He wasn’t from this planet. He was so far beyond his time. No one has yet to even hold a flame to Prince. I feel like he’s still here with all of his music and his brilliance ❤
Everybody coming on here disrespecting Prince in comparison to Sinead’s version needs to understand this is his song. His writing. His genius. I agree Sinead’s version was beautiful, but there’s no reason to put Prince down because of that. Sinead would not have made such a great song if it wasn’t for Prince’s brilliant writing.
Yes it’s a great song but he massacres it, turning it into an overblown jumble of egotistical noise. Sinead O’Connor’s version is stripped down and actually sounds like what it means - a knowingly self-piteous cry of pain to a love lost. This is just Prince & Co showing off, totally out of tune with the meaning of his own song.
3 legends who sang this song are now gone. Prince, Chris Cornell and now Sinead. Damn this song is a heartbreaker. Rest in peace Prince, Chris and Sinead
PRINCE WROTE THIS SONG!! It's his Song. *Sinead just performed it, beautifully might I add.* May Sinead & Prince #RIP. Prince always performed this Song as well. I love Both versions.
That why the loss of him is felt so deeply with everyone that loves his music and him. When he passed, we knew what we had lost and that we would never have anything near as amazing a musician and artist as Prince was. He was unique and brilliant in his own special way and that's what made him so great!!
YOUR COMMENT IS TRUE. BUT STEAL MICHAEL JACSONS LIL GIRL FOR HOW LONG. BOTH TURNED OUT LOSERS. A BIG ICON LIKE THE LADY. COULDNT CHOOSE. THE BIGGEST CHOICE COMES DOWN TO TOP CHOICE AND SEVERAL TO CHOSE FROM. COMES DOWN TO HER CHOICE. THE BIGGER YOU ARE THE HARDER YOU FALL. LIKE THE HOUSE OF USHER
Prince's generosity and humility in front of others in his band is unique. No ego. He sings this songs like nobody dont need anyone. Just him and his piano. He composes everything. We miss his talent every day .
@juanalcarazperez4229 there are tons of stories of how he used to arrive in towns a couple of days before shows, and just show up and jam with local bands.
I just read some comments, all sweet and positive. I got really emotional because I used to meet people like you at Prince concerts. There was always this positive vibe I never felt anywhere else. Thank you for letting me feel this again, being part of a big family! Thank you brothers and sisters! I wish I would meet some of you again one day. Nothing compares to you!
I'm a 22 year old prince fan. I understand his eccentricity and his wisdom that a lot of my generation dismisses to madness. I'm happy to be apart of this community too. I hate that I never saw him live. It was a dream. But I've felt his presence ✨💜✨
@davidziemann9653 I'm not commenting on his guitar skills. I'm saying the Eric Clapton story is bullshit. That story has been used about a bunch of players since the 80's. It's the story. Not his playing. I know he was a great player.
We really lost a legend when Prince died. I was born in 1982 and I can't think of any performer that I think more of than Prince. Absolute legend. I don't normally get emotional over famous person deaths but when Prince died.... it really hit me hard.
Born 10 years later but grew up listening to him as my parents were huge fans. The day he passed I cried. I still regret never being able to go and see him live. One day maybe I’ll visit his mansion in Minneapolis.
Yeah... the only condition was that they would have to have sex with him. Nice guy. Look... you know what. As a person, I think Prince was a piece of..... (I don't want youtube to block me). As a musician? He was great. Look up how he tried to physically attack Sinead O'Connor when she said "no" to him. Prince was not a good person. A great musician? Yeah. Horrible human being.
And, he never charged a cent to anyone that was lucky enough to be at a performance at his home. It was by invite only. And I'm not talking about the rich and the famous, I'm talking about Prince's local fans. He will always be a Minnesota hero and no one will ever compete. Man I miss you prince.
💜💜🎼 WOW! IF YOU DON'T MIND MAY I ? That is one hell of a compliment I never seen Prince blush or smile at the same time, the complement of yours is just beautiful, go ahead your turn well what can I say, okay not in joken mood . but still. ibeen reading returning comments now 2017. Up to 2021. Not long or sassy then there's being sarcastic many many people have said things about my boy. Guess what I'm trying to say is your comp comment was a breath of fresh air young man
Can you imagine PRINCE just free fallin back on you there in that audience and crowd surfing so perfectly like that all smooth and s*"t, what a moment!! I mean obviously that really happened.........to whoever the fans were there........WOW😌😍🤩
Holy shit is there a bunch of people who go find everything Prince and make sure they add the very same comment? I swear I seen this 20 times today all different. Make sure they add this, again and again. Don't matter four done it already just a few posts back. They wanna seem like they did it themself. Part of the internet that makes me vomit.
Prince was never looking for accolades or adoration, he was all about the music and sharing his gift with the world. A true musical genius who was well ahead of his time. There will never be another Prince. His music and energy will live on.
Bull, a true genius knows his talent and sometimes wants to shine,,, and why not give him the merit of his works.. I saw him in The Purple Rain Tour, and it was one of the best times of my life...with that I know he is in a good place and the world is the better for having Prince.. sometimes you just want to be on stage to be seen... and hey we all want a ribbon..with those outfits a person wants to be the peacock in the yard
