OT: Just perfection, please listen to end

[NEforceUConn]

Might be best song ever sung.



Wow, I would have paid big bucks to hear that live.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Maybe Whitney or Celine Dion. I realize Sinead doesn’t have a big library, but sometimes greatness happens once.

One of those...."sometimes greatness happens"...an unforgettable tune

Song written by Prince Rogers Nelson.

 

[HuskyNan]

Really? I couldn’t stand that song from the first time I heard it.

 

[Conndog]

Nope.

 

[Centerstream]

One of the worst performers that I have ever seen and heard. Period.
But thanks for sharing.

 

[meyers7]

Ok, I did listen to it. But I'm thinking I like the studio version better. Sometimes live is better, sometimes not.

At least she didn't tear up the Pope in this performance.

I'm in full agreement Nan. I'll give her credit for hitting notes that few can hit and having a powerful voice but none of that makes the song good. It has no melodic flow and and there are a couple cringeworthy points where her voice jumps to notes that just don't fit.

 

[Hoophound]

I like it. The song got on my nerves when it came out and was on the radio every 10 minutes, but it was a great song,

She was very talented. Mental problems and other issues made her polarizing, but there is no denying the talent.

 

[temery]

C- at best.

If you want to hear female vocals that are as close to perfection as a human can get I recommend this. Some may be too young to know who this is but, while a good amount of their music may have been a bit too saccharine, her voice was as good as any. she left us far too soon. And by the way, she was born in Connecticut.

Can’t disagree with that.

But I found this little gem (thought I was going to include an Olivia Newton John but:

Whitney Houston & Natalie Cole - Say A Little Prayer

Whitney and Natalie singing so wonderfully!!!

But if I’m being totally honest, this is me

 

[storrsroars]

I actually kinda like the Prince version with Rosie Gaines more than Sinead's version.

As far as voices go, best I ever heard live was Minnie Ripperton. Saw her at the old Palladium opening for George Benson back in '77. That woman hit notes I didn't know existed.

Song written by Prince Rogers Nelson.

Chris Cornell did a much better version of the song, imho

 

[HuskyNan]

Nope, Annie Haslam rules. I’ve seen Renaissance about 10 times in concert. This was their only Top 40 hit

 

[HuskyNan]

…but this is one of my favorites

Nice.

Nan, didn’t know you were a Renaissance groupie

Eh, not for me. I don't like a lot of female voices. They have to be distinct for me. This one is just a "pretty voice", but nothing unique.

She’s classically trained, like Sarah Brightman, so her voice isn’t for everyone. Opera haters, beware

 

[HuskyNan]

Nice.

Oh, yes, for ages
