#YouOughtaKnow #AlanisMorissette #VocalCover
One of the best written songs of all time. I was just listening to her yesterday.
'You Learn' was my healing breaking up song of the day.
It’s very good, as with the rest of her stuff. Thanks for the comment!
heck of a vocal- wow
Thanks, Xavi! 😊🙏
Mate. You've got to mean it. It's not a "song", it's painful story she's telling, it's full or rage and blame and shame and anger. She's almost screaming the words. Anyway.
I prefer "all I really want" oh and... "you're uninvited" I get goosebumps with that one.
Anyway. Great voice man.
If you're ever looking for a songwriter.... give me a ping. Wishing you a groovy one....
I appreciate your feedback and passion for the art! I covered “Uninvited a few months back. I’d love to hear what you think. ua-cam.com/video/81uC5-LNO7w/v-deo.htmlsi=jmpgW6F-B4Mj71rl
I am a HUGE Alanis Morissette fan and you would make her proud!!! Well done, young man, well done.
Thank you so much! I’ll probably be putting out another version with more emotion soon. Hopefully a good comparison!
Excellent!!!
Thanks! 🙌
Damn !!!! You rock
I’m glad you think so 🤘🤘
I swear, if Alanis was gender swapped she would sound like this! You sound awesome!! That rasp in your voice is top notch! Lovely song, and lovely cover :)
Thank you so much! Very glad you liked it :)
Amazing Voice Great Artest!
Thank you so much!
Well done!
Not an easy song but a great one!
Andre
Thanks, Andre! Glad you liked it 🤘
❤❤❤
🙏
What a ride! My gosh you can sing & this is REALLY a hard one vocally. You're right on pitch with a great delivery. As you state this song is all about the passion, the only suggestion I have is that maybe at times you could look directly into the camera at your audience & connect them with that passion. Unbelievable job Alec.
Bo fanks, Meh! I appreciate that suggestion! 😊
Wow!!! Friggin Brilliant!!! Interesting hearing this from a dude's perspective...really no different when you get down to the whole concept...a scorned and disgruntled lover out to lay down the real deal to their *once upon a time* ...Your voice and intensity are fascinatingly beautiful! I do intend to follow you and find out where you're going further down the line. Please stay true to YOU and make your dreams happen! ~ Blessings-Gypsy
Thanks Gypsy! I appreciate the comment and the follow, very much. Really glad you liked what you heard!
I like the way you look. Good job
Hehe, thank you 🙏
Man, you remind me the greatest vocalists of the grundge era! Congrats! Greetings from Argentina
That’s a big compliment! Thank you very much 🙌
I loved it
Thank you!
I know I’m 11 months late to the party, but as an Alanis Morissette fan, I REALLY enjoyed your take. Your vocals were on point. Also, kudos for not changing the lyrics (most men do when covering songs written by women).
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you appreciated that. I think there’s a time and a place for that but usually I like keeping the original lyrics.
SUPER BRAVO from Italy!! I am studying it as well, but you are super powerful!🤟🤟🤟👏👏
Thank you so much! I appreciate it 🤘
You're definitely giving me some Mike Protich vibes with your vocal styling. No joke I had to Google the band Red Sun Rising just to see if you were their vocalist. And it's funny because they literally did the song Uninvited by Alanis, so I thought "he must really like her music!". No joke though you sound just like Mike!
Hey thanks man! That’s a big compliment. I just checked him out. Super good voice! I appreciate the comment 🤘
Just amazing, Alec ! Drive on point ! Very high-pitched song and you nailed it ! Just a heads up ... I don't know if it's possible, but a little bit, just a little bit of reverb or "hall effect" on post-production on your voice would lift it up and prolong your nice vocals even more. God bless, bro ! Salute you from Brazil, again ! You channel is a gem, dude ! Glad to be the 1st to comment it !
Thanks a ton! I thought about adding more reverb to certain parts but decided against it for this one. I’m glad to hear your opinion though! I’ll be more inclined to add reverb in the upcoming covers because of it 🙏
@@AlecSullivan I agree, given that the original had a lot of reverb or "big hall" effect and backing vocals. Your vocals in this cover are extremely strong. If you had a way to re-layer it with a backing track (you could sing those vocals too - Enya does it) it would massively improve this very excellent cover.
