Sinéad O'Connor : Chiquitita (ABBA) 1998

[SmodgeTemptations]

I used to dislike abba but hearing sinead sing this makes me realise they were really good songsmiths .

[SmodgeTemptations]

I love this version .Nice one Sinead live long and record loads you have a beautifull voice .

[mongoose2124]

better than abba, no doubt.

[sethblack40]

a very unique voice im glad i discovered! also like the way she always kept her sound original with that celtic blend of her homeland!

[binitials]

Check out the way she looks today. Same voice, same talent, same arrogance and all, same 'I take myself so fucking seriously' as before, just....different body shape!

[OneEyedWheeler]

I only like one song by Sinead and this aint it. Yeah, good voice but she is a weirdo.

[theknickers]

Wrong video this TThank you.

.,

[1bazmiles]

Stop droning on about her looks or her life and listen to het voice, AMAZING

[Corne010]

This is a Grand Lady, mother of 4 and has had by no means an easy life. She deserves a lot better. Hope she will be ok ASAP. You touched our hearts and we love you Sinéad, be sure of that fact. RESPECT!

[Reeseriver]

This is beautiful. She's quite talented with melancholy melodies. I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. (I concur, I think Sinead's pretty with long hair.)

[BartholomewCounty]

It's not about the hair, it's about the soul.

A beautiful soul.

[BenHeafordArt]

@BartholomewCounty Thank god you said that.

[halation777]

Sinead.. love you ...you are crazy (we all are)....love ya

[lastnameavailableok]

very pretty girl with hair, much better than bald. Bald is only good when its bald downstairs..

[icodlosvinos]

@mymagyarorszag - Eh actually she is back with her husband....

[MyMagyarorszag]

several times married, the last wedding finished after 1 night, additionally several lesbian outings - the proud of ireland is that not, honestly!!!!

[cesarrasec33]

@MyMagyarorszag Why do people go on mixing talent and private life? I just cannot understand it.... How can one thing maculate the other??? please!!

[martineric1966]

best female singer ever

[Cruzmaza79]

i fall in love with you sinnead..youre really look so beautiful...i love you...

[Cruzmaza79]

i love ths womannnnnn my love great voice ...i love this versionnnn

[maglev1971]

wonderful voice

[paraarthur]

PERFECT SINGER



[gunnargunnarmandeln]

Great cover

[purewhitelight1]

Anybody think she looks a small bit like Winona Ryder?

[MrToddytod]

@purewhitelight1 i do!! she's very pretty here.

[MikeHydrosoilsGeo]

Classic and very beautifully rendered, especially when watching the romance of Notting Hill.

[rudyxrudy]

great song terrible synch

[Bezplin]

Rumour this lovely girl would have sex even during the cycle but is not a fan of oral due to the explosion. I love her anyways this song sounds lovely to me.

[magnusp78]

@Bezplin Huh?

[motorradreisencc]

She´s really bretty in this video :-)

[kogea]

too bad she's crazy. she looks really pretty with long hair. i don't why she chose to reject her god given gift of beauty so she could beg for sex on the internet.

[magnusp78]

@kogea What do you mean?

[aluzzz000]

I'm a big fan of ABBA and especially Agnetha!! ... despite this, I must say that this version is amazing, of course not as good as the original with Agnetha as lead singer, but still amazing. Sinead made​it her own in a really cool and good way

[twigagawizard]

she killed it, in a bad way...

[ramses30277]

Amazing the way she sings this very famous song as it was her own,SUPER!

[JaytheOstrich]

How does she sing without moving her mouth or her throat? She's just standing there holding a microphone 1 minute in.. amazing!

[slaktaren93]

åh vad bra hon gör den Sinead o"Connor vilken sång röst hon har

[colin7983]

shes so good and may i say very hot with hair what a voice xxxxxxx

[Infodocus]

Guauuuu... No pienso que sea mejor o peor que la original, pero sí diferente, y con una Sinéad de voz francamente portentosa. Algo hubo en su vida que la hizo la solista idónea para este tema.

