  • I JUST heard this song for the very first time TODAY 1/30/2012 on Radio Paradise Internet Radio... I never heard it before. It sounds so "now"... that means it is a classic and has staying power in my book! great tune!

  • From NOW it is U.K and Ireland. Liberation is long Over Due but I think the Northern and Eire stemmed from Scotland. Invasion needs to Stop we are All Part of the British Empire.

  • Hang in there, Sinead. We're rooting for you.

  • Thank you Sinead for all of your beautiful music - you saved my life :)

  • beautiful. i want to kiss her.

  • Vevo and Tuber take these advertisements and stick them where the sun doesn't shine - uh yeah that's up your Arse!

  • Soon I can give you my fart!

  • @whitemagic70 >:D lol

  • She look a like Siba from NCIS!

  • Fun Fact-Mandinka ethnic group in Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, Liberia. A good chunk of African Americans come from there.

  • Great singer, but she needs hair!

  • Great song. Vital, fresh n well kickin

  • This song is perfect, My fave Sinead. How did you find it?

  • We need more people and artists like Sinead. Ones who are passionate about things and who take a stand and have messages and stand up for certain things and express them and aren't afraid to go against the grain.

  • was natalie portman going for a sinead o connor look ??

  • I also belong to the singer for my age, so too is the melodious music I like!

  • (O_o) Wow...as a teenager I loved her singing(still do), as did most of us, but I never really took the time to listen to all the words. It just sounded cool, but listening to it years later as an adult....I can see why the powers that be way back then put an end to her career literally overnight. She tested the waters & found exactly what she was fishing for & discovered that it still had an evil ugly head & bit! (o_O) So sad...she was one of the most talented ones of my generation!!!~: (

  • I can't but love her.

  • Okay, just so you know, Debbie Gibson wrote all her own songs. Love the ignorant-ass comments you get on YouTube regularly : /

  • "I do know mandinka"....who is he then hun?

  • VEVO PLEASE FUCK OFF WITH YOUR ADVERTS AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ARSE!!!

  • She is a Keltic warrior priestess from Avalon!!!!

  • fuck all what anyone says... i loove sinead :D...

  • @jacmtl2 wrong has a new CD coming out in 2012 and had one in 2010, 2011 so forth do your homework before posting and if your a god loving person u should not speak in a judgmental way for god says so!!!

  • sin a flame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I don't understand how anybody can use the past tense on her. She still is amazing, she just chooses not to put herself out there as much, anymore, because all she gets is a hard time and bad press. Would you blame her?

  • I do not believe that anyone in all history ever made singing off key sound so cool as the next eleven seconds 2:01. Brilliant!

  • Very nice song

  • I do Mandinka.

  • Love this song. I always thought she was beautiful even though she was bald. Kind of had a crush on her.

  • @MrSteveObama We didn't lose WW2! It is clear to me that you do not possess a DD-214 otherwise you wouldn't be one this net and pontificating failure and loss! I rest my case!

  • rubbish sound

  • @aimeed1968 You're rubbish mush

  • @drummermizike vyser si voko little drummer boy!

  • NO SHE WASNT AND SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! WE ROMANS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEFEATED AND WE'D SLAUGHTER BITCHES LIKE THIS FOR THE HELL OF IT! NAME HER NEXT SONG? SHE IS CURSED LIKE THE REST OF YOU! ONCE AGAIN , WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!

  • @fakepsychicbitches what in the fuckin hell are you talkin about?? i think you are mentally impaired,or in laymens terms retarded,,in latin inretardus edium

  • @fakepsychicbitches Romans lost 2nd world war

  • great, classic song!

  • superrrr!!!!!

    

  • If I had to choose between this "old" song or Rhianna's songs... HHHmmmmm...  Give me a second, better yet, a millimeter of a second. MANDINKA!!!!

  • @3193dgg I read that Rihanna was interested in Sinead to write a song for her indeed

  • @franvi77 Rhianna should be so lucky to have this kind of talent!!

