FIRST TIME REACTING TO | "Uninvited" BY Alanis Morissette

[@elizabethwelner5550]

I think the best word to describe her voice is "ethereal".

[@danielmeyer1208]

Perfect

[@wheatthicks]

This is my favorite song by Alanis. This was the first song she released following the mind-blowing success of her album Jagged Little Pill (6 hit singles, 5 Grammys, youngest artist to go diamond, etc). I can’t imagine what kind of pressure she must’ve felt to follow up that album but she killed it. This song is a masterpiece.

[@mikewilliams1424]

Unfortunately no official video lol

[@stonemills1546]

This song was written for the movie (CITY OF ANGELS) with Meg Ryan and Nicholas CAge. After watching the movie the song really makes sense. He was uninvited!

[@Meganb1286]

Yesssss I love that you brought it up to think of the film and the instrumentals and her voice and lyrics it’s perfection

[@amyhuggins9920]

Yes Brit, she’s from Canada. It only comes out with certain words when she speaks and sings.

[@marieaug9322]

The scene for this song I dont remember exactly, but I remember the feeling and stunningly stunned attitude I had. It stuck with me.

[@douglasbriel6103]

That movie makes grown men cry.

[@JustatypicalMILLENIAL]

One of my favourite movies. Tbh all Nicolas cage movies are lol

[@wen-nz3sk]

Written for the movie City of Angels, very intense movie. She's our Canadian neighbor. AND WE ADORE HER!! ❤❤

[@douglasbriel6103]

There's emotional honesty in her singing not often seen.

[@jjalrey4134]

Alanis is Canadian. You should take a look at some of her first songs. You will be shocked by the difference.

[@TonyChandrjeet]

pop princess to global icon

[@Patriwoo1]

Alanis IS her own style for sure! The lyrics of this particular song is perfectly paired with the dark and moody orchestra, as well as her delivery of them! LOVE

[@Meganb1286]

Yesss this song is incredible what a banger

[@JCourts2k23]

I think…but some if not alot of them are about Joey from Full house from what i heard…

[@davidforestieri4784]

Hauntingly beautiful...this song ramps up the goosebumps

[@hz5844]

You said it - her vocals are incomparable.

[@WojMoj]

👏🏻👏🏻 She’s different different.

[@rbl4641]

This is an absolutely amazing performance-oh Alanis!

[@jayhegener3028]

If you haven’t done Thank U yet, you really need to! I’d recommend the official video since it’s iconic.

[@nindyhunt]

This song was done for the movie city if angels and it was a perfect pairing

[@llorona7847]

This is the reaction I’ve been waiting for since I saw you find Alanis! She is most definitely Canadian and, from what I understand, a national treasure. So happy you did this particular performance. The power in her voice is chilling. Love the confidence to belt out this banger of a song in front of a full orchestra knowing they wouldn’t drown her out. Who but Alanis could do it? When you described it as “what’s around the corner” I immediately knew what you meant lol because it’s difficult to put into words what she does with her voice. Thanks, again. Your reaction did not disappoint.

[@Scary__fun]

Alanis, Celine Dion and Shania Twain are all Canadian and were all at the top of the music charts in the mid-90s at the same time. They all have different styles and genres of music yet are all amazing singers.

[@4freebird69]

I would describe her voice as Hauntingly Dynamic

[@ocan355]

She is from Ottawa Ontario Canada. Ottawa is the Capital City of Canada. I am the same age as her and back in the day she was a teen pop singer. I still own her first two teen pop CD's. She sings this song about listening to Rod Stewart in rain . . . great song. That teenage nonsense was hushed up when she released the album Jagged Little Pill. Her voice and her music, rightly, and deservedly so, shot in to the stratosphere. Back in the 90's she did something that only a dreamer could dream of. She has been called "The voice of a generation." She does deserve that title. A little girl from Ottawa Ontario Canada. You don't get far on dreams alone. You get that far by working your and spilling her guts out. There is a long history of Canadian recording artists doing that. She made the biggest and loudest bang ever.

