Sinead O'Connor - Nothin' Compares To You (1990) [Best Cover Songs] *DayOne Reacts*

[@marionboucher3155]

one of the greatest song performance ever .god bless her.

[@richardvincelette9741]

The world collectively stopped when this song came out. Everyone was blown away ❤

[@hepwo91222]

@That's Not Funny,That's Sick yeah, after that, it pretty much ended her popularity

[@vaskylark]

True. I was...but then she went on SNL which I also saw and her career was finished in the USA. From the top to the bottom of the scrap heap in one day.

[@Brandi6666]

I believe last i heard she was living poor in north jersey. Her life is 💩now

[@Starlesslight]

No offense, but it wasn't that good. I certainly didn't think twice about it when it came out. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it was just a drop in the ocean of the amazing songs of the 80's.

I'm still not over it. I feel her absence everyday.

[@gabrielleferris952]

RIP... Sinead

[@robbiecarroll5491]

I am 54 male and still cry everytime I hear this, it might be Prince song but Sinead owns it. The rawness the emotion cannot be duplicated ✌️❤️

[@OtherSideOfMorning]

Make sure to listen to "Madinka" by her. Great song.. And obviously "troy". Personally think both songs are better than this one

[@HH-jg4ju]

I have to agree I was in love with her omg this song brings back good vibes

[@eileenpizarro1558]

Prince wrote the song. Sinead did a decent version but St. Paul Peterson who originally sings it on The Family album “owns it.”

[@robbiecarroll5491]

That's your opinion, but like so many on here no one can duplicate the emotion that Sinead delivers her soul and hurt is pretty much shown in the clip

[@randyrandall8274]

Sinead's keening takes this song to its full potential

[@brentwebster6164]

This is one of the top ten best covers of all time in my book. The song is hers ever after. She completely owns it.

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

She made the song hers but she doesn't own it it belongs to Prince that's not get crazy now let's not get crazy

[@brentwebster6164]

@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Obviously, I did not mean she has legal ownership of the song. I meant it’s “hers” in a metaphorical sense.

[@killerkennyas]

Listen to Chris Cornell doing this live on a radio station is the best version to me

[@davelister2961]

I love this cover ... but I still prefer Prince's version with Rosie Gaines.

[@IAmGRX]

She totally kill it. But to be honest, I feel like Chris Cornell's version is just as good if not better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6a4dYWLbpJ7iM0

[@uweschmitz]

Prince wrote so many amazing Songs... and this interpretation from Sinead was just so awesome - I can still listen to it and break out in tears.

[@loadedorygun]

I only tear up when watching not listening. Still beautiful but seeing her go through 100 emotions on the same face is so moving.

[@tonyporenshenko425]

Prince was amazing

[@uweschmitz]

@@benpotaka5893 Yeah right... from The Bangles - he wrote this Song unter one of his pseudonym/pen name „Christopher“. 👍

[@TripLikeIDo86]

prince was highly underrated and misunderstood. people saw him as just prince the pop star and sex symbol but nobody really saw the absolute brilliance of the artist. his song writing is on another planet and also a very underrated guitarist.

[@tomski120]

I'm pretty sure the tears came as she was thinking about her mother

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

The tears in her eyes in the final shot always get to me.😢

[@neilsimon467]

Prince actually called her after he first heard it, from then on he considered it her song.

[@angelathomas83]

Correct!!!

[@A.Borowski]

I am 52 years old, a man with a beard. I shed tears every time I listen to this song.

[@jennifertierney9076]

[@mvdh877]

rest in peace Sinead 😢😢😢nothing will compare to you

[@TRaceR743]

She is in hell now with her prophet mohammed

[@drewg5637]

Her version is the best, hands down. Her emotion during the song is what sets it apart from the others who sing it. If you watch closely towards the end, you'll see a tear roll down her cheek and gives the audience a feeling of what she wants you to feel.

[@ca9968]

I dunno...Chris Cornell doing it unplugged is something else all together...

[@Dirtcake71]

I don't want to agree with you, but I have no choice but to agree with you. She took the song to a level that the original simply can't match. It's not like Me'lisa Morgan covering "Do Me Baby" or Chaka covering "I Feel for You," this was on a different level.

[@77Creation]

@@ca9968Meh…

[@junebug1553]

Hits you like a dagger. Good way to describe this song. I cry each and every time I view it. The world lost such a deep thinker.

[@gill8779]

Her voice is ethereal. Another great reaction.

[@sealdrup]

She emoted so much with her eyes and of course her voice, and focusing on her face was perfect!

Rest in Peace sweet Sinead. This song is timeless, Sinead was always raw and true. She was loved by many and will be missed forever.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

RIP. She left us with wonderful music.

