If I were to guess, she stood there taking the abuse from the crowd to build the rage within before unleashing. Sinead is bad ass and there's nothing wrong with raising a little hell.
I love this mucisians!!!! She proclamed the problems of the katholick church. About peadophilia with (young) children. So in Holland the catholic church must confess. I hope in England, and so in Ireland and in America too, must confess there faults. Thumps up if you agree!!! Greetings from a reformed person, who do not believe in peadophilia in primary scools and also in churches. Thith is not Gods will...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SINEAD FOR HER COURAGE AGAINST SOOO MUCH IGNORANCE!!! She is a true hero for being able to stand her ground! Truth always prevails and time has proven her to be RIGHT!
The difference is that on stage there was a free brave woman while on the other side there was that not- thinking cattle-mob imbued with all the falsities, prejudices and shit coming out from the church.
Her career never really recovered from the shameful action of having ripped up a picture of the Pope on live TV. Her anger was misplaced, and she drew anger towards herself. She knew what she was doing. She paid the price.
"You know it's not even safe no more in the palace of the Pope", Bob Dylan sang in 1983. In 1997 Bob Dylan performed for Pope John Paul II. Sinnead O'Connor was booed at the Dylan tribute concert because she had recently torn a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. It's debatable that Dylan approved of her action. Too bad Sinnead had such thin skin. Dylan was often booed and he survived.
Endless respect for this woman, who may be the bravest artist of her generation (and since?). All the cries of "controversial" can't hide the fact she lives her personal integrity instead of making it a sound bite, and has never backed down, even when it cost her career advancement. This is what real heroes look like.
She seemed like rlly pissed at the audience. It looks like her emotions took over her singing. This was more like a rant. I think she just wanted to get it over with...
well thats the supression by the ruling class for ya, shuoldn't exist in the first place, hieracys are alright, i'm happy with working, middle and upper as they serve a purpose, but i'm only happy if they work together i.e. no pomposity, no i'm better than you, and no orders. we're all equal, we just have things to give us ambition, or amazment and hope, i see a man driving past in a bently, i think wow some day, the man in the bently sees me in a ford, he thinks back to his old ford fiesta
As someone who was there, I recall that the cheers for her were at least as numerous as the jeers. It was too bad she chose to listen more to those who disapproved than to those of us who applauded.
@4001jk How dare you say that about this gifted artist you should be banned from posting on youtube and to never be able to have an account on here as well
So ummmm, let me get this straight. people actually booed someone who speaks of social unrest at a concert honoring someone who spent his whole life singing about....well...social unrest.
How much more more stupid can people on this planet possibly get.
And so it makes me really sad, seeing so many people expressing so much hate for this woman. Especially "christians", who should (according the their believes) LOVE their "enemys" and not hurt them.
As a christian u should confront her with an open and loving heart and not causing so much additional pain for a single soul.
She clearly underestimated the mass/media stupidity. Sadly.
And I believe she is a person with strong believes and a good heart.
@PopLuverGal She did that because he was part of the cover up of the sexual abuse of children by the priests of the catholic church. She did that before it had become so well known. If she did that just a few years ago instead of 15 years ago, she would've gotten a lot more support I'm sure.
@PopLuverGal I'd do the same for someone who sits on his high horse behind golden walls, cruises down the street in a bubble, and wheres a garb that would make Jesus cringe. That is one self righteous human being if I ever saw one. this world doesn't need a pope, it needs a reality check.
It took great courage. To make the extreme statement in the way that she did by ripping apart the image of the pope. As all the sex abuse scandal with the catholic church was front and center. She was delivering a wake up call. The general public however missed the fucking point. Kudos.. to you Sinead, and it was wonderful what Kris Kristofferson did and said.
The reaction of the American media and a lot of the American public in general to her SNL appearance was incredibly pitiful. Americans seem to be all for freedom of speech until they hear something they don't agree with.
@peterdolson - great observation! you must be a leading intellectual on the state of American affairs, I am sure you have given this tremendous thought and have written about it extensively, right?
I mean you would'nt be just another American who tries to appease europeans by apologizing for America's behavior would you? you know, the soft headed type who thinks euros respect you for slamming your country - perhaps someday, when you get smarter, you will understand you they don't
@hungetkunstler - brilliant observation! I don't agree with the crowd's behavior & I feel confident this would not happen in the US today
having said that, perhaps you could explain to me how freedom loving brits would react to me if I were a uk citizen of pakistani descent, and I suggested to a bunch of soccer (proper name) hooligans that the uk should relax immigration requirments? would I only be booed? or would I have my head kicked in?
"@ArtMonkforHallofFame: she voiced her protest on SNL. The fans voiced theirs here. She made her bed and she had to sleep in it." very well put, i'm with you on that
How ironic that Bob Dylan "fans" booed Sinead O'connor. A woman using her voice and songwriting to bring about global change---- and if they had heard how she said Dylan kept her alive.... She has a lion's heart. She blazed the path for women musicians and beyond... a humanitarian....
@JSEBCKGC She did. I for one was really misinformed about what she was protesting, and it wasn't easy to find the truth. People kept writing it off as a Catholic vs Protestant thing, which never made sense since she's Catholic. I didn't even know she'd been imprisoned in a Magdalene laundry until a couple years ago.

