This woman had the absolute power of her convictions, and the entire world did her wrong at the Catholic Church's orders. She was talking about the problems with the church decades before it was all proven to be true. Utterly beautiful woman inside and out both.
She did not suffer much from that. Sounds good. She suffers from a severe personality disorder treated as bipolar and given toxic drugs for a wrong diagnosis. Her personality disorder causes her to be unhinged and her family suffers also. She lashes out at them. Her early childhood abuse from Irish families caused it. Not the world or her tearing up the photo. It was not done in the 50’s
R.i.p. Sinead O'Connor. You had a hard life, but your music brought joy to a lot of people all around the world. You didn't deserve what your parents did to you. Then dealing with the death of your son is the worst thing a parent could go through.
The original catholic priest outer. She destroyed her career by tearing a pic of the pope in protest in 1992. She needs a major apology from the entire world, she was ahead of her time
MAJOR event on Saturday Night Live. Nobody knew it was about to happen. She lost fans. She lost business. SNL had actors leave. This was way before all the big cases and accusations. She was a young mother and was being condemned by the church. She got her say!!
It was ten years after that the Pope finally apologized for the abuse that the Catholic Church had involved in. They could no longer continue to hide it.
She shaved her head because the record company wanted her to dress and act all sexy. But she was like nah, I'm a singer. I'm here to sing. It was wrong what happened to her after she criticized the catholic church. She's strong as hell, stands up for what she believes, and I admire her for it.
Couldn't agree more, the irony is that I think she's more beautiful with a shaved head 😉 lollol I guess beautiful is beautiful no matter the outward presentation, plus it doesn't hurt that her voice is absolutely magnificent!!!
She's a very important influence in music, she was one of the few people to openly denounce the catholic church for doing nothing about the sexual abuse priests and people of power were committing and still commit. She was "cancelled" because of her views and few people really know about her today
@@anthonyv1719 WRONG! She mocked the Pope and the RC church because she had been abused as a child! Her career was CANCELLED because she exposed the RC church and their abuse of power and how they were peadophiles. Because of what she did, she started the ball rolling in the USA and people started coming out and saying how they had been abused, before this many victims were silenced legally and had no voice.The MSM ignored what had and was happening. Rose McGowan is suppose to be an advocate and voice for abused women yet when asked about working with a known convicted peadophile Victor Salvas by ADVOCATE (LGB) online magazine in 2011 she said "Oh that is none of my business! Victor is a lovely hard working man!" This was after Harvey Weinstein had RAPED her! Ask her on twitter about VS and she is SILENT....now that is a woman who does things for her own benefit!
So true, my mother was in Maryville Catholic orphage outside of Chicago due to the pandemic of 1918 Both parents died three weeks apart they were from Ireland no one to take the kids in. The suffering and beating from the nun always remain in my mother's psyche throughout the years of her life. The story she told my sister and myself always made me feel so horrible that she had to live through that even late into my mother's 80s she would tell us the story somehow just talkin about it was good therapy for her. I'm 70 years old and I still have no respect for the Catholic Church when the kids were old enough they would Farm them out to do housework in Des Plaines so they were used .If you did anything they considered wrong they would punish you by not allowing you to see your brothers for the following week .
@@brianlogsdon4824 she went on snl, sang then tore a picture of the pope up, fight the real enemy, its on TH-cam too, she wanted to expose what went on in Ireland behind closed doors in catholic orphanages and churches
Her last decade or so after converting to Islam have been amazing for her though. She’s great in interviews. Highly recommend checking out her interview on Beth Rhors’ TH-cam channel
We lost her ... she lost her babyboy age 17 couple yrs ago and she never recovered , she had many issues like most woke intelligent beings , i hope she is flying high reunited with her baby x
I've got two words for her: raw and gorgeous. Ever since I saw her performing "Mandinka" at Grammys (and felt struck by lightning) I admired her through all her cray.
I remember that like it was yesterday. I had that album on constant repeat. And then she came out on stage with the PE logo on her head - so great. Got to see her live twice.
I was going to mention that ! the audience was floored. As was I. Sidenote : The was the song playing when I met my sons father, the actual exact moment. so I nvr forget it or the meaning behind the lyrics. I had tickets to see her in boston. but then covid happened. 😪
@@carolcostello6792 She has always been Bat Shit Crazy ..Had her Kids Taken off her years ago ..I Think its because she was Abused Emotionally and Physically by her Mum .So that is going to Leave Damage ..Amazing Singer though ...
