Yea, it looks like she certainly used her head. She might want to consider taking a closer look at her own life. She looks a mess. Her eyes show sadness and pain. Pity, that a beautiful person would intentionally spoil herself and for what - - self gratification? :-(
Sinead is a rock legend..a true survivor. She has been through hell and back. She's been beaten up by the record companies..taken advantage of by corporate musical execs..and was even insulted and personally bashed by Prince for recording his song "Nothing Compares 2U"..when that song single-handedly made him untold millions of dollars when he was almost broke and needed the money thanks to failed business ventures. But instead of thanking her..he put her down because he was not involved in the process of her recording the song. So when a musical legend like this gives you free advice..you shut up..take it..and say "thank you very much"..and then count your blessings someone of Sinead's stature gave a damn about you.
She's right. X factor &Co. Is the death of genuine spontaneous inventive expression in music. Turning art into another packaged, branded manufactured commodity to be stacked high and sold cheap. It's an irony that Sharon Osbourne is a judge on a show that would send her own husband packing were he to audition for it. I m no Ozzy fan btw, but even he is far better than the soulless dross Cowell champions. All money, commodity, lowest common denominator. No genuine expression
She has a very good point,i agree with he fully. Rock and other types of music is being murdered and songs of today have absolutly no meaning behind them at all...
One of the most talented singers on the planet Sinead and your voice is a treasure to those of us who appreciate music and what it inspires in those who are fortunate enough to know how to really "listen" which is something that the current generation knows NOTHING about. I got shivers up my spine when you said that rock & roll is being murdered. Truer words were never spoken.
I couldn't agree more, and Miley( who I adore) who is beautiful and has a unique voice should thank her lucky stars that Sinead has cared enough about her to give some advice. wanted or not. Sinead( whom I have the deepest respect for ) tells the truth. and might I say how beautiful she was doing it as well.
I love Sinead, and she's RIGHT! She hit the nail on the head. I admire her. She doesn't conform or give a rats anus what anyone thinks of her and her music and what she stands for, etc., and stands up for what she believes. She doesn't bow to the industry's fat-cats. She never "sold her soul to the devil" so she does have insight that a lot of other artists--especially young girls in the industry--can learn from. The thing is: will they? Since they've sold their soul for millions upon millions of dollars and for the fame and the limelight, do they even realize that they could very-well be in danger? I doubt it. Even Michael Jackson said (just before his death) that he was tired of "them" (referring to the elitist fat-cats) and that they were apparently attempting to control his entire life and even perhaps threatening him in some ways. He began to speak out against these people, and said that he was to be the voice that does so, and the next thing you know, he's dead. Coincidence? When Michael's sister was asked about it interviews, she said that she truly believes he was murdered. When she was asked whether a secret society or the "they" that Michael Jackson was referring to had him killed, she gulped and looked frightened to say anything! God Bless Sinead O'Connor and everyone else that speaks out and doesn't conform to the System!
I love Sinead because she is such a passionate artist and she writes her own music. She was very successful and very talented and original. So...it is not a bad thing to listen to her because she made excellent points in this video. She is saying that the people who are in charge of the music don't do anything themselves with music so why are they in charge of musicians and videos? Really I agree with her. Artists should be able to create their own concepts in videos. Its their music right?
Sinead is a very talented and mature musician....She knows what she's talking about....Would like to hear some more reggae come out of her camp tho ;)....Peace x
Definitely agree with Sinead on this - not only about the rock being murdered but also by the possibilities of Miley being young and impressionable and allowing herself to be exploited. Sinead has had many ups and downs in her career and, I honestly believe, is a voice of wisdom speaking here. Miley is a beautiful young woman and she has great ability - does she really need to lick on sledgehammers and swing around naked on a wrecking ball? Couldn't a beautiful song like that have been enjoyed without all the controversy? I'm no prude by a long shot but I honestly can't stand watching Miley's video - it just seems like she's after the shock factor and not trying to promote people appreciating her for her talent. I'd rather watch the Walk Off the Earth version - 3 girls sitting on the floor and harmonizing together, singing a beautiful song. It's far more entertaining.
Yeah, damn her for publicly calling out the Vatican for protecting paedos and murdering orphans. The backlash of ignorance has nothing to do with her being right or wrong.
creepycraig73 I watched that Booing thing today, i can't imagine the frustration she must've gone through, knowing something like that but people not believing her based on the fact it was the pope!! I often wondered if all those brain washed individuals who ridiculed her feel dreadful now, cause I would!!
Sinead, you were trying to help, and that is so honorable of you. Sometimes when we try and help, even taking the chance to be criticized for doing it, says so much about your generous spirit and willingness to help a foolish, and stupid girl. You were so right in what you are saying. You are a class act, and I love you Sinead. I am looking forward to seeing you at the Winery, in New York City in November.
I concur! I can't listen to radio anymore. I have to physically leave my house and go to a show/rave/festival to find real music. Currently stuck on island music and reggae!
I went back to reading a lot more. Not only music, but every single form of art is being slowly killed off including film and television. Ever seen the movie Equilibrium? That's pretty much the society we're headed towards
Love Sinéad! And she's right, Miley's OTT, but some just have to live and learn. Killing R&R? Pop is a different genre, and what they do on the talent shows (which I might be wrong, as I don't watch them), doesn't qualify as rock...
Sinead, you know and you rocks!!!! say all that people don't want to hear.........you're a icon for so much generations!!! poor miley...she's a little clown girl who wants to be an artist.....but art is pur talent and heart, not buy and not sale...
Rock is deader than dead. - My generation's greatest rockstar, Marilyn Manson. We need more famous musicians with something to say, not just saying something that is more often than not lyrics they didn't write.
So if somebody tells you do not drink from that bottle cause it has poison and will harm you, you are still gonna drink cause you wanna learn from your mistake?
I had expected a bitter woman to be resentful of a girl in her success. What I found was an intelligent mature woman warning a younger woman of how her actions may effect her. If Miley is doing this to keep alive in the press then so be it but if she is the train wreck that she is seemingly becoming then god bless her and I hope more will speak out and say something. She use to be an idol for my now 9 year old daughter. Now I dont want my daughter to see her
After all the news about her letter, I wasn't really sure if she was right. Now after hearing her talk, its just so real and coming right out of her heart. But I think that talking to Miley in person without sending open letters to her could have done a better effect. Because writing an open letter made it seem like Sinead was trying to gain publicity out of it and that she doesn't actually care for Miley. But Sinead, you've made mistakes and learned from them, let others do as well.
A Belgian journalist of a "quality" journal wrote that Sinéad O'Connor in her letter had been lashing at Miley Cyrus. Untrue. Everyone who has read O'Connors letter will come to the conclusion that she cares about how a young artist like Miley will be viewed by the media and the public. Sinéad fears that in the future only the gutter press wil remember and write about Miley because she went naked in a music videoclip. Sinéad did not write that Miley had no talent. She only wanted to warn Miley for the greedy moneymaking music industry.
you go conner hit the nail on the nose.... where did the music go.. did people sing so much theres nothing to write about. same with movies I think they ran out out of words. the music from 90' 80s 70's 60's last forever thank god... thank you, for being you.. I mean look at hillbillies of hollywood. how dare jayjay. profit on a boy a family, we all see right threw the bullshit. . yes i like the hillbilles, hell I am one. but hows he going to feel really..
very well stated Sinead, Miley doesn't realize and I hope she soon does how foolish it is to be exploited in the works of licking a hammer. What's her point? or even passion? and the sad part is when she stops making sales they will run her over and steal her soul.
Come on people! Seriously? Yes, rock & roll is going to die because of The X factor, The voice and all that crap that helps people become "artists", but it's not dying because of Miley's small outifts. Or her tongue, or whatever she's doing! Rock&roll is not (AND NEVER HAS BEEN) to teach people how to be nice! Have u never seen naked people on rock&roll shows? small outfits? tongue expositions, explicit performances? If rock & roll is in fact dying, believe me, is not because of that.
Tubridy was awful during this interview he kept harping on about miley and didnt let the interview flow i do have pity on him though as most the blame should go on the people feeding him the questions into his ear
Sinead is right. And everyone knows it. Regardless of whether you love or hate her, she's always speaks the truth.
A true artist speaking the truth.
Wow... she just hit the nail on the head! Impressive!
Yea, it looks like she certainly used her head. She might want to consider taking a closer look at her own life. She looks a mess. Her eyes show sadness and pain. Pity, that a beautiful person would intentionally spoil herself and for what - - self gratification? :-(
I watch Wrecking Ball when I need a larf :D
deliusism1 Bullseye.
Sinead is a rock legend..a true survivor. She has been through hell and back.

