@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 I disagree with you totally but that's what's great, we're all entitled to choose who's version we like best. Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time. I don't think he received the recognition he deserved. Could play like 27 instruments. When Eric Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist, he said I don't know, ask Prince. Iykyk.
3 legends who sang this song are now gone. Prince, Chris Cornell and now Sinead. Damn this song is a heartbreaker. Rest in peace Prince, Chris and Sinead
That why the loss of him is felt so deeply with everyone that loves his music and him. When he passed, we knew what we had lost and that we would never have anything near as amazing a musician and artist as Prince was. He was unique and brilliant in his own special way and that's what made him so great!!
Who’s this Queen singing with Prince???! Please someone help? This is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite music Legends ever grazed planet Earth! PRINCE WAS GIFT TO EARTH 💜 Who’s the Woman singing?! Her vocals are out of this world powerful 😍🙌🏽
It's a hurt that will never go away or get any easier. I watch him sing and think to myself how did this happen? It was so tragic and his loss was so immense!!❤
Yeah... the only condition was that they would have to have sex with him. Nice guy. Look... you know what. As a person, I think Prince was a piece of..... (I don't want youtube to block me). As a musician? He was great. Look up how he tried to physically attack Sinead O'Connor when she said "no" to him. Prince was not a good person. A great musician? Yeah. Horrible human being.
And, he never charged a cent to anyone that was lucky enough to be at a performance at his home. It was by invite only. And I'm not talking about the rich and the famous, I'm talking about Prince's local fans. He will always be a Minnesota hero and no one will ever compete. Man I miss you prince.
💜💜🎼 WOW! IF YOU DON'T MIND MAY I ? That is one hell of a compliment I never seen Prince blush or smile at the same time, the complement of yours is just beautiful, go ahead your turn well what can I say, okay not in joken mood . but still. ibeen reading returning comments now 2017. Up to 2021. Not long or sassy then there's being sarcastic many many people have said things about my boy. Guess what I'm trying to say is your comp comment was a breath of fresh air young man
Jeremy Stickle you’ve got some unresolved or undercover things going on. His song writing skills are undeniable! If u wanna cry don’t watch his performance at the super bowl! He gets on that guitar tho it’s to fuckin much 😃
Prince was never looking for accolades or adoration, he was all about the music and sharing his gift with the world. A true musical genius who was well ahead of his time. There will never be another Prince. His music and energy will live on.
Bull, a true genius knows his talent and sometimes wants to shine,,, and why not give him the merit of his works.. I saw him in The Purple Rain Tour, and it was one of the best times of my life...with that I know he is in a good place and the world is the better for having Prince.. sometimes you just want to be on stage to be seen... and hey we all want a ribbon..with those outfits a person wants to be the peacock in the yard
Everybody coming on here disrespecting Prince in comparison to Sinead’s version needs to understand this is his song. His writing. His genius. I agree Sinead’s version was beautiful, but there’s no reason to put Prince down because of that. Sinead would not have made such a great song if it wasn’t for Prince’s brilliant writing.
Yes it’s a great song but he massacres it, turning it into an overblown jumble of egotistical noise. Sinead O’Connor’s version is stripped down and actually sounds like what it means - a knowingly self-piteous cry of pain to a love lost. This is just Prince & Co showing off, totally out of tune with the meaning of his own song.
I live near Paisley Park & grew up in this era. I was blessed to be able to go to many Paisley Park Shows. He get word out & locals would show up. Such a cool experience. Youd see him living in Chanhassen being a normal guy riding his bike around shopping walking etc. People let him be & live his life. He did do much for the town & state, but he always did it anonymously.
He wasn’t from this planet. He was so far beyond his time. No one has yet to even hold a flame to Prince. I feel like he’s still here with all of his music and his brilliance ❤
rowell brao not sure why you think he’d be jealous of MJ? Prince wrote his own music and played multiple instruments, so no reason for him to be jealous of Michael!

