Alanis Morissette Covering Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias Hit 'To All the Girls I've Loved Before'

I have been listening, playing, writing, and recording music for many years. Alanis, like many artists, has true telent and true genius. If not, her first hit would not have flashed to the top overnight, eventually selling 40 million copies. Not to mention her many successes thereafter. Do I like everythig she does: No(neither does she). My favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd. Do I love everything they ever did? No. But then again, I don't know of anyone who does everything I like -All the time. When it comes to Alanis, when she writes her own material, which is most of the time, she writes from personal experience, and how it effected her heart: she shoots straight from her soul. The ability to convey her soul in original words, using rhymes that have not been previously played to death by every other artist, along with similiar musical phrasing is where much of her genius talent lies: -not all, though. Perhaps the most magical element of her talnt and success is her pure honesty in revealing her feelings. She is obviously willing to be vulnerable counting it as the price we pay in being true. Rock on baby .. your beautiful! Make all the mistakes you need -I'll always love you!

Better yet, Alanis: Do a DUET with Olivia "Sandy" Newton-John!

amazing,ususal...

She should cover Abba's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" in her signature grunge style - that would be totally frikken awesome!

She's done plenty of Covers. Go on iTunes and look up her Unplugged album. She does Police, and others. You might like it.

I love Alanis. She is my favorite artist of all time! The way she passionately encompasses the listener is incredible. And for the obvious non-listeners of Alanis, she does NOT do covers all the time and she writes PLENTY of original poetic music. Somehow because this article points out two covers it translates to her doing a million covers. Not even remotely. She has five internationally released albums in which she wrote or co-wrote every single song.

To all those out there who wish to insult instead of just hear with honest open minds. Alanis is a good strong person. She has the right to try out her own versions of any songs she has permission to cover. For people who don't understand why she would choose this, sure everyone has a right to think for themselves. Judgement on the other hand is just plain wrong. When you walk down the street, when you shop in a store, when you wear your misunderstood wardrobes, when you slander another...you are judged. Let the lady sing. She's got a great voice, which alot of people would love to have. Janis Joplin....what a subject...lets not forget most of the time she was behind a mic, she was wasted beyond all recognition. Oh, but then again...I'm talking to most likely alot of people who were not even alive when she perished.
Talent is understood by the listener. Even Janis had her own way to tell of her pain. Question is, when will you have the courage to tell yours, or will you just keep on judging like a hypocrite? Alanis, do what you want...some of us have been listening and hearing you more than you know. For those who were thinking your songs make them feel suicidal, perhaps they should listen to some 80's pop...its all thier small fragile minds can handle.

I've always thought Alanis should do a James Bond song. She would do an amazing job!

This new is so COOL!
I love the music of Alanis Morissette, I can't wait to hear the new song.
