ALANIS MORISSETTE THE BEST SINGER OF ALL TIMES

It isn’t weird for me to write about Alanis Morissette because I know everything about her and the most important thing is I know every detail about her songs.
She was born on June 1st 1974 in Ottawa, Canada. She has a twin brother and an older brother who is a yoga teacher.
In 1994 she recorded her first and most successful album of her career, “Jagged Little Pill”, selling over 20 millions records all over the world. Songs like “Ironic”, “Hand in my pocket”, “Head over feet”, and “You learn” made this album became so famous. In some songs of this album, Alanis expresses all of her anger against a man that destroyed her life. In songs like “You Oughta Know” you can feel all of her anger against him, like in the phrases “and every time you speak her name, does she know how you told me you’d hold me, until you died, ´til you died, but you’re still alive.” But she also expresses her love in songs like “Head over feet”, such as in the “don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are, I couldn’t help it, it’s all your fault.” This album has everything that Alanis feels: love, anger, fear, shame, etc. and is the best album of her musical career.
Then she wrote her second album called “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie”, with seventeen songs about her rebirth as a singer. Since she wrote “Jagged Little Pill” she said that she didn’t want to make more music because she didn’t know what to write about. She felt depressed because she had no inspiration so she took a trip to India and there, fortunately for all her fans, she found the inspiration that she needed and start to write again.
Then came “Alanis Morissette Unplugged” just right after when this album was recorded she came to Chile and presented her new album and sang songs from her two previous albums.
Then she wrote “Under Rug Swept”, and “So Called Chaos” and some others songs with other artists. She also wrote a song called “Uninvited” for the movie “City Of Angels.”
Alanis Morissette´s career is extensive and has ups and downs, but she became the most famous singer in 90´s. Now we don’t know much about Alanis because she is doing some projects alone, also she had participated in some TV series and some theatre performances but she is the best singer ever.
