Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2You 

A song Prince wrote, had a "side project" band of his perform/record, and was basically promptly forgotten about. Years later found by Sinead, who absolutely made it her own! And this rendition, like all of Vika's, is perfection.

Nothing like delivering a beautiful and sensitive interpretation of one of the most tender love songs ever written while wearing an awesome Slayer T-shirt.

That daring, seemingly off-key note in the opening bar resolves itself sublimely

Best piano rendition I've heard, perfectly captures O'Connors 'off' notes.

I don't even know how to comment on this. Falling so totally and deeply in love is hard when it ends for whatever reason. I'm so glad that you share a part of your loss with this cover x

From analogue to digital watch now. But your skill hasn’t changed and is still as passionate as your first upload

OMG!!! Nothing Compares 2you VIKA!

There is probably nothing in this world that could fill the void..... .....But your music is beautiful, and I'm sure he is still listening to every note that you play. 💜

It's so hard to heal a broken heart but I still love how you do it with your music. Keep your light shining as you always do. 🎹💎🎧

💕 Nothing compares to *_you_* 💕

Я, пожалуй, разбавлю ленту русским комментарием... Их здесь очень недостаёт) Спасибо тебе Вика за твоё творчество, которое наверняка вдохновляет множество людей... Во всех твоих видео чувствуется восхитительная песня твоей души, эмоции от которой невозможно описать словами...)))

I just found you tonight on youtube and I have already watched and loved 12 songs and I can't begin to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me already. I don't play half as well as you do but I'm really feeling your soul through your style and your song choices. Thank you for sharing your gift in this manner here on youtube. Please don't ever stop. I just read someone say they missed you. I would if you stopped as well. Much respect to the years you put into your craft to be able to play so well. Blessed indeed you are!

Thank you so much! Listening to you really helped me go through some hard times recently while I was in physical pain. It is also helping me fall in love with life again after losing my dad. What you do with the original songs makes me love many of them and the way you improve them in such a magical way makes me think and feel that I am able to do the same thing with my life!

. So many things can compare... Like ... A ray of sunlight making a small streak of a rainbow colors that brighten a whole sky full of clouds. Like .... A single unique snowflake holding a millions specks of those exact same colors. Like .... When we look closer at something and remember when we saw a whole universe in Orion's collar. Like ... well maybe ... maybe they don't even compare. So little I really know. I can tell you how little I know... I didn't even know how much I was missing hearing your heart until I heard this touching song ... and... for some reason... I cried. Vika, So nice to hear your beautiful playing. So nice sharing this and all the great pictures and so many parts of your life. Spasybi.

It's amazing how just sounds can convey so much meaning

This song breaks my old heart...

You are such a queen. I wish I had the words to tell you how much you’ve inspired me, an aspiring pianist, over the years. All I can say is, you’re one of the most talented people I’ve ever come across, and I hope you know how much your work means to other people. Keep rocking, Vika!👑🔥💞

Prince will forever be alive in my heart.

I don't know about the others but I'm not here for the setup, the background or because you are half-naked. I'm here for the music and the power of your arrangement. You trully have your niche.

The feeling you put into this one is amazing.

BEAUTIFUL . . . Absolutely BEAUTIFUL . . .

I had missed this covers of yours, always a true joy to discover late at night in order to loose onself in them for a while. Increidble work as always. Thank you for this

Thank you for being back here with us today! This song combined with the feeling you put into it... Is so devastatingly sad. The melody sounds kind of bittersweet if you set aside the lyrics, but then... heartbreaking. Sending you lots of fan love 💞 Nothing compares to you. Patiently waiting for your next cover.

Nice song to cross the midnight with. Thank you and please keep playing!

omg I've listen to a few piano covers here on youtube and this is the first one that sounds right. Thank you!

Been awhile since I've listened to a Vika piece. I absolutely love the PASSION you put into your playing. And I love those deep bass notes you keep reaching down for. Thank you Vika!

