HE LOVES IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Alanis Morissette - Uninvited REACTION

[@chazrjr]

The LIVE Grammy Version is just OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN!!!

[@allisonbell2234]

She’s the only singer that I’ve heard that breaks up the words in her phrasing. She draws you in to find out what the word is.

[@fractuss]

Very few people could pull off those lyrics. I know if I tried they would be incredibly awkward but for her it's effortless.

[@IsraelBenitez-ev7mj]

Bjork does this as well

[@Moody_82]

Iron and wine... Thank me later

[@gavinsheridan4680]

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Awwwwww - I was so hoping you guys would do the LIVE version - which will absolutely BLOW you away - with the full orchestra. Please check it out on your own - well worth a listen. But very glad to see you cover this song - it's one of her very best. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@jesmasa1]

Thanks to this comment I'm gonna check it out. Love hauntingly beautiful songs & orchestras

[@BillGraper]

I like when they do the original studio versions, but I love slow orchestral music... so I'm going to check it out!!!

You should watch her live-she sometimes sounds even better, if that's possible.

No she doesn't, this studio version is much better.

[@Gnomojo]

Any normal Canadian LOVES Alanis morissette. She’s incredible and we know it.

[@tinastanley2827]

Any normal person should

[@slimlouis6441]

The LIVE version is equally as mesmerizing. She’s very talented and her live vocals are sublime.

[@vickiroman189]

This is an epic song. The movie "City of Angels" is so heartbreaking - you really should see it. You would get a true understanding of these lyrics.

[@Jamesscearce]

Epic is correct... Alanis' best song I feel... this song evokes all kinds of emotions and imagery, but when it reaches it's intense crescendo it almost has Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' vibe, it's cinematic in it's scope.

[@blueish-template4532]

The only good thing of about that movie is the soundtrack. And of course, Uninvited is the best song on the soundtrack.

[@Mus1c1luv]

Agreed; the song fits the theme of the movie - about "forbidden" love.

[@ohauss]

Note, though, that the movie is a remake of the German movie "Wings of Desire"

Please explain the meaning im lazy

@@deanadewall8400 No way, Grammys performance has that full orchestra and amazing backdrop to go with her perfect vocals.

[@malachicroy6379]

Yes!

[@barrypayne4285]

She wrote all of her own music. The composition of her work is amazing

[@axltyler]

There's a haunting motif stressed by three notes: G, B flat, and B. And then when the orchestra kicks in, you get this Arabian/Egyptian vibe. Very DISSONANT TENSION!!!

[@dggydddy59]

Which notes are you referring to? You can't mean that 4 note pattern on the piano that repeats throughout the song? Because then you'd mean Eb Bb B and Bb, assuming your Bb and B are correct, which let's just assume they are. Not having perfect pitch, I can't tell what key this is in just by listening, I only have relative pitch. Or did you mean 3 other notes? Just curious, not attacking. Cheers!

[@rpvee]

The whole song is influenced by Eastern/Indian music. Not just the strings, but also the percussion (Indian tabla) and the verse melody, second verse in particular. This was the first song Alanis released after her trip to India, and the influence is clear.

[@allieren]

The song is also based around the mixolydian mode/scale which has an exotic sound (to Western listeners) and gives it a bittersweet feel.

[@druidriley3163]

@@rpvee another song from Alanis with the eastern/arabic/indian vibe is the end track to Prince of Persia "I remain". Another good one. Not as good as this one, which I adore, but also good. The soundtrack to Prince of Persia is actually pretty good overall.

[@TheGallows978]

"But THIS is not allowed." Wonderful.

[@bdonova1]

another great 90s Canadian female artist to check out is Sarah McLachlan. Especially the song Possession.

[@Problembeing]

And ‘Silence’ with delerium :)

If you’re doing movies as well, you may want to watch the movie this song came from: City of Angels with Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. The soundtrack is actually better than the movie.

[@jasonsabbath6996]

The soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

[@kellyp136]

Memory: best friend & I saw this at the dollar theatres. When this movie ended, no one in the audience moved and spoke for a good minute. We were all stunned.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

City of Angels is such a good m movie. Thanks for doing this version.

[@Shrykespeare]

I love you guys. My favorite Alanis song. It's so beautiful, so haunting, and it gives me goosebumps every time. I also hope you do "Thank U", which runs a close second. Some of my other faves (and I'm guessing I'm not alone) are "You Learn", "All I Really Want", and "Wunderkind" (from the first Chronicles of Narnia movie).

[@aaradia]

Yes!!!!! I think "Supposed former Infatuation Junkie" is a vastly underrated album. I think "Thank you" or "Baba" would be great songs for them to listen to next.

[@cwalokie9559]

Thank you for reminding me about "Wunderkind". It is the last song as the credits ended. I'm a big CS Lewis fan and my oldest daughter read all 7 of the Narnia books and we had discussions adout the books compared to the movies. It lead to doing the same with Harry Potter, Hunger Games etc.... The best part of being a father is watching their ideas and opinions develope. .

[@enderman1550]

I never was a fan of hers, but this at the time I can out hit so many feelings in me, made me a fan forever, her voice is magic here

[@davidboivin7996]

Alanis has an amazing way of phrasing her vocals. One of my all time favorite singers.

My favorite Alanis song!👍 More Female Friday suggestions: Natalie Merchant (Carnival); Fiona Apple (Criminal); Edie Brickell (What I Am); and a more contemporary group, Our Native Daughters (Quesheba, Quesheba). 🎶

[@GunsmithSid]

Nat’s guitar player Jen Turner is so bluesy and fire!

