Well for someone who has or had bi-polar disorder she sounds far more sane and humane than most glib tongued celebs these days. My respect for her just increased several notches.
It would be interesting to do a survey of Irish people. Most of us find her a complete embarrasment. The main reason is that she thinks she is better than everyone else. And she thinks she is sexy and funny - seriously deluded on both these counts.
@Apolo1428 I think because most people are too ignorant to handle the truth and honesty about life. They like to live in their little imaginary worlds of false beliefs, fake leaders and delusional promises. When someone passionate about the truth like Sinead O' Connor speaks up, they sit there in silent, arrogant protest. Because they are too immature and weak-minded to accept the truth when it is spoken.
I´m glad that she still speaks her mind with passion:) To me the Catholic ¨Church¨is just a place where pedifiles can get away with crime.Since the law doesn´t punish them because they are considered ¨Holy¨...and the Popes themselves also take part in their own little fun... this IS the truth and sometimes the truth hurts...and it´s everyones responsibility to speak out...
Perdonen mi ignorancia, Pero que onda Sinead , yo solo la recuerdo como una cantante de una voz privilegiada de los 90, pero parece que hoy en día da que hablar con un tema religioso, alguien podría ponerme al tanto, por favor, quisiera entender y saber en que anda hoy Sinead... gracias...
I lived in Ireland for 18 months, just came home two months ago, and I just want to say that to understand this, you need to think about the situation in Ireland. Most Irish people are not positively tuned towards Sinead, but see her as a crazy person that is defying God. It is a big deal in Ireland, a much bigger deal than what I am used to. Most people refuse to even talk of her. I think she's brave and courageous, but that's besides the point.
@notpeterhansen What a load of twaddle, with respect. Most people see her as a brave, talented, confused woman, who lashed out a largely inequitable society. Her voice was loud and almost alone in the 1990s, but now we all shout with one voice, and we see her as having been ahead of her time. Not sure what part of the country you were living in, but I don't recognise it from what you say.
@notpeterhansen - I don't know what part of Ireland you were living in, but its not like that here now. Most People here understand her more now than before. its not as much of a big deal as it used to be. Today I think its much more her choice of words than what she actually says.As I said before I think the recent exposure of the C.Church has vindicated her in many ways. We're not all "God Squadders" here. We know whats happened and we're facing up to it, which is more than the Church is.
@TheNoonwah Apparently shes going to be on this show this friday so I cant wait to hear from her again. Maybe she will talk about all the tweeting she has been doing haha
Her bi-polar condition expresses itself as mania, a need to excessively verbally describe and reiterate an idea. The interesting thing is she's 100% abso-Fucking-lutely right on the money. The Church is full to the brim, top to bottom, with molesters. Even the Cardinals and Bishops and maybe even that demented Pope are guilty of the same crimes they're supposed to be investigating. If the catholic people of the world had any ballz they'd hang all those foul freaks from the highest bell towers..
This woman's questioning spirit and courage to say exactly what she sees going on around her is something we should all have. So brilliant. Truly an original.
I respect Sinead as a person who retains her belief's despite the Catholic churches complacent attitude towards its priests heinous proclivities. Personally as an atheist I find the Pope's attitude symptomatic of the humbug and hypocrisy that is world religion.
One of the best voices in modern music, if not THE best. And she looks great here, too. It's kinda cute that she still gets shy when she's singing. I agree with the opinion that she's not controversial, she just tells it like it is. Bless you, Sinead.
I fail to see where her views are "controversial" at all. She simply tells it like it is.
I am a little uncomfortable with the association of her bipolar disorder and the following discussion of the church. People may think she is nuts and blow off her opinions. She is a hell of a lot more saner than most people. Bipolar disorder is physiological and not a character issue to be dismissed. She was right back in the 1990's and still is. Blessed be.
@badolan First I agree with you, but please, please, please, make points with the proper use of speech! The use of grammar and words like "saner" are killing voices that have something actual to say...Another 30 seconds and you can proof-read your own stuff, worlds different i mean c'mon!
sinead is a wonderfully spiritual woman and she has been so right all along, she has shown such bravery and resilience i have been a whistle blower myself and had my life totally trashed for it, her music and everything about her is incredible, god bless you sinead
I love her and always felt so bad for her when she spoke the truth about the pope but people hated her.............for telling the truth........if I had a picture of the new pope with his lipstick on, I would rip it to sheds.......
Thank you, Sinéad, for 'being a voice for the voiceless': all those poor children of God that have been and are being abused by His 'representatives'.
The church repeated this behavior in regards to ALL of the COLONIZED countries....Indigenous Peoples the world over suffered sexual abuse @ the hands of the catholic chruch also
She is full of the spirit of GOD its a shame she is always limited to what she can say , I wish he did not keep interrupting her and gave her the platform '' we all deserve ''
If Bishops went on the show they would be slated and attacked, not be given a chance to have a voice, as that is the nature of the show. How can she condemn someone else's belief in the Holy Spirit? What right has she got? She attacks the entire Church for the actions of some!! She is arrogant, fake and dull, talks as if she does no wrong. Things that have happened in relation to the Church are awful, but people like her aretoo quick to start the witch hunt (Excuse the irony if anyone gets it)
@ChrisMcHugh Controversial as some of her views may be, history has proved her right. The pope of the Catholics deserves to have his picture torn up. You're not correct in saying she attacks the "entire church"; if you pay attention, you'll find she's quite religious. You, on the other hand, sound like a fanatic.
@ChrisMcHugh well the bishops and the pope they do have a voice, and they do nothing good with it ... they just let everything happen/So as long as they let child abuse happens, Sinead can speak the truth as always! someone should ! And as a matter of fact she is the only singer/songwriter who is always honest without thinking that it might damage her career ... respect for that as well!
If she wouldn't have said everything she said she would have been the best selling singer/songwriter ever.
wow, this guy didn't really do any research about her. Or maybe he just doesn't get her...I feel sorry for her, everyone always asks the sammmmeeee freakin questions.
I don't believe in the holy spirit but I think she is wright, people should take there beliefs and walk away from the corrupted, morally weak organization that is the church.
Good on you Sinead. Can anyone tell me. Do priests have some form of diplomatic immunity? We all know Vatican City is a State. Are priests ambassadors for that State?
Well for someone who has or had bi-polar disorder she sounds far more sane and humane than most glib tongued celebs these days. My respect for her just increased several notches.
