I love this woman. You see a lot of kids selling their souls to record companies who can't play a note because, 'I wanna be famous'. Then you see someone like O'Connor and she's actually got the fucking shit and it's such a reality check. I want to live like she sings.
I wrote a song for her called "Cover that bugger up" about the pope and the his different coloured phones, the white one is for everyday clergy business, the red phone is a hotline to god and the blue phone [the busiest], is the indecent incident report line. The red phone never rings but then again the pope is unemployed as he works for nobody.

God Bless Sinead............I like to see a woman using her anger and letting it out, instead of sitting on it and being a good little girl.......We have a right to be angry!!! And we have the right to let it OUT!!!!!!!!! Aaarrrrrrrggggghhh!
I see a shocking ressemblence with Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta...they both have the same mole on the same chick(the left one)...strange but nice:)
@wildsparks I was just trying to decide which is my all time favourite when I read your comment - I love this song, but it has to be Troy at No. 1 for me
I love her. She is a brave and misunderstood soul. Bless her for her courage and conviction. I was in college radio when we received her first album "the Lion and the the Cobra". The minute I put the needle on that record (yes, this was BEFORE cd's), I was in awe of her talent and her fury. She was pissed WAAAY before Alanis.
@hellagood - I know who you mean, but that is not a woman who looks like Sinead O'Connor, she changed her name and finished her doctorate. That IS Sinead, Are you the last person in the world to know?
@JubilateLatte disturbed by her surroundings, focused and nondelusional, an inspiration. What were you doing two decades ago to voice your concerns. Did they inspire a genre? I pity your shortsightedness
"Nothing Compares 2 U", is a Prince remake, and also one of her least favorite songs. BUT, it helped to touch many with her music and I'm grateful her songs are still relevant.Remember to never be afraid to speak up in what you believe; there are always people listening however far away. Would will still be studying Martin Luther,Brigham Young, Buddha, etc.(who I do NOT share beliefs with)? They are still relevant today because they FOUGHT the norm. Live life for you. Peace out lovelies!!!!!
Best vocals I have ever heard on a female performer! I love Sinead O'Connor! Her music continues to move generation after generation to stand up for what is right! She is classic!
I of course knew her for Nothing Compares 2 U, then rather had the idea that she was a bit of troubled nutter what with the pope tearing I'd heard (but never seen) about years ago. But then, with recent events and a bit of googling, saw the Pope Tearing on here - ahead of your time Sinhead. And I found this while looking for stuff on William Blake (Jerusalem). To the point - you are amazing Sinhead, I had absolutely no idea you rocked like this. A new fan.
Totally agree with you, Jennkersten. Every time I hear anyting from this album it make me think of how important she is and HAS been for over 25 years
I wish today's musicians would not be afraid to stand up like she has for all the injustices in her world. The world is a sad place where we shy away from the realities of the world. Bless her for her courage to speak her own truth.
@jennkersten Most musicians nowadays are rich asswipes who think they can compose music and be unique with it. But it really all sounds the same. How can they standup for what they believe in if they all aren't aware of the worlds problems?
just wanted to say that i always thought that there's something about that last "Jeruuuuuuuu..." at about 3:44. It's the lighting change when it goes all white and she snarls. It's sexy in a way.
Awesome. I didn't know Sinead was such a badass. New fan! Oh, and to a poster below....Natalie Portman should be the one reminding you of Sinead, not the other way around!
She shows up all those wishy-washy pretend folk singers who claim to be 'feminists' by sexualising their images and videos, for being the drippy hypocritical rubbish they are.
This is what a strong independent woman looks like.
i have no idea how someone who hasnt experierenced nasty can say it doesnt exist, i havent personally but there are a lot of people in the world.....ok my ihc cousin came on to me once.....call me a victim, truth is the church is losing their power its a shame because the good ones are good
with this song...I am back in college, feeling alive and aware and active. Sinead will always be with me, inside me, part of me, about me. Brilliant artist.
Had forgotten how electric Sinéad was live... saw her in Portland in 1989 or 90 - stood my hair on end (an no, not just 'cos she's gorgeous - the girl has PIPES)
