If there is a single song that carries more human emotions I've not heard it. Love, hate, loneliness, rage, tenderness, compassion, strength, gentleness, fearfulness, resilience, etc. Forever in your debt Sinead thanks for the music.
I’ve seen her several times in live performances. This is my favorite song she wrote, and sadly I never saw her perform it live. This woman touched my soul with her music. I am heartbroken at the loss of her.
I do agree, but but but but “Drink before the War”” , was in my opinion, the best song ever. So simple ,but yet so emotional. And the very few lyrics that were in that song were so so deep. Crazy thing is she wrote it when she was 15 or 16 I think and didn’t like it at all and hardly performed it. Till this day, I rake the Internet looking for live versions of it.
It's beyond belief that she sung this song every bit as well as she did in her twenties. She was phenomenal. Really unsurpassed. Sínéad, you were a warrior.
most poignant and important comment ever. as usual, media, society, and world as a whole feel the need to vilify, disqualify, and discredit strong females.
she did not lose her career due to that. Sinead has so many demons of her own that she has battled. She's even been somewhat penitent about it, as i heard in an interview with Stern a few years back.
i don't think she lost her career at all, she is much better singer today and, what is more important, much better person. For being a succesful you don't need to sell, just to sing and make emotions burst, ans she is just excellent doing it, Apart from that, thanks to her fight againts abuses, she is respected and taken in consideration by good people who love
My God, you are so incredibly spot on.....yes yes yes to all u said. I've always felt that this whole album was special and this is one of two tracks that I consider life-changing. Her voice. I feel my heart burst with every phrase and her spirit is indeed so special. She's so horribly underrated. I'm hanging on every word. Such a rare show of true emotion, raw AF and viscerally sublime and primal. Beautiful. Legendary.
I remember seeing her on her first tour in 1987. She came out on stage, a tiny 20 year old woman with a shaved head in blue jeans, white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. She looked nervous but as soon as she started singing Jackie she took command of that stage for the entirety of the show. I haven't seen too many artists with this much stage presence. Her vocal range, even here, is nothing less than impressive.
Yeah, I saw the same tour at The World in NYC - pink tutu and jack-boots - The Smiths rhythm section. This is awesome with the orchestra - have you ever heard the dance remixes of it! Excellent too.
Young Sinead singing this with just her and a guitar, or older Sinead with a full orchestral accompaniment, so moving either way. Such a powerful person and voice. RIP.
The magnificence of the orchestral accompaniment is testament to, is response to, her singularly beautiful heart, soul and genius. Her torment was unfathomable, her fight unrelenting. Her music saved her. Rest in peace with your God now, dear Sinead, your true and eternal Savior
After all those times I listened to this song, it still gives me the chills. A tormented woman, standing there, all by herself, crying her heart out, not giving a damn how she looks, wow, that's really impressive!
We have just lost the woman who had the greatest voice of all time but who also wrote the greatest song of all time, this. The world will not be the same without her..
R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor. Difficult and hard life you've had. Your music meant so much to me at one point in my life, for that I will always be grateful. Thank you. Love you
This is one of her best performances. Sinead is really a true artist, no heavy make-ups, props, just her voice and true emotions, no drama. RIP Sinead🌹
After hearing the sad news of her passing away, I stumbled upon this version of this magnificant song. For me, she will allways be remembered because of her beautiful, emotional and yet powerful voice. I hope she has found the peace she was looking for. R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor (8 december 1966 - 26 juli 2023)
I'm just crying listening to it.... She was still able to sing this difficult and beautiful song. Her music helped me so much during a dark period in my life and it's so sad she's gone. RIP, great soul.
Nobody compares to you Sinead, very ironic but massively true...you spoke up for the children that had no voice and you did it with the look and voice of an Angel.....you make me proud to be Irish.
Rust zacht schoonheid. Je muziek raakt me het leven is niet makkelijk geweest voor je. Respect dat je de kerk terecht hebt gewezen. De paus is onlangs weer in Portugal geweest vanwege grootschalig misbruik. Ze moeten zich schamen en jou heilig verklaren. Hoop dat je nu rust gaat vinden. Tot een volgend leven.❤
Wow, just wow...this is why she'll be remembered forever. An utterly unique voice. Pure raw angelic intensity. And that effervescent smile at the end! Thank you Sinead ❤
The energy of her younger years was immense but as she's gotten older she seems to have concentrated more on the quality of her vocal performances and it's fantastic :)
Always,always a a feckin inspiration. We went to see her doing a turn in Manchester, our home town for four decades. Can't remember the year, but it was early on. The breathtaking beauty of her voice was beautiful. X
well put! some are deeply moved, others not. hard to understand how people are not affected by this, but then again, i hate "Come Together" by the Beatles - an absolute sacrilegious opinion to some!
