Damn fam!!! Sorry to hear that!! You gotta be super super careful. You don't wanna get your channel taken down. These mofos at Youboob are pieces of 💩💩💩💩
She was traumatized , abused in every way by her mother and the catholic church in Dublin Ireland . She also still loved her mother and in this song , she misses her mother , her mother died in 85 in a car crash . This angel is truly one of a kind youal❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤❤❤❤❤
She's wearing a black turtleneck, standing against a black background, wearing minimal makeup, shaved head. She wants you to focus on her voice, the music, the song. She was very beautiful back then, she doesn't want you distracted by her beauty. Catch her live video, it's great.
I saw an interview where she was saying that the original vid concept wasn't going to be so solely focused on her, She didn't say it directly but it was clear she just had the filmers mesmerised by her and they kept the focus on her.
Hi Christine, It was also a protest against the record Companies who were just hiring pretty little things who couldn't sing but looked good, a truly great performer & great singer
That was in the back of my mind when I began shaving my head 5 years ago. I wanted to put focus on my personality, but it actually resulted in my getting dm'ed by guys who found me attractive because of my haircut.
I cannot make it through this video without crying. So beautiful and genuine. I read somewhere that it took several takes to make the video because she kept breaking down. Don’t know if that’s true or not but much respect for Sinead for her integrity!! Absolutely beautiful voice!! One of the best!! 🥲❤️
Her voice is incredible absolutely incredible. She passion and power. Yes this was a huge song and of course billboard number one. Written by Prince and rumor says he was jealous how well her version did
I just wish he had responded in the same way Dolly Parton did when Whitney Houston covered her song "I Will Always Love You". Nothing but joy and gratitude...
Her first two albums "Lion & The Cobra" and "I do Not Want What I Haven't Got" are amazing masterpieces and deeply affecting. There isn't a bad song on them.
Lost my wife after 35yrs 10 days ago to cancer I know how it fills i think I will have permanent tear in my eye. Make sure you everybody you care about you love them because they may not be there tomorrow..great reaction to a great song my friends
Such an emotionally moving & beautiful song. Sinead O"Connor has a truly unique and melodic voice. I used to listen to this when it first came out & still do...Prince did write it but she was the perfect artist on this! Take care guys!
This songs just bleeds emotion. I’m 46 and can remember listening to it back when it came out. Exact same emotions I had then I have now. Brings back memories.
Agreed, Sinead O'Connor is an absolutely incredible vocalist. This is a cover song but she pretty much made it her own, this is a masterpiece of a song.
@@vickiejenkins-tripp5994 You are absolutly right, But it was not Prince himself, given it to her. It was his manager, who later on became Sinead's manager. Prince started singing his version live, after Sinead became famours with the song. Prince never wanted Sinead to sing it, because he did not like her attitude. When he first met her a few years later, they got in to a real fight, and Sinead must ran to the next door neighbor. Sinead's version was number 1 on Top 100 song chart in 1990.
If you like her voice, listen to "Troy". That song she wrote herself. Listen to it without interruptions, because it's building up. Her voice is unearthly good in that song.
This amazing Sinead song is more than 30 years old. I have heard it literally hundreds of times. And the power and soul of her voice still makes me cry in 2021....
That was the line that got me - All the flowers . . . when my mother died and I remembered the roses and our yard and how it was long gone . . . I can't get through that line without it cutting like a knife.
Troy is the greatest love song ever written. Beats hallelujah for me hands down. I would have loved Jeff Buckley to get a hold of Troy but he passed disgustingly too soon.
The part of the song "All the flowers that you planted mama, in the backyard" "all died when you went away".. that part hits hard... to everyone who has heard this song.
Keen observation bro. Sinead O'Connor has since said in interviews that she had many issues with her mother growing up. So, that's dope that you picked up on that. 👌🏽
Wow, you guys are pretty smart. She didn't open up about this song for the longest time, like pretty much until very recently, and her mom was mentally ill, and very very abusive to her, and she said of her mother that she ran a "torture chamber" and also sexually abused her. Despite all of the horrific abuse at her mother's hands, she said that she loves her mother (who was killed in a car accident when she was 19) and forgave her. I'm sorry that you lost your mom, you're very young, and my heart goes out to you. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.
