You guys should look up the reasons why she sang this song; Billie Joe Armstrong was supposed to perform on that very day, but he couldn't because he was going through a difficult situation regarding drugs and/oir depression, and that was her way to acknowledge him, to pay tribute to him and tell him she was there for support. And you have no idea of how thankful he was when he knew about this, so, this is an artists thing. And apparently you guys do not understand art in its different forms of expressions. No matter what version it goes, it is an awesome song, and Alanis just showed 1 more time how big she is as a spirit.
Green Day were supposed to play that night but the evening before Billie had the Las Vegas meltdown so she was asked to step in. She didn't have to sing this, she could have sung her own song to promote herself but no she did this out of respect. I think it's a nice interpretation of this song and I am a massive Green Day fan.
Everyone's talking saying this cover is bad because it doesn't sound like Green Day but I disagree. Green Day sings Basket Case in a very humorous way but if you listen to the lyrics, they're actually quite sad. They describe a man tormented by mental illness. Alanis' performance really brings that across, and it's all the more touching considering what Billie Joe was going through at the time
well, as a 290% irish gay dude, irish people need to fucking cry more. so thank god Alanis is here to make this happen whenever we need it, bc i can't listen to this and not cry. what a blessing, truly
I love this version. BJ Armstrong wrote this about his own anxiety disorder and wrote a punkie version, which is fine. Anyone who suffers from anxiety knows that this is a fitting interpretation of the song.
alanis is going to go ahead and break you the fuck down as well, because you need it and because you deserve it. cry it out, sweet babe. you'll be better for it.
It's crazy how she makes it sound original. I thought it was a joke at first but then I found out why she did the song. It gives the song a whole new meaning to me
There are so many great things about this cover. First, the reason why she did it. Second, how she made it her own, a last but not least how she made us pay attention to the lyrics in a very deep and sad way. It's just heartbreaking.
She didn't ruined the damn song. -First of all, this is a cover. Doing a cover means take someone elses song and do it in your own style. -And this was while the time bj was in rehab, so it couldn't be happy and fun as always.
+Julia Bailone exactly i write this on every fcking cover video xD about this one, i like the original way better but this is a very nice version - interesting also
Great cover, beautiful voice, and put her spin on it. She wasn't trying to do better than Billy Jo, just pay tribute to him while he was in a bad place. I think that deserves many many thumbs up. Green Day + Alanis = PERFECTION
Perfection. This is exactly what you do when you cover a song. You make it your own version the original has already been done. This was brilliant for Billie Joe not being able to be there.
Of course basket case is a punk song. But see........ she did an amazing job. It is beautiful. You have to see things from a different point of views..... just grow up
The lyrics really fits what I'm going through and it's hard to express, and no one cares.. When I first sang it out on my guitar I literally choked on every line and burst in tears..Especially when that lines come in "grasping to control So I better hold on"
So beautiful, so humble, so well done. All of the instruments complimented her astounding voice. Green Day is so phenomenal and Alanis Morissette is ever elegant and poised. It was so original even for a cover it was nice to hear this in an adagio. She hit all of the notes so precisely. Billie Joe A is a genius and a rebel, it's just amazing :D.
i love how people have absolutely no idea why she even did this cover yet they talk shit....go check it out and you'll be changing your tune....great job Alanis
Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid Or am I just stoned? I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?
You see, Alanis made a punk song looks incredible peacefull and thoughtfull, the truth is just a point a view and everything is what we want it is. Alanis is a genious and basket case is a awesome song in any flow.

Exactly man! Its a shame that more people don't see this comment before commenting themselves
Well done Edi.
If that’s true chapeau
great insight she is a beautiful person
@@Alessandro-fk8tj Billi was in the hospital for psychiatric treatment, she came in last minute. It's very much true.

it makes me love her even more, but i can only watch it if i know i need to cry because it breaks me every time.

its an irish thing. they could sing the most twisted vices in very cheerful way. so you could keep your spirit in the most dark places.
well, as a 290% irish gay dude, irish people need to fucking cry more. so thank god Alanis is here to make this happen whenever we need it, bc i can't listen to this and not cry. what a blessing, truly
Shit sucks.
Staggering. One of the best covers I have ever heard,...
Hauntingly beautiful
"Basket Case" I never imagined this in that way... All a new song... Alanis AMAZING GENIOUS!!!
I love this version. BJ Armstrong wrote this about his own anxiety disorder and wrote a punkie version, which is fine. Anyone who suffers from anxiety knows that this is a fitting interpretation of the song.
Its so true

Everybody can do cover version, but not anybody can do it well.This is great cover.
She didn't ruined the damn song.

Human Potato, exactly...
Ok. But her own style... sucks!
and... what are you gonna do? haha... it sucks!
True dat Holmes, I thought it sounded great.
she made it sound like she is the original singer of the song ❤️