Prince's generosity and humility in front of others in his band is unique. No ego. He sings this songs like nobody dont need anyone. Just him and his piano. He composes everything. We miss his talent every day .
@juanalcarazperez4229 there are tons of stories of how he used to arrive in towns a couple of days before shows, and just show up and jam with local bands.
I've always said, after seeing him live, that is the tallest 5'2 I've ever seen! His stage persona was larger than life. How lucky to have been alive during his time!
There are a few who can be recognized as iconic artists. Freddy Mercury, David Bowie, Michael Jackson as examples. However, Prince is one of a kind. Having seen him live and being captivated by his voice. There is only one. So sad he has left us, but we still have his music.
We really lost a legend when Prince died. I was born in 1982 and I can't think of any performer that I think more of than Prince. Absolute legend. I don't normally get emotional over famous person deaths but when Prince died.... it really hit me hard.
Born 10 years later but grew up listening to him as my parents were huge fans. The day he passed I cried. I still regret never being able to go and see him live. One day maybe I’ll visit his mansion in Minneapolis.
I don't think that's insane at all...I just recently figured out that Prince is a badass guitarist. It's like I passed judgment on him because I feel like his earlier albums kind of hide his guitar playing ability. So now I'm sort of re-discovering Prince, there's a lot more there than I realized.
@@mannymartinez1750 As far as I know, they had a common manager. This one recommended the tune to her, or just let it know to her. This manager and Prince lawsuited each other for some reason I dont know. To be fair, Prince did not produce the stuff as well as they did for her. And she did a miracle as a singer of it. It s difficult to prefer the original rendition..
PRINCE WROTE THIS SONG!! It's his Song. *Sinead just performed it, beautifully might I add.* May Sinead & Prince #RIP. Prince always performed this Song as well. I love Both versions.
honestly, Prince giving some of his best songs to particular artists is one of the most beautiful things ever. Sinead O'Connor singing this was one of the great moments in music history.
He actually didn't want her to sing this song. He was signed to a label. He protested. Later, Sinead told the story of how Prince cornered her in California,(La) chasing her around a car threatening to kick her a$$.
There are so many musical moments that leave this as a fart in the wind. What an absurd take. I mean Mozart, Beethoven, etc and you think this is a historical moment? Raise the bar, kiddo. Love the song, by far done best by Prince, but it's not even a ripple on the ocean of music history. Hyperbolic much?
I just read some comments, all sweet and positive. I got really emotional because I used to meet people like you at Prince concerts. There was always this positive vibe I never felt anywhere else. Thank you for letting me feel this again, being part of a big family! Thank you brothers and sisters! I wish I would meet some of you again one day. Nothing compares to you!
I'm a 22 year old prince fan. I understand his eccentricity and his wisdom that a lot of my generation dismisses to madness. I'm happy to be apart of this community too. I hate that I never saw him live. It was a dream. But I've felt his presence ✨💜✨
The only concert I ever attended was a Prince concert in Greenville, SC back in 1982 and I was right down front screaming and hollering like I had lost my mind. Even today, I can't watch a Prince video without shedding tears because he was a BRILLIANT ARTIST! Owned his own masters when artists couldn't even do that. I just pray that he didn't suffer when he died. I do believe the angels came and got him from that elevator. Long live his music and I will forever love Prince!
I wish a family member or friend had stayed with him that night. Well he was a very fine man that was underrated and not understood by friends or family.
Yeah. That's the thing, Prince until this day is one of the most beloved artist by the artists community and such an inspiration to the artists. He always believed if he could shine, the other artists or musicians could shine too. Rosie+Prince was a great duo singing. Also, is incredible how he believes in the women's music talent.
I guess he was too unlucky after he renamed himself with an unpronounceable symbol as a musician for 8 years (and changing his name back after that regarding his career might not have made a difference).
I just would not put Prince on any list. He is above lists. He is on a lane of his own. He IS the list. Definition of cool, incredible guitar player, great songwriter, and entertainer.
