Alanis Morissette's 1995 international debut Jagged Little Pill became one of the most successful albums of all time. The raw intensity of the album's first single, "You Oughta Know", led Morissette to be labeled the "first lady of rage", though the album itself contained only two songs that hinted at any sort of anger or resentment. Since the extraordinary success of Jagged Little Pill, Morissette's popularity has waned as singers such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera gained attention, though she is still one of the industry's premiere female singer/songwriters. Her latest album, So-Called Chaos, on which she received sole writing and co-producing credits, sold over 115,000 copies in its first week of release.

Alanis Morissette NEWS and Alanis Morissette Info

The early years
Alanis Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, to schoolteachers Alan and Georgia Morissette. She has an older brother, Chad, and a twin brother, Wade.

Morissette showed a love for singing and songwriting at an early age. When she was 9 years old, she went to the home of singer Olivia Newton-John, one of her early idols, and said over the intercom at the front gates: "Hi, I'm Alanis. I want to meet you one day and I want to be famous, just like you."

In that same year, Morissette wrote her first song, "Fate Stay With Me", at the age of 9:

I wanted money and hope and
A dream to carry me forever
This is all the hope I got left
Help me to get it together, now
I can sing or act or dance but I still won't get far
Unless you help me, please, to be a big star
With the help of her childhood mentor Leslie Howe, Morissette released "Fate Stay With Me" when she was 11 years old. A year later, Morissette auditioned for a role on the Canadian children's television show You Can't Do That on Television, shot in Ottawa, her hometown. Morissette became a recurring cast member, but left after one season.

With the support of her parents and a relentless desire to succeed, Morissette traveled with Howe to New York City to meet with record executives, an experience that she would later write about in songs such as "UR" (from the album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie):

Take a trip to New York with your guardian
And your fake identification
When they said, "Is there something, anything
You'd like to know, young lady?"
You said, "Yes, I'd like to know what kind of people
I'll be dealing with".
In New York City, Howe helped Morissette land a spot on Star Search, a popular televised American talent competition. Morissette flew to Los Angeles to appear on the show, but lost after one round.

Alanis Morissette and the Jagged Little Pill era

Swallow it down, what a jagged little pill
It feels so good, swimming in your stomach
Wait until the dust settles
- from the song "You Learn"
In 1995, at age 20, Alanis Morissette released her first international album, Jagged Little Pill (lyrics (http://www.angelfire.com/mi/wojtkiewicz/jagged.html)). Expectations for the album were low, and Morissette's manager and long-time friend Scott Welsh would later admit that he didn't expect the album to sell any more than around 250,000 copies. The album debuted at number 118 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Things changed quickly, however, when a Los Angeles deejay from an influential radio station stumbled onto "You Oughta Know" and began playing it non-stop:

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you
To be open wide, no
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
"You Oughta Know" instantly garnered attention for its use of the word "fuck", one of the first times the word was used by a playlisted female artist. (The caustic lyrics were supposedly inspired by a bad relationship with Full House star, Dave Coulier.) The video went into heavy rotation on MTV and radio. Listeners were shocked, unnerved and delighted by the song, which emerged during a time when testosterone and male rage (in the form of grunge) dominated the airwaves. As one fan put it: "Finally, someone who's speaking for me".

While "You Oughta Know" was a hit, it was the seemingly endless series of singles following it that sent Jagged Little Pill on its meteoric rise to the top. Second single "Hand In My Pocket" showed a calmer, mellower Morissette reflecting on her life, while third single "All I Really Want" made a casual reference to the Charles Dickens novel, Great Expectations:

Jagged Little Pill was a phenomenal success. It went on to sell 16 million copies in the United States alone, over 30 million copies worldwide, and its singles have become some of the most recognizable songs of the decade. A backlash, however, was quickly brewing.

Morissette at the Juno AwardsMorissette was dismissed by some as a record industry puppet. She was attacked for collaborating with producer and supposed image-maker Glen Ballard, though Morissette was responsible for all of Pill's lyrics and much of the album's music, and such a collaboration was not uncommon for many solo artists at the time.

