Sinead O ‘Conner an Irish singer songwriter, (Nothing Compares To You) was a No 1 hit in 17 countries and Sinead received a Grammy for the song , The song was written by the famous artist Prince, Sinead legacy is she is the only artist to sing a song better than Princes version, Sinead refused to attended the Grammy Awards Ceremony or except the award as a protest, she criticised the music industry for promoting false and materialistic values rather than rewarding artists merit, great reaction thanks 🙏
And she cut all her hair off because they said how beautiful her hair was. Sinead had an identity crisis up until her last day. From good catholic girl to Rastafarian from Rastafarian to woman catholic priest ordained by a rouge gay bishop to Mohammed. Just as well she found Mohammed later in life because I don’t think Islam could tolerate a young sinead. She’s a true Irish woman, outspoken and as mad as a box of frogs.
You're right, today's popular music is about image and a catchy hook, it's not about great vocals, musical artistry, and emotion. There are still some artists like Adele who still pour their heart and soul into their songs but not enough. Sinead left her bare soul on stage in the lyrics, vocal performance and emotion.
She wanted to be a priest on stage and she was, she literally channeled her songs. I have seen her live several times and her voice was from another dimension. Beautiful warrior woman. May she rest in peace. She’s so missed.
This is a truly great cover of a Prince song. I remember listening to Johnny Cash's version of Hurt (Nine Inch Nails), the writer Trent Reznor, he said that it was no longer his song. I wonder if Prince felt the same with Sinead "owning" this one. Lovely reaction.
@TashaJackson, for framing, this was one of my late sister's and my favourte songs back in the day. It was played at here funeral, because I could not bear to sing that day. Meanwhile, Prince wrote and arranged the original song, and the original video was done, her singing part, in one take. Look it up. I can't sing this today without weeping. I am also a widower, so it has layers of meaning. I keep remembering loves, family, pets even. Every one of them an individual, deserving recognition and remembrance, yet, we, too, will one day be with them, eventually forgotten. Wanting memory to linger after death is a cause of deep pain for us humans. If you check out her album that song is on, you will be amazed. "I am Stretched on Your Grave." "Three Babies." Just two to check out. You will weep. I am sorry. They are achingly beautiful. For other artists, old: Olivia Newton-John. She went all over the place, from Aussie-Country, up into soft-Rock, and musicals. You will know her from "Grease," but she also did "Xanadu," and a couple other forgettable things. But her voice. Her album, "Physical," struck a chord, because the original unedited video for that featured gay men (OMG! right?!?!), but also, "The Promise." She asked me to tell you about it, to listen to it, to really hear it, so I am, now. Bring a tissue. And then, check out Miley Cyrus "Barefoot" series, where she does things outside with a band, live recorded. "Jolene." She is, after all, "Dolly's" actual, factual God-Daughter. Miley can sing ANY style and put her entire foot up in it.
I know, from being a singer myself, that doing those freeing moves that she is doing, causes you to sing better. It really helps you to get into it!!! To me, the main goal in singing is to want people to have a very moving experience!!! My lord, she was quite the performance!!! Thank you for doing both videos!!! Raw and soulful is the best!!!! For the most part sadly, a lot of that has died!!!! Love you Tasha!!! Always enjoy these videos, and your reactions!!!
GREAT decision to listen to the original first! That was a BOSS decision that is up there with the best of them. Well done. The video version is pretty epic.
A good example of studio vs live would be Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" track. The studio version is a masterpiece of production though many believed that it would be hard to replicate that live as there were so many complicated elements to that song. Radiohead did their work and when they performed it live on the 'Later with Jools Holland" show it was masterful and showed what a great band they truly were.
Sinead rips her heart open, and so we identify our own ripped hearts with her performance. Another great cut is "Last Day of Our Acquaintance"... the hurt from the juxtaposition of a cold legal ending against a fiery crucible of beginnings is so painful
Sinaed was a troubled soul to a greater or lesser extent most of her life, living wasn't easy for her ,she was misunderstood,which is/was a great pity ❤❤.
Sinead O Connor was amazing artist . In this song, Sinead was thinking about the difficult relathionship with her mother. - you could listen to Aurora live - and you will hear exeptional talent from today
Tasha, in an interview, she said she cut her hair that short because her mother thought her sister's hair was ugly, and used to introduce them both as her pretty daughter and her ugly daughter, so she chopped off her hair for that reason. I also understand that she was abused later in her childhood and she felt that not having pretty hair made her less attractive and would help keep people (i.e. predators) away from her.
Oh, you mentioned this theme of studio v live songs and the extra energy the latter brings. One example would be Florence and the Machine Dog Days Are Over. Studio is quirky. Live, many examples on You Tube, I'd suggest Oxegen Festival 2010!
She is a beautiful vocalist, no auto tune, she is amazing. The sad thing is the music industry is going back and auto tuning some of the greatest vocalists from the past, they are destroying our music I can hear auto tune, it's horrible that's why I don't listen to today's music, but now they are doing it to my groups from the 60s and 70s, soon we will lose their beautiful raw talent. It's absolutely disgusting Great reaction
The tears and vulnerability in the music video, especially when she sings the line “All the flowers that you planted, mamma, in the garden died when you went away” are because her mother had just recently died in a car accident, and she found herself reflecting on her. Sinead was always raw and honest. Irreplaceable.
Love Sinead O'Connor - check put John Farnham "Help" live show with orchestra and INXS "Love will never tear us apart" - great review, enjoyed it and agree with you. x
Joni Mitchell wrote a song called Woodstock and gave it to her friends, Crosby, Stills, and Nash who had a hit with it on their 1970 album Deja Vu. It's great but Joni does a live version (Live In-Studio for the BBC in 1970) that blows it out of the water. It fits with what you're looking for. An amazing live performance. It's just Joni on piano.
Try out “R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts (live)” There are different versions, but type how it’s written in the quotation marks and you’ll get the right one. There’s also “R.E.M. Perfect Square 2003 All the Way To Reno (You’re Gonna Be a Star)” These are my 2 live favorites
One of the best bands livefor me is Nightwish..if you want to jump into that rabbit hole Ghost Love Score from wacken 2013 is a good starting point…enjoy
She shines though. She almost had SNL shut down back in the day by doing poetry with the Pope's picture in the background . While shaving her head bald. My personal opinion is back in the the day there was true instruments being played. No electronics sounds for enhancement for voice or instruments. May she rip.
check out Joe Bonamassa with Beth Hart (I'd Rather Go Blind) or Beth live at Royal Albert Hall (Leave the Light On with her at piano AND also Caught Out In The Rain) she usually blows ppl away with her vocal ability (she also plays multiple instruments but the only one I've seen on video is that Leave The Light On at the piano
Music in today's world is manipulated too much with mixers and computers. Much of the older music recordings contain more genuine sounds of the artist, making sudio recording easier to replicate on stage. Good example is Nights In White Satin by Moody Blues Decades ago it was a big deal to go see a group live. Simple arrangement groups sounded just as good live ..... The Beach Boys, The Police, and Fleetwood Mac quickly come to mind.
Please react to Fleetwood Mac's "Angel" live at St Louis November 1979, Stevie and Lindsey actually getting along and having the time of their lives and Stevies hiccup notes that she does and her Dance Hall Dance just puts it right up there

