FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ALANIS MORISSETTE "YOU OUGHTA KNOW" REACTION

[@wesleyhester9829]

You should listen to the original. She rocks it!

[@Iamsmallfry]

Absolutely! This version is great, but the original needs to be heard. When it hit in the 90’s, it was everywhere! She’s amazing. I had the opportunity to see her in 95 and I didn’t. It’s one of my regrets. She’s on my bucket list now to see live.

[@ztienapm]

This is similar to Unplugged Layla. The original is Clapton's anguished love song to George Harrison's, at the time, wife. By the time Unplugged comes along he had married and divorced "Layla". Long way of saying the original is the absolute best. You get all the raw hurt.

[@jasonvelliquette9058]

Yes it does

[@greg2976]

Abosutely!!!!!!

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

100%... She's great in this, but I like the rage. That Fury of betrayal after a break up. Just unbridled anger screaming through your veins. She captured that feeling phenomenally in the original.

[@rickmts]

Jagged Little Pill was a breakthrough album for Alanis, but also for women rockers everywhere!! It made her career, and she kept going!!

[@Cnith]

In the original her singing almost feels primal and the album it came off of is one of the best ever, with so many good songs.

[@CraigKostelecky]

Yes, this song needs that anger to experience it properly.

[@cribpowers]

Agreed. This is definitely not the original.

[@sharina-musicfiend]

Absolutely. She's at her best when she can use her whole body to sing.

[@julesschulte9293]

Think I read somewhere once that it was done in one take. Emotional, raw, angry. Just so good. Must listen to the OG recording!

[@angelskunk2206]

I agree! I had the Jagged Little Pill CD and every song was 🔥🔥🔥 I remember that I really liked the song Mary Jane.

[@way469]

This was THE scorned woman's anthem back in the 90's.

[@crescentfreshsongs]

Jagged Little Pill is such a great album. There must have been something in the water in the 90s, because there was just an army of incredible women alternative singer/songwriters putting out amazing track after amazing track. Alanis, Fiona Apple, Liz Phair, Tracy Chapman, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow... I could go on and on and still not list them all.

[@newgrl]

Fiona Apple, "Criminal" is a must if we're doing awesome women of the 90's reactions. And I can always go for "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman.... although I'm generally crushingly sad after listening to history repeat itself in that song.

[@-jacinta-]

...Tori Amos, Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, the Indigo Girls, Sinéad O'Connor, KD Lang, Sophie B Hawkins.

[@danieljodrey]

@@-jacinta- thank God someone remembered Tori. Best of the lot IMHO

[@richardhague801]

...Heather Nova, Natalie Merchant, Dido, Suzanne Vega, Bjork.... just adding to the list of amazing female soloists of the era

[@fetB]

my all time favorites. Granted, theres some memories connected, but regradless, fantastic album

[@jessileerichy]

Damn I forgot how amazing Alanis is. She is such a clear, clean voice.

[@marciareagan2718]

Jagged little pill is basically the 90’s for young women. Her song ironic changed the dictionary. There is now a definition to fit her song.

[@Aaron-xc4je]

Morissette began her career in Canada in the early 1990s

[@sk8tergurl12174ever]

Her live version of "Uninvited" is mesmerizing. She wrote it for the movie "City Of Angels". Also if you just added the studio version of this song to your Playlist, you will be captivated all over again. It is a much different, and more passionate delivery of the same words. Both are awesome.

[@sweetelisum]

Uninvited is still one of my favorites of all time

[@elishawilliams5407]

Uninvited is my favorite!!!!

[@janicepatterson1601]

THIS! I came here to write exactly this! I've always loved this original, as well as uninvited since the 90s. Then I heard this live, and her live with uninvited . 😮 literally mind blown🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 those notes she hits in uninvited though!. Also, fun fact, this is the only song I'll do at Karaoke 😆

[@Cathidee]

Yes uninvited is amazing!

