That's a beautiful Irish voice. She sacrificed her career to call out the hypocrisy and sexual abuse in the catholic church. This woman is not only stunningly beautiful but has the voice of an angel. Many of us love you still Sinead
Yep, love her. She's fucking bonkers though!
@@stephenmclaughlin5191 true. But with what she's suffered, I'm not surprised. That's why the song is so good. She reaches right into your soul and says "FEEL MY PAIN!"
Sinead O'Conner acts on her beliefs. She lives according to what she knows is true. She stands out and seems crazy because everyone else is believing blindly in bullshit.
The SNL thing was gangsta! Especially for the time, but it sealed her fate in the US.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But she is not crazy. She is a sensitive intuitive person who is a able to sense the deceit and hypocrisy of the so called "not crazy" people, who are actually the real crazy people.
So much respect ✊ for this woman. She went through a lot, had her career trashed and was blacklisted after tearing up a photo of the pope on SNL live to protest against the Catholic Church’s coverup of child sexual abuse by priests. She paid quite a price and few folks have that kind of conviction.
She is still going through a lot.
Thanks for explaining, I knew there was an issue, also knew she wasn't well for a while, didn't know what it was all about.
I should have known she spoke up against child abuse why we never seen more music from her 😞 sad
They twisted her because she spoke out against the Elite Child Abusers. There was a Media Smear Campaign against her and it twisted her spirit
Edited it for punctuation 🤣 guess it was confusing.
She also suffers from bipolar.
Came by to honor Sinéad O’Connor who sadly passed away a few days ago. She had a hauntingly beautiful voice. She famously tore a pic of the pope in half on live TV (SNL) to bring attention to sexual abuse being committed & hidden by the Catholic Church. She was vilified for it. We now know she was correct and brave enough to be one of the first to publicly call them out on it. I pray she’s at peace in God’s hands now 🙏🏻.
She had such amazing vocal control.
Noone compares!
I believe I was in junior high when Sinead was on SNL and tore up the picture of the pope. I honestly didn't understand why it was such a big deal. She was merely sending a message of truth that was already out in the public. Besides, people shouldn't be worshipping any pope or idol but God himself.
I just learned about her passing away now from your comment.. May god have mercy on her soul..
hey twins! I'm a 61 year old white guy from england. I have lived and loved these songs for years and i'd like to thank you for listening to these songs and judging them on their own merit, rather than just dismissing them because they came well before you did. Keep up the good work your curiosity, your patience and your politeness do you credit.
It's amazing watching kids listening a song from a different age.
Am not sure they understand the spirit of that time, but they make me laugh 😂
Yes.. but their entire attitude changed at the point of the graveyard scenes...I could see they were ripping emotionally and it was wonderful. Love all of your expressions. And yeah...she was amazing
52 here. I feel the same way!
When Prince died she came out with a tribute to him and of course she sang this song exactly 7 hours and 15 days since he took his love away from the world (from the day he died). Not a dry eye around. I was in NYC in Little Italy about a week after he died and I came across the most amazing Mural of Prince on the side of a building. It just stopped me in my tracks. He died a few months after David Bowie died. This was the year the music died......Love you guys. Have you done Alanis Morirsette yet? Also, Dido- awesome female voices. Both Alternative rock
@MsDicenice that tribute sounds amazing! Do you know if it happens to be on youtube?
Damn, I would have been sobbing.
I found this : czcams.com/video/5KuGUP-C9Ko/video.html
2016 was a year of incredible music loss. Sigh.
I never knew that was her tribute to Prince. Just the thought of it makes me want to cry.
Sinead O'Connor is one of the most underrated female artists. She defied the stereotypical and male dominated record industry by shaving her head and singing about issues that were affecting her, her country and the world. She bore the brunt of mainstream society when she tore a picture of the Pope at that time, and publicly chastised the Catholic Church. She was ostracized, denigrated and disgraced... however you feel about her then, and now, she stood for what she believed. And she is an amazing artist. I've listened to her for more than 20 years. Women singing about their past boyfriends or expressing their anger and pain from past relationships, she created that genre before Alanis Morissette, Tori Amos, even Taylor Swift.
Agree!.
TOTALLY agreed!!!🙋🏾♀️👊🏾
Love her albums Faith and Courage and Lion and the Cobra.
Lion and the Cobra is one of my favorite albums of the eighties, and she's tied with Annie Lennox for my second favorite female voice - Kate Bush is #1.
Sinead O' Connor stood up to the Vatican and Margaret Thatcher and knew she was right. Now the world knows. Thank you Sinead🌎🌎🌎
"Nothing Compares to 2 U" is an anthem for my mother. She was murdered at age 21 while luring a stalker/kidnapper away from me. I was 22 months old. I'm 61 years old now and as hard as I've tried throughout my lfe, nothing and no one could ever fill the void of her loss for her only child. Mother, Nothing Compares 2 U.