I love this song but never saw this performance. This is what giving 110% of your entire self to something, looks like. Whether its singing, music, sports, acting even science and literature. When you give it all you get something like this! Outstanding.
When you open your life story to the world, showing warts and all. Many, myself included, relate to this song, due to family abuse. I was lucky, I found the strength to walk away and never go back until my parents were dead.
@@tonyhaynes9080 I'm glad to hear you had the self-actualization to take care of yourself. One of my favorite wisdom quotes is; people treat you the way you let them treat you. I'm glad you stopped accepting bad treatment. Take care.
That's what I was gonna say, but rather than disregard the comments so this ends up here _hundreds_ of times, I will instead thank YOU for saying it and move along.
That was her biggest talent, she wasnt afraid of the so said "ugly" vocals, she puts every single emotion so strong jnto the song, she feels it intensely...
Taking a Prince song and totally owning it. So many, myself included, relate to this due to being in, or escaping from,an abusive relationship. The best thing I ever did was walk away from an abusive mother. It took 35 years to find out that she had abused all of us, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Awww💜 thank you, Mr.V. ... my first boyfriend gave me a mixtape he made for me with this song on it. He showed me how a bf was supposed to treat his girl, always kind, always sweet, beyond caring. He passed a few weeks after he gave it to me. Shout out to Jason Normile, never forgotten. 💜
Agreed. Mr. Video should watch the Official Vid. I doubt he could 'React' ithout it being blocked. It changed us all that vid. Very much reminds me on INXS vid 'Never tear us apart'- maybe same director?
This song is about her Mom according to Sinead ( Shi-NAYD). Her Mom was severely abusive but she still loved her Mother, who died when she was 19 and she became a global superstar thereafter. This was a popular song written by Prince….but her WHOLE album the “Lion & The Cobra” is WAY more incredible written by her. I was 16 yrs old when I bought her tape, it had just come out. No one really knew much about this Irish singer. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I still feel swept away by that album. I love you Sinead, Nothing compares to you!!
Her first album is still on my playlist - The Lion & The Cobra - Troy, Just Like You Said It Would Be, Jackie, Mandinka etc, etc. Her voice is incredible, it's almost as if she can harmonise with herself.
When i was pregnant with my 1st son this song was one of my favorites. I was obsessed with the video. Her voice...her face..He passed away at birth, this has became his memory song❤ always makes me think of my baby boy and the pain after he passed away......
I’d have to agree that Mandinka should be the next one ... studio version as most of the live ones are a bit hit or miss. You should also do the studio version of this one as it’s a different feel to the visceral version you get live where the audience takes over the performance too xxxxxx
I’d have to say that this is one of the best live versions I’ve seen of this track, only beaten by the version Prince did as part of the Graffiti Bridge show for the new release of the album..... it’s a BANGER ON STEROIDS AND ALL SMOKEABLES !!!!! AND THEN SOME !!!!
I do not want what I haven't got, this album got me through some hella confused early adolescent years. Music is the food for soul and this woman kept me fed. That whole album is worth a listen, not for content, just get fed.♥
Ironically, while I think your comment about videos distracting from the song is often true (I’m looking at you Tool), in this case, the official video for this song is just a close up of her singing straight into the camera. It’s simple and really allows the emotion of the song to shine through. She was huge for a while then controversy (unwarranted IMHO, she got the short end of that stick) and a messy personal life struck and her career never really recovered. Regardless, she’s a spectacular singer. I highly recommend the official video for the song Troy from her first album. Her singing and the raw emotion will melt your face off. I’ve seen one other reaction to it so it might not get blocked. I get a lot of joy from your channel. Thanks for doing your thing.
my first single cassette when I was 11..bought it with Christmas money at Strawberries music store..I learned to appreciate music because of her...also Prince wrote this song..I love you watching it with me again after so long..never saw her live so thank you Bunkie..👏👏💯👏🤗🎵🎶💜🎶💜🎵🎵💜💫🌈💗
I love Sinead, she wears her emotions on her sleeve.Love her politics or hate them,the woman had a voice like no other, try Troy,or Emporers New Clothes
Sinead is like a conduit of raw energy here, and also so delicate and so moving. Such a beautiful voice combined with powerful expression! So glad you have discovered Sinead Mr V! Some of her lesser known album songs are equally stunning, you might enjoy exploring those too ✨
Sinead is great... so talented and she made this song come to life, best version ever. Better than Prince performed this song and he wrote it. Sinead owns this song for her performance and cover/rendition ♥️
She is a very passionate person. At one of her performances the crowd booed her made her cry and kris kristoferson came out hugged her and basically said get back out here and fuck them
