"I don't knoe if he's a cover artist" bro, we are talking about one of the best rock n'roll voices of ALL TIME.

It's crazy you are starting with this song (not bad crazy just wild), because this is one of the biggest, most iconic, baddest, revered rock singers ever. He had a HUGE grunge/metal band called Soundgarden, and later sung in Audioslave, where the band was the members of Rage Against the Machine. The equivalent of watching this first is if you were to watch Michael Jackson for the first time covering a Soundgarden song 😆

Chris Cornell was my hero. I cried when he died. First celebrity I ever shed a tear for. I love his version of this song. Gives it a totally different vibe. R.I.P Chris. No one sings like you anymore 🖤

Agree, he was and has been the only first celeb that I've ever cried at passing. He has such a profound impact on me and my love of music is greatly influenced by his music amongst others too but yeah, one of the GOAT and still sad that he can no longer with us to create amazing music for us to hear

I still cry when I think I outlived him

Chris Cornell is absolutely stunning. He had a 4-octave vocal range. He first became known to the world as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the band Soundgarden (1984.) He released his first solo album in 1999, but was with Audioslave from 2001 until 2007. He left us prematurely in May, 2017 (age 52.)

Don't Forget Temple of Dog tribute project & song Hunger Strike w/ Eddie Vedder and what became Pearl Jam!! Are the dates online correct-- did Chris form Soundgarden when he was 20 yrs old in 1984 but it took them like 10 yrs until had commercial success? Seems kind of impossible given his level of musicianship

His acoustic version of "Nothing Compares to You" is magic

"Don't know if he's just a cover artist".... 😭. I felt physical pain hearing this. But seriously he's amazing and has a massive back log of his own brilliant songs solo and with great bands too... I think he used to just do a lot of acoustic cover stuff at gigs for fun.

Neither does Chester Bennington. His death devastated me.

I feel like you reacted to Audioslave and Soundgarden. That’s Chris Cornell the singer from both those bands and one of the greatest rock voices in history!

You’re gonna love going down the Chris Cornell rabbit hole, he never misses. Check out his bands soundgarden and audioslave. For his solo work, check out “sunshower” has a vibe very similar to this tune here.

He’s one of the Legends - not just a cover artist lol

One of the greatest songs by Chris Cornell, and one of my personal favorites is; "Say hello to Heaven by Temple of the Dog"

He does have his own songs. Here's some songs by him you should try listening to along with the band he was in when he sang them. 1. Fell on black days by Soundgarden 2. Cochise by Audioslave 3. Rusty Cage by Soundgarden 4. Like a stone by Audioslave 5. Black hole sun by Soundgarden 6. I am the highway by Audioslave 7. Outshined by Soundgarden 8. Show me how to live by Audioslave

He was and still to this day a amazing artist. You Definitely need to check out Temple of the dogs hunger strike. Chris cornell voice along with Eddy Vedder from Pearl Jam, complimented each other so well. You love it.

One of the best songs to truly hear him sing is Be Yourself.

Honestly, I love Chris Cornell's singing and voice, but, on the first couple of Audioslave records, it's (unnecessarily) ruined by Autotune, to a point where it's incredibly distracting. Probably not his or the band's fault, just a bad production choice (that was the decade when they started plastering Autotune onto everything, even naturally gifted singers, which is criminal, in my book -the track in this video is proof enough that he was an exceptional live singer.) It's made worse by the fact that the technology back then was new, and you can really tell, on most releases from that decade. Same with Amy Lee from Evanescence; amazing vocalist, unnecessarily and criminally autotuned (at least on that record back when they had their big break.)

When it comes to raw talent, Chris was unmatched. He will never be replaced

Every Chris Cornell fan just watched another fan emerge. Love his covers!

You will love his rendition of Nothing Compares 2U....best male rock voice ever. Outshined from Soundgarden. He was also in a compilation band with Pearl Jam called Temple of the Dog. Hunger Strike is their most popular song

CHRIS CORNELL nothing comparess to you

Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium

Literally anything this man sings will hit the soul just like that.

His daughter covers some of his songs like hunger strike and she did a version of nothing compares 2 you with his version as a duet. She has a really beautiful voice as well.

Chris's version sounds like it should be the original. Another cover from him is "Nothing Compares 2 U." His original work is amazing too.

He also does a phenomenal version of The Beatles A Day In The Life

His rendering of "Nothing Compares to You" (Prince). One of my favorites.

I saw in an interview that musicians in the industry said that if Chris Cornell covered your song that it became his song because the raw emotion & angst he always sang with. #RIPChrisCornell

Rest in peace Chris Cornell A great musician, composer and beautiful spirit. Member of Soundgarden and Audioslave.

