I wasn't expecting anything out of this at CHR/Pop, but it's under Taking Off right now with 3 adds. It's a pretty good cover of Seal's original. It's my favorite by her since "Hands Clean" and other than that and "Uninvited," I haven't really loved any of her singles since Jagged Little Pill. She works so well with Glen Ballard. I wish they'd get together for her next studio album. mms://66.186.0.101/allaccess/alancraz.wmaYou can watch the video at the link below. It uses the crappy dance version of the song, but I guess it works for the trippy late night vibe of the video. music.aol.com/artist/main.adp?artistid=144717

Love this song - the Glen Ballard version that is.

I'm really surprised how much this has grown on me. Both remixes are excellent, and a huge improvement on the original Gap version. :)

It's catchy and she deserves more Pop success, but I just don't see a lot of stations giving it to her. The highest I could see this going would be like #35, but I think it will make at least N&A for a week. Didn't "Everything" make N&A?

I really love this song. I actually like Alanis' version better than Seal's (though admittedly, I am a huge Alanis fan). I think this is my favorite song of her's since Uninvited (maybe Hands Clean or 21 Things...Those were great too in my opinion).
Is this going to chart on the Hot 100???

Didn't "Everything" make N&A? Yes, I think it went as high as 51 on Mediabase.[/font]

I'm loving this one! Alanis did a nice job covering this song.

Well, you could've also told that to Mariah 2 years ago, and now look what happened. I don't think her music career is over, her new albums still have really good songs on them. She still does fine on Hot AC, the music world doesn't revolve around Pop, Rhythmic, and Urban radio. Anyway, it's actually getting some adds, currently at #95 +73, I could actually see this being a small hit for her.

I think Alanis's problem is that she's run stale with lyrics. She should let Glen Ballard write with her. Relying on squeezing a hundred words into one nonsensical statement to make a catchy hook isn't going to work every time. She made the Top 5 at Hot AC with one of her worst singles ever last year so I don't see why she couldn't have another big hit.

I agree she's past her peak, but that hardly means her career is dead.

I am one of the few people who liked the follow-up album to Jagged Little Pill better than JLP, but Alanis does seem to need some sort of new direction in her career. She seems to be flailing about a bit, which is too bad because she is really talented.

I am loving this! I really hope it picks up soon... I think the GAP album helped a little bit.

It is good! I really haven't loved anything by her since her first two records...this seems to give her back some edge she really lacked and that made her.

I love Alanis. I love the song Crazy. But somehow this isn't quite working for me. Maybe I need to give it time, since I'm so familiar with the original.

I"m actually one of Seal's biggest fans and this remake does him justuce....George Michael's "Killer" did not.

120 76 ALANIS MORISSETTE Crazy 2005 152 47 105 0.538 Doing well for an Alanis song, I could see stations slowly picking up on this. If this does stall then the problem is radio not willing to give a veteran artist a chance, I think people still like Alanis and I do believe this is the best cover done within the past few years.