His songs were made for live performances. I think, for him, studio work was necessary for album and radio play but he wrote and lived for live performances. The only artist I can think of whose live versions are consistently superior to studio versions.
missmiko1 Stevie Ray Vaughan was always extremely superior live too! His recordings were excellent but to hear him live just blew the doors off! I’m still grieving his death almost 30 years later.
@@portuguesehydrangea4818 I never followed Sinead in 90s, but now learning about her and her history.. what an amazing human being. Trying to stand up for children who were being sexually abused in the church, being true to herself by for example shaving her head when the "industry" wanted her more feminine, finding peace in Isalam, even though I believe she believed in the Holy Spirit too. I was sad to hear about her son passing last year; and can't help wonder if her death may have been at her own hand. I guess time will tell. Such a strong soul; yet broken on the inside too. Her mom died when she was only 18, and even though her mom abused her according to Sinead, it seems she missed her mom terribly; and this song Nothing Compares to 2 U" was directed to her mom when she sang it. She sang it with amazinging passion that I could feel her rare, pure emotions. I hope she is smiling and finding amazing love with her son,, mom, and all her relatives that passed on before her.
I don’t think anyone that sang with him ever made him feel the spirit like Rosie did. The two of them together were amazing. I just found a new love for this performance.
@davidziemann9653 I'm not commenting on his guitar skills. I'm saying the Eric Clapton story is bullshit. That story has been used about a bunch of players since the 80's. It's the story. Not his playing. I know he was a great player.
Prince was my first Love. The year was 1978. I was still in elementary school. I have loved Prince since then, to the day he took his last breath (April 21, 2016). He will always have a place in my heart. 🕊️
@Kevin Wenk Wow...blows my mind. Was just wondering what it would feel like to be a person who "lifted him" through the crowd. Then I saw your comment. In awe! 💜🎶🏓🎤🕊☔🕯🏀🛁👑
I don't believe you. They don't trust anybody to do this. It's usually his security and body guards!! You might have been there but you damn sure didn't lift him. You could tell that was rehearsed and apart of the show.
@@lisajoy7628 not that I care if you believe me, for the sake of continuity I will explain. "Dude" "what those who worked in his touring team referred to him as", taught me about continuity. His head of Security absolutely trusted me and relied on me to always be were they couldn't be. when he crowd surfed from the stage to the piano riser it was completely unrehearsed, in fact I asked him how we were going to get him there, and as always he just smiled and said don't worry about it. however when he crowd surfed back to the stage his security was on the crowd side of the barricade, when the crowd got him to the barricade he looked at me like " what now" the crowd handed him to me and I placed him on the stairs to the stage. he turned and blew me a kiss saying thank you. one of many wonderful memories of working for him.
Kevin. That's exactly what I said. You made it sound like you were a fan in the audience..you made no mention of SECURITY trusting you to always be there. That's the operative word. Security...dude.

Yes
He's gone but he will always be remembered 💜
Stas Shustov, Amen to that.
He is very bad singer!
Oleg Ashihman k
If ever there was a person born with music in his blood, Prince was the one. He was music personified.
Musicology
Him and Freddy
Music in his blood? To which he then added a whole lot of heroin to.
That sounds so good, now I'm envious I didn't come up with that.

No argument from me. Eric Clapton himself said he was the best guitarist of his time.

Not really.
Can we just give props to Prince for always having insanely talented women in his band??? That girl murdered that sax solo
The least I can do is give props, this gave me chills.
Dude I played sax for 7 years or so in school band/jazz band. I've never even entered the stratosphere that she was in for this performance.
I give her props but also that female back up singer . What a voice! Sounded like Mavis Staples up there.!
Probably staged
Hope he knows we still love him ❤
Man I miss this Dude!!!
Me too 😢

Like attracts like 😉

God bless him. I was young when Purple Rain came out. He was a beautiful human. Something the world needs more of.
I love Prince, he was in a class of his own. But we also have to mention the King Elvis superb，
For those who don't know, he wrote this song. That's why he sang/covered it so often.
