Sinéad O'Connor Reaction Nothing Compares 2 U (JUST AMAZING!) | Dereck Reacts

[@apkelly01]

Makes me cry everytime...I've never heard the Prince version but nothing compares to our Sinead O'Connor ❤

[@alexislebienheureux1459]

Damn i cried too... 😂😂👍

[@leslapins7617]

I do cry every time I watch it to. She sings from the bottom of her heart and touches mine. I cry with her everytime I watch this video.

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Watch Mylène Farmer , "Ainsi sois-je ".

[@Irish780]

Prince tried to beat her up the one and only time the met he was high on drugs

[@gregbrogan9061]

She only gets through the first few verses and I already feel my eyes tearing up.

[@GneasYTC]

It's been said that Prince was born to write this song, and Sinéad was born to sing it. Safe home, Sinéad. 💔

[@nickhaswell6011]

R.I.P beautiful sinead what an incredible song this was remember it well like it was yesterday and big part of my memories was played on rotation loop but no one got tired of it, the song shocked the world and had everyone at the palm of her hands incredible and simply stunning song REST IN PEACE YOU WHERE INCREDIBLE

[@junebug1553]

She cries when she sings it. I cry when I listen to it. She represents the troubled soul in all of us.

[@arsenalmanic]

31 yrs ago. How time flies.

[@californiahummus]

This song is extra painful to listen to now after all of the struggles Sinead has had with her mental health. She really knew the torture the lyrics were about.

[@joselin2466]

She suffered at a young age and put it all in her songs and voice.

[@BillGraper]

This song is in my top 3 all-time. I still remember hearing it for the first time. I woke up to it on a school morning in 1990. I was getting close to my high school graduation. Another guy at school asked if I heard it. We both thought it was amazing. I knew it would be a big #1 hit. It didn't disappoint. 4 weeks at #1, which was huge back then!!! Sinead made it her own!!!

[@flaviojosefo7130]

Hahah, good joke

[@thegael791]

Most beautiful song ever written or sang in my opinion. The utter definition of powerful.

[@garryiglesias4074]

She REALLY cried, I mean, it was not planned, she started to cry while acting it for the clip. She's a very sensitive person... And Prince, the original author, was simply a genius.

[@booblys2]

Her mother had just died before she shot this video 😭

[@phoenixfire83]

She also had a very tumultuous relationship with her mother.

[@christinegelabert1651]

@@booblys2 ALSO she'd just gone through a breakup with her longtime partner right before she did this recording

[@leeriches8841]

May she rest in peace. Gone but will never be forgotten.

[@kayew5492]

This was playing on the radio when my Dad was on the phone with the funeral director arranging my Mum's funeral. The line about the flowers in the garden still makes me cry after more than 20 years.

[@sfcub-Bill]

Sinead version is hauntingly beautiful! Her vocals are stunning! She caresses a vocal to bring the emotions of the song!

[@benmcfly496]

Probably one of the most beautiful songs of the 90s

[@SoftKitteh]

As mentioned, the tears were real. The part about "all the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard. All died and went away" made her think of her mother's death in a car accident in 1985. The song is obviously about loss and heartbreak and it makes people cry, she was no exception. Amazing performance. Prince was a genius for writing it, but Sinead's voice brought it to life. Originally she wanted to record the video again because of the tears but she was persuaded to leave it alone.

[@caroleannjackson3969]

She was really crying 😢 love her

[@mirianscott7669]

Can’t hear it without crying

[@loriabrams3048]

I am not the only one who had tears.

[@philrob1978]

It's a beautiful song by Prince, but in SInead's hands, it becomes ethereal. I suspect that Prince was a bit unnecessarily jealous of her. Whenever anyone thinks of this song now, it's Sinead's version. A haunting powerhouse of a ballad. Plus, FINALLY, someone at least recognises the teardrop. That was genuine from Sinead, having recently lost her mother. The UK fell in love with her for that and this was at the No. 1 spot for a good number of weeks back in 1990.

[@Irish780]

Lol he sure was jealous of her he tried beating her up high on drugs on there one and only meeting in USA she speaks about it its on utube

[@greenbelly2008]

This is played in the film called " In the name of the father"as far as I can remember.

