Folks I will say it again, you have it reversed, Prince is not covering this song, Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U in 1984, Sinead did her cover version in 1990. Here are some other songs you may not be aware of that Prince wrote, and either gave away, or that were covered by other artists. The list is huge, these are just a few. Manic Monday covered by the Bangles, this song was originally recorded as a duet with Apollonia, and some of the music/backup vocals by Brenda Bennet are still in place on The Bangles released version. I Feel For You covered by Chaka Khan, written by Prince in 1979 and released on his 2nd album of that same year. He gave a song called With This Tear to Celine Dion. The Glamorous Life and Love Bizarre on Sheila E's albums (and 95% of the other songs on those albums), is all Prince. Same for The Time with Jungle Love and The Bird. He gave a song called U to Paula Abdul for her Spellbound album. Sugar Walls was a song of his that he gave to Sheena Easton. For the song Stand Back, Stevie asked him to come to the studio to listen to the song, and that is where in 25 minutes, Prince laid out the entire keyboard track for the song, that is him playing on the track. Could go on forever, Prince was everywhere in music, most of which he never took credit for or cared to brag about. Peace
I grew up only a couple of miles from Prince's stomping grounds. I had numerous encounters with him as it was inevitable in the relatively small town of Chanhassen. He watched me pitch a little league game from underneath a tree at Lake Ann park near his home. I delivered pizzas to his house and to his studio numerous times when I was in high school. I was witness to his intimate late night impromptu shows at Paisley Park more times than I can count on two hands. Anyone who might suggest that he isn't the greatest live performer of all time simply hasn't seen him in concert.
RIP Prince (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016), aged 57 RIP Chris Cornell (July 20, 1964 - May 18, 2017), aged 52 RIP RIP Sinéad O'Connor (December 8, 1966 - July 26, 2023), aged 56 You will be remembered as legends.
RIP for sure... I don't know why but losing Sinead today and the reminder of losing Prince (the day the music died if you ask me)... really makes me so sad. Definitely the nice times of our lives... Miss them all, MJ, George Michaels, Prince and now her
Befor caping on a person cause of spelling find out about them befor ruleing He made it yes but samples it first befor she sang it hello that's what I was saying .I'm handy cap and people like you treat me like I'm dumb ok I'm dumb but you are a fucktard
Agree 200%. He is the Einstein of modern music(jazz, r&b, rock, pop,etc). To me, I have yet to see anyone more talented than he is. Have you seen/heard him play his bit in When My Guitar Gently Weeps? the one with Tom Petty, Dhani Harrison, etc:?
@Greg Jacques Lucifer's Jizz Gargler considering that is a child asking that I would tread lightly. This is his mother and he asked it on my account is how I know. But let's see maybe you're nothing since you seem to need to type behind a keyboard. Move along.
Eric Clapton was asked, “What’s it like to be the best guitarist ever?” He replied, “I don’t know. Ask Prince.” 💜 2023 edit: Clapton didn’t say this, but, if you still love Prince, it’s ok to like 👍
@@johntyrrell1549 - Lol! I do like a bit of Rory, but for me, it's gotta be Hendrix for the electric. And IMO, John Martyn was the greatest acoustic player there's ever been - not trying to start an argument, just saying. Either way, you obviously have good music taste, live long and prosper Friend.
I had always heard this song was written by Prince. But because we have lost Sine’ade I decided to see if Prince actually sang the song and I found this video. His voice is hauntingly beautiful. Prince was incredibly talented. I saw him in 1984 in Lakeland Florida. Best concert I’ve ever seen. May God rest both of their souls.
I love the sax and the dancing and it's quite a different but beaut version of Price performing it I definitely love love his song Purple Rain Great Artist. 🎶🎶🎸
Prince may be the greatest all around artist. The electric guitar, the exquisite song-writing, the pitch-perfect, instantly recognizable voice and, probably most importantly, those DANCE MOVES! I'm 36, too young to truly know Prince, but he was definitely a genius.
I'm 35 so likewise, I'll never be able to know Prince the way people who grew up with him. But you know what? We have the time to get to know the history and thankfully we get high quality videos like this ♥
Those dancemoves, unnecessary if you ask me, ultimately 'killed' him. Pelvisproblems, strong painkillers and ultimately the fatal unintended overdose....
I am of an age to remember him very well but not listening at the time. His death hit me like brick and won’t forget where I was. Saddest news, listening now I wish I had heard him sooner. He has gone from us, rest in peace beautiful child and thank you for the cream of the crop, priceless talent
This brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful to hear his version of his song but to see him prepare to rule the world is amazing too. But the biggest part is, i miss him so much. The world is so empty without Prince here in it. The song is so true, when it comes to Prince, “Nothing Compares 2 U” 😢😭💜
I was so glad to be living in Minneapolis when he passed. Nothing compares to the love the whole city showed when he passed. The whole city was purple to celebrate his life. He was too ahead of his time with everything. His music, his style and how humble he was.
It's my personal opinion that Prince was likely the most complete rock star we've ever had the pleasure of listening to and be entertained by -- he was an elite-level singer, songwriter, instrumentalist (of multiple instruments), composer, producer, lyricist, dancer, performer, choreographer, and showman. A very few in the history of late 20th and early 21st Century western pop music (all genres from rock, R&B, C&W, soul, hard rock, metal, and so on) can claim to score straight-A's on all of those categories -- Prince is one of those few and may, in fact, be the only one who can.
@@thewaywelive2775 Why don't you do some research on people who project passive-aggressive behavior towards those they don't feel comfortable with and come back with the results. You might learn something interesting about yourself in the process.
“All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the backyard... all died when you went away”... there’s so much vulnerability in this line alone, it hurts😢
My mom was a big fan of prince. She died this thursday to Covid-19. And now i find myself drowning in this music. Wish i had delved further into her favorite music.
I’m sorry but I’ve heard her sing this song and to me, there’s NO comparison - Prince has the best version. I don’t know how her fans can say she sings better than Prince! How can an Irish, female folk singer do a song written by a black funk, rock. R&B, soul superstar sing a song he wrote, better than him? Y’all love her but she had nowhere the talent of Prince Rogers Nelson! I know you want to give her credit over him because she’s one of yours but that’s just ignorant to think she’s better than him. Just standing on a stage singing in an off pitch voice while this man is singing, playing guitar AND dancing, you cannot be serious!😂 Plus, I don’t like her - she lied on Prince saying he spit on her or assaulted her or done other BS after he’d written a hit song for her!😡 Prince knew LOTS of women and none have ever said he was aggressive or violent towards them! Guess that’s what he gets for helping the likes of her!
Plus compared to her contemporaries like Kate Bush and Tori Amos, there is no comparison. She is overrated as a singer. More famous for her antics. There is a weird obsession over her death right now that is creepy.