So when a musical legend like this gives you free advice..you shut up..take it..and say "thank you very much"..and then count your blessings someone of Sinead's stature gave a damn about you.
Her shaven head image always said to me: "I am a singer, not a model or a stripper."
She's right. X factor &Co. Is the death of genuine spontaneous inventive expression in music. Turning art into another packaged, branded manufactured commodity to be stacked high and sold cheap. It's an irony that Sharon Osbourne is a judge on a show that would send her own husband packing were he to audition for it. I m no Ozzy fan btw, but even he is far better than the soulless dross Cowell champions. All money, commodity, lowest common denominator. No genuine expression
Simon Cowell is the antichrist.
Sinead is absolutely correct, rock is being murdered.
By jack the (mp3) ripper?????
Sinead, THANK YOU! Speak your truths... You rock.
She has a very good point,i agree with he fully. Rock and other types of music is being murdered and songs of today have absolutly no meaning behind them at all...
One of the most talented singers on the planet Sinead and your voice is a treasure to those of us who appreciate music and what it inspires in those who are fortunate enough to know how to really "listen" which is something that the current generation knows NOTHING about. I got shivers up my spine when you said that rock & roll is being murdered. Truer words were never spoken.
She is so correct! There are no morals these days! The new performers of today need to be thankful to Sinead for her good advice from the heart...
She shaves her head and those eyes THOSE EYES!
I couldn't agree more, and Miley( who I adore) who is beautiful and has a unique voice should thank her lucky stars that Sinead has cared enough about her to give some advice. wanted or not. Sinead( whom I have the deepest respect for ) tells the truth. and might I say how beautiful she was doing it as well.
much respect for this woman.
"But you're saying they're murdering music."
Yeah, they are. That's why she said it.
sinead has worked hard and she has talent. who is miley?
she is so right its unreal!
I love Sinead, and she's RIGHT! She hit the nail on the head. I admire her. She doesn't conform or give a rats anus what anyone thinks of her and her music and what she stands for, etc., and stands up for what she believes. She doesn't bow to the industry's fat-cats.

