Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Live). First Time On My Channel 

💯.

Yep! She actually was a devout Catholic at the time and wanted to save the church. The protest on SNL was poorly executed and received badly of course. The scandal had already broke in Ireland and the church/pope was busy hiring lawyers, taking out insurance lawsuits to cover lawsuits, and shipping the pedo priests out of the country s they couldn't be summoned to court. Of course the US MSM didn't cover any of that, so Americans were clueless of it all and only saw an angry woman attacking the church. It it were today she would have had a media handler to get out in front of it and explain it all, and not let her be perceived as some hateful religious bigot, but of course it wasn't today. She paid a heavy, heavy price for it, and so did a lot of people who never have heard all the GREAT music she did beyond this song. I would not even rate this song in her top 10.

Her son Shane was 17 when he took his life in January 2022.

@@Londubh1 my bad

Yeah and her mum passed when Sinéad was 18. But totally agree with you on everything else

It was live on Saturday Night Live, and it was not part of the performance. There used to be standards of conduct, before the western world was consumed by narcissism.

100% accurate.

her albums are magnificent.

Amen!!!!!!!! This generation 😢 just doesn't "get/hear it." It's a shame 😢.

@@charlenegodbee1202 Yes it's a shame. Music has gone down hill.

Danny Boy ..she sings perfectly .. that beautiful Irish sound. She could do it all

hmmm i'm not sure this is the bel canto technique, I'm trained in bel canto, she has a very "free"way of singing compare to a stricts bell canto training, but I could be wrong:)

​@@asenka11 True. Sinéad was trained in bel canto years after this performance

That's what I said. Troy is my favorite!!!

discovered her recently. incredible artist.

Child rape and abuse scandal of the Christian Churches in the World

That was the first set up she fell for and was punished for but she harder cancel of her career was when she denounced child abuse by the way Church

Check out her album "The Lion and the Cobra". It's fantastic from beginning to end. And this is coming from a metalhead - the fact is that she was an incredibly talented artist with a beautiful, expressive voice and tremendous artistic integrity. She did her own thing regardless of what others thought of it, and I have great respect for that, as well as for her talent.

She had 10 albums and earned £10 million, half of which she gave away because it wasn’t about fame and riches, she wanted to be seen as a protest singer. She was cancelled by mainstream due to tearing up the popes picture in protest. Her autobiography Remembering’s, is v good

Firstly, this is Prince's doing but Sinéad made it hers. The significance of this song is that she had a turbulent relationship with her mother. Everytime she sang this song she envisioned her mother when she'd close her eyes. In the music video, tears rolled down her face in the beginning of the second verse. Real tears that just came about. Despite her relationship with her mother she adored her. Sinéad's mother didn't get to see her success as she passed in a car accident. But it's true, she isn't for everyone. That's why I've always quite fancied her. Perhaps one of my guiltiest pleasures in life is just losing myself while listening to her music, watching her music videos, interviews and performances.

She had many hits before this song and after. This song was recorded in 1990 and she had already been nominated for a Grammy in 1987
