Yooo this is morbid as hell but you know Shane macgowan? I was watching an interview of he and her and the guy behind the desk was jabbing hard at Shane’s drinking and Shane ended up saying, “ I reckon I’ll out live you.” With his Cookie Monster laugh. I can say I looked seriously at the two and wondered. As far as I know, both are still alive, but the one I never considered was her.

From what I understand she had a difficult childhood and suffered a lot of personal turmoil as an adult. Hopefully her passing has brought her peace.

Why has your posting style matured? I like it, but what happened?

The way they phrase it (was on tablet when I typed previous stuff,) it seems like it might be a mental illness related death.

Supposedly her mom was abusive. But she went to live with her dad who made a good living. Even in a stable environment she had mental issues as a teenager and got into trouble. Like a lot of artists, something was wrong with her, probably just as much to do with nature as nurture. She had a perpetual victim complex.

A lot of people said she was only famous because of the song Prince wrote for her, but her earlier stuff was pretty good and wrote all her other "hits" herself

Not the place or time or place for this. Have some decorum.

Sinéad has had her own personal struggles with mental health, she was reported missing and suicidal (https://www.tmz.com/2016/05/16/sinead-oconnor-missing-suicidal/) in Chicago back in 2016 ... but was later found safe. In an interview with Dr. Phil (https://www.tmz.com/people/dr-phil/), Sinéad admitted she'd attempted suicide 8 times in one year.

Damn. She seemed to be a ticking time bomb. I guess she found peace now. RIP

She should have been banned from ever singing that :lol

SNL audiences are very accustomed to protest and grandstanding but even they were like uhhhhhh....

Joe Pesci was on SNL the next week and addressed the incident in his monologue by taping the photo of the Pope back together and telling the audience without shame if this were his show, he would have literally beat the sh!t out of her. :lol

Being Irish and Catholic, I'm surprised she wasn't assassinated.

It ruined her career. But she wasn't wrong.

Another anti free speech, cancel culture loving right wing fascist reveals his true motivations. :eek:

It's alright. It's a free speech of disagreement. That song came out before Sinead had a heat with the Catholic organization. Also, it's just a song.

It certainly had a negative effect on her exposure but it didn't ruin her career. She did that all on her own. By the time she did that SNL performance all she was putting out was garbage.

If she hadn't sung the Prince written Nothing Compares 2 U, she probably wouldn't have been as famous but continued to make good "alternative" music for years out of Europe. She was very talented but let the fame, America and her SJW motivation become her priority. Plus she obviously had a genetic predisposition to mental illness looking at her family history.

Lighten up it was obviously in jest. Did you not see the emoji? Had to laugh at the irony/hypocrisy

She was basically black listed by record labels, producers and promoters.

[Long Duck Dong]

She was basically black listed by record labels, producers and promoters.

Yet she still got out her music and it was crap. Mostly a lot of covers of jazz and reggae. When she did that SNL performance it was to promote her new album which was a HUGE departure from her earlier works. It wasn't even the same genre and alienated all the loyal fans he had for years. Blacklist or not blacklist, her career as a musician was already doomed. Even in the 90s you could only suppress good music so much. Unfortunately she had nothing good to suppress at that point

[Manny98]

Not too familiar with her music tbh

But I have a lot of respect for the way she went against the evil in this world

RIP

The woman had an amazing voice, I think we can all agree on that one. RIP

As a Catholic I had mixed feelings, I loved Pope John Paul II but I also understood where she was coming from. It was really sick that the Church protected those pedophile priests and just moved them around so they can continue their perversions :facepalm

I'm not really taking sides one way the other, just pointing out the irony of her singing a Christmas song after attacking the church, and you know she really didn't care for the religion itself as she converted to Islam later on which adds another ironic twist since the founder of her new religion took a 6 year old wife and consummated the marriage when she was 9.

I like her earlier music, and find her very attractive(I have a thing for women with pale skin, dark hair and predatory eyes)but I took exception to anyone saying that her protest ruined her career. Her career was ruined, aside from her mental disease, because she got lazy and stopped dedicating effort to the craft which made her famous. Because covering the song of one American black singer brought her more money and fame than she ever imagined, she thought doing almost a whole album of covers from black singers of the Americas, would keep easy money rolling in and she could dedicate most of her time to social justice. Well she was wrong, nobody liked that crap and all the fans who loved her earlier work were left hanging.

I forgot to comment on the topic: I’ve never really listened to her but she makes LDD furious so she must have been pretty cool.

Many people would say she's a one hit wonder who only became famous because of a Prince cover(although his song was very underwhelming and not popular). I recognize she was very talented

If it means I'm "furious" because I also recognize she got lazy so be it. :confusedshrug:

Idk man everyone else has been paying their respects and you’ve been shitting on her career. Seems kinda like you’re mad.

He doesn't like her because she converted to Islam. It's pretty simple actually.

But she did have a tough life, so hope she's at peace now.

Lol, typical, these people are so embarrassingly sensitive.

[jstern]

I'm not familiar with any of her song, but she was the type of celebrity that everyone was aware of back in the day. Controversial, and a bald head. That somehow adds to a person's fame.

Though I'm not familiar with any of her songs, I do remember back in the mid 90s, on television, seeing a parody with a hairless woman, dark backdrop singing, "And she came and took my hair." I Googled, but couldn't find anything related.
