Alanis Morissette and Kelly Clarkson both know a thing or two about epic breakup anthems, and the two singers just joined forces for an unforgettable duet! During a recent episode of the Kelly Clarkson Show, Morissette, 49, and Clarkson, 41, performed a captivating rendition of Morissette’s hit song, “You Oughtta Know,” with their powerful vocals blending together seamlessly.
Fans were amazed by the harmonized performance, calling it an “incredible collaboration” and the “duet of the century” on X (formerly Twitter). On October 19th, Clarkson welcomed Morissette to her talk show. During the “Ironic” artist’s segment, the American Idol winner asked Morissette more about her hit alt-rock track, “You Oughtta Know,” off her 1995 record, Jagged Little Pill.
Inquiring about the sentiments that inspired the song, Clarkson delved further into the depths of Morissette’s emotional reservoir. The timeless and infectious tune, which made its radio debut 28 years ago, still holds a special place in the hearts of many fans, as Clarkson pointed out. “I feel like this song is like my ‘Since U Been Gone.’ Like everywhere I go they want to hear this song. Cause the entire audience went crazy on tour. I mean you saw everyone unleash every bad relationship they’ve ever been through and channeled it,” Clarkson told Morissette.
Clarkson added: “So what do you love about ‘You Oughta Know’ now? Its been so long since it was released. Do you still love singing it as much?” Morissette replied: “I do. I remember just having a vision of my landlord before Jagged Little Pill came out. [She] was lovely enough, we had a great interaction. And after ‘You Oughta Know’ was released, I came by to pick up some stuff, and she ran into me and she said ‘I just that to tell you that I didn’t like your music when it first came out, but and I got divorced, and now I love you.”
