CHRIS CORNELL - NOTHING COMPARES 2 U *First Time Reaction*

[@dmitriponomarev8002]

Prince wrote it, Sinead sang it and Chris owned it.

[@Harbringe]

Sorry Sinead clearly owns this song... mind you Chris does an excellent job.

[@dmitriponomarev8002]

@@Harbringe Your opinion is your own mind you. Chris is famous for his voice and will always be remembered that way. Sinead is remembered for her hair style.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Dmitri Ponomarev The other Chris does an amazing rendition to on stage that’s Chris Stapleton check out his cover

[@dmitriponomarev8002]

@@georgeibrahim7945 That was great! I really enjoyed his rendition! Thx!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Dmitri Ponomarev no worries glad you did. Chris Stapleton is awesome he’s a country singer but unique got that blusey soulful voice.

[@ZataMachi]

Chris Cornell. None will ever compare

[@rolfleoangst3888]

Wonderful just wonderful.... Prince did compose it. Seanad did perform it nicely as well!!

[@rullmourn1142]

TY. Chris suffered with depression, on and off, for his whole life...RIP.

[@sandyleewhite]

Written by the late great Prince ❤ Made famous by Sinead O'Connor ❤❤ Hearts & Souls touched by Chris Cornell ❤❤❤ RIP Chris Cornell, Sinead O'Connor & Prince, you are all sadly missed ❤❤❤❤

[@paulfadeley3496]

Thank you!!!! And Godspeed Chris i hope you are at peace now!!!!

[@justincowan7486]

I saw other people mention that this was a cover. This version was made as a tribute to Prince when he died. I would never in a million years have thought that Chris Cornell would commit suicide only a short time later. It was devastating. He was such a powerful musical influence growing up. Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and his solo work were always in the musical rotation in my youth. He inspired so many musicians in his life to make wonderful music. Your reaction made my eyes water up too. Always a pleasure to have these experiences with you.

[@BDHuson]

I still can't believe we won't get to see any new songs or covers from him. He was a huge musical influence for me growing up as well. My dad introduced me to Soundgarden and TEmple of the Dog and that was it, I was hooked.

[@justincowan7486]

@@BDHuson I used to think about how these musicians were more than human when I was growing up. I never imagined a world without Chris Cornell, Prince, Michael Jackson, Tom Petty, Lemmy, Bowie... These musicians were all staples of my youth. As I've gotten older and seen them all pass away, I just realize that no person of any fame or fortune can avoid death. Their music will however remain as their legacy. And covers will continue to pay tribute over the years.

[@USMC-dm3ws]

@@justincowan7486 Nailed it but I'd like to throw 1 more name in the ring, at least for me and my high school days and being a beach bum... The late great Bradley Nowell! Sublime as well as all names above are still on my heavy rotation playlist and most have been since 91-94ish!

[@Hypobolic415]

Unfortunately/fortunately? He must have been in a lot of pain during this performance; probably generating the honesty of his delivery. I have to take it as his swan song for taking his life only a few weeks later.

[@macid5599]

This song was not made as a tribute to Prince. If you watch the full show he said that they were singing it because he heard Prince say that he hates when people cover his songs. That is why you hear everyone laughing when this song begins. He begins talking about Prince around the 54 minute mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g17RdYqYhKegkKc

[@ChenzoSG]

Prince wrote for everyone. Chris does a touching tribute.

[@USMC-dm3ws]

Prince was a poetic, lyrical, musical genius...To put a name on a small portion of his brilliance!. Sadly enough this came with some of the demons that many like him (Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Robin williams....). Prince was/is a true legend and I hope one day I’ll meet him at the great party in the sky, may he REST IN PEACE!

[@el34glo59]

Chris absolutely mastered this song. Imo this is the definitive version. Prince was a musical genius. Chris was something else tho.

[@brianvigneau2074]

Here's a little fun fact. Prince is responsible for Chris Cornell's suicide. Because this song blew up bigger than any song he ever wrote before. And it was just a cover. And he was singing a concert One Night in Minneapolis and everybody was screaming for him to play Nothing compares to you. And an hour later he killed himself. Coincidence or fact? So either Prince is responsible for Chris Cornell's death or the crowd at the Minneapolis is. Either way it's purple

[@brianvigneau2074]

Chris is like dude! I've been in the business for 20 years and it took a Prince song to make me famous?. Forget about it...I think I'll just hang myself

[@brianvigneau2074]

Suicide isn't funny until you've tried it

[@nickdamas2164]

The best voice of all time!!!

[@jespna]

Nothing compares to you. Live with it.

