"This song always gets me. Any song always gets me, who are we kidding?" Agreed 😂

WOW. I’ve seen & heard so many renditions of this song and always secretly favored Sara’s, there was always something where I was like ‘nah… I liked it better the way Sara does that part’ and when she started I was expecting to feel the same…. And then she blew me away. Wow wow wow. Thanks for sharing this.

I thought she did really well. I like her interpretation. She’s captivating. I was moved by her delivery. Her rendition is one of my favorite among hundreds on KZfaq.

I ugly cried. You remained much more composed than I did.

I came not knowing what to expect, because I remember in previous comments people kept asking about you reacting to this, and you had reservations, so I never expected to see it here. I gotta say as a super fan of Morissette (My love and respect for her knows no bounds) and super fan of Broadway (started with Annie in 3rd grade lol and once found myself backstage during a 3 month run of "The King and I' at my Citys theater where my daughter played "Princess ying Yaowalak") I walked away from this reaction with thoughtfulness and it didn't get my heart rate up ,or get me defensive lol. I think having a healthy knowledge about all things Morissette and a personal love for Broadway helps me here. Many may not know, but her Managers are heavily linked to Musical theater in the Phillipines. Pop is actually not their Wheelhouse. She's got some grounding there. I'm the type of Broadway fan (if there is a type) that I HAVE to have exceptional vocals AND exceptional embodiment of the character. If the Vocals are lacking I just can't deal, because I didn't pay all that money to see a play. I paid for a musical (so please bring the vocals) you cannot act your way out of subpar vocals for me (again that is just me). Therefore she satisfies me here in full given the circumstances. (I get your contention with the trappings of the circumstances as well ,but everyone did the best they could during that time heck still are, we're still zooming out here ). When we saw this performance "live" (by that I mean when it premiered.) It was one song in a series of Broadway selections, so she'd talk then sing. It is tough from her stand point (and you touched on this). She's centering herself in and out of a range of emotions and characters. In this session she went from Jenna to Kim (Miss Saigon) , to Grisabella (Cats) to Lucy (Jekyll & Hyde) to name a few. I also appreciate you pointing out the limitations of a track vs live accompaniment ! I wish more people understood that, not just here, but just period when people are performing. I'm again long winded ,but I'll wrap this up by saying , this song is just some of the BEST writing for a musical hands down! I remember Sara saying when asked about how this song has taken on a life of it's own. (It's been sung by Men, Little kids, Gospel singers in cafes you name it!) She said her songs are like her babies and she wants all her babies to have long lives. I'm proud my Girl Morissette is part of that link.

Morissette just enjoy singing. It's a fact that this is not her main genre. She's not afraid to explore outside her comfort zone.

Great version. And totally her own read on it. So many other (all be it great) versions have similar dynamics and phrasings. They try to deliver a performance reminiscent of the recording to meet expectatuons. This just seems uniquely her own.

Thank you for featuring Morissette. I think your reaction and inputs are fair. In an ideal set-up, she's going to be at her best. One thing great about her, she's focused when she performs. I agree that she's a gift to music.

19:54, I see she made you emotional there!

Very thorough analysis. She has an amazing voice.

Still having goosebumps even though I've seen this video several times.

Wow, that performance would've brought Lucifer himself to tears. I couldn't hold back either

Most amazing voice I've heard.. so much emotions . One of the best like Barbara Whitney Celine Beyonce . Listening to her voice is like feeling each words... I've got goosebumps 😱👍👍👍😍😍

I truly love Mori and This is one of my favorites ever performances and I don’t think those hating have seen the full reaction. I thought you did right Marc I’m sure should Mori see this she would appreciate your advice. Keep it on

MORISSETTE 🇨🇦present this song is very emotional for Mori is a gift that she can sing this kind of song.another proof that her voice fits in any genre and she has that unbelievable beautiful tone and voice remarkable phenomenon no one sing like her nowadays amazing extremely talented artist extraordinary young girl no bad habits she’s a CHRISTIAN and very humble. and if she become a independent artist,she’s going to take on the music industry like a hurricane and no one can stop her. Mori talent speak for itself.Thank you Marc great reaction just subs 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This is the analysis that we've all been waiting for this performance - thank you, Marc!

She such a beautiful singer... so powerful and emotion when she sings.