Aw I’m sorry you went through that.
I hope you’re ok now
What a brave Mama you had. This is your song.
Wow. A mother's love.
🌹
Did you hear her son committed suicide recently
Sinead O'Connor didn't just perform her music. She felt and expressed it..from her soul.
💯💯💯💯💯
Amen! She was such a good girl, but she had a lot of problems with her mom and the Catholic Church. It’s really hard to accept that she’s not here anymore. I will keep her in my prayers, rest now, Sinead. ❤
She did Prince proud with this Cover of his song.
Prince actually wrote this song. She is from Ireland.
That's right Cindy
Yup! The King who was Prince.
I was just going to write this exact same comment.
Lol prince said the royalties bought him a house...
Didn’t Prince write this specifically for her? Miss him so...
I’m an 80 yr old woman who can’t get enough of you handsome young men. Your reactions are the best. Thank you for making me feel young again.
Go Margaret! You ARE still young!! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m 53 and LOVE these guys too!! So genuine and I love how open they are to all kinds of music. Their reactions are priceless - keep it up TWINS!!!
Gross 🤢
@@livelongandprosper70 what you grossing at???
You're as young as you feel sweetie 💜
Her voice sounded "country" in the context of 21st century cliches of country singers, but she's from Ireland, as am I, and our ancestors had a major influence on country music back in the day. (Listen to Dolly Parton talk about the connection between Irish and Country music). So, the little lilts that she places so carefully at the end of certain lines and breaks are just traditional Irish music's influence. Thanks guys for giving this fantastic reaction. There will never be another like Sinéad again. Sinéad's career suffered a major hit when she got on SNL and told the truth about the sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. She tore up a paper portrait of the pope on SNL and the haters brought her down, as they do so many good people with principles. SNL is in NYC, and NYC is still heavily controlled ed by the Cardinal and special monsignors at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. These guys have too much power. Enough politics! This is a song about love, loss and longing. Good on you, Sinéad.
Bravo brother. My dad was born in Boston but by time he was 3 years old he'd had enough of that country. So he moved to western Canada at age 3, bringing his parents and siblings with him. So I was born in western Canada. My mom's name was Kathleen Murphy. All 16 of my gg grandparents were born in Ireland. So I like to think that makes me as Irish as you. I say that lovingly and with all respect. "Our ancestors"... man, that description hit me like a ton of bricks. I am Irish. I am a Celt and have been for 20,000 years. My last name in the old Gaelic is O'Rioghbhardain. I doubt many other readers here can translate that, but I've a hunch you can, lol.
I remember her SNL appearance..NBC banned her from the network I cheered her on she was badass and she was one of the voices of my generation may she R.I.P
Is she singing about losing a lover breaking up with you; or did her live die??? Two different scenarios. Love the song. RIP Ms O’Conner.
@@TheJackie2006-b2kThe song was written by Prince about an ex-lover who was still alive. Once in her hands, it became in part about her late mother. "Mama" planted the flowers in the backyard in their home and they died after she did from lack of care. That's why she started crying in the video after singing that verse. So you picked up on both, which is cool.
@@lysanamcmillan7972 thank you for the info. Interesting, isn’t it?🙏🏽
Awe poor Sinead, what a beautiful, creative soul! I think it should be noted that she was 21 when she sang this song, her mother, who she had an extremely complicated relationship with, died 2 years previously in a car accident. When Sinead sings "All the flowers that you planted mamma, in the back yard, all died when you went away" you can see the sadness & grief in her face just before she starts to cry. I think in her mind, throughout this song, it reflected her sadness about her mother passing and thats why its so powerful because she put so much emotion into it. Sinead had a very difficult journey in this life but she never stopped being real or true to herself, she spoke & sang from her heart and although she was troubled & complicated and experienced more than her fair share of abuse & trauma, she always cared deeply and loved humanity. RIP Sinead, you're loved more than you could ever know x
If you saw her interview with Dr Phil you'd know she wasn't shedding tears for her mother
It was her mother's mental illness that caused a lot of sineads problems but who walked in her mother's shoes to know what went wrong o her
@@bernicewade9796 Sinéad has said herself, that tear in the video was because she was thinking of her mother in that moment.
Amen
Read Sinèad’s memoir, Remembering, she states she cried for her mother, singing Nothing Compares 2U, she said the line: All the flowers that you planted in the backyard,mama, died when you went away”, she was clearly mourning her mother and the extremely sad childhood she lived through.
She’s Irish. This is a song written and performed by Prince originally. But like Whitney houston made Dolly Parton’s “I will always Love you” her own and iconic. Sinead O’Connor took his song and made it her own. It really is quite different from the original with a few similarities.