Prince Rogers Nelson, what a musical and instrumental genius! Such an underrated guitarist and lyricist. He taught himself how to play 27 different instruments!!! 27!!! I cant even name that many. I hope he found peace in heaven that he couldn't find on Earth. RIP dear Prince.
@@nathanrobbin6341 hes extremely underrated!! If you listen to experts talking about the greatest guitarists of all time, his name isn't even mentioned. Clapton, Hendrix, Page, etc. All the usual suspects but never The Purple One. His guitar playing was absolutely breathtaking.
Absolutely mind-blowing! Prince's original version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is a testament to his unparalleled songwriting talent. While many know this song from Sinead O'Connor's powerful rendition, hearing Prince's soulful vocals is a deeply moving experience. The raw emotion and vulnerability he brings to the lyrics are simply breathtaking. It's a reminder of his incredible range as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. Thank you, Prince, for sharing this timeless masterpiece with the world. Your music continues to touch hearts and souls. 👑🎶
@@davidb9531you could say that it's better mixed in the studio, better overall sound and a beautiful voice performance from Sinead. But technically, musically, this is more sophisticated.
@assorita3861 exactly, and some people don't even know that it was prince song and he sang it. So all they know is her version, but they have to listen to PRINCE SING IT. Wow, AMAZING !!!!
His death affected me very deeply although I had not listened to his music for a very long time. I wasn't a fan in the sense that I bought all his music and went to concerts, etc, but after he died, I listened to his music for months on a continuous loop. I grieved his loss like I lost a lifelong friend because I had grown up on his music. Music is so powerful. It becomes a part of you even if you do not realize how much it does so at the time.
Ashlyn Stiff I first fell in love with Michael Jackson at age 15. My daughter then fell in love with him at 15. He also died that year and they shared the same birthday. ♡
WOW!!! This should have been released by Prince!!! It's so much better than than Sinead's version! SO HEARTFELT AND SOULFUL!!! Thanks to the Prince Estate for releasing this for us fans to enjoy!!! 🎸👼🎤🎶
Only a handful of musicians can write multiple hit singles. Only a handful of musicians can play flawless lead guitar. Only a handful of musicians have an octave range of G1 to G7. Only a handful of musicians can move like an acrobat. VERY few musicians can do any of these things WELL. Prince did them all... At. The. Same. Time. His genius is unequaled.
Calvin Cheney - Actually, that’s the downside of acrobatics on heels. He was on those painkillers because of chronic pain, particularly in his hips. The man could not move without excruciating agony. His OD was because he was given a counterfeit prescription that was mixed with fentanyl, an opioid 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. The man didn’t have a chance.
The precision, the vitality, the youth: what a time to have been alive and enjoying the man's music and artistry! This brings back such great memories from that time...
He was something to behold live during his earlier career! Raw insane unleashed sexuality mixed with spirituality.. it was life changing to see him live.
An artist,.... A visionary,.... The Main State of what we had. I know others came and went, so to them I say the same for the "late" Prince: God bless you, and may He keep you. Rest In Peace ☮ ☮ ☮ ☮ 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊💜💜💜💜
Beautiful. I was his neighbor in the late seventies and eighties on Lake Riley. I lived in Eden Prairie right down the street from where this was filmed. My school bus went in front of his purple house. I was in love with his music at about 8 years old, around 1983. I remember little red corvette playing on the school bus radio as we went down the street he lived on. When you are that little, we just thought, thats where Prince lived. We did not think it was anything more than that, or at least, I did not. I just loved his dirty, sexy, sounds. And the odd part about it is, when he died of opioids, I was shocked. I live in SF now and my brother texted me and said Prince is dead. I left my graduate school classroom (I was going back to school in my late thirties at the time) and I just walked out and bought a bottle of vodka. I walked up to this big, black, bad ass bus driver and I said, Prince is dead. (The news was barely out. My brother happened to be just near paisley park at the time and texted me immediately.) The bus driver said, "no way." He got on his radio and called someone, and came out, and said, "son of a bitch." ....Needless to say, I went to downtown SF bar and bought purple hooter shots for the whole bar and they played prince all day and that night. Then, my mother died of opioids about a year later. We were neighbors. He was probably the most famous black man in MN and my mom was just a modestly poor ex-social worker and they both died of the same thing. The irony and the closeness was a lot to handle. But I thank you Prince for everything you did for the community in my hometown. And my mother too. She was wonderful. Be careful. Opioids, aint nothing to be fucked with. RIP Mom and Prince. Lake Riley, MN. Eden Prairie and Flying Cloud Drive. xo b
I'd be honored if some Prince & Michael Jackson fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of MONEY DONT MATTER 2 NIGHT and MAN IN THE MIRROR on my channel in tribute to these 2 giants of popular music who had an amazing rivalry with each other. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
This version is good, but there is something about Sinead's haunting vocals and musical arrangement that gives me chills to this day. Brilliantly written by prince and performed by sinead!
I cried through this entire video--watched it on large screen TV. I felt like I was in the front row watching him do those splits in heels, the GREAT moves, guitar riffs, and that voice! “So sexy!" Oh gawd I miss you Prince!! He sacrificed his body, his hips were so destroyed from all that dancing that he took opioids to bear the pain. Here was a Jehovah’s Witness who didn’t drink, was just a DAMNED FINE MAN and he died b/c of unrelenting hip pain. He could have stopped performing, stopped road shows...but he was the consummate musician--he lived to make us ecstatically happy. “I would die 4 U!” And he did. Love you Prince!!
This makes me cry. I dont care what anyone says, Prince was such a rarity. I still cry over his loss. He understood more than people realised. It wasnt just as a black man, but so much more. He seen his mother abused, he'd been abused, felt like an outsider to his own race at times and his own sexuality. To me as a part Native American woman whom always have felt as an outsider to all parts of herself, Prince helped me to accept my uniqueness. To embrace my ownself and be open and acceptining of love and friendship. I will forever mourn such a amazing human being. He was a person for all people
Boy Jules oh shut up! How many black men wore heels and makeup and were comfortable with being that way and straight especially back then? You are reaching!!!!
His loss hit alot of people hard. He was one of a kind, and irreplaceable. Prince is who inspired my love of music. Thanos to my mom I have loved Princes music since I heard his Purple Rain album. RIP💜💜
He was precious. He had such a hard road. Knowing all his struggles.. I have so much respect for all that he did meanwhile enduring hardships. He made it look easy and yet deep down his personal journey in life was anything but. ❤️
Same here! Definitely a pleasant surprise that they've returned with. Though they've still got PLENTY of pre-existing music videos to catch up with. I hope they don't forget to finish uploading that archive too.
