Some of these comments are so pissy. I don't hear anyone "murdering the song". I just hear a friend paying a heartfelt tribute. A tribute is not intended to duplicate the honoree's voice or version of the song. nor the hit record. I don't know who this lady is, but the sincerity and love shone forth.
Because everyone is an expert these days. They think their, mostly ignorant, opinion matters and feel compelled to sh1t on anything and everything in the most pissy way possible.
@@melgrant7404 “Murdered” is one hell of a strong opinion when it’s a pretty simple and perfectly in tune cover of her friend’s biggest hit song. I presumed you’d have something to back up such a brutal assessment of it. Seems not.
I was there when this was performed live at the festival. This was the highlight of the festival for me, and there was not a dry eye in the house. It was just such an emotional performance which was preceded by 2 mins of clapping in honour of sinead. Got bless. X
@@filmneye Yes I figured that out. It showed that she had a deep connection & that this was more than just another song to her. The emotions & connection was real & from the heart.
What an exceptional tribute to Sinéad. Thanks Imelda, beautiful voice you have, thanks to the spectators that participated so respectfully. All the hairs on my arms stood up and applauded.
Fabulous version and tribute to Sinead by the always excellent Imelda. And thanks to the man who held his mobile phone up over everyone else's heads to record this performance for us. 👍
U may shoot a performance for yourself with your shit of a mobile phone, but please dont fill up that crap into youtube. U just destroyed the marvelous performance Imelda always does on stage.
I am a freaking mess after hearing that, thanks Imelda, and you for filming this and sharing, I'm on my lunch break and I have to pull myself together before going back
Literally THE BEST version of this song next to Sineads! Unbelievably stunning, raw and heartfelt- the way Sinead used to sing it! NOW THIS IS A TRIBUTE!!!!!
That’s the best rendition of Sinéad O’Connor song I have ever heard. I don’t think there is a person alive who was not touched by that song. What a brave woman Sinéad O’Connor was through her adversity.❤
I hadn't heard of Imelda May before stumbling across this video, but My Gawd what a voice. So glad to hear such a raw, heartfelt tribute for her friend Sinead🎶💜💚♥️🌌
Absolutely beautiful. I am struck by how silent the audience was during this performance. Not one hoot or yell or clap, until they start singing along. Sheer respect.
Sinead's rendition of Nothing Compares was and still is peerless, but the marvellous Imelda May came as close as is humanly possible. Great job Imelda, a most fitting tribute. RIP Sinead.
Miss her already. When I first heard Sinead sing and then saw her eyes; into her eyes, eyes that looked into YOUR soul, I really felt, really felt the presence of good. And yet, deep sadness, sadness that made me FEEL. RIP, angel and goddess
Thank you Imelda. This is just so beautiful. 😢You are also one of our true MnA /woman treasures. I celebrate you all, your beauty and contribution to Ireland and the world…Sinead, Dolores, Imelda, and Lyra…thank you so much for the beauty and gentility in this world…MnA are making this world better. Take care, stay strong and keep the flame glowing.
I could feel her emotion. Spectacular performance and a great bluesy version of this song. Well done Imelda. When everyone started singing along, I really lost it 😢 Our beautiful Sinead gone and her true fans are still so heartbroken 💔
I can't stop crying, and I've been through so much in the last few years, losing my very nearests and dearests, including a very close friend of myself and Imelda's, my best mate Spanner, but I literally cannot stop crying, I'm heartbroken x x x 😞
As Sinead had, you also Imelda have a beautiful voice and are an equally lovely person as she also was. This was a beautiful tribute to her by you, both Dublin women who can be very proud.
Beautiful tribute to our beloved sinead fly high angel with other Angel's shine in heaven you always shined on earth our hearts forever diamonds are forever to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die reunited with her beloved baby boy Shane no more pain suffering fly high in God's hands now well done keep going doing amazing things stay strong stay positive stay safe takecare sending luck hugs love from headway Nottingham UK xxx
That was truly beautiful Imelda... I was fortunate to meet Sinead a few times (the 1st when i spent a night out with her & the late Ulick OConnor in circa 2001 in Raynards Dublin. What an amazing soul. We share the same vocal coach in dub & I'm just sad she's gone. A true poetic beauty ❤ rip
Wowwwwwww ❤ This has brought tears to my eyes, taking me right back to when Sinead first blessed our ears with her voice with NC2U way back when I was a 10 yrs old in 1990 😢 RIP Sinead 💔💔💔
I have to admit I never heard of Imelda May before. This had me in tears within 2 seconds. Incredible performance , incredible voice that I will have to check out instantly... Thnx for this tribute...
It is so very obvious that you actually admired and loved her as I know you did, wonderful tribute and a wonderful voice that captured the emotion needed to sing it 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much or recording this beautiful tribute to Sinead. I’m watching this as her funeral cortège in Bray along the coast near her home will begin in 30 minutes…… RIP beautiful songbird. ☘️☘️🙏🙏
As Sinead did through her life, she sang our soul. Imelda, through their shared capacity to manifest this quality, took responsibility with the audience and shared their response, to honour a generational and more than that artist and human rights voice of love and compassion. Only saw Sinead once live and was glad my daughter was there. A remakable women.
Merci Imelda et merci aussi aux musiciens qui l'accompagnent : l'arrangement musical est original et différent de ce que nous avons l'habitude d'entendre. C'est une grande perte d'avoir perdu Sinead, pour le monde de la musique. Étant une personne qui " marchait toujours en équilibre sur un fil " , tant elle était " écorchée vive" , avec une sensibilité à fleur de peau, sa belle voix féminine était pleine de nuances et de vibrations d'émotions. Repose en paix, Sinead. Love you.
Go way out if that. Love her music and yes she was right about the church but she wasnt the catalyst. The youth of her generation (including myself) got educated. Lifting Ireland out of poverty was the catalyst. A political change that was open and outward was the catalyst. A post colonial, post civil war ecconomy that was global not and not under the yoke of the pound sterling.
Beautiful imelda for your beautiful friend sinead So heartfelt as sinead was a rock & inspiration to you Irish artist supporting each other in each others beauty of music speaking to the soul 💜🫶🏼💕🕊🕊🕊
She gives it her all every time she sings. Every time.

