What I love about Sinead, and what she demonstrates so perfectly here, is how she dedicates her whole being to the song. Not just her voice, but her hands, her eyes, the curl of her lips, her whole body is a medium for emotion, not just her vocal cords.
Prince may not have realized it when he wrote this song but he wrote it for her. No other rendition ever has come close to the emotion she pours into this song. I'm a 56 year old tough guy and I have never not once listened to her version without at least one tear coming to my eye.
She was asked in an interview a few years ago if she still liked performing this song, and what does she think while singing it to summon emotion. She said she never gets tired of it. And it reminds her of her mom who died tragically in a car accident when Sinead was only 18. Amazing. If one watches her expression when she sings the line "all those flowers you planted in the backyard, momma; All died when you went away...." I think you can see a flood of emotion inside her as she pictures her mom.
Sinead is the epitome of just pure emotion and beauty. I have not come across another artist that does it like her. Nothing compares to Sinead 💚🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Sinead O'Connor's performance of this song is one of those moments as a vocal coach where you just have to cease even judging. Just sit back, relax, and appreciate the experience of how powerful the human voice can be when it's a million miles deep into the emotion of something.
If you have not heard it, or seen it, do yourself a favor friend and search for her "This is a rebel song" performed at Nobel peace prize. Absolutely amazing song that uses the marriage f an Irish woman and an Englishman as an allegory for the relationship between UK and Ireland. I hope we all find peace, but yes especially her. she has earned it.
Except that there was a ton that was trained and researched to be able to emote in such a powerful way. She has discussed her work with vocal coaches and the style of putting emotion into your songs.
Love Sinead she didn't sell her soul to Hollywood and she has suffered in her personal life but wow what a fighter she is. Have great respect for her and her amazing talent
That is the lamest and most overused description on RUclips. She is not underated, she is held with the highest regard, even from people who no nothing about what technically makes her an outstanding singer...
@@dennis8309 i dont think he necessarily means shes underrated, more how her career was derailed and affected after she spoke out about the horrific child abuse carried out by the catholic church.
nobody ever underrated Sinead as a singer. but her career did suffer and she might have accomplished so much more if she did not have all those other problems - which I don't wanna go into here. but her voice is a living proof that God exists
I can't believe she's gone. Destined to go down as one of the most beautiful, haunting voices in musical history. Rest in peace darling- you will never be forgotten. Beth- you are incredibly blessed to have spoken to her!
Amazing talent and human,sadly, nobody believed her when she said there were priests abusing kids, and media destroyed her career for telling the truth. 3:45 the flag from Chile, my country haha Amazing vid as usual Beth!!
Well infact we did all believe her, as it was common knowledge anyway. It was only the mainstream media that demonised her for talking about it, just as they do nowadays with various other things.
I was expecting this moment a long time ago. Here is the most unique singer . She is so ethereal, so strong and yet so delicate. Her voice is sublime, powerful such as her message. This woman deserves all ... Strong independent artist. Please, please Beth, can u do TROY...please
Sineads Irish accent has Everything to do with her distinctive "cries"& "voice-breaks". I love Sinead, her voice is one in a billion, I remember her from the 80's so vividly, time flies by too fast! She has such an amazing voice! Thanks for reacting to Sinead O'Conner.
Sinead feels the lyrics, truly feels them and that is the difference to so many other singers. She also moves the way the music takes her not caring for choreography, it just takes her where she feels and its so right for her. I love the keen in her voice.
I’ve watched thousands of reaction videos and this particular video is one of the best. The way Sinead connects to the song you connect to her and understand and get her. You also said some very beautiful and profound things. Love this!
Me too. Record store in Stockholm in February 1988. At that time you had to ask the person in the shop if they please could play this or that record. If the music wasnt on the top lists it was some work to find out what you liked. But somehow I found The Lion and The Cobra and was complete hooked. Sinead was the same age as me. It must be a very special talent to create something like that at the age of 21. Rip Sinead beautiful soul ❤
I was in that concert i was 10, i don't remember much, she blessed us with her presence, what an honor, so glad to had her here and seen her live, even when i don´t remember much, R.I.P.
Beautiful understanding of the visceral voice of Sinead in this amazing song/poem. This isn't a performance, just as a lark singing isn't a performance. Thank you, Beth.
