Overrated/ Underrated #1
In a new weekly series I will be addressing two different things from pop culture and labeling them both... One as being overrated and one as being underrated.
Pretty simple concept so please try and keep up.
Movies, Music, TV.... You know, the important stuff!
Overrated:
Alanis Morissette.
Now she had a decent album with her first release "Jagged Little Pill" but since then has released 4 less than stellar albums. Each contained one or two good tunes but overall they sucked!
She also found time to put out a couple of live albums and recycled "Jagged Little Pill" every chance she had...
I don't think since Don McLean has one artist been able to live off one song/album for this long.
The absolute lowlight of this woman's career had to be the RE-RECORDING of "Jagged Little Pill" as an acoustic album last year. (As if the first version was so overpowering with its' heavy electric sound!) and then actually touring to support it!
Also, I'd like to point out she released the single most annoying song in the history of Music with "Thank You" That song makes "Mambo #5" sound like "Stairway to Heaven"
Alanis needs to go away until she finds something NEW to say. And she also must wear her clothes in all her videos...This point can not be debated!
Underrated:
Beth Hart!
Who is Beth Hart?
She is the woman with the single greatest voice in Rock and Roll history!
Some say, "the best since Janis"
I say, the greatest EVER!
She writes her own stuff and on stage is a force! Check out her tune "Am I the One" from her album "Immortal" to see what I mean. Once that blows you away check out her latest live release DVD/CD "Live from the Paradiso"
Bethhart.com is her official website where you can find sound clips and general info... She's on tour in Europe right now but hopefully will be coming back to tour America this year.
Enjoy!

I HATE Alanis Morisette's version of Seal's song Crazy. Seal's got a voice on him, and Alanis's voice sounds like angry cats. My bf and I went to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and then, during the ending credits, was Alanis's horrible voice. It was very incongruous. Sure, You Oughta Know was pretty cool the first 5 million times I heard it, but I agree, it's time for something new. I'll have to check Beth out if you think she's better than Janis!