  • Honestly, I like this song better than Nothing Compares 2 U. It's fairly reminiscent of Pat Benatar, especially Invincible.

  • great video, great song, great Sinéad! So young and talented!!!

  • Very R.E.M. sound, i like it!

  • intro's a bit weak,bridges are great,overall a very good song.voice is a1,really lifts an o.k. tune to new heights.she came and she went a bit too quickly..a fine talent.

  • oh God...she is so beautiful and talented, so real, so unique...i love her voice, her lyrics, herself...she's just great!!

  • AWESOME! This takes me back to the good ol' days when music was music and original!! None of this Bieber crap. Will his songs be remembered in decades to come like Sinead's are? I think not!

  • @CandleD I can't even name 1 of his songs now.

  • @CandleD Who's bIEBER? The more you say about hIM the more popular hE becomes...

  • @CandleD I agree but back then there was tons of forgettable shite, kylie, jason etc.

  • @CandleD I hate to say it, but the only song of her's that anyone remembers was written by Prince

  • @CandleD I don't think I agree with that nostalgic gaze... in 1987 you had Rick Astley! Tiffany! Debbie Gibson - all manufactured crap. Sinead is amazing, and a game changer - and there are similar musicians today that are making amazing music.

  • @CandleD Spoken like an older person of every generation since cavemen first beat rocks together in rhythm.

  • @CandleD I second that one for you. It is a good song with on original artist, somewhat weird, but who isn't? Good stuff, and yes, Bieber dude sucks!

  • @CandleD

    "None of this Bieber crap"?!

    Sure, but this was the era of NKOTB and Milli Vanilli, so how's abotu taking the rose-tinted glasses off?

  • @demo23nz

    Rose tinted glasses were a very 90s fashion accessory...

  • @demo23nz I see your point, yet it's distressing to accept that even NKOTB, Milli Vanilli, New Edition and many many other one-hit wonders and gimmicky artists had extremely high production standards (some for the era, some for today).

  • @Cookierockstar8 are you unaware of the cases that have occurred in Ireland regarding the Catholic Church's coverup of abuses done there? It's been described as "endemic rape and abuse." It's also occurred in Belgium, Canada, the Philippines, the UK, Germany and Australia and New Zealand. It's an international problem, as has been going on for decades, probably centuries. Plus some of these priests were transferred to Rome, as punishment so Italians aren't immune.

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds a bit like the Eurythmics.. must be Dave Stuart on the mixing desk

  • Cookierockstar8 you're a fool if you're unaware of the child abuse that the Catholic church has been dealing with over the years (dare I say centuries?) ... in the past they moved priests from parish to parish instead of calling the cops on them and having the US legal system deal with them. They preferred to deal with things "internally." I know someone who's father was the lead attorney in a case wagged against the Catholic church by those molested in the state of Alaska, they lost.

  • @bloomcountyUSA not a fool i know it happenes i want them in jail but its not common so if guys r so obsessedly passioned bout it then start a march might i correct american preists its really rare 2 hear something outside america no offense cuz i do love this country but its not perfect! nothing is not even the holy chruch there r more then just cathlolic preists also christian n lutheren, n wateva other religion so its not just this religion case closed bored makin u guys mad hahaha

  • I farted

    

  • @natubia82 Me too!!

  • She is so beautiful, great role model !

  • Awesome! What memories.

  • We don't 'Like' her because of her stance against the Catholic Church Nor that she is against the monarchy. Or even that feminist 'ism'

    We love her because she speaks her mind.

  • whos this bald slaphead

  • @jz1308 it's your dad's pimp

  • @MckyMseNTarotCrds Y u mad brah

  • she was very brave,,,she confront the catholic church,,,she was right

  • @gustavofranco absolutely gustavo. time showed that she was right

  • @luvs2shop96 probably nothing, she just looks amazing bald

  • Not one of her better songs, but it's ok. It's no Nothing Compares To You!

