Vocal Coach Reacts to 'Nothing Compares 2 U' Sinead O'Connor

[@AlexAxford7]

Such an incredible vocalist, artist and human being. This cruel, sick world didn't deserve her. Rest in Peace, Sinéad. 💙

[@txlivin7819]

She had a mental illness. The world is not all cruel and sick.

[@robinsokol6957]

My sentiments exactly. This world did not deserve her. RIP dear Sinead 💔

[@AlexAxford7]

@@txlivin7819 people like you are the very reason the world is sick and cruel. No empathy or compassion for those that don't fit neatly into your arbitrary boxes or standards of mental "health". In spite of her struggles, she did a whole lot more good for the world than I'm sure you ever will.

[@katherinewillshire5969]

I loved her Irish accent, the ethereal beauty and the raw power of her voice. RIP beautiful lady.

[@CashelOConnolly]

I live in Bray,we saw her as a wonderful neighbour. We’d see her often on the high street,shopping but usually going to charity shops donating clothes. To us she wasn’t the mega star ,she was someone who’d stop you and share the craic with. Our hearts are broken 💔💔💔💔☘️🇮🇪

[@scottsaunders5087]

Been floored by Sineads passing more than any other artist. I started listening to her at the age of 13 I am 49 now. Just devastated

[@mathildeeide8550]

We’re the same age, and I too was gutted. Still can’t watch this video actually, too early. She really was huge back when we were young. I kind of feel the same way I did when Diana left.💔

[@karenhunter8095]

Did you "hear" the silence in that huge crowd just mesmerized by her? that was awesome. What a voice and what a song...

[@arpineh.beglaryan8743]

They don't make songs like this anymore. Its timeless. RIP Sinead O Connor 💔

[@marysalvi242]

@arpineh.beglaryan8743 I was reading a piece regarding Sinead's passing; about the 80's "But even in a crowd that included Tracy Chapman, Laurie Anderson and the Indigo Girls, O'Connor stood out." Iconic song and this particular performance, all the angst etc, poured out from within through her voice. Peace to who you were on this earth and now your sprit energy has nothing but peace and calmness ~ 💖

[@leeriches8841]

They do but because it's not one of the 'superstars' singing them, they're barely heard and remain undetected- the music industry has never been more about 'who you know' than it is these days. There's a myriad of talented singer/songwriters here on KZbin that have barely any views.

[@dnaflowz]

Based on the lyricism it’s just a love song. And there are so many of those. Literally all over todays music charts. In fact it’s all artists really ever sing about. I like her tho.

[@signalhilltv5237]

@@dnaflowz ROFL dnaflowz its actually Prince's song

[@celticbro1]

Stunning vocalist and a great performer who really gave her all. She was also an extremely courageous woman who cared deeply about others. I hope she's now at peace.

[@laurenpettis2469]

she was one of a kind. Like Freddie from Queen. That sound and passion is just so unique.

[@stevieMf58]

Such an emotive and brilliant singer. This is how to make a cover song 100% your own - they’re Prince’s words (and what a writer he was) but it’s Sinead’s experiences, emotion and soul fully fused into it. She will be missed ❤

[@michaelchittenden8925]

She completely owns it - Prince's attempt in comparison is utter garbage

[@Mel-wn9gb]

It's appalling how great female artists are forgotten, and only given their due after they die.

[@irenebyrne7809]

Gutted, a singular talent. Its not far fetched to say that seeing her in concert was a spiritual experience. There was only one Sinead. Thank you Georgina for recognising her unique talent.

[@paulthor6255]

An absolutely enchanting singer and brilliant artist. Her lovely soul all too poetic for this world made of lies and broken dreams. It's always the angels of truth that suffers the most. May her legacy live forever. And her precious soul rest in peace. 🖤

[@ronaldsolano2959]

I understand what depression is, I don´t judge you my lovely Sinead. I love you so much and hope you the best wherever you are. 💖

[@jackier4698]

To sing with such passion and pain, you know she’s experienced all of those emotions. Her torment is over and I pray she’s in eternal peace 🌈🌥️

[@perditawinter4694]

Thanks for doing this, Georgina. It was nice to have those few minutes thinking about Sinead. I think I will go and play the album.

[@wilson8979]

Her face bone structure and eyes were so beautiful, the most beautiful woman. So unique in her beauty. And her voice, the emotions in her song is beautiful ❤

[@estherconnor2572]

Such a loss. I’m glad she had such a huge hit with Prince’s song. She herself wrote and sang so many great songs. I’m glad I saw saw her live. Wondrous talent.

[@awbinn3377]

This song is without any doubt iconic but Sinead had so many great songs. She was so incredibly gifted. My favourite song by her has always been and will always be "Troy". It sands shivers down my spine every time i hear it.

[@marcovtjev]

Troy++ preferably the Pinkpop version

[@georgedominguez255]

Yes I knew it was a great song and it is just so powerful like how I love an artist to move me with their work! I just didn’t know others felt the same love for this beautiful song and how Sinead gave it her all on recording it!

[@latnscorpio1]

I think us americans have a deep love for that irish accent in music; from sinead, the cranberries, old U2, etc, list goes on and on…

[@dottiette5344]

Wow. Utterly amazing. I could listen to this all day on repeat. The world is a sadder place without Sinead. God bless you. I hope you have found peace. What a talent to perform like that.

[@mostynf]

I love the way she has such expressive hands too, like this spiritual energy is flowing through her entire body as she sings.

[@gerardquinn6637]

She IS singing from her soul.

