Vocal Coach REACTION & ANALYSIS 🎧 Sinead O’Connor 🎙️ Nothing Compares 2 U (LIVE) 🎶

In Dr Dan's vocal analysis of Sinead O'Connor's live rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U," he explores the raw authenticity that defines her performances. He notes that great art isn't necessarily about hitting perfect notes but about sincere, intense communication, a quality that O'Connor had mastered. While her voice is uniquely marked by a tight pharyngeal space and a level of growl, Dr Dan cautions against emulating these characteristics due to the potential for vocal fold fatigue.
He also delves into the technical aspects, highlighting the choice of a dynamic super-cardioid mic (SHURE Beta 58) that complements the raw emotive quality of O'Connor's voice. Lastly, Dr Dan remarks on the crucial role of breath management in driving the emotional depth of any singing performance.

⚠️ As a singing voice specialist, I fully acknowledge that each live performance is a snapshot in time and does not encapsulate the entire spectrum of an artist's work, nor can it predict their future evolution. I understand that a myriad of factors, both positive and negative, can influence the delivery of a live performance. I strive to appreciate and critique each live rendition for its own merits, independent of the artist's past or potential future performances. Recognising the ebb and flow of live music, I value its spontaneity, novelty, and individuality and strive to give it the thoughtful consideration it deserves.

What a wonderful analysis to a wonderful singer. Thank you for covering Sinead I hope you will do more Sinead.

[@wooyulan]

A very enjoyable review Dr Dan, thank you so much! Sinead O'Connor was able to fully express herself through her art, and was unafraid of consequences. What artistic freedom. Definitely made her stand out from the rest . RIP

[@DrDanRobinson]

Well said!

[@sandrinebagisha7671]

Wow!

[@user-yo5vy7wb5p]

What a wonderful and intelligent comments full of insight. I hope you will review more Sinéad. Thanks!❤❤❤

[@warbees752]

Hello Thanks for the reaction ;) New subscriber, If I may suggest please try reacting to 4 Sisters from the Philippines called 4th Impact singing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ (So Hyang Version) [FORTE CONCERT 2021] thanks.

[@angelacavar708]

Thank you.

[@DrDanRobinson]

You're welcome!

[@AaronFoltz]

Other great performances would be Troy at the Dominion Theater, John I Love You on the Jon Stewart Show and Fire on Babylon from 2002(3?) live in Dublin. Great points on tension and mic choice.

[@deepbluehue3]

She was at a place in her life at this moment where she could physically , intentionally end phrases with that ' vocal flip' at the end ... ( yodle squeek ) Think THIS performance has the most ... in one song ... So unique to her style ...

[@ericsaari2901]

This is truly one of the most amazing vocal performances I have ever seen. I always knew of Sinead, and this song, but only relatively recently found this performance. I had never seen her live, but this was stunning. A true, true artist. You mention at the end enjoying seeing artsist that sometime play with the tension. I suggest checking out Japanese artist LiSA on the First Take. Homura especially, but also Gurenge or Unlasted. She does some pretty amazing things with tension and release. First Take has subtitles under the CC.

[@dawsonje]

Fully agree. Hard to listen to the coaches say it’s not ideal. She OWNED this

[@alzer6467]

she has many great songs and performances that get overlooked because of this song. Check out Troy which is her best song in my opinion - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j17ad4l4ZdiYpcU

[@albert0F]

Does it make a difference what mic you choose to use on a sea-level super-dry cold night in Chile? Thats a very unusual setting. Speaking of the mic used vs a condenser you mentioned.

[@JasonBrossa]

You want to use a condenser mic live in concert. Very difficult with a band lol. You can practice the techniques all you like it's good. But to sing like her you have practiced and now must not think you must just sing. She's not trying. She's not thinking about her pitch her tone let me do this technique, let me use a lilt here or glottal stop here, whisper here, vibrato here, belt here. She has no idea about anything your saying. Apparently none of these things ever affected her voice. Don't tell student to be careful. Most won't make it anyway. If you can blow out your voice for one song that the world loves and then you've accomplished your goal to make someone feel something.