Wow, I was there that night man!!!! She was fantastic!!! Everybody were singing along... I was 17 or 18, she is an amazing interpreter, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Thanks for this memories!! viva Chile!!!!
I've always said that her singing in this song (either live or studio) is the best interpretation and expression of a song, ever. It gives you chills. So much that the video of the song is just her face, it's fascinating.
I think I watch this video once a month, when I need to feel. Literally. 1 other video only somehow brings me to the same level of music-video emotional feel: Joe Cocker - with a little help from my friends at Woodstock (ruclips.net/video/tfLyK2DVVUU/видео.html) Here ! Saved you the trip ! :-) . Different genre of course, but it just makes the same vibration into my soul. Joe's shout at 5'59 resonates the same in me as Sinead's here at 4'09 and 4'38. Don't get me wrong, I love another 100+ music videos ( LP - one more light / Eagles - Lying eyes / Ben Harper - The drugs don't work...) but these 2 are just so special to me and can never get old. Seen all of the aforementioned artists live, aside from Sinead:-(
I saw her live, but sadly she didn't sing any of her older songs. She was still incredible even though the material she was singing wasn't as iconic. One thing you notice here is how she uses her whole body to sing, like jumping forces air through her voice in a unique way. She moves her head away from the mic deliberately to drop suddenly. It's intentionally broken and sloppy. You are so right that she is fully in control every second.
Sinead gives the depths of her soul when she sings. I think of Janis Joplin. Both of them focused their deepest feelings through their voice, and use their entire bodies to deliver! Raw, true, brilliant!
Wow. Every time I hear this, I am brought to tears by her emotion. She wears her heart on her sleeve and expresses the anguish to a degree that most of us would never do. We then naturally feel an overwhelming amount of compassion for her in that moment. I just want to hug her, grab her hands, and tell her she's going to be okay and her feelings are justified.
She’s the first voice that ever just made me go through a range of emotion and the hair stand up on my neck. It killed me the shit she got over ripping up the picture of the pope. Even when they knew about the abuse she received and her true statement. Now she’s gone and people never heard her struggle and statement. Now they use words like legend and talk about how she stood up for women’s rights. The same people that dropped her from her label and booed her off stage love her now. She was always a beautiful soul and voice and she don’t want tears from hypocrites. She was too strong to “let the bastards get her down” and don’t want their sympathy now. I was a life long fan and listened to what she said and the reasons behind the bold statements she made. She was a warrior fighting against abuse. As she sang to a crowd of boos. “Untill the basic human rights Are equally guaranteed to all Without regard to race Then we say "war" !She didn’t shy away. She doubled down and yes she is a legend.
Warrior saint magic magic artist.. She was pure brilliance. May she rest in peace with her mother and son. She said she always thought of her mother who had already passed away when she sang that song..
When this song came out - what a wonderful, beautiful, amazing risk to take with that film clip - to lock off a face and just let the humanity of it ... The face, the voice - create the wonder , the emotion, the pain. If you can't feel it when you see that film clip, then you're not alive. In an era where the fast-cut film clip was coming into vogue, as Beth says here, Sinead was fearless. That's art - not just throwing in a profanity for shock effect. Being truly risky and different. That's artistry.
OMG I have never see Sinead perform…..this most bee the most emotional performing I’v seen in my life, I forgot to cry. Only stearing and hearing on this wonderful so underated woman I’m shocked! Love to see her open her mouth, and bee so relaxst at the same time. I agree with you, she is a so big musican she dont think of what she do, she just do it! I have see the video of this song over and over a thusen time +++++ I’m sure she had reall tears…..and Thank to Prince R.I.P for making it, I had read about her, and I saw her at a Opera-show in the 90’s…..I feel so sorry for her. She have a bipolar-diagnose, she traied suicide in -03. And her childhood was very difficult. Now she married for the 3 times, she’s orderd to a priest and she’s a Muslim now…..I love this beaty, she seems and hears like an angel 💞
Definitely the greatest cover of all time. The emotion in her music and voice is uncanny. I can't believe you haven't reviewed her before actually. Sad story about what happened to her for sure but she is a survivor!
You are a brilliant vocal coach and amazing at explaining technique in common terminology for the average viewer. Of all the reaction channels I've been watching regarding this artist and specific live performance, you have explained Sinead O'Connor's singing rituals best. Thank you. You have made the most sense.