Rip Chris Cornell. One of the best and most beautiful voices ever in rock n roll period.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Spot on. Chris was the best. And he was. He's the lead singer of soundgarden, 90s band. Please give him a listen. His voice is immaculate.

Chris Cornell was such an incredible vocalist. Hearing him still gives me chills. Thanks for the video! I love that people are still enjoying the gifts he gave the world~

He was the lead singer of grunge powerhouse Soundgarden, the amazing Audioslave, and teamed up with Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder (and other members) to co-lead sing with the tribute band Temple of the Dog. Soundgarden: "Fell On Black Days", "Jesus Christ Pose", "Outshined", "The Day I Tried To Live" Audioslave: "Cochise", "Getaway Car", "I Am The Highway", "Shadow On The Sun" Temple of the Dog: "Hunger Strike", "Say Hello 2 Heaven", "Like A Dog" This is a rabbithole you need to fall ALL THE WAY DOWN!

His voice was amazing. Just a huge presence, even just him and a guitar.

I grew up as a kid with Michael Jackson doing that, and I swear to God man, I never had any idea whatsoever what that song was about. I mean I thought it was incredible with the melody and the Rhythm and the vocal registers and all that stuff. But when I finally heard Chris Cornell do it about 10 years ago, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. So emotional. He really took a story and made it real with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. That guy was so talented man. Rest in power Chris.

Listen to Nothing Compares To You by Chris Cornell. He's got so much great stuff!

He had such a beautiful, richly textured voice. What a lost treasure.

I’d love to see what you think of his song “Like A Stone” that he did with Audio Slave. We lost an icon when Chris Cornell passed away💔

Chris Cornell is a legend. His voice could reach four octaves. A one-of-kind voice that this world will never see again. He was in some amazing bands, and has a great solo career as well. He left us way too soon, but his music lives on. He did enjoy doing some covers at times too. You’ll love learning more about this Rock Legend!! RIP Chris Cornell

Sweet euphoria. And cover of nothing compares to you.will me you cry oh how beautiful and soulful and powerful. The best I've ever heard as far as a male vocalist. He could effortlessly 🤧 give to you any way you want it. I feel blessed to have seen him do this in person I couldn't feel the ground the entire show .life-changing I'll never hear anyone better in my life time .rip I miss you every day. Much love peace.

One of the greatest vocalists and THE GREATEST frontman to have ever walked the earth. To have been alive at the same time, though still too short a time, was a gift.

You need to check out Chris' cover of "Nothing Compares to You" and the live cover/mashup "One"

Chris Cornel is top 3 rock singers of all time. No question. RIP CC 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i am blessed . when i sing .. i sound just like him . his voice is magical

Chris is literally a god of a vocalist, and one of my biggest vocal inspirations as a musician. Legitimate plea here; more Cornell

⚜️ Chris Cornell still gives me goosebumps every time I hear his voice. He is so dearly and deeply missed. 💔

His most underrated song is Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart

Most talented singer of all-time... rest easy, Chris.

I've been watching MrLboyd reactions for awhile. Had no idea this whole time he has never heard of Chris Cornell. Man.. Looking forward to his reactions on soundgarden, temple of the dog, audioslave, solo stuff etc... So many good reactions coming up me thinks!

Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart is one of his original songs from his solo career and deserves a listen.

He was also a philanthropist and even went to Greece with his wife right before he died to build a church and school in a small town. He was amazing.

Chris was an amazing singer and musician. We lost a piece of the soul of music when he passed.

Remember when you did Audioslave...same guy. He was absolutely amazing! RIP Chris, you are loved and truly missed.

Chris Cornell had one of the most powerful and beautiful voices i have ever heard. When you have the time sit down and listen to the tribute CD Temple Of The Dog. It’s mind blowing in so many ways. Sadly, Chris hung himself on May 18th, 2017. One never knows where artists get their emotion from, sometimes it’s not a good place. RIP Mr. Cornell. You are missed.

He did a great cover of 'Nothing Compared to you' and his group Audoislave did a banger of a cover of "Seven Nation Army" (but I think you can only find that video as concert video. RIP Chris Cornell.

I hope you check out his other stuff. The soundtrack of middle school years, soundgarden. He was the singer of audioslave, which is the band from rage against the machine with Cornell as lead vocals. Another great solo song is Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart.