Creo que si no era por ella, lo valiente que fue, nadie se atrevió a dar la cara de esa manera, no se hubiera hecho nada referente a su protesta, hoy recién empece a leer algo de ella y la verdad, espectacular.
YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS! SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE OUTHERE TO Speak about the priest raping children around the world....SHE WAS the first one to go public about it! she had the balls!
wow, this baying mob sounds like a "Tea Party" convention. And Sinead pwned 'em. And Sinead was right years before these sanctimonious hypocritical morons finally found out about the pedophile priest scandal.
The US-A military superpower, an economy richer than most, but a backward boorish crowd here that treated a singer who tried to raise the issue of abuse by the religious in Ireland by cutting off the snake's head, with narrow minded derision.She has been proven right and should be praised for her stance!
she reminds me of Joan of Arc here...so strong, beautiful yet fragile. She's facing down lions with grace and bravery unknown in Hollywood or music industry now
Very much agree with user: "thepervertigo's" comment below: people and countries with hypocrisies and double standards should recognize their own. (and I'm no one to speak.)
Man that lady's got BALLS. Years later, look at all the child abuse stories with the catholic church-- and that's only what you DO know-- imagine what you DON'T know!!
@LeLee76 you do know in '92 she ripped up picture of the pope during war, when she said "evil" she held it up ripped it and said "fight the real enemy"
Kudos to Kristofferson for embracing O'Connor after her extraordinary performance and defiance of the mob mentality that awaited her. What a great and kind man.
O'Connor's act was very foretelling of the exposure of the child abuse scandals that would associate the Catholic Church with thousands of crimes against children. O'Connor demonstrated tremendous courage in her actions. There is no doubt she has been proven right.
Poor Sinead.... those who jeered had no respect. Also it's ironic that Sinead sang War by Bob Marley instead of a song by Bob Dylan...still I feel bad for Sinead..
Hello, my name is William and I was there at the Bob Dylan tribute concert that night. This video doesn't show well enough how loud, nasty and lusty the booing was when Sinead took the stage. I am surprised she was able to perform any songs much less the one she did do. I'm with festyosemtex on this one. Total agreement. I estimate that I was the only one not booing that night. I knew where she was coming from. And the masses DO owe her a big apology. She has a great voice.
Sinead ripped up a photo of the Pope on SNL as a protest against paedophilia in the Catholic Church and the complicity of the church hierarchy. It was viewed as an act of career suicide. Steamrollers crushed 100s of her CDs to huge cheers from protesters. She was laughed at, derided and parodied on both sides of the atlantic as an uptight feminist nutcase.
Now, knowing what we now know about the church,
isn’t Sinead O’Connor overdue a massive, grovelling apology from absolutely everybody?
YOU - IM TOO IGNORANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW OF LIFE SO ILL JUST HIDE IN MY LITTLE HOLE AND SHOUT OBSCENITIES AT IT TILL IT GOES AWAY!!
REST OF WORLD - FUCK YOU AND GROW UP YOU COMPLETE KNOB JOCKEY!!!
Great performance by a brave Artist. Beautiful spirits always are attacked by evil. Thanks for posting the Video. Bob Marley smiled when Sinead sang His Song.
I alsways knew she was right then..from that time she ripped the pope's photo--now its the time to really give respect to this Irish pride...I love you sinead!!!
@tonyblackops oh really How come you came in this institution? its only for people who appreciate REAL music..not like you a paranoid freak.. hahahaha
@prettykiray okay ? why do you think I'm a paranoid freak ? your ramblings just prove how much of a retard you are. the REAL music is the work of great bands like bon jovi not like this self righteous bitch. and I really pity you for being her dirty little minion.
i am a catholic...my uncle is a catholic priest...and I cant help but wonder if catholics realize how their minds have been raped, like the mob shows and the billions of dollars to hide their hypocrisy reveals. such sick and fake indignation is the true result of the idol whore-shipers [sic] that presently love their benedick!
@WrxSti04 it appears your father made you with his finger, as your comment has about as much meaning as your uninformed life. still, i hope you are getting on well under your bridge with the other trolls.
I have a lot of respect of Sinead O"Connor. My Enlisch are quite as well, because I am from Holland. Ms. O'Connor shewed a great kind of emotion, I like it very much. If you now she had not a beautiful life she was a child. In 1992 she destroy an picture of pope John the second because in the fifthy's (1950 until 1955) the priestst in the catholic church have sex with young (catholic) boys. RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN!!!!!

