Who knew that Sinead O'Connor singing a song by Prince would be one of the more hauntingly beautiful and sad songs ever sung.

For a list of all the ones they missed, read all the comments.
Personally, The saddest song I ever did hear was 'I want you' by Elvis Costello.
You know what I find funny as well, there's more genuine emotion in these songs than this so-called 'Emo' genre. Bunch of posers. (Can you tell I don't like them?? ;) )