ua-cam.com/video/uOzMH46oD3c/v-deo.html
its whats she does.
Quintessential Alanis! She put her own spin on it
Perfect song. make me cry
Wow. Incredible how different the song feels when performed this way. The lyrics seem to take on a whole different meaning.
It's about an anxiety/panic disorder. The song is very fitting. Not only because BJ has several. But as someone with them, it's exactly how it is.
WoW didn't see that coming.....she makes Basket Case so soothing
Great cover, beautiful voice, and put her spin on it. She wasn't trying to do better than Billy Jo, just pay tribute to him while he was in a bad place. I think that deserves many many thumbs up. Green Day + Alanis = PERFECTION
Not even an Alanis Morissette Fan but damn, that was a good cover. And this is what a cover is all about - your own damn style, not emulating.
Grew up in the 90's. This is beautiful.
Perfection. This is exactly what you do when you cover a song. You make it your own version the original has already been done. This was brilliant for Billie Joe not being able to be there.
i come back to this performance every couple months when i need a good cry. it was so sweet and amazing for her to do this.
Damn this cover made this song to whole new level..... Love you Alanis
Stunning version of a fab song - and she gets quite emotional at the “Grasping to control” piece - and, frankly, so did I.
Alanis is so emotional in this video... what an amazing version
Respect. Great cover by an Amazing Singer. Anyone that can cover my favourite bands songs I have great respect for. Good job Alanis!!!
I love her cover of this...she puts it at a ballad!! WTG Alanis!!
Amazing interpretation and delivery! She is a great musician.
What a cover! Thanks Alanis for this.
Omg i'm in love with this cover Alanis version is sooo pretty😍😘
Of course basket case is a punk song. But see........ she did an amazing job. It is beautiful. You have to see things from a different point of views..... just grow up
Agreed with u
Well said!
This is great, it just is. Bravo Alanis.
Fabulous cover!
She made the song her own...amazing
Perfect Alanis! As usual... Love ya.
waait.. why is this bad? i think it's wonderfull and she has a beautiful voice. its also fun to hear a different cover of basket case.
+JustAnotherPunkKid I agree. This is probably better than the Green Day version.
+Avi Greene you are an idiot
+Avi Greene fuck you
Don't you speak to me like that! We can like what we want to like, and have our own opinions. In mine: This > Avril Lavigne > Green Day.
I like this version.
nice melody,,, ,nice back up,, nice piano, i love alanis since alternative rock time,,,
This is so kind of her, when our beautiful and small BJ went to rehab. Its so sad But to see How happy Billie got was just so so cute❤️
Beautiful.
Mano pqp o cara compôs essa música zerou a vida
she is such a beautiful person
I found this by accident, this is crazy... Both 'Dookie' and 'Jagged Little Pill' made me who I am musically.
This Charming LoveHound that’s a wild thing. Two pretty different albums. I loved both as well when they came out. Still love those albums.
🤘
@@hankmoody940 aa
beautiful cover
Awesome is Alanis Morissette!
emozionante...!
I love her voice and spirit.
Best version ever?!

Seria demais eu dizer que amo a Alanis e o Green Day e que achei esse cover divino? Gente, eu to sem palavras, na boa. Muito amor envolvido! ❤
Now i understand the lyrics of this song :)

Beautiful
I usually don't like these kinds of covers of rock songs but this is really good! Her voice is golden
Perfeita!!!! Alanis, a canção, a tristeza.
Beautiful creation
Awesome rendition of this song. Loved it!
This is just too much awesomeness!
one of the best covers in the world.
Awesome!
The lyrics really fits what I'm going through and it's hard to express, and no one cares.. When I first sang it out on my guitar I literally choked on every line and burst in tears..Especially when that lines come in
"grasping to control
So I better hold on"
Wow! Amazing!
So beautiful, so humble, so well done. All of the instruments complimented her astounding voice. Green Day is so phenomenal and Alanis Morissette is ever elegant and poised.

Simplemente hermoso, como siempre Alanis creo que Billi debe estar orgulloso
Me amarro nessa música, muito linda.
problema que esse ritmo não e o original, o original e mais legal
+Roberto Esponja conheço a versão original, mas gostei bastante dessa. Ritmo lento, suave. Ficou legal!
+Lucas Nunes de Andrade Caraca, esse foi o comentário mais rápido que eu ja vi
+Roberto Esponja kkkkkkkkkk sou militar há 5 anos, e exatamente há 5 anos durmo de 2 a 3 horas por dia apenas. Tô acordado aqui. Kkkk
+Lucas Nunes de Andrade oloko 😂😂😂😂
AMO LA VERSIÓN DE MI ALANIS MORISSETTE BRAVO BRAVISIMOOOOO CARAJOOOOO

OMG!! Worlds can not express how awesome this is, my two idols together in one song!!! Love them forever Green Day and Alanis!!
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
I love this version.
It was very good
curoso cover
A música ficou maravilhosa na voz da Alanis. Amei!
think i may have to listen to this on loop for the whole ay
Daniel Frieman me too
Versão maravilhosa !!
Ummmmm .... WOW! Hello. This gave me the chills. The good kind of course :-) ...Nicely done

I love it ❤️ that was so nice of her
My God I loved this so much!
You see, Alanis made a punk song looks incredible peacefull and thoughtfull, the truth is just a point a view and everything is what we want it is. Alanis is a genious and basket case is a awesome song in any flow.
Perfect slow motion! :)
i love this version
PQP! Melhor versão já feita?!
Arraza
Amo essa canção...
Muito top
Great great great lyrics
Great cover of basket case it sounds great stripped down
She made a very upbeat happy song very depressing...
morgan nelson It's not a happy song lol
Well not the meaning but the beat anyways. *****
morgan nelson Remember, she played God, and God is all infallible and shit. So....you know....be careful. =P
I have no idea what your talking about....? Gormdor Wolfcum
***** So when you play greenday's song your not like rocking out to it?.....happy song.
This was a lot better than I thought it would be!!!!
You suck
+RadicalRadness I was just fucking saying my opinion you butt hurt piece of shit..
well, that was awesome
;)! didn't expect that twist, but it came out pretty well
Good job Alanis... good job :')
TE AMO ALANIS 😍😍😍😍
I wanted to cry when Alanis started tearing up near the end. Stay strong, Billie Joe!
One of the best
