Cannot believe this beautiful woman left us today. RIP Sinead
This is the ONE & ONLY Version. She was, She is and will always be, the BEST.
The face of an angel, and a voice that can tear your heart out! He gave it to her, IT'S HERS!
Interesting to note, the entire arrangement was orchestrated by Sinead, along with her band. Prince was enraged at her treatment of the song, probably because she did such an excellent job.
Also interesting to note, she dedicated and devoted this song to her mother. Not about a boy or boyfriend. That's where the tears came from.
@@LKre-vi5oq A turbulent spirit, finally at peace! R.I.P.
Her transistions from power to soft vocals and back are flawless.
Prince was a genius. I think this is one of the saddest songs ever written and Sinéad brings a unique raw emotion with her interpretation. Amazing.
A former colleague went to see prince here in New zealand not long before he died, and as he started to play this song, he said a woman behind him said "why is he playing this, this isn't his song". He said he turned around, looked her dead in the eye and said "are you serious? Get out" 🤣
@@JAZPER53 wrong, prince wrote the song. Sinead made it famous but prince wrote it.
prince wriote this?? ...the more you know 😲
@@paulharper4196 he gave it to her to sing, same as "when you were mine" to Cyndi Lauper: cause he knew that they would deliver the songs in a way that were more true to the message than he could do. Prince didn't give songs away without serious intent to the art.
@@randyrandall8274 I wouldn't say "gave away". Prince let "The Family" record it and how and when Sinead acquired permission is not clear- back in the day there was a Prince / Sinead quarrel.
We do know that Prince (and now his estate) still has ownership of the song- as Sinead was Denied use for her 2022 documentary.
Nevertheless, the Purple genius wrote amazing lyrics and Sinead's version is incredible. 💜
Her version is THE version.
Prince's version of nothing compares 2 u cinematic mix on the "Originals" CD is heaven.
Prince is a God. BUT Sinead’s version is THE version of this song. She made it popular. And made it her own.
No, no, no, we love Sinead ❤️
I haven't heard this in a long time. I forgot just how glorious it is!!
I’ve never heard Prince’s version. I know he wrote a lot of songs for a lot of people.
Sinead is a real talent. Everyone turned on her and then went to sleep on her, but Sinead and Tracy Chapman were talents not to be ignored back then. Sinead was powerful
Ireland produces many, many great bands and singers. They know how to celebrate...They know how to mourn and emote their pain.
The Corrs and The Cranberries are just a few 😍 ♥
@@xavierrose8208 U2
Yes, we do! 🍀
We do it's true..
Van Morrison
I am Irish I saw Sinead sing on two occasions, note perfect and a powerhouse of a woman. She is tiny with the force of ten people, super proud to be Irish. She is a national treasure. Thank you for a lovely reaction.
The 90s song
Rest In Peace Sinead O'Connor, a courageous and beautiful soul and a gift to this world. You will be missed!
You saying “It’s not your fault” when she sang “what did I do wrong” made me smile! Thx for the reaction!
Lol.. I love when he talks to the singer's lyrics
Me, too. What a fantastic, real man you are. Do you have a single brother?
@@CaroleHaddon I like that as well. It is a spiritual conversation.
Beth Merryfield He’s doing a live stream today. Let’s ask him! 😂😂💖👍
@@turdferguson400 when's the livestream???
Crying already. Whoever requested this, awesome choice. Thank you! 💖💖💖👍
Her voice cuts through the lyrics like a knife! Did you notice she was crying by the end of the video...💔 😢?
There's a story behind that famous tear. Apparently Sinead's mother had passed away not too long before this video was filmed, and the line "All the flowers that you planted in the back yard / all died when you went away" totally set her off because that's exactly what happened in her own mother's back yard shortly before - you even hear her adding the word "mama" into the line, where it wasn't intentionally written there. Sinead says she had a very troubled relationship with her mother and that this line hit her hardest of all. It really shows here
@@BardOfAndromeda I was not aware her mother passed...thanks for the info!
A 21st Century Heretic I knew the story about her mum but didn’t twig that she’d added Mama to the lyrics which, when you think about it, doesn’t make sense for the story of the song but is perfect for her version. Love it 💕
@@BardOfAndromeda FYI, the line "mama" is in the original version, which is written from the perspective of a male and was the only line in the song where she didn't switch genders.