I feel like she realized quickly that every time she looked at herself it was pulling her out of character and thats when she started closing her eyes or looking off to the side so as to stay grounded in the emotion more.

WOW, that gave me goosebumps and made me cry. Beautiful. I have heard this song so many times, and love it more every time I hear it. Fingers crossed Waitress eventually comes to Australia so I can see it live.

Morissette 🤘🥰

Love this video Marc, love that you are so honest and comfortable with your emotions. Loved the way you let this video play through before doing your commentary over it - it meant you could appreciate the artist/song more clearly first, then appreciate the breakdown. Anyway more of this format please.

This was an incredible in-depth review, I love it so much! More of these please! You pointed out something we didnt notice and it all makes sense why she performs way better live where there’s no screen to make her feel conscious about herself.

Marc, thank you for your thoughtful reaction to Morissette’s rendition but I listened to the original and I like Morissette’s version better. Given the circumstances, she sang this at the convenience of her own home during the lockdown, via zoom for her fans. This is her own interpretation of the song WITHOUT a theater coach. And you yourself reacted with tears at the end. Somehow the delivery of the song moved you. You said you always tear up when you hear this song… it is NOT the song the made you cry. It was the way it was sung and delivered by the artist that made you tear up!!!! And I am disappointed you did not acknowledge that. Listen to “Could you be Messiah” a song written by Gary Valenciano, rearranged and given to Morissette to sing.

9:15 I think you misunderstood that. She wasn't looking at herself. There wasn't a monitor there. She's at home. 'Twas a lock down there. Barely any equipment. It's like she was looking away as if she's looking back to something that's kind of bittersweet while telling someone about it. -- Although I know it's a hard and emotional song, there are a few moments where the character was looking back to something that WAS good. She's remembering how her life was when she was younger, before all the shit went down so there were little smiles. Idk the entire story of the waitress, but based on just the lyrics, I think she was doing just fine there. At least that's how I see it. I love this reaction by the way. Very thorough and honest 💯💯💯

Very insightful, transparent and no bias reaction. Thank you for reacting to Morissette, i immediately subscribed.

I just wanted to say that watching your videos has helped me so much grow as a performer while singing. Knowing what I have to do in order to sell the performance and also feel like you did the song justice can be hard and so thank you so much for making these videos and giving truly helpful advice

The Onion Queen strikes again. Another tissue moment. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm not too familiar with this song and the background story of this play, but when I heard it the first time from Morissette, it pulled my soul and made me teary-eyed.

Such a very good reaction. Thank you for being honest with your reviews. :)

Great Analysis! Thanks Coach! More Morissette video reaction, please.

Morisette has a very powerful voice and I am a fan of her. Each song she covered always comes more beautiful than the original.

Thanks Coach. Love your breakdowns, analysis of performances in theatrical perspective. We learn a lot about theater.

Very proffesional reaction. Much appreciate on what you see to morisette's performance. I know she appreciate your reaction too. You will be able to make her grow more and make her performance even more outstanding. Morisette is one of the best singer in our country in philippines. If she will be able to take your advice here? She will for sure to tear somebody's feelings while listening and watching to her performance for sure.

Beast mode 💪great job @morissette

I think you sold yourself the idea of the artists looking at herself and reacting to that. To me, her expressions seemed real and reflected what I would expect from an internal dialogue, including the wry and self condemnatory smiles. But I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder and perhaps it's just that I have more to chastise myself about than do you :) so that's what I perceive.

Love your reaction, you are the third person counting me, that react so strong when she says Mixed up.

I just LOVE this song. Every version I listen to gives me something new. I hear this song in my heart ❤ xxx

I love this song so much and have seen so many versions of it.. She makes her version feel like more like a pop ballad, like serious Whitney and Mariah vibes. It's a beautiful performance. She's performing a beautiful song and doing it very well. She definitely misses some of the emotion though. It's kinda like the difference between Whitney singing I Will Always Love You vs Dolly Parton singing it.

She made me cry. She shows too much emotions. That's most important, right ? She's not in a stage. Since there is no live audience, she just looked at the camera and not herself. She was like looking at me and I feel the pain. She just put all her emotions into the song.

