Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (1990 – present)

Alanis Nadine Morissette (born June 1, 1974) is a seven time Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter of alternative rock/pop music and occasional actress. She is the best-selling female rock artist of all time.

Her international debut album Jagged Little Pill (1995) became one of the most successful albums of all time with total worldwide sales estimated at thirty million copies. Five more studio albums followed – Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998), Under Rug Swept (2002), Feast on Scraps (2002), So-Called Chaos (2004), and Flavors of Entanglement (2008).

Early Life
Alanis Morissette was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, to school teachers Alan and Georgia Morissette. Her father is French Canadian and her mother is Hungarian. She has an older brother, Chad, and a twin brother named Wade. Between the ages of three and six they lived with their parents in Lahr (Black Forest), Germany.

Morissette showed a love for singing and songwriting at an early age. When she was 9 years old, Morissette wrote her first song. With the money saved from her stint on the children’s television show You Can’t Do That On Television, Morissette released an indie single Fate Stay With Me with the B-side Find The Right Man.

In New York City, Morissette landed a spot on Star Search, a popular televised American talent competition with her stage name of Alanis Nadinia. Morissette flew to Los Angeles to appear on the show, but lost after one round.

It's not fair to say an artist can't change their style from their "best" album (Which is JLP to a lot of people). Artists have to change it up sometimes to experiment and stay fresh. And then if they DIDN'T change, everyone would complain they're doing the same thing over and over again! So there's no winning. Then again, you can't please everyone. Personally I think Alanis has rocked in each of her efforts. I absolutely love her.

Well, that's true that she sings about clishes in the sense that she sings about general feelings and experiences concerning life, love, disappointment etc. I think that the majority of songs of any singer/songwriter are about these things as these are things everyone has experienced. And what really makes you like Alanis is that the idea she represents in her songs mean a kind of value for you.
