The anger makes a big difference I think! Plus, Alanis engages with her audience, e.g. on 'Ironic' she is imparting her vast knowledge of said word to help out the dictionary-lacking listeners, on 'Thank U' she acknowledges that there is an outside world there somewhere [um...I've run out of Alanis songs, which is shocking considering I knew all the words to 'Jagged Little Pill' off by heart 13 years ago, so much so that I gave the inlay sleeve to my chum Karina when I taped it for her]. This doesn't make it any good at all of course, but Natasha really is on a different planet. Planet Natasha. Population: 1.