[@GluteusMaximus21]

Depression sucks. To this day I still think about ending it. Chris was a very talented guy who left way too soon but his music will live on. Play it in heaven

[@indicasativa8542]

Chris Cornel made this grown man cry with this song. Hauntingly beautiful. Nothing compares to Chris😢

[@JesseJames7-8-9]

You cannot help but get emotional hearing Chris. RIP to an absolute legend. We miss you ❤

[@briancrawford69]

One of the greatest singers ever

[@devinluoto873]

I cry everytime I watch this performance...

[@Blutszauger]

Ahhh, Chris got you. Thanks for giving this a watch, Empress.

[@jamesburns8827]

Chris always gets you.!!! He can get anyone.. The right song will get anyone, no one is safe from it!!!! If your looking, he'll make your eyes melt. Audioslave -Exploder, will make your head explode.

Always 🙏

⚜️ RIP Chris Cornell, I still listen to him every single day. 💔

[@jadeipissedoffnow]

So do I.

[@pushitlpvo]

My favorite singer. I cried for weeks

[@coldgame2000]

It's ok baby, let them tears flow. That man has a way to grab your soul with his voice.

[@eli1030]

After listening to Chris for 30 years, seeing him live multiple times...I always cry listening to songs like this now..

[@lisajohnson521]

Ha. Same,

[@rogeryanez8107]

I met Chris a while back in Seattle and this guy was such a humble talented guy with such a powerful voice, miss you Chris.

[@aspjake123]

I wish I could have met Chris. RIP

[@dfbovey]

His cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean is even more amazing.

[@rrobles44]

Or “You never knew my mind” - Johnny Cash cover

[@Lee4364]

Chris can make you feel some kind of way about this song.

[@rabidDAWGfan82]

My favorite artist ever. This man sings to your soul.

[@MMARCOPPICASSO]

Sad song but hits like a sledgehammer. His voice haunts my sole, finds the sadness

[@lisajohnson521]

Chris has had that effect on everyone who has the privilege of hearing his beautiful voice. He was know as " THE VOICE" by his peers. Not too many voices that capture a person like his does. He is so missed.

[@potooleftl]

This striped down, raw, real. This is music. Such garbage out there anymore. This is pure musical magic.

[@JVLIMAMEDVET]

Pls, I would like to see another song with Chris, Temple of the Dog - Say Hello 2 Heaven (jesus christ that guy sang so so so much)

[@tomgrant29]

Hard to pick my favourite, but this is a top tier level Cornell banger :)

[@trendkill196]

I was in Vegas when he died. Got say hello to heaven tattooed on my arm. Yeah, I was drunk. Don't regret it

[@tomgrant29]

@@trendkill196 I was working in a kitchen at one of the busiest restaurants in the UK. We smashed out Cornell songs all day. It was great :) :) :)

[@bsmith8943]

Chris passing really got to me. I graduated in 91 so I grew up with him and Eddie Vedder. Chris's voice was unbelievable,, could go from as smooth as this song to strip the paint off metal rock star.

[@jindas4217]

UGH 😩😩 R.I.P. Chris!!! 😭

[@pamagnolia]

Your beautiful, emotional reaction touched me Empress. 😔🌹

[@pamagnolia]

His voice takes everyone’s breath away. Goosebumps from the intro on! Love this performance. Thanks Empress. 😊💐

[@RxDoc2010]

He did a version with his daughter too. His voice was insane. After Chester Bennington died, Chris’s daughter did a version of Hallelujah with one republic that gives me chills. Her eyes are so haunted. So much talent and so much pain in those two. RIP Chris and Chester.

[@kathyorr3248]

You gave the most honest, raw, emotionally invested reaction to this man and 1 song he totally took control of......that I've seen. Besides myself. Thank you ....and that's what makes you special.

[@brianfisher6165]

He was brilliant!!! 👍RIP Chris!!!😢 With Audioslave and Sound Garden you have a lot of greatness to discover, enjoy!!!✌😎

[@newgrl]

And Temple of the Dog. He and Eddie Vedder singing together is just... beautiful.

[@Uriel77200]

People with big hearts and open minds pick up emotions and feeling imprints than most. He did a great job of making you feel his heart ache for his missed lover. Good reaction.

[@thelalitresortandspabekal9162]

Chris' music transcended all boundaries...grew up in India listening to Soundgarden, Alice In Chains , Pearl Jam , STP... cried my heart out when I heard the tragic news, it was as if a part of my childhood had been taken away..RIP Genius...we were privileged to have heard you sing.