@@portuguesehydrangea4818 I never followed Sinead in 90s, but now learning about her and her history.. what an amazing human being. Trying to stand up for children who were being sexually abused in the church, being true to herself by for example shaving her head when the "industry" wanted her more feminine, finding peace in Isalam, even though I believe she believed in the Holy Spirit too. I was sad to hear about her son passing last year; and can't help wonder if her death may have been at her own hand. I guess time will tell. Such a strong soul; yet broken on the inside too. Her mom died when she was only 18, and even though her mom abused her according to Sinead, it seems she missed her mom terribly; and this song Nothing Compares to 2 U" was directed to her mom when she sang it. She sang it with amazinging passion that I could feel her rare, pure emotions. I hope she is smiling and finding amazing love with her son,, mom, and all her relatives that passed on before her.
It's a hurt that will never go away or get any easier. I watch him sing and think to myself how did this happen? It was so tragic and his loss was so immense!!❤
I've always said, after seeing him live, that is the tallest 5'2 I've ever seen! His stage persona was larger than life. How lucky to have been alive during his time!
For people who say Prince was underrated? How so? He was always an inspiration of so many amazing artists, and continues to be. He won 7 Grammys, an Oscar, sold 150 million records and is referred to as GOAT.
hands down. Prince he is the best musician who has ever lived in our time.His genius is at par with that of Mozart's. Two different eras, different styles, but both divinely endowed with a gift.
The word "underrated" is a term that has been overutilized to death to the point that it seems to have lost its whole meaning. Not the first time nor the last time that it will happen to another word.
I don't think that's insane at all...I just recently figured out that Prince is a badass guitarist. It's like I passed judgment on him because I feel like his earlier albums kind of hide his guitar playing ability. So now I'm sort of re-discovering Prince, there's a lot more there than I realized.
I hate to think with time all we will have left are these songs to keep and maintain the memory! With time, everything disappears and I am so blessed we have been left with a ton of gifts from gifted and talented people!
They asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the greatest guitar player of all time, Eric Clapton said, "I don't know, why don't you ask Prince!". Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!! Cant believe he's gone 😞
Here’s another fact in a 1994 or 95 interview I think it was in Q magazine Prince was very competitive about his guitar playing and competitively said things about Eric Clapton that suggested Prince was also a guitar hero. I forget exactly what it was but it stood out to me because I was like whoa at the time but if you want to do research what prince said it’s very interesting kind of true.
His songs were made for live performances. I think, for him, studio work was necessary for album and radio play but he wrote and lived for live performances. The only artist I can think of whose live versions are consistently superior to studio versions.
missmiko1 Stevie Ray Vaughan was always extremely superior live too! His recordings were excellent but to hear him live just blew the doors off! I’m still grieving his death almost 30 years later.
THE MAN WAS NOT JUST ENTERTAINER HE WAS A REAL MUSICIAN WROTE HIS OWN SONGS HAD HIS OWN LABEL DIDNT TRUST THEM FIN MUSIC COMPANYS CAN PLAY 14 INSTRUMENTS AND MAKE THE CROWD CRY HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE ABOVE ICON STATUS IM GLAD I GREW UP IN HIS ERA THANKS PRINCE
I was lucky enough to see Prince at Opium in Miami!! Our friend was the bouncer and let us go up stairs if we promised not to stare or interact with him. He was with a few others and we just stood there looking stupid. He glanced at us and gave us a friendly Prince smirk hahah
Not only did Prince write songs, but he played most instruments and produced music. His hands-on approach gave creative power back to artists. By taking full control over the direction of his work, Prince was able to shape the sounds that still influence countless musicians to this very day. Prince's multifaceted talent on numerous instruments was crucial to his musical legacy. He created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, pop, and R&B elements, and his virtuosic playing was a key part of that sound. 0:07 [Indie Band Guru; Olimpus Music]
I live near Paisley Park & grew up in this era. I was blessed to be able to go to many Paisley Park Shows. He get word out & locals would show up. Such a cool experience. Youd see him living in Chanhassen being a normal guy riding his bike around shopping walking etc. People let him be & live his life. He did do much for the town & state, but he always did it anonymously.
Every time I watch prince live, it just hit my spirit, I get emotional and always wonder why he had to leave us so soon.I know God needed him more than we did, and he has completed his mission which God had set him out to do, and that was to be a musical genius, and humble soul. Just like MJ. May the both rest in peace and love.
I loved his music too. I think he hastened his own death though. He was quite arrogant. He was a womanizer..come on nah.....I wonder how much he truly loved & served Christ. He was obsessed with sex. Not Jesus. Just my observation.
@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 I disagree with you totally but that's what's great, we're all entitled to choose who's version we like best. Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time. I don't think he received the recognition he deserved. Could play like 27 instruments. When Eric Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist, he said I don't know, ask Prince. Iykyk.
Nothing compares to Prince! A beautifully talented soul who left an indelible mark on so many people, including me! I could sit and listen to him all day long (and have many times)! We are all better for experiencing his talent.
So sweet when he blew a kiss to someone in the audience he knew. He looked so happy to see the person he had an almost imperceptible bobble getting back on stage. Seems to me Prince loved his female and male friends so much. I bet he was really grateful for them which accounts for their near unanimous praise and loyalty to him. I don’t know, but he strikes me as an amazing friend who had a unique, special relationship with each of them.
He don't blow a kiss to a specific person he blew a kiss to the crowd they were holding him up when dived into the crowd. basically he thanked him for holding him up.

