Pink And Brandi Carlile Honor Sinéad O’Connor With Gorgeous ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ Cover
etcanada.comPink and Brandi Carlile are honoring the late Sinéad O’Connor. After news of O’Connor’s death broke on Wednesday, Pink and Carlile took the stage in Cincinnati, Ohio, to pay tribute to the Irish-born global star with a stunning duet of “Nothing Compares 2 U.” The duo is currently on tour together, with Carlile serving as support on Pink’s North American Summer Carnival 2023 dates. “When I was a little girl, my mom grew up in Atlantic City and I used to go down to the Ocean City Boardwalk with my ten dollars and I would make a demo tape,” Pink told the audience, according to Billboard. “I would make a little cassette tape and imagine it was my demo for the record company.” She continued, “And it would always be either ‘Greatest Love of All’ by Whitney Houston or ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ by Sinéad O’Connor.
So in honor of Sinéad, and in honor of my very, very talented friend Brandi Carlile, I asked her if she would come out here and sing this song with me.” Several fans captured snippets of the performance and shared them on social media, with one fan calling the rendition “so beautiful, it made me cry.” “Bittersweet moment,” Carlile wrote on her Instagram Story, sharing a video clip of the emotional moment at Great American Ballpark.
Back in May, Pink performed “Nothing Compares 2 U” during an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room. The clip has since resurfaced and is making the rounds on social media.
O’Connor, who became an international star in 1990 with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” died at age 56, according to multiple reports published Wednesday.