[MrJbrennan12345]

She was really gorgeous when she was younger.........She can sing

[PhilErup2000000]

The lyrics look a little out of sync.

[TheVinyltrixta]

i think,never touch the original...abba was the best!!!

[discoduck54]

i love this !

[mollymitch1]

I am not a Sinead O'connor fan but this is good

[2011andres2011]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

nada como Agnetha Fältskog.

[elainefrancesland]

bella bella voce - bella bella donna

[palonazo]

I've finally been able to see the beautiful woman that the shaved skull was hiding.

[claudiatmarion]

She was less f;''#@ed' by her own fame and more intone with her sexuality when this was filmed. It is sad (I feel)....she sings in very well and honestly here. She was much better (green) learning then teaching....Her early songs will always be honest and real.

[malalai79]

She used to be soooo beautiful!

[Campestral]

@malalai79 ha she still is have you seen her!? wow this is some song

[donotsmudge]

Sinead. Her voice is not improved by multi-tracking. Its a shame, she was enchanting without it.

[DorogaVAZ]

Порнография

[BonaDun]

what's the back story?

O'Connor doin a sarcasm point joint?

[trioli10000]

There is nothing to proof, just to enjoy

[itoldyousoisaid]

Say what you want about Sinead but she is a real person, unlike the VAST MAJORITY of the idiots you will see in TV land. Personally i think she has a great spirit, that thing about god not giving talents like hers to bad people rings very true. Sure she has issues who doesnt at least she is open and says whats she thinks at the time another trait you wont see much off unfortunately

[carlo4697]

perfect....- und was weiter?

[sexypoetry]

i want to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.

[txdurk]

Sinead could sing the phone book and make it a hit

[HisSpaceIsHollow]

@txdurk I doubt it since she hasn't had a hit for about 2 decades.

[jeromeetaaron]

i love you for ever sinead

[Birnenpflaume1]

Das passt nicht zu ihr - das ist ein ABBA Song und das wird auch immer so bleiben !!!

[bristolcityifcation]

sinead you sing just like you look a fucking angel !! sent from heaven !!

[SNOFFRU1]

shes hot no matter what....

[eeemanful]

i think sinead is my baby shes proved herself over and over again like she did before,the real to real is i can come home after along day drink 13 beers and listen to her...strait out i m playing her but she older now if i knew her when she was youg i would kiss her and hug her and say thanx to her for insperation and i am a man.I am e-man yes im cute.

[eeemanful]

@eeemanful 

[ramses30277]

Impresive interpetation! Supergood voice!

[police107able]

Super!!!

[crouchhill]

Gorgeous woman but you should see her now, why did you let yourself go woman, or do you know the higher meaning of life, that beauty is only skin deep.

[widebody123]

i thought i would hate this, but i LOVE IT. the only ABBA cover i've ever liked. WELL DONE !!

[manelk8]

Sinead with hair is a rare treat. She must have temporarily gien up her protest of the Church. Always unique

[SemaKra]

canta muito bem,mas não se compara com a original. a original toca o coração,espirito,mexe com nosso emocional!ABBA!!! QUE PENA,NOSSA GERAÇÃO PERDEU O AUGE DESSE GRUPO MARAVILHOSO! QUEEE DÓ!

[marcioamoura1]

MARAVILHOSO,DEMAIS

[horkguy16]

This version absolutely SUCKS!! An insult to the song.

[aasia1111]

رائعة ..مذهلة

[theaethyr]

die frau ist der hammer !!! geiles cover und mit langen haaren bist du wunderschön :) 

[suelen700]

who is she ?

[SauronsEye]

I prefer her without hair.

[danbeccaria]

Sinead is beatiful in anything!

[11roxiegirl]

Why would you wreck such a classic song! sorry, not a fan of this.

[913159410]

haha my name is Chiquita. lol

[valjean1ful]

Sinead is pretty with long hair

[otisore]

@valjean1ful she is beautiful both with and without hair

[ramses30277]

For me she made a beautifull version!