[@johnallen8646]

This is one of the most perfect LIVE performances ever ; PURE EAR CANDY !!! LOVE IT!!!

[@alliel9970]

She is Canadian! but she definitely has a unique vocal inflection that is so specific to her. Her live version of "That I would be good" is so pretty too

[@thebrhinocerous]

You know, being a teenager when she burst on the scene, she kind of was 'just another good singer' in a sea of great 90s bands and singers. It isn't until a few decades later that I realize just how amazing her uniqueness, songwriting, and voice really was. I liked her music and can sing a lot of her songs, but I feel like I missed out by not paying a little more attention to her at the time. Also, I accidentally say "Canadia" too sometimes. 😂

[@kimzwolinski9919]

It feels eerie to me for sure. It’s my favorite from Alanis. She doesn’t have a song I don’t like.

[@ericechols6056]

Alanis is from Canada, but when she sings her voice sounds has an Irish accent and overtone. Simply beautiful. This musical arrangement has certain segments & rhythms with the guitars and violins, that are similar to Led Zepplin's, 'Kashmir,' and 'All of my love.' Britt your hair is popping!!!

[@MJtheME]

Your analysis of Alanis's voice, music and lyrics is the closest I've ever heard to be able to put into words how her songs made those of us feel who grew up with relationship angst in the '90s. Her "Jagged Little Pill" was probably the fastest CD purchase I ever made. Britt, you rock-and every other musical genre as well! 🌟

[@irnhed13]

Alanis Morissette was born in the Capitol of Canada, Ottawa, where English and French are the official languages. She lived in Germany from 3 to 6 years old, that could be a source for playing with pronunciation. She had a few pop hits up North as a teen then "Jagged Little Pill" set the World on 🔥. On the topic of accents, I sum it up like this... What is the difference between a New Yawker and a Canadian? New Yawker : "Eh, Get outta the way!" Canadian : "Get outta the way, eh!" How do you spell Canada? C, eh, N, eh, D, eh. RUSH!!! 🤘 &

[@GS-xt8fu]

I’m glad you did the live version. She is unique and talented. Great song writer. True artist…singer, songwriter, composer, vocalist and yes, she plays instruments as well.

[@BruceConley-oi8nj]

Her tones touches your soul you just feel it. and thats a special power.

[@debbiehopewell5544]

Love the instrumental on this song, it's so menacing, it's like a war between the vocals and instruments. I have tried for over 20 years to describe Alanis and you using Mystical total hit with me!😂 Great reaction!

[@darkphyn]

We heard the song on the radio & it was stunning! We saw the City of Angels movie & waited til the closing credits for her song.

[@illibrium4590]

One of my favorite things about Alanis is how she can take one word and make three lines out of it, lol. She's also a very talented songwriter - I recommend 'That I Would Be Good', 'Simple Together', 'Unsent', 'Sympathetic Character', and 'Hands Clean'. Regarding her unique sound, the only other vocalists that I could compare Alanis to would be Aurora and Allison Krauss for that ethereal, other-worldly quality.

[@salvation2979]

she was huge in the late 90s! she’s making a comeback

[@DougCoughler]

Alanis is Canadian, from Ottawa, Ontario.

[@deborahloveless429]

She always brings to mind a banshee. The mythical spirits that wail out their pain and anger to all who would listen. And capture their prew while doing so!

[@lellepad]

WE GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!!!!! Her voice is so ethereal and haunting. Like a fairy queen or something.

[@diegosebastianfadel5128]

i like your reaction to the most incredible women .....ALANIS IS EVERYTHING

[@toddashton9696]

Alanis is Canadian. Thanks for a great reaction to this Amazing performance

[@markferrett700]

I understand exactly what your saying......Alanis is a unique artiste....this has the same mystical feel to it as Led Zepplin's "Cashmere" has... Great reaction again👏👏

[@kd8199]

Totally. Ethereal.