WTF
I miss Prince..
You know he has an entire vault of unreleased music, videos and movies that will never see the light of day
HisSongGirl: MONI Doesn’t matter he got 100% of the writers share.
Sinead definitely made the best version of this song and I do love Whitney's version but Dolly's original will always be the best for me
Chris Stapleton also does a blues/country version
Prince blessed her by giving her these lyrics. She tore this song up. Strong woman.
LOL Prince didn't give her this. He wrote it, but she never even talked to him until after. When they finally met Prince tried to beat her up lol
@@ben1ben2ben1 Prince tried to beat a woman up over a song. Yeah he had issues too apparently
Prince was a blessing to all of us!!
Yes ❤
Prince’s manager Steve Fargnoli also managed Sinead O’Connor. He asked Prince if Sinead can record it, and he said yes. Originally, he wrote it for the band he was working with called The Family. But Sinead version was way better. Yes, Prince and Sinead had an altercation, and they didn’t get along... and yes, they didn’t meet until after she had recorded the song, but Prince was very aware of her recording it. I worked for Steve Fargnoli and Sinead for years (up until Steve’s passing in 2001). Both beautiful people. 💜
This song was written by Prince.
Sung magnificently by Sinead. RIP Prince and Sinead.
I didn't read all the comments, but saw your recognition of Prince's lyrics first. Thanks for that! Amazing lyrics by Prince sung beautifully by Sinead. RIP to both!
It made me so happy to hear you enjoying Sinead's music. Since we lost her a few days ago, it helps me remember the joy that she brought instead of just being very sad.
My thoughts exactly ❤
I came here looking for this comment. We lost a true pure soul. Even with all the pain she endured in her life she still put herself out there and tried to help others. I hope she was reunited with her son. 😢😢😢
fyi written by Prince. she was a rebel back in the day
The story goes that he sent her flowers with just two words on the card: Thank you
She was a Rebel alright when she tore the pic of the Pope on SNL. The beginning of the end. Literally. Lol.
@@saiyongdawn7756 Yeah, an end that had 8 more studio albums after it. Such a terrible end, lmao.
@@BearODice She was never able though to reach the height of her first Album. Plus she received a lot of negative press which she brought on herself. .
Yes, written by the legendary Prince, who gave away lots of great songs that other artists went on to make hits.
Do you boys know PRINCE wrote this song!!! That man was a musical genius and BEAST!! Sinead is Irish!!
Came here to say this. :)
There’s also a version of the song that Prince sings. 🎶
Caroline Brown-Qualls ...Yes. That's because it his song that he wrote, and she sang a beautiful version of it. 🎶
@@nikir9177 Yes, I know...I’m one of his biggest fans!! He was such a musical genius! 🤗🥰🎶
Man he writes everything, I’m so sad we didn’t get to hear his unreleased stuff
She legitimately cried in this video singing this song. It shows how emotionally connected she was to what she was singing
She said it always reminded her of her mother who died when she was 18 😢
She actually sang that song to her extremely abusive child-abusing mother. Hence the real tears in the video. She died when Sinead was 18, but had quit abusing them before that and denied all the beatings and the sexual abuse. Yet still Sinead was tied to her because humans are wired to seek their mother's love.
She’s Irish!! Loved this song growing up. You guys have a 50 year old woman as fans!!
... and a 63 year old man
54 here!
@@cindychastain1702 love these guys , you can tell they were raised right
And a 55 years old - 80's Music is the Best👍👍👍
57 here and been a fan for awhile!
Back then her haircut was just a huge deal. Scandalous! Everybody talked about it! But this girl could do ANYTHING with her voice. It could sound breathy, like a flute, then it could go straight into something strong like a trumpet. She was just beautiful, and her voice was AMAZING. She has had a hard, strange time since then. This is still an amazing song, and she did an even better job with it than Prince did. And I love everything Prince did.
Agree!!!!
Hold ya horse, no one beauts Prince and Rosie Gaines. Then Chris COnnerly. Then Sinead
Have you heard You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart? Another great, emotional performance.
Her head was shaved at least a few years before this song. What I remember is she did it because she didn’t want to be objectified for her looks as a young woman.
Plus it was the first time someone cried on a popular music video.
Oh and I recall her saying that she was thinking of her mother when she sang about the flowers dying when she went away.
We love some Sinead O'Connor.. she had more ball than anyone to know what was going on and got in trouble for some action that she did.. but we owe her an apology because she exposed truth in her action. You deserve a medal girl 🏅
Beautifully said
"girl what he tell ya?" 🤣
I love how you guys get so emotionally invested in such music that most kids your age would turn their nose up to.
You guys have united people from every age, every race, every religion and brought us together through your love and appreciation for music. You are infectious! ❤️❤️❤️
Keep doing you!! ❤️❤️🎶🎶
Man, Prince could write a song.
