She is Irish, her name is pronounced Sha-nade. The music industry, and society did her super dirty. She took a stand, she spoke truth. She was condemned for it. People didn’t want to hear it because it made them uncomfortable. She has suffered so much pain Throughout her life. I hope she is finally at peace. Hauntingly beautiful!!!! ❤ Rest in Peace Sinead.

Agree!

This was the number one song worldwide in 1990! No one could’ve sung this or covered it like Sinead!!

Rest in peace. She was apart of my teen years. Beautiful voice.

No other artist has brought a song like this one. She represents the tortured soul we all have in our lives at one time or another. She shows her very soul in this song. Prince may have written it, but the Holy Spirit meant it for Sinead.

This song makes me bawl like a baby. It's like you're just watching a grieving human being that you want to reach out and hug, not a pop star. She did us all a big service making this song so relatable. She told Dr. Phil on her interview that it is actually about her traumatic relationship with her mother, who abused her and died in a car crash.

the song isn't about her mother she used the emotional pain of her mother to access the emotion needed for the song ,the song is about the meaning for a lover who has left and is never coming back ,the yearn ,the agony and the helpless hope

Simply one of the greatest recorded vocal performances of all time...

as a 20 year old when this first came out I was completely enthralled with this woman, thank you Sinead for all you gave the world

I will always have goosebumps hearing this song. What a talent she was!

RIP Sinead... She was so beautiful!!! Her voice is sugar!!

Sinead recorded this a few weeks after her mother died in a car accident - she sheds a tear in the video shortly after she mentions Mammas flowers - as she remembers her...! I believe this was recorded in a single take - the raw pain and emotions are real....! RIP Sinead - your Heart & Soul live forever in your music - thank you...!

Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice!! May she R.I.P

Almost a year ago her 17 year old son passed away. She was heartbroken. May she RIP and be reunited with her son. RIP Sinead (Shin-aid) O’Connor

After her son sadly took his own life 18 months ago i knew that was it for her she'd struggled for all of her life but the weight of her sons passing was just too much. RIP sinead 🙏🏼

Such a sensitive soul, this world broke her in so many ways and yet she gave us all the pieces she had left😭❤️🙏

Sinead...we miss her!Many Tributes paid to her in Ireland,also in my hometown in the irish country side...Street party and people belting out this song in her memory!RIP Sinead,you were a Trailblazer and we will be so much poorer without you.😢Thanks for the reaction,man,she deserves it all!

There is something so gratifying in watching someone being deeply moved by music. Thanks for doing this and bringing this beautiful song to people who perhaps have never heard it before. I was 12 when this came out, it was massive in the UK, no1 in the charts & played everywhere. Cried then, crying now RIP Sinead x

It was a cover that Prince didn't want so he gave it to her

Sinead ("shin - ed") O'Connor was born in Ireland... her mom was allegedly psychotic and physically abusive to Sinead as a child. She left her mom to live w/ her father in the USA at 13, but found herself getting in trouble as a teen and spent 18 months in an asylum. When she was 18, her mom died in a car crash. Sinead started singing as a teen and was signed in the 80's... her first album 'The Lion and the Cobra' was unlike any pop record at the time and sold gold... She also shaved her head because she rejected the music industry's image of 'beauty'. Her 2nd album in 1990 ("I do not want what I haven't got") was a huge hit... the single "Nothing compares 2 U" was written by Prince (yes, him!) became a massive hit... She also contributed vocals to Peter Gabriel's album 'Us' in 1992. However, Sinead O'Connor became a target of ire in 1992 when she appeared on 'SNL' and tore up a photo of the Pope to protest the Catholic church's protection of their clergy who were victimizing and exploiting children. She was mocked, ridiculed and shunned in America for years... until widespread sexual abuse perpetrated by the Catholic church were exposed by 2001. Even the Pope apologized to the victims of his clergy who participated and covered up the abuses. It was inconceivable that a religious institution like the church would be the epicenter of such monstrous activities... Sinead spoke the truth and was vilified & ridiculed for it... but she was vindicated in the end. Sinead O' Connor's later albums sold decently, but her music was overshadowed by her tumultuous personal life - mental illness, breakdowns and episodes... 4 failed marriages and infidelity... four children w/ 4 different fathers... controversy over her views... She alleged that Price assaulted her w/ a pillow after he was upset w/ her. Sinead was working on a new album and tour, when her teenage son died from suicide in early 2022, canceling all her schedules plans. Sinead O' Connor was apparently struggling when she passed away in 2023 at age 56. More of Sinead O' Connor's songs - 'Mandinka' ... 'Jerusalem' ... 'Heroine' ... 'This is a rebel song'... 🔥🔥

