@@deestroyer1885 i never said she wrote it. I've known since the year the single released that it was Prince's song. I'm just commenting on her video performance.
If I remember correctly, I watched some behind the record thing a few years ago that said that when she sang this she was thinking about her late mother, so the pain she displays isn't her selling it, it's real. That's why you can believe it's her emotions, is because they truly are her emotions.
No distraction, just the singer, simple and honest..........no hedging, no drama! It's a clear love message. It seems like you're saying it's very powerful and I agree. Nice reaction, Thanks young lady, God bless........OLD PETER U S A "the eyes are the windows to the soul", lovely Sinead!, Thank you
Prince was an amazing artist and lyricist...such a beautiful song, and Sinead had the vocals to do this painful love song justice. I believe Sinead O'Connor suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, so she can *really* belt out that pain of abandonment. ...and I did not know Chris Cornell did a cover of this song, so I learned something today.
Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written and composed by Prince for The Family and the song was featured on their eponymous album The Family. It was later made famous by Irish recording artist Sinéad O'Connor, whose arrangement was released as the second single from her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. Source Wikipedia Sinéad O'Connor received the 1991 Grammy Awards. even if you could not see it in this reaction, the beautiful music video also received a Grammy.
@@whitiemarsh3671 - She's an ex- alcoholic, heavy drug user, homeless, destroyed her voice in the process and hated by most of the Catholic church for ripping up a picture of the pope live on TV. Amazing cover of a Prince track, but.. Islam can have her now! 😂
@@CoreyGIvey No. Prince first wrote, produced and released this many years before Sinèad O'Connor covered it. This is just a cover. A good, unique cover, but still thank Prince for penning this masterpiece! History people, know it!
Her tears in this video are real. The lyrics "all the flowers that you planted mama in the back yard. All died when you went away" reminded her of her childhood trama involving her mother.
She didn't write it, how could you make such a silly statement Prince wrote it he owns this song she sang it without permission from him, she didn't even recognize him as the composer author. She just ripped off a song to become famous, those tears are fake as, like she is. She just rode on the coat tails of someone with talent for a while.
@@itsmexena4727 you're a noodle. Sinead has said on multiple occasions that that singing that lyric reminded her of her dead mother and she teared up. But I guess you're suggesting that it's wrong to tear up over a song you didn't write? You're so fucking silly.
😎😎😎 she has a voice that will penetrate your soul she is so good it's awesome like I said when we went and saw her wasn't nothing compared to the concert you can feel her energy singing this when we use at the concert we had front rows you could actually feel and cheating make you believe
I agree. I prefer Sinead's version. you feel every nuance, every emotion. I love Chris Cornell and I know people love that version but I find it one note.
@Jac A ain't nothing wrong with telling somebody how an unfamiliar name is pronounced... i am sure if india ever got to meet sinead, she would not want to mangle her name
This lady has a great understanding of the lyrics, it was written by the master of music Prince and is very powerful when sung like this 😌 fabulous song👌
Here’s a little fact for you, her tears are real. She’s a lovely beautiful woman and done us Irish proud :) One last thing how you didn’t cry to that song is madness
I love Sinead, the video won an MTV VMA for Video of the year back in 1990 i think, and it's mostly that beautiful face performing her heart out, the power of raw human emotion. Prince wrote it but it's Sinead's song, she made it an immortal classic.
The first time I heard this, I couldn't believe how absolutely shattered she sounded. It's the best artistic exploration of wrenching heart ache that I can think of.
Whether you react to it or not, do yourself a favor and explore her catalog. She has some off the wall stuff, but she has some MAGICAL stuff. A talent to honor.
You should watch her do this song live in 1990 at a concert in Chile. It's on her channel. She lets out a wail in the middle that she doesn't do on this recorded version. It is jaw dropping. Just fan-tab-u-lous-ly unbelievable. Incredible voice.
It's a song written by Prince, popularized by her in 89. If u like her voice, i recommand ''Troy'' from her debut album, very powerful and underatted. Nice reaction !!
I discovered your channel this morning and have now watched quite a few of your reactions. I have to say, I love watching your reaction videos more than just about any others that I have seen over the years.
I've had the privilege of seeing Sinead live three times in my life. This song made her famous, however her song catalog is one of the best around. Think Van Morrison, Bob Dylan etc. Incredible singer, songwriter and performer. You have to hear "This is The last day of our acquaintance", "whiteboys on mopeds" and "Three babies".
I was lucky enough to see her sing this live at Glastonbury, my face was so wet by the end, hardly noticed the tears in constant flow down my cheeks. ♡
Sinead did a fantastic job with this song. And like many of you have mentioned, this song always makes me think of what a talent that Prince was. He really was beyond words. He wrote a lot of stuff, for a lot of artists. And if his singing, and writing, and dancing was not enough for you, check my dude out on the guitar. Absolutely unreal.