So after hearing you talk in the beginning about leaving comments about how you could improve, I went into it determined to find something and...well, I just can't. Dude, you killed it. Well done!
Thank you so much! That means a lot. It’s good when people have positive criticisms but very encouraging when I get comments like this. Thanks! 🙌
Wow, I like it!! You more than did that song justice and I love that grit in your voice.
Thanks a lot, Jenny! I’m glad you liked it 🙏
Excellent! I can't believe it. I got chills. Impressive!
Glad you liked it! 🙏
Amazing job!! And im glad you didnt change the lyrics!! Keep doing you!!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that 😊🙏
Love that cover of such an emotional song!! Excellent!!
Thank you, Sonia! I appreciate it 🙌
Amazing cover. You captured the feelings she was trying to convey. I wish I could sing like that.
I appreciate that 🙏 It’s definitely a tough song to sing, but I hope you have fun with it!
Wow!! Pure talent!!!
Thank you so much!
You didn't change the lyrics, that's awesome ! And it became a great gay anthem ! Love it !🤯🤩
Glad you like it! I prefer to keep lyrics the same unless I’m trying to intentionally change the meaning in some way. This one is hard to justify changing any lyrics!
Nice and very personalized interpretation 😊
Thanks! I appreciate that 🙌
Awesome! Great to see you doing these videos again.
Thanks, Gerald! I’m glad to hear that 🙏
I like your style and your own version of this epic song, Alanís is one of my favourite 90s singers ever. 🎉 Well-done dude!
Thanks so much! She’s amazing. I appreciate the comment!
@@AlecSullivan it's my pleasure, I've just suscribed to yr UA-cam channel. I'm from Guatemala City
@@chatio81That’s awesome. Thank you!
ARRASOU
Thank you! 🙏
Incredible cover!!!!!
Thank you, Cassie!! 😊
WOW!! LOVE THIS!! Keep up the 90's covers :)
Thanks Gina!! I plan on it 🕺
Great cover man 👏 Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 🤘
I recorded a version of me singing this song literally minutes before I watched this one. I will post it to my channel soon. I've sang this song in public at a karaoke bar at least once.
🤙
Very nice. I love it!
Thanks! I’m glad 🙏😃
Great cover!
Thank you! 😃🙏
❤I love it!🤘
Good Job👏
Amazing❤️🔥
Thank you, Christina! 🙌
Wow! Sounding and looking good!! You Rock!
Thanks a ton!
Wow! Nice. This is a challenging song! Great work, sir!!😊
Why thank you, Tah!
love it omg
Thanks a ton! 🤘
excellent
Thank you! 🙏
I thought you were going to do something a little different, but great cover. Years ago Cabrillo College near Santa Cruz was seeking talent for JCS and wanted songs similar to, but other than, actual songs from the soundtrack. This would have been perfect. I imagine you auditioning for...wait for it....
Judus.. very similar tone to "Heaven on our Minds"
I absolutely love that song! Been planning to do a cover at some point. I appreciate your encouragement!
Wow I absolutely love your voice you have control perfect pitch keep doing what your doing
Thank you! I’m glad you like it 🤘
Great
Thanks! 🙏
Um dos melhores covers que já ouvi da alanis com essa musica. you're awesome...
Thank you very much! 🙏
Love Alanis! Great job. Brings me back to my 20s. Lol. Love your belt brother.
Thanks, my man 🤘
awesome man!
Thanks a lot!
Hell Yeah, great cover. Enjoyed that you rolled with the original gender POV.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked that 🙏
Impressive
Thank you! 🤘
Wow!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏
You did a really good job.
Thanks! Much appreciated 🙏
thanks for singing! You sound really great! 👍
I’m glad you liked it!
it was so sexy having a guy sing it.ive always thiught we need not change pronouns in songs.
When You Were Mine(cough cough prince.
@@johndean4727🙌
Love you , love your style, and the lights effects that show a more than good sense of harmony , appealing ambiance. Big hug from Argentina ( I´ve just found you 5 minutes ago)!!
I appreciate your comments so much! Very glad you found me 🙌
@@AlecSullivan So kind of you to take your time to answer . Big big hug😍😍😍
@@alejandrarojas3064Of course!
