Roisin Waters - Sinéad O’Connor's daughter sings "Nothing Compares 2U"

[@robertdougherty5455]

There is a simple saying that is ‘ we live on in our children” I think this is a perfect example of that,bless you Rosin and may your God watch over you.

[@leighterry943]

That is so beautifully said! Bless u, dear one! 💖🥰🙏🕊️💫✨

[@denisemottley22705]

What a beautiful comment. I was just thinking her mum is still here within her daughter as I listened and watched. Indeed that saying is so true in this instance. 🙏🏼👍❤️

[@marlarmathis4819]

This gave me chill bumps so beautifully done I could hear her mother coming out through her 🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶 and her singing herself what an amazing gift she is 💐🤍🖤for ever a fan of her mom and now her too 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

God Bless You Roisin! You did a beautiful job singing this song and tribute to your Mom!♥️❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️♥️💕💕💕🌈🌈💯💯💯♥️❤️

[@susanray7181]

Roisin is as brave as Sinead! And that’s the highest compliment I can give anyone. It’s hard to sing in front of others, but to do it in Carnegie Hall, as a tribute to your mother, who was a world class singer, had to be frightening. And I’m sure Roisin was nervous. But she did it anyway. That’s real bravery. Like a Lion. Like Sinead. And she was up to the task too. Beautiful singing. Roisin, if you see this…please consider recording the last few songs of the record your mom was working on and releasing it. It would be a treasure to have new music from you and your mom.

Rosin the heartache of growing up a daughter of a mum with mental health issues is like living with grief all your life until the day she’s lost forever o know this pain those words suddenly become so powerful to you as her daughter it’s so hard to seperate the woman and the disease but the battle they fight is real and our love remains ❤

[@hawkeye9793]

[@aamaalsafa5000]

Sinead found her peace her state of mind is who she was she wouldn't have changed a single thing

[@paula622]

@sueyearbury6215 what are you talking about, referring to her mother as having a mental health disease?disease? her mother had complex post traumatic stress, caused by her own mother throughout childhood, cause and effect Not a mental illness not a disease! try educating yourself about trauma impact and how c-ptsd was not even recognised by the NHS until 2018, therefore no effective treatment for those left with unhealed severe childhood trauma symptoms....your ignorance is loud

[@kimberlysmith9689]

That was gutsy to perform that song. I have every note, every in-fluctuation of Sinead’s voice singing it, memorized. It is an iconic song, that meant a great deal to me many, many years ago. I have sang it right a long with her Mama’s CD, as a vocalist myself, I memorized every vocal inflection. This is a different version but your voice is very similar to your Mamas. She would be oh so proud of you singing her precious song. Thank you for sharing.

[@mmmariiia]

Brave and beautiful singing. Well done Róisín. This is more of what the world needs. May your gorgeous mother Sinéad fly high with the heavenly angels. I think of her every time I pass Deansgrange cemetery. Beautiful, intelligent, inspiring woman.

When she sings 🎵 all the flowers that you planted, mama, all died when you went away 🎵 I think the meaning is totally different than when sinead sang it! Breaking generational trauma.

[@kizakas]

Nada e ninguem se compara a Sinéad O'Connor , o fenômeno, cantora cantava com a alma, coração e com a emoção de sua história SINÉAD O'CONNOR amava seus filhos,e usando do seu DNA , essa parte da música é comovente por lembrar muito SINÉAD, o seu amor com a complexa relação com sua mãe. O amor de roisin por sua mães SINÉAD não atingiu a potência da emoção.

Roisin took my breath away, the same as her beautiful & beloved Momma did, when I fist heard this hauntingly beautiful song that just swept up your soul, in the emotion that Sinead so gently, beautifully, & poignantly conveyed! Her raw, meaningful, sincere, & deep felt emotion was visceral, & I was swept away in the sorrow of her beautiful voice & the weeping of the instruments! From the first day, I heard it, I ran to the record store and bought Sinead O'Connor's beautiful album, and I listened to it, endlessly, especially that song! It was the Summer of 1990, in the Americas, and I was headed to Dublin, to study for the summer, at University College, Dublin, and I had wished that I would run into Sinead O'Connor! I stayed with, Joan & Tony Waters, no kidding, & they were so proud to call Sinead their own, & they were in their mid to late 60s, but they knew the song, well, and dear Joan said her name, in Gaelic, was Sinead, and she was so proud of that! It was just so amazing to be walking around the streets of Dublin, thinking this is where Sinead Iives! I adored her, & I was devastated over her years of suffering, the tragic loss of her dear son, Shane, & her untimely & tragic passing! Ireland has become my second home, & The Waters will forever be my Irish family, but it will never be the same without the beautiful Sinead O'Connor, nor will this world ever be the same, but her beautiful daughter will certainly help Sinead live on through her beautiful voice, and this was an astoundingly glorious tribute to her Mum, & I'm sure she must be smiling down from heaven! Love & blessings 2 you, dear Roisin & your entire family! 🌟🥰☘️🍀💛🎁✨🕊️💫💖🙏🦋

[@DoctorT2010]

Gorgeous. This is the famous Róisín who in her earliest years inspired her father, John Waters, to write so passionately (and with immense justice on his side) about the absence of fathers' rights to parent their children all those years ago in The Irish Times. What a lone voice he was then, and how little has changed for Irish fathers since. How the years fly.
