Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard Sing ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ on ‘SNL50,’ But Don’t Reference Sinéad O’Connor Controversy


On "SNL50," Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard covered "Nothing Compares 2 U," the Prince song famously covered by Sinead O'Connor.

Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard appeared to honor Sinéad O’Connor during “ SNL50: The Anniversary Special” on Sunday night. In 1992, O’Conner performed a cover of Bob Marley’s “War” on “Saturday Night Live.” At the end of the episode, hosted by Tim Robbins, she ripped up a photograph of Pope John Paul II. As she threw the pieces onto the floor, she said, “Fight the real enemy.” Following the performance, she shared that she made the move as an effort to call out sexual abuse happening in the Catholic Church.