The official video of this is so sweet and subtle and this live performance is so strong an powerful. It's fantastic. Well, both are fantastic. And both are beautiful. I love your reaction.
Her talent was so unbelievable and she could have continued a lifetime of music contribution..as one of the best in time. She is so strong and a survivor. Battling her Mental Health issues over the years and losing her Career..almost killed her. It's so hard to find new paths. Hurts me deeply..that her career was ended.. long before it should have. There was never a full story investigated or explained at that time..from her side without condemnation.. before judgement. She had said she was really young and angry..that she wished her avenue of expressing feelings could have been more appropriate. Never that her statements were incorrect..because they were not. The industry ruined everything with the way they handled this situation. She did not have anyone to even help her put anything right or explain the right way.
She's from Ireland that's why she has that tongue in her voice when she sings kind of like the lead singer of The cranberries she's also from Ireland they kind of have that I want to say that but it's not a you know what I'm talking about
What Sinéad did to this song is like what Whitney did with 'I will always love you- Dolly Parton.. or KD Lang did with Hallelujah- Leonard Cohendid these ladies epitomized those songs. Prince, Dolly Parton and Leonard Cohen knew their song were forever changed and praised these ladies openly.
My husband is part Irish & he's always saying that the Irish spellings of names always confuses people - LOL! Her name is spelled Sinead (Sin-need) but the actual correct pronunciation is (Shin-aid) . On your own time, please check out the official video for this song (which was composed by Prince).
I love that you’re concerned for the safety of her feet on stage! Part of why I keep coming back to your channel is your big heart! You’re a joy to watch! Stay authentic, stay you, Mr. Video. We love you ♥️
Sinead was one of a kind. This song was played at every school dance when I was younger so it reminds me of slow dancing back in the day lol Sinead was a badass.
My first time hearing this song period, was by a group called “The Family “ in the earlier 80’s- much different, but I loved it ,and love this and certainly Chris Cornell’s version- RIP Chris- ❤️🙌🏻
This song never gets old. Ever. Prince wrote it, and I absolutely love him and adore him and miss him, but she sings this song better. It’s like it was made for her and only her to sing and perform.
Marvellous. This was Chile, the sound balance was crazy and the piano player drowning her double volume. Watch carefully and youll see her hissing at him to hush - so she had to belt it out right to the end. Most times she sings this from a whisper, softly as well as full belt.
"She is crazy" - indeed there is that 💯. Really. This song though (especially the studio version) is haunting and beautiful and soulful. You might consider watching the official video, it's kind of hypnotic.
@@carolcostello6792 This is correct. People are idiotic for just repeating that shit for years. I'd like to see anyone else go up against the man and make it out alive like that.
I wish when she tore up the picture of Pope John Paul ll on SNL she would have been specific about what she was protesting. What she said was, fight the real enemy, and then tore up the picture. It was several years before we knew exactly what she was protesting. Maybe the abuse cases in Ireland were already known to people there. However, in the US the sex abuse scandal did not become public until a while after that. I admire her and love her voice and though I was working in the church at the time I did not know anyone who was upset with her. We assumed she was talking about sexism.
This song is really something special. It was originally for prince he wrote it, but she saying it like nobody’s business. And by the way, the video with her right there staring into the camera is so profound and really an absolutely brilliant video.
This woman had the absolute power of her convictions, and the entire world did her wrong at the Catholic Church's orders. She was talking about the problems with the church decades before it was all proven to be true. Utterly beautiful woman inside and out both.
She did not suffer much from that. Sounds good. She suffers from a severe personality disorder treated as bipolar and given toxic drugs for a wrong diagnosis. Her personality disorder causes her to be unhinged and her family suffers also. She lashes out at them. Her early childhood abuse from Irish families caused it. Not the world or her tearing up the photo. It was not done in the 50’s
Absolutely! So sad to hear about her son committing suicide a few months ago.
@@tracyjohnson5023 didn't know she had lost her son , sad to hear, one of the most natural beauties I've ever seen and the voice is angelic 🏴
absolutely right.....uniquely beautiful woman, inside out!
R.i.p. Sinead O'Connor. You had a hard life, but your music brought joy to a lot of people all around the world. You didn't deserve what your parents did to you. Then dealing with the death of your son is the worst thing a parent could go through.
Yo I'm an Irish girl and the green pride is beetin out my chest!!! Thanks for listening xxxxx
The original catholic priest outer.
She destroyed her career by tearing a pic of the pope in protest in 1992.
She needs a major apology from the entire world, she was ahead of her time