Very misunderstood woman. Her book is fantastic and shocking. Legend! RIP Sinéad ❤The voice of many a teen slow dance.

She has a beautiful version of Lagan Love here on KZread if you're interested.

😢😇🙏 RIP precious Angel of God. 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.

This is one of my all time favorite songs ever. Still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it❤❤

The voice of an angel!!! Loved this song as a teen!! She is so unique and this song gives me chills everytime I hear it!! Nothing compares for sure!

It's pronounced SHI NAYD. Part of what made this song so haunting was the fact that she lost her Mom shortly before. Her Mom was on her mind during the video shoot and every time she sang it. Her Mom was sadly struggled with addiction and Sinead grew up dealing with abuse. She lost her Mom as a teenager. She had bipolar disorder, lost her 17 year old son to suicide, and her life was filled with tragedy; Despite all of this she was so intelligent, compassionate, and was an outspoken social justice advocate. Her catalogue of stunning music is much larger than this one song also:).

Great reaction. Fun fact. This was written by Prince!

Hope you learn something new today.😃🎶👍 "Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written and composed by Prince for his side project the Family; the song appeared on their 1985 debut album, The Family. The song features lyrics exploring feelings of longing from the point of view of an abandoned lover. Several years later, the Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor recorded a version of the song for her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990). It was released as the album's second single in early 1990 and became a worldwide hit.

Thank you for this video. I was 15 when I first heard this. This song is what made me appreciate strings. It also was confirmation that a face without long flowing hair can be so beautiful.

Again and again goosebumps up and down. Beautiful angelic voice. rest in peace ❤️

Thank you so much. What a voice!

Her name sounds like Shinade believe it or not, from Ireland - me too! What a voice she had. R.I.P. Sinéad 💔💔

I have never got through this song with dry eyes. Even more so now she has passed. Just like Sinead, I suffer from mental health problems but to imagine suffering whilst the world watched is something else completely. Rest in peace Sinead, you're in a place of love now. Your passing is gonna leave a huge hole in the lives of so many.

Her voice is from Heaven. Angelical. I grew up listening to her songs. It's really sad that she passed on. Greetings from Brazil.

It is pronounced Sha- nade... RIP, Sinead... I always loved this song!!

God bless your soul beautiful and talented and brave and fearless truth teller. Took on the Catholic church single handedly and paid a heavy price. Warrior woman rest in bliss.

Nothing compares to Sinead. Thank you for highlighting her.

Definitely an amazing voice. Thank you.

Such a beautiful sound to emanate from such a troubled soul. We were privileged Sinead, so privileged that you shared your voice with the world. RIP sweet lady, you will be forever remembered and forever missed.

RIP sinead your one in a million , beautifull and soulfull , damaged by others all that gone now LUV YA

R.i.p sinead, you were in my life growing up through your music. Will never forget this angelic voice rest easy

Great reaction, thank you very much. Prince wrote this song about his maid who returned home to her country to support her family after a death. Sinead R.I.P. covered this song shortly after her mother was killed in a car crash, and all Sinead's heart-felt emotions were for her own mother who she missed dearly. Love from Ireland

I'm crying. Thanks for reviewing this and for your heartfelt reaction. It's so sad..