We know it's not meant to duplicate the singer but it was still murdered imo.
Because everyone is an expert these days. They think their, mostly ignorant, opinion matters and feel compelled to sh1t on anything and everything in the most pissy way possible.
@@melgrant7404Throw up a link to your interpretation and we’ll compare.
@@Dreyno no.i give my opinion like anyone else .I'm not a singer but that obviously doesn't mean I can't give an opinion.

God love u 😂
can not imagine such a gift to beautiful Sinead now I have discovered Imelda
Big Shoes to fill - couldn't think of anyone better - Imelda you nailed it 🙂
Sinead przepraszam za kościół katolicki i kocham Cię ❤❤❤❤❤
Twelve seconds it took for my first tear to appear.
Extraordinary! The best tribute to Sinead I've seen. Incredible performance. Thank you, Imelda. Sinead was with you for sure 🙂
Totally agree with you.
@@kelly-kx2ioAlso look up the Foo Fighters and Alanis Morissette doing Mandinka
@@danielscissorhands I will thank you for the recommendation.
They were best friends so Sinead's death was deeply personal for her, and it clearly shows...
@@filmneye Yes I figured that out. It showed that she had a deep connection & that this was more than just another song to her. The emotions & connection was real & from the heart.
Jesus Christ, I just bawled my eyes out - not sure how she managed to make it through that performance to be honest. Stunning tribute 💚
Me too ❤❤
What an exceptional tribute to Sinéad. Thanks Imelda, beautiful voice you have, thanks to the spectators that participated so respectfully. All the hairs on my arms stood up and applauded.
Nienawidzę katolickiego papieża Pawła 2 . Jestem Polką. Kocham Sinead i przepraszam za ból.