...as DOES Sinead!
@@enricovankeeken9503
Yeah but she didnt write this one.
This is Princes song, recorded without his permission.
@@luistrevino355 Really? Well... I'll tell you something else. On HER album this prince song is my Least favorite!
And Sinead could sing one.
Yes!!!
That’s not country that is a very typical Irish singing sound...Like a wail/warble.
Yes, I am glad you told them! Irish not country!
I about died when they said “country” 😂😂😂
@@ZannaDu They are young and have a lot to learn! I did too! Love your name!
That’s Irish soul
Tina Stoecker I agree. I love how open they are to different genres of music though. My grandson and I love watching them!!
Thank you on the name comment 😃
Her voice gives me goosebumps every time I hear this song
Yes ❤
Another beautiful song written by Prince. Her voice was perfect for this one. 👏💕
One of the only songs I prefer as a cover ( it hurts my heart to say that, I very big loved Prince)
The other was Whitney singing " I Will Always Love You" again, I'm sorry because I love Dolly
Wow i forgot about that
She was very good at covers...Elton John Loretta Lynn, Kurt Cobain, van Morrison..patty lupone..
This prayer is NOT written by Prince, but by St. Francis of Assisi.
@ulla5330 what prayer are you talking about?
The rest of us are talking about the song "Nothing Compares To You".
That’s the Irish twang you heard, she’s from Ireland. You need to listen to this live, she actually sounds better live in my opinion! Also prince wrote this song!
Nope she wrote it. He bought it
Sophie Shinning what are you talking about? the song was written and composed by prince for his side project “the family” in 1985. sinéad o’connor released her cover in 1990. prince then released his own version in 1993.
@@camilladyrefrank it wasn't the same song at all. Nothing to do.
Sophie Shinning same song. of course she performed it different to the original, that’s what you do when making a cover.
Sophie Shinning Sinead covered the song.
And...Prince wrote this song. The man!!
That’s right!!
This one hits ya right in the soul! Goosebumps and tears!
Oh that's right, I forgot about that!
And now she is manic depressive... done lots of crazy stuff since she got older
Prince's version from Originals is very good!
And Prince wrote this song. This song was made for this woman!
Beautiful voice with her Irish accent in this song written by Prince. The tears were real as she had recently lost her mother (with whom she had a difficult relationship) and dedicated this to her. She had troubles in her adult life and after she recently lost her son, she was hospitalized for major depression due to her grief. It's widely believed that after she got out, she took her own life. She was the real deal. R.I.P., Sinéad O'Connor. 💔
Song was written by the master. PRINCE
And they should review the Prince version.
They should definitely check out Prince's version.
Didn't know.. thamks
IMO Prince's version & Chris Cornell version much better than hers Not a fan of hers.
tawnyad they already have! Then everyone asked them to check this one out. I personally prefer this to the original. It’s got more emotional depth for me.
My boyfriend was killed in a car accident just as this song was hitting the airwaves. His family played this song at his funeral. It tore me up, and still does. Rest in peace Duane. I still remember...
So sad and such a poignant song. Special times in those days too. Xx
This is also the song that I latched onto after my husband died two years ago. I cry every time I hear it.
Bless you sweetheart
I was grieving the end of a great love affair at that time. The song's rawness matched my own loss perfectly at the time. Will never forget.❤
💞
Prince wrote this song Sinead sure did it justice. Great voice real talent beautiful soul.
This is the best version of this song, IMHO. Listening to her back when this came out and to this day invokes so many emotions in me. Her voice just blows me away. There's a reason this was the World's #1 single in 1990.
Yeah, she's Irish, & this song was written by Prince, & she was young - just 23 years old when she recorded & released this one.
Yep, and she was ostracized by the entertainment industry for ripping a poster of the Pope on SNL. They really did her wrong.
This song and Sinead in general have a great deal of history. She is from Ireland and pretty much sacrificed her career by calling out the Pope at the time for covering up pedophilia within the Catholic Church. Quite the scandal back then (check out the video of her tearing up the pope’s picture). She’s been through hell in her life, abused both mentally and physically. The song was also written by Prince.
People got so angry about the Pope thing they talked about beating her up:
_Sinead O'Connor performed an a cappella cover of Bob Marley's "War" on Saturday Night Live on October 3, 1992, rewriting a few of the lyrics to address child abuse, in addition to the song's initial topics of racism and the horrors of war.
As she finished the song, she produced and tore to shreds a photograph of Pope John Paul II, shouting, "Fight the real enemy!"
In his opening monologue the following week while hosting SNL, actor Joe Pesci insisted that had he been in charge of the show, he would have given O'Connor "such a smack." This echoed an event from the previous year when O'Connor insisted that the National Anthem not be played before her concert at a venue in New Jersey. Frank Sinatra, while performing at that same venue the next night, threatened to "kick her ass."
