Man, when she smiles there’s nothing better.

[jamesroman]

Her voice and the way she throws her head back when she sings is a dead giveaway, lol. I love it! She's a gem! Always looks so radiant!

[patkajape]

"No one knows it's me and Alanis"

[mattypants]

Her voice is too unique to disguise who it is.

[wholoveskitty]

I love how every woman in the audience knows the words to You Oughta Know! ❤️💕❤️😂🤣

[jbt]

I would have recognized her voice in 2 seconds and crapped my pants.

[ILoveSweetApple]

This brings me back to my teenage years, when I started buying English albums in order to learn the language. And I was deeply overwhelmed by her powerful voice and shocked by the lyrics.

[surfingthedarkness]

The pure happiness of the people in the crowd feeling just endlessly lucky. That for some reason makes me cry like a baby 🤣

[intashacated]

Just saw her in concert 3 nights ago and she’s PHENOMENAL!! She ROCKED that stage. Her voice is so powerful and one of a kind. Love her!!

[qyywlnn]

She's awesome. One of the best unique voices I've heard

[AE-ixiz]

She from my time! 90s was a great decade!

[tigergreg]

I can't believe how good looking she is. She looks amazing. Her voice is so clear

[_kass]

Totally love Alanis. Takes me back to my early 20’s

As soon as this disguised girl starts singing, nothing can hide her massive singing talent from being recognized... Alanis Morissette, you ROCK :-)

[paullord]

I had forgotten just how great she was and how much I used to enjoy listening to Jagged Little Pill many moons ago. Thanks to YouTube I have been on a 24 hour Alanis binge. Still drop dead gorgeous and her smile during this is just infectious, love it!!

I just saw her at Apollo Theater on December 2nd performing Jagged Little Pill album in acoustic. She has such an infectious energy! I love her personality. Such an intelligent, and truly kind hearted soul. She has that vibe that's truly hard to find in people, and really sticks with you and is inspirational. Also sounds AMAZING live..no lip syncing. Gorgeous inside and out!! Thanks Alanis for the great music, book recommendations, psychological knowledge (from podcasts, her music, and books), humbleness, maturity and the extra kindness you instilled in me through my time following you as an artist. I'm 22 and been listening to you since I was 14. Wish I grew up in the 90's and saw you in concert !

Just when you think you couldn't love Alanis any more than you already do, she does this.

[epolo]

I LOVE when Jimmy does these busking videos!!! So excellent & Happy 25, to Alanis' "Jagged Little Pill"! It's 25 yrs later & that album still bumps!!🤩🙌🏽💖💕

[MrWhoevr]

Jagged Little Pill was the best cd made during the 90s.