[@susannebrown3255]

This is after her experience in India. It was a personal journey for her.👍🏻🇨🇦🐉

[@Tomloser4321]

She's Canadian...............the song is in reference to a relationship she was involved in with an older man when she was still a minor...that's why the haunting music !!

[@Tomloser4321]

That's why the music conveys danger, lust, and a haunting musical build up................in the final musical passage Alanis is saying ...yes, she will continue the relationship. She was with that man for several yeasrs

[@Meganb1286]

I feel you for sure! This song is meant for her I get chills every time

[@Meganb1286]

She’s canadian

[@marvn56941]

Your awesome Britt!!

[@Kristinedelaney_art]

Such a great song written for a great movie! Always one of my favorites from Alanis!

[@stephenmccormack5272]

Alanis Morisette is a Canadian treasure. She has an Ottawa Valley accent.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Another reaction channel I watch sometimes is Brad and Lex. Brad is a hard sell on a lot of the artists they watch but he fell head over heels for Alanis! She's incredible with a very unique voice and singing style.

[@chuckwilliams6261]

Are you sure he didn't fall head over feet?

[@brettkenschaft4239]

@chuckwilliams6261 Aww man, how did I miss that one?! 😖 Nice save!!

[@DavidSmith-vx7rl]

And Lex didn’t get jealous about it, which says a lot about her maybe

[@stevedurnell4002]

I think it so awesome how you welcome by too the party so awesome great song love the voice too thank you so much for sharing your video with us love it Britt.🌹👍

[@Cauin450]

Miss Britt, believe me I do understand what you say. I collect great singers. Alanis among them; Amy Lee, Sharon dan Adel, Clare Maguire, Minniva and the lady whose songs I am enjoying at the moment, Annaca. Her voice is haunting. I hope you get round to enjoying any of these ladies work, they are at the top of their game.

[@johnkonertz8042]

Am so glad you took the advice from those of us who suggested this song after you reacted to You Outta Know . The orchestra sound gives. Such a beautiful haunting sound.

[@rachaddle6581]

My entire 20yrs old era has been Alanis! This was back in early 2000's. I was thee fan 1000% back then. Became a mother soon after Alanis's peak. She is a part of my historty.😊🔴🔴🔴

[@blizzardofodds4220]

Britt, I'm right with you when it comes to Alanis and this is by far my favorite song by her because of the range she shows and the strings that accompany her. This song is great and it was written for the movie soundtrack call the "City of Angels" which by the way is a great soundtrack as well. The movie is actual good as well. Love the reaction. Alanis is Canadian.

[@michele1491]

Super eerie…goosebumps

[@rowanmayfair9249]

I'm so happy you did this one. Like you said, stunning.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Not only did she sound great etc….love that hair. Lol. Gorgeous.

[@elizabethjennings9316]

It's amazing feeling! I loved performing with a live band! I miss it.😊

[@briang6815]

It's a good one. It was in the movie City of Angels.

[@Transitcat]

A friend of mine is in a band that was the headliner for our Canada Day celebration about ten years ago. He performed his very alt-rock tunes with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra filling out his group. It was one of the many highlights of his career! So yes, I can only guess that Alanis was more than likely stoked to hear her song played by an orchestra!

[@m.autumngazr0714]

It is my favorite Alanis song. I first heard it when I watched the movie, “City of Angels”, with Meg Ryan & Nicholas Cage. Watch the movie and the song lyrics makes more sense. A haunting song.

[@PuckeredMeatball]

"If a faerie could sing" yes! her soul feels so tethered to her voice, but still perfect and agile

[@heathwilkinson3705]

Her voice pierces the soul

[@paranormalinpdx]

Alanis is married to another musical artist Souleye , She's Canadian and he is from Boston, their kids gonna have a great accent :D

[@RayLinn-v1q]

Her voice lends to the anticipation of the next note she is going to sing Like a good book you can't stop in the middle, you have to see how it ends

[@hanoverfist07]

“Hand in My Pocket” is so good!!!

[@nomadforlife333]

She is from Ottawa, Ontario. If you get the chance to see her live do it. She is amazing

[@SAM-dg3vd]

"fey" is the word that comes to mind when I hear her... otherworldly

[@icecold1780]

💯 Canadian - she just has a very unique cadence and way of enunciating her words

[@seansmith2797]

I love this song and your reaction is fantastic.

[@alwaysbam]

This song is my favorite to listen to in the car. THE ORCHESTRA IS GIVINGGGGG. those lyrics man.

[@jackiec.7617]

A great artist with that mystical sound is Loreena Mckennitt, the mummeers dance. Beautiful voice.. Love Alanis...

[@mirtieraczo5842]

I love this song! You should watch her perform it at yhe Grammy's with an orchestra. The stage set and lighting with watching the string section makes for a fantastic performance. I like your image of what her voice sounds like. I think it perfectly explains it.

[@TDOTMUSICNERD]

Yep.. she is a fellow Canadian .. and has had a spell on me for yrs🙂✌️

[@morissette83]

Very underrated artist. She’s an angel.

[@diannaw3034]

Alanis is defo Canadian. She is from Ottawa, Ontario Canada... and it's a bilingual city. So you may indeed be hearing her accent come out in her vocals. So here are three other Canadians... that you need to hear ... for their killer distinct vocals!!!! 🤩 Amanda Marshall.... Let It Rain.. and Believe In You .. Beautiful Goodbye.. and If I Didn't Have You.... just to get you started. She's making a come back this year.. after many years of not recording. Next is Belgian Canadian Lara Fabian.... and three to start with are Caruso... Je Suis Malade.. with the English translation on the vid... then Adagio.... also I Will Love Again... this woman will blow the socks right off your feet... I kid you not!!!! Then there is Faouzia... she's Moroccan Canadian.. and well she's unreal!!!! Start with her stripped versions of these songs... You Don't Even Know Me ... then Tears Of Gold... This Mountain (Acoustic) and then Exothermic (Piano) version!! She has sooooo many more.. but that will get you hooked on her!!! 😍 I swear by these artists and promise you ... that you will love them!!!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Oh, you win the prize for mentioning Amanda Marshall! Ha ha.

[@diannaw3034]

@@Rosannasfriend Have you heard her new song.. I Hope She Cheats... at 2:50 in the song... my lord she just lets out the old Amanda.. and it's so fantastic. Also... her live mashup of I Can't Stand The Rain with Let It Rain.. is just soul feeding at it's best!!! lol

[@Ta2dlam]

I'm surprised this song doesn't get more recommendations for reactions. It's in my top songs ever recorded.

[@beckyhegland7902]

I hope that this made it into your playlist, so that you've had a chance to revisit it without the starts and stops, to really feel how it builds, and backs off, and builds again. There's something almost *uncomfortable* in how angsty the orchestra feels in this song, but that's what makes it great. Some of us are lucky enough to have been loving this song ever since it first came out, and it hasn't diminished one bit in that time; it's as unique and hard-hitting as it ever was, and that's immensely impressive. I hope you have the day you deserve, Miss Britt!

[@lawrencerodriguez5245]

I love her ❤❤❤❤

[@halah34]

The first time I heard this on the radio I pulled off the road to listen

[@bethannprather1462]

I worked at a radio station when this song dropped. It was so popular we played it at the top AND bottom of every hour for two weeks. That's crazy, and I've heard not one other song has ever had that type of play time during its rise and time at #1 Also: the whole accent comment... it's the way she breaks up the words she sings. I guess the way she enunciates each word.