[@supergirl0526]

Uninvited just gives me chills. Such a beautiful song

[@jasonstehlick452]

Fun fact: this was written about Uncle Joey from Full House

[@dbradx]

Yep, Bob Saget confirmed that Dave Coulier was at his house for dinner when he got the call she mentions in the song.

[@jimmybobsap8729]

thats what I auto think of when I hear this lol

[@wribit]

yeah, he was mid twenties and she was 17. creepo

[@jeremyburns8386]

I was checking to see if anyone said it before I did...haha

[@intellectually_lazy]

@@wribit they both had nickelodeon shows. she was on you can't do that on television, and dave coulier had his own show out of control. i don't know anything about it beyond that, but given that it doesn't seem that strange

[@dossesb5540]

That song came out in June 1995! The first time I heard her I couldn't believe what she sang, from that very moment until today I continue to listen to her music, obviously maturing with her, her music and her voice clearly marked my youth and my adulthood!!

[@LouieVillalobos]

This video made me so happy. To watch somebody discover Alanis is super gratifying.

[@ed.z.]

The Official Video is epic and moving. Her song “Ironic” is phenomenal also.

[@bramcurtis6900]

While I do like the song Ironic...the only ironic thing in that song is NONE of the examples cited is ironic. They are all a drag but not ironic. For example. It WOULD be ironic to buy a lottery ticket and win the day AFTER you die. THAT's ironic.

[@ed.z.]

@@bramcurtis6900 a song about irony that contains no irony? Now, Isn’t that ironic?

[@christianslater2736]

This song was a and is a punch to the face, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing it, and best part is you were excited by that fact, she is so amazing. revolutionary....Love all your reactions, cant wait to see more

[@aaronjoly]

The interesting thing about Alanis is record companies tried to make her into a bubblegum teen pop star and she held out until she found a producer who was ok putting out the music she wanted with her own image. This was so crazy at that time to have this kickass Canadian girl sing about real emotions in such a raw way.

[@toddstevens13]

She had a Platinum Disco style album in Canada with her first album as a young teenager. Her second album she grew a little but her record company in Canada indeed wanted her to stay as a disco/pop queen'ete. She left them, got a new Record Album and up popped Jagged Little Pill.

[@Jaycee-Bee]

In 1991, Alanis was signed to Madonna's label, Maverick Records. Jagged Little Pill with Madonna's help.

[@adancer3592]

Yep Maddona was smart enough to let Her brilliant writing shine . Making jagged little pill in the top ten biggest selling album In history & the only female on that list . So cheers to smart talented kick as lady's who said um no we going to do us thanks boys

[@GoddessKelly]

I still remember the summer of 1995 when the song came out. Alanis Morissette's "You Ought To Know" was not the like the bebop, girlie pop songs of the time. It was a raw and in your face F YOU to the cheater that left you high and dry. Alanis was a woman scorned who was not going to forgive and forget. As a singer, her body of work is excellent. You should listen to the original version of this song and her entire library of hits. Ironic is my favorite song of hers.

[@feistybootsonfire]

I was going through all kinds of relationship bs in the 90s when this came out. I remember blasting the cassette with the windows down and screaming along. Sometimes at a red light, other drivers would sing along. It was an absolute cultural moment of giving voice and vocabulary to unabashed feminine rage. Glorious.

[@Gabriel_Moline]

3:00. What a masterful performance she gave live! Wow!

[@debmutter4586]

In the official video she is SO angry. The emotion she expresses is incredible. Worth watching for comparison.

[@Royal_BLT]

There is one word that can describe all 🇨🇦 female singers, and that word is "BADASS" !

[@vickiroman189]

This is really mellow. You need to hear the studio version to experience her raw, angry passion!

[@jodale1972]

While you are at it, you might as well go ahead and add that entire album to your playlist. It is FIRE!!!! Jagged Little Pill was a masterpiece of an album.

[@Aalu420]

Jagged Little Pill is probably the greatest album of any music genre. Not a single bad song on the album. In my mind, it's right up there with the greatest albums ever recorded of any music genre.

