The 5 greatest Nothing Compares 2 U versions of all time, from Sinead O’Connor to Prince

This week, we said goodbye to the legendary Sinead O’Connor, the Irish singer known for her incredible voice and SNL protest.

It has everyone singing her most famous recording, the cover of Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U that was accompanied by a video of the singer staring into the camera — and into our souls — as she sang. Iconic.

And on the day O’Connor’s death was announced, P!nk and Brandi Carlile sang the song in front an awed crowd. The duet is gorgeous.

Is it one of the greatest versions of the song? I think so. Let’s dive in with the best of the best:
