This inteview was shown to Alanis at an italian Tv show: Madonna speaks about Alanis, how Maverick discovers Alanis, and she wishes her good luck
www.alanismoris...

[@hutch1197]

I appreciate that Madonna gave her business partner the full credit for discovering Alanis. Many people assumed that Madonna personally discovered her because it's on her record label.

[@cantneverdidnothing]

Also, she was close to leaving the label before Under Rug Swept came out but Madonna intervened and convinced her to stay. She ended up releasing 2 more albums on Maverick, and she left long after Madonna had left her own label. If that's not support and loyalty, then I don't know

[@thermo87]

I love Alanis Morissette...she is a true musician, a deep human being that expresses more than melodies through her records, my favorite one is SFIJ and "the couch" is my favorite track from the album. But Madonna is an amazing musician as wellthough in a different way, I'm a fan of her and I can feel why she knew Alanis was going to make it, Madonna is visceral and radical, she knows exactly how to wake people up and her musical skills are amazing. SO SHOW A LITTLE MORE RESPECT TO HER!

[@variouscorn8834]

Love this! Kudos to you Madonna for supporting fellow females

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Madonna is a powerhouse, a savyy businesswoman. Everythink she touches turns to gold

[@hugomarquez3189]

Wow! Alanis referred to this decades later, saying this was the only time or first time she saw Madonna. For Madonna to say she was involved in nurturing and mentoring new artists, what a piece of work. No wonder Alanis’s reaction, which left the host speechless.

[@novalis]

of course, good music is not related to fame. but if you are famous, it means people are listening - and madonna has proved to handle this power very well. she has really made a change on people's minds (in terms of sexism, homophobia, racism, for example) and constantly introduced underground themes into the mainstream by her videos and her music. and this is quite amazing for a mainstream pop artist - and i mean ARTIST.

[@cantneverdidnothing]

She said "sell SOME records". She didn't say "sell millions of records". And of course she had to be money orientated, the label had to make some money too, y'know. She's an artist, but she's also a businesswoman, what else did you expect? And FYI, Jagged Little Pill was initially expected to sell only 250,000 copies. It ended up selling 33 million.

[@GelidFields]

My two all-time favorites!

[@cantneverdidnothing]

Exactly. And she actually left the company long after Madonna. Madonna's last release on Maverick was in 2003, Alanis' was in 2008.

[@zthechainz]

She was the biggest star in the world in 1995/96 even here in the UK

[@cantneverdidnothing]

She even said in the interview that she didn't discover Alanis. And I don't know if you've seen it, but in the press room after the 1995 MTV VMAs, she spoke highly of Alanis. Alanis thanked Madonna on the JLP sleeve. In a JLP-era interview, Alanis said Madonna was very supportive of her. Probably she wasn't "important" to Alanis' career, but she did support her.

[@hugomarquez3189]

In a more recent interview, Alanis said the only time she ever heard from Madonna was precisely this prerecorded video, asking her to sell more records, so according to her own recollection, no, she did nothing for her. Alanis did a lot more for Madonna than Madonna for Alanis.

[@gaylefranklin]

@SpinelessPollyanna Alanis has spoken about the support she recieved form both madonna and guy oseary. When Madonna sold maverick, alanis also left the company.

[@featmyself]

Ever heard of something called a joke? She laughed right after she said something about 'selling some records'. Besides, it was her label, it had to earn money, no one wants to have setbacks in business.

[@miralinda]

madonna write her own music and plays instruments, they just have different ways of showing their talents

[@andrewdyke5561]

Alanis is a no bullshit and honest woman. I give madonna respect for loving elliot smith and saying between the bars is one of the best songs ever written which is true

[@oppafranzt446]

madonna get a lot of money, bcause alanis was signed contract to her record label (maveric). Jagged Little Pill album sold around 30 million around the world (17 million in US only) & also won 4 grammy awards 1995 for the best rock female, rock song, rock album & album of the year 1995 .. 90s is a decade of real music, real artist & natural style. no need sensuality, no need controversy like madonna, gaga, britney, kesha, minaj, rihanna & most chicks do nowadays

[@skylar4933]

+Oppa Franzt Madonna doesn't trigger controversy beacause she aims at it or because it's popular in a particular period. It's just that most of the topics she wants to talk about and resemble in her music are considered controversial. You're looking at it very shallowly and briefly.

[@1LuvsTimoK]

thank you! there is someone that can agree with me

[@1LuvsTimoK]

first of all, im not an idiot. just like you like madonna more, alanis means so much more to me, so yea

[@lulide]

I ADORE ALANIS FACE WHEN SHE HEARS her!! jajaa so fucking cuteeeeeeeeeeee alanis TE AMO

[@julienmusic]

alanis can't hide what she really thinks of Madonna..

[@CHSMorrisseau]

I have to somewhat disagree with that statement. It's a fact that every other label turned Alanis down until she met the partners at Maverick. As CEO of Maverick (back in 1994-95), Madonna had last word. So yes, Madonna helped bring her music to the world.

[@cantneverdidnothing]

I hope you're not implying "has-been" in a bad way, she may not be as popular or sell as many records now as she used to but she made a huge impact and influence and that is not to be underestimated. And I'm a huge Madonna fan too so I'm nobody's hater

[@SaintThomas92]

@SpinelessPollyanna well she admits not discovering her, but she is important in a way that the company wouldnt exist without her, and maybe shw wouldve had a contract, with a different label an artist career changes dramatically

[@Otonium]

I love Madonna music, but I agree with you SpinlessP

[@angelalove_]

Agreed

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ilove you somuch miss big hug ❤

[@roncerod]

She is rock star. No need for fancies, well Eric Clapton and Axl Rose do not look good on stage neither but they have an attitude and so does Alanis.

[@V4tik4]

qué ninguneo, meamooooor!

[@kikonyc68]

Interviewer is so cute!!!!!!!!

[@sanlturk9144]

OMG! Are you deaf? Madonna praised her. And she made a joke by saying "Sell some records" Alanis should've told more grateful words than that. It's Madonna we're talking about. Most talented artist in the world. Madonna praises you, and look at what you're saying. I like Alanis but she sould've been more grateful.

[@sanlturk9144]

***** no she has only 2 successful albums and those are with madonna's label. And Madonna praied her so much. She said great singer and songwriter. What else does she want? And the one who said that is Madonna.

[@PNTTVReacts]

Actually every label passed on Alanis, only Maverick wanted her.

[@cb2ize]

If maverick don't has a contract with alanis another label did it. So is about talent, expression and the way how she get her public. And about sucessfuls albums i hope you look better because she has 5 sucessful albums, not 2. this 5 includs Jaggedd little pill 10 years and the best hits, so shut up -

[@rishabhrox1]

Şanlı Türk No, Alanis was classy. She saw through Madonna's shallow and fake complements. Madonna is praising Alanis at that time because she' was part of her label, had Alanis grown too big and had multiple successful albums, Madonna would've felt threatened and started shading her like she had shaded many other artists like Whitney, Mariah and Gaga, that's how pop business is. Alanis said facts, Madonna is indeed just another artist. As fans, we may give titles like king and queen or stuff to these people, but those who are in the industry know very well that whether you are Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé or Mariah...you all have to go through very similar hardships to be at the top....Alanis knew this, that's why she took to spirituality after her jagged Little Pill album instead of selling herself to be at the "top of the game".

[@woahannablue]

Oh, I see. Because it's in a magazine it has to be true. *thumbs up* RS, especially reputable!

[@kaym6313]

Who discovered her?

[@leov60]

while you were posting this comment dioioego, she released a new album :)

[@woahannablue]

Say what you want about the direction of Alanis' career: you cannot deny that she took the world by storm in 1995/1996. Especially in Canada; every time you turned on Muchmusic, she was there. Even then I would've rather watched her than Madonna, but that's beside the point. They're apples and oranges. Is she even on the Maverick label still?

[@Trudragon88]

yeah i admit, that my comment was a dumb one, but no i am not ignorant. infact i am a world history major and i love the period of the italian renaissance in the 1500's and 1600's. i have taken art history and was fasinated by it. fashion not so much lol. but yeah i am a history lover and i do agree with you that Americans are ignorant, i mean c'mon they voted for Bush in 2 elections. I apologise for that comment it was ignorant . looking at it now surprises me to know i wrote it.

[@slashoasis156]

geez, shes just perfect, cute, intelligent, hot, funny..what else could one ask for?

[@Savinaismybaby26]

The Power of Goodbye

[@dg7438]

Alanis's mannerism towards the end seemed sort of bizarre

[@salvolondon]

@CAYOMluver he is italiam

[@Schillerforme]

oh alllllllllllllllllllonis morisotttttto

[@armando1616]

alanis couldnt be more right... madonna is just another artist expresing her way to see and feel music.... nothing more nothing less. Go Alanis!!!

[@cantneverdidnothing]

It's Madonna

[@yancybutler]

@pablorubiolugo Alanis Isn't modern? Have you Heard Break, Versions of Violence, Guy Who Leaves? It's not that she isn't modern...it's just that you stopped listening.