[@erickent3557]

The most POWERFUL failed romance song I know. Alanis blasts out the hurt and anger we feel when cast off... And this is an acoustic version. Her voice here is so well-crafted and executed. Amazing performance.

[@cariwaldick4898]

I'd never heard this version, and at first I'm like....no. But then it really started to grow on me. Hearing her voice, and every nuance, not competing with the music, started to feel even more edgy. There's no place to hide in this one. Without the rock music, she sort of reminds me of Dolores O'Riordan.

[@johnjohn37371]

That damn Dave....

[@intellectually_lazy]

idk, i liked push by who was that? matchbox20?

[@intellectually_lazy]

or wait, even better, violet by hole

[@michelleikoma2953]

We Canadians are very proud to call Alanis one of our best gifts to the world of singer songwriters. She is phenomenal. Leaves a piece of herself in every song.

[@vixybanker]

This is the ultimate “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, song. My friends and I had a ritual, when one of us had a break up that we would get together and belt out this song. Allanis is a phenomenal singer!

[@chrisriley8749]

So yes, this was a big hit in the 90s, this is a great, much more mature, version of Alanis.

[@josemenendez4454]

Her first album went diamond, over ten million copies sold and she wrote them all, she is set for life.

[@PauTay942]

this album shook the world. still holds up today.

[@zend8062]

She was 18 years old when she wrote this song ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ she is a legend

[@folderbc]

Alanis is a legend and she still kicks ass. I'll never forget being a teenager in the 90s when Jagged Little Pill dropped and blew everyone's minds. I love her so much

[@pamhunter-to4xs]

🇨🇦. 90s. Canadian genius. This song was 1st f bomb... Genius lyricist. I love all her stuff. Biggest female album...Huge 1st album, Jagged Little Pill.

[@greendragonpublishing]

Alanis was first on You Can't Do That On Television as a child actor. The original of this song was strong, heavy, full of angst - incredibly powerful. This is a much lower-key version! The song came out in 1995 and was every woman's anthem who's man left her for someone else. Also, fun fact - she played God in the movie, Dogma :D

[@ronramsey9930]

I am so happy that you have discovered Alanis Morrissette. She is fantastic. Her album Jagged Little Pill is amazing. Enjoy the journey. ;-)

[@Nicholas1994]

I recommend every Alanis Morissette song. That is all.

[@JHulse29]

Britt's facial expression at some of these lyrics 🤌😂

[@OldLadyReacts]

"And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it!" I knew that was going to get a big reaction from you. It's such a great line! Pure bitter poetry.

[@thesquirrelrises]

I absolutely love you watching Alannis. She's incredible!

[@mikepiccione886]

Uninvited [live] is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard

[@maureencollins5177]

Alanis Morissette's mid-90s album "Jagged Little Pill" was a disruptor in every sense of the word. Alanis was a teen pop singer in Canada who grew up, left that behind, and wrote these confessional anthems that resonated through the post-grunge music scene. She did an acoustic version of the album a while back, and now there's a Broadway musical using the songs called Jagged Little Pill. I suggest watching the original video or at least listening to the slbum version with all the backing music. Also listen to "You Learn", "Ironic", "Hand in My Pocket", "Head Over Feet", "Thanks U". and from the movie City of Angels, "Uninvited".

[@the_truth_untold]

"Jagged Little Pill" is one of my favorite albums of all time. Alanis's voice is like no other. The original version is so much angrier and I was there for it (in the 90's). 👏👏👏

[@LordXarti]

I remember watching the video on Mtv & then buying "Jagged Little Pill" on CD the next day.

[@pkdude5334]

I didn't realize how good this rendition was.

[@brheinfeldt]

This song is about Dave Coulier, from the TV show FULL HOUSE. He freaked out a little bit when he found out he was the topic of her song.

[@marcussmith6805]

Alanis Morissette is a legend. Her voice is so unique. My favorite song from her is "Head Over Feet" but she has so many great ones.

[@ChanelStuff]

My favorite of hers was a hidden track on her first album Jagged Little Pill. The name of the song is Your House. It's a capella and shows off her chops perfectly.

