麥莉·賽勒斯與布列塔尼·霍華德在SNL50向辛妮·歐康納致敬
麥莉·賽勒斯（Miley Cyrus）和布列塔尼·霍華德（Brittany Howard）在2025年2月16日的「SNL50：週年特別節目」中向已故的辛妮·歐康納（Sinéad O’Connor）致敬，深情演繹了《Nothing Compares 2 U》。這首由王子（Prince）創作的歌曲，曾被歐康納收錄在她1990年的專輯《I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got》中，並成為全球熱門歌曲，至今仍是她最具代表性的作品之一。在The Roots樂團的伴奏下，賽勒斯和霍華德以充滿靈魂且粗獷的風格重新詮釋了這首歌，向歐康納的傳奇致敬。
歐康納於2023年去世，享年56歲，她與《週六夜現場》（Saturday Night Live）有著一段引人注目的歷史。在1992年作為音樂嘉賓登場時，她無伴奏演唱了鮑勃·馬利（Bob Marley）的《War》，並在直播電視上撕毀了教宗若望保祿二世的照片，宣稱「對抗真正的敵人」。這一舉動是對天主教會涉嫌掩蓋性虐待行為的抗議，引發了巨大的反彈，並對她的職業生涯產生了影響。儘管如此，歐康納後來反思表示，她並不後悔自己的行為，並在2021年的回憶錄中表示，撕毀照片「讓我重回正軌」。
賽勒斯和霍華德的表演並未直接提及歐康納的抗議行為，但這是一場對她藝術成就的深刻致敬。兩人此前曾在兩天前的《SNL50》回歸音樂會上合作，演唱了皇后樂團（Queen）的《Crazy Little Thing Called Love》。這場週年特別節目在NBC直播並於Peacock平台上串流播出，匯集了眾多校友、主持人和音樂嘉賓，慶祝《週六夜現場》50週年。
