I could tell after listening to nothing compares and seeing the music video for first time over 30 years ago, that she felt that song deeply. She sang it with so much passion. She felt it on a deep deep personal level...
Originally Prince wrote this song back in 1985 to one of his side project bands The Family, but had plans for it to be reproduced for Rosie Gains on her 1991 solo Album, however Sinead made it into a big Hit in 1990, and that caused the fight between them
Sinead looks amazing, she has been to hell and back health wise and has had 4 children and doesn't try fillers or botox or facelifts - she's aging naturally/
This is clearly an example where the cover trumps the original. There is nothing Prince can do that will ever trump Sinead's version. Prince didn't even think that this song was good enough for him to do it himself. Sinead clearly saw something that Prince didn't and that is why they didn't get along.
Prince wrote the song about Susannah Melvoin, twin sister of Wendy from The Revolution. It was on the 1985 album for The Family (Susannah's band) and then wound up being on Sinead's album 5 years later in 1990.
@@dtzjones7632Actually Prince first gave the song to a group called The Family. Their only album but it didn’t do much in terms of sales probably because they didn’t have much promo. Sineed’s cover was from that version almost to a tee except they added the drums.
Prince wrote that song based on his personal assistant and Susannah melvoin because he really missed his assistant because she was gone because her father passed away and him and Susannah were going through some stuff. He gave the song to the family. The family is a band that he put together with Susannah melvoin. The family was the first band to record at paisley park because it done and built after purple rain was done. The band is called the family because it’s people who prince was close to. The family’s album was done in the 80s and sineads album with that song was in the 90s.
i didn't even know tillnow, but sometimes a song truly comes together when performed a certain way. I think he wrote something great but never performed it to it's full potential. Sinead took it and carried it to the finish line.
Imagine what would happen if a painter copied another painters painting exactly. Prince said that most people think that he is covering her. As an artist that is a kick in the gut and Prince of all artists. About as original as you get.
@wh0m33 nah, she still has legions of fans and she is quite comfortable with her place in the music industry. A true artist who uses her position to speak out for those who cannot.
i like that the interviewer makes the statement that NC2U is the song we associate O`Connor with,speak for yourself lady,i had been into Sinead for almost 3½ years when NC2U came out,so i didnt like it one bit when she did that song,cause i knew she was gonna blow up with that song,and become just another female singer/songwriter. What made her special was her debut album TLATC,full of masterpieces like Troy,Madinka,Jerusalem,Jackie but there`s not one weak song on that album. >
Imagine losing your mother at 17!!! I know why she shed a tear in the original video. (17 is one of the most emotionally fragile periods of anyone life).
She's just promoting the rerelease of the album by this time she's sick of talking about it the same boring questions and wants to get home to her four children
Thee first time that I heard this song was in the burger bar at Robinson barracks in Stuttgart Germany on a video juke box machine. The greatest thing that I had ever heard, emotionally, until Terence Trenton D`Arby played next. 1988 was a great time for emotional music. I dont care if she wrote the song, she embodied the spirit of it. In music, the only time that it truly matters if you wrote the lyrics is in rap. Prince wrote the song, she sang it. No matter what comes after, IT WILL BE REMEMBERED. Great writing. Great delivery. Great performance. Does anything else matter?
personal albums? how about The Lion & The Cobra??? intensely personal and probably changed the world more than that one song ever did. I think she blew up big, and like most amazing talents, the fame/commercial machine probably wore her out for a bit...she finally regained her integrity after the pop media moved on to other things.....have you heard her collaborations with Massive Attack?...
Prince isn't a fan of others covering his work. With Nothing Compares 2 U, it was a thing where it became this huge hit for her and most people, if you ask them, would probably tell you it was HER song. It's certainly NOT.
Why did he let her cover it then he was managed by one of her managers but she had never met prince she owned that song she sang it better and the musical arrangement was better
yeah, but the pope stunt was genuine and she was right about the problems with catholic church crimes. Plus, her cover is the definitive version. Nobody listens to that song and thinks of Prince's version. Respect to him and all, but Sinead owns that song.
@no hassle I wonder how many people have killed themselves listening to her version. I haven't heard it for decades but I've heard Princes version on the radio many times.
@@GetToDaChoppa-k5r prince wrote that song from the Ground up just like every single one of his other songs and she releases a version with more audio effect put on her voice with less flavor in the Delivery of certain Words and now all the sudden she “owns” the song?
The Family version is far superior to the Sinead version. We were swaying to that in the hood in 1985....white radio wouldn't play or promote them but black radio played the hell out of it. BET kept Screams of Passion on heavy rotation MTV wouldn't air it all.
