The first time I heard the song -- and saw the video -- to "Nothing Compares 2 U" and the screen is nothing but her face and at one point there are tears, and she blares that unreal voice, I think I stopped breathing.
She will be missed.

Nothing Compares 2 U reliably induces frisson/goosebumps in me. Rare that a cover can match a Prince original: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Compares_2_U
Chris Cornell's cover is way up there too.
Just looked this up, thank you.
Double sad, I didn't know Cornell was also dead.
honest question: is the "frisson/goosebumps" thing not called ASMR now?

No, ASMR is a completely separate phenomenon, although the term has since been adapted to refer to a general aural aesthetic, rather than the physiological phenomenon it induces in some people.

At the risk of being obvious, see also Dreyer's 1928 La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (https://vimeo.com/169369684).
She had the same intent look in this recording of Molly Malone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouqhCtIh2g
