I Can't Stand Alanis Morissette--what do you think of that?

[Orrex]

[taterguy]

1. why?

[Orrex]

6. I think it's the cat-pushed-through-a-colander voice

That, plus the tendency of critics to praise her trite caterwauling as genius.

[XemaSab]

2. I can't either

:toast:

[underpants]

3. I can

fool

[KitchenWitch]

4. Her whiny victim voice makes me want to yak.

[DS1]

5. I'd hit it, in a movie theatre, then go for popcorn

and leave

:popcorn:

[eyepaddle]

7. That, my fellow DUer, is an

excellent plan!

Wouldn't you see if you could send her for the :popcorn: ?

:hide:

[DS1]

9. Are you kidding? I'd feel compelled to give her 6 bucks for

the :popcorn: before she left.

I'm not pissing away 6 bucks.

[DrGonzoLives]

8. Clearly, you are racist against Canadians

Canuck-hater.

[mvd]

10. It's fine - just an opinion

I love her voice. It's one of the most emotional I've heard, but in a unique way.

[Orrex]

11. Fair enough--she's a little too shrill for my tastes, though

Not in her subject matter, but in the actual character of her voice.

[mvd]

12. See, that's what makes her appealing to me

It gives her edge, rather than just whine. We can agree to disagree. :hi:

Jagged Little Pill still hasn't been equaled by her IMO, though she's made good albums since.

[Orrex]

14. I own that one, actually

That stalker-ish song sort of creeped me out, but I'll grant that for raw emotional power the album stands out among mainstream offerings from that period.

I'm greatly fond of Ani Difranco who likewise has an unconventional voice but who strikes me as more consistently powerful in her sound and lyrics.

[mvd]

15. LOL

I DON'T like Ani's voice very much. It's warbly to me.

[Orrex]

16. That's it--let's step outside and settle this!

My girl-rocker could kick your girl-rocker's butt any day of the week!

:)

[mvd]

19. Better yet - let the two singers handle it

Though they probably like each other. :-)

[Orrex]

22. Oh wait a minute--you're a Flyers fan, no less!

If my town of Pittsburgh had a hockey team, I could pit them against yours as the undercard in our Alanis vs. Ani cage-match.

[mvd]

23. Not to get off topic, but my Flyers are still struggling

They finally pulled out a win last night - the hard way. Wait until they are full strength! :-)

[Orrex]

24. I remember when the Pens knew where the net was

So long ago...

[Beaverhausen]

13. She doesn't even know what "Ironic" means yet she writes a song about it

I can't stand her!

[AllegroRondo]

18. Thats the ironic part

[Beaverhausen]

21. .

:crazy:

[khashka]

25. I loved Jagged Little Pill

But her other albums just left me cold.

Still, she seems like a very interesting and likable person.....

Khash.

[MnFats]

27. Thank you! GAWD but I hate that song!!!

someone please explain to this woman the meaning of the word "IRONY!"
It's NOT "I expected one thing, and something else happened."
as in, roughly translated, "I had hoped for a sunny day when I got married. INstead, it rained."
THAT IS NOT IRONY.

Plus, Joni Mitchell, wise sage that she is, dissed her real bad.

[Beaverhausen]

29. Go Joni!

Joni is so down on the music biz these days. And I agree with her!

[Arugula Latte]

17. You oughta know

that I find her annoying, too. I kinda liked her when she first became popular, but the more I heard of her, the less I could stand her ... Now her voice is nails on the chalkboard to me. Too bad -- she seems kinda cool as a personality.

[MnFats]

28. THANK YOU! The guy in that song, the one she's singing AT, not to,...

..is thinking, "Jesus Christ I'm glad I got this f***** psycho out of my life!:

[Droopy]

20. I've got one hand in my pocket

and the other one is......you don't want to know.

[Nikia]

26. I like her art

She has substance.
