SUPPOSED FORMER CANADIAN CITIZEN: Yes, Alanis Morissette has become a U.S. citizen, and Matt Drudge takes the opportunity to make an unfunny "Ironic" joke. However, Morissette's keeping her Canadian citizenship through dual citizenship. Tying back to earlier this week, Morissette's performance of "You Oughta Know" at the 1995 Grammys belongs on the highlight reel--she took the angry rock song that won her Grammys for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and turned it into something far more, with the lyrics turned into an angry shout over a full orchestra.
Interestingly, while Morisette also picked up the Album of the Year Grammy that year, she lost Best New Artist to the now-largely-disappeared but previously annoyingly ubiquitious Hootie and the Blowfish, and lost record and song of the year to Seal's "Kiss From A Rose." Wikipedia has a full list of winners.
