I didn't see it mentioned in the comments and many of you may know, but her story of how she came to be on this video is pretty amazing. She had just recorded an album on a tiny boutique record label. Peter leaves a voice mail asking her to join him as a singer, she flies to to Germany for 1 rehearsal, 1 soundcheck, and then thrown out before 16,000 fans. 3 or 4 days after, made this video. If you're good…you're good.

For some backstory on Paula Cole´s performance, taken from the wikipedia page: "he brought Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor onto the tour as guest vocalist, covering Askew's keyboard parts with Jean-Claude Naimro of Kassav'.[2] O'Connor left suddenly in October, and American singer-songwriter Paula Cole was quickly recruited to fill her position, earning high praise for her performance.[5] The core of Gabriel's touring band was composed of long-time collaborators bassist Tony Levin, guitarist David Rhodes, drummer Manu Katché and violinist L. Shankar. This was the first time that Gabriel used in-ear monitors on tour.[6] A few days after Cole joined the tour, the show was filmed and recorded in Modena, Italy, to produce the concert video Secret World Live." So considering the short amount of time Miss Cole had to prepare for this performance, you have to bow in awe.

Sinéad O' Connor was the planned female or co-vocalist for this tour. However, she left whitout any apparent reason very few weeks before it started. Then Paula Cole, almost unknown at the time, appeared like an angel to replace her. Few reharsals at the speed of light and there she was to give her best. She was and stood superb in all senses, and thanks to this opportunity she had the chance to show that she was not only a great vocalist but also a magnificient musician.

@@pasodeminick My personal favourite was with Kate Bush for this song. I just think Kate has a way of creating more depths. But your commentary on Sinead follows the usual path, so in that regard you are in good, safe company. For me, I think that she would have "achieved a solo career" regardless of Prince, because she had a soul like Kate's voice that could hold you, and you can feel the power portrayed in the voice. Sinead just had a lot more demons to control, which meant that she was not the reliable performing monkey that some people wanted her to be. And that has brought her a lot of contemptuous ridicule and mockery.

Paula Cole was brought in at the last moment when Sinead O'Conner became unable to continue the tour. Here you can see she is tense and concentrating very seriously on her parts. When Peter gives her the nod of "well-done", her face brightens immeasurably for the rest of the song. She definately put her own stamp/interpretation on the song. It's not useful to compare to Kate Bush or Sinead. All have their merits. Very cool!