[@danjoda755]

To me, this is the signature version of this song. Sinead did another remarkable performance when she performed the song "Mother" with Pink Floyd in Berlin. Poor Sinead only seems whole and centered when she's performing. Angela, thank you for another lovely reaction, you're honest and articulate, and greatly appreciated and respected. 😇🤓🌹🕊️

[@mediascribble]

Sinead must have been difficult like a pure Irish warrior. I can't fathom her not getting the help she needed. The world failed her.

[@Anonlb]

You feel the emotion she's putting into the song. Beautiful voice

[@elenapatrick8116]

She makes you feel it

[@EricaFiore]

You cry girl, your not the only one Sinead brought tears too. Listening to this beautifully soulfully rendition is one of life's moments you can not miss. ❤❤❤❤❤❤💓💓

[@Goneinthehead]

The fact she cried was about her mother who she was abused by for years and yet she loved her forever. This was shot by the director in one go and this video was the most real video by any artist ever.

[@neverwise]

I was 7 when this came out, and I remember being utterly entranced with this video. I'm 41 years old now and I still go to another realm when this is on.

[@deadjester]

Sinead passed away today. Her son died last year, and she spent the last year grieving. I think her heart finally broke completely.

[@angelathomas83]

So very sorrowful….

[@loushark6722]

Prince wrote this song about a lost love, but Sínéad sang this about Mother hunger. Sinéad's mother was emotionally disturbed and abused Sínéad but Sínéad always longed for her mother's approval and acceptance. Sadly it never came but Sínéad was an amazing mother to her own 4 children.

[@davidclarke1973]

Welcome to our world. Some of us have listened to and loved this song for 32 years 🙂

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

I love your soul. I love her soul.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

I read that Sinead's mother had died shortly before she recorded this song and that's what she thought about to get so much emotion in her voice and expression.

[@christinerobinson9372]

True.

[@nanook8721]

I believe she and her mother had had a pretty tumultuous relationship, and we're just starting to get back together, when her mother was killed in a car accident. It's when she starts to sing about the flowers that her mother planted that you can see her truly tear up. Prince wrote this song, but it belongs to Sinead ❤️

[@oscarwilde6649]

"The primary cause of the world's problems is child abuse". - Sinead O'Connor❤

[@neilfoden1411]

when she made the vid, her mother had died 2 weeks before and it just made her cry when she was singing, and they left it in.

[@circlewindranch]

Sinead said in one of her interviews that she was thinking of her mom she lost when that tear happened. It wasn’t planned, that’s how deep she travels within the song. ❤

[@chrisalldis3375]

Sinead's vocal range is extraordinary, she shaved her hair, because record companies at the time were only interested in "bubble gum" songs sung by mime singers. Great reaction Angela

[@1974dormouse]

That’s not accurate. She has talked about her hair in interviews and said it has to do with her mother

[@undie3x7]

​@1974dormouse that's not why either. It's because the record companies wanted to make her a sex symbol and the sexual harassment that was very prevalent in the music industry. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJipl6emYpqKf80

[@LayDownSisalgs]

The line that gets me every time is about the flowers in the back yard dying when you went away. If you're still in need of a good cry, find Beeswing by Richard Thompson.

[@ryanfeit1420]

This is not only one of the best songs of the 90's but one of the best songs of all time. Period. The video is also absolutely beautiful. This song was number one for five weeks in the spring of 1990. I didn't even know this was a cover song. Thank you Angela for your heartfelt reaction.

[@paulopinheirosc]

Not only does her outstanding voice cause us emotion. The haunting keyboard pads and the drums reverberate... all that is pure loneliness. It's a masterpiece as a record at all.

[@davids5336]

I just listened to the original, and it doesn't compare at all to this heartbreaking, profoundly emotionally wounding version that Sinead sings! There are really no words to describe or convey her version!

[@pammymusic4ever]

Music/vocals/lyrics should bring the listener to the heights of joy, and to your knees with pain. Art has that ability and this song and performer IS art at its finest. It brings tears to me too. RIP Sinead. Godspeed ❤

Prince wrote this song in 1984. Sinead O’Connor did this cover version in 1990. It went to no.1 in the UK charts and no.1 in 17 other countries. She tweaked the script slightly to make it a female version. The part she had tears in (All the flowers that you planted, Mama, in the backyard….) was when she was thinking about her mum in that moment, who died in a car crash in 1985. Three weeks before that accident, Sinead wanted to forgive her Mum for all the abuse she gave her. She had a very difficult life with her mum, and wanted to forgive her, but it was too late. All the other lyrics in this song (written by Prince) wasn’t about her life. She chose this song because she loved it herself.