Sinead is an Irish name, pronounced Shin-ade. This is probably the saddest song I've ever heard. Her pain seems to echo all the pain from the loss of all the loved ones in my life.
I remember when this first came out, i listened to it over and over, till i memorized the song and that was something i never did . It impacted me so deeply, Sinead is so believable in this clip and this song, yet again shows that Prince was a genius. RIP Prince
This is a Prince song about the same time he wrote "Manic Monday" for The Bangles, "Stand Back" for Stevie Nicks, and "When You Where Mine" for Cyndi Lauper.
I dont know why, but it is really delightful to see another generation enjoying what us old folks loved and made memories out of. I love this and just subscribed :)
Sinead O'Conner's version is my favorite and I believe Prince's as well. It is not even my favorite song on the album! Feels So Different starts off the album with the serenity prayer and the song is heavy with emotion. Sinead was either before her time, or as I see it, right on time. Her references in lyrics & in composition are great when it comes to forecasting the sign of the times. Prince would not just lend his lyrics out to anyone. Sinead has always been outspoken and steps ahead of socially accepted norms. I heart Sinead!
Oh yeah this was Prince getting Sinead O'Connor to do this song and it is beautiful and the Simplicity of just showing her and her singing with the pain you don't get that anymore thank you what an awesome video
Wow, hard to believe that you've never seen this...I kinda figured it was universal a long time ago. Ugh, I don't think that I'd worry much about Miley...she musta got into her Dad's stash, ate some 'shrooms, went on a trip and never came back. Now, she's even got her little sister acting like a fool. Seeing this for the first time in quite a while just shows how much Chris Cornell absolutely roasted this cut.
Just so you know Prince originally wrote Nothing Compares 2 U for a band called The Family. It was Sinead’s Manager who suggested she do a cover of the song. There is also way more to Sinead than Nothing Compares 2 U which is from her second album. Check out her first album The Lion & The Cobra which she recorded when she was only 19 while pregnant. She went on to create a prolific body of work, each album amazing. A true musical genius.
Her name is pronounced, Sha-naid. She sang this song in 1990. Since then she has converted to Islam and changed her name to Shuhada. She was believed to have mental and emotional issues during her career. Now we know she does.
@@aiden_macleod crikey well I stand corrected...though I've never heard it pronounced that way by anybody talking about her and that includes interviewers who O'Connor has seemingly not bothered to correct (maybe she prefers the seemingly incorrect shin-aid?!?)🎩
Who knows. Some people just don't feel comfortable correcting others. Being she's Irish, you can bet there's a lot that pronounce a lot of things wrong. As a Scotsman, I always wondered where the "sh" sound came from in the name Sean. Again, people who don't speak the dialect always seem to pronounce things differently, depending on the region they were born.
Shin-ade sang this song for her mother. She lost her mom when she was 18. They had a difficult relationship so when she sings this song there is hurt in her heart for the missing resolve.
She had a promising career until she went on Saturday Night Live and at the end of a song she held up a picture of the Pope and ripped it in half. That pissed off a LOT of people and she disappeared from most shows after that. She was labeled a difficult person to work with. She never struck me as a very happy person.
She was completely right though. The pope was an evil man who covered up thousands of child sex abuse cases. She was brave and right and it destroyed her career. So tragic.
She struggled w/depression & drugs for years. In fact she recently had the help of Dr. Phil who had her check into a special physicality to help her get better. She just hasn't had an easy time of it. She's so talented.
Sinead has presented with severe mental health issues. If I recall, she would later in life disclose publicly that she had been sexually abused by man of the cloth. If my recollection is accurate, one could understand why she ripped the pope's picture in half on live TV. I think she was one of the thousands of adults who had been harmed by a member of the clergy in the Catholic church.
Turns out she was right on the money. What the Catholic Church did to Ireland was just awful. And the abuse continued for so long. She was absolutely right to speak out. She was pilloried for it unfairly. She was definitely on the right side of history with that one.
Irish musicians and vocalists are amongst the most talented in the world. She was in pain because of some of the abuses of the Catholic Church in Ireland and part due to her mother's mental illness. In protest, she tore up a picture of the Pope (leader of Catholic Church) on Saturday Night Live and it was SO controversial, it tanked her career forever.
had to edit it , or TH-cam will BLOCK it . sorry you guys!
We did get the other reaction with Chris Cornell, so it's ok. :o)
pronounced shinade if that helps....also a prince cover
India your becoming one of my favourite people reacting to songs, well done keep up the good work.
Would love to hear you react to bee gees you win again.
Why the hell would they block it?? The skipping ruins the song. I dislike this woman but this song tugs me everytime I hear it. RIP Prince...
One of the most heartfelt video song performances ever. She sells the pain in EVERY single line. You believe its HER emotions
Hard to tell with the record skipping so much.
Stay by Sugarland does too
She never wrote it though. No thoughts about poor Prince. He must have been in a dark place when he wrote it 😥