  • @amary7940 Well, to each their own. I actually think Nothing Compares is one of her lesser ones. Too played out. This kicks ass though.

  • her best

  • ah brings me back to the grove, only some of you will get that lol

  • Shes such a beautiful person. I love her music, I love her look :)

    She rocks the bald head so well! so gorgeous!

  • lion and the cobra is bar none one of the best albums of all time. she is an angel....i think whe was like 20 when she recorded it.......

  • Sinaed. An artist and a mother...but no mother superior... a mother

    Brought up amongst so many other children and bringing soul into the life of so many others. Mandinka resonates the original folk lore brought to our shores from North West Africa 4 millenium ago.... shine on.

  • One of the few women in world who can look beautiful and graceful with a shaved head.

  • Who is Mandinka?

  • This song moved me in high school,,i mean i had never heard anything like it before , so powerful, still gives me chills!

  • Wow, y'all STILL talking about that Pope stunt. rofl 

  • Who cares about the stupid Pope? We're supposed to have freedom o0f speech here in the U.S. Only sad losers care that she ripped up his picture.

  • I love her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a time warp! I remember being in junior high! Why can't we have music like this anymore instead of crap like Shitney Smears, Lady Kaka and Justine Beavers?

  • She rocks, this is to have personality.

  • Id like to send this to my cousin, can anykone respond?

  • i love her!!!!

  • if winnona ryder some day cut her hair like this, she could be the twin sister of sidney.

  • I love Sinead's boldness!! She has such a unique, amazing voice. And....she's beautiful outside and inside. A thumbs up and faved!! Peace2U, Alex

  • I didn't care for her tearing the Popes picture up but I respect her for her convictions and talent. God I miss the early 90's before the music started to suck.

  • After more than twenty years and just a flood of more scandals of the same sort, one has to say that she was right! your music is genuine and great Sinead!

  • who cares about her hair has has the most amazing voice and the stories she tells when she sings them she a bad ass n one of my top five fave singers ever

  • She is a true Irish heroine. She did the right thing.

  • Is that the guy from REM? Hurrr hurrr.

  • @Jackoroth no... its not even a guy....SHE is Sinead O'Connor.....a very good person and singer!

  • she knew the truth all the time.

    like she said back in the eighties MC Hammer (lol where is he now?) advertising a cola drink that rots your guts , then Praising the Lord ! in another

  • Sinead is the most beautiful of all the bald girls ever to have appeared on TV. Although Demi and Natalie are beautiful, Sinead takes the trophy in my opinion.

  • @romallivgf V FOR VENDETTA is still a badass film, though!

  • she tores a photo of the pope and her mainstream carreer goes down the shithole, a couple of years later the satanist tranny known as marilyn manson has his videos everywere in mtv and fills stadiums wtih mallcore kids, what an hypocritcal society the american...

  • @franvi77 Just a coincidence. She had mental problems she was dealing with and probably still does. I think that's what affected her career more than anything. You can't keep having hits forever. From the late 80s until early 90s she had a string of them. That's how it goes in pop music. They don't all go on forever.

  • @franvi77 its not just the pope, all religion is corrupt

  • @franvi77 She lead the way...

  • fuck the pope

  • @levertrevel fuck u!!! u don't even know him he is saint and u don't even wat he did for the world so shut da fuck up cuz he saved some1 i kno n wat i can at least do is protect him from stupid athist like u!!! hope u take ur words back!!!;)

  • yes indeed lads very correct what yee are all sayin!

  • I love how she's better live, mark of a good musician... get the studio out of the way and record this stuff live.

  • Very good this video music.

    We are learns of mandinka.

    Axé of Umbanda to all, peace and light.

  • e a estilera déla! gostei

  • her/britney=only bald chicks id tap!!

  • @jocam32 britney looked like a fuckin alien with a bald head. Demi moore was hotter with a bald head.

  • I miss good music.

  • would yas ride her?......... i would !

  • fuck me the last thing I wanna see is a fucking mike posner add for 30 sec just to watch a good music video. Fuck you vevo you're ruining the internet.