Excellent wisdom filled advice from an elder...do not dismiss their advice. They've been there, done that and know.
she talks a lot of sense!
shes forgotten more about real music than most of you can understand and still knows more than most... respect this legend.... she is a rare talent.
Sinead.. how very true your word's are
Sinead is a very talented and mature musician....She knows what she's talking about....Would like to hear some more reggae come out of her camp tho ;)....Peace x
Sinead O'Connor is a musical goddess. I love her.
Definitely agree with Sinead on this - not only about the rock being murdered but also by the possibilities of Miley being young and impressionable and allowing herself to be exploited.

Wow, every word that came out of her mouth was absolutely spot on. Lol at the misguided people that disliked this.
Sinead has never been wrong. Ever.
Yeah, damn her for publicly calling out the Vatican for protecting paedos and murdering orphans. The backlash of ignorance has nothing to do with her being right or wrong.
At least you have something to hang your hat on. Good for you.
creepycraig73 I watched that Booing thing today, i can't imagine the frustration she must've gone through, knowing something like that but people not believing her based on the fact it was the pope!! I often wondered if all those brain washed individuals who ridiculed her feel dreadful now, cause I would!!
Good for YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Sinead you are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
She's spot on.

SHE'S SO CORRECT
Sinead is sooooooo wise and honest
She's absolutely right.
LOVE HER!!!!!
Well said Sinead, Spot on!!
Looking awesome too!
I think she (Sinead) is absolutely spot on! She has been in the "business" long enough to know what she is talking about.
She is right on.
She's definitely right..
Sinead speaks sense here, imo.
She has a point.
Well Said!!!!
Amen sister!
I hope she keeps putting out new music.
this woman is so smart and intelligent
rock n roll all way! Well said Sinead o' Connor!
This is absolutely spot on!
fair play and well said!! music is being murdered!!
SHE IS RIGHT ON ALL LEVELS
I agree with Sinead O'Connor
Sinead, you were trying to help, and that is so honorable of you. Sometimes when we try and help, even taking the chance to be criticized for doing it, says so much about your generous spirit and willingness to help a foolish, and stupid girl. You were so right in what you are saying. You are a class act, and I love you Sinead.
I am looking forward to seeing you at the Winery, in New York City in November.
I'm not a fan but Sinead is bang-on the money here.
You tell 'em Sinead!
Wise words from one who knows.....
I concur! I can't listen to radio anymore. I have to physically leave my house and go to a show/rave/festival to find real music. Currently stuck on island music and reggae!
Wise words from a wise Woman...Correct Sinead xx
I went back to reading a lot more. Not only music, but every single form of art is being slowly killed off including film and television. Ever seen the movie Equilibrium? That's pretty much the society we're headed towards
She was so beautiful back in the 90's.
Well said Sinead.
Yes, she was correct..
damn...she s right ...
VOICE OF TRUTH!
Not much of a Sinead fan, but she's right on with this one.
She is still hot..and well said!
Amen! Sinead, Amen!
Very well said, Sinead!
Love Sinéad! And she's right, Miley's OTT, but some just have to live and learn.
Killing R&R? Pop is a different genre, and what they do on the talent shows (which I might be wrong, as I don't watch them), doesn't qualify as rock...
Yes the music industry does give a damn about her artists
Sinaed has a point but where is Miley's father in this? He's been in the music industry for 20 - 30 years too.
Sinead, you know and you rocks!!!! say all that people don't want to hear.........you're a icon for so much generations!!! poor miley...she's a little clown girl who wants to be an artist.....but art is pur talent and heart, not buy and not sale...
Rock is deader than dead. - My generation's greatest rockstar, Marilyn Manson. We need more famous musicians with something to say, not just saying something that is more often than not lyrics they didn't write.
Sinead hasn't appeared outta nowhere, she's been back for two years now
So if somebody tells you do not drink from that bottle cause it has poison and will harm you, you are still gonna drink cause you wanna learn from your mistake?
i hate what shows like american idol have done and how the once child stars of nick and disney are so screwed up
She's telling it like it is.
Sinead is awesome.
Amen! Rock and Roll is being destroyed.
Sinaed has always been right. But I hate the fuckin' tattoo's...
well spoken!
She's right.Rock has been taken over by the money men.
Wisdom

On the nose, she's awesome
Well I understand what shes saying even though the interviewer doesn't.