[@larissa.bezerra]

the best thing is how alanis respond to Madonna's comment..like. ..whatever, she's just a bitch that wants me to sell records..capitalist! hahaha that's why I love Alanis! xD

[@snowballwannabe]

1:46 Alanis reaction to Man-Donna's command: Priceless! xD

[@agnesmenger]

I am a madonna fan but i think she totaly took alanis for granted and the message to Alanis sounded arogant. then, Alanis was pretty cold about Madonna too..

[@donnaskillet]

Madonna has sold 200 million records worldwide.If twincestcide had sold one record,the anti-madonna opinion might mean more than it does.

[@rogo2658]

Alanis yes...Madonna...uffff

[@LePopPathetique]

@CAYOMluver That's exactly what I was thinking :P

[@punishedexistence]

My opinion is Alanis grew as an artist. Although I have no bad thoughts on Madonna, she's much like Slayer...she plays the same shit over and over, she's good, but really at one thing only; Alanis's music grows and grows. Again, it's my opinion, and no one really gives two shits about what I think. But I still love Alanis. She's the girlfriend of dreams, cause she don't fuck around, she gets to the point/ My 2 cents have been shared.

[@jimmonade]

punishedexistence you’re so incorrect about Madonna not changing. I mean hello

[@Irishmodel78]

Is this the same interviewer that she gave a hard time to when American Life came out, he is so cute!

[@DRDEEBB]

Alanis is far more cerebral than madonna.

[@ladymidnight80]

This was the Italian presenter cannot remember his name

[@Juniorstube1968]

All you people sound so ignorant. Watch the clip again, then you would retract your statements. If anything, Alanis sounds very ungrateful.

[@jb55236]

i don't think that's Alanis Morissette

[@fabricioaf89]

amo alanis e madonna, mas acho que uma ignora a existência da outra.

[@madonna25757]

MADONNA WILL YOU MARRY ME???????

[@1LuvsTimoK]

actually, i did not know madonna knew alanis, i hate madonna's music and i have been listening to alanis since i was very little. madonna does seem nice and all, but i like alanis so much better and her music is amazing. i dont even listen to madonna

[@MegKampen]

Madonna loves nurturing young artists and watching them flourish, like she did with Britneys Spears career with that "Kiss of death''? Alanis sees through Madonna because Madonna wants some of the credit and the money. Alanis would have been discovered by someone else. I think Madonna should be the grateful one.

[@Yadayadayada95]

seriously, fuck off. idiot

[@MegKampen]

Why don't you fuck yourself, you Madonna wanna be. She's an decrepit old has been now!

[@jimmonade]

Meg Kampen 2 years later... go fuck yourself. Idiot.

[@Juniorstube1968]

she said, for instance. not prince. Lets talk ignorant. BTW, she says she didnt discover her, Guy Oseary did. Look begore you leap!

[@zzzxtreme]

who's that cute interviewer?

[@fabricioaf89]

alanis deu uma bela cagada nessa resposta, como se nunca tivesse ouvido falar da madonna...

[@reality7777]

Hey illduce, if Madonna read your nasty statement about Morissette she'd give you an earful. No need to take someone down just because you like someone else. Sheesh.

[@stilldirrtyx]

Madge as cute as always.

[@Trudragon88]

wow an italian with dyed hair, i always picture them with a chefs hat and a pizza

[@DAVEJJR]

MYHOLLANDGIRL, you have some major issues with Madonna. I can't get over all your misconceptions, such as, her mom is Puerto Rican, and not French. Where do you get this stuff? You are so not on point! And by the way, it is a well known documented fact that Madonna writes her lyrics and has also been contributing the melodies. Say what you want about her, but at least be adult enough and also respectful to someones talent. Do yourself a favor and see a therapist before it is too late!

[@BL4NDY]

Prodigy ? Are you havin a laugh Girl ?????? Get over your self !!

[@CleverDjembe]

what a geek

[@OceanBlue82]

And it isn't!!!

[@sexualgorgeous]

this italian guy is hot

[@Alfarc83]

alanis writes about adolescense, who have you been listening to?? Madonna re-invented music?? She's just a great entertainer, and I like her but thats it and she's not even close to the talent in songwriting and singing that alanis has!!!!

[@salvolondon]

You can tell how money orientated is madonna. A real artist does not speak about how many records one has to sell, a real artist is deepr tan that. A real artist could sell very little record an still be an amazing artist

[@jimmonade]

Salvo Smith she is also a business woman who had money of her own invested in alanis.

[@tragickingdom15]

Damn, I hate Madonna. Alanis is the only good thing associated with that woman. I love you Alanis, you are the true queen!

[@AnahataMaryjane]

why do people conveniently forget alanis' teeny bopper albums in canada a few years before jagged little pill. she was already in the biz.

[@jimmonade]

αɴαнαтα love and she flopped miserably with that persona. Madonna and maverick allowed her to be herself and free to express herself how she wanted.