The only concert I ever attended was a Prince concert in Greenville, SC back in 1982 and I was right down front screaming and hollering like I had lost my mind. Even today, I can't watch a Prince video without shedding tears because he was a BRILLIANT ARTIST! Owned his own masters when artists couldn't even do that. I just pray that he didn't suffer when he died. I do believe the angels came and got him from that elevator. Long live his music and I will forever love Prince!
I wish a family member or friend had stayed with him that night. Well he was a very fine man that was underrated and not understood by friends or family.
@@SatrilRose Yo he knew exactly what he was doing when he did that too!! Cause nobody else can sing that song like she did!! Its like when you hear her version you wanna cry and you actually feel that song!! How she hits the notes and everything!! Its so hard to put into words!! 👏🏽A masterpiece Created by a LEGEND and sung by a Talented Music artist Sinead O Connor! R.I.P. Prince🐐

That's god damn right.
I always laugh when people say he is doing a cover of this song... It's his song!
True but my god Sinéad O’Conner’s version is so good it’s easy to mistake it for the definitive version. She was made to sing this song.
@@Thelma7361No it’s not.
Correct!
@@stephenperkins9945 A quick Google search will confirm that he WROTE it.
The genius wrote it and an angel covered it 🖤 there's no bad cover to this. Chris Cornell does a terrific version too
He wasn’t from this planet. He was so far beyond his time. No one has yet to even hold a flame to Prince. I feel like he’s still here with all of his music and his brilliance ❤

Hell yeah
Being able to see this and listen to it uninterrupted is worth the price of UA-cam premium.
If ever there was a person born with music in his blood, Prince was the one. He was music personified.

Music in his blood? To which he then added a whole lot of heroin to.
That sounds so good, now I'm envious I didn't come up with that.

Ungreatful pricks, no respect for black genius. He gave away many songs to artists for free that became their biggest hits.