  • The "Great Pope Incident" is NOT her only message! Get over it. If you are unable, then YOU are the people she was trying to reach!

    Sinead is an artist who, luckily for us, came to fruition when people of ART were still accepted to "make it" by those of us alive to know what art IS.

  • gorgeousssneessss..she's insanely pretty!!! GOD..you created the perfect face--Sinead's so lucky

  • Божественно!!!!!!!!!

  • What a tune. I love this. Stop squabbling over nonsense and LISTEN!

  • @DakotaY12 She's a priest now. I think she has figured it all out. Cut her a break. Judge not. . .

  • She's so beautiful!!!!!

  • @MythicDude He*

  • @jz1308 lol lol lol lol lol omg not only HILARIOUS but ORIGINAL too... u should do stand up

  • She was one brave woman to speak out against the catholic church at the height of her career, and I will always respect her for that. In the end she was vindicated. Just look at the state of the catholic church now. Everyone knows about the decades of pedophilia that they conspired to cover up. Shame on them.

  • @serekithegreat .jesus is the truth. don't forget that..

  • @benalchemist74 fuck jesus... justin bieber is the truth...

  • @serekithegreat thats the point i have been making alot and people are going against my view, you will see the comments down the line, take a look and feel free to show your great opinion!!

  • I still hate this chic. But she sing s pretty good. LMAO!!

  • There are much worse things than ripping up the picture of the pope, specifically having to go before God (whatever that means) and answer God's question: "Why do avatars of the Logos/the Word care less for the children than this beautiful prophet I sent to Earth to "whip you with many stripes"? My only regret is that she felt compelled/forced to apologize for it later. Anyway, this is a great song, one that has been blowing me away for 25 years now. Sinead as an author? James Joyce.

  • Why is her hair so short?

  • I went to the doctor he told me it's not my fault that exaggerated sarcasm illudes stupid people.

  • @frickaloo i hear smart people spell "illudes" as "eludes". guess that fact "illuded" you.

  • @therealzomba Its funny you bring that to everyone's attention, as to put him to shame in front of everyone. But remember, you are still human, and at least once in your life ... you have f*cked up just like he or she did. I think I can safely assume that you are a normal human being that sh*ts and p*sses, so you are on the same plateau as the rest of us. Good day.

  • saw her supporting INXS in 1986 and she was ace!

  • damn I never knew that! I loved her anyways as a 16 year old back than. Just thought she was protesting against faith or the power of the church...I became a heavymetal fan when I was 13 so I thought it was cool what she did. Never knowing what she has been through. Again...without know why she did it....i was in love with her music the moment I heard her first song. Fortunately in the Netherlands we don't bann bands for their message :) Indeed be proud to be Irish you have a great history !

  • I think Sinead is a brilliant artist and I admire her bravery tremendously.

  • dish netowrk won't let m em wath you withou out an ad

    was gibspt

  • how much do i admire this woman?when told by her record company they were going to market her looks instead of her ability,she shaved her head! a beautifull,supremley talented woman

  • Very pretty

  • Damn,...

    She sounds just as smurfy now as she ever has sounded :)))

  • so many people hate her because she ripped up a picture of the pope, they dont know why she did it, its the fact she was sexually abused as a child and was making a point to the catholic church about how she felt about the priests abusing those children, she did it with good intentions to those families! her music is fantastic and makes me proud to be irish!! rock on miss o connor!!!!

  • @tattooedangel88 I don't know what's in the Irish water, but it infuses some of the world's greatest art: Poets, novelists, folk singers, then Ms. Sinead O'Connor! May a Kentucky (USA) boy claim some of that Irish blood? 

  • @tattooedangel88 She makes me very proud to be irish. Even back then I understood why she did it. I love her always.

  • @tattooedangel88 Old and washed up!  Thank God! No one's listening to your political commentary anymore.

  • @superdoobo thats why i got 96 likes for my so called political comment! thanks the reading it!