Others called her sudden image change "calculated", "manipulative" and "greedy", while fans countered that such criticisms failed to acknowledge the possibility that Morissette may have grown artistically since she was a 17-year-old.

Despite this backlash, the album was nominated for six Grammy Awards. At the 1996 ceremony, Morissette performed a moving rendition of "You Oughta Know", one that all but drained the anger from the song, leaving only an air of sorrow and remorse. That night, Morissette won awards for Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album.

Later that year, Morissette embarked on a one-and-a-half year world tour in support of Jagged Little Pill, beginning in small clubs and ending in large venues. The DVD Jagged Little Pill, Live chronicled the bulk of this tour.

In response to the Super Bowl halftime controversy that occurred earlier in 2004, and the stricter Federal Communications Commission regulations that followed, Morissette changed the first line of her song, "Everything", from "I can be an asshole of the grandest kind" to "I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind" for radio.

"Everything", the first single off of Morissette's fourth international studio album So-Called Chaos, was released to radio in March 2004.

In April 2004, Alanis Morissette hosted the Juno Awards of 2004, which was held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Sporting a short, new hairdo, Morissette looked like a drastically different person from the angry, long-haired woman who once wrote and sang "You Oughta Know".

At the event, Morissette satirized the public outrage caused by Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident during the Super Bowl. Stepping out of a nightgown and wearing a semi-nude bodysuit, Morissette said, "We live in a land Canada where we still think the human body is beautiful and we're not afraid of the female breast."

The joke was, however, that Morissette was still forced to "remove" her pasted-on nipples and pubic hair because they were not allowed to be shown on public television.

Morissette's music video for the single "8 Easy Steps" featured various video clips spanning her career in music, film and television. Beginning in present day and passing through former videos, movie and T.V. clips and eventually childhood footage, the clips were digitally edited to make it appear that Morissette was singing the song at all of those times.

In May 2004, Morissette released So-Called Chaos. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 chart to generally favorable critical reviews. On May 18, 2004, the cable channel Oxygen taped an unprecedented eight hours of live footage, showing Morissette in New York City promoting the release of her new album.

In June 2004, Morissete announced her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds. The date of the wedding has not yet been finalized.

In July 2004, Morisette appeared in the motion picture De-lovely, a tribute to composer Cole Porter. She performed the song "Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love", and had a brief acting role as an anonymous stage performer.

On 11 February 2005, she became a naturalized citizen of the United States while still maintaining her Canadian citizenship. Morissette refers to herself as a Canadian-American.

In February 2005 she did a guest appearance on the Canadian television show Degrassi: The Next Generation along with Dogma co-star Jason Mewes and director Kevin Smith.

She is set to release her upcoming album, an acoustic version of Jagged Little Pill later in 2005. CNN has reported that the album will at first be exclusively released at Starbucks coffee shops, much like Ray Charles's successful album Genius Loves Company.

Alanis Morissette Plots Acoustic Little Pill Tour
Six-week summer outing will kick off on June 7 in Toronto.

by Gil Kaufman
She's already been naked in a video, but this summer Alanis Morissette will hit the stage musically exposed for her first-ever acoustic tour. The six-week outing will promote the June 13 re-release of her breakthrough 1995 album, Jagged Little Pill, which is being reissued with a newly recorded acoustic version.

The 27-date tour is slated to kick off on June 7 in Toronto and wrap up on July 17 in Costa Mesa, California. The new version of Jagged Little Pill will be sold only at Starbucks for the first six weeks.

The singer will be backed by her current touring band, and she is having a blast performing fresh versions of her hits. "I am having so much fun playing these newly interpreted songs," Morissette said in a statement from her current European tour. "I notice that different layers of emotions emerge with these songs being broken down and revisited. I can't wait to tip my hat to this record in a way that also references the present and the future."

Morissette re-teamed with Jagged producer Glen Ballard to record the acoustic versions, marking the first time the two have worked together since 1998's Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. The acoustic album features interpretations of such signature hits as "Hand in My Pocket," "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic," as well as the hidden track "Your House." The anniversary edition will also feature footage from 1995 and additional bonus material.