This is the second best version of the song, which is a compliment in itself. Thanks Prince, you paved the way in making Sinead’s version untouchable. Brilliant songwriter.
RIP to both Prince and Sinead. I lost my sister in 2015 and lost my brother this January 2023, both to mental illness. So I understand the struggle. Miss them so much. Lost them and all my fav artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Sinead, Whitney and more. No longer do they have to live in anxious pain or have to wander.
It all seems so efortless and natural... Only a True Genius can pull that off. Most of todays “artists” wouldn’t make it to his backup team of backup singers. I hope he is celebrated for generations to come.
This line always reminds me of my mother, even though I'm sure he wrote it for a girlfriend :) The annniversary of the day she died is coming up this week, so here I am listening to it again tonight. I think this song really speaks to anyone missing someone who has gone away. Bless him. What a big heart he had. :/
Nothing Compares 2 U" It's been seven hours and thirteen days Since you took your love away I'd go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want I can see whomever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing-I said, nothing can take away these blues 'Cause nothing compares- No, nothing compares to you Nothing, nothing It's been so lonely without you here I'm like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every girl I see But they'd only remind me of you I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me? He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do," But he's a fool 'Cause nothing compares- No, nothing compares to you Nothing, nothing All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with me, baby, was some kind of hard But I'm willing to give it another try 'Cause nothing compares- No, nothing compares to you I said, nothing compares to you Oh, no, no nothing compares to you
I spoke the words an sentence loud out. Man. I am really happy i am not in love like that again. When i was, I felted like in a psychosis, it was too strange. Lots of the genious stuff is born in that conditions i think...
@@thatrandomirishpotato4779 No. I thought so until I saw this on UA-cam: she does a simple 'catchy voice' that's Top of the Pops, that's it: but this - original- version is a full- on sound, lovely simple lyric, and he's a lovely dancer. He's having so much fun with it, like a modern Mozart from the film 'Amadeus'. I never 'got' Prince before I saw this recording, he was under the radar for many of us, perhaps his shyness.
I avoid to comment something using words like definitely or the most this or that. Especially about music. It’s so personal. And this song proves it. This version is not my favorite. O’Connors has magnified it.
@Brice Katil Her cover angered him. She never told people it was a cover. She took full credit. He wrote & performed it in 1984. All of his songs were written by him. Theres a few artists that have covered his music, trying to pass it off as their own. However, I do like her cover but for me, nothing compares to Prince's originals. Foo Fighters covered Darling Nikki. They also performed their cover at his tribute after his death because they knew he loathed artists covering his work
And to think this video is of a REHEARSAL!!! Now it is even .more evident why his actual love shows were so damn energetic... The man didn't know how NOT to be a fully energized entertainer be it before hundreds of thousands of people or just practicing with his band! Love forever to arguably the best all out entertainer that I have ever known in my 40+ years in Earth. Singer, song writer, dancer, performer, influencer, mentor, and philanthropist ... 1 year gone and missed like we were related. 😪
Yessss! Right? He wrote this song, Sinead made a SMASH hit out of it, but when you compare it to Prince singing it, it doesnt measure up. Dude was talented like no other, and in a style ALL his own. 🤜🤛
So many on here still thinking this is Prince covering Sinead. Friends, you have it reversed, Prince wrote this in 1984, and 'allowed' Sinead to cover it in 1990. Now sit down for this next one, Prince also wrote Manic Monday and offered it to The Bangles, catapulting their careers, so now you all learned two new things today. Prince wrote hundreds of songs for other artists over the decades. Anyway, fantastic to hear Prince's original version in all its glory. Forever missed, Prince was filled with spirit, goodness, love and compassion, he was superhuman in so many ways, and is indeed a role model, not only as a musician, but as a human being as well. He represented the possibility that we all have inside of us to become better at who we are and anything we set our minds to. Looking into his eyes is like looking into heaven itself, because he was as pure of a spirit as they come. His presence simply cannot be denied. it is why the coolest, most fronting of celebrities, were reduced to the likes of a wide eyed teenage girl at a bieber concert whenever they were in his presence. He was the celebrities celebrity and the musicians musician, a status that was well earned and that he very humbly circumnavigated for quite some time. There will simply never be another like him. God sent him on a mission, and he fulfilled it with flying shades of purple.
3121 MSound Don't think he had anything to do with decision to give it to Sinead....read that the decision was ALL Warner Brothers...cause they had control of his master's at the time.
Sandra Smith No. Even Sinead stated he arranged the song for her to sing it when she did. Warner Bros decision or not, he was a force behind her gaining popularity due to this Prince original.
Carl Pennington This is why he's so great. Even if you didn't like his musical style you'd be a fool not appreciate how prolific of a songwriter he was. Absolute legend.
I was beginning to get worried. Wendy Williams reported last week that Beyonce is the best performer living or dead... and she's a fool.. because nothing compares... nothing compares to Prince!
That is very surprising. If Beyonce didn't have her fat ass, a 20 million dollar production value for her tours, and an army of producers writing her songs, she wouldn't be jack shit but another decent black singer.
Dr. Everything B. Alright WW is a simple crack head. And Beyoncé could be Tina Turner great but she’d rather cater to urban and pop for the bank which constantly disappoints me.
Stupid bitch. He was more than a musician. Can every "true" musician write brilliant lyrics or even write at all? He was a true genius. There I fixed it for you.
Man, can we apreciate Prince's underrated dancing skills on this video. He never showed up so much freedom in dancing like in those practices, his music is not just to enjoy the dance, is really about to enjoy the music concept entirely. With those high heels and movements we could say Prince is the best dancer ever, period.
@@Euro.Patriot Prince wrote all his own music, as well as numerous other entertainer’s number one hits. Prince was a multi-instrumentalist who played those instruments while he sang and danced, which is far more difficult than you may think it is. Michael Jackson was an excellent singer and dancer but he had a full backup band and often didn’t write many of the songs he performed. Your comparing apples to oranges.
Prince attempted to assault her (physically, not sexually) during a meeting because of something he didn't like about it. But you think some 5 foot 1 American geezer is going to get the best of a anybody who grew up in Ireland during the troubles? Not a chance. Doesn't sound like he was the best person ever. Sinead was a gem though, a beautiful soul with more troubles than Ireland, maybe she finally be at peace
@@leighlowe1069 As @brian5307 wrote, she was born and raised in and near Dublin in the south, so she didn't grow up in the Troubles, though she had a tough childhood. You should read her biography.