I was watching this a few weeks ago and was hoping you would do this. Especially this performance!!!! Its truly something to behold isn't. So much controlled anger and emotion in her actions, so real and RAW!
Immediately fell in love with Sinead again as I did hearing NCTU as a young man.So touching and beautiful! And it brings back so many memories of these days.For example sitting in a car as well in company of two friends. 3 young guys in metal clothes with long hair and that brutal deathmetal patches on our vests trying desperately to hide the tears in our eyes while listening and swearing to each other what happened in the car will stay in that car...now it's time to come out with the dirty truth: All three were crying like little girls deeply touched by that angelous voice! 😂🥰 I don't call out names so I hope I will be forgiven!😊
All her songs are great, but I think this one really shows off her voice, and passion the best. This song may have been written, and eventually even performed by Prince, but there is no doubt this is HER song. No one can ever do it better.

Hi Beth! I'm a big fan of your videos. They made my quarantine more easier and happier. If is possible, PLEASE react to Yola singing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Live at FarmAid, she has an amazing and unique voice. Greetings from Brazil.
OMG!! You are so lucky to interview her. I was a young adult during the late 80s early 90's and she plus Annie Lennox and Grace Jones were my spirit animal female artist musicians! As an ex Catholic my patreon saint was Joan of Arc and Sinead is like a living vision of her to me!♥☺
My favourite tracks from Sinead are Troy, especially the live version, so raw in emotion and Damn Your Eyes. Just stunning. Sadly, never got to see her live. A talent gone too soon.
I bought the album when it came out and Troy hit my like a brick off a skyscraper. A friend told me I would like it and him owning a CD store in a college town, he knew what he was talking about. I listened to Troy so many freaking times. I would play it in my car before I went into work. Play it again as soon as I got back out. That album is one of the best first albums ever made imo. She won a ton of awards for The Lion and the Cobra, but as a female singer I felt she never got the respect she deserved for it and the several chart toppers that were released after.
Congratulations for another "react", it is a pleasure to watch you and listen to the great Sinead O'Connor, it is one of the best videos I saw on your channel! 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌️🏻
I love your comment about not needing emotional control if you have control of your voice. There is absolutely a difference and I could never explain what it was but that was it!
Beth she moves every one with her voice.Like you said she is a very good singer.Just the way she has full control of her vocals.She is truly a good singer.
I always love her music & she has the voice of an angel.. Im 37 & has listened to this song for 30 years..but i still has goosebumps all over me everytime i hear this song. My ONLY regret is that i never had any opportunity to see her live in concert. note: i know this comment is 2 years late, but if u read this Beth, did u get any opportunity to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour? Coz i would really love to hear ur thought about the tour of this century..😊😊 ❤❤❤
Hey Beth, wow this is by far the most accurate reaction to a Sinead song I’ve ever heard. I’m so going to listen to your podcast interview next. I’m not blessed with a singers voice however I’m grateful I’m NOT tone deaf. I have to add, as no doubt you understand there is way more to Sinead O’Connor’s music than just ‘Nothing Compares 2 U” which incidentally was a song written by Prince originally for a band called “The Family”, however it’s Sinead who made it her own. For example the first song I heard back when I was a teenager was “Troy’ and I was hooked. She’s created a prolific body of work throughout the decades so please everyone take the time to listen to all of her albums and EP’s as you won’t be disappointed. Plus she has continued to make all sorts of covers her own like for example Elton John’s ‘Sacrifice’. It’s gorgeous and makes me cry every time not to mention all of her wonderful duets and collaborations with other artists and bands, like featuring in “The Kingdom of Rain’ by THETHE and “Empire” by Bomb The Bass to name only a couple. If you love Sinead’s music as much as I do have your read yet the article about ‘This is to Mother You at spillwords.com/cristinas-sunday-tune-tale-this-is-to-mother-you-by-sinead-oconnor/
What I like from her aside of her talent and her brave is her stage style. She likes to jumping and bare footed. Even now when she already wear hijab, her stage style still not change. Jumping with feeling when singing and barefooted :D She still being her self! Plus her voice is still as great as before although she is already more than 50s yo. Love her.
