Sinead O'Connor


Another well known video is Sinead O'Connor- Nothing compares to you. The clip consists almost solely of a closeup on O'Connor's face as she sings the lyrics; the rest consists of her walking through an unknown area of Paris. Towards the end of the video, two tears roll down her face, one per cheek. O'Connor stated on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s that it was caused by the lyric "All the flowers that you planted, Mama/in the back yard/All died when you went away," because she had a very complex relationship with her late mother, whom she has claimed abused her when she was a child. This video become famous due to the real life scene, it shows her emotions, it is very truthful whilst telling her story of her relationship with her mother.