[@ernestmac13]

If you knew anything about Prince, he was very humble and wouldn't be jealous of another artist's success when using one of his songs, as he wrote many very successful songs for several artists. Prince always treated others with respect unless the other person disrespected him. Fun fact, Prince released an album every year since his first album, and his private catalog of music is so huge they could release an album every year for a century. Price played every instrument on his first album, he was a perfectionist, and loved his fans more than being a huge star. After his falling out with Sony, Prince began holding performances in clubs and other small venues where he could have a more intimate experience with fans.

[@philrob1978]

@@ernestmac13 You might want to look a bit deeper into Sinead's experience with Prince. She's not quite as complimentary. But hey, we'll never know really. Depends who you believe.

[@sashabertold3731]

First time I've seen heard it, I was hooked. I was 11 almost 12 years ofcage when this came out in 1990. Everyone loved it!!! Haunting magic!

[@skierprincessakify]

Me too! I’m your age.

[@frandavid8]

The part where she cries, is because she's thinking about her mother, you can see it in "I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard" is just a little of what Sinéad had to live with her mother, sadly. Much suffering but still she loves and misses her. This is really emotional and give me chills when she starts singing "all the flowers that you planted, mama"

[@joselin2466]

Her mother used to beat the s...out of her and abused her all her life. Still she forgave her with this song...

[@tammyjackson3113]

Prince's version is good but Sinead makes it hers. Chris Cornell does a Beautiful version too.💜

[@gabrielaispas5142]

Also a big hit in Romania back then. I was 17-18 y-o. She is so beautiful! The lyrics are simple but impactful...Her performance makes everything sounds very deep, very emotional ... I didn't know, at first, that this was a cover of Prince's song... 🎧🇷🇴

[@gabrielaispas5142]

[@Concreteowl]

Even though Prince wrote this as a song about a romantic breakup Sinead funneled emotions regarding her relationship to her mother into her version. The combination is electric. For an artist known for her passion and animated energy to be so still it's epic.

[@LKre-vi5oq]

Not quite. He originally wrote this song for his Mom, after his father died. Prince was really worried about his Mom, but yes it morphed into a love song. Sineads' mother, with whom she had a terribly difficult relationship had recently died. Sinead had repeatedly said her version was much more about her Mom. RIP, Sinead.

[@rayandlee1969]

Sinead had her mother in mind while singing this. Heartbreaking to know that her mother never showed Sinead any form of love, and that she passed away just prior to Sinead's music career taking off. "All the flowers that you planted mama, in the backyard. All died when you went away..." 😢💗

[@javiervagabond9524]

The fool is the doctor who tells her “to try to have fun, no matter what you do”. Although there is no video for it and it wasn’t released as a single, Feel So Different is one of her most powerful songs.

[@patricelion902]

her voice, yes beautiful !

[@slimlouis6441]

How did you wait so long to watch this? It’s a pop culture masterpiece and moment. Iconic combo and the video just heightens it. She’s an amazing artist and I hope she forgives us. We were awful to her. Ahead of her time in every way.

[@witchestomotheryou234]

Please more Sinead! Her voice is incomparable. Soooooo many great songs and albums. Highly recommend: Troy, Just Like U Said It Would B, Feel So Different, Three Babies, Black Boys on Mopeds, Fire on Babylon, Daddy I’m Fine… the list goes on and on. Very versatile and important artist.

This is great! Insanely good - Could be the greatest video of all time! - Sineads version of course - thou Prince wrote it. I think it's filmed at Blenheim castle. If you do not cry - you're not human.

[@jericoba]

Prince, is great on his own, and he may have written this fantastic song, but Sinead takes it and brings it to life. It's her song, in my book. Both of them made this greatness happen.

[@JanS1]

I believe she has said she started to cry in the video because she thought of her mother who had died in an accident a few years earlier.

[@shaunbailey9272]

Es una canción que no se olvida nunca. ❤️❤️❤️

[@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.

In all these videos that I can watch there are those like you who are attentive to what is happening who discover admiration the music of their fathers and mothers and I love watching their reactions. And there are those who are too deeply rooted in a certain musical culture who take it down, forgetting that they come from the past. As I always say I love it when young people listen to old man's music.

Sinead was think of her mother who was abusive to her when she sang the lyrics"All the flowers that you planted mama in the backyard all died when you went away." Then she started to cry.

[@Scary__fun]

Yes, in the Prince original it was "All the flowers that you planted baby in the backyard...", referring to the girlfriend he broke up with. Sinead changed it to mama, so the last part of the song has a different meaning about her mother rather than the boyfriend.
