You should read comments before you look like a fool, everybody but you knows Prince wrote this song and she sang it!!!!

[@setonhillstudios]

@@williampearce3869 Not really concerned about not knowing who wrote or sung it. My ego can handle it! 😁✌🏻

[@bringmechoc]

@@williampearce3869 How rude. How can he read comments before he has posted the video?

[@stevenewcomer8837]

@@williampearce3869 keep doing what you’re doing. I hate when a reaction channel says that it’s a “First time reaction.”, then reads the lyrics and all about the band/song in the “reaction video” RIGHT BEFORE listening to it. That ruins the entire point of a TRUE “First Reaction”!

[@steve2070]

@@setonhillstudios for sure, Prince talked about this song like Trent Reznor did about Johnny Cash singing hurt. It was no longer their song the covers made it their own.

[@kittenklub1964]

I'm Irish - Sinéad was a master of 'Keening' ☘it stretches deep into our cultural heritage; it stems from loss/funerals/grieving We are still mourning our beautiful Daughter Sinéad💔She was a force of nature with unmatched talent, but she was also very fragile. The video was shot in one take and those tears are REAL - her mother had just recently died. (Sinéad had a very difficult relationship with her mother.) Please react to her live acapella performance of 'I Am Stretched On Your Grave' - a 17th-century Irish poem that she transformed with just her voice and a James Brown 'beat box' sample; She was keening for our Country & it is pure perfection. The media and music industry cruelly shunned her for speaking THE TRUTH about the catholic abuse of innocent Irish children, including herself & she was eventually proven CORRECT - now an acknowledged fact globally. But the damage was already done to her and her career. I hope they're proud of their relentless victim shaming of a 23 year old girl who was brave enough to speak out. I hope that she's finally at peace with her beloved son, Shane💚"Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam"

This is what happens when two great talents get together. Magic. Both gone too soon. RIP Sinead RIP Prince.

And RIP Chris Cornell kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6a4dYWLbpJ7iM0&ab_channel=SiriusXM

[@daphnethurlow5388]

Yes sad

[@snapdragon8888]

I've never seen you so totally blown away. I love how her voice gets a sharp edge once in a while and then goes back to soft and vulnerable. And can we just stop for a minute and admire how exquisitely beautiful she is?

[@MoMoMyPup10]

That really is the strength of the video -- her beauty -- expressed in a multitude of ways, and I don't think she ever realized how pretty she truly was

[@Grizzlox]

​@MoMoMyPup10 yes... in a multitude of ways

[@DHall-xz7ke]

Her beauty here reminds me of Audrey Hepburn

[@catherineday951]

Chris Cornell also did a cover of this. Very different, of course, but also excellent.

[@daphnethurlow5388]

Fabulous song and singer

[@matthewrandom4523]

Written by Prince in 1985, Sinéad's version became a No. 1 hit around the globe. What an unforgettable gift!

[@ameyer1970]

Song written by Prince while filming the video, she was thinking about her mother who she recently lost. This the emotion.

[@Redtop-qh8zo]

Unless her mom was a dude, she was just mentioned briefly.

[@thenortherner3890]

The tears were real. Recorded shortly after her mother death When this video was played for the first time in the UK people were stunned.

[@sfcub-Bill]

I'm old enough to see all the great vocalists that are gone now... the songbook of my youth has lost so many great musicians / singers. RIP 🙏 🕯 🎶

No it's not. Peace

The live version is extraordinary.

[@mimska]

Her beautiful face, her powerful voice, the rawness of each word, filled with such heart and sincerity. She was an incredible artist. One of a kind. You are loved and missed Sinead O'Connor 💜

[@bringmechoc]

Such a beautiful song, her voice and emotion really sells it. I loved this back in the day and it’s good to see it still hits now. R.I.P Sinead

[@setonhillstudios]

Shewee! It definitely hits! ❤️

[@jamiemacdonald436]

It may not have been the first take, but the song was recorded in one take, and they double tracked her voice. Beautiful song Beautiful artist

[@christophersmith7041]

Nothing Compares To You was a N01 hit in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and also in 18 other countries worldwide, and was one of the best selling songs of the 90s , it was also named the N01 world single, the song was written by PRINCE, but Sinead owned the song,it was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards,Sinead passed away on the 9th January 2024 aged 56 years old, great song great reaction thanks 🙏

[@pds8475]

She passed away on 26th of July 2023 not the 9th of January this year but she was 56 when she passed away like you say.

[@kitharley6159]

There are only a few singers who ever put such sincerity into their performance, but Ms. O'Connor was definitely among them.

[@jimj.3086]

This song was written and originally recorded by Prince. IMHO Sinead di it much better! Thanks for this. I agree , the way it's shot it's as if she is singing directly to the person watching.

[@erickent3557]

Yeah, your words accurately sum up Sinead's artistry: intense, painful, overwhelming, beautiful.