[@denveradams4909]

This song was a part of the movie, "city of angels", which I watched with my former girlfriend. As she sings in this song, I found Alanis to be intriguing . Maybe even a little alluring. My musical tastes have a broad range and my son cannot understand how I can be drawn to her music at the age of 65 and having grown up in a traditional country/gospel music family.

[@MegaFreddie46]

She has a peculiar accent that emerges here and there, from time to time, ressembling French-Canadian. It's absolutely lovely! 😍

[@semi-sound]

Of course I could be wrong, but I don’t know that the movie ”City of Angels” made much of a splash - (I haven’t even seen it myself). But it does feature two absolutely majestic songs that were written specifically for it: ”Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls and this one. If nothing else they struck gold in the music department. This song is like a beautiful lament over a romantic/erotic interest being forbidden fruit, either because the counterpart is already in a relationship, or because Alanis is - or both. I feel she captured that mix of frustration, curiosity, ennui and discomfort perfectly, all while the musical crescendoes illustrate the stirring attraction boiling underneath.

[@RogerDidierM.]

Alanis is Canadian. She finished high school in Toronto, Canada. Her Name suggests a French descent but nothing is sure. She moved to the US quite early so it might explain a little the undefined accent.

[@Erica-wy8zx]

This is my favorite song of hers.

[@pamhunter-to4xs]

I can hear her Canadian "r" s... Love our girl! 🇨🇦🙏

[@pamhunter-to4xs]

She's got thick Canadian accent. She def rolls her R's. Canadian here.... Love our girl

[@rdel714]

Hi Britt! Just subscribed you're very authentic I love your videos

[@tao4mike]

Some of her more recent live performances are really good... Including this song!

[@neutrino78x]

Britt, you have to go watch her perform this song live in concert!! It's amazing!!! They turn on a strobe light and she does a crazy headbang dance!! Originally it was meant to be about Meg Ryan's character in City of Angels resisting the romantic feelings of an angel.....but in the play about her music, "Jagged Little Pill", a musical play that you can go watch right now too, they make this song about someone overdosing on drugs. It's really powerful there too. But yeah you gotta watch her perform this live. 🙂

[@marksummers1700]

i love the passion in this song, and the world music vibe...

[@marksummers1700]

@Miss_brittreacts__._ let's talk... about what...?

[@jessilytle3548]

I agree with all the things you said about her sound... she's hard to pin down for sure and you did very well!

[@ersofrescht4661]

i like this reaction the most!

[@RobW-w2u]

Alanis is most definitely Canadian, just like Rush!!

[@yrankin1]

Unicornish- makes me grin from ear to ear😊

[@lloyderc]

Do in your house from her. Nothing but her voice. No music. It’s perfection

[@Rosannasfriend]

Another great reaction!

[@leftytwogunz3951]

Been a fan of here’s since Jagged Little Pill came out. Her voice is beautiful. So comforting. She can sing anything. For fun you should listen to her take on Black Eyed Peas - My Humps.

[@karifrancis6602]

My mother explained Alanis not as a singer but as an instrument. her vocals are part of the composure and the lyrics just sort of tie in to complete the structure. IDK my mother played symphony viola, it made sense when she explained it.

[@sparksdrinker5650]

Her performance of this song live at the Grammy's backed by an orchestra is the one to watch

[@jollyj3285]

Love this song!!!

[@lawwdogg1digr]

You are correct! Alanis is from Canadia!

[@ralfrichter883]

Britt is speachless😂🙃

[@ralfrichter883]

@Miss_brittreacts___ Dear Britt, there is another video on youtube to make you speechless: Al Jarreau- Take five live!😇

[@kurtschmidt9760]

you are right that you can not compare her voice to anyone. But she has one of the best voices out there.

[@rogerdaly6326]

This song always gives me a Led Zep Kashmir vibe when thoses drums kick in. My favorite song by her.

[@neutrino78x]

6:19 she was born in Canada, she's actually dual citizenship USA and Canada now. She lives here in the San Francisco Bay Area now, from what I understand. 🙂