"White radio" had NO PROBLEM playing Prince stuff ESPECIALLY in 1984-85. I've heard the Family on so called "white radio" before. Perhaps it was just the area you were in back then? Radio was so local back then. We've got to get past all of this divisiveness with race. There is plenty of people in authority who would use race to keep us divided because divided we are much easier to control but the world has come a very long way in that respect in the last 100 or so years. Unfortunately, we still have a ways to go but it seems the goal is finally in view. We as humans really need to make that final push and get rid of this shit so we can evolve. BTW I think both versions are excellent. How could they not be? It was written by fucking Prince man!
> One song seem a bit out of place though,the more easy going " I Want Your ( Hands On Me ) i never really felt that track,but hey,i still find TLATC the best album done by a female,and it`s also in my top 10 of best albums ever. :-)
I heard she was pissed up and spat in his face . She has always tried to use controversial tactics to make up for her lack of talent .. prince pretty much made her relevant for a year then she just said stiff about the pope then turned to Muslim which is not a very nice religion either
Wow! So Amazing, and SAD How Nasty, and HOW MANY Nasty Minded Humans Still Exist!Why do Persons Come under Videos of Persons they " Seem " to " HATE " So Much!!!My Lord, She Said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in " This " Interview to try and Be Nasty about Prince, In Anyway, Shape Or Form.She sang the song " BEAUTIFULLY!!! "Its Sad for me to say this, But.... Some Of You MAKE ME SICK!!!I Love Her and Prince!!!R.I.P Prince.Thank You Sinead.
2 people bashing Prince. Yes - her version is better IMO. but overall she's nothing. a one song miracle and not her song. prince is a musical, multi-instumentalist genius .
Prince is absolutely a living legend and one of the most talented people to ever walk this earth, far beyond anyone else in _everything_ he does... But I can't agree with you that Sinead is "nothing". Prince and Sinead are *both* wonderful. She may have only had one _really_ big hit, but that hit was *huge*, groundbreaking, a massive global sensation. She, too, is extremely talented, with a stunningly beautiful voice. Her other work, while nowhere near as popular is Nothing Compares (as very few things could ever be), is superb as well. And her greatness doesn't end at music; she's an active humanitarian and genuinely good person, too. I think this song one one of the most miraculous, perfect, divinely inspired collaborations that's ever happened to music... perfect work from both artists: Prince's moving, visceral words and Sinead's emotional, haunting voice.
Tell me where in this interview either of them "bash" Prince? If anything, Sinead took the high road and showed class in NOT wanting to discuss events of the past. Get over yourself Ziggy31337. Your horns are showing.
you cannot say "much better" . based on WHAT ? they are apples and oranges. one is a gospel soul record and the other is an irish folk infused ballad with a break beat track.
How did she steal it her manager suggested she sang that song there must have been negotiation's prince was jeleous she made the song huge he was violent towards women many people have come out since his death and said he was horrible violent controling was a narcissist his house was like a compound .he tryed to control Sinéad and she told him to fuck off and he turned violent on her a young woman what does that say about the man but you America's just dont want to accept the truth beacause he's dead but i'm not saying he wasnt talented beacause he was but he wasn't God
Who the fuck would want to sleep with him she was actually married with a child at that time.He's no oil painting i think Sinéad prefererd a taller man
@@dtzjones7632 most men are not tall. Prince was very talented and he was handsome man. I am sure plenty of women if they the chance while prince was alive they would have slept with him. Hater
...just saw on another channel that her first meeting with Prince ended in a fist fight. I guess that's why she didn't speak on it. The interviewer spoke more than she, and was even excited to speak Prince's name. Prince is a beautiful person and made her famous. He shouldn't have written ish for her undeserving @ss. She must be a real nasty person to not have hit it off with him. She's a LOSER!
+Hathormaat47 Prince wrote this song for his friends in the band The Family, he didn't write it for her to sing, she just covered it and she even changed the lyrics to it. It was 7 hous and 13 days in his version, she chnaged it to 7 hours and 15 days.
+Hathormaat47 She's Psycho. Sure they may not have hit it off, but for her to allege that they got into a physical altercation, and he was Chasing her around his car, and she had to hide and run... The sad part is that people might think it's true. Now she claims that Arsenio was Prince (and Eddie Murphy's) drug mule. Hopefully the lawsuit can teach her to think twice b4 making outrageous accusations.
She was a Magdalene Sister at age 14- ie. Irish Catholic Church instituted- prison for young female sex victims and other vulnerable girls. Funny how media's misrepresentation of her advocacy lands her in negative light. Please explain why she shouldn't be pissed if her own family, country and religion betrayed her?
I remember vaguely reading a long time ago that she claimed Prince tried to sexually assault her and she ran away ... not sure if its true or if its an exaggeration ... it was really crazy during those days, people did not react to such crazy news with a big hooha condemnation then ... if its today, Prince would have ended his career in shame like Kevin Spacey ...