Never heard Prince preform this song, only knew that he wrote it and O’Conner sang it. Now it’s even more beautiful to me than ever before.
1984’
He had a sampled it and let her have a chance at music and look at where she is and his in heaven but is remember for life

Listen to Chris Cornell's acoustic version. It's bone chilling.
Prince's version with Rosie Gaines is the best version. The sax solo in this is pretty nice though.

That was the year he wrote this song.
I think I like Prince’s version better.
He originally wrote it for a group called 'The Family,' which hit the charts in the early 80s.
I love the sax and the dancing and it's quite a different but beaut version of Price performing it
I definitely love love his song Purple Rain Great Artist. 🎶🎶🎸

Prince’s estate came through!!! :))))
gotta pay the lawyers some way
Nintendog140 you got any details ???I'm curious.
April West on what?
On Prince's estate coming through.
blackmore4 I was complimenting the fact that an unreleased item has been released. What exactly am I being asked?
This version of this song is a masterpiece.
the original and for me the best.
Prince may be the greatest all around artist. The electric guitar, the exquisite song-writing, the pitch-perfect, instantly recognizable voice and, probably most importantly, those DANCE MOVES! I'm 36, too young to truly know Prince, but he was definitely a genius.
I’m 21, so even younger than you, but I love Prince so much and agree that he’s one of a kind ❤
I'm 35 so likewise, I'll never be able to know Prince the way people who grew up with him. But you know what? We have the time to get to know the history and thankfully we get high quality videos like this ♥
Those dancemoves, unnecessary if you ask me, ultimately 'killed' him. Pelvisproblems, strong painkillers and ultimately the fatal unintended overdose....
I am of an age to remember him very well but not listening at the time. His death hit me like brick and won’t forget where I was. Saddest news, listening now I wish I had heard him sooner. He has gone from us, rest in peace beautiful child and thank you for the cream of the crop, priceless talent
This brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful to hear his version of his song but to see him prepare to rule the world is amazing too. But the biggest part is, i miss him so much. The world is so empty without Prince here in it.
The song is so true, when it comes to Prince, “Nothing Compares 2 U” 😢😭💜
glamslamcam I like Princes version of this . I don't care for Sinead Ivonne's version.
Just finished watching the video and I’ve been staring at the screen for 5 minutes. I’m just speechless. This version is everything.
RIP Prince 👑
I can totally relate...I did the same thing!
With his strong dance moves, it would have been so cool to have seen him move on ballroom floor w a dance partner -talk about taking the lead! Whew
Same. I wish I got to see him live.
I'm honestly kind of pissed that I've had to live my entire life without this..
Chloe Dassler Same. Idk why they never uploaded his music videos and exclusive bts footage. :/
Nothing compares to prince. His music just go straight to the Heart.
Definitely does my favorite artist 😍❤️
One of the greatest songwriters/artists of all time
So true respect from England
Don't forget composer, producer..
The best
I was so glad to be living in Minneapolis when he passed. Nothing compares to the love the whole city showed when he passed. The whole city was purple to celebrate his life. He was too ahead of his time with everything. His music, his style and how humble he was.
I am so privileged to have been a teenager growing up in this era. Growing up in the 80s was the BOMB... Thanks for the beautiful memories Prince
La'mico Harris I don’t think there was or will be a greater decade. I heard the 70’s come a close second.
@AriZSaM you're so edgy. It must be so cool being you
La'mico Harris ..music of the 80's will always b d best. 👍
It was an amazing time for us! What I would give to go back in time...if only for a little while!
La'mico Harris saw his Purple Rain tour at the old Omni in Atlanta when I was in HS. I still have the program
It's my personal opinion that Prince was likely the most complete rock star we've ever had the pleasure of listening to and be entertained by -- he was an elite-level singer, songwriter, instrumentalist (of multiple instruments), composer, producer, lyricist, dancer, performer, choreographer, and showman.
A very few in the history of late 20th and early 21st Century western pop music (all genres from rock, R&B, C&W, soul, hard rock, metal, and so on) can claim to score straight-A's on all of those categories -- Prince is one of those few and may, in fact, be the only one who can.
he is my favourite musician/artist of all time. He was the total package!
I love Prince..am not typical fan am 89 yr old lady..just sorry i never saw him in person...have spent many hours on utube enjoying PRINCE...RIP???
@Mr Somebody that's a rude thing to say
@Mr Somebody When people unnecessarily lash out at people it's usually a sign of poor selfesteem. Are you okay there buddy? You need a hug?
@@thewaywelive2775 Why don't you do some research on people who project passive-aggressive behavior towards those they don't feel comfortable with and come back with the results. You might learn something interesting about yourself in the process.
Sinead did the song the justice it deserved. Prince wrote it, yes, but Sinead made it her own with her outstanding vocals.
You say it like writing it... meant very little....
Prince is killing it in those HEELS!!!! THE GOAT
sorry but mj is the goat but he looks good

