CANADAIAN-AMERICAN SINGER/SONGWRITER/ACTRESS

ALANIS NADINE MORISSETTE BORN JUNE 1ST,1974 IN OTTAWA,ONTARIO,CANADA.IS A GRAMMY AWARD WINNING SINGER WHO SINGS ALTERNATIVE,POST-GRUNGE,POP AND ELECTRONICA GENRES.I FIRST WAS EXPOSED TO HER MUSIC WHILE WATCHING MTV AS A TEEN.I FOUND THE VIDEO "IRONIC" TO BE ORIGINAL AND REFRESHING.STILL NOT FULLY UNDERSTANDING HER MESSAGE.SO ONE DAY BEING TIRED OF THE USUAL R&B,I BROUGHT HER CLASSIC ALBUM"JAGGED LITTLE PILL" NOW GRANTED IT WAS DIFFERENT, WHICH IS WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT.BUT I LOVED HER LYRICS.SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW TALENTED SINGERS WHO CAN SING,WRITE AWESOME LYRICS,TRULY EXPRESS HER FEELINGS AND STILL RELATE TO PEOPLE. AND SHE DOES ALL THIS WHILE MAINTAINING HER ORIGINALITY. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING HER PERFORM LIVE LAST OCTOBER(A CLIP FROM THIS CONCERT POSTED BELOW)AND SHE SOUNDS EQUALLY AS GOOD LIVE,IF NOT BETTER. I NOTICED THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON OF COLOR THERE,WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE ASIAN LADY. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE HER MUSIC IS NEITHER BLACK OR WHITE. HER MUSIC SPEAKS TO ALL. HER MUSIC,IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, SPEAKS OF LIFE. HER MUSIC TRANSENDS RACE,CREED OR NATIONALITY.HER LYRICS BEG THE LISTENER TO QUESTION. NO, SHE'S NO LADY GAGA OR BEYONCE' AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY SHE INSPIRES ME. SHE'S PROOF THAT A WOMAN DOESN'T HAVE TO COMPROMISE INTELLIGENCE FOR SEXUALITY. AS EVIDENT IN HER SONG" CELEBRITY" OFF HER "HAVOC AND BRIGHT LIGHTS" ALBUM.ON THIS TRACK SHE SPEAKS OF THE MIND SET OF THE "CELEBRITY". I JUST WANNA SAY " ROCK ON ALANIS" AND THANKS FOR YOUR INSPIRATION!!
