@@youtmeme I agree, as I said in the reply above, as far as I can tell from a distance nothing was straightforward in her life (and, of course, many of her comments are ambivalent, ambiguous or downright contradictory).

The song was written by the legendary Prince. Also worth reacting to the Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) version of the same song - completely different and so much emotion.

Strange you reacted to this yesterday. Sinéads youngest son Shane took his life. Only 17 years old, she’s devastated. RIP Shane our thoughts are with your beautiful mother today. Bless her, she’s had her own mental health issues for years to lose Shane I can’t even imagine how she’s going to cope 💔

At 17, no one knows what their life will be like at 22. The only way to find out is to live five more years.

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 18 years old. This is why Sinead fought hard to put on blast Child Abusers (Her dad also had part in her abuse). She had such a horrible childhood in the hands of very abusive parents. RIP Sweet Angel 😥🙏🦋♥

Simply Red is another great surprising voice. If you get the chance check out " Holding back The Years" it's one of those " I had no idea he sang that song lol

That's not true where did you hear that story, Prince did not like when other people who weren't his friends cover his song. The only reason Sinead O'Connor was able to cover this song was because Prince's record label Warner Bros. owned the rights to his masters at the time and they approved Sinead O'Connor covering this song. Prince actually wrote this song in 1984 and gave it to a group he started called The Family who's version is the best in my opinion.

She sings with meaning ❤

she was so young, beautiful and had a great voice....but life hit her hard.....😔🙏❤🤞

And Sinead doing this live is just plain insane good😎😱

This song omg she sings the hell out of it ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

Troy is another great song of hers. She wrote it and performed it on her first album.

Beautiful Irish songbird

Her seventeen year old son just died 😢 She was always one of my favorite artists. This was written by my favorite Prince 👑

As much as I love Prince (or Chris Cornell for that matter), this song belongs to Sinead. Period. Like when Johnny Cash remade NINs ‘Hurt’.

Beautiful song and more so now RIP Shane 💜

her live version from a concert in chile is amazing

RIP. Sadly, Sinéad O’Connor died July 26th 2023 at the age of 56. She was such a great talent. This is my favorite song by her. Prince wrote it and I love it by him also.

Beautiful woman. Beautiful soul. Beautiful voice. Putting across emotion is up there with anyone. And yes she can carry of the skinhead haircut with aplomb. Most women will be the first to admit not many can carry that off like Sinead. :D Don't fret about what you said fella. It isn't as though you told someone to their face they can't carry it off. :D

Sinead was on the trajectory to have a big American career and in one act of defiance on SNL she tanked her career. Decades later we now know she was 100percent on the mark and truthful in what she did. A true rock rebel. RIP to her son, recently lost to suicide.

If you want to really see her vocal range , check out the song "Troy" by her so amazing!

Her live performances of this are a trip also. She makes some suprising sounds w crazy dynamics that you wouldnt think you would like but it really conveys some emotions the ones that can throw you off even though you try to compose yourself irl. If you need some more material to react to, give it a whirl

Sinead shaved her head in protest against recording companies choosing pretty girls who could not sing.

This beautiful song she sings by Prince for her its about the abuse she suffered and the love she had for abuser which was her mother

Wow u reacted to 2 of my favourites songs ever in 3 days 😅 in the air and now this 💪🏼

Pronounced SHIN AID. Great reactions.

So few current YT reactors to this song notice the tears. And even fewer look up the artist beforehand to educate themselves on the basics. I love you two as you genuinely engage with every song you react to.

This one of those songs you know are really good but also one of those songs that got played way to much on radio that you got fed up with it. I remember when it came out and sometimes it felt like the radio never played anything else. This song should and will go down in history as one of those special moments.

Check out Stay by Sugarland. She cries in the video as well.

Pronounced “Shenade”. She was incredibly controversial. She could have been a much bigger artist.

This is a song that shouldn’t be interrupted…Its a Prince cover

Prince wrote it, Sinead covered it...perfectly. Beautiful, still holds up. ❤👍🏽

You should check out her interview with Dr Phil about her abuse from her mother. There is def a reason for the tears in the video they were 100% real

It was that one line "all the flowers that you planted, Momma. In the back yard. All died went you went away"... It reminded her of her father who had died.... They are real tears.

She shaved her head because she wanted to be taken as a serious artist she didn't want her beauty to overshadow her art. I seen a video where she was wearing a long wig & she looks prettier with hair. So I can see where she would say that.

You should check out Sugarland song called Stay. The official video. She really cries in that video. It’s a deep song too. But one worth taking a listen too.

The song was written by Prince. She asked him if she could cover it. He said no, so she did it anyway. He was mad, but he had to admit she owned it. I recommend her "Three Babies", and if you think this song is heartbreaking, listen to Three Babies and have the tissue ready. Be prepared, because any song she sings means something personal to her.

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Live) You need to watch her live. Top ten best performances ever IMO.

Prince wrote and released this with his band "The Family" in 1985 with lead singer St. Paul. The Family began after the disintegration of The Time...and Yes, I had the cassette 😁💜 More Sinead "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance"

She's got a great catalog of songs, most very personal and sentimental. Check out 3 babies, the perfect Indian, stretched on your grave, drink before the war, or the special cases

Her career was essentially over once she tore up the picture of the Pope on SNL to protest against the child sex abuse that was rampant within the church at the time and the subsequent coverup of the abuse. Most Americans weren’t aware of the abuse until years later so the backlash that she was “anti-Christian” was immediate after that performance. Her mental health struggles likely keep her from really performing again, but she’ll forever be an icon for standing up for what is right. Not only did she stand up for the children who were abused by trusted clergy members, she also shaved her head as a big 🖕 to the record execs who objectified her by pressuring her for sex and pushing her to wear skimpy clothing for a more ‘sexy’ image. She made impacts in very significant ways, even at her own peril, and I hope she gets the recognition for it that she deserves.

We have a grandson who is 17 months old. Got to love the tunes from my past. …… seems like yesterday though, oh and I’m just recovering from an urgent hysterectomy, enjoy your youth guys, try to hold on to it.

Also, The Lion and the Cobra album is one of the best albums ever

Sinead was a hero at this time. not only cause her music, but his political meaning and her whole attitude. i loved her.

In the Gaelic language when a vowel ''i'' follows a consonant it is pronounced like an ''sh''. So you can pronounce it like this; shă-nāde. And if you like her then give a listen to another firm from Ireland, Enya

Prince is 🤬 genius!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for you two to react to Pink's 2010 Grammy performance of glitter in the air. You won't be disappointed I promise!!

she wrote black boys on Mopends she wrote that song about the murder of a black boy in London, she was a defender of human rights. she spoke about what happened in the church when nobody wanted to talk, and I was banned, but later we know it was true.. in the Grammy Award. O’Connor topped off her outfit by painting Public Enemy’s yellow and black bullseye logo on the left side of her head, effectively giving the group, and the entire genre of hip-hop, a prominent place on network TV, O’Connor was firm in her convictions. Two years later, in 1991, Public Enemy protested the Grammys again over the ceremony’s refusal to televise the presentation of the rap categories. O’Connor-who was nominated for four awards that year, including Record of the Year-also boycotted for separate reasons, withdrawing herself from consideration and refusing to perform her nominated hit song “Nothing Compares 2 U” on the show. Rest in peace."

She talked against the Catholic Church and the world turned against her. That killed her career.