[@mickem4322]

One of PRINCE biggest Hits..He wrote it.. Awesome Song.. !! RIP Sinead RIP Prince ,,

[@cyu5251]

Written by the late - great - one and only Prince himself ❤❤❤

[@belvagurr403]

When you listen to it again, and you will many times, your heart will feel her pain and passion.

[@r00salie78]

She throw her heart on stage every time she sang. Rest in peace beautiful soul. ❤

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

So, glad to see you react this way. She was an incredible phenomenon. Her voice carried her and so many who took a moment to listen. She was absolutely beautiful, as well. Prince wrote this song & she gave it pure grace. RIP to both of those beautiful wonders.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

I'm so glad for you my friend that you have found this BRILLIANT artist ! Sinead will never be forgotten forever and a day ........ :)

[@kerrythorn8575]

Yes, she truly did things her own way.

Sinead a native of Dublin Ireland left us July 2023 from natural causes including pulmonary disease & asthma. That inflection is classic of Irish singers

Dia dhuit as Éireann ☘️ hello from Ireland. So proud of Sinéad . Check out her Sean nós nua album of old Irish songs . Also her songs Thief of your heart , Troy , No Mans Woman , Haunted By the ghost , so many to mention . Just explore and enjoy the beautiful brave artist she was .

[@richardvincelette9741]

When I first heard this song and video, I was with a bunch of Metal heads! We all stopped talking collectively in stunned silence. ❤

[@mariaclaudiainesconti-ej4ot]

Beautiful. Everything. The voice, the lirics her face...

[@thomasdempsey721]

My favourite Sinead O'Conner album was her first, The Lion And The Cobra.....so many gems "Troy", "Mandinka", "Just Like You Said It Would Be".

[@chrisb8756]

Good, honest, heartfelt reaction. Really enjoyed that!

[@daphnethurlow5388]

You have been so moved by her voice...yes it was pain you heard..she had a lot in her short life. Bless her.

[@Pilutta100]

Our goosebumps when it came out was like yours now. A friend of mine named her son Troy, because of that song from same album.

[@LoisChisholm]

Every time I see this song on a reactor's channel, I have to stop and listen to it again. And I cry every time. Gets me in the feels, too.

[@setonhillstudios]

Such a beautiful and emotional song! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! ❤️

[@davidpena9513]

First time?!? LOL!! Hey let’s listen to this guy who’s been living under a rock for the last 30 years!!

[@setonhillstudios]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HelenKubon]

did you notice she actually had a tear falling down her cheek at 7:17ish. Was singing of her mother. Wonderful reaction. Thank you.

[@sarahlynnie2000]

From what I understood, Prince wrote this song about his housekeeper, whom he had a lot of respect for, but she had to leave. Sinead heard this song, and dedicated it to her mom, who was abusive towards her.

[@brewstergallery]

She was great ! You must see Troy, for me her best song. RIP Sinead.

[@djm0111]

This is from her second album and really made her an international superstar (which she really couldn't handle). Her first album emerged on college radio in the late 80s. There are some amazing vocal performances on both albums. Try Troy from the first (The Lion and the Cobra).

[@taniaPBear]

I don't know which was more beautiful and expressive, her voice or her eyes, but together they created one of the most moving experiences in music history. RIP beautiful lady✌❤

[@RayDavies-zv5ic]

As someone else has commented, the live version of this is extraordinary. Well that is quite an understatement.

[@HelenKubon]

and yes, I watched your reaction again forgetting I already commented but I enjoy your reactions so will probably do it a few more times. :)

[@setonhillstudios]

You’re too kind! So glad you are enjoying the channel! ❤️

[@HelenKubon]

I remember having this cassette cranked up in my car back in the late 80's, Iove that it is being rediscovered now. Thank you for reacting to this. She was a force.

[@timoiiskola7676]

Such a haunting song. The dynamics in her voice are just so beautiful. The way the video is shot just amplifies all The Feels. Even the 80s sometimes got things right?

[@stillracer2514]

[@setonhillstudios]

Such an incredible and emotional song and performance! ❤️

[@DanaStout72]

I'm going to sound old (I am), but today's musicians should be forced to watched this to learn how to put emotion into their music. This is how it's done.

[@Macdelaven]

As mentioned, Prince wrote this song but Sinead wrote most of her own material. She is Irish and her first album "The Lion and The Cobra" was a real jolt to the new wave music popular at the time. Nice reaction.

[@JudeAussie]

Voice of an angel. So sad when she passed away. 😢💔

[@Jude_196]

OH - the VULNERABILITY in HER VOICE - SO, SO GOOD!!! The video just MULTIPLIES IT!! Thanks for the reaction, Steven!!!

THANK you for the LIKE to the person WHO liked my comment. 👍❤

[@claudettesmith8328]

[@TomBahler-i5p]

You need to check out Chris Cornell’s version live @ SiriusXM.