“All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the backyard... all died when you went away”... there’s so much vulnerability in this line alone, it hurts😢

That struck me too... I've been listening on repeat for an hour now because of it....
"like a bird without a song" 😭
My mom was a big fan of prince. She died this thursday to Covid-19.
And now i find myself drowning in this music. Wish i had delved further into her favorite music.
I'm. So sorry😢
Oh my god, I’m so sorry for your loss... I hope music and love will help you heal your soul
Strength and courage to continue the life in this world, make worth your living in the Earth, may God be with you
So sorry, please be strong🖤
:(
This is great. I know Prince wrote the song but O’Connor took it to a completely different galaxy.
So true ! And I am a lifelong Prince fan, but Sinead - it was her that made this song a spritual experience.
I’m sorry but I’ve heard her sing this song and to me, there’s NO comparison - Prince has the best version. I don’t know how her fans can say she sings better than Prince!
How can an Irish, female folk singer do a song written by a black funk, rock. R&B, soul superstar sing a song he wrote, better than him?
Y’all love her but she had nowhere the talent of Prince Rogers Nelson!
I know you want to give her credit over him because she’s one of yours but that’s just ignorant to think she’s better than him.
Just standing on a stage singing in an off pitch voice while this man is singing, playing guitar AND dancing, you cannot be serious!😂
Plus, I don’t like her - she lied on Prince saying he spit on her or assaulted her or done other BS after he’d written a hit song for her!😡 Prince knew LOTS of women and none have ever said he was aggressive or violent towards them! Guess that’s what he gets for helping the likes of her!
Plus compared to her contemporaries like Kate Bush and Tori Amos, there is no comparison. She is overrated as a singer. More famous for her antics. There is a weird obsession over her death right now that is creepy.
@@kuroneko7022u sound like a fanatic that just doesn't accept the facts...
@@kuroneko7022plus, u are being racist and xenophobic, what a pity. That being said, Sinéad version is light years better...
Prince Rogers Nelson, what a musical and instrumental genius! Such an underrated guitarist and lyricist. He taught himself how to play 27 different instruments!!! 27!!! I cant even name that many. I hope he found peace in heaven that he couldn't find on Earth. RIP dear Prince.
Prince is anything but a underrated guitar player

@@nathanrobbin6341 hes extremely underrated!! If you listen to experts talking about the greatest guitarists of all time, his name isn't even mentioned. Clapton, Hendrix, Page, etc. All the usual suspects but never The Purple One. His guitar playing was absolutely breathtaking.
I know he did. He did not Die, He was accepted by his God in to Heaven. There was a Rainbow over Paisley Park after he passed.
Respect!
Forever purple love 4 u ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Absolutely mind-blowing! Prince's original version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is a testament to his unparalleled songwriting talent. While many know this song from Sinead O'Connor's powerful rendition, hearing Prince's soulful vocals is a deeply moving experience. The raw emotion and vulnerability he brings to the lyrics are simply breathtaking. It's a reminder of his incredible range as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. Thank you, Prince, for sharing this timeless masterpiece with the world. Your music continues to touch hearts and souls. 👑🎶
Yessssss
Yeah but the remake is notably better
@@davidb9531you could say that it's better mixed in the studio, better overall sound and a beautiful voice performance from Sinead.
But technically, musically, this is more sophisticated.
Prince's songs were deeply miving because he wrote them feom personal experiences. Nothing compares to Prince.
@assorita3861 exactly, and some people don't even know that it was prince song and he sang it. So all they know is her version, but they have to listen to PRINCE SING IT. Wow, AMAZING !!!!
Rip To Greatest Musician Ever Prince....Ms.Sinead you gave the world a phenomenal cover and so much more you both were way ahead your time RIP
why am i crying?
Me too :(
Lux Mense because your an idiot
It ain’t for all that !
Lux Mense Cause it hurts .
Lux Mense you ain't the only one who's crying..
I love the emotion in his voice in this version. Lovely!
What a musical genius. What a loss to us all. RIP Prince, nothing compares 2u!!!
It's wonderful to see Prince with all that youthful energy. Thank you Prince - nothing compares to you.
Kind of what I was thinking lol I felt like it's ironic as I was listening.
Glad the woman beater junkie is in hell the whole 4 feet of him
What a legend, wearing heels and dancing some sick moves.
Ok i'm in tears you happy now?
Jade Baraldo no
So am I. 😢
I hear you it made me happy/sad also. Miss him. Knowing I can never see him in concert again is sad!!!

