Alanis Morissette debuts on Fallon - Ablaze
-
This might be the cutest AND most awesome thing I have ever seen. Her voice is this amazing instrument. No one like it ever to my knowledge. She manages to hover on this knife-edge of notes and phrases...

Very cute

She has to be my favorite voice/inflection/style of singing over the past 30 years.
Her writing is pretty good although I think she does take the easy way most times by putting her rhymes or repeated words at the start of her phrases. There's a name for that type of poetry but I have long since forgotten it.

Diacope is sporadic repetition of the same phrase or word to build emphasis. Anaphora is repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive clauses, sentences, or lines (think Churchill's "we shall fight them" message).
As for rhymes, feminine rhymes work off changing the first syllable to achieve the rhyme (asses/masses/classes), which she uses often.
