Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinéad O’Connor, 1990

Sinéad O’Connor performs ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ on the Late Late Show.

Since her last appearance on The Late Late Show Sinéad O’Connor has got married and written the score for a film in which she also made her acting debut. She has performed live at the Grammy Awards, and her latest record, written by Prince, ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ has jumped from number 30 to number 3 in the UK charts.

Introducing Sinéad O’Connor to perform ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ Gay Byrne says,

If you had a spare few pound like hanging around in your pocket, you could do worse than put it on her for number 1 in lieu of Kylie Minogue by Monday.

This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 26 January 1990. The presenter is Gay Byrne.

Sinead O Connor, for me, is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I love this song so much, It always makes me emotional, her voice is just perfect

I wish they had of let her sing this live, this is clearly miming to the album track, just like TOTP... Sinéad was an amazing live singer, always adding extra notes. R.I.P Sinéad

And there was me thinking that being born with supermodel good looks and the voice of an angel might bring you some happiness in life ...

One of the greatest pop songs ever. Thank you Sinead. And thank you Prince, for writing this very special song.

Breathtaking. She always was. No heels, no sexy outfit, shaved head, pure soul, amazing voice, I cannot not cry. RIP Sinead ❤❤❤❤

[lhart]

So, so sorry for your loss Sinéad! May your son rest in peace!

[deanoevo]

She doesn't just sing, she performs. Her projection of emotion is so raw and real. What this song means to her means just as much to the listeners. Those who have experienced this, understand.

Song brings back memories of a love lost due to my stupidity 😢

[jamesbradshaw]

That song hits home every time that I hear it, it brings a tear to a strong and hard man's eyes. The very great and most Holy Prince wrote this song, The most Blessed Sinead sings this song like no other human person could or will, forevermore

[happy_camper]

One of a kind. My heart goes out to her, she's had a rough go of it in recent times.
