Sinead O'Connor, Irish musician and abuse-victim, was so incensed by Benedict's fake empathy, she wrote a fiery article for the Washington Post where she said:

"Irish Catholics are in a dysfunctional relationship with an abusive organization. The pope must take responsibility for the actions of his subordinates. If Catholic priests are abusing children, it is Rome, not Dublin, that must answer for it with a full confession and a criminal investigation. Until it does, all good Catholics... should avoid Mass. In Ireland, it is time we separated our God from our religion, and our faith from its alleged leaders."

That ol' cueball can still carry a good song.

Again, I say this is THE WORST POSSIBLE version of this song. It is perhaps one of the worst covers EVER. Kurt is the only thing that made the original worth listening to.

I ask myself, what would I think of this if I'd never heard Nirvana's superb original? Answer: I probly wouldn't give it a second thought.

I like it. She's replaced the angst with compassion. Nice.

Not even in the same city. Tori's cover at least replaced the anger with sadness and desperation.

I think I hate it because she over-enunciates everything except when she's being blatantly irish-sounding.

This sucks worse than William Shatner's remake of "Mr. Tambourine Man".

I think she's made this song her own. Very fitting.

i'm a huge Nirvana fan... but like gilmorecairns said below - it's an apples and oranges situation here. i'm really diggin this version a lot on its own. doesnt compare to the original, but it doesnt need to either. she has made it into an entirely different song with new meaning. very cool.

I completely agree with you. It's nice and all but the passion and angst is definitely missing. This makes for a very mediocre cover in my opinion.

Blech.

Sometimes I think there are just too many covers. I find myself in one of those times right now. I don't mind Sinead at all. I like much of her work. This just fell short because it's a lifeless cover.

Apples and Oranges to compare the two versions, you must accept each for what it is. A beautiful song. (a time for angst, a time for sadness...) :goodvibes:

she has a tendency to ding very sadly, i've noticed. her music has a sad feel to it. perhaps she changed it from its angst-ridden roots into a sad kinda song. it's not my favorite work of either artist - but it's okay... meh.

Hmm... never heard this cover before. Not as good as the original, but interesting nonetheless. I agree with a previous poster who noted that you can finally understand the lyrics in this version!

This song aside, I'm having a sublime RP moment... there have been 8 songs in a row that have been really, really divine.

I love her voice, but she murdered this song and then danced on it's grave.

Another Nirvana song that you can finally understand and appreciate the lyrics, once someone covers it.

Grunge was such a waste. All that brilliant writing, and everyone has marbles in their mouth.

I really like the segues and set selection on RP. Going from Wierd Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" to this track is the sort of inspired programming you just can't hear over the air any more.