Prince, he was born to do exactly what he did. And man, didn't he do it well?
Jasper Johnson yes. Yes he did!
Yes! And That's why he is an ICON...!!!...
word brother!!
he did it better than anyone yet to come , or anyone in the future,,nothing compares to him,,ever,
Oh he passed with flying colors, God knows❤❤❤
He's so amazing, I love his voice, it's just like magic. I've listened this like 5 times and I'm in love with this version already.
Me too
His death affected me very deeply although I had not listened to his music for a very long time. I wasn't a fan in the sense that I bought all his music and went to concerts, etc, but after he died, I listened to his music for months on a continuous loop. I grieved his loss like I lost a lifelong friend because I had grown up on his music. Music is so powerful. It becomes a part of you even if you do not realize how much it does so at the time.
TammySchmit exactly what happened to me. Took me over a year.. I never thought it would wreck me like that. A piece of me went with him
CES 1 May he rest in peace. ♡

Only a handful of musicians can write multiple hit singles.
Only a handful of musicians can play flawless lead guitar.
Only a handful of musicians have an octave range of G1 to G7.
Only a handful of musicians can move like an acrobat.
VERY few musicians can do any of these things WELL.
Prince did them all... At. The. Same. Time.
His genius is unequaled.
While wearing heels! That’s Prince for you. Only Prince, no one else.
Well said, G Wilson. Well said. #RIP
Don't forget the producing, arranging, and playing all the other instruments, too!
and got so high it kilt him... damn it~
Calvin Cheney - Actually, that’s the downside of acrobatics on heels. He was on those painkillers because of chronic pain, particularly in his hips. The man could not move without excruciating agony.
His OD was because he was given a counterfeit prescription that was mixed with fentanyl, an opioid 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. The man didn’t have a chance.
The precision, the vitality, the youth: what a time to have been alive and enjoying the man's music and artistry! This brings back such great memories from that time...
stylecollective I was only 10 in this era, but it was so cutting edge and it was just amazing! I miss him so
stylecollective I couldn't have said it any better. " What a time to have been alive and enjoying this man's music and artistry"
He was something to behold live during his earlier career! Raw insane unleashed sexuality mixed with spirituality.. it was life changing to see him live.

PAISLEY PRINCESS i was 11
Prince was unbelievable I loved watching him perform. Another loss such a shame🙏

Beautiful. I was his neighbor in the late seventies and eighties on Lake Riley. I lived in Eden Prairie right down the street from where this was filmed. My school bus went in front of his purple house. I was in love with his music at about 8 years old, around 1983. I remember little red corvette playing on the school bus radio as we went down the street he lived on. When you are that little, we just thought, thats where Prince lived. We did not think it was anything more than that, or at least, I did not. I just loved his dirty, sexy, sounds. And the odd part about it is, when he died of opioids, I was shocked. I live in SF now and my brother texted me and said Prince is dead. I left my graduate school classroom (I was going back to school in my late thirties at the time) and I just walked out and bought a bottle of vodka. I walked up to this big, black, bad ass bus driver and I said, Prince is dead. (The news was barely out. My brother happened to be just near paisley park at the time and texted me immediately.) The bus driver said, "no way." He got on his radio and called someone, and came out, and said, "son of a bitch." ....Needless to say, I went to downtown SF bar and bought purple hooter shots for the whole bar and they played prince all day and that night. Then, my mother died of opioids about a year later. We were neighbors. He was probably the most famous black man in MN and my mom was just a modestly poor ex-social worker and they both died of the same thing. The irony and the closeness was a lot to handle. But I thank you Prince for everything you did for the community in my hometown. And my mother too. She was wonderful. Be careful. Opioids, aint nothing to be fucked with. RIP Mom and Prince. Lake Riley, MN. Eden Prairie and Flying Cloud Drive. xo b
This is a beautiful tribute to your Mother and Prince. Thank you for sharing this. Sending you a virtual hug. 💜
Thank you for this tribute. They now live inside your heart and you can share with them a long, meaningful and truly happy life
💜
Your story is touching. Peace be with you.
Most famous man in MN...not just famous Black man
a legend. never forgotten.
I'd be honored if some Prince & Michael Jackson fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of MONEY DONT MATTER 2 NIGHT and MAN IN THE MIRROR on my channel in tribute to these 2 giants of popular music who had an amazing rivalry with each other. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
woah dude i used to watch your league videos damn never expected to see you here after like, two years
*GOAT*
What's GOAT?
Greatest Of All Time
This version is good, but there is something about Sinead's haunting vocals and musical arrangement that gives me chills to this day. Brilliantly written by prince and performed by sinead!
Look up the Chris Cornell cover
Chris Cornell has the best version Imo. You can hear the emotion in his voice.
Amazing to hear him perform it.

RIP Prince. RIP Sinéad. RIP Chris Cornell. All had fantastic recordings of this.
A beautiful, haunting song and a remarkable talent...gone way to soon.
Two of the greatest songs ever ! RIP Sinead the princess and Prince 🤗🤗
I cried through this entire video--watched it on large screen TV. I felt like I was in the front row watching him do those splits in heels, the GREAT moves, guitar riffs, and that voice! “So sexy!" Oh gawd I miss you Prince!! He sacrificed his body, his hips were so destroyed from all that dancing that he took opioids to bear the pain. Here was a Jehovah’s Witness who didn’t drink, was just a DAMNED FINE MAN and he died b/c of unrelenting hip pain. He could have stopped performing, stopped road shows...but he was the consummate musician--he lived to make us ecstatically happy. “I would die 4 U!” And he did. Love you Prince!!
Helen Eschenbacher....Very well, stated!!! I still can't believe he's gone as he was my first concert at 7.
This makes me cry. I dont care what anyone says, Prince was such a rarity. I still cry over his loss. He understood more than people realised. It wasnt just as a black man, but so much more. He seen his mother abused, he'd been abused, felt like an outsider to his own race at times and his own sexuality. To me as a part Native American woman whom always have felt as an outsider to all parts of herself, Prince helped me to accept my uniqueness. To embrace my ownself and be open and acceptining of love and friendship. I will forever mourn such a amazing human being. He was a person for all people
well said maria, i wish you well.
He is among the likes of Mozart, da Vinci, & Einstein with his special genius. I will mourn him until the day I die...
What has his colour got to do with it!!!! Don’t draw him into the race argument!!!!!!
Boy Jules oh shut up! How many black men wore heels and makeup and were comfortable with being that way and straight especially back then? You are reaching!!!!
His loss hit alot of people hard. He was one of a kind, and irreplaceable. Prince is who inspired my love of music. Thanos to my mom I have loved Princes music since I heard his Purple Rain album. RIP💜💜
Amazing footage (video and film stock) I love seeing Wendy! They were young / raw / kicking ass!

