59. Sinead O'Connor, "Nothing Compares 2 U"

March 31 - April 6, 1989



I'll always wonder if her pop status would have survived the pope nonsense if she had been hawking this song rather than an album of Broadway ballads and standards at the time. But when you hear her improve and take ownership of a Prince song (beforehand, they usually improved and took ownership of you), one can understand why she thought she could get away with an album of Broadway ballads and standards.

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

Comments:
Tearing up that pic on SNL was the Guillotine Career move of all time! The next week, Goodfella's Joe Pecsi dug Sinead a deeper hole when he said he'd have ripped her eyebrows off for doing it.