Breathtaking!!! What can I say this song is so passionate and it doesn’t matter how many times you listen to it whether it’s the official version or life several years…. Leaves me completely emotional and gets my hair standing up on my arms. One of the greatest songs ever. RIP ❤️
Bon sang, j'ai regardé plusieurs fois cette vidéo, et ça continue de me prendre les tripes. Aux larmes 😢 Je ne comprends pas ceux qui n'ont pas vu que cette femme est un miracle. Le talent ultime. Malgré la maltraitance de mauvais médecins à cette époque, elle reste unique à mes yeux. Sinéad je t'aime infiniment ❤❤😢❤
J'ai vu vos commentaires sur plusieurs vidéos de Sinéad, ça fait plaisir de voir que des francophones l'aiment autant que moi. Elle devrait être plus connue, sa musique, son parcours, son courage, son intégrité... Beaucoup d'artistes de chez nous devraient en prendre de la graine. Après tout, comme elle a dit "Ils ont essayé de m'enterrer, mais ils n'ont pas compris que je suis une graine."
@@gretagarbeige nous sommes bien d'accord, elle était trop peu médiatisée en France, je rattrape tout ce temps perdu, grâce à UA-cam, j'ai découvert et je continue de voir toute sa carrière. Pour moi elle est unique c'est la plus belle voix du monde, et la plus belle âme, que malheureusement la vie a fait souffrir. Je ne peux plus vivre une journée sans écouter et voir ma belle irlandaise. J'ai le même âge, ma vision de la vie a totalement changé. Sinéad je t'aime infiniment ❤❤😢❤
I vividly remember the first time I was exposed to her music was through this song, I,an angsty teenager as most if not all of them are,was hanging out at a friends place in the summer of '87. Watching a canadian music program (Good Rockin' Tonight) and Sinead O'Connor-Troy came on...well..I can admit in my 13 yr old ignorance I didn't understand the phenomenon on the screen,possibly even dismissed it as "too weird for me"...but now,jeezus. It's arguably the best debut album of all time,cuts so deep in so many places,brilliantly written,the pathos and conviction etc etc.
The best art… the very best art has emotion and serious depth. This performance and this song is art of the very highest caliber. Sinead Bernadette will live on forever. THE Phoenix from the Flame…..
I saw her on that first US tour. Stunning. Now this version. All the years, all the experience, looking back at what had gone. This song has even more power decades later. Wow, this is astounding.
Before there was Alanis Morrisette, there was Sinéad O'Connor, before there was The Cranberries, there was The Lion & The Cobra. Remember that always. Honor Sinéad as the first of her kind, because she was. RIP brave warrior. We, your fans, love you. ❤️ 😢🙏
Brave, sensitive talented. If I never make it to Ireland, I'll be happy that your music trespassed the borderlines and is here with me and has been since a long time ago. It is so sad I will never attend a concert given by you. I would give you a hug from all my hearth, I would tell you how loved and admired you still are. RIP Dear sinnead.
Struggling with difficult mental health issues myself, this video hit hard, you can hear the despair, sadness, and anxiety in her voice. Such an amazing woman, strong, before her time and her voice it's absolutely fantastic and beautiful! She'll most certainly be missed. 🖤🖤🖤
Tout simplement magique, une vraie chanteuse , quelle émotion quand elle chante , elle est unique, Sinéad, j'aurais tellement voulu te sauver de toutes tes souffrances, je t'aime à vie❤❤❤❤
I wish this women didnt feel so alone when so many of us hold her in our hearts. Her death affected me way more then i thought possible. Like i lost a long time friend. Rip u beautiful true soul. Forever part of my past presant and future ❤
She is not gone her spirit lives on through me and her music I have picked up since the day after she passed her mission on to me. Peace be with you pray for us there are more of us she speaks to. Be safe. She is not gone. She will rise just like this song. Do you think all she did was wasted? No it’s only the beginning of a very bright future 🎉
She really is a phoenix that rose from the flames ! Much respect Sinead! We love ya ! One of the most powerful female artists out there and every time she nails it
She was such a special person, beautiful woman, fabulous voice, unique!!! You will be missed so much! May God now bring you the peace you so deserve, all my love Yasmin xx Goodnight, God bless dearest Sinaed
I have bought all her records right from the start and I so regret never seeing her live.... I still think this is her best song. Thanks for posting this 👍
Seu envolvimento com a canção é algo surreal e nato sempre presente em qualquer apresentação que fez. Simplesmente talentosa, voz inconfundível, interpretação única e brilhante... Deixou transbordar do coração para a alma cantante... Levou o palco da contagiante emoção a maravilhosa sonoridade musical em arrepios e aplausos, simplesmente merecido. Bravo Sinéad O'Connor ,👏👏💯❤️
Sinead that was just lovely live version of troy, with the live orchestra and you were so sweet and nice at the end. I miss you and your amazing powerful singing voice and your great talent for song writing and records amazingly fabulous songs and doing amazingly artist live shows. (Slan Sinead) - Love and Best Wishes Craig - London - UK. XxXxX.