Beth, I'm new to your channel and have liked and subscribed! I absolutely loved your thoughts on Sinead and this song. I love this song and love her voice. I've probably listened to this song about 50 times between this performance and the official video of it and every single time I get goosebumps! 💕
I would love to hear you reacting to Sinead- Jackie. I'm always disappointed by people going on about 'nothing compares to you'. This song definitely pales into mediocrity compared to Sinead singing lyrics that she's written herself from her own heart such as 'three babies' 'thank you for hearing me' and 'jackie'
We lost a great soul today.
Tormented as she was she handed out gifts with all her heart.
Rest in peace, Sinead.
Blasting her all arvo 💫
What a beautiful comment , & Oh so true ❤, She hada heart of Pure gold & despite all she went through she was so giving of herself . Rip Sinéad ..
Rest in perfect peace Sinead. 🕊
RIP, such a great voice
Beth, the best singers are the ones who have the ability to make you feel what they feel. Sinead is clearly one of those.
Sinead's voice demands you to feel. One of the greatest of all time.
@@KlooKloo, Also, her raw emotion.
What I love about Sinead, and what she demonstrates so perfectly here, is how she dedicates her whole being to the song. Not just her voice, but her hands, her eyes, the curl of her lips, her whole body is a medium for emotion, not just her vocal cords.
Prince may not have realized it when he wrote this song but he wrote it for her. No other rendition ever has come close to the emotion she pours into this song. I'm a 56 year old tough guy and I have never not once listened to her version without at least one tear coming to my eye.
Agree 💯 This song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it (I was 3), and has always held a special place in my heart.
She was asked in an interview a few years ago if she still liked performing this song, and what does she think while singing it to summon emotion. She said she never gets tired of it. And it reminds her of her mom who died tragically in a car accident when Sinead was only 18. Amazing. If one watches her expression when she sings the line "all those flowers you planted in the backyard, momma; All died when you went away...." I think you can see a flood of emotion inside her as she pictures her mom.
I was fortunate to see her live at the Lilith fair. She stole the show. Her voice was absolutely breath taking.
Such a fantastic singer and person. One of those rare singers that truly just feels the music and releases it. She will be so very missed.
Sinead is the epitome of just pure emotion and beauty. I have not come across another artist that does it like her. Nothing compares to Sinead 💚🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
She was epic, going to miss having her in this world.
Sinead O'Connor's performance of this song is one of those moments as a vocal coach where you just have to cease even judging. Just sit back, relax, and appreciate the experience of how powerful the human voice can be when it's a million miles deep into the emotion of something.
She is amazing... One of the best voices ever. I hope she has found peace, She is of another world.
If you have not heard it, or seen it, do yourself a favor friend and search for her "This is a rebel song" performed at Nobel peace prize. Absolutely amazing song that uses the marriage f an Irish woman and an Englishman as an allegory for the relationship between UK and Ireland.
I hope we all find peace, but yes especially her. she has earned it.
It’s natural..nothing trained. It can’t be analyzed..it’s just raw and beautiful
she didnt need training. so sick of these coaches.
Everything can be analysed.
Except that there was a ton that was trained and researched to be able to emote in such a powerful way. She has discussed her work with vocal coaches and the style of putting emotion into your songs.
@@psadougshe literally had two lifelong coaches 😂
Love Sinead she didn't sell her soul to Hollywood and she has suffered in her personal life but wow what a fighter she is. Have great respect for her and her amazing talent
Not any more 😢
This song and THE WAY SHE SINGS IT (it was Prince's song originally) could be considered one of the most iconic songs of the 20th century.
An amazing talent and human being. May she rest in peace.
Sinead O’Connor, one of the most underrated singer of all time, why? Just because she said the truth in the wrong time, really sad
That is the lamest and most overused description on RUclips. She is not underated, she is held with the highest regard, even from people who no nothing about what technically makes her an outstanding singer...
Your right! Thx!
@@dennis8309 i dont think he necessarily means shes underrated, more how her career was derailed and affected after she spoke out about the horrific child abuse carried out by the catholic church.
nobody ever underrated Sinead as a singer. but her career did suffer and she might have accomplished so much more if she did not have all those other problems - which I don't wanna go into here. but her voice is a living proof that God exists
i think she has a self destructive streak. she wants to be famous but yet doesnt
I can't believe she's gone. Destined to go down as one of the most beautiful, haunting voices in musical history. Rest in peace darling- you will never be forgotten. Beth- you are incredibly blessed to have spoken to her!
Holy crap does this song hit me hard.. every time.
Amazing talent and human,sadly, nobody believed her when she said there were priests abusing kids, and media destroyed her career for telling the truth.