Hard task for a male singer
Very, very good job
Awesome vocals - keep it up - try cover Cranberries or some grunge things
Thanks! Much appreciated. I have a few grunge covers on my channel but no Cranberries yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
It would be awesome for the man that she's dissing to respond in his own version of the song!!! You rocked it....
Thanks! I like the gender swapped versions sometimes but I prefer staying true to the original lyrics most of the time. I appreciate the comment!
Very nice 😁
Thanks! 🙏
You're very welcome 😁
great cover! rick beato has a great "what makes this song great?" on this track. worth a play as well!
I saw that that exists but I don’t think I’ve watched it. Definitely gonna do that now!
LIKE!!! Very good!!! Gabriel from Perú!!! Alanisssss!!!!
Thanks, Gabriel! 🤘
Great cover. So where is the cross-eyed bear now? ;)
Probably bumping into trees in the forest 😏 Thanks!
That’s gotta kill at karaoke! Loved it.
Oooh good idea 😄 Thanks!
You were off key on one part, but the rest is examplary, you're real good with megatons of potential. I think you'll go far in the music business
Thanks for the honest critique! I appreciate your support and kind words 🙏🤘
Listened to it a couple of times now. Amazing work. Now that I've blown some smoke up your... um... now let's have some constructive criticism. The way Alanis does this song, she's extremely staccato and decisive and precise. She HITS the mark. That's what really sets her vocals apart in this song. I noticed you were slightly sliding over some of those hard percussive staccato vocals. It's a little mushy, honestly, in the fast parts. They don't give gold medals at the Olympics to gymnasts who just sort of show up, kinda do a couple of flips, and land wherever. They give gold medals to the gymnasts who STICK THEIR FEET. They KNOW when they are going to do it and they DO IT. If you can incorporate this into your cover, it would go from being a good cover to a GREAT one. You know the song, you know the words, you can sing the notes... now you have to KNOW when those beats are. KNOW where the accents you want to stick are at. And STICK them.
I saw Alanis do this song live. She's not reciting a shopping list. The lyrics come out with the pain and anger of a jilted lover... she SPITS the words with a venomous energy. The song was EXHAUSTING to perform... you could see the sweat rolling off of her. She sang it with such energy, it was almost exhausting to hear! It wasn't just a recitation of lyrics that everyone knows. It was like being punched in the stomach with them. "Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you FEEL IT." It's visceral. She's seeing her former lover with another woman in public. She FEELS. This is her emotional outpouring, not just of her feelings, but also a punch-by-punch list of exactly what's wrong with this guy.
The scene in Whiplash... are you rushing or are you dragging? You need Fletcher to throw a cymbal at your head. You have the greatness within you. Now show it off to everyone else. You made a good cover. Now make it EXCELLENT. You can.
I appreciate the comment! I love how Alanis sings this song. I hear what you’re saying and will definitely take it with me going forward 🤘
Incredible range, I can’t believe you kept the original key! I like doing this one but I have to -4.
Thanks! I like the high pitched stuff so female vocalists are fun to cover 🤘
Look for Chiara Oliver’s version !
I’ll check it out!
Yes love it.Please cover Pearl Jam's Given to Fly.
Thanks! I’ll check it out 🤘
You have a good voice. This song sounded right on key. It is very much a passionate song, as you point out, and despite the passion of your singing, I didn't feel the same passion of emotions that I do in Alanis' original. I might say you seem too focused on the technical aspects - pitch, etc... - so that you have no energy left to give the feeling of the song.
I am glad you remember it when it was new. Kudos for picking this song.
Thanks for the input, Fiona! I appreciate your honesty and for this one, I agree with you. I think if I were more comfortable with the lyrics then I would have been able to rock out a bit more. Unfortunately I was trying to focus on remembering the words, which took away from the passion. I’ll keep that in mind for next time! 🙏
Your voice is great and a good match for this song. I guess if there was a change I would make would be to slooooww everything down more. Not so uptempo on the beats and not so uptempo on the singing. Will give it more feel. And give you more feel into each word you breathe out. ✌️
Thanks! That’s an interesting idea. Much appreciated 🙌
this is great.. only it's missing the emotional rage of a woman scorned.
I don’t disagree. Thanks for the comment!
Talented and sexy. Perfect
Oooh thank you 😁🙌
Nice one man!!! Would still love to hear you try Uninvited sometime!