And Jonathan King, a millionaire British television and record producer, and the executive producer of the BPI Awards, stated in an interview with Billboard that she needed to be spanked for her display of bad manners. Ten years later, King would be convicted of several counts of sexual assault on 14- and 15-year-old boys and sentenced to seven years in prison_

Jacob Junge n
@@Jacob_Junge I thought her performance was brilliant. I understood her because several children I grew up with were abused by priests. This was covered up and perpetuated for generations. Unfortunately it happens in many religious groups, not only within the Catholic Church. It's a horror that needs to be stopped. Sinead was a big help in bringing this to light.
I remember her tearing up the Pope's picture on Saturday Night Live in. That was very awkward.
@@Jacob_Junge Exactly.....
RIP Sinead. She was laid to rest today ❤
Hearing about her death this song is even sadder than before. May she rest in eternal peace
God bless Sinead O’Connor. She was sadly misunderstood. Now she goes by the name of Shuhada' Sadaqat and is a practicing Muslim. I hope she’s found her peace. ❤️
❤❤
I hope she watches this 💕
Yea she was pretty possed at the pope
She also had abuse by her mother but still wanted her mothers love after she died ..
She tried to warn us of child sexual abuse by priests. She ripped up a picture of the pope because she felt the Catholic Church aristocracy was complicit. She was despised for it 😡
Thank you for introducing a whole new audience to Sinead. She is one of the greatest.
Prince was an incredible songwriter. Please remember he wrote this.
True, but even Prince agreed that Sinead performed it in a way beyond how he originally heard it. This happens sometimes in songwriting. Bob Dylan wrote "All Along The Watchtower" but Jimi Hendrix breathed life into it in a way beyond Dylan's mind. Leonard Cohen wrote "Hallelujah" but Jeff Buckley took it beyond Cohen's vision. Sometimes the songwriter and the song performer are both needed for a song to reach its full potential.
Prince performed this song 10 times better....
@@anthonylee5982 thank goodness opinions aren't facts 👍
Actually I could see that. I smell prince all over this
Always
One of Prince's. Miss him and his music greatly.. genius. She sang that beautifully. Blew us all away at the time.. We had never seen anything like that. Maybe Annie Lenoox a close but different sort of voice and great on her own right... Sonaed O'connor had a tough childhood. The girl did good. ❤❤
She's Irish but Country music has Irish influences. Appalachia was populated by Irish and Scottish immigrants that brought that singing style with them. She does have at least one Country style song and did a duet with Willie Nelson.
I was once told that people in Appalachia often understand Shakespeare more readily than many in “today’s world”; that their speech has been protected from outside speech influences. You can find many stories passed down with the sing-song cadence of these people. It’s quite impressive.
And the Irish LOVE country music.
Prince wrote this song
Yes!
The greatest country singer ever Johnny Cash traced his roots back to Fife in Scotland, he was very proud of that fact. Americas deep south white people could all trace their roots back to Scotland, indeed most country singers could.
Country music as a whole was basically all decended from Scottish folk music, not Irish. Hillbillies all decended from Scotland and they took folk music and tweeked it to what you see today.
Sinead O’Connor is a force of nature she shook my heart when I was 16 years old I’m 50 now and she still shakes it today. She’s one hell of a woman it’s sad that she doesn’t see what all her fans see. Best thing Prince ever done was let her sing his song and I love Prince he went way to early 🙏
Yes he did. A true genius. I shed one tear for him. Such a variety of music. A little of everything
R i p
I was explaining I discovered Sinead O’Connor when I was 16. I never said I was 16 when she had a hit with this song. Glad you agree it’s a great song
@@katrinaklapproth8788 he didn't, prince hated this version and talked about that publicly multiple times. the record company let her do this cover without prince's knowledge or approval.
even though i like prince's renditions better, i still think this is a magnificent performance of this song.
Same!
He didn't let her. She took it and recorded it without his permission. He wasn't thrilled about it.
I love watching you guys reacting to songs that were my songs back in the day. It is always bittersweet, because those days are gone, but it’s especially bittersweet this time because she too is now gone. A tragic day, July 26, 2023. I pray you are in a long deserved peace sweet angel sinead!
Never gonna forget the first time I've listened to this song...more than 30 years ago ...and her voice still gives me goose bumps.
What most kids nowadays can't imagine is how many of us were deeply in love with Sinead back then. Some of us still are.
She represents truth, selflove after much work on self... So much #he suffered,some of us are ment to suffer..
Totally.
Eeeewwwwwww she had only one song written by PRINCE and was a freak!
@@donnakawana masochist. No one is made to suffer. We're made to live a good life.