I prefer this guy over Anyone, but Cornell's version is GOOD
Prince is a true artist O'connor is nothing in comparison.
3 legends who sang this song are now gone. Prince, Chris Cornell and now Sinead. Damn this song is a heartbreaker. Rest in peace Prince, Chris and Sinead
They're performing their symphonies in heaven and when I die I'll hear all your songs again Chris Cornell Prince and Sinead in Heaven
Hope theyre singing all together now, for eternity.
P!nk is still alive, and her version is beautiful`

Prince is inarguably one of the greatest performers of the 20th century.
No argument from me. Eric Clapton himself said he was the best guitarist of his time.

Na Not true
It's been 8 years now and it still hurts like it happened this morning.
Still listening ❤❤❤
It's a hurt that will never go away or get any easier. I watch him sing and think to myself how did this happen? It was so tragic and his loss was so immense!!❤
I cry thinking about it still.
I know....
Prince was one of the greatest artists that has ever lived 💯💯
AGREED!!!!!!!
YES
One of the? or the GOAT?

Who said so? His manager?
Still singing along! Love it! Sincerely, Teresa

He was always an inspiration of so many amazing artists, and continues to be.
He won 7 Grammys, an Oscar, sold 150 million records and is referred to as GOAT.
I think the people who stated Prince is underrated probably think Jesus is Underrated
Nowadays we can safely assume that "underrated" is the most overrated adjective in UA-cam comments.
hands down. Prince he is the best musician who has ever lived in our time.His genius is at par with that of Mozart's. Two different eras, different styles, but both divinely endowed with a gift.
Bcs of new generation i think he doesnt get enough credit for his work
The word "underrated" is a term that has been overutilized to death to the point that it seems to have lost its whole meaning. Not the first time nor the last time that it will happen to another word.
This will sound insane, but I believe Prince was underrated.
He was so talented. More so than michèal Jackson

The most underrated artist.
We always knew we were in the presence of greatness with Prince. Underrated: Never. He was and is the ultimate vibe 💕
Agreed
I hate to think with time all we will have left are these songs to keep and maintain the memory! With time, everything disappears and I am so blessed we have been left with a ton of gifts from gifted and talented people!

FACTS!
Here’s another fact in a 1994 or 95 interview I think it was in Q magazine Prince was very competitive about his guitar playing and competitively said things about Eric Clapton that suggested Prince was also a guitar hero. I forget exactly what it was but it stood out to me because I was like whoa at the time but if you want to do research what prince said it’s very interesting kind of true.
@@Modernaire what??
That’s not true, Clapton never said that. However, Prince was definitely a better guitarist that Eric Clapton.
That’s actually a myth. He actually did say that except he said that about Phil Keaggy.
This dude is so fire! I can't stop watching this live version of him and Rosie killin it!
He wrote this song. ❤
His songs were made for live performances. I think, for him, studio work was necessary for album and radio play but he wrote and lived for live performances. The only artist I can think of whose live versions are consistently superior to studio versions.
missmiko1 the goat
You right. Let's not forget that his biggest song was recorded live in front of an audience and not in a studio!
@@christonefeltzs5149 Purple Rain was recorded live
So true!
missmiko1 Stevie Ray Vaughan was always extremely superior live too! His recordings were excellent but to hear him live just blew the doors off! I’m still grieving his death almost 30 years later.
Can we just give props to Prince for always having insanely talented women in his band??? That girl murdered that sax solo
The least I can do is give props, this gave me chills.
Dude I played sax for 7 years or so in school band/jazz band. I've never even entered the stratosphere that she was in for this performance.
I give her props but also that female back up singer . What a voice! Sounded like Mavis Staples up there.!
Probably staged
Hope he knows we still love him ❤
Still singing along, love the different riffs/ranges. Beautiful. Sincerely, Teresa
Prince and MJ such a massive loss for music they still had so much left to give 💜
Please don't put these two in the same sentence they were totally different and PRINCE had way more talent he did it all!!!
THE MAN WAS NOT JUST ENTERTAINER HE WAS A REAL MUSICIAN WROTE HIS OWN SONGS HAD HIS OWN LABEL DIDNT TRUST THEM FIN MUSIC COMPANYS CAN PLAY 14 INSTRUMENTS AND MAKE THE CROWD CRY HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE ABOVE ICON STATUS IM GLAD I GREW UP IN HIS ERA THANKS PRINCE
I was lucky enough to see Prince at Opium in Miami!! Our friend was the bouncer and let us go up stairs if we promised not to stare or interact with him. He was with a few others and we just stood there looking stupid. He glanced at us and gave us a friendly Prince smirk hahah
But I mean how could you NOT stare at Prince!!!!
Always in my heart. Love post definitely for all of ass. Thank you very much dear