Thanks man! I still have that on my list from when you suggested it and I think I’d like to do it as an acoustic cover or something where I can put more of my own spin on it. I appreciate you sticking around with my channel and still watching my videos! 😃🙏
@@AlecSullivan That’d be awesome!! Would def be curious to hear how you’d capture its world music vibes in your own arrangement. Looking forward to that day! And yes, definitely enjoying your channel in the meantime. :)
@@rpvee 😃 I'm also strongly considering doing a normal vocal cover of it. It's such a powerful song!
@@AlecSullivan Or both! 😂 hahaha but I know you’ll kill it either way.
@@rpvee 😄🙏
You should do some more covers or remakes, but when they are women's Songs change the lyrics So that its coming from a man and vice vers... and if you do duets Switch the parts. 👏👏👏👏 that was actually hella Cool, different, what a trip!!!
Thanks, Joseph! I like that idea. I have a few songs I’ve done that with. I’m glad you liked it! 🙏
Holy shit, you replied!!! Hell yeah, I've never had anyone reply before wow. But yeah like you did with Alanis morissette, I always wondered what that song and others that were female songs complaining about men or bashing men, I would try and remake them in my head but switched the genders, or the roles were revered. Or a playful retaliation mix or remix... Well you read my comment, who knows your turn around might go hella far and get hella big... But thanks for the reply and good luck brother. I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your music. This just hella made my day. Peace ✌️✌️✌️ out bro.
@@josephhoule4218 That’s great to hear! Yeah, I like your idea. I’ve done small bits of that type of thing in certain covers and it’s really fun. Thanks again!
I'd like to hear you sing it about 4 steps lower. Seems like the belting would be more effective if you dropped down a bit.
Interesting thought! I usually prefer to do the original key unless I’m doing an interpretation, but for the vocal covers I enjoy the belting. I have some other covers in that range though!
Sounds really crisp and clean. Good vocals but you have your emotions in check and didn't feel this song like it was written. It's a numbed down clean interpretation
Thanks for the honest, fair comment. I agree! I’ll probably do another version with more focus on the emotions.
Hi, Being Alanis's fan since the begging, I like your voice. However, you need to put more emotion and stick to it. You are in a good way, keep going
Thanks! I appreciate the honesty. I’ve gotten lots of similar feedback so I might put out a more emotional cover of it soon 👍 In the meantime, I hope you check out my more recent covers and enjoy them!
good cover but where's the pain?
Mostly in my left rotator cuff
@@AlecSullivan funny guy bring that with you for next one he he
@@jamesbrad71😁
Less dialogue
Thanks for the input! I put chapters in the videos for anyone that wants to skip to the song. Hopefully that helps!
Beautiful voice , but not angry enough emotionally, sorry 😢
I actually agree with you! No need to apologize. I’ll likely do another version with a lot more emotion. A lot of people have commented a similar thing. I appreciate the feedback!
I've listened to this a few times now , I've realised it's beautiful but the tempo just needs slowing down , catch a breath . Really showcase your voice . It could be incredible 💯
@@paulcartledge1814I appreciate the honesty and re-listens! I likely won’t do a slower version unless it’s an acoustic version, but that’s actually an interesting thing to consider. Thanks again!
Vocally it was fine but it lacked emotion. Where was the pain. I didn’t buy it but I do like your voice.
I appreciate the honest comment! I don’t disagree. I’ve thought about redoing this one with more emotion. I’d love to hear how you feel about my others!
You should switch the pronouns from she/her to he/him.
Make it from a Guys perspective.
I like to try to keep the original intent of the song as best as I can, so I don’t switch lyrics very often, but hopefully it’s easy enough to imagine! Thanks for the comment 🤘
You have a voice but your cover doesn't give any emotion.
I appreciate your opinion and don’t completely disagree! I might do a cover with more emotion since a lot of people have mentioned that, but I think the chorus got me going. Thanks for the comment!
@@AlecSullivan Not trying to be mean as you replied to me and I realized after the fact what I say can be read poorly. You have a great voice, I feel that you could definitely put more OOMPH into it and I'm sure you're going to prosper on youtube. :)
@@AggravatedCassowary.Thank you, I appreciate the clarification! And I totally agree with that. I’d love to hear what you think about my newest cover (Kate Bush). I definitely tried to keep it oomphy! 🙂
