If you love P!nk, then you absolutely have to see one of her most incredible performances. There’s something truly special about watching big stars, who are used to performing in massive arenas, take the stage in a small, intimate setting. And in the UK, one of the most famous places for these kinds of performances is BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room.
Located in the legendary Maida Vale Studios in London, this venue has hosted music legends like Dire Straits, Chris Rea, and Ella Henderson. It’s a big deal to perform here, and every artist who steps into the Piano Room knows they have to bring their best. Often, they surprise the audience by singing a song no one expects—and P!nk was no different.
For her performance, she chose to sing the powerful and emotional ballad Nothing Compares 2 U. This song was originally written by the iconic musician Prince, but it became a global hit in 1990 when Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor recorded her unforgettable version. Her music video was simple yet deeply moving—just her singing against a black background, with her shaved head making her striking appearance even more memorable. The raw emotion in her voice made the song a timeless classic, so P!nk had some big shoes to fill.
But P!nk didn’t just meet expectations—she exceeded them! With the BBC Concert Orchestra backing her up, she delivered a breathtaking performance. She didn’t just match the beauty of Sinéad O’Connor’s version—she brought something fresh and powerful to it. Many people think of P!nk as a fun and energetic pop star, but this performance proved once again just how stunning her voice truly is. Her emotional delivery was so moving that it could bring tears to your eyes.
She captured the song’s deep meaning perfectly. Nothing Compares 2 U is about heartbreak—the kind of pain you feel when you lose someone you love, whether it’s a partner, family member, or friend. That’s why the song has stayed so popular over the years. And now, P!nk’s version is touching people all over again. In just three weeks, her performance has been watched over 130,000 times online, with fans flooding the comments to praise her incredible voice and the emotion she poured into the song.
One fan summed it up perfectly: “I adore P!nk. This song meant so much to me when I was a teenager. Sinéad is an icon, and I never thought anyone could cover this song so well. But P!nk did it. She stayed true to the emotion. Beautiful.”