Thanks for your reaction! From Bulgaria - Europe! Actually you already reacted to his band Soungarden - Rusty cage! Chris is one of the great voices of our time! Unique tone and range! Also wonderful songwriter. Please react to his song "When I'm Down" - Troubadour, January 29 2010 , Say hello 2 heaven, Soundgarden's - Beyond the wheel live 2017, Audioslave's - Cochise, Temple of the dog - Hunger strike...RIP to my favorite musician! Chris Cornell - "No one sings like you anymore"

Yes more of him

One of the greats to come out during my youth. His death hit me hard. RIP.

Perfect word for this performance is “haunting”

Chris Cornell cover of Prince's, 'Nothing Compares 2 U'... OUTSTANDING!!!

I was legit sad when I heard he was taken from this world way too soon. One of the best vocalist ever. Love your reaction.

Rest in peace Chris. You will always be missed.

Chris Cornell is one of my favorite singers of all time!!! His death is a travesty

React to Chris singing Nothing compares 2u

5 octave phenom. If you have not peeped his cover of Princ's. "Nothing compared to you" it's amazing.

You have heard this artist before. As someone else said, he’s the lead singer of Audioslave, who I know you’ve reacted to (which also features Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine on guitar), and also Soundgarden, who you should absolutely react to. Chris Cornell is one of the best rock vocalists ever. It was a sad, sad day when we lost him. Depression is a bitch. Edit: added the bit about Tom Morello

Uh oh...he done opened up the Chris Cornell rabbit hole....the beginning of a fantastic journey he will not regret.

I love when someone can take a super popular song and transform it into their own.

When Hope and Promise Fade (Recorded Live at Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Toronto ON) and Wide Awake (Live in Stockholm) are two great songs and two of my personal favorites. Wide Awake is a tribute to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

Like a stone , live . As well as nothing compares to you . He's in multiple groups .

Nothing compares to u chris cornell cover

Sound garden and audio slave. His voice is soothing and powerful. My favorite singer of this generation. I miss him! You can’t go wrong listening to the first audio slave album take your pic. He’s a rocker at heart! So be ready.

Chris Cornell is a fantastic artist.

Oh, my friend, I can't wait for you to get deeper into Cornell's work. The man was one of the best ever.

RIP Chris, we will always love you.

Hell yea he had vocal power. I saw Soundgarden 5x. Chris Cornell and his Soundgarden bandmates peeled paint off walls with their unique sound and top notch musicianship.

Cris Cornell Seasons one of my top 20 favorite songs

his live cover of "thank you" by Zeppelin might be my favorite

The first time he sings "the kid is not my son" and strums is almost heartbreaking. I dont know if I'm reading too much into his broken childhood (if you know, you know). It hits different. Not very often we get a cover that dossnt just elevate...but changes the whole meaning.

RIP. Chris Cornell, one of the greatest grunge voices evet

His rendition of "Nothing Compares to You" is another outstanding cover! Give a listen to "Scream". For some movie trivia. He's the only male solo artist to sing a James Bond theme song, "Do You Know My Name" from Casino Royale...

Chris Cornell = one of the greats

His homage to Prince is breathtaking “Nothing Compares 2 U” and I have been a fan of his for years! S. I.P. to a master. Voice is the only instrument that is fashioned by God🙏🏻

One of best voices of all time

Be your self gives me chills too

Great reaction! Chris is my favorite and my favorite performance of his ever is his solo song When I’m Down live at the Troubadour. He is a prolific songwriter. I’m pretty sure you’ve reacted to him before. His was one of the ‘founders’ of grunge with his band Soundgarden. He had a one off album Temple of the Dog and was in Audioslave with members of Rage Against the Machine not to mention wonderful solo career and many soundtrack songs to movies. 🙂

"Nothing Compares to You" is a must listen

I wish he was still alive to do more covers! It was a sad day to hear he was no longer with us on earth but I have a feeling he is in the choir for the most high!

Chris was amazing 🎵🎵🎼🎼

One of the best cover reinventions ever. Up there with Johnny Cash Hurt

Dope forever. Will never be another like him.

Holy Snit! i love this rendition! ive never heard it before...

Chris Cornell (Hurley) one of the greatest.🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪

Forgot how much I liked listening music with this cat. It’s been a month or two. MrLboyd keep doing your thing. I’m back

The Day I Tried to Live would be great for a reaction. Also, I really like Limo Wreck and 4th of July among the less well known songs.

One of the saddest days of my life was when he passed, his music between temple of the dog, soundgarden and Audioslave were the bedrock of my musical upbringing amd enlightenment. Fo yourself a favor and go down this rabbit hole, you will not be disappointed in what you find. Getaway car and like a stone are my two favorite songs hands down.

Chris Cornell was and still is an American Treasure!! You should hear him do Prince's NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU!! but also any of his stuff from Soundgarden and Audioslave!!
