Listening to Sinead O'Connor sing this, and watching her video, we watched her cry. Listening to Chris sing this, and watching this performance, he made us cry.
I heard this version the day after he died, and I cried so much during the listen. It's so soft and beautiful and haunting all at once. No other voice like his, and he is greatly missed. Loved your reaction to this, guys!
Makes me cry every time I see it! RIP ❤️ Chris Stapleton did a live impromptu tribute to Prince singing Nothing Compares To You and playing guitar. Drop dead fantastic!
Yes, Prince wrote this and he recorded it as well. It is on his greatest hits CDs, and he released it on an album. He was not at all happy when it was taken by the recording studio and given to Sinéad O'Connor. Sinéad O'Connor's version was a cover as well, although they did not tell anyone that. This was supposed to be a tribute by Chris when Prince passed away if I remember correctly.
@@omen1513 No, it was written for a band Prince produced in 1985 : The Family (now FDeluxe) where his girlfriend Susannah Melvoin (twin sister of Prince guitarist Wendy Melvoin) was the singer. You can check out on YT their original and the version they did 7 hours and thirteen (not fifteen in Sinead's cover) after Prince passed in 2016.
@@caseyyordy6188 No, Prince recorded it first as a vocal guide for a band he created in 1985 : The Family (fDeluxe). This song is in their only album produced by Prince and the lead vocals are by Paul Peterson.
I grew up loving Soundgarden. I’ll never forget... I was in a small shop wasting time at lunch one day on May 18, 2017. There were several “kids” running the shop that day. I had to have had at least 20 years on them but they were playing nothing but Soundgarden and I remember thinking how cool that was to me. Woke up the next morning and read the news that he had died the night before. That coincidence seemed to make it hit that much harder. One of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard.
I've seen this many times and I still almost cried after the first line.I love the original but I'm a huge Chris Cornell fan R.I.P. Chris I miss you so much, great choice guy's,new subscriper here, love the channel
Chris has an endless treasure trove of originals too. If you like this you will love Fell on black days from this same session and When I’m down live at the Troubadour. ❤️
I say "NOTHING COMPARES TO CHRIS CORNELL". He was a beautiful, talented man with the most powerful voice. He passed on my birthday, worst birthday ever!!!! My love to him RIP, and his beautiful family. I hope he wins the Grammys he is nominated for posthumous. He is nominated for this song and also rock album. He deserves it and so does his family!
Written by the Late Great Prince ❤️ Made famous by Sinead O'Conner ❤️ ❤️ Hearts & Souls touched by Chris Cornell ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ **SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES, COME FROM THE MOST TORTURED OF SOULS (RIP)**
In the 90s Elton John even said he was the voice of rock.. now that is some high praise! such a tragic loss to music! I have loved him since the first time I heard Rusty cage from Soundgarden AND Temple Of A Dog: Hunger Strike which BTW just celebrated 30 years ago it debuted! I always like and respect Sinnead's version but I am so with you that this version is soo much better! thanks guys good one be safe cioa for now
Iove watching faces when they react to this song when they first hear Chris. I've been asking people for 30 years... "DO YOU EVER HEAR THE EMOTION IN CHRIS'S VOICE AND WORRY ABOUT HIM?" CHOICE ONE - HE'S SO FUCKIN GOOD HE CAN JUST GO THERE. CHOIce2... He always feels it. Eternally depressed. I love watching my buddy ol guy Mike...he GETS INTENSE INTO SHIT And this one kicks his fuckin arse!
Yeah, Blokes. Prince did record it, but never put it on an actual full length release. Sinead O'Connor definitely made this song famous. I agree with you though, this version tops everything. Thanks for sharing!
Hungerstrike by Temple of the Dog, which is Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is a MUST!!!! And actually, the original of Nothing Compares to You is written and sang by Prince
Please react to Chris Cornell's group Audioslave songs "Show Me How to Live" and "Like a Stone". Chris's vocal range, in my opinion, is really on display with these songs.
What a great cover. I’ve mentioned before please do a reaction to Humble Pie either Black Coffee on the old grey whistle test or their acoustic cover of For Your Love by The Yard Birds. Steve Marriott had such a big voice.
This is such a great song. I've performed this version of it ever since I heard it. I sing and play rhythm semi pro I suppose. Well... I did anyway. Back when you could make a living performing in front of actual people. Now, not so much.
He could sing the phonebook and I'd listen. And his ability to make you feel every word ads to his mystique as arguably the best vocalist in rock. Ya'll should really delve into his work, you'll be glad you did and will be better for it, trust me. Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, solo work, covers, etc. doesn't matter where you start.....just start.
If you guys didn't yet you should check out Bad Wolves "Zombie" cover. I think that would be another good one for you since it was such a big song over there.
To go to the other end of his voice, check out Cochise by Audioslave. Dude can belt plus you have Tom Morello backing him up on guitar. Can also check out his cover of Patience (originally Guns N Roses).
Now you have to listen to some Linkin Park, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington both sadly tool their own lives and they were good friends, Chester took his almost a year after Chris on Chris's bday if I'm not mistaken, they both had their demons, but both had powerful voices and great talent
I don't think Prince ever recorded it. A group on his late, The Family, recoded it in 1985, though. The Sinead version was huge in the States, as well.
Hey, guys. Love your channel. Could you do a reaction on 2Cellos? I think you'll love it. And they represent my country so maybe i'm a bit biased. But they are awesome. I recommend Thunderstruck by 2Cellos. All the best to you guys :)
If you do his cover of Billie Jean I recommend the live at MSN version. Sooo good. He’s one artist I almost only listen to live versions. How many people can you say that about?
I think u should do a reaction video of Michael Jacksons Billie Jean and Chris Cornell cover of Billie Jean n the same video then share which u liked more! Have tried getting multiple ppl to react to these 2 together but nobody done it yet, I think it would become a popular video
This is off subject but I'm curious about the word bloody and it's use in UK. Is it profanity? I was joking with someone from England and he kind of chastised me for using it
Prince was great, Sinead was great, but next to Chris Cornell's voice... Both of them pale in comparison. On his day, nobody could take this guy. In the studio, Chris was an easy 10/10. Live? Haha. 12/10