@@dtzjones7632 yeah, the guy who wrote Purple Rain is jealous of a woman who covered his song. What big hit did she have after Nothing Compares 2 U? Fck off
Bowie put Wild is the Wind into a good shape after several people had a go. Did the writers a favour. It’s way better. Prince has a genuine grievance with the system, where people can cover songs without permission. Fair enough!!! Her performance and her arranger put the song in a definitive state though. Would have been polite to ask. Sad day..Sinead you were so so appreciated. Rest Easy..
It didn't ruin her career it made her. Ten albums a live one DVD'S endless tours many collaborations with highly thought of musicians and producers she's done many songs for T.V. even American one's and films Glen Close wrote a song for her to sing on her film albert nobbs kriss Kristofferson wrote a song about her called sister Sinéad she has millions of fans who truly love her and her natural personality and understand her mental health struggles and she has for children.She would never have plastic surgery and look like hidious americans as you can see here she's natural and beautiful she did alot of promo for this album and was probably bored of the same fuckun questions she also doesnt like being away from her children she only promoted it for the record company i really think she doesn't give a shit about it you can allways tell when Sinéad's bored she just says ye ye and doesn't look interested she should tell the stupid bitch to fuck off but she's to polite and doesn't get nasty with women ive watched other interviews on this promo tour and she was more interested in the questions and more responsive but believe me if Sinéad gets pissed off she can handle herself but she's matured with age watch her on the andrew marr show BBC UK she does get pissed off and lets the prick no
Your deluded he attacked her he was trying to control her just beacause she sang that song he was jeleous coz she made it huge and he didnt.She escaped from his compound house and he chased her a man trying to attack a young woman since his death many woman have come out and said he was violent and a controling narcissist
@@dtzjones7632 prince did not release singles he only released albums. Do you realize how many songs prince wrote down through the years. I sure prince disliked her as much as she disliked him. She seems like a very bitter and angry person .
I like her music, but as far as her description of the encounter with Prince, she is way bigger than he was, both height and weight, and where are these other victim's I say Sorry, but stop making yourself look stupid.,
I could tell after listening to nothing compares and seeing the music video for first time over 30 years ago, that she felt that song deeply. She sang it with so much passion. She felt it on a deep deep personal level...

My mom is a few years older than her. She didn't get plastic surgery and she looks waaaay better than Sinead O' Connor.
Prince made you rich.
Prince on stage, said "her version bought me a house"
She's not very nice and I can't help but notice the the man hands. That's a bummer too.
meh, talent knows no boundaries
It seems that her political activism ruined her career.
It didn't ruin her career it made her. Ten albums a live one DVD'S endless tours many collaborations with highly thought of musicians and producers she's done many songs for T.V. even American one's and films Glen Close wrote a song for her to sing on her film albert nobbs kriss Kristofferson wrote a song about her called sister Sinéad she has millions of fans who truly love her and her natural personality and understand her mental health struggles and she has for children.She would never have plastic surgery and look like hidious americans as you can see here she's natural and beautiful she did alot of promo for this album and was probably bored of the same fuckun questions she also doesnt like being away from her children she only promoted it for the record company i really think she doesn't give a shit about it you can allways tell when Sinéad's bored she just says ye ye and doesn't look interested she should tell the stupid bitch to fuck off but she's to polite and doesn't get nasty with women ive watched other interviews on this promo tour and she was more interested in the questions and more responsive but believe me if Sinéad gets pissed off she can handle herself but she's matured with age watch her on the andrew marr show BBC UK she does get pissed off and lets the prick no
By "we didnt hit it off" Do you mean you attacked Prince at his home after a cover of his song made you famous?... Classy...
Your deluded he attacked her he was trying to control her just beacause she sang that song he was jeleous coz she made it huge and he didnt.She escaped from his compound house and he chased her a man trying to attack a young woman since his death many woman have come out and said he was violent and a controling narcissist
@@dtzjones7632 prince did not release singles he only released albums. Do you realize how many songs prince wrote down through the years. I sure prince disliked her as much as she disliked him. She seems like a very bitter and angry person .
@@dtzjones7632 "since his death many woman have come out and said he was violent and a controling narcissist" bullshit. Which women said that?
@@ruthavery8245from Purple Rain alone he released 5 singles so how could you write such a nonsense?
I like her music, but as far as her description of the encounter with Prince, she is way bigger than he was, both height and weight, and where are these other victim's I say Sorry, but stop making yourself look stupid.,
doesn't matter if she was bigger; she's still a woman. Plus, she was probably only two inches taller
One of Prince’s former girlfriends accused him of abuse in the early 2000s.
Chris Cornell's version is better than hers. RIP
She didn't have permission from Prince who wrote the song.