3:45 the flag from Chile, my country haha
Amazing vid as usual Beth!!
Y en el escenario dice Chile...Un abrazo a la distancia
este concierto fue en Chile
@@pCadavez 😂😂😂
Jajajaj yo sabía que me iba a encontrar un comentario chileno ❤ aguante!!!
Well infact we did all believe her, as it was common knowledge anyway. It was only the mainstream media that demonised her for talking about it, just as they do nowadays with various other things.
You remember crying to this song when you were younger......I’m in my late ‘60s and I still tear up...thanks Beth.....rawr.....
What an amazing singer, no one sings that song like her!
I was expecting this moment a long time ago. Here is the most unique singer . She is so ethereal, so strong and yet so delicate. Her voice is sublime, powerful such as her message. This woman deserves all ... Strong independent artist. Please, please Beth, can u do TROY...please
I am blown away by this singer. The greatest way to put your feelings into a song. A Grammy Winner. In the song and in her personal beliefs.
Showing support for Sinead O'Connor ❤ She puts so much emotions to her performance.
I'm looking forward to watch your interview, Beth 👼
I saw her live in a small venue when she was unknown. Her voice was magical. She was gorgeous.
She was truly beautiful
@@lauralucier6270 her eyes were bewitching, absolutely stunning
Sineads Irish accent has Everything to do with her distinctive "cries"& "voice-breaks".
I love Sinead, her voice is one in a billion, I remember her from the 80's so vividly, time flies by too fast!
She has such an amazing voice!
Thanks for reacting to Sinead O'Conner.
So true! There are a few songs that I feel only Irish can sing because of that. Irish hauntingly beautiful sorrowful lilt.
Sinead feels the lyrics, truly feels them and that is the difference to so many other singers. She also moves the way the music takes her not caring for choreography, it just takes her where she feels and its so right for her. I love the keen in her voice.
RIP Sinead. One of the most passionate people in my lifetime.
I’ve watched thousands of reaction videos and this particular video is one of the best. The way Sinead connects to the song you connect to her and understand and get her. You also said some very beautiful and profound things. Love this!
I first heard Sinead's singing in a record store in Germany in January 1988. Bought Lion and the Cobra that day and have been a fan ever since.
Me too. Record store in Stockholm in February 1988. At that time you had to ask the person in the shop if they please could play this or that record.

PLEASE do more Sinead!!!! She has such an incredible voice. Troy, Black Boys on Mopeds, Fire on Babylon... the list goes on and on. ❤️
Wow, I was there that night man!!!! She was fantastic!!! Everybody were singing along... I was 17 or 18, she is an amazing interpreter, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Thanks for this memories!! viva Chile!!!!
She can cry, scream, whisper, whine, all at basically the same time! Pure expression. One of the greatest singers of all time. Up there with Janis…
I've always said that her singing in this song (either live or studio) is the best interpretation and expression of a song, ever. It gives you chills. So much that the video of the song is just her face, it's fascinating.
I think I watch this video once a month, when I need to feel. Literally. 1 other video only somehow brings me to the same level of music-video emotional feel: Joe Cocker - with a little help from my friends at Woodstock (ruclips.net/video/tfLyK2DVVUU/видео.html) Here !

Seen all of the aforementioned artists live, aside from Sinead:-(
The song was on the radio when I, the first time heartbreak had and even today I come to tears at the song!
What I love and am so happy with is that this was from a few years ago and not just in her recent passing. RIP Sinéad always the artist
RIP sinead. Another angel in the sky
its that little magic in every awesome singer
I saw her live, but sadly she didn't sing any of her older songs. She was still incredible even though the material she was singing wasn't as iconic.

What. A. Performance.
So emotional, almost too emotional for its own good, but so damn magnetizing.
Love, love Sinead. Her Faith and Courage album is my favourite.
Sinead O’Connor is still up to now one of my favorites singers! Nice reaction vid!
R.I.P Angel such an amazing voice…😭😭💔🙏🏾
So sad to hear of her passing. She spoke truth to power.
She's had such a damn rough life...very sad. Glad to see she's still standing though, and looking forward to her interview.
The raw beauty of Sinead is amazing !!
She was a powerhouse. So much vibrancy and beauty mixed with tension and sadness.
Best vocalist of all time.