I’ve been listening to every DJ playing her song.Apart from losing her mother,who was very abusive towards her,she also lost her son a year ago.She was iconic.
Original song was written by Prince, then Sinead covered it and Prince tried to get it blocked because she sang the fuck out of it then Chris Cornell covered it. This bitch was bad long before Cornell thought of doing this song. Sinead is one of the greatest singers of the 20th century.
No. Prince WROTE it. Gave it to Sinead to use and sing. He never performed it. And as for anyone else trying to cover this, GOOD LUCK. This will never be touched. Ever. Don't even try to improve this. Impossible. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@GetOnTheFloor82 Actually the original version put out by Prince's protégé band The Family crushes this. The musical arrangement alone with strings is miles ahead of this.
Sinéad O'Connor rocked the world with this song, all the way back in 1991. You guys are amazing, and especially you Kae, for reaching out to her about her low self-esteem and you'd talk her back to health again. Amazing. Everybody has heartbreaking losses (if you never have, please contact me: I'd love to meet someone who's escaped this hail of bullets.) and we need songs like this for those times.
Prince 💜 wrote it, Sinead, pronounced shin-aid, blew it up!! She had a very tragic upbringing and her rebellious nature took over. But what a voice. Love your channel!! 👍
She got crazy popular after performing this song (written by Prince). Then, on SNL (Saturday Night Live), in protest to all of the children abused by priests in the Catholic church, she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II. Everyone turned on her and it killed her career. There's another video of her performing with Kris Kristopherson. When she came out on stage the entire crowd booed her. She stood defiant, sang a different song called War, then broke down on her way off stage as Kris held her. She had a troubled life growing up, abused by her mother, and after this her life basically fell apart. She says she has bipolar disorder. Married four times, addicted to marijuana for 30 years, attempted suicide. Converted to Islam in 2018. As of a week ago, November 10, 2020 she said she's entering a year long rehab and postponing her 2020 concerts. "This year I lost someone beloved and has affected me so badly that I became briefly addicted to a drug other than weed."
Ireland has a tough history of oppression, great hunger, emigration, etc... and Irish are extremely musical. One thing I think Irish do probably better than anyone is to express deep, deep sorrow in a uniquely haunting Irish way. You can really hear that in Sinéad's vocals... She is ripped apart, and crying out but still so incredibly beautiful with an Irish lilt.
The story I heard was her mum had died. This came out when I was heartbroken over a guy. Love Sinead 💗 good reaction. Please react to her music video for her song “Mandinka”.
Sinead O Connor , most Angelic Irish singer that I have ever heard and beautiful inside and out , she was traumatized all her life , down to losing her 17 old son to suicide . Prince wrote the song but Sinead opened Heaven with her voice in it ❤❤❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love me sum Sinead . Youal should do her Troubles of the world video 😉❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I hope that one day each of you do love someone so much that losing them would completely wreck you. Love freely with your whole being. And may that love last a lifetime.
This song was written years before she sang it, by another person (Prince). So it has nothing to do with her. I'm a huge Prince fan, but Sineads version is the best.
Her name is pronounced Shin-ade. The song was written by Prince, The reason she tears up when she sings the lyric mother is because she had a horrific relationship w/ her mother and it hit her when she sang that!
Chris Cornell made it acoustic version of this song which was written by the artist Prince. It brought me to tears with its depth of emotion. The prince version was almost papash and in a strange way almost Happy. Sinead O'Connor's version did not move me. If you do review Chris's version of the song please do the Sirius XM station sessions. He also did the songs nearly forgot my broken heart and fell on Black Days. They will bring you to tears. I would really love to see what Miss Livy thinks of Chris Cornell. With respect always to you both Brant Heavner. 😊😊