She had one of the BEST voices ! RIP Sinead
You are so right. Nothing will ever compare to Sinead. I hope she’s at peace now 🙏🏼 She’s very missed…….
Personally I think this was a perfect example of raw talent. music video was simply but beautiful & Sinead takes it to an other level live.
Sinead O ‘Conner an Irish singer songwriter, (Nothing Compares To You) was a No 1 hit in 17 countries and Sinead received a Grammy for the song , The song was written by the famous artist Prince, Sinead legacy is she is the only artist to sing a song better than Princes version, Sinead refused to attended the Grammy Awards Ceremony or except the award as a protest, she criticised the music industry for promoting false and materialistic values rather than rewarding artists merit, great reaction thanks 🙏

She makes me cry every time I hear her….I wish I saw her live more than anyone and I never had the chance.
Great reaction to a classic of my youth! Sinead really owned that song. May she RIP.
Rest in Peace, Sinead O'connor. I love her beautiful voice. I have tears in my Eyes, when i hear this very beautiful and sad Song.❤❤
You need to hear “This Is the Last Day Of Our Acquaintance” live from this same time period. 1990 I believe.
Sinead lost her mom in a car accident a few years before the video. They'll never be another Sinead. May she rest in peace. Pure raw talent.
You're right, today's popular music is about image and a catchy hook, it's not about great vocals, musical artistry, and emotion.

