shes hard on your eyes. not my taste

[@melissa0987]

She is just freaking amazing! No one like her! She must be at least in her late 50s by now? She sounds like she did when she first released this song. Many singers lose their voice and it's sad. We still love them though. But Alanis just never lost it. You go girl!

[@blakemrolfsensanchez547]

What? She is 49 years old. Late 50' my ass

[@rodgercurtis4386]

Alanis is a raw and pure talent in every way, her sense of realism and sensitivity toward the world as she sees it comes through in all of her music. She does not write or sing to please record publishers, she performs art for everyone to appreciate. A very unique and switched on lady with a remarkable voice.

[@jessicajacobsz3197]

She is still my favorite. She has such an amazing voice and stage presence.

[@Ravenx26]

It is not just a song, but a lesson and art from another dimension.

Not quite. She was off more than once. Funny you brought up the weakest part of this performance // which is otherwise very artistic....emotionally charged and generally - successful

Jeeziz..every time I watch her sing..just the joy you see in her unleashing that voice.. makes me well up every time. And her microphone technique is excellent.. She’d blow the speakers if she stayed on it..such a powerful vocal that doesn’t pitch out

[@mb56436]

I’m glad you mentioned that It’s called microphone modulation Something most singers have no clue about Most singers, who know how to modulate, don’t turn to the side, though they lift their heads up, or just move back

[@tothelighthouse9843]

Wow. Stellar performance. Alanis feels this song in a different way now.....but she still feels it! Thank you, Alanis, for all those years you helped me keep on keepin on 💖💖💖