God I love her,her whole life was one big tragedy from childhood on. A piece of my heart died when you passed! I hope God is holding your hand right now!! I love you Sinead!!!!!!
Uma verdadeira sinfonia de Sinéad O'Connor; parte de uma ópera da história comovente de um ser genial, prodígio, talento indiscutível, voz interpretação e performance iniqualável, um presente fenomenal que Deus assinou e o mundo muito grato aprecia aplaudindo emocionado.🎶💕🌹👏🌎💯♥️
É uma pena que ela tenha partido tão cedo, que tenha morrido tão jovem, que tivesse tanto talento, mas tenha deixado seu legado musical, sua essência. seu brilho.. descanse em paz Sinéad!! 🙏🌷🌹
This is my favorite of her songs (and it's been running through my head all day, as it often does). I love the way it starts with a description of such youthful innocence ("We were SO young then we thought everything we could POSSIBLY do was right"--exactly, like pretty much all of us as young people) and works its way through the relationship of which she sings in all its stages until the raging, magnificent "You're still a liar." The entire album still stuns me after all these years--aside from Sinead's incomparable voice (and how ridiculously beautiful she was), the songs and the arrangements are just so complex and sophisticated and evocative. (And I would have torn that picture in half too, and felt perfectly justified. No one wanted to hear the truth then, or even now, but she was willing to destroy her career to make her point.)
RIP sinead, may you rest in warm love and be togheter with your son know in peace.thank you lovely soul🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Such a voice, so powerful in it's truth and vunerability. R.I.P. Sinead, you deserve it after all you went through and all you fought. Thank You for your courage and your voice.
Say what you want about her some of you. My guess is you weren't there from '87-'91. Sure, she came in like a raging fire that burned out too quickly but for a short time there was nothing like her. Maybe you had to be there in '87 when she shook up the music world with a stunning debut album unlike anything at that time. Saw her only once, about twelve years after "Lion", as a second tier opening act for Lilith Fair. By that time the fire was almost completely out as she barely responded to a crowd that couldn't have cared less of her previous stature and accomplishments. The 1988 performance of this song at Dominion Theater alone is testament to the star power and charisma she once possessed as she stood there like a Joan Of Arc mythic figure slaying the audience with just one song. So glad I was there in the beginning to experience this amazing artist at her peak.
Completely agreed on the Joan of Arc part. I Was there in 1988 Pinkpop - there is a video for that. The sheer anger has completely gone from the voice, but its still enough to give me wet eyes. Still own Lion/Cobra album - its a classic in its own league.
also important to mention that at the time she was vilified for her opinions, but more than that her appearance alone was enough for mainstream audiences to ridicule her before she sang one note. oh how far we've come; today, luckily - oh wait ...
LOL...who give a fuck if she responded to some moronic crowd of housewives or not? Boring fucks living boring lives that buy a ticket to a concert...so what? Why the fuck should anyone respond to a crowd of ignorant fucks?

Will always be one of the greatest songs ever sung. RIP Sinead

Night night sinead Alison 4:12 4:13
My favourite song from her! 💗
Quer ver mais um show de Sinéad O'Connor é esse. Digna de ser ovacionada com fevor , amor e reconhecimento ! ✍️🎶🎤👏🌹💯
Years ago this little girl fought like a lion against the abuses in the church. And lost her career. Respect Sinead!
most poignant and important comment ever. as usual, media, society, and world as a whole feel the need to vilify, disqualify, and discredit strong females.
she did not lose her career due to that. Sinead has so many demons of her own that she has battled. She's even been somewhat penitent about it, as i heard in an interview with Stern a few years back.
She does have large personal demons. Still an incredible talent, inspirational.
i don't think she lost her career at all, she is much better singer today and, what is more important, much better person. For being a succesful you don't need to sell, just to sing and make emotions burst, ans she is just excellent doing it, Apart from that, thanks to her fight againts abuses, she is respected and taken in consideration by good people who love
what kind of abuses? what she's exactly revolted against? Im asking because I discovered her recently
This is the most magnificent song ever. A woman's raw emotion, she is holding a sacred feminine energy that we rarely see these days.