Absolutely the greatest of all time. He is missed. There will never be a replacement.
Not only did Prince write songs, but he played most instruments and produced music. His hands-on approach gave creative power back to artists. By taking full control over the direction of his work, Prince was able to shape the sounds that still influence countless musicians to this very day. Prince's multifaceted talent on numerous instruments was crucial to his musical legacy. He created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, pop, and R&B elements, and his virtuosic playing was a key part of that sound. 0:07 [Indie Band Guru; Olimpus Music]
Да, Принс был талантлив.
I live near Paisley Park & grew up in this era. I was blessed to be able to go to many Paisley Park Shows. He get word out & locals would show up. Such a cool experience. Youd see him living in Chanhassen being a normal guy riding his bike around shopping walking etc. People let him be & live his life. He did do much for the town & state, but he always did it anonymously.
Tempo drag from the intro to verse 1 is one of the many, many reasons why Prince was what he was.
Absolutely magnificent.
Stranded, though. Listen and sing along daily. Love sent, sincerely Teresa 3:47
I love his way to dress, i love his face, his smile, his voice. He was a genius.
me too, he was beautiful, clever, talented, perfect...nothing compares to Prince
hello how are you doing today??
Incredible
Damn Prince’s skin and makeup is goals. All these UA-camrs ain’t got nothing on Prince 🤴
It’s been four years now that you’re gone .... Nothing compares to You ♥️
We will Love you, always
Hello Kat
Wow. It's the crowd surfing for me. ❤❤❤
Prince and Sinead O Connor. RIP forever to them. Their symphonies will never ever stop
Every time I watch prince live, it just hit my spirit, I get emotional and always wonder why he had to leave us so soon.I know God needed him more than we did, and he has completed his mission which God had set him out to do, and that was to be a musical genius, and humble soul. Just like MJ. May the both rest in peace and love.
Hey how are you doing today ??
I loved his music too. I think he hastened his own death though. He was quite arrogant. He was a womanizer..come on nah.....I wonder how much he truly loved & served Christ. He was obsessed with sex. Not Jesus. Just my observation.
@@danilaroche1156 he was a Jehovah's witness. He broke so many of their rules. Lol.
@@cindyjensen2185 For real fo real.
Listening to this i can see Prince in Church leading a congregation after giving his sermon. First thing that popped into my mind.
Fortysomething BadGirls Testify!
if there was a church of prince, i would go there every sunday. even if there's live streaming broadcasts on youtube.
thevoid99 You’re already there. It’s all around you. Go listen to “Everywhere” - he left you a roadmap. Just follow the signs. Admission is easy... 🎈
@@thevoid99 The Rainbow Children Album....Everywhere...there's a place i want to go, where the milk and honey flow...
@@fang_uk Like David, Prince was a man after Gods own heart.
R.I.P both Prince and Sinead O’Connor xxx
He was perfection
Hey Donna how are you doing today???
Fantastic
The greatest musician to walk on this earth in my eyes and my god how easy on the eyes is he just beautiful x
😣 Oh I miss you so much Prince, it's not the same without you. I'm so glad I have your music. 💜
There. Will. Never. Be. Another!!!!
When Prince sings it you know who wrote it. Nothing compares to Prince.
Hell yes he wrote it
You said a mouthful!
And his version is the one I love the best!! I never listen to Sinead's. I liked it until I found Prince's!! LOVE ME SOME PRINCE💜💜💜
@@lbt1119 Nope only time the cover was better Sinéad O'Connor COYGIG COYBIG.
@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 I disagree with you totally but that's what's great, we're all entitled to choose who's version we like best. Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time. I don't think he received the recognition he deserved. Could play like 27 instruments. When Eric Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist, he said I don't know, ask Prince. Iykyk.
Nothing compares to Prince! A beautifully talented soul who left an indelible mark on so many people, including me! I could sit and listen to him all day long (and have many times)! We are all better for experiencing his talent.
Hello Lori, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
hello Lori how are you doing today?????
Prince is a legend he’s my favorite, Have you been to any concerts before?
Man I miss this Dude!!!
Me too 😢
This gives me chills every time.
I just took the Paisley Park tour and I was in that Soundstage where this was recorded ... it's unbelievable
OMG PRINCE, HIS GLITTER FACE, THE MOLE, MASCARA AND GOLDEN MIC!!! THATS IT!!! 🎤✨✨🔮🖤🖤🖤
Yeah a beautiful man,
And still get a woman! Just how could a man be that beautiful and genius?!😍
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WITH HIS BILLIONS DID NOT GET THE MOLE REMOVED...
❤
I thought his sweat was glittering 😂🤣😂🤭
So sweet when he blew a kiss to someone in the audience he knew. He looked so happy to see the person he had an almost imperceptible bobble getting back on stage. Seems to me Prince loved his female and male friends so much. I bet he was really grateful for them which accounts for their near unanimous praise and loyalty to him. I don’t know, but he strikes me as an amazing friend who had a unique, special relationship with each of them.
His mom was there.
He don't blow a kiss to a specific person he blew a kiss to the crowd they were holding him up when dived into the crowd. basically he thanked him for holding him up.
Hey Janet how are you doing today???
Crowd suring...now that is love right there! Prince was loved and still is will always be thanks to digital video tape!
R.I.P Prince 💜
I still can’t listen to him without crying. I saw him in the round in Australia twice. He is totally irreplaceable and will forever be missed.
A true legend!!💜❤💜❤
Hey Allyn how are you doing today????
That was beautiful, what a supreme talent, I might add Prince was never better than at home, I saw him 5 times 2 of them in Minneapolis. GOAT
Rest in Peace miss o Connor 😢😢😢
Rip Sinead ❤