Yes..Time proved her right. All those who scoffed and abused her for her Stance against the rotten Catholic pedophiles and officials who protected them have all melted into their holes in the ground.
that was amazing, she is the one, what a way to shoot the bounch of ignorants, we need more ppl like her, me encantaria que fuera conocida en paises con diferentes idiomas, no solo por la religion pero tambien por los gobiernos, siempre habra alguien que se sienta superios a los demas, pero siempre habra un espiritu como el de ella que le de el bajon... long live SINEAD O'CONNOR . . . you got a place in heaven for opening the eyes of many, GOD ISN'T A RELIGION
To think that if she had done something like this today she would have have been supported by all the evidence that has been put forward in recent years just goes to show how right she was for condemning the Catholic church. Here is an artist standing alone against ignorance.
To see this courageous warrior, a real artist, putting her life on the line, booed at a Bob Dylan concert is so disgusting and a mirror held in front of America. It sickens me to see her abused in the so called land of the free. What a strong artist. All artists should put themselves on the line and take advantage of the spotlight and stage they occupy, just like this little Irish woman did. I for one am so proud of her.
God, I am so pissed off right now. There is war, I say, and there is War everywhere. There was war there,and Senead was the one to win, no matter how it seems in this video. Those people yelling to her are the losers! The guys that didn't(couldn't, didn't want to) accept that somebody so much superior to them could have another opinion! The blinded by their own fake-superiority! The leaded byt he accepted! Go on Senead, we still believe in you! Those blindfolded don't deserve to hear your voice!
That's what savage religious people do when they feel that their authority is destroyed by one single person! Fuck religion and especially fuck Christianity!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@albokk I'd would have no problem insulting '1.2 billion Catholics' if it meant I was exposing what those evil,disgusting, twisted members of that church were doing to those children. The Pope covered up the abuse that was going on. That was a much bigger insult to Catholics than just ripping up a piece of paper! Sinead did not deserve that reception for standing up for all those children abused within the church!!!
@XxMalcolm Pretty defensive? How long did she wait for them to stop booing? A pretty long time! You would be defensive if half of a arena full of people were taking a shit on your beliefs, would you not? And it don't matter if what she said was the crazies bunch of shit ever! That don't give anybody the right to hate her for her opinion. I know they really do have that right but it was wrong of the big babies that can't accept the fact that not everybody believes the way they do. Pathetic
They really had no choice to shut up and listen with her ferocious voice, big ups to her for dealing with that many people jeering her.