Broken men 💔

She made me cry too. I'm a pussy though.
Well Said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@DustinHawkelol
The greatest voice to ever sing into a mic.
Cornell was.on a complete next level....from anyone.
The man with the golden voice, so sorely missed. A piece of my youth passed when we lost Chris.
I heard this version the day after he died, and I cried so much during the listen. It's so soft and beautiful and haunting all at once. No other voice like his, and he is greatly missed. Loved your reaction to this, guys!
Makes me cry every time I see it! RIP ❤️
Chris Stapleton did a live impromptu tribute to Prince singing Nothing Compares To You and playing guitar. Drop dead fantastic!
After this you gotta do Temple of a Dog Hunger strike which features both Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam
OMG! Yes! They should totally listen to the band that built the grunge movement!
Chris Cornell passed away two days after my dad died. I was jealous of my dad for still being able to hear Chris in Heaven. RIP dad. RIP Chris.
RIP Chris. Beautiful cover!
The arrangement is incredible. Putting that voice on top of it........ Please.

His live performance of “Fell on Black Days” from this same studio session is amazing as well..
I strongly recommend his cover of Billie Jean. You will not regret it!!!
React to more of his covers guys!! Can't go wrong.
His covers are great, but his Soundgarden and Audioslave stuff are unbeatable
I keep trying to get them to watch like a stone but so far no luck, Billie Jean cover would b a great choice as well but again still no luck
RIP Chris the voice of our lifetime able to sing in every octive.❤️
This voice always makes me look forward to the concerts in Heaven 💖
He sings like an angel.

Chris is a vocal god
It's hard to watch this and feel broken-hearted. Beautiful voice.
Rest in Paradise Chris!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎤🤘❤
Great reaction video gents. I love watching first time reactions to Chris Cornell's songs/voice
Prince wrote it, shinad sang it, Chris owned it.
Sinead
You’re damn right! Chris moved like a flame and sung like a warplane. RIP CC!!😢😢
❤ EXACTLY!
You "blokes" have the best reactions. Love, America
Very haunting version. Pierces my heart.
Imagine being his family listening to this everytime you miss him 😔
Great tune RIP Chris Cornell
He was so great.. You gotta do: Temple of the Dog "Say Hello 2 Heaven" Live at Moore Theater 1990. Amazing!
Do Chris Cornell - The Promise
It was the last new song he wrote and recorded before he died.
I get a little sick to my stomach when I watch Chris Cornell. :( Just such a beautiful talent and such a sad, sad loss.
Ridiculous fucking shame that he's gone. Loved that you guys did this video, thank you🙏
I love his raspy voice!!!!

