Make Mine a Triple...

Okay, I'll just quickly do this before I go off to bed, because I can sometimes sneak a quick blog at work if it's a waffle type post, but it's harder to do the videos when the boss has his back turned...

Looking back at the artists I've picked so far, there's a lack of the fairer sex, so I've decided to give the girls a shot for the next couple of days, starting with Sinéad O'Connor - controversial, mad as a box of frogs, but a fantastic voice.

First up, a live performance, and I've never heard her perform this particular song before, but it just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"...

Then, my favourite Sinéad track of them all... "My Special Child" - Makes me cry every time...

And lastly, "Mandinka" - a live performance from the 1989 Grammy Awards, and a contrast to her ballads...

And I deliberately didn't pick "Nothing Compares 2 U", even though it is fantastic... I wanted to go for some songs you may not be so familiar with. What do you think of my choices?