Period.
loved the reaction, tnx. she is so strong yet so vulnerable at the same time...
Wow. Every time I hear this, I am brought to tears by her emotion. She wears her heart on her sleeve and expresses the anguish to a degree that most of us would never do.

Then we say "war" !She didn’t shy away. She doubled down and yes she is a legend.
very well said….
No one can sing with the emotion as Sinead 1:58 does. Just love her voice. She is a beautiful woman
Still pulls a tear from my eyes
Warrior saint magic magic artist.. She was pure brilliance. May she rest in peace with her mother and son. She said she always thought of her mother who had already passed away when she sang that song..

there's a story behind her shaved head, it's very interesting ;)
OMG I have never see Sinead perform…..this most bee the most emotional performing I’v seen in my life, I forgot to cry. Only stearing and hearing on this wonderful so underated woman I’m shocked! Love to see her open her mouth, and bee so relaxst at the same time. I agree with you, she is a so big musican she dont think of what she do, she just do it!

Definitely the greatest cover of all time. The emotion in her music and voice is uncanny. I can't believe you haven't reviewed her before actually. Sad story about what happened to her for sure but she is a survivor!
Actually this is not a cover. Prince wrote the song for her!
It's a cover- Prince wrote it and it was recorded by The Family first.
She was pure and raw talent, unnaturally gifted and exceptional.
You are a brilliant vocal coach and amazing at explaining technique in common terminology for the average viewer.
Of all the reaction channels I've been watching regarding this artist and specific live performance, you have explained Sinead O'Connor's singing rituals best.
Thank you.
You have made the most sense.
Sinead's ability to convey all of the emotions to us is absolutely epic, Bless her heart. She is my Dream Date!
Her version of “She Moved Through the Fair” is something special.
Sinead was a true artist in the essence of the word ... Brava, la belle Sinead !
If a lump in the throat was a sound, it would be Sinead's voice. RIP.
Best comment of 2023. You nailed it.
I was watching this a few weeks ago and was hoping you would do this. Especially this performance!!!! Its truly something to behold isn't. So much controlled anger and emotion in her actions, so real and RAW!
Sinead O'Connor - Feel So Different. This song has amazing vocals...
Immediately fell in love with Sinead again as I did hearing NCTU as a young man.So touching and beautiful! And it brings back so many memories of these days.For example sitting in a car as well in company of two friends. 3 young guys in metal clothes with long hair and that brutal deathmetal patches on our vests trying desperately to hide the tears in our eyes while listening and swearing to each other what happened in the car will stay in that car...now it's time to come out with the dirty truth: All three were crying like little girls deeply touched by that angelous voice! 😂🥰
I don't call out names so I hope I will be forgiven!😊
All her songs are great, but I think this one really shows off her voice, and passion the best.
This song may have been written, and eventually even performed by Prince, but there is no doubt this is HER song. No one can ever do it better.

Hi Beth! I'm a big fan of your videos. They made my quarantine more easier and happier. If is possible, PLEASE react to Yola singing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Live at FarmAid, she has an amazing and unique voice. Greetings from Brazil.
Hey there! Can you react to lamb of god's randy blythe in their song 512 or some newer. I bet you would be surprised...Good luck👍👍
OMG!! You are so lucky to interview her. I was a young adult during the late 80s early 90's and she plus Annie Lennox and Grace Jones were my spirit animal female artist musicians!
As an ex Catholic my patreon saint was Joan of Arc and Sinead is like a living vision of her to me!♥☺
I EMAILED you something. I hope you get it. It's pretty cool. Thank you, for all the great content!!
I cried when I first heard her sing this song too so emotional and she's such a warrior for what is right she gave so much.
Thanks BETH
Troy - Live at Pinkpop Festival. Amazing performance.
Yes please!!!!!!
My favourite tracks from Sinead are Troy, especially the live version, so raw in emotion and Damn Your Eyes. Just stunning. Sadly, never got to see her live. A talent gone too soon.
Please please react to sinead o'connor "troy" please best song ever very emotional.
Oh yes, I also love this song.
I bought the album when it came out and Troy hit my like a brick off a skyscraper. A friend told me I would like it and him owning a CD store in a college town, he knew what he was talking about. I listened to Troy so many freaking times. I would play it in my car before I went into work. Play it again as soon as I got back out. That album is one of the best first albums ever made imo. She won a ton of awards for The Lion and the Cobra, but as a female singer I felt she never got the respect she deserved for it and the several chart toppers that were released after.
