She's the best singer of my generation, hands-down. Her mother passed away shortly before they filmed this video, and she has stated that she was thinking about her mother during the entire shoot, which is one reason that the emotion is so strong. The tears are real, etc. It's a shame what happened to her when she got up the courage to call out all of the sexual abuse that was happening in Irish churches. She was absolutely dragged through the mud and shredded for trying to be a voice for the voiceless.

In fact, Sinéad's mother died in 1985, before she even released her debut album, The Lion and the cobra. Nothing Compares 2 U is from her second album, I do not want what I havent got, released in 1990, so it wasn't "shortly before they filmed this video". This song actually always reminded Sinéad of her mother and their rocky and unstable relationship. There are dozens of interviews in which Sinéad talks about her mom, and it's really heartbreaking to listen her story. And I do agree that the "business industry" really wrecked her career after she spoke out about the church and child abuse. But I think we should give props to her because she has continued releasing new music ever since. She never really stopped working, and maybe this year we'll have some new material.

Her face captivates you and you can't turn away.

The lines "All the flowers that you planted mama In the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try" Are the lyrics that made her cry during the filming of this song too. She put so much emotion into this song and boy does it show

People always put Sinead down. The fact is her voice and singing ability was vastly under rated, this track showed how great she could be. Prince got it so right when he gave the song to Sinead

It's a rare moment that someone discovers Sinead and gets her, by the power of her voice and emotion. She's forever clouded by her voice outside of music and dubbed a one hit wonder. She's anything but those two stereotypes. She's a strong woman despite her struggles and forever a voice to be reckoned with. I can't convey the majestic calm I experience when hearing her sing.

She made that song famous!!! In 1990. Before that, it wasn’t a well known song. She said every time she sings it, she thinks of her mother (who passed away in a car crash in 1985) who abused her as a child. No matter how her mother treated her, she loves her and misses her so much. She ached for her mother’s love, and affection growing up. Her mother never showed her love, she beat the crap out of Sinead and her siblings. Most of Sinead’s songs, if not all, are very personal and emotional. She’s the most truthful and honest artist out there in the business. She’s my favorite singer, apart from Mercury. Screw those people who made her a pariah and completely chastised and ostracized her for telling the truth. Sinead, I will always love and support you!

You heard this exactly how it's meant to be heard. You can see in your face that she touched you with her desperation. I love this song.

She should have won an oscar for this performance imo:)

I'm so glad you got a chance to see this and celebrate the beauty of the way Sinead sings this song. Given how much Sinead bears her heart, its no surprise that you got the truth of her delivery and its a reminder of the awful paradox that great beauty is often created by artists who have a lot of pain and issues to resolve. I was a fan of Sinead way back in time, and she even wrote a few decent numbers of her own, but with this song, she created a performance which stands the test of time and will be an ever lasting legacy.

Her mother had died in a car crash, she also suffers from BPD. Her son recently committed suicide. I love her and have seen her live many times. The power in that voice is unbelievable.

Perfect. Not many songs are perfect. This one is. The singer. The voice. The lyrics. The emotion. Perfect.

It's tough listening to a beautiful woman sing a beautiful song and watching another beautiful woman cry. 😂

Sinead was singing the song for her mother, who had just died. She put all that hurt and loss into the song and it shows beautifully.

I saw her live in Minneapolis when this album was just out. It was an outdoor venue and most of the concert was a capella or close enough to it. She was amazing. One of my favorite concerts ever.

her life has been so difficult, and the voice of a true angel

If you don’t have a tear in your eye when you listen there’s something wrong with you ❤❤❤❤❤

I don't know if it has already been mentioned, but the reason she sings this so hauntedly/sad/filled with pain is because she dedicated it to her late mother, her mother was not the best, and therefor why the amount of pain you can feel

still brings tears to my eyes such a heavenly voice

Wow you really understood all of her - the song and her performance is unlike any other. 💔

Liked . Subscribed, IMMEDIATLEY. There are hardly NO reactions to her version of this song online. I have asked others over and over to SEE this. Haunting. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. YOU get it. Also, her beautiful haunting eyes and genuine expression are real, she just broke up with her boyfriend right before this was filmed.

Such a beautiful, genuine reaction - thank you! "Troy" is a song she is known for (and wrote) - the emotions are even more intense. She has one called "Fire on Babylon" about the abuse she suffered as a child. It's almost hard to listen to, but she sounds like an avenging angel.

You are spot on! This is HER song! Nobody is famous from this song but her. PS I'm a huge Elvis fan! Xo

That tear is real... The part about the flowers dying was a tribute to her dead father...

Sinead turns her soul from the inside to out while singing this. You know she's feeling every bit of it because she's making you feel every bit of it. You can smell, taste and feel the pain and you're made to feel it in such a beautiful way ... she touches my soul every time I listen to it. I've never heard Chris Cornell's version and never will if I can help it. This one means too much to me.

I know it is a sad song but her voice is so mesmerizing.

Love you Empress!

She cut her hair off to bring awareness to something I now forgot. Look it up. Very interesting. She rocks because of that,

I remember this on MTV back in the day. This came out in 1990 and my son was two. When he saw it on tv he would just stand in front and stare...he was completely mesmerized by it. Thanks for the great reaction!

this the exact response to the song that should happen. this is what a tortured person blessed by god sounds like. she very much has that troubled genius thing.
