A recent article on the website Jezebel, titled "Jagged Little Pill Is Actually Very Bad???," has some Alanis Morissette fans up in arms... including Kelly Clarkson.
The author, Tracy Clark-Flory, is a married mom who worshiped Alanis as a tween. She describes buying a copy of the Grammy-winning 1995 album on vinyl, listening to it and cringing.
"I had a realization: Jagged Little Pill was 'Baby Shark' for mid-’90s angsty tween girls," Clark-Flory writes."It spoke in the simplest language, literally and musically, to that particular psychological stage of development at that particular cultural moment."
She goes on the say that the album might be "culturally significant...but it doesn’t make it good, timeless music."
As you might expect, people didn't exactly agree with Clark-Flory's revisionist history of an LP that won the Album of the Year Grammy, sold 33 million copies, is included on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and has inspired an upcoming Broadway musical.
Responding to the article on Twitter, Kelly tweeted, "This record empowered my confidence, moved me, taught me 2 use my voice as a storyteller not just a singer, & approached music w/a breath of fresh honesty that I feel my generation of women needed."
She continued, "This record is bad... bada**. It’s raw, feminine, bold, & powerful.#ThatsAll."
Halsey, another fan of Jagged Little Pill, tweeted in response, "The internet really has lost its mother f****ing mind. bye!"
Many other non-celebrities piled onJezebel for the article, with one writing, "My response to this is to unfollow @Jezebel, listen to Jagged Little Pill all day today and write Alanis a fan letter."
Alanis, who recently revealed she's expecting her third child, has yet to respond.