ShyeNYC
EVERYONE noticed that!
When Prince performed this song, it went nowhere. When he heard her voice, and style, he gave her this song. And she made it a hit.
Irish singers can convey pain in their voices like no other
That tear she shed’s shows she put her ALL into this song. She deserves a world wide apology for the backlash when she ripped the pope’s pic. The world didn’t know then, but we know now!
How true!
Yep, screw the Catholic Church.
@@Ms.Andrist How about "screw those guilty and those who covered it up"?
Nobody is guilty by association.
People like you painting with broad brushes are the problem in this world.
@@dherman0001 Dude, I hate the Catholic Church and not really fond of Christians in general.
@@Ms.Andrist Fascists are full of hate, that's part of who you are.
"It ain't your fault!" was the sweetest thing to say in this moment!! 😊 you're so pure man! 💚
thought the same!
@@joesie74 Me too, I'm not usually into reaction videos too much, but this guy has so much good in his soul.
How does he know tho
Yessss !! That was so sweet. It made me cry ❤
Rest in POWER tonight Sinead - your troubled soul has found its peace at last
She cry and sing at same time. She put all her tears and broken soul in this song. This was an anthem in 1990 for me (I was 17 yo in 1990).
I was 18 and had my heart broken the first time. I had this song on repeat.
Same, I remember crying in a pub toilets with a broken heart and this song in the background 🙈
I was 20 years old when I first heard this song on the radio. I was totally blown away. To this day I have never heard a song sung so emotionally.
I was 10. This was my favorite.
Lol I was 20 and our 80's and 90's were the best ♥️
Her performance is outstanding. Oh, and she was gorgeous too.
She’s not a 1-hit wonder. She had at least another couple of hits, but yes, this is biggest. Brilliant interpretation
Something Beautiful!
Exactly what I said. No one hit wonder at all.
Emperors new clothes
WHAT fool said that??? Don't show your ignorance.
Yeah, Troy was a great song too, for those who don't know it, check it out.
I love how her face goes through all the emotions of anger, defiance, mocking, sadness, pleading, etc.
Good observation ❤️
When this song came out in early 1990, it was the original. Prince had written it but had never recorded or released a studio version himself. So in a sense, this really *is* the original and definitive version because it reached No.1 all over the world, sold millions, and it was Sinead's performance that had made this song an international hit.
That's right. Prince agreed for her to be the one to record it. It's not like it was a shock to him that she made his song--that he hadn't recorded--a hit.
@@J_Gamble Not true, she wasn't the first. The song first appeared on The Family's album on Paisley Park in 1985. But it was an obscure song not many people (except Prince die-hard fans) knew about. And her take on it (the arrangement) is very different. th-cam.com/video/bmywGLVlwTg/w-d-xo.html
@@dummytree Good to know. Thanks.
Correct! Sinead made this song popular
@@dummytree But hers was the first single. Apparently it was more or less a filler on The Family’s album.
PRINCE WROTE THIS SONG AND GAVE IT TO SINEAD TO SING. THAT WAS HIS GENIUS.
Prince wrote the song for his side project The Family and was on the debut album basically as filler. Prince said that he was never interested in recording it himself as he would never do the lyrics the justice they deserved and it was only after O'Connors success with it that he began performing it live.
Wow ! You learn something every day !
No, he DID NOT write it for her. He wrote it for The Family who recorded it and sung it years before she did.
th-cam.com/video/_ZlzN0Gtpp8/w-d-xo.html
Ya he is a genius. You know that he chased her out of his house! He is a legend RIP.
Yeah he didn't give it to her. He was known for trying to get the ownership rights to his music back. He was pissed about her success with his song. According to Sinead he hit her and she had run out of his out to stop being attacked
When she recorded this, she’d just lost her mum, she didn’t realise she was crying
Tears of joy and relief then. Sinead talked about abuse and her mom being possesed by the devil. Not a happy childhood and/or relationship with her mom.
Absolutely u are correct. In a car accident. That they tear
Every time i see that tear drop i crumble n rewind a few times lol.. this video is one of the most beautifully shot vids ever imo.. just pure raw human emotion. The cuts to the statues ect i felt wernt needed.. her face alone.. made the vid... it is and will always be.. right up there as the one of thee greatest ever videos and songs..