He was precious. He had such a hard road. Knowing all his struggles.. I have so much respect for all that he did meanwhile enduring hardships. He made it look easy and yet deep down his personal journey in life was anything but. ❤️
I was afraid I would not receive further notifications from this channel.
💕 Thank you God, Prince is back! 💕
Beatriz Sousa Same here. It had been months since Prince's channel had uploaded anything. This caught me by surprise.
Same here! Definitely a pleasant surprise that they've returned with. Though they've still got PLENTY of pre-existing music videos to catch up with. I hope they don't forget to finish uploading that archive too.
I'm actually shocked that some Prince music is trending
i miss this legend 💜 RIP

This is the second best version of the song, which is a compliment in itself. Thanks Prince, you paved the way in making Sinead’s version untouchable. Brilliant songwriter.
RIP to both Prince and Sinead. I lost my sister in 2015 and lost my brother this January 2023, both to mental illness. So I understand the struggle. Miss them so much. Lost them and all my fav artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Sinead, Whitney and more. No longer do they have to live in anxious pain or have to wander.
George Michael and Tupac too.
I am so sorry for your loss.
@@MnyFrNthng HE IS NOT A PREDATOR.
@@karlc2869 he is. He groomed kids, took them in his bed and sexually abused abd in one case he even tried to have anal sex with a kid.
Live long to remember them (greek wish)
It all seems so efortless and natural... Only a True Genius can pull that off. Most of todays “artists” wouldn’t make it to his backup team of backup singers. I hope he is celebrated for generations to come.
Prince's dance moves tho...
Jahdai Dawes ikr. Perfect
This is why it’s good to do your research the original writer was Prince but Sinead made it what it is x
i find this line very sad "All the flowers that you planted mama
,In the back yard, all died when you went away"..
Sinead O'Connor has said that line made her cry during her close up.
This line always reminds me of my mother, even though I'm sure he wrote it for a girlfriend :) The annniversary of the day she died is coming up this week, so here I am listening to it again tonight. I think this song really speaks to anyone missing someone who has gone away. Bless him. What a big heart he had. :/
It happened to me. Did the gardening in her yard. These days it's a wasteland. She tells me haw shit it looks.
This song always makes me cry and gives me goosebumps