@@mujathepaganprepper7610 nope lil girl she had many songs . Prince wrote one for her that went #1... Read before you comment... Lol
Absolutely adore you two! FINALLY!!!! One I’ve begged for!!!!! Now, I just need you to react to GEORGE MICHAEL “FATHER FIGURE.”
YES!!
Yessy
Or One More Try 😊
@@Julieroo28 Now that George is gone, One More Try makes me misty.
L G I can no longer listen to a few of his songs. He was my favorite singer. 😢
In case you guys did not know..she just died today....may she rest in peace...her talent will be remembered forever
I agree these two guys are amazing. Their sincere reactions to all types of music. If my daughters were younger I'd introduce them to these two!
Lol. Seriously
She's Irish and was quite controversial in her heyday.
The sleeper, because she dared to speak out against the Pope for covering up so much sexual abuse! She cared about her morals more than her fame...I was proud of her then, and still am.
@@jackandpiper Yes, I knew that, and I always felt sympathetic to her for her own demons she was fighting. I think she had some mental health challenges.
Have you listened to R.E.M "everybody hurts" it's along these same lines. But we are all going through it together. Very powerful.
Your talking like they dont know who she is,
She was ultimately proven right !
Literally can’t listen to that without crying. What a performance.
yup, Sinead is freaking brilliant....She has a new song out right now also. Really pretty
@@michellewilliams8161 Wait. What?!?!? Do not play with my emotions. Really? Thank you for this information. I'm going to find it right now!
Same , this song gets me every time.
That is one emotional ride!😭
Michelle Williams Okay I ran to iTunes but cannot find it in new music. Help!
Prince wrote this song. Performed beautifully. ♥️
She is so unique. It is part of her appeal and always was. Such a haunting voice and personality!
Prince wrote the HELL out of this song, but Sinéad absolutely KILLED it. I love Prince's original demo, and his live performance with Rosie Gaines, but this right here? Damn. Sinéad's voice just chills me to the bone.
Ever heard the original album recording? This song was already perfect when The Family recorded it. Every subsequent version is just building on that.
@@tinkdnuos thanks for mentioning the Family. Many think Prince wrote it for Sinead. Though I love this version. I want people to know its history
The best part is the guys may not realize they actually did the live version of this song 10 months ago sung by Prince, who wrote the song, and Rosie Gaines. Remember you noticed the Batmobile? ☮️💟
@Haiji Toro You and I both!
She’s from Ireland 🇮🇪 boys. She does have an accent just not country.
Shoot, what if she's from the countryside in Ireland tho?
Many parts of the Southern US accent are brought to you by the good people of Ireland. We all came from somewhere.
@@ladiesbane that is historically inaccurate
I thought that was cute of them
Irish with attitude, amen.
You can really tell Prince wrote this song. He's all over it. She's a fantastic performer and will be missed, she's with Prince now in concert heaven.
Beautiful woman, loving mother, angelic soul and amazing talent. Glad you guys heard this legend and you enjoyed.
She does look young because she was. This was written by Prince, she taped this in 1990, she was 23. She is an Irish pop singer, not country. Thanks for the reaction! ✌️
She was/is one of the most gorgeous women around. You can only rock a shaved head when you have that kind of face.
Angelic.
And voice!
All these years later I see Natalie Portman-Keira Knighly resemblance. Of course they ware probably toddlers when this came out
Incredible to hear her speak on Dr. Phil
The reason she shaved her hair was due to her mom (who was abusive) told her sister Sinead had the most beautiful hair and not her sister (somewhere along those lines) so she shaved her head.
Brian Miller I can see the resemblance (are we sure Portman and Knightley aren’t the same person?). But Sinead’s got those light eyes. ❤️
This whole album got me through the most horrible points of my life. I honestly don't think I would be here now if I hadn't had this album.🐾
This song gives me chills Everytime ♥️
That was the 'relationship gone bad' anthem of the early 90s, Sinead's angst spoke to many a broken heart.
True! I actually marked my calendar for the 7th hour of the 15th day after my first boyfriend broke up with me just to really break myself. (Oh to be 15 again, LOL)
Yeees...Alanis, Melissa Etheridge, Jewel, Cranberries
😭 tears!
“She’s crying!” God..I love that. That’s how we all felt the first time we saw this video. Like, she’s really crying! Such a great reaction to this iconic song.
This video was filmed just after she had broken up with her boyfriend(?
Interesting that Prince (or his band) wrote this song. Always heard she wrote this for her mother. I guess she must have said sang it for her mother (after her mom died). Gives a much different meaning to the song when you listen to the lyrics.
@@nomoresnacks I think it was just after her mother had died. The bit
‘all the flowers that you planted in the backyard, momma,
died when you went away’
was apparently what got to her.