MAJOR event on Saturday Night Live. Nobody knew it was about to happen. She lost fans. She lost business. SNL had actors leave.
This was way before all the big cases and accusations. She was a young mother and was being condemned by the church. She got her say!!
That was some serious shit she did, some brave shit!! God bless her!
Not the first by a long shot. But definitely the first major celebrity to do something dramatic about it live on tv.
It was ten years after that the Pope finally apologized for the abuse that the Catholic Church had involved in. They could no longer continue to hide it.
She shaved her head because the record company wanted her to dress and act all sexy.
But she was like nah, I'm a singer. I'm here to sing.
It was wrong what happened to her after she criticized the catholic church.
She's strong as hell, stands up for what she believes, and I admire her for it.
Absolutely agreed 💯
Hard to be sane in an insane world. What gives me solace - music transcends.
Couldn't agree more, the irony is that I think she's more beautiful with a shaved head 😉 lollol I guess beautiful is beautiful no matter the outward presentation, plus it doesn't hurt that her voice is absolutely magnificent!!!
I always thought that had something to do with it. She was so beautiful, but she wanted people to listen and not be distracted by her looks.

FALSE! She was not cancelled rather she mocked the pope for her own personal reasons - nothing do with abuse at the time. She killed her own career.

You know, it was a damn shame how she was ostracized after that one SNL performance. She ended up being right about the Catholic Church.
Thanks for drawing my attention to this
th-cam.com/video/X0VpfiMcPPA/w-d-xo.html
I never heard the full story. Did she unravel the child abuse?
I saw the SNL performance. It was great, i loved it. If i ever meet her, i want to thank her.

This womans body IS her instrument. And its a fierce instrument.
Ohhhhhh I AM SOOOOO HAPPPY YOU FOUND HER!! (You haven't Started Yet)
sings with her entire body. absolutely agree. FIERCE!
Her SOUL is her instrument- she's an empath- emotions must flow from the body
Craziness backed by exceptionally tremendous talent and craft, unlike today.

Honestly she resonated with both, her true emotion showed so artistically. She's amazing.

I've never actually seen a live version of her singing this song. This performance is way better than the studio version.
It was live in Chile. Amnesty International event.
Yes!!!
it's different....
Far better than the studio version!!. She is just amazing.
Im.sorry but I prefer the studio version,
What a RAW and beautiful performance! Including the audience❤ singing back and harmonizing 😊 The People,Music,Energy, Rhythm... Chemistry!

Her name is pronounced Shiy-naid, and of course this was written by Prince.
The song's official video is filmed in one take and very emotional.
I didn't know prince wrote this, it's an awesome song. I know it goes way back. 👍💕
I didn’t know this was written by prince awesome
Just learned that she and her partner broke up the day before she filmed the "official video" ... those tears are real!
Agreed. Mr. Video should watch the Official Vid. I doubt he could 'React' ithout it being blocked. It changed us all that vid. Very much reminds me on INXS vid 'Never tear us apart'- maybe same director?
@@maryscaggsdane1978 the tears were also about her abusive mother 'all the flowers we planted, in the back yard.' Are all dead and gone. 😳 Ouch!

LMAO. Drops her jacket, wearing just a bra... "Lady, put some shoes on!!" 🤣
💯❣️
🤣
To be fair these days it's normal to see performers in underwear but they'll still be wearing shoes. 😆
Her jacket was open the whole time and that was the style back then, it was more of a corset bra
Annie Lennox ever with only Bra in Concerts
When i was pregnant with my 1st son this song was one of my favorites. I was obsessed with the video. Her voice...her face..He passed away at birth, this has became his memory song❤ always makes me think of my baby boy and the pain after he passed away......
Sinead is a force of nature! Got to listen to Mandinka next.
Mandinka is a banger!

