried! Her voice is amazing! I have always love her music! This is the first time I have ever heard this, It's Beautiful!

[@kmacmuzikmafia27]

"How long before you screw it up? How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up? With everything I do for you, the least you can do is keep quiet." Damn.

[@boiinterrupted]

the perfect goddess...seriously..beauty..brains..and she can freakin sing!! and one of the true artists around.... alanis i love you!!!

[@chiarettaocchidisole4872]

e' perfetta:), la cantante uau davvero, che brava:)

[@simonecrotti2524]

Allora fai apposta! Ahahaa. Lo sai che mi piace da matti!!! Questa è una bella "ballata" di Alanis. ....grandeeeee......

[@chiarettaocchidisole4872]

ahahahahahaha, piace tanto anche a me lei, le sue canzoni sono veramente bellissime, bravo comunque perche' lei incredibile

[@simonecrotti2524]

E siii. Brava tu che vai a ripescarle...

[@chiarettaocchidisole4872]

:*

[@LostinDreams5]

Her voice is so beautiful in this song. I love her music

[@Krzyszmierski]

Dear Alanis Morissette I just love You - that's all...

[@taylorklie]

This song is absolutely beautiful and will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope alanis never stops making music.

[@filippobendini]

The more good singer since 1990

[@frododarg]

dont think an artist and album ever had so much true raw emotion and feeling

[@keyur2611]

Parents usually want their kids to do what they couldn't. And your wife/gf usually wants you to do what their ex couldn't. They want you to be perfect "in their eyes". Tell me, what do you want to be?

[@ethanedward01]

keyur just be you

[@Cecelovesbirdie]

Wow love this comment

[@RosieAndCo]

I used to listen to this song as a child when I was going through really hard times . . . and listening to it now brings it all up again! Her words are so powerful! They really speak to the heart!

[@cglawrence]

always love this song. Stop pushing. How about loving me for me? How about loving me period? I just want a mom and dad. not a fucking yard stick to measure my performance every fucking day.

[@sallyewing3185]

I know..my mother EXACTLY

[@benb.4050]

This song is... perfect. Great artist. The last words: "we will love you, just the way you are, if you are perfect" sum it up. Speaks to many of us as parents and/or son/daughter

[@petezereeah517]

I heard an interview where Alanis says she still cries when she hears this. Britney Spears destroyed this talent industry. It's all about sex appeal. Now we have Taylor Swift and Grande. Damn shame.

[@YevKassem6288]

I've wanted to post something to this effect for months and not had the words. Alanis is a transcendent, generational musician. Hurrah for you both. Thank you

[@robynstewart1983]

I heard that int`view and agree with your comment 100%, but it is what it is, and i bet she'd agree too.

[@leannasanchez1818]

Britney Spears is only one person. You really think one person ‘destroyed this talent industry’? The entire talent industry?? Lol

[@JusticeLoveandPeace]

Just as amazing as when I first heard it over ten years ago!! One of the best songwriters ever!

[@GaGaBjork1996]

I know my mom loves me, but she does this shit to me ALL the time. and the worst thing is that she doesn't really understand she's doing it. maybe i should play this song for her... make her understand.

[@twentyzeroone]

osea: Hermosa voz, hermosa canción, hermosa Alanis, el mejor album de los 90... Nunca olvidaré Jagged Little Pill, tan fuerte y pacífico a la vez.

[@Franaflyby]

What it all comes down to... is I haven't got it figured out just yet... who does?

[@FoolyLiving]

I did once, but then it all changed again. Can't have anything figured out for more than a little while at least.

[@Ariasan]

What an amazing song... it's my first time hearing it and I have to say I'm really moved. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@Cecelovesbirdie]

Ahaha cant even sing to this. Voice is so choked up

[@anime43v3rTT]

I think this sounds a lot better than the regular version. It really highlights her voice. :)

[@chiarettaocchidisole4872]

la canzone e del 2007?

[@simonecrotti2524]

La canzone fa parte del mitico album jagged Little pill del 1995/1996

[@chiarettaocchidisole4872]

altro che 2007, e di 8-9 anni prima, quindi di 18 -19 anni fa' come passa il tempo, non ci credo! sono praticamente a bocca aperta, incredibile, sembro quasi inconscia della realta', ahahahahahahahaha, e' normale andare avanti ahahahahahah.

[@kittenkate]

I haven't listened to JLP in so long that I've forgotten about this song. I remember listening to this over and over when I was a teen and completely relating to it.

[@Muirmaiden]

Unforunately, a lot of parents do have this attitude . . . . I read somewhere that perfectionists have miserable children, and I think that's true. Perfect just doesn't exist, and people like that are incapable of loving themselves, so how can they love others? And expecting your kids to live out your own childhood dreams even if they don't want to is very deluded and harmful. It makes me think of stage parents who want excellence no matter what but their kids suffer because of it.

[@andcandoli]

Beautiful voice!I'm a big fan of Brazil! I love this song!

[@yogavnture1]

Love this beautiful song & artist!! Still here 26 years later :)

[@JackalopeBunny]

I love this song. It shouldn't be beautiful, but you realize what the song is about and realize that you don't need to be perfect to be happy. Just be who you are to find happiness.

[@lotusmarilyn2825]

We re so lucky we have such artists!!!!

[@GosarX]

omg i love this song! my aunt and i used to sing this all the time till she passed away a couple of days ago! :*( i LOVE you Donny!

Best song ever.... so got me through my 20s... thank you for sharing that I wasn't alone... JahBless

[@AnnMom1]

This a great song. Man there are so many new tunes up. It's good to hear this though. She has a very welcoming voice no matter what it seems. Well this song started stuff for her anyway. This is one of the best versions I've heard.

[@ihavefaith4ever]

In the future when I have kids I'm gonna name one of them Alanis. This lady always made me feel proud and to stay strong during Cancer Treatment I had.

[@Whatiwouldntgive]

Hindsight is always seen with perfect clarity. The vision is 20/20. One day, she will see. That day, youll know it was all worth it.

[@jharvey7497]

The fact that Alanis actually improvised these lyrics at the age of 21 defines her completely, out of this world.

[@Nikodaddy1]

This is one of her best song.I love her. She is not just some beauty .girl.She have also brain,talent and big heart