My favorite singer of all time! Audioslave some of the best music out there imo
Chris Cornell could sing the Sesame Street theme song and I’d listen.
My eyes are leaking
I'm not crying...you are

Please react to Chris Cornell's group Audioslave songs "Show Me How to Live" and "Like a Stone". Chris's vocal range, in my opinion, is really on display with these songs.
Check out Say Hello 2 Heaven, it's one of his best vocals and the lyrics are crushing.
should give chris cornell like a stone a go. specifically the live aol performance. it's so emotional.
Should react to his version of gun's and roses patience it's sooo good and fits his voice style really well.
What a great cover. I’ve mentioned before please do a reaction to Humble Pie either Black Coffee on the old grey whistle test or their acoustic cover of For Your Love by The Yard Birds. Steve Marriott had such a big voice.
This is such a great song. I've performed this version of it ever since I heard it. I sing and play rhythm semi pro I suppose. Well... I did anyway. Back when you could make a living performing in front of actual people. Now, not so much.
His version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean is epic also totally it sounds like a different song.
RIP Chris..such a tortured soul in life
Epic!

You should react to one guy 20 voices, he does good impression of him (ten second songs)
If you guys didn't yet you should check out Bad Wolves "Zombie" cover. I think that would be another good one for you since it was such a big song over there.
We did miley Cyrus cover of it. What did you think of that ?
The song is about a tortured soul so it seems it was written for him to sing
To go to the other end of his voice, check out Cochise by Audioslave. Dude can belt plus you have Tom Morello backing him up on guitar. Can also check out his cover of Patience (originally Guns N Roses).

React to chris cornell-patience. You wont regret it
RIP Chris Cornell
Seasons by Chris Cornell. You will be happy you did.
the real deal doesn't need studio trickery
I feel like people in the US would get beat up for saying JellyRoll sounds anything like Cornell. Cornell is amazing.
His Bond theme song is awesome 🔊🎶
Listen to Credence Clearwater Revival "As long as I can see the light" Then, listen to this cat do it.
I don't think Prince ever recorded it. A group on his late, The Family, recoded it in 1985, though. The Sinead version was huge in the States, as well.
Yes he recorded it and his version is amazing. I like it better than Sinead’s version

@@joshfranklin1655 my man 👊
RIP Chris
C'mon guys, never heard of him? He was in Soundgarden. Black Hole Sun ring a bell?
Prince did sing it as a duet,
I see Anthony Hopkins in the background.
When Chris covered a song, he owned it. Try Billie Jean.
Chris's version of "I Will Always Love You" in tribute to Whitney Houston is also pretty amazing: ruclips.net/video/KOvH5LSH9Sw/видео.html
Billie Jean acoustic, then When I'm Down at the Troubadour. Trust me on this!

i cri every time

Chris wasn't known as THE VOICE for nothing.
Check out slaves and bulldozers Soundgarden
love you to react to any of the pearl jam mtv unplugged
Charles Bradley cover Changes by Black Sabbath You need to hear this

nobody sings like that anymore RIP Chris

If you want the best ever cover for a song, please do Johnny Cash - Hurt (original by NIN).
👍👍
Prince was great, Sinead was great, but next to Chris Cornell's voice... Both of them pale in comparison.
On his day, nobody could take this guy.
In the studio, Chris was an easy 10/10. Live? Haha. 12/10
I say Prince's version will always be best (as the creator). I do like Chris's version second.
Chris Cornell effed up if it was a Prince tribute because he used Sinead's cover lyrics (15 days instead of 13 days)...
What about NPR Tiny desk concerts ? Here are my favorite so far. -- ruclips.net/video/oaSN_bHjyIw/видео.html
I still can't believe he is gone. Just sucks!
please react to creve coeur 1 by hobo johnson the npr version.
Every song was written for Chris Cornell. Nobody sings like you anymore.