💚💚💚 ****RIP BEAUTIFUL**** 💚💚💚

Sinead was such a sweet beautiful soul and this song is hauntingly beautiful (I grew up listening to this). INcredible voice.Sinead suffered so much in her short life.Sinead i pray you are finally at peace with your beloved son Shane.xo

She will go down as one of irelands true great irish artists ,she never got over her sons Death she is reunited with him now god rest her soul ,we will never see her like again, she spoke up for what she believed in and told many truths which many people didnt like ,and thats what i liked about her she spoke her mind and was true to herself.rest In peace sinead O Connor

Dr Phil interview with Sinead is heartbreaking …{Ive very little time for a “Doctor” who preys on the vulnerable)this was before she lost her beloved son Shane. , Sinead would always have gone down in history as one of Irelands greatest Irish artists.☘️🇮🇪💚💚💚

Great song by Prince. Interpreted beautifully by Sinead.

She IS amazing.

Thank you for honoring her

Raw emotion - Raw honesty - Enormous talent. Her honesty and integrity got her into trouble when she addressed the things she was very passionate about, and she was passionate about a lot of social issues. Sinead also refused to be moulded by her record company into 'sexing it up". They got into her about 'dressing / presenting "more sexy" and told her to grow her hair more. She went straight out and cut her hair this short! 😄She said she preferred her music to stand or fall on it's own merits - not on her 'looks', and she was right. This one went gangbusters worldwide. Sinead was a 'Social Justice Warrior' She was open about her own experience of child abuse. Her shared experiences of mental illness and grief contributed to community awareness and understanding. Likewise regarding chronic illness and chronic pain. Sinead cared about the plight of refugees and many more issues. One of those was her disgust and fury at the way the Catholic Church covered up paedophilia and protected, not the victims, but it's predator priests. Today she would have been applauded, back then? She got slammed for it. The backlash was effectively {mainstream} career ending, vicious and unrelenting, but she soldiered on. These attacks exposing and triggering her psychological fragility. Her true fans stuck with her, through her subsequent albums and tours and struggles with poor health. The loss of one of her sons to suicide the year before she also succumbed was a fatal blow at a time where her physical health was also deteriorating. She struggled hard to overcome these challenges, continuing to write music and plan for performances. Sadly we lost her. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Sinead. 💔❤‍🩹

I love you for putting this up and showing your appreciation ❤

Another great voice up in heaven with the other great voices!!! RIP

Since the first time this song came out, I've never been able to get through it without crying.

She was 5 years younger than me yet i feel i grew up listening to her and watching her videos this song is my favorite always was RIP sweet peace my angel😇

You should hear her version of the House of the Rising Sun.. it’s beautiful, haunting and her own. Love love love it.

a woman with an amazing voice, and her own opinion on every issue. one made her a star, and the other made her life complicated.

R.I.P, she sang this so beautifully. And R.I.P to your son too.

What an amazing reaction brother. This takes me back to my childhood listening to her... Rip!!

If you don't already know, this song was written by Prince. He originally recorded the song but never released it, he then gave the song to a group he created called The Family and in my opinion their version of this song is the best version. ps He never liked that Sinead O'Connor covered his song, he felt that if someone covers your song people forget that it's your song and believe it's the person's song who covered it.

Rest in Peace little sister 💔. We love you and miss you deeply.

Her face was so perfect, so symmetrical RIP

Always instant tears for this

I just heard in the radio, her Son took his Life a short while ago. That broke her 😢

Always loved this Song ♥️ 🙏

you ought to check out her interviews, early on, and throughout..... the tragic abuse, Irish history, the catholic church, misdiagnosed with bipolar instead of PTSD... becoming a Muslim, her attitude towards fame, money, the industry etc...... you can see the abuse showing in fidgety body language, but what she had to say is very thoughtful and inspiring but also tragic, like the suicide of her son......

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

Nothing compares 2 u❤ beautiful rest in peace...