Its the cold, empty environment she is in, that perhaps, limits your appeal, I really don't think, she is looking at a monitor other than to make sure focus is staying true . During the quarantine, she began doing many livestreams, merely using her cell as her cam source so , doubt highly, she really cared what she looked like. TA-GAL-OG is her first language or it might even be Bisaya, but when she sings in English, you can't hear an accent, and her annunciation is something she has worked on ,( which I believe in theatre, you want and expect) , as you would see on other songs....be them pop, ballads, gospel, her mouth movement is precise and not lazy ( sure those that read lips, would agree) Lets just say this.....if I saw a marquee on Broadway saying....featuring Morissette, I'd be buying a ticket.

I just love your content. I love the way you mouth the words along with the clips and how you get as emotional as I do. If I had any talent whatsoever, I'd hope for a coach as passionate and intelligent as you! Lol okay, sorry for all the gushing. I'll put my fangirl away.

Hello Mark, I like this new format of reacting to the song as a whole first then going to the breakdown and analysis, it kinda made me feel that we are 2 friends listening to the same song at the same time then goes to discuss everything about it. This way makes it feel more casual and organic. Thank you for the great content.

I'm glad you've continued to get to know Morissette's vocals. Hope you keep on listening to her.

This performance is absolutely great and outstanding, technically and emotionally. I feel every note and word Morissette sings. If you compare it to the original singer Morissette is so much more emotionally connected and transporting those emotions. Even Mr. Patrick felt it obviously, but, as with Defying Gravity, he has already decided before he even started listening to Morissette, that her rendition can't be as good. Some people talk about honesty. But honesty has nothing to do with prejudice. My opinion.

Thank you coach I enjoyed your reaction.. God bless ! ❤️❤️

It really depends on who is listening to her. If you're a fan of broadway or musical type of singing sure this reaction is good. But for some that is more of a modern-contemporary type that loves mixture of musical influences being fused in a song, this performance is more than good. You were just being honest here so no need for some hate. Peace ✌️

Thx u for the react 🔥💯❤

I appreciate these honest opinions so much. And I think that Marc is being very decent in his reaction. He knows she's a good singer, but as he stated. This one of his favorite songs. I'm singing this song at the moment and I totally understand where he's coming from. Some parts I totally love and I've listened to her version to take inspiration from it. For me my all time favourite is from Sara

I love your take and honesty in your reaction.

and then I cried again... even after how many times I have heard this.

Thank you for reviewing this incredible song. It touches something inside of us. 💔

nice to see you reacting to morissette again. subbed

Omg i’m learning! 🥰

Beautiful

Beautiful. 💯👏💯

Morissette is the greatest singer there is ❤❤❤

I don’t think she was looking at herself in the beginning, at least not consciously. She was looking away from the camera in order to just focus on the character. Kind of the equivalent of when we close our eyes at the beginning of a song to get into the character of the lyrics. I could see from the look on her face that she was seeing the characters and situation and not seeing anything in the present moment in front of her.

Thanks for the reaction Marc. The slight gatekeeping is understandable as this was more of a crossover performance and, she said herself, a bit out of her comfort zone (she’s not walking through Seth’s door for an episode of Obsessed anytime soon). Although, if you consider all the songs posted in this Stages set as a whole, the quality of the performances are quite spectacular for someone who only dabbles in showtunes. Full list here for anyone interested: kzfaq.info/sun/PLXIsyucEqcmEXwaPcZRCVoQHGZkW08PYX ‘Home’, ‘Memory’, ‘Someone Like You’, ‘She Used To Be Mine’, ‘I’d Give My Life For You’, and ‘Defying Gravity’. In the intro for ‘I’d Give My Life For You’ she mentioned that she had recently seen Joanna Ampil (West End star and 10th Anniversary Kim, Miss Saigon) play Jessie in the Manila production of ‘The Waitress’ so I’m sure there was some inspiration drawn from there. She refers to Joanna as ‘big sister’ (they were co-leads in an original Filipino musical together in 2015 (Chuva Choo Choo)). Morissette also has a connection to Lea Salonga as Lea was one of the coaches when she was a contestant on The Voice (Philippines) in 2013.