That is correct. Sinead only sang what he gave her

He was so talented. More so than michèal Jackson
I don't think that's insane at all...I just recently figured out that Prince is a badass guitarist. It's like I passed judgment on him because I feel like his earlier albums kind of hide his guitar playing ability. So now I'm sort of re-discovering Prince, there's a lot more there than I realized.
The most underrated artist.
We always knew we were in the presence of greatness with Prince. Underrated: Never. He was and is the ultimate vibe 💕
Agreed
Thank you Prince for giving this song to Sinead O'Connor, she really took it to the bridge 😊😂💜made it her own, RIP S & P💜💜💜💜💜
Yeah it was the label wh ogave it to Sinead O'Connor. I like her version of better than Prince
Chris Cornell took it to the next level for me 🤘🏼🔥
She took it. He didn't give it to her.
@@mannymartinez1750 As far as I know, they had a common manager. This one recommended the tune to her, or just let it know to her.
This manager and Prince lawsuited each other for some reason I dont know.
To be fair, Prince did not produce the stuff as well as they did for her.
And she did a miracle as a singer of it.
It s difficult to prefer the original rendition..
@@antonmk1244 the original was from the Family.... and the reason you don't know that is that version is crap..
I love his way to dress, i love his face, his smile, his voice. He was a genius.
me too, he was beautiful, clever, talented, perfect...nothing compares to Prince
hello how are you doing today??
Incredible
PRINCE WROTE THIS SONG!! It's his Song. *Sinead just performed it, beautifully might I add.* May Sinead & Prince #RIP. Prince always performed this Song as well. I love Both versions.
I agree I love both songs
It’s been four years now that you’re gone .... Nothing compares to You ♥️
We will Love you, always
Hello Kat
Nothing compares to Prince❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Marilyn how are you doing today ????
This man was EPIC in every sense of the word....long live Prince!
PRINCE will always be the best.
honestly, Prince giving some of his best songs to particular artists is one of the most beautiful things ever. Sinead O'Connor singing this was one of the great moments in music history.
He actually didn't want her to sing this song. He was signed to a label. He protested. Later, Sinead told the story of how Prince cornered her in California,(La) chasing her around a car threatening to kick her a$$.
There are so many musical moments that leave this as a fart in the wind. What an absurd take. I mean Mozart, Beethoven, etc and you think this is a historical moment? Raise the bar, kiddo. Love the song, by far done best by Prince, but it's not even a ripple on the ocean of music history. Hyperbolic much?
He wrote this song ❤
💜
Still can’t believe this Beautiful Man is no Longer with Us . . . Such a Powerful Soul . . . RIP Purple One🕊
Hey Jessica how are you doing today???
Yes. I keep his voice, his sound, his image, his scent...in my mind...to carry His memory w me, back N2 The Light
✨🕯️✨🫶✨🕯️✨
PRINCE 100% PRAWDZIWY MEŻCZYZNA, CHCIAŁ BYĆ TAKI PIĘKNY, JAK KOBIETY I BYŁ ❤❤❤❤BYŁ, CUDOWNY I PONADCZOWY ❤❤❤❤
I just read some comments, all sweet and positive. I got really emotional because I used to meet people like you at Prince concerts. There was always this positive vibe I never felt anywhere else.
Thank you for letting me feel this again, being part of a big family! Thank you brothers and sisters! I wish I would meet some of you again one day. Nothing compares to you!
shaytal100 Purple People are the best in the world. Always. It was definitely a big family and nothing but love.
@@suzeesix Yes I miss meeting them once in a while ...
I'm a 22 year old prince fan. I understand his eccentricity and his wisdom that a lot of my generation dismisses to madness. I'm happy to be apart of this community too. I hate that I never saw him live. It was a dream. But I've felt his presence ✨💜✨
We love and miss you too! Stay Strong and listen to the Purple One even more!!!
Prince and Sinead O Connor. RIP forever to them. Their symphonies will never ever stop
Missing Prince today. See you again one day, Prince.