@@martinmillar7137 yes so beautiful not long before she lost her mum. When singing that song. Her mum was on her mind. This her words
@@Neetia89 no if you watched tho whole thing you would've known that she actually misses her mom
Sinead is another unbreakable spirit, but she breaks our hearts when she sings because she bares her soul, the pain, the tenderness, the fury, what a masterpiece of emotion!❤️
Wtf are you talking about? "Unbreakable spirit" her spirit is so broken she has completely lost her mind, 8 suicide attempts in one year, Her spirit has left the building.
Listen to her version of Silent Night ... Awesome
@@farqsideways5679 What do you know of how she feels and what pain she felt to attempt suicide? The only thing that matters is that she lives on and hopefully finds peace in her soul for what ails her.If you have never been on the brink of giving in to those dark thoughts which pull you to death you should keep silent. Be kind and don't mock tributes to her. What's unbreakable in her is all the passion she gave of herself to her music that will live on no matter what else happens to her.
I saw an interview where she said this song actually reminded her of her mother who had recently died when she first heard this song. The line about the flowers reminded Sinead of the flowers her mother planted in her yard, thats why she started crying in the video. I always thought that was interesting because its probably the reason she covered the song and was able to make it her own. And of course it a classic.
And it is more sad since her mother abused her mentally and phisically , but she couldn' t hate her . When a parent hurt a child , tje child don't hate their parent , but themselve .
She said that in the Vh1 100 Greatest songs of the 90s special.
When this came out I didn't know Prince wrote it. 🤷🏼♂️
Everytime I see her shed a tear in this video it kills me!! 😢
This IS Prince's version of the song he wrote as he envisioned it being sung.
My upstairs neighbor broke up with his boyfriend and played this on repeat (loudly) for 24 hours.
I never even thought about complaining... I just hope it helped him out. It's been there for me in moments of need.
Its mad that music has the power to touch people in certain ways
R.I.P Sinead O'Conner 😪 Such a beautiful soul inside and out. I hope she's finally at peace and with her son again 😪💛
🙏⚘💛⚘🙏😥
She was a rebel, when being a rebel was not really a good idea. She was ostracized, and I hate that we have a limited amount of songs from her because of the people who scorned her. I don't know much about her story, because I was very young.
She was sexually abused by a family member and as a result rebelled especially against the Catholic Church. That's why she famously tore up a picture of the pope.
She had bi-polar, offended a ton of people and became a Buddhist nun.
@@deirdremacnamara9885 I had no idea that she was sexually abused. Thank you for that information.
She repeatedly publicly protested about the catholic priests involved in global child abuse and the cover-up by the Vatican, media and governments...and paid the price. Tragic
@@deirdremacnamara9885 "just rebelled against the catholic church" she has publicly supported the provos before
When this song came out, no one had heard it before. She killed it. It makes me emotional to this day.
Me too! Her voice makes me tear up
I had heard it.
Years before she sang it I had heard it.
th-cam.com/video/_ZlzN0Gtpp8/w-d-xo.html
@@zahrahusain5965 me too :'( :)
Decades ago when I was a teen, the camp counselor in charge of theater and drama at a Christian college's summer camp used to hold up this video as top notch acting. The facial expressions, every movement evoked pure, raw feeling. Sinead even began crying while filming this video -- for a song she didn't even write.
At a time when people were trying to distance themselves from Sinead (due to the SNL controversy), this man said no, look at this, this is overwhelming talent.
As a kid in Ireland at that time, I remember seeing she had shaved her hair off and thinking...what a rebel 💕
She has that Irish Lilt to her voice that is so beautiful. I was a huge Prince fan and I love her version.
You've gotta have eyes like that to get away with that haircut! Apparently, at the outset of her career (ie, before "Mandinka" and "The Lion and the Cobra"), her label suggested she dress "girlier". The buzz cut was her response!
No she kept short hair because her abusive mom wanted her sister to be a boy and shaved her head. So Sinead shaved hers, too, to make her sister feel better.
@@karaa7595 Is that right? Jesus her mother was damaged, to put it mildly.
I always thought it was her rebellion against the feminine stereotype, particularly in modelling.