@LeLee76 you do know in '92 she ripped up picture of the pope during war, when she said "evil" she held it up ripped it and said "fight the real enemy"

Kudos to Kristofferson for embracing O'Connor after her extraordinary performance and defiance of the mob mentality that awaited her. What a great and kind man.

O'Connor's act was very foretelling of the exposure of the child abuse scandals that would associate the Catholic Church with thousands of crimes against children. O'Connor demonstrated tremendous courage in her actions. There is no doubt she has been proven right.

I really don't see what the big fucking deal was that everyone hated her
so she ripped up a picture of the pope but it was a symbolic gesture saying that something needed to be done about pedophilia and abuse
I applaud this lady for sticking to her beliefs and I agree with the song too
pretty sad that my country booed her and turned her into comedy material

Poor Sinead.... those who jeered had no respect. Also it's ironic that Sinead sang War by Bob Marley instead of a song by Bob Dylan...still I feel bad for Sinead..

Hello, my name is William and I was there at the Bob Dylan tribute concert that night. This video doesn't show well enough how loud, nasty and lusty the booing was when Sinead took the stage. I am surprised she was able to perform any songs much less the one she did do. I'm with festyosemtex on this one. Total agreement. I estimate that I was the only one not booing that night. I knew where she was coming from. And the masses DO owe her a big apology. She has a great voice.

Sinead ripped up a photo of the Pope on SNL as a protest against paedophilia in the Catholic Church and the complicity of the church hierarchy. It was viewed as an act of career suicide. Steamrollers crushed 100s of her CDs to huge cheers from protesters. She was laughed at, derided and parodied on both sides of the atlantic as an uptight feminist nutcase.
Now, knowing what we now know about the church,
isn’t Sinead O’Connor overdue a massive, grovelling apology from absolutely everybody?

I have a lot of respect of Sinead O"Connor. My Enlisch are quite as well, because I am from Holland. Ms. O'Connor shewed a great kind of emotion, I like it very much. If you now she had not a beautiful life she was a child. In 1992 she destroy an picture of pope John the second because in the fifthy's (1950 until 1955) the priestst in the catholic church have sex with young (catholic) boys. RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN!!!!!

To think that if she had done something like this today she would have have been supported by all the evidence that has been put forward in recent years just goes to show how right she was for condemning the Catholic church. Here is an artist standing alone against ignorance.

To see this courageous warrior, a real artist, putting her life on the line, booed at a Bob Dylan concert is so disgusting and a mirror held in front of America. It sickens me to see her abused in the so called land of the free. What a strong artist. All artists should put themselves on the line and take advantage of the spotlight and stage they occupy, just like this little Irish woman did. I for one am so proud of her.

God, I am so pissed off right now. There is war, I say, and there is War everywhere. There was war there,and Senead was the one to win, no matter how it seems in this video. Those people yelling to her are the losers! The guys that didn't(couldn't, didn't want to) accept that somebody so much superior to them could have another opinion! The blinded by their own fake-superiority! The leaded byt he accepted! Go on Senead, we still believe in you! Those blindfolded don't deserve to hear your voice!

@albokk I'd would have no problem insulting '1.2 billion Catholics' if it meant I was exposing what those evil,disgusting, twisted members of that church were doing to those children. The Pope covered up the abuse that was going on. That was a much bigger insult to Catholics than just ripping up a piece of paper! Sinead did not deserve that reception for standing up for all those children abused within the church!!!
