when life throws you into fame,life throws you into fame.....When you hold your sense of beauty through all the hypocrisy then you truly are a star......
goes to show. A well written song can be song in diffrent tones and melody to send off the same message. Kurt cobain was definatly a great musician, not just a pot luck lottery ticket.
What else should I be All apologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else should I write I don't have the right What else should I be All apologies In the sun In the sun I feel as one In the sun I'm married Buried I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything's my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua sea-foam shame Sunburn with freezer-burn Choking on the ashes of her enemy In the sun I feel as one In the sun I'm married Buried

I think this is a victims version. Listen to her sing, there is no angst, but there is an incredible torrent of defeat. This is what comes right before the passion when you finally stand up and say NO.
I am certain she could rip it to shreds as well, but this is a calculated pathetic exhausted treatment.

Wow. I pretty much entirely dislike the original version of this song, but she made it listenable! The lyrics are still rubbish, but at least she sings better than Kurt Cobain.
a very spiritual tip of the hat to kurt. this cut is almost completely selfless. her being an artist who understands what its like to be suddenly thrust into the spot light, she is i believe extremely respectful of kurts song. eerily so.
I LOVE her but I agree, very much. I can't imagine anyone singing her songs with the same emotion that she does. I guess the same goes for singing Nirvana.
I agree-this is not exactly "Nothing Compares 2 U."
This is a boring, pointless cover. I suppose they can't all turn out like "Nothing" but she shouldn't have bothered. The Universal Mother record overall is pretty good, this is the worst track.
i think its rather sad that this woman had such a passion to help the abused children but picked such an awfull misguided means of bringing attention to the problem . i suppose her passion and confiction was at the root of a good idea gone terribly wrong.
sorry this version is good, but its nowhere in the relem better than the original. plus the styles of music are so different i would bet that most people arent even fans of both artists. so u really cant compare the 2 versions as 2 which ones better.
I'm glad she made the song her own by not repeating the original cut. I actually didn't know this was by Nirvana until after I heard this song on the radion by Sinéad in 1996.

No no no. She stripped the song of it's rawness and emotion which made it special. I think it's terrible.