She looks simular to Audry Hepburn in this video
@@karaa7595 Well, that's sick. But Sinead is so selfless to do that. She is tremendous, so beautiful and the short cut just highlights her elfin beauty more.
If you went through a breakup in the 90's, this is the song you would turn to. On CD of course!
Oh, yes! 💯
Lol you sure got that right!! I remember that very well! Wow what memories!! ❤️
Oh and it def wasn’t aCD for me!!lmao
Too true!! My ultimate breakup song :(
I had the album on cassette, lol
As others have said Prince's version was almost completely unknown when Sinead's came out. So no backlash from fans of Prince's version.
The song was unknown because Prince had already 500 more. BUT! Prince was famous enough at that moment. O'Connor's promoter knew what he had to choose, he was smart and gave to the song a twist of mainstream...
That first album by Sinéad was a delight in so many senses. I listened to it thousands of times.
oskarobit She was so good in the Pink Floyd ‘The Wall’ concert in Berlin. She sang ‘Mother’. Some of the boys from The Band were there too. 💖👍👍
@@turdferguson400 I was stuck to my TV that day :)
oskarobit So good, mate! I also loved Van the Man singing ‘Comfortably Numb’. Superb. 👍👍💖
Prince wrote the song
Her mother had just passed away and this was dedicated to her, allegedly the video was meant to have several versions spliced together.
The tears are real and it was decided just to show this version as it showed such emotion and it was shot in one take.
Her mother was an abusive pig
That girl just touches you with those eyes and genuine lyrics
Those are real tears, when she made this video she started crying for real, so they didn't edit the video. She is Irish.
So back when I was a teenager we never even heard Prince sing this song. There wasn’t even a video of him singing it on MTV. The Prince video you find on YT was just a bunch of clips done after the fact from various performances. So, when Sinead sang it we had “nothing 2 compare it 2”.
💯
Yes From Houston 👍
Texan Lioness the last line of your comment was SO cute. I just love it. You seem like a cool chick!!!
Exactly.
craig 22 Right - just pointing out his version of it was not being compared to hers when it came out.
A delightful song, you seriously can’t dislike this one. When I first heard this it took me, all of 30 seconds to like it.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded! I still remember the first time I heard this. I just woke up on a school day (I was a senior in high school) and I absolutely KNEW it would be a #1 hit!!! This is the only good version of the song. I've heard them all. Nothing compares 2 this version!!!
Sinead stunned with this song. She had us all crying and feeling her pain at the loss of her lover.
It was the loss of her mother not long before she first heard the track
@@jakesullivan9059 I had not heard that. Thank you for clarifying. I was told it was about her lover leaving her. The lyrics are appropriate to any extreme loss.
Okay I'm going to give you a history lesson she was NOT a one hit wonder, I'm not sure why you categorize her as that??
she was actually very famous and popular she was not mainstream she had a lot of hits in Europe he was usually only played on USA alternative radio stations prior to this song she has a another album that was Kick-Ass so she ended up covering prince's song which took her to the top, her downfall was Saturday night Live when she tore the picture of the Pope on live TV and then all the Catholics freaked out, she was protesting because of all the pedophile priest, so she was black mark/blacked balled .. times have changed and now you can do anything you want and still be an idiot famous Hollywood actor or singer..
I'm 40, I remember when this came out, I was VERY young, but very tentative to the stories that songs would tell, and I'd be crying during the instrumental bridge because I was holding back tears trying to sing the words till that point. And to this day, I can't sing the rest of the song because I'd be crying through it and never learned the lyrics. I was very young, very in touch with feelings. She sounded sad on the radio, and I think my heart broke for her. 💔
Carole Haddon same
Prince never recorded this song on any of his albums!! Sinead was given this song and it rocketed her to fame! Afterwards Prince would sing it at concerts mostly due to it being loved thanks to SINEAD... Btw Sinead had a crazy abusive childhood by her mother and became a punk rock singer after her mother died in a car crash when she was 18... She channelled her emotions from her child abuse into her music becoming a huge punk rock singer! Check out her song TROY live in London 1988... It's recorded live yet the TH-cam video plays her live recording over the official video imaging... You will hear the power of her voice and her emotions capitaved the crowds she played for! She is best live!! THANK YOU for reacting to SINEAD! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not sure if he put on any of his albums but there’s a Prince version of this song on spotify
Medicina, you're wrong Prince recorded this as a demo. After 'The Revolution' fell apart and the former members were in several projects like 'Wendy and Lisa' and 'The Family' he helped 'The Family' and one of the songs he gave them was this one. If you don't believe you can search for that version at youtube. He didn't gave that to Sinead, for a matter of fact he was about to put this on single, and right before that Sinead did it, and that was the reason why he was mad at Sinead. And well it is recorded and you can find it at 'The Hits and B-sides', a compilation album with a few newer songs like 'peach'.
