  • MASTERPIECE !!!!! MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL! Sinead Rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Her voice is beyond compare.. Irish humor great, I love her wiping the crumbs and then dropping them to the floor!!! Cute litttle jig too.

  • more rubbish

  • :)

  • i luv it!

  • thank you! I found the Album already.

  • where do I find this song? is it on an album?

  • @gaischni Yes, I have this.. if you want, I can send for you.. Sorry about my english... if you want, my adress fernandoengllert@hotmail.com , messenger.

  • Excellent ... AbbA generation

  • this was so wonderfully feminine--

    beautiful interpretation!

  • awful

  • Not a bad version.

  • Love this version! Love her way ,super!

  • I love this woman, I realy do...

  • This is exquisite but the video is crap - so I just shut my eyes and go to heaven, an Irish heaven.

  • I ust cry, it is so beautiful

  • lindo...linda, maravilhosa...te amo gata

  • I love you Sinead!!

  • sinead es y sera siempre la gran representante de irlanda...es grandiosa,mente poetica

    

  • If I was sad I think I could do a lot worse than simply have a chat and a cuppa with Sinead. Lovely girl! Lovely song! Lovely vid!

  • ¡QUE HERMOSO VIDEO!!!!!! ME ENCANTO Y EL CAFE DELICIOSO, FELICITACIONES INFINITOS 10 TKM

  • Simply an excellent cover! Curiously, although the lyrics are the same, I get different vibes from the two songs. The original stuns me with the vocal arrangement that is typical to Abba, this one... well, this one has the hairs on my back stand up. Just brilliant!

  • why are you comparing abba with sinead? where is the artistry of the song then? people should be happy because the song is beautiful, performed and interpreted by different singers.

  • lindo melhor do que com o grupo ABBA.....

  • Q coisa louca esse vídeo....Sinead cantado Chiquitita do ABBA.....Bellissíma

  • I'm not a Sinead O'Connor fan, but this was a passable version of the ABBA classic, even if the tempo was slowed down quite a few degrees! Next to ABBA's original, however, it doesn't stand a chance. Agnetha's angelic voice in the original ABBA hit is miles ahead of O'Connor's!

  • Some songs just aren't supposed to be re-made, and this is one of them. Only the 2 angels are the ones who can express the heart and soul of this song. Sinead O'Connor has plenty of talent that she doesn't need to tamper with a masterpiece.

  • I was searching for this video for a long time! Happy to hear it and to see it.

  • suena muy Techno

  • What's not to like???

  • I agree about the "Day Before You Came," but I also agree that, by and large people should leave ABBA well alone, one of the many reasons why I can't watch "Mamma Mia,"

    This being one of the only other cover version that I've enjoyed.

    Great songs deserve great respect not some half baked karaoke abomination, which is what you get with the vast majority of attempts!

  • Can't hold a candle to the original

  • did she sing this as if about northern ireland?

  • beautiful!!!! :)

  • I love everything about this woman !!!

  • I'd give anything to have a cup of coffee with Sinead!

  • @Stiggy333  me 2

  • jamas lo hubiera imaginado este gran cover de ABBA que siempre me ha gustado haya sido interpretado por la Diva irlandesa Sinead O'Connor...fantastico !!!!

  • Great mistake, Sinead :-( Never mess with something like a legend like ABBA. You have such a beautiful voice and have wonderful songs on your own. The voice is touching as ever, but the rest is a complete desaster. Sounds like a grammar school band.

  • WOW :) !!!... This is the first time I saw this video or heard her remake....This is just great!!! Where was I when this came out??? Well I can enjoy from now on... Thanks for sharing :)

  • simplesmente fantástico, Sinead O'Connor e ABBA o casamento perfeito

  • simplesmente fantástico, Sinead O'Connor e ABBA ocasamento perfeito

  • this version is divine

  • i love this version, makes me cry every time I hear it though.

  • It's the best version I heard and saw so far .. I fell in love the subject Thanks Sinead...

  • i love her house!

  • me la cantaba mi mamá y en la versión de Sinead, mucho mejor!!!!!!

  • me la catab mi mamá y en la versión de Sinead, mucho mejor!!!!!!

  • Much better than Abba's version which is throwaway pop. Sinead's version has soul.

  • LESAVING COULOUR

  • Watch her moves--she sings and acts simultaneously and her wonderful humor is the greatest--she's so very funny.Top shelf vocals,she's got it all and always has.An extraordinary woman.

  • @slippergirl1 only a real fan of Sinéad comments as you do, watching those details of her, i admire her too, in a lot of aspects, an extraordinary woman :-)

  • oh please

  • i love this version of sinead---and damn !!! SHE'S SO GORGEOUS..I LOVE HER

  • I love & admire her: such a great & brave & beautiful woman & artist.

