Sinéad O'Connor's daughter honored her late mother.

During a tribute concert on Wednesday for late Irish icons O'Connor and Shane MacGowan at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Roisin Waters covered the musician/activist's classic "Nothing Compares 2 U."

In fan-captured footage of the performance, Waters, 28, can be seen walking barefoot in a colorful floral slip dress as she sings an impassioned rendition of O'Connor's 1990 hit. Near the end of the set, the crowd unanimously cheers for her and concertgoers appear to give her a standing ovation.
