    The way she transitions from full chest voice belting into falsetto back to chest voice is, well, perfection

    "The first song to be shown to record company people, "Perfect" was written and recorded in twenty minutes. The version of the song that appeared on "Jagged Little Pill" was the only take that the pair recorded. Morissette improvised the lyrics on the spot, and Glen Ballard played guitar." - wiki

      I just read your comment a year after you posted it. Wow, that's such a powerful realization and it makes you a better human being for acknowledging it. In addition, it inspires us to become better human beings too. Thank you!

      This song should be played before any parent is allowed to take their newborn home. Then played every year on their B'day as a reminder.

    I love how she always makes sure to make at least one part of the song sound a little rough so it isn’t “perfect”

    This album came out when I was a teenager and I was going through it with my parents. I would have this song on repeat in my Sony discman and I would bawl my eyes out. She wrote and sang my life and so many of my friends. Thank you

    I love this song and the message the lyrics send. I’ve never heard a better description of parents who live their life through their children., Putting undue pressure on them to be the best at everything they do. This premise is so true especially in today’s society. The song is so relative.

    I was walking in the Broad Ripple area in Indianapolis in early 1996 and on the sign of "The Patio" nightclub (doesnt exist anymore), it said "Alanis Morissette $5". Sadly, I kept walking. 6 months later she came back to Indy and sold 20,000 tickets to a concert. I wish I would have seen her at the club. Finally, I will see her next week at the same venues she sold the 20,000 tickets too 25 years ago. Alanis is so good.

    Living in Amsterdam when i first heard the album Jagged Little Pill....blew my mind all that summer unlike any of the other mind blowing substances available in that city, all of which pale into insignificance when compared to the experience of listening to that album.

    This is how I learned to treat myself. Got to try a little harder...got to measure up...to make them proud.
    The problem is that you’re constantly putting on the mask of happiness while never achieving the ideal person you were taught you must be.
    It’s not good enough to make me/ them proud.

    Don't particularly like the version, it's tuned for the audience that watches Leno, of course, I get that. It's overall too sweet and melodic, it's missing the voice beatings that are so well presented in the album version. I miss the 90's.