Her own songs are even better than “Nothing Compares 2 U”

❣️💯
And the Prince version of the song
Ah just commented that! Such a good cover
What he said ☝🏼
Added another one!
Her childhood was one of extreme abuse by her mother. She is a survivor for sure. Love her passion 👍
She s Great!!!! My son was 7 yrs old when he got me her CD for
Mothers Day❣ He s now 38 yrs old & we still love this SONG 🎶🎶🎤❤

She is a very passionate person. At one of her performances the crowd booed her made her cry and kris kristoferson came out hugged her and basically said get back out here and fuck them
She was so strong and so kind. She used her voice to protest important issues. And I loved her. RIP sweet soul.❤
The official video of this is so sweet and subtle and this live performance is so strong an powerful. It's fantastic. Well, both are fantastic. And both are beautiful. I love your reaction.
Her talent was so unbelievable and she could have continued a lifetime of music contribution..as one of the best in time.
She is so strong and a survivor.
Battling her Mental Health issues over the years and losing her Career..almost killed her.
It's so hard to find new paths.
Hurts me deeply..that her career was ended.. long before it should have.
There was never a full story investigated or explained at that time..from her side without condemnation.. before judgement.
She had said she was really young and angry..that she wished her avenue of expressing feelings could have been more appropriate.
Never that her statements were incorrect..because they were not.
The industry ruined everything with the way they handled this situation.
She did not have anyone to even help her put anything right or explain the right way.
She's from Ireland that's why she has that tongue in her voice when she sings kind of like the lead singer of The cranberries she's also from Ireland they kind of have that I want to say that but it's not a you know what I'm talking about
It’s called an Irish lilt. I think it’s beautiful, especially with music.
That wail - it's called keening, used by ancient Celts to communicate loss in funer wakes.
Her and Dolores O’Riordan are in a class of their own. Love them both. Sláinte
What Sinéad did to this song is like what
Whitney did with 'I will always love you- Dolly Parton.. or
KD Lang did with Hallelujah- Leonard Cohendid
these ladies epitomized those songs. Prince, Dolly Parton and Leonard Cohen knew their song were forever changed and praised these ladies openly.
She is bipolar, and struggles with depression. This was a great performance tho.. Shes done a lot of controversial stuff through the years.
Yeah that’s putting it lightly LOL
More like she's nuttier than a squirrel turd.
💯❣️
@Lying Dog Face Pony Soldier oh boo hoo. Grow up you triggered little snowflake
Oh the irony. Trigger this, snowflake that. Lol.
This song was THE perfect storm of songwriter and singer! So, so good either studio or live version!
the official video with the one tear gets me every time 🏴🏴🏴
rip sinead ....we love you
PRINCE WROTE THIS SONG CHECK OUT THE SAME SONG SUNG BY CHRIS CORNELL
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❣️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Both absolutely beautiful,
CHRIS CORNELL was THE BEST BEST EVER!!!
@@karmakay7566 still is
This song always makes me cry... so many greats have done it, but something about her makes it so raw and extra beautiful ❤️
Great reaction as usual...I have loved this song since it first came out but I never saw this live version. 🔥🔥🔥
Second time... Maybe third, watching this particular reaction. Nice having a friend appreciate this performance it's so fricken powerful
My husband is part Irish & he's always saying that the Irish spellings of names always confuses people - LOL! Her name is spelled Sinead (Sin-need) but the actual correct pronunciation is (Shin-aid) . On your own time, please check out the official video for this song (which was composed by Prince).
I love that you’re concerned for the safety of her feet on stage! Part of why I keep coming back to your channel is your big heart! You’re a joy to watch! Stay authentic, stay you, Mr. Video. We love you ♥️
Sinead was one of a kind. This song was played at every school dance when I was younger so it reminds me of slow dancing back in the day lol Sinead was a badass.
She's still around....
When I want to watch this live, I come back here to your reaction. Just fills what I need in my music soul.
8 comments and 4 people saying this was written by Prince. I should keep a counter but that will be futile.
Prince may have written it but she made it what it is I believe.
Take a shot each time it's commented! Ummm....did you know Prince wrote this? (there ya go, first shot) 🥃🤣🤗❤
It was also performed by a group called “The Family”, in the earlier 80’s- theirs was my first introduction to it/✌️✨
@@andreab449 I would be in the hospital by the third refresh.