[EnjoyTheSurface]

there is no music too "sacred" to cover, enjoy or change channel

[bullybullyful]

Sinead O' Connor with hair and wearing a dress??...Whatever, she still looking sexy and unique!!

[mcbronca]

adorei a performance o'connor...o arranjo para a bateria foi fantástico...mas, como nada é perfeito, o trabalho de sincronismo desse video é uma lástima...nada sincroniza com nada...um verdadeiro caos...

[334alexstone]

she's very beautiful with hair . and her younger years.

[TrafficSpark]

Sinead is one of the great artists!!! She sure is a cutey in this video!!!

[ekos012]

Compared to ABBA, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being low and 10 being high) I give Sinead's cover a : 2. It is easy to understand that many artists choose to do a cover of an ABBA song because ABBA created so many Beautiful songs. Unfortunately, as with Sinead, most fall short in their efforts. Some should not have tried to do an ABBA cover in the first place no matter how much they love the song.

[skiyerinsp]

@ekos012 ::: Absolutely...!!! Sinead is not even even remotely close to listenable..! She has tried to infuse the modern voice over at the end of the phrase...with " I know"...and fails pathetically..!

[skiyerinsp]

She is a great singer..but I sincerely hope she does not try to emulate any legends lika ABBA...for she will always find herself with a short straw..!

[MrSebboxxx]

@ekos012 Sinead has much more emotion and deepness to offer - which ABBA could never reach - my opinion :-)

[ekos012]

@MrSebboxxx No fault can be found in one's personal opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I disagree though with you, but that's just my opinion. Since ABBA created Chiquitita I urge you to go back and rewatch videos of the band's performance and listen to Agnetha's crystal clear voice and her inflection. Maybe you will see their offering differently. Maybe not.

[MrSebboxxx]

@ekos012 anyway there is no doubt for me that Sinead is the greater artist in comparison with ABBA - ABBA means smoothing on the surface - Sinead for me stands for deep emotion an sensibility - my opinion :-)

[ekos012]

@MrSebboxxx P.S. I have seen postings here refering to Sinead's activist activities concerning children (The Pope etc.). I wonder if you , and others, know that ABBA donated the copyrights and royalties, from this tremendous hit, to UNICEF for the survival, protection, and development of children. They have performed in many charity concerts for children, and Frida still owns,funds, and operates orphanages in Europe. That dosen't make their song better, but adds background for the song.

[ekos012]

[MrSebboxxx]

@ekos012 but those activities you mention have nothing to do with singing performance of an artist

[ekos012]

@MrSebboxxx I didn't say they did.

[ekos012]

@ekos012 I didn't say that ABBA's activities had anything to do with singing performance ( what I ment to say a few seconds ago). But if you want to talk about greater artist, let's see. ABBA sold almost 1/2 BILLION record units; for a concert at Albert Hall in London tickets were only available through mailed in application. Number of requests: 3.5 MILLION, if a ticket were sold for each request the crowd would have been TEN times the size of WOODSTOCK. Could Sissel do that? Need smoothing? No.

[ekos012]

@ekos012 Sissel also did an ABBA cover with no where near the same success. Madonna did an ABBA cover without the same success, etc. Could Sinead perform live in concert and receieve 3.5 million requests for tickets. ABBA was also offered 1 BILLION dollars to perform in concert again and turned it down. They have won awards that had previously been given only to classical musicians. Need smoothing? The most successful Pop band in the history of music? Come on now!

[ekos012]

@ekos012 in conclusion ,MrSebboxxx, "ABBA means smoothing on the surface" sounds to me as if you veiw the band as almost supperficial while Sinead is deeply emotional and has more sensitivity; almost like your saying ABBA relied on and offered a smooth surface, maybe sensational stage hype for their music to be successful. With the complexity of their music and their outstanding vocals sung with soul I don't think "smooth on the surface" is accurate. But, I do respect your opinion.