[@noahcasa7917]

U should check out the live version. This iconic singer they tried to boycott her so she wouldn’t succeed. She had way more talent than a Madonna or a Cher but didn’t follow the ‘rules’. She ripped the popes picture her mother had hanging in their living room on the SNL show. She refused to dress half naked and let her hair grow long. She even fought Prince when she visited him at home when he tried to tell her how to behave on Tv. She ran away from his house in the middle of the night after he tried to abuse her physically. Police found her walking along the highway. So many stories and hardship in life. Mother abusive died young, her son passed away suicide just a 2 years ago before she passed away. Etc may she rest in peace, she found peace I hope in her last years through religion, Islam.

[@susannewitt6112]

Prince meets Sinead R.I.P.

[@bryanCJC2105]

She was a beautiful singer and a courageous woman. She stood up to the Catholic Church and famously tore up a picture of the Pope on SNL in protest for the many abuses done by the Church to her as a child and other children. She got a lot of sh*t for that and her career suffered but she was right!!! as everyone soon found out. She was vindicated but at a high cost to her tragic life. She always saw herself as a protest singer rather than a Pop singer. She died last year. Truth to power Sinead.

[@RockinMamaT]

Let's Gooooo! Such a beautiful song written by Prince and he also does his own version 💜 If I'm not mistaken I think her mom just passed away before she made this. Bonnie Tyler's Total eclipse of the heart is a must my friend. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️

[@mattstagger]

You should listen to her song "Troy". It really encapsulates that visceral emotiveness that you are describing.

[@gsturnerjr]

You got her message, it still hits me too. Very honest reaction, I appreciate you!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! ❤️

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ❤🎶

[@kenneth2875]

This song was written by Prince for his girlfriend Susannah Melvin’s band The Family. So this is a cover version. Now here Prince’s original here kzbin.info/www/bejne/maGqcmOXr6uXedUsi=ZHjIdZyW4CkBIf7S

[@niquette65]

I absolutely love The Family's version!❤

[@beadybaby]

Dude you totally glitched at the end there! ❤❤❤ Love her! Especially her first three albums. When I was in university in the late 80s and early 90s I had a long commute and listened to her stuff a lot ❤ Jewel and The Indigo Girls are two other bands I loved starting in college.

[@Stacy55ish]

Perfection is beauty.

[@skylarkn8701]

Sinead did a beautiful job singing this song. Prince wrote this song and in the early’90’s re-recorded it as a duet with his NPG band mate Rosie Gaines. Prince and Rosie’s version is my favorite and a must listen.

[@boshie2000]

Another Prince classic.

[@leannmiller7153]

Next you must listen to the late, great, Chris Cornell do a live acoustic version. Absolutely soulful❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️

[@dylankerr2411]

This. Prince wrote it, Sinead made it famous, but for me the Chris Cornell version just gets me right in the feels.

[@Grizzlox]

The best break up song ever written

[@philmccarthy8925]

That was the most enjoyable and insightful reaction from you brotha’! Think you felt it, nailed it. I was a kid when she emerged on the scene. An emotional spitfire looking to make her mark and she did. This vid held many captivated, as it did you. Very nicely done.

[@MelodyMan69]

Sinead was told by Marketing People that she needed to 'change' her Colour/ Style of Hair. So She shaved it off and went on to do it alone. RESPECT ❤ 🎶🎶

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Sinead was known for her voice, political activism and unrelenting courage. She called out the Catholic Church long before the pederasty problem was acknowledged, and it cost her. She never broke. They tried to boo her offstage at the Dylan tribute - they sent Kris Kristoferson out to bring her off stage. Instead he whispered some version of "you GOT this!" and she went ahead and performed despite everyone. Soon after Kristoferson released his song "Sister Sinead". And of course - she was right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2XJh6uZiZVjicU It's an incredible watch, don't miss it. I always appreciated Kris Kristoferson, but after this he had my everlasting respect.

[@qajjan8815]

I checked some of your videos and it strikes me how unique you must be to have dodged all these super hits through the years haha. And, also, very blessed to get to experience these songs for the first time. I still remember the first time I heard this song actually, and it stayed with me for the whole day, walking in the autumn rain to and from school.

[@trinityluv8560]

Another great reaction. Sinand is beautiful and put a lot of emotion in this song . However it bares mentioning Prince and Connor didn't get along . Rosie Gaines and Prince do a duet of NC2U . They take it to another level. #peaceandstaywild

[@CardiacCat]

This could apply to many different scenarios. But I can tell you I lost my partner of 37 years to cancer last year, and this song seemed to capture exactly what I was feeling for most of the year after.

[@setonhillstudios]

Wow!! First off, I just want to say I am so terribly sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻 I cannot imaging and thank you for having the courage to stop by and share! Have a blessed day!

[@musicaficionado2974]

So well put: you can feel every word she is singing, it's piercing your heart. On the contrary, majority of today's music feels just like a bunch of noise, no feeling, no meaning, no emotion. And the only thing it's piercing, is my poor eardrums. And don't get me started on the visual aspect of it. Thank you for your beautiful reaction!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it! 😁