@@xXTheoLinuxXx right so i meant he never released this song as his own before Sinead released it, even if he recorded a demo privately.. That's why i think its more "her" song ... and its definitely not a cover song.
And I do believe you cuz she got rights to record it from The Family and Prince did try to intervene on Sinead recording it, before* she recorded it, and she has a story he was hitting her in the face (with a pillow) and arguing with her to not record it. Apparently he didn't like her foul mouth and strong aggressive style... She made the song a huge success though as we all know... Afterwards Price did record it for release (Hits & B Sides) and also performed it live which you can see on TH-cam..
When this came out Most were unaware that prince even wrote it because it was very much her song nobody cared who wrote it cuz she crushed it
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 those ladies openly.
Sinead wasn’t a one hit wonder. The Lion and the Cobra is still one of my favourite albums. What a voice.
Nothing compares to your reactions my brother! Keep on keepin' on!
A classic! This song was number 1 for multiple weeks in 1990. It was like yesterday. I can't believe 30 years has passed !
היא מדהימה שיר יפה עם הרבה כאב מאוד מרגש❤❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
It feels like she is singing to you. Definitely feel the emotion, and you can relate and feel what she is feeling.
She had loads of hits. Troy, Mandinka, The Emperor's New Clothes, Fire on Babylon, to name just a few.
@Wayfarer I don't actually know that one. I must go look it up.
Louise Flintoff it’s from her first album Lion and Cobra which is phenomenal, every track is either a rocker or haunting.
Definitely not a one hit wonder.
@@jasonnelson9707 Funnily enough, I have that album. Must pop it in and listen to it again. Don't think I've heard it in ages.
I always got annoyed when she was listed as one-hit wonder because this was one of the last songs I heard by her. We loved her in the ‘80s.
That voice and those eyes... I think we all fell in love with her at the time.
Her voice was perfect for this. Prince wrote this.
He also performed it.
@@1body1year Yes I know.
I did not know that!! I always loved this song!!
Did you even watch the reaction video? He KNOWS Prince wrote it, he mentions it about 5 times.
@@jedislap8726 Yes I watched it and????
It’s so heart wrenching to watch these reactions now that she’s gone. I was a little girl when this song came out. 😢❤
It wasn’t a cover prince wrote song gave to sinead to record
Tom Jones sung Prince's KISS &he dose a fabulous version 💚💙💜💛
Her version of Elton Johns song ‘Sacrifice’ is mind blowing......!
Beautiful isn't she, and she can sing like an angel! Sinade had a very tragic childhood, and I believe she suffers from bipolar disorder, breaks my heart.
I agree.
So true. Much of the media attention she had after this songs success was because of bad decisions she made. A little like Kanye West has done in recent years. Very sad.
The tear running down her cheek at the end always gets me.
Rick P
If you what to see a video that’ll make you bawl like a baby then check out Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds “Into My Arms”.
It’s the most touching & moving video I’ve ever seen.
th-cam.com/video/LnHoqHscTKE/w-d-xo.html
Brenda, I went and saw her in concert after this album came out. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. She has an incredible voice and she blew me away.
Tears of heartbreak for a women who was so amazing. Rest in peace Sinead with your beautiful son.
🙏⚘💜⚘🙏
She was rejected for tearing up a picture of the Pope on live television. She wasn't wrong about the Catholic church
She was not.at all
For the record, Sinead's version is the definitive version. Period.
The history of the track though is years before her version. Prince wrote it for one of his side-projects in 1984. "The Family" recorded it in 1985 and it was on their album of that name and that year. Prince's manager at that time became Sinead's manager a few years later and that's how the song came to her attention. It wasn't offered by Prince nor by The Family. Prince seemingly wasn't super happy with her covering a song of his - as he refused permission for all covers of his songs if the artists were to ask him.