Prince guys, Jesus what a talent. What a loss. I understand that man
The only concert I ever attended was a Prince concert in Greenville, SC back in 1982 and I was right down front screaming and hollering like I had lost my mind. Even today, I can't watch a Prince video without shedding tears because he was a BRILLIANT ARTIST! Owned his own masters when artists couldn't even do that. I just pray that he didn't suffer when he died. I do believe the angels came and got him from that elevator. Long live his music and I will forever love Prince!
💜
🥺
I feel as you do.I have prayed that he did not suffer and that someday the truth will come out on how he died. I love his music.
I wish a family member or friend had stayed with him that night. Well he was a very fine man that was underrated and not understood by friends or family.
you cry a lot, do you?
There will never EVER be a better performance of this song.
Brings tears of joy to your eyes from the depths of your soul
I know Prince wrote this song, but my fav version is Chris Cornell's cover
Hey Jessica how are you doing today???
RIP Prince and Sinead O’Connor!
One of the best songs he’s ever written!!!!
🙏 🙏❤️❤️🔥🔥
And Chris Cornell.
And the Best, sang by SINEAD O’CONNOR ♥️ (rest in peace girl🤍), you where there, when I needed you most.🥰
For me the best Prince song by far, hauntingly beautiful. Rest In Peace Prince Rogers Nelson.😔😔😔.
Such a generous genius. He found talent and he let it fly in his music. It wasn't about ego it was about love.
Yeah. That's the thing, Prince until this day is one of the most beloved artist by the artists community and such an inspiration to the artists. He always believed if he could shine, the other artists or musicians could shine too. Rosie+Prince was a great duo singing. Also, is incredible how he believes in the women's music talent.
Read about his relationships. Plenty of ego.
@@jason5409 That depends on what you want to believe. I think the people who actually knew him who don't go by hearsay might disagree.
Hello Anni how are you doing today????
Prince was brilliant. He will be missed. Very talented.
True.
I guess he was too unlucky after he renamed himself with an unpronounceable symbol as a musician for 8 years (and changing his name back after that regarding his career might not have made a difference).
Yessssss
Prince is a legend he’s my favorite, Have you been to any concerts before?
The original Mr. Steal your girl. Imagine being on the front row and experiencing this incredible moment 🤯
I just would not put Prince on any list. He is above lists. He is on a lane of his own. He IS the list. Definition of cool, incredible guitar player, great songwriter, and entertainer.
His songs were made for live performances. I think, for him, studio work was necessary for album and radio play but he wrote and lived for live performances. The only artist I can think of whose live versions are consistently superior to studio versions.
missmiko1 the goat
You right. Let's not forget that his biggest song was recorded live in front of an audience and not in a studio!
@@christonefeltzs5149 Purple Rain was recorded live
So true!
missmiko1 Stevie Ray Vaughan was always extremely superior live too! His recordings were excellent but to hear him live just blew the doors off! I’m still grieving his death almost 30 years later.
Prince is a true damn legend.
Thank you Prince for writing this. Thank you Sinead for bringing this forward and making it a hit.
RIP to them both. Like a bird without her song they have left us. 😔
@@portuguesehydrangea4818 I never followed Sinead in 90s, but now learning about her and her history.. what an amazing human being. Trying to stand up for children who were being sexually abused in the church, being true to herself by for example shaving her head when the "industry" wanted her more feminine, finding peace in Isalam, even though I believe she believed in the Holy Spirit too. I was sad to hear about her son passing last year; and can't help wonder if her death may have been at her own hand. I guess time will tell. Such a strong soul; yet broken on the inside too. Her mom died when she was only 18, and even though her mom abused her according to Sinead, it seems she missed her mom terribly; and this song
Nothing Compares to 2 U" was directed to her mom when she sang it. She sang it with amazinging passion that I could feel her rare, pure emotions. I hope she is smiling and finding amazing love with her son,, mom, and all her relatives that passed on before her.
It was a major hit in 1986..by the Songwriter, Producer: Prince
Na Not true
The best, most talented musician in the history of the WORLD.