RIP Snead o'connor..amazing cover❤❤

From your heart to the keys . . . seamlessly . . . . . . . . you are truly special Vika. x

You are a concert pianist, Really Impressive how soft your notes are, I like the french park views in this tube

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.

So glad I found you a little while back. I could listen to you play for an eternity.. Greetings from Alaska and thank you for sharing. :) 💞💖💖💞

YOU, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, ARE INCREDIBLE!!

Omg Vika..The emotion you put into this one....i was never a big fan of Sinnead O'Connor , but...by golly the sound from those keys..the way you play it makes me hear her lamenting voice coming out straight from those chords....wow..

i love this song, i love very much this version instrumentale, thanks Vika

It's been seven hours and 15 days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want I can see whomever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing I said nothing can take away these blues 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me baby, where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every boy I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctor, guess what he told me Guess what he told me He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do" But he's a fool 'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you 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 Nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you

Omg amazing I'm so glad you're still doing videos!!!

Rio de Janeiro is waiting for you !

🦋Big love from New Orleans Louisiana 🍃StephopalOpal aka Big Mama..beautiful

Как всегда мурашки по коже от исполнения

😢❤ beautifully played

So happy to see you back to covers! I honestly think you're the first channel I've subscribed to ten years ago, since then you've always been a reference to me and still are amongst the very best pianists we can find around here. Your work is impressive and I have a lot of respect and admiration for your talent. I hope you're doing well and wish you the best.

Thank you Vika for making such a wreck of me...on a Friday night... I know you posted your video yesterday, but I didn't go ahead and click on it right away because, knowing how you do your covers...i knew what this one was was gonna do to me.. But I had to watch it....and sure enough... My mom used to love this song... She's no longer with us...

I'm glad you share your music with the world! I enjoy it very much! 🙏❤

So beautiful ❤️ r.i.p. Sinead♥️🧚

Thank you for that!

Awesome!

I just started watching your videos as I have gotten into Piano. Started at the beginning of covid with a keyboard I picked up. Your music is beautiful, I hope you take that personally. Keep playing, you have a new fan.

You are so amazing!!! I am crying now

Beautiful. She can play any style of music. 💖💖💖

*Passion*

eek, it is NOT Sinead O'connor, she sang it well, this is a Prince SONG,.......Vika, I play it in F also, i am very bad, but you are a good inspiration, to me and to a i bet a lot of us beginners,,,,you have the heavenly/lovely touch...this is not a Sinead song, this is Prince. she never wrote anything ...Prince wrote as he did for so many other artists....

Amazing...

Vika very beautiful and one of my favorite songs! You seem so sad though. May peace visit with you and find a home within...

Simply beautiful !

Sad and Beautiful

Не могу оторваться, спасибо.

Well done 👍

Your version of INXS's song "By My Side" brought me here. Your light touch on the bass clef absolutely made the song work for me. So I had to hear your version of "Nothing Compares 2You" as well. I hope you make sheet music someday because your arrangements are awesome. Keep up the good work!

Omg I love sinead’o connor

Haces que la música sea completamente tuya. Felicidades, hermosa interpretación.

HOLY CRAP...That was awesome!!!

I don't know what it is about you but you bring something out in me that I love. Your super talented. I'd love to hear you do some Nina Simone as another concert pianist

Большое спасибо за минуты счастья

Beatiful as always, nothing compares to you - my lady !

Thank you so much for this cover.

Wonderfull cover as always!

So good! Thanks for this one!

Well done Vika. Glad to se see you 🌹

Keep up the work

Love this song so much. :( And love u too victoria. ❤

Você toca muito parabéns 😘😘

Enfin de retour... Lov u

This is so beautiful! I tried to play it as-is, but I physically can't do a lot of the chords bc my hands just don't reach. You have lovely long fingers. Anyway, with a little bit of white out, I'm practicing this each day. I'ma learn this sucker! :)

Prince would be proud

Vika, could you please make a video describing the equipment you have used in the past, preset and possibly what computer programs you use for recording or editing? Thank you for ALL your songs! When I need to find a piano cover, I always turn to you first!

Maravilhosa!!!!