Once it became a worldwide smash hit, Prince began to introduce it to his live sets, where it stayed for the next 25 years - being played at most gigs and even in his final piano-only gig. He released a live version as part of a hits compilation in 1993 that became HIS definitive version - a duet with the great Rosie Gaines.
I hear the songs as two different beasts as the arrangements between Sinead's and his live versions are so different.
However, the final twist is that his original demo was released after his death. And there is a closer arrangement to the Sinead version on there. I think his demo with saxophone by the masterful Eric Leeds is - to my ear - a more poignant version than Sinead's.
I attended a Prince concert where he said of this song, in a pointed way, "this is how it should be sung". I love Prince but I thought "no way man, Sinead's version is the ultimate and trying to put it down just makes you look bad."
I just listened to Prince's demo version of this song and I really like it. Then I listened to the live show version with Rosie and I dislike it so much I could not listen to the full song.
Her version has always been my favorite.
I’ve always thought this is such a haunting and beautiful song sung by a hauntingly woman. And I may be wrong but I didn’t think this is a cover song. I always thought Prince wrote it for Sinnaed.
It first appeared on an album for one of Prince's side projects in 1985. The band was called The Family.
He didn't. He was pretty pissed the the record label let her do it. I have to tell you...I am glad she did...
Read her story
Prince WROTE this song for her. He didn’t sing This. She’s the original! She’s not doing a cover.
She and Prince DID NOT GET ALONG- either. She may not have written this song, but she bled out every word of it
Actually Prince recorded it 5 years before Sinead. Her rendition is the best though. Her performance of it at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards was incredible.
Prince did NOT write this song for her. He wrote it for his side project band The Family who released it on their debut album in 1985. & he had already recorded it in 1984. Sinead is doing a cover.
@@drakocarrion oh
@@joeg3741 she did an awesome job. I can still listen to it today. Ya know how some songs you just get so tired of em? This one I never have.
Check out the live version of Troy at the Pinkpop Festival, and Black Boys on Mopeds. Jerusalem as well.
This is the best version of this song ever. It is like Prince wrote it with her in mind
Breaks my heart everytime - such a beautifully poignant and powerful cover - breathtaking
Wait til you hear her version of Dont Cry For Me Argentina! 😍
I Love SINEAD 🎤🎵🎶💜🕊️💜
She made this song have a “timeless” appeal. Love her vocals!
She had lost her beloved mother before she recorded this incredible song. That was a very large contribution to the emotional impact everyone feels when listening to this.
Little known fact: Sinead and Natalie Portman are the same person!! Think about it, has anyone ever seen both of them together at the same time?? 🤔🤔This "Natalie Portman" person is skilled actress, Harvard grad, and a world class beauty that doesn't seem to age. She looks the same as when I first saw her 20+ years ago. So would you be surprised if she is also a great singer with one of the biggest hits of the 90s?? Maybe Sinead created this "Natalie Portman" in order to work without having that whole Pope controversy following her forever; and since she couldn't sing because everyone knows the sound of her voice, she became an actress. Then "coincidentally", a couple years after this song, Sinead fades from the public spotlight and "Natalie Portman" becomes famous. Just enough time for Sinead to study acting.....🤷♂️😆😆
She was really crying because she was thinking about her Mother who had died in an accident ;(
Grumpy Bumme yes that is right
And thirty years later I'm crying bc it makes me think of my huzbing who died 4 years ago. Sometimes you think you've gone past the difficult stuff and it runs up out of nowhere and gibbslaps the fuck outta you. Heh.
Just a little info: Her name is pronounced -- shin ADE.
Yeah Shin Aid , beautiful name 😍
@@conoconnell5051 Irish names are notoriously difficult to pronounce unless you know. Easier ones are Siobhan (shivawn), Sean (who doesn't know that one?) Sian (Sharn). Saoirse (sirsha). Domhnall (do-nal)Orlaith (Orla). Niamh (neev).If you're not Irish you can look it up easily enough these days.
Like Kool Aide
At that particular time in Newcastle we just called her Skinhead O’Connor
😜
Sinead O'Connor made 10 albums. Plenty of gold to dig for.