Andrea B fun fact- my first time hearing this was by a group called “The Family.” Early to mid 80’s-✌️✨
I saw her in London. She stood on stage in a single spotlight. It was impossible to draw your eyes away. Mesmerising.
This is a Prince song.
Weird how few people know that...
It is??? I had no idea!
I had no idea either!! I didn’t think I could love this song anymore than I already did but now it’s reached a different level!! ❤️
Yahe when Prince met her he went to beat her up he chased her around a car
Yes it is . He's was so selective who he let cover his songs...they had to be special. She is. Love when prince does it.
RIP Queen! Your voice and your fight will be remembered!
My first time hearing this song period, was by a group called “The Family “ in the earlier 80’s- much different, but I loved it ,and love this and certainly Chris Cornell’s version- RIP Chris- ❤️🙌🏻
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❣️
RIP to a beautiful soul and singer and human. 💕💕💕
This song never gets old. Ever. Prince wrote it, and I absolutely love him and adore him and miss him, but she sings this song better. It’s like it was made for her and only her to sing and perform.
I have heard this song so many times over the years but this is the first time I’ve heard her sing live. She’s got an amazing voice.
If you like her then please watch Skunk Anansie with the song WEAK she's is amazing. HONESTLY THIS WOMAN IS AMAZING .
That song is everything!
Marvellous. This was Chile, the sound balance was crazy and the piano player drowning her double volume. Watch carefully and youll see her hissing at him to hush - so she had to belt it out right to the end. Most times she sings this from a whisper, softly as well as full belt.
Y’all. We need to get him some Björk.
Yasssss!
I was just thinking the same thing what about its ohh so quiet!!!???
I don't think he's ready for Bjork !! In the unlikely event he wants to go there Human Behaviour is probably her best video
😍
Gosh folks, do we have to? Ugh. Definitely an acquired taste.
Wow. Just Wow. So glad i watched that with you, brother!
Best song Prince wrote, best singer to perform it. 🍀❣
This song was in loop on MTV Europe... ive “heard” it was made after her break up with The Singer Peter Grabriel (sledge hammer)
React to her singing Mandika at the Grammies. They tried to get her to lip sync. She belts it out so over the music
You are so hilarious, seriously! Keep it up! I am impressed with your work! 🙋🙋
Great reaction. Can you do something fun from the 80's called "Love Shack"? I feel like something fun. Cheers from Canada
Bought her first CD and she blew us away!
At that time it was new, fresh, different and amazing.
"She is crazy" - indeed there is that 💯. Really. This song though (especially the studio version) is haunting and beautiful and soulful. You might consider watching the official video, it's kind of hypnotic.
She is not crazy she was destroyed for outing PAEDOPHILES
@@carolcostello6792 This is correct. People are idiotic for just repeating that shit for years. I'd like to see anyone else go up against the man and make it out alive like that.
I love your reaction to Sinead! She is amazing!
I wish when she tore up the picture of Pope John Paul ll on SNL she would have been specific about what she was protesting. What she said was, fight the real enemy, and then tore up the picture. It was several years before we knew exactly what she was protesting. Maybe the abuse cases in Ireland were already known to people there. However, in the US the sex abuse scandal did not become public until a while after that. I admire her and love her voice and though I was working in the church at the time I did not know anyone who was upset with her. We assumed she was talking about sexism.
This song is really something special. It was originally for prince he wrote it, but she saying it like nobody’s business. And by the way, the video with her right there staring into the camera is so profound and really an absolutely brilliant video.
Should we recommend her song ''Troy'' or is that to far out? ^^ speaking about captivating craziness..
Troy ...... OooooooOooooOooo... I'd Kill a Dragon for YOU... I drew Strength from THIS for Years
I love that song. Very powerful.
My favorite song hands down, by her! I loved the whole The Lion and the Cobra album.
Yes!
I love the fact she didn’t have shoes on. It shows her level of comfort and commitment to the performance.
Checkout Chris Cornell’s version of this song. In my opinion it better than the original version
Makes me cry every single time. 💔
Same here...RIP Chris
The video is beautiful. I'm not a fan of live versions for the first time hearing a song.
Yessssssss, great version!!!
I love her…just came back to rewatch your reaction…love how you were feeling that chugga chugga Cho-Chooing!
Prince wrote some bangers
First time I've had chills in awhile