@@nomoresnacks it was also soon after her mothers death and they had a very difficult relationship. She really was dealing with a lot. of personal things during the filming of this video...that tear was real. Ppl day it wasn't but it you watch it closely you see her eyes welling up several times earlier until she finally just let it go.
I love the way you play different types of music. I love the way you make all of us happy, young, old, black, white. You two make this world a better place.❤️❤️
You have the best reaction to this beautiful woman's voice. You need to watch her sing this in concert. Love and peace always.
Congrats on the Kelly Clarkson interview and her invitation to you for the Music Billboards award!! I bet your beyond excited!! Now, please I need a Fleetwood Mac attack!! Gypsy, Rhiannon, The Chain, Dreams, ALL BANGERS!!
You two black brothers with a platform use it right and don’t be afraid God got you here for a reason. congratulations 🖤🖤🖤
Another great one written by Prince. RIP 🖤🎹🎶🦋
This song was written by GOAT Prince and sung by Sinead an amazing artist in her own right. We miss you both very much. RIP
This song and the way she sings it still gives me shivers. Haunting, heartbreakingly beautiful.
I was 13 when this song came out and man did me and my best friend need this song at that time 😍😍
@@nashang75 Me, too!
Dopamine all day
No one can do this song justice other than her.
@@sakattt how about the original singer of it?
Prince wrote this song, so listen to the G.O.A.T.’s version of the song you will not be disappointed 💜 RIP Prince
Sneads version is the best and was an enormous hit just like the Bangles version of Manic Monday also written by Prince,Princes version of both not as good as those 2 covers hence the huge hits they had with both those Prince songs
They did 7 months ago.
I’ve been seeing this term GOAT lately. What does it mean?
@@marcilk7534 greatest of all time
Single and loving it. That makes sense! Thanks!
She was singing the song to her very abusive mother. The tear was for her mom.
Thank you gentlemen for playing that song just beautiful❤
she’s a dublin lady who has had had a very hard life she’s a strong 💪 irish woman we got you girl ❤️
Prince wrote this song. She sung it for her, “momma.”
“All the flowers you planted, Momma, in the back yard, all died when you went away.” Hence her walking around the grave yard.
Fantastic reaction !!!
That's the saddest line ever written :-(
@@jayteegamble yes it is the saddest line ever
Nice story, but that line is actually in the Prince version, not just the Sinead version.
Prince didn't like her singing this! 🤷♀️😖
Prince wrote this and that line was about his housekeeper (who was probably more of a friend than an employee), who resigned to have more time with her family, who used to put flowers by his piano...
or something like that.
This brought back all the memories and the feels. Her arrangement,her voice and Prince’s writing make my heart ache. I was so young then. She was ahead of her time. Took on the church and cried out on SNL and we watched in awe. Her enigmatic life will always be a fascination to me.
She was amazing.... I'm 51 and started listening to her in the 80s
Love you guys.
Nothing compares to you!
WELL SAID !!!
True that!! 😀
These boys have not been heartbroken, this song goes to another level you when have. They appreciated it, indeed loved it, but didn’t feel that as though their heart had been broken.
yeah, I get that. But she actually talks/ sings about the loss of her mother.
But I guess you could also interpret it as a heartbreak :)
Nora Noelle indeed it is, I thought how innocent and sweet that they hadn’t been heartbroken. It’s not a derogatory comment just that they so obviously hadn’t been heartbroken.
@@dianeshelton9592 Same. I want to see the reaction video after they've lived through some heartbreak, I don't think they know what's she's talking about
taogoat27 well yes but I don’t want them heart broken. I like the hope and innocence of pain.
diane shelton oh yes, you’re definitely right!!!
It is so good to see younger folks taking a minute to appreciate music that my generation grew up with. 😊🙌🏻 Sinead O'Connor's version of this song is GOAT.
Spectacular .. RIP Sinead and Princie.. song written by Prince of course..
When Sinéad cries in this song, so do I. So glad you enjoyed it. She is an incredible, talented woman, firm in her convictions and incredibly brave. Worthy of respect.
This song still gives me chills 30 years later. Sinead was/ is strikingly beautiful. She did a fabulous job with Prince's song. I am surprised that you guys did not know that this was not written by him! The "2 U" in the title should have been a major clue!
He let her have it. He wrote it for a1985 project.
Me too
She did even More so with Massive Attack!
I have chills as we speak...!
You typed that it wasn't written by Prince. It WAS written by Prince! And the 79 people who liked this comment can't catch an obvious error. Jesus!
🙏🏽Rip Mrs O’Connor❤ I grew up with this song always on the radio such a beautiful person such a beautiful song 🙏🏽
Sinead was a big hit when I was in college, and as a slightly Irish person I really identified with her, and since I’m from Minneapolis the Prince connection was very important to me. The pair of you remind me so much of some of my former students (I’m a retired art teacher,) and some how your reactions were very special and meaningful to me. Thank you.