Nothing Compares 2 U"
It's been seven hours and thirteen days
Since you took your love away
I'd go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you've been gone
I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing-I said, nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares-
No, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing
It's been so lonely without you here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me?
He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do,"
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares-
No, nothing compares to you
Nothing, nothing
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with me, baby, was some kind of hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares-
No, nothing compares to you
I said, nothing compares to you
Oh, no, no nothing compares to you
Thank you
I spoke the words an sentence loud out. Man. I am really happy i am not in love like that again. When i was, I felted like in a psychosis, it was too strange. Lots of the genious stuff is born in that conditions i think...
Sinéad version was better
@@thatrandomirishpotato4779 No. I thought so until I saw this on UA-cam: she does a simple 'catchy voice' that's Top of the Pops, that's it: but this - original- version is a full- on sound, lovely simple lyric, and he's a lovely dancer. He's having so much fun with it, like a modern Mozart from the film 'Amadeus'. I never 'got' Prince before I saw this recording, he was under the radar for many of us, perhaps his shyness.
His love
The undisputed greatest musical genius of modern music. Period.
I avoid to comment something using words like definitely or the most this or that. Especially about music. It’s so personal.
And this song proves it. This version is not my favorite. O’Connors has magnified it.
@Brice Katil Her cover angered him. She never told people it was a cover. She took full credit. He wrote & performed it in 1984. All of his songs were written by him. Theres a few artists that have covered his music, trying to pass it off as their own. However, I do like her cover but for me, nothing compares to Prince's originals. Foo Fighters covered Darling Nikki. They also performed their cover at his tribute after his death because they knew he loathed artists covering his work
Michael Jackson was the best..
@@elianad2083get your head checked
Sinead took the song and knocked it out of the ... planet
Wow I didn't know Prince wrote the original. Respect sir.
That footwork, those smiles, his playfulness, his unending drive to give us the best of him, we will carry this forward. This was Prince. 💜💜💜
And to think this video is of a REHEARSAL!!! Now it is even .more evident why his actual love shows were so damn energetic... The man didn't know how NOT to be a fully energized entertainer be it before hundreds of thousands of people or just practicing with his band! Love forever to arguably the best all out entertainer that I have ever known in my 40+ years in Earth. Singer, song writer, dancer, performer, influencer, mentor, and philanthropist ... 1 year gone and missed like we were related. 😪
*live, not love. Damn autocorrect!!
Wish I had been there too to sing and dance with him whilst he created magic. Thank you always Prince, rest in peace xxx
Superb
Beautiful just amazing man miss him!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
2020... brings me tears cause his music never fails to touch my soul 💜
Yessss! Right? He wrote this song, Sinead made a SMASH hit out of it, but when you compare it to Prince singing it, it doesnt measure up. Dude was talented like no other, and in a style ALL his own. 🤜🤛
Prince definitely sounded SO much better singing this ❤️ Rest In Peace Prince..loved and remembered forever ❤️💝💜💜
it also touches my balls
"its been so lonely without u like a bird without a song".....so true PRINCE... I'm so lonely without you
I can't even walk in high heels, & yet Prince could James Brown it across the stage in stilettos. He had some mad skills.
Spiritisalive1 funny you mention this 'cause Prince reminds me of James Brown to a degree. His influence is definitely present.
Man we don’t have icons like this anymore !! Micheal, Whitney , Prince we were so lucky …
Exactly
So many on here still thinking this is Prince covering Sinead. Friends, you have it reversed, Prince wrote this in 1984, and 'allowed' Sinead to cover it in 1990. Now sit down for this next one, Prince also wrote Manic Monday and offered it to The Bangles, catapulting their careers, so now you all learned two new things today. Prince wrote hundreds of songs for other artists over the decades. Anyway, fantastic to hear Prince's original version in all its glory. Forever missed, Prince was filled with spirit, goodness, love and compassion, he was superhuman in so many ways, and is indeed a role model, not only as a musician, but as a human being as well. He represented the possibility that we all have inside of us to become better at who we are and anything we set our minds to. Looking into his eyes is like looking into heaven itself, because he was as pure of a spirit as they come. His presence simply cannot be denied. it is why the coolest, most fronting of celebrities, were reduced to the likes of a wide eyed teenage girl at a bieber concert whenever they were in his presence. He was the celebrities celebrity and the musicians musician, a status that was well earned and that he very humbly circumnavigated for quite some time. There will simply never be another like him. God sent him on a mission, and he fulfilled it with flying shades of purple.
3121 MSound Don't think he had anything to do with decision to give it to Sinead....read that the decision was ALL Warner Brothers...cause they had control of his master's at the time.
Perhaps Sandra, that very well might be the case, luckily that is not intended to be the takeaway from my post. Peace 2 u
He also wrote I Feel for You, which was a huge hit for Chaka Khan, and I like both versions - his and hers.
Sandra Smith No. Even Sinead stated he arranged the song for her to sing it when she did. Warner Bros decision or not, he was a force behind her gaining popularity due to this Prince original.
Carl Pennington
This is why he's so great. Even if you didn't like his musical style you'd be a fool not appreciate how prolific of a songwriter he was. Absolute legend.
What a legend , one of the greatest !
One of? No...he IS the greatest...and will always be!!!
I was beginning to get worried. Wendy Williams reported last week that Beyonce is the best performer living or dead... and she's a fool.. because nothing compares... nothing compares to Prince!
Dr. Everything B. Alright i agree and beyonce was decent.but now her music is stupid.she tries to be something shes not.just because of gay z
That is very surprising. If Beyonce didn't have her fat ass, a 20 million dollar production value for her tours, and an army of producers writing her songs, she wouldn't be jack shit but another decent black singer.
Dr. Everything B. Alright WW is a simple crack head. And Beyoncé could be Tina Turner great but she’d rather cater to urban and pop for the bank which constantly disappoints me.
My my the things some people try 2 say ...
Me and my cousin were just saying that yesterday. She may be a great performer, but she will never compare to Prince or Michael Jackson.
Damn... I had no idea this was a Prince song... that's why is so good! pair that with the voice from Sinead? BOOM!
Not just her voice but her emotion driving it. It’s quite a song here, but Sinead made it something else.
True musician. Happy Friday !

Stupid bitch. He was more than a musician.
Can every "true" musician write brilliant lyrics or even write at all?
He was a true genius. There I fixed it for you.
I'm here on a Friday
@@cccytdi why do u have to be so rude
he looks so free and in his element here , you can see the fun and excitement in his expressions , beautiful footage of the maestro in full flow .
oh absolutely simply flawless
Nice to see all the hard work & practice that went along with all the talent of Prince & the Revolution ...BRAVO! :)
Saw Prince twice. Greatest live performance ever....
Man, can we apreciate Prince's underrated dancing skills on this video. He never showed up so much freedom in dancing like in those practices, his music is not just to enjoy the dance, is really about to enjoy the music concept entirely. With those high heels and movements we could say Prince is the best dancer ever, period.
Michael Jackson
When I see this video, I wonder why so little of this choreography made it into the Purple Rain tour, which was being rehearsed here.
@@Euro.Patriot maybe not,prince just retook his rightful throne
It would take Prince a month straight to show me how to WALK in heels. How the fuck he slides across the floor was amazing

Prince wrote all his own music, as well as numerous other entertainer’s number one hits. Prince was a multi-instrumentalist who played those instruments while he sang and danced, which is far more difficult than you may think it is.
Michael Jackson was an excellent singer and dancer but he had a full backup band and often didn’t write many of the songs he performed.
Your comparing apples to oranges.
Truth! Nothing compares to #Prince 💜 Thanks Prince channel, amazing footage.
RIP Sinead O'Connor...Thank you Prince for writing this timeless classic...RIP 💔
Prince attempted to assault her (physically, not sexually) during a meeting because of something he didn't like about it. But you think some 5 foot 1 American geezer is going to get the best of a anybody who grew up in Ireland during the troubles? Not a chance. Doesn't sound like he was the best person ever. Sinead was a gem though, a beautiful soul with more troubles than Ireland, maybe she finally be at peace
@@leighlowe1069Ah she didn’t really grow up through the troubles living in the south.
@@leighlowe1069 As @brian5307 wrote, she was born and raised in and near Dublin in the south, so she didn't grow up in the Troubles, though she had a tough childhood. You should read her biography.
Eh, Uncle Fester didn't do this song justice
Haha yes Prince was average at best lol@@leighlowe1069
One of the Greatest Artists ever ❤️❤️❤️RIP
