August 27, 2007 Flashback Video: “Nothing Compares 2 U”
Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” has to be one of the most striking videos I have ever seen; it still gives me chills! The video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” was directed by John Maybury and widely considered to be one of the best videos of the 1990s. What I love about the video the most is that the video consists almost solely of a closeup on O’Connor’s face as she passionately sings the song’s lyrics. The video’s legendary moment comes toward the end, when genuine tears rolls down each side of her face! You better work! It was rumored that these tears were caused by the lyric “All the flowers that you planted, Mama” which was a reflection of the rocky relationship she had with her late mother whom she claims abused her.