This woman has some incredible talent. Prince wrote this song for her. She took it and gave it thr magic it deserved. For anyone thinking this is a cover version.....what the hell are you listening to???? I don't EVER EVER want to know who is trying to beat this version.... the original version.....it'll never be beaten. Sinead, thank you.
Prince, thank you.

Don't thank Prince. He tried beat her up on their one and only meeting. Her words not mine
She has a lot of great songs. 'Troy' is stunning. Her cover of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song, 'Sacrifice' probably hasn't been heard very often.
Very haunting version
Oooh, I've just commented about Troy. An astounding piece.
Was that off of the “Two Rooms” album? What an album!
She sure does. Mandinka. A want your (hands on me), really the whole Lion and Cobra album is genius
The Faith and Courage album is pretty phenomenal also.
As a woman, I can relate to a beautiful woman's voice as singing how I feel. Very relatable. ❣️
It really does make you want to find the guy that broke her heart ....
Prince wrote it, but she made it famous!!💕
Keep up the good work young man, you’re doin’ good 👍
Have a listen to Chris Cornell's version live and acoustic, he does it justice, so good..
TRUTH. His version is also incredible!
Indeed. May he RIP
I think most people would agree, Sinéad did the best version of this song, not to mention she did this video all in one take
One hit wonder? LOL. Woman has loads of songs and hits to her name.
She was perfect for this song, its so beautiful
Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton.
And yes that is a euphemism.
Also written by Prince.
Love her so much. Her first two albums are among my favorite albums ever.
💥"Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?"💔🤦😭
Great reaction. Just to let you know, though, the "S" in her name is pronounced "Sh". It's one of those weird Irish pronunciations.
Yep, shin-aid
Not weird. We have a bit left of the same thing in English, like the c in case, action and octagon is hard because it's beside a broad vowel, and soft beside many slender vowels (ice) Irish and Gaelic consonants can change depending on broad or slender vowels beside them. Beside an e or i an S is pretty much always a sh sound.
She did an awesome job with this song. A closeup like that does not blink. Those eyes just mess me up. Love it.
Say what you will about her later life, but she was made for this song. Absolutely crushes it.
Have a listen to "The Jam" either "Down in the Tube Station" or "Thats Entertainment" for abit of life in the UK 80s
This song for me thru the 80s. Your reactions are getting me thru the rest of my life. Thanks for your pure joy and appreciation of all things musical. Your humour is not too bad either😂
I'm a huge Prince fan. Sinead O'Connor not so much.
But her version of this is the definitive version.
Prince wrote and did a demo of this and gave it to one of his stable of bands, The Family, but barely anyone heard it until Sinead covered it.
He didn't do a proper recording of this until after Sinead had popularised it.
Thank you! For that reason I hate when people say Sinead was doing a fiver version. Nope. Yes Prince wrote it, but any version after hers was a cover.
He had done a proper recording in 1984, but it wasn't released until 2018: th-cam.com/video/cpGA0azFdCs/w-d-xo.html
@@Pulsar77 This is clearly a studio demo. It's not properly mixed or produced. The version that The Family issued in 1985 uses the arrangement in Prince's demo. Three years after Sinéad's version was a success he included a live version on Hits 2, and that sounded more like Sinéad's version than his demo.
@@mikeoliver5642 I still have the Family's album. THAT is the"original" release of this song, the one sung by St. Paul Peterson himself!
listen to the version on his version on his hits album. it's a duet with rosie gaines, and sinead o'connor can't hold a candle.
Don't even bother looking for the Prince performance, Sinead's is far better. Just an exquisite voice.
This is actually the definitive version, in my opinion, seeing as the Prince song wasn't a hit and most people came to know the song from this version. It's kind of like how Bob Dylan wrote and recorded the song, All Along the Watchtower, but it became a big hit for Jimi Hendrix. Bob even said that the song was no longer really his anymore, that it had become Jimi's song, because everyone knows his version, not Bob's. Great song!
It's pronounced Shinade, J. It's an Irish name, and she's a beautiful Irish lady 💙✊
It's really about the death of her mother. She was abused by her. Sinead died recently - suicide she was grieving the death of her 17yr old son who hanged himself. An iconic talent lost to the world.