I'll second Criminal - Fiona Apple is amazing!

The City of Angels DOMINATED radio for a very long time on the strength of the and Iris from the Goo Goo Dolls. Those 2 songs really fit the movie like a glove.

[@RealTalkWithJP]

All I kept saying was “don’t pause it right before the break, don’t pause it.” And Jay paused it. But so glad y’all reacted to this, favorite Alanis song for me!

[@SRG4782]

I know. They missed the impact.

[@Junileli]

Why did he pause it before the break!!!

[@NicStryker1027]

Listen to the song again with the knowledge its about an angel falling in love with a human. Lines like "flattered by your fascination with me" and "you speak of love like you've experienced love like mine before"

[@DarkRaven18599]

Not everyone can play completely opposite in range against themselves in an overdub and keep it completely in measure. Gorgeous.

I hate to pick a favourite Alanis Morissette song, but this would likely come out on top for me, the clash of her beautiful voice against the creepy agitated music I think is what does it, it's a masterful piece of music.

[@corinastiles5216]

I was fortunate enough to see her last year. It was an Anniversary for Jagged Little Pill that had been postponed due to Covid the year before. It was excellent with Garbage opening. That's another one that you should check out. Shirley Manson has an excellent voice.

This is one of my all time favorite songs. You could react to the movie "City of Angels". It's got an awesome soundtrack as you already know and the movie is a classic in my opinion. Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage. Fantastic reaction.

This is hands down my favorite song by her. I never actually noticed the screaming guitar at the end! I knew you'd love this one! So good, guys!

[@shadowfrost__]

This song becomes even more emotional when you pair it with the movie it was in "City of Angels", a great movie with an amazing soundtrack.

[@billspivey6919]

Started as a Canadian young pop singer. She was hurt by relationship, faded for bit. Her Album, "Jagged Little Pill " was her coming out as a grown woman. She took control. Completely different from her earlier work. She addressed the pain

I love this song. No one can stretch a word out like Alanis.

[@randomlibra]

Alanis does an acapella song called "Your House". I think you both would dig it a lot. It's borderline creepy, but beautiful :)

I was coming to say the same thing. The song is hauntingly beautiful and full of emotion. Always gives me goosebumps.

[@lela7252]

Saw her live last year, her voice sounds just as beautiful as in the studio. She’s a must see live.

[@joankisloski6972]

Alanis started out on a kid show "You Can't Do That on Television". When she was 19 she dated Dave Coulier from "Full House". Rumer was Morissette wrote “You Oughta Know” about him. She said she will not confirm that .... maybe one day.

[@PlumbPitiful]

I think it was confirmed by Coulier himself. Specifically he remembered "I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner" really happening when she called him during a dinner party. Again, I think it was him but it might have been her. Either way one of them said that actually did happen

[@wadsworthaaron]

Alanis Morrisette is a force of nature. She's a great singer, songwriter, and musician... She's the whole package.

[@big106razor]

Her masterpiece! Beautiful and haunting.

[@sherrysink3177]

I love everything about this song, from the haunting single piano notes to Alanis's pleading voice to the revving up with the cellos and violins and screaming guitar. It's epic and gorgeous and powerful. I love a lot of her faster-paced songs, but this one is probably my favorite of all because it's just so phenomenal. Stunning. SO glad you liked it!! Some other songs of hers that I really love: All I Really Want Perfect Hand in My Pocket Wake Up Thank U Are You Still Mad That I Would Be Good (this one breaks my heart, it's sad and beautiful and angsty, and I really felt that when I was a teen, lol) One Would Not Come Hands Clean and her cover of the Police song "King of Pain"

That entire album is fire. And it’s still fire after all these years. Timeless.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Creepy stalker song. Her power and the way she directs her voice is simply amazing and for me, the layering during the harmonies is just incredible. Listen close to the notes she is hitting there. That's hella range.

[@jamiewilson3599]

Funny, I never got the stalker angle. I always took it as she 'simply wanted an object to crave'... something physical and temporary. And then the person got inside her head 'uninvited' and she began to have deeper feelings for them. Like she just wanted sex, but found a person she really now cares for, and has to deal with those feelings.

[@RJbeachbumallday]

She had a stalker

[@mystisage13]

I didn't get stalker vibe .... just an ex lover who is not invited into her life any longer, because he was toxic to her

[@davidarmstrong1219]

Not a stalker song at all. Unlike most of her songs it is not autobiographical and was written for the soundtrack to City of Angels.

[@adnap]

NO, no no. This song is written from a biographical POV of an angel with whom a human has fallen in love. They are warning them that it is unethical and possibly a sin.

[@joos69]

Wow, I had forgotten how AWESOME this song is! Great choice song to react to.

She has the most unique voice, it takes you to another place in your head. With the strongest emotions. J was just listening and tears just started coming out of his eyes. That’s pure Alanis!!

[@julieholbrook5302]

She wrote it for a movie with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage about an Angel choosing to fall to Earth for love. It plays at the pivotal and most tragic scene in the entire film. It is PERFECTION! And, won the Oscar for best song that year. She performed it live on the Oscar's that year. She KILLED IT!

Great reaction..and you're right..she writes all her own songs and lyrics and also changes which syllable she emphasizes as she sings. She is incredible!!!