  • It's a nice cover, mjuch better than the original which I don't like... but it's the combination with the clip that makes it really powerful for me

  • Have to say the girl can sing and does an amazing job with this song! Funny how the nutjobs (Sinead, Pink etc.) can just flat out sing!

  • wow! Lion and the Cobra was one my favorite albums but I think Sinead shouldn'r have done this classic. Its such a beautiful, hard song to sing with feeling and I don't think she did. didn't like it. sorry.

  • I second this. I am so used to listening to the original, that putting a beat to it is just plain strange, and I believe it takes away from the feeling of the original. Abba's version is, I think, meant to be listened to while crying about some hardship, and abba are singing the song to you.

    This version doesn't lend it to believe that I can cry and be consoled by the song.

  • yeah...about that...not a good version of the song and the guitar at the end sucked. didn't like it at all

  • I love .. love ...love this song... I lover her version of Chiquitita.

  • i had some dreams there were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee

  • wow, I've been looking for this video for so long! I saw it on TV like 8 yrs ago, and since then it's been looking like vanished...

  • Comment removed

  • Bullshit !

  • This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. The complex rhythm makes a huge difference, as does her unique vocal style.

  • the sun is still in the sky and shining above you.

  • happybirfdaybawb

  • Rarely is it so, but this cover is better than the original, imho.

  • This video is realy a treasure!! thanx 4 posting it!

  • (from Lithuania) Sinead, You are the best!

  • Ova treba je najjača. Zako

  • I love Ms O'Connor, that woman always was strong and brave.

    I love this very personal cover with irish sound.

    Thank you for posting !!!!!

  • very good cover.

  • Oh, god, what a wonderful... sinead, you are my friend, i love you so much!

    thanks for posting.

  • a comforting song for a troubled dear friend, and a gesture of offering a good coffee would open up a long, quiet and deep-seated pain chiquitita has been through. that's what this video meant to be...

  • Why'd she cut her hair? Saw her with a bit of hair in another Chiquitita video and she looked absolutely stunning! Just curious why she cut it off.

  • such a pretty girl

    i know her message was good but i still think she should have kept long hair :(

  • Magic - she's done it again.. Thanks so much for posting :)

  • Esta canción per se es hermosa. Sinead la canta muy bien, me gusta mucho!!

  • A la rubia me la cojo ajajjajjajajjajajjj xD

    naa que ver hablo wevadas

  • she never misses a note. never.

  • Intreguing choice of setting for the song.

  • Brilliant, great song and great performance by Sinead. The clip is funny, at odds with the sadness of the lyrics. She didn't look impressed when she smelled the milk hehe.

  • Thanks seems so inadequate. I have seen this video once before, over 10 years ago, and been trying to find it ever since. Superb video sung by a superb singer of a superb song. Thank you so much my friend.

  • i really like this version. sinead always gives an edge to the material that she sings. she is awesome.

  • After a second viewing, I think I understand more clearly the events of this tragic, yet uplifting video. You see, because chiquitita is in so much pain, the video is advocating mercy killing. She clears the cocaine off the table, suggesting that one must be doped up to poison someone to death, even in the name of mercy. The creamer is poisonous, as evidenced by her gnarly sniff of the glass. In unrelated news, Navy Blue is Sinead's sexiest color to wear.

  • Okay....what about this video advocates mercy killing? And where and when does she clear cocaine off the table? It seems that she's cleaning up after breakfast....I truly think you've had a little too much creamer yourself!!

  • And before you get too goofy, I too love her music.....I just don't see it the way you do...

  • Holy Christ, I never knew there was a video for this. Whoever directed this video feels exactly like I do. It WOULD be like going to heaven to have a cup of coffee with this dashing Irish lady. OR, and more cynically, are we to assume she poisons us with the smelly creamer, causing us to die? It would still be worth the death cup to hang with Sinead.

  • you need a life, the video merely depicts a frens lending some time to listen to listen to the sadness encountered by her fren.

    you can even place urself as if she's talking to you.

  • Man, you need to learn how to spell

    "frens", "cuz", "fren"

  • Though I agree gpwhitem needs a life

  • hahahaha.... i normally goes fren, cuz, frens when its informal or not serious but when its formal, believe me, I am professional.

    thank you!!

  • Totally agree, beautiful, intimate video.

  • very simple video, so true, so beautiful...so ...i have no words... just amazing .... thank you for sharing...

  • Oh thank you thank you thank you!

  • better than Abba

  • its good cuz its remixed but can never better than Abba but its good nontheless :)

  • She does a real good job here.....but better than ABBA?......I don't think so! Even Sinead would say that it was an honor to cover ABBA's famous song for UNICEF ! All of the proceeds of this song has gone to UNICEF, and always will....!

  • Love that she is wearing a war child t-shirt.

  • Thanks for sharing. The only good cover of an Abba song! The guitar work at the end in inspiring & Sinead turns a twee song into a moment of passion as always.

  • @dowdalli You should hear Blancmange's excellent cover of The Day Before You Came then.
