Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard Honor Sinéad O'Connor on "SNL50"
During the "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary special, Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard performed Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," paying tribute to iconic Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor.
In 1990, O'Connor made the song famous with her powerful cover on her album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." Her controversial 1992 "SNL" performance, where she tore a photo of Pope John Paul II, had a profound impact on her career.
Banned from "SNL" and facing public backlash, O'Connor remained defiant. In her 2021 memoir, she stated that the incident "put me back on the right track."
Cyrus and Howard's performance pays homage to O'Connor's legacy as a fearless artist. The duo delivers a stirring rendition that showcases both their musical talents and respect for O'Connor's iconic status.