Her voice is beautiful 😩
i think this is the best cover song ever made (and shoutout to prince for making this wonderfull song... also, react to a prince song, pls?)
No shit. Purple Rain is actually a live recording. The audience sounds are not dubbed in. There is no better Prince song for Beth to react to.
First time I've heard a live version of this. And yep, I'd pay real money to see and hear this.
Sinead takes me back to high school. I couldn't get enough of The Lion and the Cobra back then ❤
My all-time favorite singer for 25 years now.
Emotion comes thru the voice most of all when it is pushed to the edge of the singer's ability to control it.
I could listen to any version performed by Sinead; the later ones are so full of emotion and pain.
Congratulations for another "react", it is a pleasure to watch you and listen to the great Sinead O'Connor, it is one of the best videos I saw on your channel! 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌️🏻
I love your comment about not needing emotional control if you have control of your voice. There is absolutely a difference and I could never explain what it was but that was it!
Thank you so much for this. I'd love to see more because her performances have so much variation and there's a lot more to talk about!
This song reminds me of my first crush. Still makes me emotional 30 years later..... :( ♥♥
That instant smile listening to the opening of her singing is just the perfect and probably only appropriate response.
She’s brilliant
Beth she moves every one with her voice.Like you said she is a very good singer.Just the way she has full control of her vocals.She is truly a good singer.
sinead is just flawless.. thanks for you reacting to her talent.. you did a great job!
I always love her music & she has the voice of an angel.. Im 37 & has listened to this song for 30 years..but i still has goosebumps all over me everytime i hear this song.
My ONLY regret is that i never had any opportunity to see her live in concert.
note: i know this comment is 2 years late, but if u read this Beth, did u get any opportunity to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour? Coz i would really love to hear ur thought about the tour of this century..😊😊
❤❤❤
Hey Beth, wow this is by far the most accurate reaction to a Sinead song I’ve ever heard. I’m so going to listen to your podcast interview next. I’m not blessed with a singers voice however I’m grateful I’m NOT tone deaf. I have to add, as no doubt you understand there is way more to Sinead O’Connor’s music than just ‘Nothing Compares 2 U” which incidentally was a song written by Prince originally for a band called “The Family”, however it’s Sinead who made it her own. For example the first song I heard back when I was a teenager was “Troy’ and I was hooked. She’s created a prolific body of work throughout the decades so please everyone take the time to listen to all of her albums and EP’s as you won’t be disappointed. Plus she has continued to make all sorts of covers her own like for example Elton John’s ‘Sacrifice’. It’s gorgeous and makes me cry every time not to mention all of her wonderful duets and collaborations with other artists and bands, like featuring in “The Kingdom of Rain’ by THETHE and “Empire” by Bomb The Bass to name only a couple. If you love Sinead’s music as much as I do have your read yet the article about ‘This is to Mother You at spillwords.com/cristinas-sunday-tune-tale-this-is-to-mother-you-by-sinead-oconnor/
The way she does the entire songbis epic. That last bit where she is just belting is heart breaking for me.
What I like from her aside of her talent and her brave is her stage style. She likes to jumping and bare footed. Even now when she already wear hijab, her stage style still not change. Jumping with feeling when singing and barefooted :D She still being her self! Plus her voice is still as great as before although she is already more than 50s yo. Love her.
Simply beautiful!
This song get me every time, but her performance and feeling comming through the words really makes it REAL.😌🎻💔👏👏👏👏
I can’t listen to this song without floods of tears. I really need to work on that.
This hits so hard now... so true, so real...
Beth, I'm new to your channel and have liked and subscribed! I absolutely loved your thoughts on Sinead and this song. I love this song and love her voice. I've probably listened to this song about 50 times between this performance and the official video of it and every single time I get goosebumps! 💕
This song was written for her voice! ..... no wonder Prince didn't like her. RIP to both of them
I would love to hear you reacting to Sinead- Jackie. I'm always disappointed by people going on about 'nothing compares to you'. This song definitely pales into mediocrity compared to Sinead singing lyrics that she's written herself from her own heart such as 'three babies' 'thank you for hearing me' and 'jackie'
this is a rebel song...
Couldn't agree more. The Lion & the Cobra allowed me to find my own singing voice.