You should listen to You Outta Know by Alanis Morissette.
Was thinking this exact thing
I want to see that reaction video!
I’ve requested that song many times. I’m hoping they will listen to it soon!
Oh my god they haven't hit Alanis Morissette yet? Oh god that will be fun to see. The whole damn album was fantastic. But definitely you outta know...
@@gailremp8389, one of the only albums that I actually listen to every song! Can't wait, my daughter is taking me to see her next summer. (I hope) She got the tickets for mothers day and the concert was in Aug. Of course it was canceled, it has been rescheduled for 2021. This album was pretty much my daughters introduction into rock. She was 4 and she still has it on her playlist to this day.
Prince wrote the song, and let a completely unknown Irish girl use it on her debut. I always loved that about it.
She was not unknown and this wasn’t her debut. Perhaps it was this song that was her breakthrough in the U.S., but in Europe she had already made the deepest impression with her debut album ‘The Lion and the Cobra’, and its stunning lead single ‘Troy’ in late 1987 that I think is even greater than this brilliant Prince cover.
He also didn't let her record it, his record label did, unbeknown to Prince.
Prince hated this version and has been very vocal on it in the past.
@@sperrin I wasn’t specifically aware of that. What I do recall is Sinead saying she went to meet Prince, and he was aggressively dismissive of her, so much so that she left, feeling very distraught. That did sorta give it away, of course..
"Her first album The Lion and the Cobra was "a sensation" when it was released in 1987[13] and it reached gold record status and earned a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin%C3%A9ad_O%27Connor
@@flowerpink724 Yeah, I remember that now, too. What an effed up experience that must have been for Sinead. :-(
Sinéad was young in this video indeed. She was only 22-23 years old. Her voice and singing were astounding. Her soul and personality were brilliant.
Prince wrote this for her 💜 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 And he sang it himself later ❣To add ::
You two make me tear up even more watching your empathetic response 😢
What I like about the twins is their capacity for empathy, which adds to their appreciation of music. They get it. They feel it. The respond emotionally. ❤️
Yes! I completely agree 💗
Oh shit they twins
Yeah and they enjoy it i like that you know? My respect for this guys
Oh them you need to hear Jayvaugh's reactions at Jayvee TV channel. He is so authentic and gets taken away by the songs
That’s what musics all about. Feeling the words.
That “country” in her voice is traditional Irish singing. It’s amazing. There’s an Irish movie “The Commitments”. It’s a band with a sound called Dublin Soul, they point out that the Irish are the black folks of Europe.
Omg the Commitments!!! What a movie, I'm gonna have to rewatch that later
@@krissielundy9934 Right?! Classic! My favorite part is when the back up singers are getting yelled at for using their Irish accents! “It’s ride Sally RIDE! Not riot Sally RIOT!”
The movie Song Catcher is awesome also. It’s about the origins of the songs of the Appalachian Mountain people coming from songs brought over by Irish immigrants. Bluegrass began with these folk songs of old Ireland.
blue eyed soul
I love that movie 🍿🎥!!
I absolutely love this song and the beautiful voice of Sinead O'Connor!
She was 21 years old in this video. Fun fact this video and the song were both done in one take. I love the reactions in this video. You guys felt it the way we felt it in the 90s when she debuted. ❤
This made me think of two potential songs: Chris Isack “Wicked Games” and Alanah Miles “Black Velvet”
Both so good but Black Velvet gets me to stop every time. That gravely voice..
Agree!!
Ooh yeah, Black Velvet is fire
Yeah, 'Wicked Games' with sexy Helena Christensen on the beach in Herb Ritts' B/W video! Still on top over most sexiest videos of all time (MTV) :)
Yes to both of these, but definitely Wicked Games first.
I forgot how great her voice is. That song was EVERYTHING. Prince was a genius🙌🏽🙌🏽 Masterful songwriting skills. He has the ability to tell a story in such a way that you can actually see the lyrics & watch the story unfold. I’m probably not explaining exactly what I mean but Raspberry Beret is an example. One of my favorite songs. 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Plus he tried to beat up Sinead
Prince is a legend.
Aw come on you, Prince a genius? I could've written that song easy, simple lyrics.
He truly was a genius. I mourn him still. Gone too soon.
I would never call Sinead anything close to country! My heart is still broken that she is no longer alive. I’ve loved her music since I was a kid. This song shows nothing of her true talent! She could do so much more than sing. She could sang! Lol when her powerful voice came out it was mind blowingly amazing!
I think what they were hearing was traditional Irish music and singing styles which had a lot of influence on American country and folk music in some parts of the US, especially in places like Appalachia.
This song was massive in the uk when I was a teenager in the 80s…..best time ever being a teenager. Music was so diverse then
