Beyonce Does Her Very Best Alanis

Beyonce brought a little Alanis flavor to the opening night of her tour in Edmonton, Canada, doing a cover of “You Oughtta Know.” (Alanis, you’ll recall, is a Canada girl, so that may have been why she chose this song.)

I hate to sound like Paula Abdul here, but she didn’t really make it her own. It played like an exact copy of Alanis’s version. Also, seriously, how 10 years ago is it to encourage the audience to sing the “fuck her” part of that song? I mean, really. Come on, B. I expect more from you.

  • woo woo edmonton! my city! (Just had to give a little shoutout)

    but seriously beyonce. don’t quit your day job. oh shit. THIS IS YOUR DAY JOB!

    • Agreed! Totally looks like a diaper. I hate how she’s so prissy she had to have the audience do the “fuck her” part so she doesn’t ruin her image.

  • Oh it gets better she also covered Sarah Mclachlan ” Angel’ And butchered it…. :S Note: to Beyonce…. Write your own songs and STOP covering everyone else.

    I still like Beyonce when she’s not butchering peoples songs.

  • It does look like a diaper! Maybe that was all that would fit her “19 inch” waist!! I don’t know an adult with a 19 inch waist!

    I digress… Is it me, or shouldn’t the great Beyonce have enough of her OWN material to fill a show?? Why is she even covering other peoples songs?

    I’ve tried… I just can’t like her… all her shit sounds the same…

  • Beyonce is horrible…

    this is what happens when celebs think they are the best thing since slice bread. there is a reason why your name is beyonce..stick to your own garbage pop rap music. You will never be Alanis!!!! you made the song horrible.

    ps. you make black people look bad with your over exaggerated fake hair walking around half naked..get some respect for yourself..we got enough sterotypes as it is now…

  • ok, so when I read this headline I thought “Oh. My. God.”- and I hate to use the Lord’s name in vain, so you know it is awful when I have to break a commandment. Happy Sabbath!

  • It’s all pretty horrible, can’t really tell what she’s singing but most of all I can’t stop staring at her diaper! god god, somebody get her a Real stylist instead of her mom..

  • the fact that she headbangs is extremely disturbing. she needs to stop immediately…if not sooner.