I guess less on technicality and execution theater-wise, I felt Morisette's genuineness and raw on this cover. ❤

Good job Marc nice reaction I hope mori will see this reaction it will to her Motivation you are really a theater man I hope someday you and mori will Work together that would be great

Excellent analysis Marc. Wasn’t sure how I felt about her rendition but it grew on me. I hear a lot of Moresette’s pop voice in this song but her tiny inflections and cracks were perfect for this song. And I agree with you Marc, a live piano player would allow her to breathe and fully embrace this character. Can you please review a song from Miss Saigon. Thanks

When I saw the thumbnail featuring mori? Ghoddd! I can't stop my finger to not hit that damn subscribe btton😆🥰😍. Anyway, I love your honest reaction into this vids. Please do more react her vids. And we definitely love seeing her again in this channel😘❤.

That's my Queen❤👑

I've been waiting for this reaction for months... Thank you coach for your reaction.... I hope u could react also to her cover of defying gravity...

Astounding

She is bubbly but when performing she becomes the character, she embodies the song 😱😱😱 Morissette 💐💐💐 24/7

No offense meant THIS IS WAY BY FAR THE BEST COVER OF THIS SONG.

I like this comment section. so polite and so much to learn from.

YOU NEED TO DO A REACTION TO HER DEFYING GRAVITY COVER!! SHE HITS IT ALL THE WAY!! ONE OF HER BEST COVERS

I'm a Morissette fan and I really like watching reactions of her videos whether it's criticizing or complimenting her performances. Well I kinda understand that POV of yours cause Morissette is really more like a Pop/Ballad singer. Hoping to see more reactions of her🙂. I'm learning a lot from you😉.

Not throwing any negativity here but just pure appreciation. I love her and her voice. ❤️ Thanks for reacting to her!

God. We BOTH need a hug after that. 😭

Morisette is my favorite vocalist i would be pissed about some of your reactions but I understand you’re a theater type of person and you are being honest about morisettes performance and you know what you’re talking about and not just trying to trash her you also had a lot of positive things to say about her but because I don’t understand theater for me I enjoyed it what do I know

Just on the point about drinking tea and talking about how pretty she sounds... I appreciate you ❤ Honestly, the reason I click on songs I don't know yet is because your analysis is actually analysis - it's no fun watching someone just fawning over a song you don't know by a singer you're not familiar with 😂

and I subbed 💙

morissette 💕

Thorough commentary!

Definitely, no doubt her vocal prowess is undeniably powerful.

More of morissette amon 😍❤❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️she's our Queen Mori ♥️😊

Very in-depth analysis. Please do a reaction to her "Please be Messiah" performance.

❤️❤️❤️

Great wholistic review! Telling it as it is. Those points for improvements are important.

This is Morrisette’s interpretation of the song, and I like it. I dont think there is a camera that she’s looking into, or when she looks like she’s looking on the side, it’s like she is thinking or imagining a certain situation and to me thats how she interprets it.

As for me Morissette rendered the song amazingly. She's so talented artist and can sing any genre and deliver perfectly on point..🙏🏼😘❣️❣️❣️

U should ask Leah Salonga about her.. hahahaha

This was beautiful- good analysis on your part. Can you PLEASE do Shoshana Bean’s version? It is the absolute best and makes me cry EVERY time.

I like your reaction but your comment about the smiles/smirk she did really confused me a lot, are you saying that people smile only when they are happy? I have seen a lot of people who smile when they are sad, people who smile when they did something wrong or silly, or any other reason aside from being happy, you can tell it by looking both in the eyes and the mouth, don't forget the eyebrow too but if that's what you see then I guess its always in the eye of the beholder. :)

Our queen mori killed it🤣🇵🇭❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

New subsc🇵🇭🇵🇭

🧡🧡

Thank you coach. Your perceptive observations are truly helpful and will improve one our most talented performers. Like Lea Salonga before her, she will mature nicely in due time. I can only imagine her at the end of this decade. Well done sir.

I was wondering Marc Do you actually sing and perform yourself? If so id love to hear you sing something!

Marc Daniel Patrick you shoudl see her sing Akin Ka Na Lang. It's incredible

Oh I'm early

I found your analysis of her delivery to be fascinating..thank you..I must say, when s

Agreed...

morisette is one of the divas in Philipines she is sooo good

New subscriber more of Morissette Amon pls...

Morissette✨❤️✨