Nothing compares to you, Prince💜
hello Debra how are you doing today??
Prince is a legend he’s my favorite, Have you been to any concerts before?
What a man a genius
I don’t think anyone that sang with him ever made him feel the spirit like Rosie did. The two of them together were amazing. I just found a new love for this performance.
Thats what i thought..he seemed genuinly happy..
it was spiritual
Rosie Gaines is a wonderful singer 🙏
Still listening/singing along. 4-11-24' love the different ranges/riffs. Lov, love. Sincerely, Teresa. 4-11-24' 3:47
Eric Clapton was asked “What does it feel like to be the best guitarist of all time?”
Eric: “When I see Prince I’ll ask him.”
LOVE ❤
Kerouac Cossel
That's just BS.
@@roba6660able No, it's not. Prince was an unreal guitarist, easily top 5 of all time if not the best.
@davidziemann9653 I'm not commenting on his guitar skills. I'm saying the Eric Clapton story is bullshit. That story has been used about a bunch of players since the 80's. It's the story. Not his playing. I know he was a great player.
Prince gave his all and he was PERFECTION
No one compares to him - unique and immortal in his music.
Hello Andie, how are you doing
hello Andie how are you doing today????
Real one
We love you and still miss you, Prince😢
PRINCE ..Best charismatic stage performer in the century
Ever!!!!!
Have you heard of this dude called Freddie Mercury?
@@taand4725 Yes, ‘love of my life’
I love prince so much but I think the freddie is the best performer .
2:10 - that voice - OMG!
🖤😻😻😻😻😻
Hell yes! 💜 Shreds and then shows off that sexy low register at 2:19!
Tingles
This brings tears to my eyes it so touching and i can feel the energy
Breanna James Yeah me too! Tears of Purple Pain
Hello Breanna how are you doing????
The world's greatest androgynous man, God I love him😮❤
He completely gave himself over
To the music .
What a musical mystic.
this is as quality as a performance gets.
Prince was my first Love. The year was 1978. I was still in elementary school. I have loved Prince since then, to the day he took his last breath (April 21, 2016). He will always have a place in my heart. 🕊️
78 was th year that I knew that PRINCE WAS one to make it even before he became a ⭐🌟✨💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Most powerful, electrical performance…. Ever ❤
He was perfection
Hey Donna how are you doing today???
Fantastic
One of the greatest songs ever! No matter who sang it…. Sinead, Chris or Prince!!! Truly perfect song.
I was there! I actually
lifted him from the crowd back onto the stage.
Oh wow! That’s so cool. 💓
@Kevin Wenk
Wow...blows my mind. Was just wondering what it would feel like to be a person who "lifted him" through the crowd. Then I saw your comment. In awe!
💜🎶🏓🎤🕊☔🕯🏀🛁👑
I don't believe you. They don't trust anybody to do this. It's usually his security and body guards!! You might have been there but you damn sure didn't lift him. You could tell that was rehearsed and apart of the show.
@@lisajoy7628 not that I care if you believe me,
for the sake of continuity I will explain. "Dude" "what those who worked in his touring team referred to him as", taught me about continuity. His head of Security absolutely trusted me and relied on me to always be were they couldn't be. when he crowd surfed from the stage to the piano riser it was completely unrehearsed, in fact I asked him how we were going to get him there, and as always he just smiled and said don't worry about it. however when he crowd surfed back to the stage his security was on the crowd side of the barricade, when the crowd got him to the barricade he looked at me like " what now" the crowd handed him to me and I placed him on the stairs to the stage. he turned and blew me a kiss saying thank you. one of many wonderful memories of working for him.
Kevin. That's exactly what I said. You made it sound like you were a fan in the audience..you made no mention of SECURITY trusting you to always be there. That's the operative word. Security...dude.
The eyes of Prince...❤❤❤
Damn!!! Prince sweats fucking glitter!!!
He also quit swearing
God I miss him
His giggle is the perfect interlude for any song. The one and only Prince!
I'm weeping. Rest In Paradise.
He wrote this song. ❤