Oh man, of all the great musicians alive ur passed on & has not even top 100, seriously, 1 great album , purple rain, other than that let's say the beach boys w Brian
@@pineapplecircus Yes, but all of them are in a band, group. Prince is one. It's all him. His vision and gifts. He stands alone.

Mountain Goats aka John Darnell is 1 guy
Brian Wilson

✨🕯️✨🫶✨🕯️✨
I sure miss that little prince. I love his music and style. I'm sure he's rocking the heavens
Hey Donna how are you doing today??
The only concert I ever attended was a Prince concert in Greenville, SC back in 1982 and I was right down front screaming and hollering like I had lost my mind. Even today, I can't watch a Prince video without shedding tears because he was a BRILLIANT ARTIST! Owned his own masters when artists couldn't even do that. I just pray that he didn't suffer when he died. I do believe the angels came and got him from that elevator. Long live his music and I will forever love Prince!
💜
🥺
I feel as you do.I have prayed that he did not suffer and that someday the truth will come out on how he died. I love his music.
I wish a family member or friend had stayed with him that night. Well he was a very fine man that was underrated and not understood by friends or family.
you cry a lot, do you?
A Complete Genious....................................Mr. Prince
I know Sinead o Conner version is popular but for me prince version is the one for my soul ☮️
He wrote the song and gave it to her
@@SatrilRose Yo he knew exactly what he was doing when he did that too!! Cause nobody else can sing that song like she did!! Its like when you hear her version you wanna cry and you actually feel that song!! How she hits the notes and everything!! Its so hard to put into words!! 👏🏽A masterpiece Created by a LEGEND and sung by a Talented Music artist Sinead O Connor! R.I.P. Prince🐐
@@arthurwilliams6628 Yes Prince definitely had an Ear for talent. He knew that song would be perfect for her and become a Major hit.
@@SatrilRose YES!! So very true!!💯💯
@@arthurwilliams6628 Prince was Very Prolific 👑🕊💜
I honestly miss Prince a lot! He was such a great singer and entertainer! His music helped me a lot when I was a kid.
That's my musical inspiration
Hello April how are you doing today ???