[@leeriches8841]

She went against the grain and the world never like it. She deserved so much more. To think she spent her last little time on earth in pain due to the loss of her son is unbearable. Rest easy now Sinead, you're in a place of only love now.

[@guillermovilla9517]

(Thank You Coach… this performance was everything) More than just a singer. A truth-seeker, artist and consummate performer. Her artistry was genius level. She told the truth all those years ago, and she was mocked/derided/dehumanised. RIP Sinead. 🙏🏼💕x

[@floeyd.2405]

RIP precious Angel . I love her version of this song it is more heartfelt especially because she was pouring out her feeling toward her abusive mom after she passed away in a car accident when Sinéad was a young. What sucks is that her dad turned out to also abuse her . This is why she was a strong voice and went after Child Abusers😢🦋❤

[@jchur7128]

Thanks Georgina for acknowledging the tremendous talent of Sinéad O’Connor.

[@wimve4719]

I saw her three times. First time on Dranouter Folk Festival in Belgium (and this is a long time ago). She was headliner and performed almost three hours. First two hours with band and the last hour just Sinead ... pure voice singing hymnes, no instuments nothing but an angelic voice. If one calls something a goosebump/ethereal moment (and no, I hadn't smoked anything 'funny' at that moment 😛)., this was it! Second and third time, I saw her at the Proms in Antwerp, first concert where she opened with Troy and got a standing ovation after the first song (she even got confused and thought she had finished and came back on stage after she realised - rememberable moment) and then with Simple Minds. Simply Mind(s) blowing. RIP dear Sinead, no-one should ever have to go through so much pain.

[@Kim-lv1ds]

Never heard that live version before, it's even better than the recorded version. Absolutely amazing!

[@avedic]

It's kinda astonishing how PERFECT this song is.....Sinead's version of it. She took a perfectly written song....and delivered it...perfectly. I love how very simple it is. Just a diatonic chord progression over a very simple back beat....with a fully genuine human emoting over top in a way that cuts right to your soul. This is why I love pop music...because every so often a song is created that is just so perfect it's hard to believe we're lucky enough to even witness it. This is absolutely one of those songs.

[@amunek]

Her singing was raw and emotive at the same time, just amazing.

[@nourahnielson6204]

Very very talented, intense intelligent lady. Difficult at times, having a troubled life. I hope she finally has peace and happiness now and is being reunited with her son. She deserves it.

[@jackiekerr1561]

Amazing live vocals. Everyone knows the iconic video, I love the video. Because it is the most honest video I've seen, those tears was the absolute passion coming through. She could not hold her emotion back,those tears are real and they kept them in the video,which makes you know and feel the realness of this most brave & amazing woman. RIP Sinead, you deserve it, you will be forever missed 💔💖xx

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Chills immediately! 😢 This is heartbreaking, 💔 but I wasn't shocked. I feared something like this after her son died. RIP, Sinèad 🕊 ❤

[@timages]

I checked a few different bios of Sinead's and couldn't find anything about formal musical training. And yet, after listening to this great video there's so much technique in what she's doing I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I feel it's because of what the coach says here about being swept into the searing emotion of this great singer's performance. Sinead was a singer's singer, she found her true calling, RIP.

[@nourahnielson6204]

I always loved, Troy and Mandinka as well. Very much.

[@navileblond9981]

What an amazing woman with a fantastic unique gift. She was way ahead of her time and fought hard for what she believed in and never bowed down to others. I was very sad to hear of her passing she will be forever in our hearts and memories, no one will compare to Miss O'Connor, she had a beauty about her that she didn't need much to shine it came from within. Thank you for doing this Georgina. I will also tell you about a young girl called Ines Santos (Portuguese singer) she represented Portugal in 1998. In 1995 at the tender age of 16 she went on the Portuguese version of stars in their eyes, fresh faced with long hair, the presenter asked her if she had ever done any sacrifices for music, Ines said I will answer later, she went through the smoky doors came out as Sinead O'Connor and yes she did sacrifice something she actually shaved her head and performed Nothing Compares 2 U, she shocked everyone not just because she shaved her hair off but also how good she could emulated Sinead so well, needless to say she won. Could be worth having a look at her performance for comparison, link down below, but obviously there was only one Miss O'Connor and may she RIP my condolences to her family, loved ones and fans worldwide. xoxo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIS1oauBgZmanqM

Just to stand on your own knowing that even though you’re speaking the truth people don’t want to hear it and people vilify you for, takes so much strength of character and determination to call out the unjust.

[@davidslaton]

Wow, what a mind blowing performance!

[@metricdeep8856]

Ozzy, Vince Neil, Peter Gabriel and Sinead had two different voices come out at once within their "normal" singing voice. I believe that is why they stood out as they did. Just listen to any lyric they sang. It's not a doubling trick.....it's somehow in the frequencies they deliver. It just carries so much emotion that it overwhelms you. Subtle but immeasurable all the same.

Sinead O'Connor is a musician who sings from her soul and it lands for us with raw, emotional intensity that we cannot avoid focusing our attention entirely on her whilst she sings because she is so real and honest. In that sense, she was the ultimate artist. Worth watching her debut song - Troy - which really showcases her range: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z525Y2SAbJqpfKc&feature=share

Watching this video you just know she is one of the most gifted vocalists and also one I thought would be here for longer than she was. To me she is right up there with Whitney. She did so much with this song. I wish she and Prince were friends because she did so much with this, kind of like this was created just for her to sing. There are many other songs of hers that are outstanding. Sinead was beautifulonly she did not seem effected by it. She did not seem to notice her beauty. I will always think of Sinead as beautiful and a gifted vocalist.