Keep the Irish singers and writers coming. The world needs more Irish voices. Beautiful, tribute to an absolute legend. Rest in peace Sinead.
I am a freaking mess after hearing that, thanks Imelda, and you for filming this and sharing, I'm on my lunch break and I have to pull myself together before going back
Before seeing this I thought tonight is the first night with no tears from me for Sinead, but nope. 😢
A beautiful poet honouring another one, just perfect. Thank you Imelda for this.
Literally THE BEST version of this song next to Sineads! Unbelievably stunning, raw and heartfelt- the way Sinead used to sing it! NOW THIS IS A TRIBUTE!!!!!
I'm still crying, I miss her so much, knowing we won't see or hear her anymore... Imelda that was beautiful! 💔
❤❤❤❤ kocham Sinead . Polska
Saw Imelda in Derry just before Covid, Literally the best live performance EVER. and I've seen the very best. Sinead will be soooooooooo proud of her
Quite simply stunning, wonderful tribute
Doing that live was brave. What a performance. A true professional with a great voice.
Beautiful tribute.. and massive respect to the audience that respected Sinead.. ye were brilliant.. ❤
That’s the best rendition of Sinéad O’Connor song I have ever heard. I don’t think there is a person alive who was not touched by that song. What a brave woman Sinéad O’Connor was through her adversity.❤
Now, Prince actually wrote this song, of course.
Fantastic performance Imelda. Beautiful honoring of your soul sister Sinead.
That's a wonderful tribute to sinade O'Connor rest in peace she have a beautiful voice as well .😇🙏✝️☺️😔
I hadn't heard of Imelda May before stumbling across this video, but My Gawd what a voice. So glad to hear such a raw, heartfelt tribute for her friend Sinead🎶💜💚♥️🌌
Imelda is a lengebd too.
Check out the rest of her catalogue, if you hadn't heard of her you are in for a treat
Beautifully Done. Awesome Job. Imelda May Is A Great Singer. Pitch Perfect.
What a pure talent! No wonder another musician’s musician, Jeff Beck, loved playing with her. Beautiful tribute
Talent for other songs but not this one.
It's hard to look at/listen to this without the ol' eyes watering up. Powerful stuff indeed by Imelda.
Beautiful, am in bits. A lifelong fan of Sinead since Mandinaka, Sinead will be singing in the heavens to all our loved ones ❤
Absolutely beautiful. I am struck by how silent the audience was during this performance. Not one hoot or yell or clap, until they start singing along. Sheer respect.
Sung in pure pain. Beautiful. In tears.
Does actually sound like pain yes 😊
Sinead's rendition of Nothing Compares was and still is peerless, but the marvellous Imelda May came as close as is humanly possible. Great job Imelda, a most fitting tribute. RIP Sinead.
This is the most beautiful tribute Sinead has had. Imelda Sinead sat on your shoulders. We have lost a angel that walked amongst us . R.I.P Sinead
Not a great version imo.
It's not about the quality. The sincerity of the crowd and performance
@@melgrant7404 You have issues. Not the first resentful and bitter comment you've left here. Do better with your time.
A bit disrespectful to Imelda! She made it on her own!
@@melgrant7404
Record yours then and share!
You’ve got problems!
One Dub feeling the pain of another Dub, True heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest ground breaking artist from another amazing artist.
Lovely tribute, Rest in peace Sinéad
Miss her already. When I first heard Sinead sing and then saw her eyes; into her eyes, eyes that looked into YOUR soul, I really felt, really felt the presence of good. And yet, deep sadness, sadness that made me FEEL.
RIP, angel and goddess
Brilliant Imelda, well done, rip Sinead! so sorry you had to suffer so much in this life, hope you’re at peace now.
At least she didn't have to listen to this.
Brilliant. Imelda May nailed that, very very few singers could do that, a fitting tribute to an amazing artist.
A beautiful tribute, I wish Sinead could come back to us 😢
I don't think Sinead would appreciate coming back here. That's why she exited this life😂 she'd had enough of this Life. 💫🌠🤍
Very kind of you to honor Sinead with this performance.
Thank you, and thank you for posting it.
Kind regards.
More people should appreciate how brilliant Imelda May is!
No words 🥺 Just respect.. at the best tribute I've seen so far.
Goosebumps.
Seen better.
No reason to be negative

Fantastic wonderful tribute to Sinead Imelda she would have been so so proud x
So raw and emotional.
RIP Sinead 😪
What a wonderful tribute to Sinead! Thank you❤

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful person, who so many people didnt really know till now but amazing to know her through friends and tributes ❤
Well done Imelda May great tribute to your friend. Two great Dublin girls , Sinead will be greatly missed .
Wowwwwwww ❤
This has brought tears to my eyes, taking me right back to when Sinead first blessed our ears with her voice with NC2U way back when I was a 10 yrs old in 1990 😢
RIP Sinead 💔💔💔
Absolutely outstanding 😧 fair play Imelda 👍 you done Sinead proud 😧👍
The audience sounded so good 💛
Lovely cover!
Poignant that both the writer and the singer have both left. I hope they are both off creating magic in another realm now.
Tribute not cover.
shows how emotional this was for the crowd as everyone is so amazingly quiet while she sings ❤
I have to admit I never heard of Imelda May before. This had me in tears within 2 seconds. Incredible performance , incredible voice that I will have to check out instantly... Thnx for this tribute...
This woman's voice is so true to the notes that it's impossible not to listen. A tribute both to the original and the disciple.
Beautiful tribute to Sinead 💔♥️
And Prince.
When someone like Sinead passes from this world, it leaves a very powerful emotion of sadness and emptiness.
It is so very obvious that you actually admired and loved her as I know you did, wonderful tribute and a wonderful voice that captured the emotion needed to sing it 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much or recording this beautiful tribute to Sinead. I’m watching this as her funeral cortège in Bray along the coast near her home will begin in 30 minutes…… RIP beautiful songbird. ☘️☘️🙏🙏
That was beautiful, deeply moving. Sinead had to have heard that. 💖🙏💫🌱🌎
An amazing tribute ❤ Imelda's voice is outstanding
That you could’ve heard a needle fall… no more words needed 🖤 R.I.P. finally 🥹

Beautiful voice. First saw Imelda at the Isle of Wight when I went to see Weller and fell in love without doubt a great tribute to a dear friend.
The song is magnificent. Prince
Thank you RIP Sinead & Prince 🙏🎸💜 What a tribute!!
Don't care what anybody says I love this and Sinead. Listen to the word.
Beautiful! Very moving indeed. 😢😢❤❤
Sinead was definitely there with u singing that song, fantastic imelda
This a tribute and an absolutely beautiful one, thank you Imelda
This is incredible. RIP Sinead. ❤❤❤❤
Kind of heartbreaking. I saw Sinead in 1990, Seattle, Paramount theater. She was really great. This is lovely.

Omg, that was so great, gave me chills. I could feel every word.....beautiful.
Wow, that was really beautiful
Carry her torch on for ever, Sinead did more to free the young of Ireland from the rule of Rome than 100 wars, RIP you beautiful legend
How true!