You're right on time, I'm upset that you don't have the likes and views that are warranted along with the expertise that you showed.hits hard natural
I love that you listened to the studio and then a live performance in the same reaction. This is a method for gold!

!!
Check out her live performance of 'Troy'...mindblowing
A good example of studio vs live would be Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" track. The studio version is a masterpiece of production though many believed that it would be hard to replicate that live as there were so many complicated elements to that song. Radiohead did their work and when they performed it live on the 'Later with Jools Holland" show it was masterful and showed what a great band they truly were.
I'm so glad you did this.Thank you.
Thanks ! Nice reaction !
The only song, by the only artist to be #1 in 17 countries at the same time!
The song was originally written about quitting smoking from someone I spoke to in the music industry
Sinead rips her heart open, and so we identify our own ripped hearts with her performance. Another great cut is "Last Day of Our Acquaintance"... the hurt from the juxtaposition of a cold legal ending against a fiery crucible of beginnings is so painful
The foggy dew, as she moved through the fair. Try these 😊
Song was written by Prince, and Sinead sang it beautifully.
Simply amazing! 😊
Sinaed was a troubled soul to a greater or lesser extent most of her life, living wasn't easy for her ,she was misunderstood,which is/was a great pity ❤❤.
Beautiful face with powerful voice!
Love this reaction ❤Love Sinead ❤
Like a bird without her song,,, thats a deep line right there!!!!!
Sinead O Connor was amazing artist . In this song, Sinead was thinking about the difficult relathionship with her mother.
- you could listen to Aurora live - and you will hear exeptional talent from today
She went to her doctor for her depression. And he told her she needs to try and fun. "But he's a fool, because nothing compares to you"
Live music isn't dead. There is so much talent out there, you just need to check out some music outside of the commercial charts and western radio.
Tasha, in an interview, she said she cut her hair that short because her mother thought her sister's hair was ugly, and used to introduce them both as her pretty daughter and her ugly daughter, so she chopped off her hair for that reason.

She is so right about S. O. and right about larger sociological issues. Cheers Madame.
I like that u r comparing live vs recording
Nice!

I think her mother died a couple of weeks before she made the original video. She’s really crying and broken.
❤❤
Beautiful reaction. See for example “Birds of Chicago: Super Lover” - Allison Russell
She lost her mother just before this video was made.
I always thought “ I when to the doctor “ , referred to a mental health therapist to deal with the breakup
Check out Chris Stapleton's live performances. He also sang this song right after Prince passed away as a tribute. Enjoy!!!
🔥👍💪
You get it.

Legend ❤️💪🎤🙏🌍🕊️

could you please react to another Sinéad OConnor song called "Only You"? It's even better imo......
Adel is a total raw talent ! Jewel is another one !
Both examples were beautiful. Checkout both versions of Eric Clapton- Running On Faith studio and MTV's Unplugged.
❤😥
check out Joe Bonamassa with Beth Hart (I'd Rather Go Blind) or Beth live at Royal Albert Hall (Leave the Light On with her at piano AND also Caught Out In The Rain) she usually blows ppl away with her vocal ability (she also plays multiple instruments but the only one I've seen on video is that Leave The Light On at the piano
Please try Chris Cornell’s version of this song 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🍸💪
This is the best female version of this song. Chris Cornell is the best male version.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Auto tune has killed the new music
Jeanne D Arche
Try Linda Ronstadt...she is as good live as on record and many times even better! Powerful and emotional voice...
Music in today's world is manipulated too much with mixers and computers. Much of the older music recordings contain more genuine sounds of the artist, making sudio recording easier to replicate on stage.
Good example is Nights In White Satin by Moody Blues
Decades ago it was a big deal to go see a group live. Simple arrangement groups sounded just as good live ..... The Beach Boys, The Police, and Fleetwood Mac quickly come to mind.
Prince wrote it. Do his version 🎉
all the big names that done this song are now dead🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Please react to Fleetwood Mac's "Angel" live at St Louis November 1979, Stevie and Lindsey actually getting along and having the time of their lives and Stevies hiccup notes that she does and her Dance Hall Dance just puts it right up there
Prince wrote this song
Tasha, you know Prince wrote that song?
DISTURBED:
"SOUND OF SILENCE"
And the Conan O'Brian live version V.S. STUDIO version
Always loved the original. In the live version she kind of scares me. Comes off as being slightly unhinged.
Almost any country act is talent. Obviously Chris Stapleton. But again, almost any country act is not lip syncing and have real musicians.
