Morissette Plays Show for Students

PLAINFIELD, Vt. (AP) - Alanis Morissette stopped by this small town to play a concert for high school students, the prize for a 15-year-old student who designed a music video for the singer.

Morissette, whose 1995 "Jagged Little Pill'' is the top-selling debut album in history, did a special concert at the Plainfield Town Hall in honor of Marshfield resident Elyse Bellamy, 15.
Elyse's day with the rock star began when Morissette walked into her school Thursday morning. She then learned that she had won the nationwide contest.

Morissette had lunch with Elyse and her parents at their hilltop home, then spent some time chatting with her in the girl's bedroom. Morissette sang six songs, some old and some new, telling the crowd "Your town has a really good vibe going.'' She even helped out in Elyse's science class.

"Everyone at school was so pumped up,'' said Morgan Wilber, who helped Elyse put her video together and also got to spend some extra time with Morissette. "She put on the big goggles that you wear and helped us.''