[MrSebboxxx]

@ekos012 sorry my englisch is not so good to really express what i mean -

i could better tell it in german my origin language :-)

[nyhamnen]

@MrSebboxxx

Und warum machts Du das nicht? Wir sind viele die Deutsch verstehen können! mfG aus Schweden.

[horkguy16]

@MrSebboxxx If she is so "deep" then why is she doing a remake of a number 1 hit from ABBA? She's not even in the same league as the 2 angels. This version is garbage.

[kris1976me]

@horkguy16 I would like you to sing it like her! with the high tones...

[50maz]

She very nice with hair , wow

[euroman32589]

what a load of self centerd puke...give prince a call sinead....you'd never know!!!!...

[veemeeeee1]

Every note Sinead interprets with her lilting voice is a masterpiece.

[TWAtraveler]

This bitch is nuts! Screeches like a whore in heat! Just another Irish hater pig.

[speccyride]

@TWAtraveler so sad, that you are so sad with yourself.

[chor631]

este tema me hace acordar mucho a mi vieja!!!!

[MrSebboxxx]

... diese coverversion ist so super :-) sie geht über ABBA hinaus ...

[nyhamnen]

@MrSebboxxx

Sehr gut, zwanzig Jahre nach ABBA... Was sagt uns das von ABBA? Zwanzig, fünfzig, hundert Jahre von hier sind sie noch da....

[nyhamnen]

@MrSebboxxx

Very good, twenty years after ABBA... What does this say about ABBA? Twenty, fifty , a hundred years from now they will still be there..

[MrSebboxxx]

@nyhamnen i think Sinéad brings more feeling and emotion than ABBA

[nyhamnen]

@MrSebboxxx

Jedermann für sich.... die Frage ist frei. ABBA sind da.... für immer.

[nyhamnen]

@MrSebboxxx

Tres bon Sinéad, mais ABBA, depuis vent ou cent ans ils sont les meilleure....

[MrSebboxxx]

@nyhamnen i like Sinéad more :-)

[Jigpikchu]

I love you Sinead !! beautiful cover ......

[ShiroiJime]

Que lindo canta... *-*

[jamdantas]

The sun is still in the sky and shinning above us...

[skunedknuckle]

hay did the Pope see this ???????????????

[MrSebboxxx]

i love her :-)

[ShiroiJime]

@MrSebboxxx I love her too...

[shvmjn]

She looks and gestures exactly like Wynona Ryder

[N1k1mon]

@blondemax Yeah, its amazing that in a song speaking out against the cover up of child abuse and the freedom of all peoples from the bondage of madmen, what angers some people is the tearing of the picture of an ex Zyklon B salesman to the Nazis. The crimes of the Vatican are very well documented and more is coming out every year. Help commit atrocities against mankind of various sorts over ones life but its somehow evil to rip up a piece of paper with that mans image on it. Absolutely backwards

[Sadarsa]

@blondemax phycopathic nutter? if your refering to her protest against the pope for his involvment in the the cover up of the abuse of children.... then yes she's a "nutter" for trying to bring it to the worlds attention. It's truly a shame her words fall on deaf ears and the only thing people see is her ripping up a picture.

[blondemax]

@Sadarsa Possibly her finest moment.

the catholic church is as evil and backwards as synagogs and temples and meccas all over the world

[N1k1mon]

@Sadarsa You'd think the majority of people would look into why she did it & if they didnt know already that theyd want to look into it. The ripping of the picture harmed the man in no way, it was supposed to wake people up. The Irish know first hand the consequences of Religion being used as a tool & a cloak for evil. Most Americans were happy & comfortable on their sofas & didnt want to be bothered by reality. PJPII will work out his karma & be free one day but the truth needed to come out.

[nicholasts11]

@blondemax how did she?

[SuzaneVonRichthofen]

Sinead, you were the platonic love of my life LOL teens will be silly

Wish you nothing but the very best things life can bring to you

[EdwinZiberg]

She is Amazing !

[flogginyerbanterbox]

my god u sill stuck on the effin hair?

