ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS OF THE 90's? Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Reaction)

[@patrickquinlan3056]

Sinead's mother died just before she released this. That is why she was crying and mentioned her Mum. The song was written by Prince but Sinead made it her own. RIP Sinead. Your loss is felt everywhere but especially in Ireland.

Sinead's Mum passed away as the result of a car accident when Sinead was just 18. The tears were for her mum, even though her mum was alleged to have physically abused Sinead as a child. Sinead lived a controversial life and never shied away from her views. Her shaven head was one of her statements. If you dig hard enough on YT you can find a 2022 documentary on her life. An outstanding voice and an amazing sense of humor and justice.

The documentary is also on that huge website that starts with an A and ends with an N (can’t write the word or my comment becomes invisible 🙄). To anyone who’s interested, it’s called “Nothing compares” and it’s really good, I recommend it!

Irish all have crazy temper's, getting smacked around as a kid was a normal thing back in the 70's 80's.

Someone in the music biz told her she should grow her hair longer to become more popular. That was her reaction.

[@andreashofer4442]

You've got the basics right i think, but i hear lots of suffering and complaining in "nothing compares to you", because nothing compares to a mother, so its hardd to compare, vice versa the child is easy to abuse and manipulate. She left her back broken and unready, because the secret why she absued her could never have been lifted "tell me where did i go wrong?", so she always felt guitly for what happened and couldnt get over it, be it with attention of guys or alcohol and drugs. Just my ideas i have, listening to it.

Fun fact, Prince wrote and performed this song in 1985 for a side project but it didn't get much attention and in 1990, Sinead recorded her version of the song and it became a huge hit. And Prince never performed that song live until after she made it a hit as to not take it away from her. And the song went unreleased by prince until 2019, after he passed away. So in essence, that song was and always will be Sineads. Also, I was 16 when she released this song in 1990 and it was all over the place for years.

The Rosie duet was a live version that did make it on a compilation album, 3 years after Sinéad released it and prince never performed it live until after she made it a hit. And I never remember anywhere that prince was mad she covered it because she would have had to gotten permission to cover it or he, and his record label at the time, would have sued, and they never did. Prince wasn't mad about it.

[@cardsdown]

​@@fightingidiocy7724 ..which part is incorrect? ...this seems to be the way I remember it as well. She was on stage after singing Bob Marley's "War" and had ripped or burnt a picture of the pope at the time up while speaking out against the church and the "clerical sex abuse" that they lied about and tried to deny and hide by constantly transferring those repulsive sick "men of god" to new churches. Eventually getting booed off stages everywhere, her life threatened daily, and practically losing her music career. Thankfully the world realized she wasn't lying. She was a genuine PURE soul that bled every emotion she had, embodied LOVE, and had a voice that sang for those who had none. She was a tortured but beautiful soul.

[@cynergy4]

Prince wrote this song, including the "Mama" line, but Sinead's mom had died in a car crash a couple of years earlier, and it struck a sad note for Sinead. Her mom was terribly abusive toward her but sheissed her anyway. Sinead had eyes the seem to see into the soul of a person. May she finally be at peace with her son 🎉

[@JediKryze]

Prince had originally written it, but Sinead had changed some of the words in the lyrics. Prince was unhappy about that. The song is about loss. Sinead intentionally spoke to the lyric “All the flowers you planted mama, in the back yard. Have all died since you went away” due to Sinead having lost her mother and having a regretful relationship with her mother. I believe the song remained in the top spot on charts for 38 weeks. Still maintaining the longest running number one song.

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.

[@gesundheit602]

It occurred to me that Prince likely wrote the song from the perspective of a man, and Sinead changed it when she recorded it. Some men might call their wife or girlfriend “mama” occasionally. Maybe this is what.Prince meant when he wrote it, and Sinead mistook the lyric to mean his mother, so she left it as it was. Either way, it kinda works. 🙂

[@MaddyReactions]

Ahhh, makes sense

[@uncensoredentertainment]

It was shot in Dublin, Ireland.

Most likely filmed at Versaille outside of Paris. When she says "Momma" she's singing about her actual mother, who died when she was young.

[@MaddyReactions]

It was the adaption of Prince's song applied to the ending of a romantic relationship sang soon after the sudden death of her mother with whom she never got along but had hoped to repair daughter mother ties.

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow

[@jennthabombdiggity]

The reason “mama” is mentioned is, as said in other comments, Prince originally wrote it, and it was, of course, about a woman. It was really the only lyric from the original where they didn’t change the word to fit the masculine pronouns. So, basically a term of endearment for whomever Prince was writing about. Sinead, also as stated, associated that lyric with her own mother, so it made her cry. She said, later in life, that when she sang it, she always felt she was close to her mother. She was a stunning woman. Both physically and in spirit. A warrior of a woman that was unafraid to stand up and say what she felt. We lost a Celtic Queen in her. Check out her version of Sacrifice by Elton John. My absolute favorite song she ever did, though they are all worth a listen. Also, Black Boys on Mopeds. RIP Sinead ❤️🕊️

Imagine if there had been a Sinead O'Connor and Dolores O'Riordan collaboration.

[@fidel2xl]

Sinead O'Connor was a one-of-a-kind artist, who refused to be marketed as a sex object. I assume that most commenters already mentioned the meaning of this song (written by Prince)....but what Sinead is most notoriously known for, is while performing on the TV show 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL), she tore up a picture of Pope Jean Paul II as a protest against the Catholic Church. It seemed that she was blacklisted in the entertainment industry after that protest live on TV.

[@NocturneSoul]

Her mother tortured Sinead during her whole childhood. Like literally tortured her. She used to make her lay on the floor and she would walk over her body or talk on the phone while standing over her and spitting her. She also kicked her all the time every day from morning til night. And she also made her sleep outside in a muddy pond during the winter season. And even with all that torture Sinead loved her mother more than anything in the world and was always trying to make her happy. In a recent interview Sinead said "the best thing about my mother is that she's dead, but I can't wait to die to be with her again cos I love her". Another sad thing is that Sinead's son committed suicide a couple years ago.

Sinead O'Connor had a bad relationship with her mom, her mom verbally abused her and beat her, and she said she loved her mom but she was glad she died from all the trauma, pain and scars her mom gave her. Also although Prince wrote the song he was physically abusive towards her and treated her cruelly & badly...he once beat her with a pillow case full of bricks and attacked her...i find odd No one ever wants to mention what she really went through. She also suffered from depression and bipolar disorder and when her only son committed suicide 18 months ago that took her over the edge. In my opinion she died of a Heart💔

Sinead O'Conner is one celebrity i had the utmost respect for. She was a hit singer in the 90s until she in a bitbof protest tore up a picture of the pope on SNL. She lost her Career, She was exiled from most countries in europe, her life was basically over. But when asked just a couple year's ago if she regretted it. She didnt regret it in the slightest. She caved to noone.

@@MaddyReactions yeah, if you look up video of her Singing Bob Marleys "War" on SNL I believe. It was a bit of protest against the Catholic Church.
