Couple o' things regarding her:

- Legend has it she originally had very nice hair, and when she got wind that she was going to be marketed based primarily on her good looks, she shaved her head in protest. I think there are new terms in artist contracts that prevent people from pulling that sort of thing now.
- Her first big hit was a cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" in 1990. If you ever wondered who sang that song, it was her.
- M.C. Hammer (now THERE'S someone no one gives a shit about) at one point was so mad at her that he very publicly mailed her a one-way plane ticket back to Ireland, full cost paid. (Does anyone remember the details of this?) Delightfully, her career long outlasted his.

retire?

Is she retiring from producing or retiring from performing ? I hate when musical artists say they're "retiring" like what are they "retiring" from-- they need to use another word to describe a musical artist who stops performing-- like quiting. She's quiting the musical business. Cuz its not like she had a 9-5 she worked for all these years n now shes gonna collect her pention or sum such shit

it's always sad when someone that is established retires, although I don't think the tracks featuring her vocals are that good, too much focus on the vocals in those songs in my opinion.

what what!? sinead rules!


conjure one feat. sinead o connor - tears from the moon (dj tiësto mix)
ghostland feat. sinead o connor - guide me god (paul van dyk remix)
sinead o connor - troy (the phoenix from the flame) (push club remix)



how much do these tracks rule? very much i can tell you!


i just watched a doucument about her a few months ago! i don't think she's lesbian, she's been married and has a kid if i remember correctly. she has been sexually abused as a child, therefore she's so angry, and she has all the right to be mad!

she is a priest too and a devout christian. she tore the picture of the pope because she was angry at him, because he didn't judge/disapprove some priests that had sexually abused kids, and this pissed her off (even more than it would piss off just anyone), because she has experienced the same thing herself!

that's pretty much all i can remember from the document!


i'd say she's a very interesting person and her voice is great and different than so many others!

why the fuck everybody were booing her after this statement? i dont find it a big deal. I saw the poor girl vry at one concert cause everybody were yelling and calling her names.



When you make a political statement, you set yourself up for people to criticize you. What many artists don't understand is that they have the right to be yelled at and called names at concerts in retaliation to statements that they make and actions that they have. The picture that was torn up was her protest and free speech, and the resulting yelling and calling of names was a response to that. If you'd like any further proof to this, see the Dixie Chicks, they have pulled a silimar thing with the George Bush statements.

I would say that Sinead retiring is basically no news. She likes to change her mind a lot anyways, so she'll be back. I've never thought her voice was that great, I'd rather hear a Bjork or PJ Harvey over her any day of the week.

As far as being a lesbian, who knows and who cares. That plays nothing into this discussion, unless you are trying to analyze whether or not her lyrics have lesbian undertones or messages to them. Maybe she's bi anyways, which no one really brings up because everyone is so caught up on either being hetro or gay.

I think you'll find it isnt.

And what does it matter if she is a lesbian?

this comes what, 4 months after i say i like her vocals?

conjure one feat. sinead o connor - tears from the moon (dj tiësto mix)
ghostland feat. sinead o connor - guide me god (paul van dyk remix)
sinead o connor - troy (the phoenix from the flame) (push club remix)

^ exactly why i like her (you even got the right mixes )

her solo stuff isn't my style and i don't want to hear her politics or about her sexuality

not a big deal though, justine suissa hasn't retired, jan johnston, sarah mclachlan etc.
