Hearing Alanis Morissette, who is a great singer, almost struggling to keep up with Sinéad's vocal register and range really makes you realise what a truly gifted singer Sinéad was. She made it sound effortless when, in reality, what she did was extremely complex. Such a loss to the world. 💔
I'd say it was a great attempt for having little time to prepare, but I wouldn't say it was a struggle. Their registers were very similar. Judging from their styles back then, it's obvious Alanis was heavily influenced by Sinead's first album. We all get a little deeper with age.
@@mungofinalfi4480 Have you heard this version where both sing together. as far as I know they never sung together its a tribute from Sinead after Dolores died and someone on computer extracted Dolore´s voice from an old track and mixed it together ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3XstZjZAmLQ.html
Even though Alanis struggled with the higher parts of the song, she still gets full marks for even attempting it? And it was so great that the foo’s chose her to do the tribute to Sinead!
@@pedrouribe460 Dolores would have been fantastic as her voice soared especially in a live situation? Another great talent we lost way too soon R.I.P. Dolores💔😢
My thoughts too - for sure singing this song favors being 23 and high. However, my first musician’s instinct recognized that the song presented Alanis with key stress. Or, I think it was more of an intellectual problem (which key to singe in - how to navigate). I am sure, if Alanis had more time to navigate - she has the chops to cover all day all night.
@@afrose71 They were giving Alanis credit. It's a very difficult song to sing by a singer as good as Alanis. She did a good job but played it safe. I would have too!
Alanis still looks and sounds AMAZING….big fan of hers since “Jagged….” but, with love and the greatest respect, she’s out of her depth here…. this song proves how completely and utterly unique, talented, peerless and ahead of her time Sinead was. She could sing this effortlessly and I’ll wager even the highest paid and most adored superstars of today could never do it justice.
Great performance. Sinéad was a fantastic singer and musician, but I admire her most because she cared about people, injustice, and turned her own sorrows into an energy to help others. She will do well in the universe career.
Good job such a hard song to sing. One of my favorites! She made Sinead proud. Alanis is such a professional, and knows her own voice range limits. She sang it perfect within her own range. Sinead's voice range was off the charts loud and strong. Especially when she sang Mandinka, her voice was exceptional. Both have unique beautiful voices.
Sinead wrote that incredible song (amongst many!) with one of the most unique vocals wow! Listen to her live version of 'Troy' particularly in her elder year's. It will blow you away! Love Alanis too and great she did this tribute🙏💚🎶
So cool that they did that. Its the ultimate compliment when your peers play your music. Just for a very sad sad reason. Sinead’s voice and spirit lives on.
I feel badly for Alannis. These vocals are very very differant than her voice. She is getting older. Her voice is changing. As an older singer (62) I can attest how difficult it is. Sinead was Irish. Her songs work with her voice because they are IRISH. The Celtic tradition is strong.
@@tamarakonczal7975 You are 100% correct. It's brilliant of Alannis to even step up to attempt this. Seems like a simple song but in terms of power and range it's a big challenge. Shows us how good O'Connor was ☘
This was the song that got me into new wave/alternative or what ever you called it when I first heard it at 10....thank you O'Connor and you Foos with Alanis for letting me relive that feeling all over again. Be at peace Sinead. I do know Mandinka. So I will give you my heart.
This is the only video that gets me about her death..... Sinead had a hard time for her last years but in the early days she was punk as hell....who else would have the guts to do what she did on SNL.... I'm old enough to remember seeing it live & the absolute hatred she put up with after it
There is a lot of love in that arena for Sinead. Great vocal from Alanis Morissette and Foo's just love that guitar and drum rift, pure honest rock from the Legend Sinead O'connor.
So interesting. I mean, a tribute to Sinead O'Connor with Alanis Morissette makes so much sense, but they're stylistically so different and Mandinka (that whole album, really) made such a sonic impression on me when it came out that it took me awhile to just enjoy what Morisette was doing and not expect it to sound like the original. (I love covers, as a rule, and I love hearing artists put their own spin on them, so I guess it says something about how 'The Lion and The Cobra' landed on some of us back in the day.) (Also, I really enjoyed this once I got over myself.)
@@frankicardario 90s because Alanis, Foo Fighters and Sinéad were all popular in the ‘90s. You pay attention. Saying ‘80s is ridiculous when Alanis nor the Foo Fighters were performing then.
Where were all these people talking about the greatness of SInead when the world was treating her like shit? How many wrote to her and told her how much her music filled their life. The saddest part of Sinead, which she was very good putting into song, was that she felt alone. She was a voice in music that only comes along generationally or more. All she wanted was to put love into the world through song and get some back. RIP Barrd! ("Troy", is one of my favorite songs of all and , "The Lion and the Cobra", was one of my favorite albums, got me through some tough times)
Sinead sang from the depth of soul she had! She sang from the pain, hurt and injustice in this world and her own childhood. She was a magical warrior who fought every hormone in her body ! ! Drs failed her The industry failed her Her religion failed her Her mother failed her And yet she stood up and fucking fought!
Alanis, did do a fantastic job. Its not easy to follow Sinead’s vocals. Ive been trying to for years and the struggle is real. Fucking love her so much, she is most definitely my Angel. She can now see how much she meant to me all these years in unconditional love. Healing Room is so so healing..
Beautiful tribute! And it just so happens that I really love Sinead, Foo Fighters, and Alanis. It's wonderful that bands take the time to pay tribute to other musicians who have passed. OXOXOXOXOXOXOX
This was amazing just to see these great musicians come together to pay respects to Sinead. Always loved this song, and Sinead's vocals. A very sad loss. ❤
Great tribute and cover-you can really hear the influence she had on Alanis's Jagged Little Pill sound here. That said, I find it a little odd that everyone and their mother is lining up to pay tribute to Sinead when she was completely chewed up and spit out by the record industry and exiled from the culture at large, at least in the US. As Morrissey pointed out, she sold 7 million records for her label and they dropped her.
An artist of the highest caliber and the highest fucken status has left this dark, sad world… May the Universal Mother find comfort in eternity, fly Sinead, fly! You are free now!! 🐉🐉🐉
Preuve est faite que Sinéad est incomparable, elle seule pouvait faire des reprises en les sublimant, pas l'inverse. Sinéad, tu restes la meilleure, je t'aime ❤❤❤
Sinead used to fight the vocals out of herself physically you could see it live she'd close her body up for certain parts , Alanis done a great job here love them both
RIP if she only knew how many actually did love her forgave her and got her. What a brave girl if more people just listened instead of ignoring the the fact that all the bad and sickness was really happening as is today but has gotten worse.🎶 💝🙌🕊
Alanis surprisingly having a hard time with the song and she's only one who is actually comparable to Sinead. Just shows how special and gifted Sinead was....
I think the general consensus is- Alanis did a great attempt here. The biggest issue is the fact that she was just coming off a full show herself, and, being nearly 50 clearly doesn’t have as high of a range as sinead in her early 20s. I wholeheartedly believe though that alanis even 10 years ago would have had an almost flawless rendition simply due to her voice being higher, therefore this not being as much of a struggle
those who say that alanis is unable to reach that vocal range. Alanis is 49-years old now. In all fairness, the last time Sinead performed this song - in 1989, she was 23 at that time, according to public sources and youtube. Alanis also used to hit higher notes.