[@OldSkoolDad23]

Alanis Morisette-Thank You Alanis Morisette-Uninvited

[@michaelhatchard8864]

She wrote this song after Dave Coulier who play Joey in Full House left her. Love the anger in her voice. So many other great songs from the album that this came from as well. Met her once when doing security work at one of her concert. Such a nice lady

[@lillyvanpug]

When that first album dropped I was a teenager with trauma to handle and was so frustrated. I finally felt understood and heard for the very first time in my life. I grew with Alanis and I have loved every step of the journey 🖤

[@dg723254]

Britt now you've been Alanisized! Great reaction!

[@rg8249]

That song and album Jagged Little Pill was a phenomena when it came out making Alanis an overnight sensation. Groundbreaking. If you're downloading the song, download the whole album, you won't be disappointed!

[@newgrl]

The Hidden Track off Jagged Little Pill, which is now called "Your House", is such an absolutely insane "I'm completely crazypants", but beautiful acapella song off that album. The lyrics..... ugh.... if anyone reading this don't remember it, go listen to it again now.

[@FromG2eminor]

90's icon and every bit of Jagged Little Pill is a must listen to over, and over, and over again. Unique voice and no one like her.

[@mikefetterman6782]

I believe it was 1994, and she was the instant queen of popular music. She was in good company as well, the Cranberries, Sheryl Crow, 4 non Blondes, and Jewel were all top 10 that year.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Ironic, and Uninvited are two of her other huge hits.

[@iamangee]

Jagged Little Pill is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Pretty much every song was a massive hit that absolutely dominated the 90s.

[@stpetie7686]

This is my first time hearing this version. I like it. It expresses her hurt in that situation. The album version expresses her anger. Same song and lyrics, quite different messages.

[@bigoz1977]

The album this is from is one of the best selling albums ever. It came out mid 90s. Incredible album start to finish 👍🏻

[@joemckinley754]

The official video of this song is borderline grunge and really delivers the pain of the lyrics.

[@Ciaransworld]

I've never heard this acoustic version and it's amazing! Thanks for sharing this version.

[@davidmhewett44]

The original and the video are amazing. Alanis is an amazing artist.

[@TheMadMaple]

Adding my voice to the choir suggesting that you check out the original version. It's so much more raw and primal, and a song like this deserves to be raw and primal.

[@nbx2au]

She smashed all records and got all kind of awards with that LP. Amingly, she didn't make the top tear status and many people haven't heard of her. Yet it is possibly the pick of the '90s music, even Morissette PH got her name from this artist. :)

[@Bcgray5532]

You have a beautiful voice. My wife and I grew up in the eighties. We remember this song playing for the first time in ‘95. I have owned the song since then, still, it was great to hear it through your eyes and ears.

[@riffgroove]

Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" is the biggest selling debut album of all time. It sold 18 million copies and spawned an incredible SIX number one singles. In the 90's when this album came out, it was EVERYWHERE.

[@Ribeca222]

30 millions u mean

[@garyking6519]

There are no words to describe the power of her live performance!

[@Gismo-ih7gi]

Anthem is definitely the word. This version is beautiful and she sings like it's hurting. In the original it's fresh and she's still angry and the hurt comes out more as rage and indignation. It feels raw. This whole album felt so new and different. And i think still does, it holds up even all these years later.

[@rachaddle6581]

I love Alanis!!!!❤❤ When she first came to be I was her first listener!!..well I mighta been😉🤔😁 I was a dedicated listener & STILL play her songs to the day!

[@saverioc2929]

I find her most unique songs are: "Thank U" and "Hand In My Pocket" but she has quite a few great ones. "Hand it my pocket" is her most commercial song but it's still great.