  • @tattooedangel88 We Catholic Survivors know

  • @tattooedangel88 nice one you summed it up.thanksx

  • @regipunk1 no problem!! :)

  • @tattooedangel88 Everyone takes offense so easily, and yet offends in a blink

  • @tattooedangel88 Anyways I support her totally! I definitely hate the Roman Catholic Church, and that includes the pope, the priests and all of those people!

    FACT: the Vatican has enough money to eliminate the poverty from the world TWICE.

    Enough Said. Sinéad FTW!

  • @briands1993 Well said. Screw those hypocrites. If I may steal a line from Woody Allen, if Jesus came back and saw the things done in his name, he would never stop vomiting.

  • @tattooedangel88 well she could hav done it of a priest not the pope!! he is considered a saint n to think he does that was wat ticked ppl off alot becuz he autally saved ppl lives!!! i was spectic until i met him so i don't kno where she's coming from probably alot of pain but just don't blame it on the pope or the catholic church becuz da priests who do that is rare just i think she could of just confronted instead of loseing her popularity i lov her music but she didn't hav 2 do that!!

  • @cookierockstar8 Dude, she was raped by a Catholic Priest. The Pope is his representative, AND the supposed representative of God on Earth. If he's not responsible, who is?

  • @cookierockstar8 priests fiddling with kids is alot more common then people think the fact its all only been heard of the past few years, the catholic church is a mess, the new pope can hide cases of sexual abuse then the old pope could have, these are the kind of people that we are lookin up to, open your eyes! her reasons for rippin up the photo of the pope was not targeting just the pope but the whole catholic church! my mother is a holy person and she is losing faith in the catholic church!!

  • @tattooedangel88 umm no they couldnt hide it cuz it is illegal! she's holy?she wouldnt lose her faith i bet she isn't even holy!! n my eyes r open i kno da real world i kno da goverment is shit, ppl who believe da world is ending are retarded n unborn kids are killed each hour i kno that there r preists who do abuse i kno happens but they put in jail life n u better kno all ur fcats before u say cathlic church is messesd up now open UR eyes and see that da world is a million times worse

  • @cookierockstar8 yes she is but the people who are telling her to have faith are going off doing such horrible things could make anyone turn against it! the government is shit the world ending is a load of shit, abortion is a disgusting thing and religion is a horrible thing made up to keep people in order and its true, ever see zeitgeist? it will really open your eyes you gulable fool!! the fuckin catholic church is messed up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • @cookierockstar8 the vatican has enough money to get rid of third world hunger an poverty an there is fuck all being done about it! and they hid all the abuse for years, why have cases that happened back in the 70's and 80's been mentions the last few years? because people keep their mouth shut about it. get my facts right?? i didnt mention anything about abortion the ending of the world OR the government, you have just mentioned them to make your comment look better! enough said!

  • @tattooedangel88 wow u must hav thought ur comment through alot! hav alot time on ur hands don't ya??? maybe u should research the real facts!! since u care so much bout sinead 0' connor! i'm just wasting my time trying 2 talk some sense into a ........ nvr mind ur not worth saying it

  • @cookierockstar8 Haha dont make me laugh! alot of people seem to agree with me so maybe you should go check your facts. . . like i said watch zeitgeist you gullible child!

  • God I love her. :)

  • one of the most energetic songs ever. and Sinead is just perfect... I love it!

  • Ahhh, the late 80's. When women could still write good music. = (

  • what a beautiful woman

    (!)

  • Interview with Sinead up online at The Guardian dated Sept 11 2010. For those of you that still slag her go read it and open your ignorant minds to the truth. Those of you that threatened her when she tore up the photo of the Pope are not fit to call yourselves Christians. You are scum.

  • @nobodyimporification I think time has demonstrated how right she was about that.

  • ..for me this is her bestest song...

  • Mandinka = Mandingo

    You do the math

  • i saw an interview the other day and her partner was a man. shes been married 3 times, to men