Amen the best version to me
Mark I think best version to me means I think she is amazing duhhhh lol
Sinead's performance is stellar. Sinead, nothing compares to you.
Have you heard her: The Healing Room ?
You said it.
She turned a love song into a hymn....she will always be known for this song.

Sinead owns this song, don't matter who else covers it. This song was huge when it came out. Great reaction. ;)
You're kidding right, Prince owns this song because he wrote it she covered his song without permission.
@@itsmexena4727 AMEN!!!
True
Very emotional. That's why people say she owns it. So sad.
Ever heard of a little gentleman named Prince?
She was so beautiful when she was young. Great song written by Prince 👑
Youth makes one beautiful?
Usually
She made this a massive Hit..years ago..she was the first to make it a hit..no one else can sing it like her..
Great song. Prince wrote it.
She has a incredible voice & does amazing things with it.
Her voice kills me and the video is so great how she just looks in the camera and lays it on the line.
I always thought this version of the song was the cleanest, most emotional renditions performed. One of my favorites. Thank you!
Give a listen to The more recent version Chris Cornel did. Also awesome!
This song was a HUGE hit - it was everywhere.
Prince was an amazing artist and lyricist...such a beautiful song, and Sinead had the vocals to do this painful love song justice. I believe Sinead O'Connor suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, so she can *really* belt out that pain of abandonment.

Prince wrote this. But it's hers. Much respect to Sinead calling out the sex crimes and corruption of the Catholic Church, long before anyone else.
Also, fuck Frank Sinatra. Rest In Piss old blue eyes.

This is just a cover. A good, unique cover, but still thank Prince for penning this masterpiece!
History people, know it!
her version has so much feeling and express the pain so well it moves people to tears - even her in the song
She was an amazing fleeting shooting star. Iconic in the few years she was at the top. Amazingly gifted.
When everything Prince touched turned into audio gold.
She refused to play the music industry game. This was pretty much the peak of her career. Which takes nothing away from her.
That never really ended before his death. A few of his last records were among his best.
Prince tried beat her up high on drugs their first meeting
Her tears in this video are real. The lyrics "all the flowers that you planted mama in the back yard. All died when you went away" reminded her of her childhood trama involving her mother.

Love that song also
@Nicole Jessica Ha, I had the cassette too, think I played it so much I had to get the pen out at one point to get the reels back in order
LOL...I was just mentally transported to the neighbourhood roller rink, thanks for that! XD
Love thy will be gone by Martika
Very much so.
I remember Prince wrote this song and Manic Monday by The Bangles
another 70s baby? 😂.i miss those days
Martika's Kitchen? Didn't he right for Chaka Khan too? Man was a legend ....
And Sheila E - Sheena Easton and many others
yes Prince wrote it and cut it as a duet but It was Sinead who took it too the top
steadylynx1 - then Chris perfected it

Prince wrote and sang it too, its in his greatest hits. Thats why his call The Artist!
Chris who?
makes me emotional every time..thank u 4 ur reaction
To understand Sinead O'Connor - must listen to The Lion and The Cobra - the entire album (but especially "Troy")
Hehe my reaction exactly. That album is a must have!
Absolutely, my favorite album
The foggy dew with the chieftains will blow you away.
YOU'RE NOT WRONG 🔥🔥🔥
The foggy dew and Troy are her masterpieces.
She did a brilliant job with this Prince-penned piece

a Prince Masterpiece. a Sinead one of a kind
She has the most amazingly beautiful voice.. ❤
If you want to experience the peak of her voice, react to "Sinead O'Connor - Mandika (Grammy Awards) - 1989". Simply amazing.
Mark I saw that performance live and bought her CD the next day!
Great suggeestion. I love that song.
One of those songs that just makes you stop and listen. I've been doing that ever since it was released. A masterpiece of a performance.
Glad you reacted to this one, a long standing favorite of mine. The emotions pour thru her voice in this.
Here’s a little fact for you, her tears are real. She’s a lovely beautiful woman and done us Irish proud :)
One last thing how you didn’t cry to that song is madness
Because we're not soppy fools thats why.
A lovely beautiful woman are you kidding
This my man Prince's song. He wrote a lot of songs nobody knew he wrote which other artists graciously covered...but nothing compares to Prince💜💛💜

Thanks for doing this India. Her live version is even more intense and well worth watching.
Wow, blast from the past. I was barely out of high school when this came out. Beautiful song.
ditto
The original video had been rated as one of the TOP 5 videos ever broadcast on MTV, but now ranks only #34.
Yeah. Somewhere near THIRTY YEARS later, 'ONLY' ranked #34. :)
The first time I heard this, I couldn't believe how absolutely shattered she sounded. It's the best artistic exploration of wrenching heart ache that I can think of.
I saw her in concert when she was very popular in the 90s. Her voice is amazing but hearing it live was mind blowing! This is such a powerful song.
