What do you think of sinead o'connor?

'Nothing Compares' was a world-class tear-jerker.

I decided I liked Sinead before I even heard her when I discovered the reason why she shaved her head (it wasa in protest when she was told by a record company to cultivate a more feminine image just to sell records). I thought this was 'badass' and gave her respect for standing up for her principles.

She’s a weird character

She claims prince punched her in the head after inviting her to his house to talk about her cover of nothing compares.

Not sure I believe her, she does seem to talk a lot of poo poo.

Great singer. She's gone through a lot of mental problems though, going muslim is just one of the latest unhealthy ways she's tried to find some contentment in her life. Still though, I'll always admire her for standing up to the catholic church back when they were still revered. It wasn't the popular thing to do back then, it was much harder to do that back then than it is now.

My friends and I used to get drunk and sing Nothing Compares at the top of our lungs at one another. That was fun.

If your main take-away after watching that video is that the singer is bald, then not only do your eyes need to be tested, you should also try to track down where you mislaid your heart and soul.

First - and most trivially - she's not 'bald' in that video; she has close-cropped hair. Perhaps that's contrary to how you believe God wants women to look or something, but that says a whole lot more about you than it does about O'Connor.

As for the song, it's possible you just don't have enough life-experience to find it affecting. Listen again just after someone you loved has died or after you've been dumped and feel like you've been gut-punched and your heart has been ripped out, and you might find the experience very different.

Over the years, O'Connor has leaped all over the place in terms of her politics and religious beliefs. She has also had to deal with various mental and physical health issues, and there may well be a connection.

O'Connor was infamous in the States at one point for appearing on SNL, denouncing paedophiles in the Catholic Church and tearing up a picture of the then-Pope. Many good Catholics were outraged by this. In modern terms, she was 'cancelled' for daring to raise the subject on national TV, and her career nose-dived. Almost a decade later, the same pope finally admitted the Church had been ignoring and covering up a serious problem for many, many years. Several more years had to pass before the Church admitted that thousands of kids had been abused by priests who suffered no consequences.

I was never a fan and I haven't paid a huge amount of attention to her over the years, but while I've found some of her opinions questionable, I'm sure that she was always sincere at the time, and not just seeking attention for attention's sake. One thing she was famous for was a long-running dissing contest with Madonna, and I certainly support anyone who runs down that phoney publicity-seeker.

The woman lost the plot. I wouldn't be surprised if she became another Colleen LaRose aka "Jihad Jane".

After looking up who she is, she is song artist.

Isn't she a muslim nowadays

I used to be into her music 20 years ago. I rarely give her a thought these days but when she appears on music channels the nostalgia hits.

Unfortunately she's totally Amy Winehoused her life and the drugs and dysfunctional family issues she's had have made her go off the rails, but she was very talented.

the bald irish pope ripper chick?

her music werent my thing at the time

i guess she had a hard time at the handsa the institution growin up
