The pair performed a heartfelt cover of O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' at Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark on Wednesday night following the singer's death at age 56.

The music world mourned the loss of Sinead O'Connor, an iconic vocalist known for her emotional poignancy and fierce independence. Just hours after the news of her passing at age 56, P!nk found a touching way to pay tribute to the late singer during the first U.S. date of her Summer Carnival tour.

In a poignant moment, P!nk shared a personal story with the crowd, recalling her childhood days when she would visit the Ocean City Boardwalk with dreams of making it big in the music industry. She would record demo tapes, and two of her favorite songs to imagine singing were Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" and O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U."


With O'Connor's recent passing in mind, P!nk decided to honor her by inviting her talented friend Brandi Carlile to join her onstage and perform "Nothing Compares 2 U" together. The song, penned by Prince, is a heart-wrenching love ballad that showcases O'Connor's incredible vocal abilities and emotional depth.

Pink said:

“When I was a little girl, my mom grew up in Atlantic City and I used to go down to the Ocean City Boardwalk with my ten dollars and I would make a demo tape… I would make a little cassette tape and imagine it was my demo for the record company."
“And it would always be either ‘Greatest Love of All’ by Whitney Houston or ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ by Sinead O’Connor. So in honor of Sinead, and in honor of my very, very talented friend Brandi Carlile I asked her if she would come out here and sing this song with me.”

Fans loved the performance and joined the singers in honoring the late O'Connor.








The collaboration between P!nk and Carlile was not only a display of their vocal prowess but also a testament to the power of music to evoke emotions and connect people. The two artists sang with conviction and passion, making the song their own while honoring O'Connor's legacy.

Afterward, P!nk reminded her audience that you "never know what people are going through" and added that it's "not that hard to give people a smile… we’re all learning that lesson together now.”

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