As usual, a great reaction. Alanis' Jagged Little Pill is considered by many to be a must listen to. If you have time please give it a listen and you will see why she took the industry by storm. I call it female empowerment with a little bit of venom. Congratulations on your impressive march to 100,000. I have been with you since you were on the march to 5,000. You have been the brightest spot in the reaction field any of us have seen in a long time. I know you have been doing this for 3 months now and you already have 890 reactions. Please be careful because all of us do not want to see you get burned out because all of us look forward to your next reaction. Please refer back to my comments on Morissette's "Rise Up" for my two suggestions on KZ Tandingan and Lara Fabian. Both of these have the potential effect of making you look into your camera with that what in the hell am I hearing stare that we all love.

[@Iamsmallfry]

I had to Google the year because you made me doubt my memory. LOL. It was 95, and I am old. Shit! I 100% agree that the album is a complete masterpiece. The hidden track at the end was just just as angst filled as this song. Forgiven was (and still is) the song that can make me cry a bit, having grown up in a Pentecostal cult that controlled nearly every aspect of our lives.

[@thetruthhealsryancrc]

She performed that live version of the song from a place of hurt, which is how she had originally envisioned the lament. Her producers convinced her to speed up the tempo, which made the song sound much more aggressive and angry.

From 1995 she had a purple patch for a number years - "You Oughta Know", "Hand in My Pocket", "Ironic", "You Learn", "All I Really Want", "Uninvited" and "Thank U". The Jagged Little Pill album delivered three US hit singles (six Canadian hit singles). I was introduced to her music when my daughter was a teenager and have enjoyed her music ever since. Her comedy update of "Ironic" with James Corden is quite fun - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHi5e6OFosZ3r7c

She is 'hands down' my favorite singer. Sometimes I think I like someone else for that spot, but then I listen to her again, and keep my hands down.

[@kimkathrein2463]

I’ve never seen this version. It’s very acoustic. You need to hear the studio version. It really rocks and her anger comes out better. And yes her whole singing style is really unique. This song seemed like it was the first of its kind. A sort of anthem for women that have been tossed aside by men.

A relationship just ended for me this morning and this reaction has inspired me to pull out this CD and crank up this song many times today. Therapy, music style!

[@FacesByChelseaK]

I got to see her live in my early 20’s and would love to see her again! There’s something uniquely interpretive about her voice - like you said, she was weeping with the vocalizing she does toward the end of the track. She’s able to convey such a range of emotion in one song.

[@dbsagacious]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but this song is supposedly about Dave Coulier, who played Uncle Joey on "full House". She has never stated exactly who it was about, but Dave basically has said that unfortunately it was about him. What a breakup song! She's amazing

[@Meydoosa]

I was reading all of the comments to find someone who finally mentioned this. He groomed this girl and then dropped her.

Omg yaaasss! I love her, and this song is so raw, pure fire. Loving your channel.

[@-R.Gray-]

Morissette Amon's father was a fan, so that's where her name originated. Same as with Billie Eilish, and Aerosmith - the performances on Howard's show are an interesting addition for someone already familiar with the original version. She was 21 in 1995 when this song came out, and that energetic version was impactful enough that she won the Grammy for Album of the Year. Add the original to your playlist.

[@McLeod2022]

First - your vocals are a joy to hear. Complete adoration ---- that you are willing to run though genres , decades.... I have found, listening to music I dismissed, artists I blew past. with indifference.. that then going back and hearing it again and then reading about the story behind the story.... It is more than a book reread after live experience... it tis that plus all the periphery... the stories of are lives are often written in shadows. rooms of doubt. moments of unanticipated glory. We never know one another without sitting elbow to elbow, breaking bread.

[@amorinnihil]

I would love to see you react to the music video 😭

[@sandragray4598]

I never heard this particular performance before and at first I was thinking, oh no, why didn't she get the official music video (which is a lot faster and more hard rocking) but this version is beautiful, just as powerful vocally and lyrically too because her vocals and these lyrics just stand out. I'm now loving this performance and glad you did too. Also in this slower version, on a first listen, you get a better chance to hear and interpret all the lyrics much better. Still, I'd recommend the official music video too as she puts passion and forcefulness into it, which complement the lyrics even better. Loved this reaction too. You have a lovely voice it seems from the little you did here. My first listen of you I believe, subscribed! Happy listening.