-- u silly lil b---- - well have fun with it, and be sure to judge all yer frinds as im sure u already do :))

u listend to micheal jackson and am sure u woulda sent your kids to the ranch too ! fuckin sicko!!! well tell yea what, she has no hair - go away now and zap yer brain on some jerry springer - n - go back 2 sleep THANKS!!

[admi908]

she was very beautiful with hair!

[matjesworld]

What a beautiful woman she is, and she has the most beautiful eyes in the business...BTW, I don´t like ABBA, but this song is great!

[Inte100]

I get goosebumps. It was a while since I've listened to Sinead. And doing it to an ABBA song is not bad at all.

Amazing to be true.

[thhorrorthepain]

yes you can say she's better being shaven and all, but she obviously looks better with longer hair-at least a hairstyle like this.

[elita4321]

se ve tan linda con el cabello largo!!

[gjosesousa65]

Sensational!!! It's wonderful remember the past with a so beautiful voice like this!!!!

[Helena5434]

Как жаль, что из такой красотки Шин превратилась в ........

[sixtiksix]

Sinead is Awesome....great..but she fukken slaughters this one....sorry can't beat the original American version...



[springmaze]

@sixtiksix The original ABBA version, which is 100 percent Swedish??

[es78xx]

can't get used to her with hair sorry.

[Corbon440]

Everyone is looking better with hair.

[daviskeithrobert]

Just Groovy

[Brennna]

She looks great both ways.

[missatomickitten]

sean mclaughlin will never know how many lives his wee poem touched rip

[szilvi4]

I love her and this song also

and mostly thanks to you for the subtitles above!!!!

[Arbeedubya]

I've mentioned on other Youtube forums that I've always considered her to be a very lovely woman, regardless of her hairstyle, but I would be less than honest if I denied preferring her look in this video to her shaved head and baggy clothes. I know she adopted that look so she would be judged by her talent and not by what a babe she was, and I respect her for it, but I am a guy, and I still like her better looking at least a little more feminine.

[Hoireabard]

I always thought she was intensely beautiful without hair. I had never seen her with hair but, after seeing her with hair, I think she is as beautiful as any supermodel ever! And there has never been a more expressive singer. She is truly a sensitive artist. The very best!

[missatomickitten]

god bless the families of omagh

[kaila247]

you go girl lovin that hair i'll do thums up

[Joancaldwells]

@kaila247 she looks much better without hair. Strong woman!

[kaila247]

you go girl

[maipful]

this is great.

[gLukas09]

Sinead with hair?The most beautiful girl I ever saw!

[speccyride]

urgh, theres no need for how much i love her!

[leosky2]

sinead is a really diamond, the brighter. i love her...

[HAUSTORcro]

omg Sinead with hair, so gorgeous

[lawseyd]

omg what an AMAZING VOICE love it

[1manfactory]

very VERY good!

[leafyutube]

Why do singers always make fuck faces?

[davesommers2]

I have to be honest - I'm not into chicks without hair, but I think she's more beautiful with a buzz cut.

[schusterlehrling]

She is no match for Agnetha.

No feeling, weaker voice and sounds like she reads a telepromter.

[buidseach]

I think shes a bit gone in the head a bit like most females.

[64berber]

@buidseach are you witty or what? I burst out laughing!

[fumetti]

She actually looks hot here...hair does make men take notice, Sinead you feminist bitch.

[jampie06]

So I guess it is true that Sinead is a woman after all.

[inbal66]

this woman sings to my inner self all the time I do think she is enlightened being

[captainkayos1]

Sinead O connor is a gem. Many years ago I did not like her at all but age can mature us like a fine wine and this lady has such a place in my heart...so does this song. Magic

[jara000007]

para empezar me gustan sus dientes, y luego verte , es lo mas

[criscros7]

Video seems kinda unrelated to the audio.

Still beautiful, tho.

[INITIALSJE]

i think the timing is off a bit.

[EDOM666DEVORE]

wow she is really hot why would she shaved her head

[karinascaturro]

Que hermosa está en éste video!!!!

[xprzemek1410x]

I love this version!