My God, you are so incredibly spot on.....yes yes yes to all u said. I've always felt that this whole album was special and this is one of two tracks that I consider life-changing. Her voice. I feel my heart burst with every phrase and her spirit is indeed so special. She's so horribly underrated. I'm hanging on every word. Such a rare show of true emotion, raw AF and viscerally sublime and primal. Beautiful. Legendary.
I must be a woman then. I always felt that song in my soul.
When she sings "and I love you... God I love you... I'd kill a dragon for you ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh die" I still cry.
i was going to add something snappy but....you explained it perfectly...well said
Yeah its so raw I felt it
I remember seeing her on her first tour in 1987. She came out on stage, a tiny 20 year old woman with a shaved head in blue jeans, white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. She looked nervous but as soon as she started singing Jackie she took command of that stage for the entirety of the show. I haven't seen too many artists with this much stage presence. Her vocal range, even here, is nothing less than impressive.
Kiss to these beautifull years
Same for me - " hi, I'm Sinead and I'm going to sing" so shy but blew us away!
Yeah, I saw the same tour at The World in NYC - pink tutu and jack-boots - The Smiths rhythm section. This is awesome with the orchestra - have you ever heard the dance remixes of it! Excellent too.
There are dance remixes of this too?
That truly must've been amazing. She was my first girl crush, and my god, her first album was absolutely fantastic. ❤
Young Sinead singing this with just her and a guitar, or older Sinead with a full orchestral accompaniment, so moving either way. Such a powerful person and voice. RIP.
The magnificence of the orchestral accompaniment is testament to, is response to, her singularly beautiful heart, soul and genius. Her torment was unfathomable, her fight unrelenting. Her music saved her. Rest in peace with your God now, dear Sinead, your true and eternal Savior
Thanks Brian
Still in her bare feet ♥She was a presence to behold live xx
After all those times I listened to this song, it still gives me the chills. A tormented woman, standing there, all by herself, crying her heart out, not giving a damn how she looks, wow, that's really impressive!
She looked great
She was real.
We have just lost the woman who had the greatest voice of all time but who also wrote the greatest song of all time, this. The world will not be the same without her..
one of THE greatest songs of all time, and Sinead is one of the greatest artists of any Time. She is Timeless.
R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor. Difficult and hard life you've had. Your music meant so much to me at one point in my life, for that I will always be grateful. Thank you. Love you
That’s what I call a live performance, RIP Sinead.
The voice that defines why humans created in the first place...... Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿
That voice. Her presence. Her vulnerability. Her courage. We can only hope that she’s at peace. She gave us a lot in a short time. Rest well ❤
Rest in peace Sinéad. You had such a voice and you fought such a fight 🖤
🙏🙏🙏🥀🌹
This is one of her best performances. Sinead is really a true artist, no heavy make-ups, props, just her voice and true emotions, no drama. RIP Sinead🌹
This song has saved my life more that once. God Bless Sinead. ✨
this has to be one of the best songs ever written. brilliant briliant brilliant
Sinead literally got me through the worst times in my life. I'm forever grateful and just love her. Thank you.

This is how we will remember you. You will rise
You'll return
The Phoenix from the flame
I'm just crying listening to it.... She was still able to sing this difficult and beautiful song. Her music helped me so much during a dark period in my life and it's so sad she's gone. RIP, great soul.
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard.
For me it's the Pinkpop edition. Very raw emotion and so pure
Heartbreaking perfection. We miss you Sinead. It was a privilege to be in the world when you were. X
The lion and the cobra was one of the best debut albums ever
I loved her back in the day when i was 17 and cruising with this music in the 90's and it hasnt changed, still love her today at 52, RIP Sinead
Unbelievably good!!!! Very intense! Rest in peace, Sinead.
THE best video l've ever seen on Utube. I'll save it forever.
Nobody compares to you Sinead, very ironic but massively true...you spoke up for the children that had no voice and you did it with the look and voice of an Angel.....you make me proud to be Irish.
Rust zacht schoonheid. Je muziek raakt me het leven is niet makkelijk geweest voor je. Respect dat je de kerk terecht hebt gewezen. De paus is onlangs weer in Portugal geweest vanwege grootschalig misbruik. Ze moeten zich schamen en jou heilig verklaren. Hoop dat je nu rust gaat vinden. Tot een volgend leven.❤
Wow, just wow...this is why she'll be remembered forever. An utterly unique voice. Pure raw angelic intensity. And that effervescent smile at the end! Thank you Sinead ❤
The energy of her younger years was immense but as she's gotten older she seems to have concentrated more on the quality of her vocal performances and it's fantastic :)
Always,always a a feckin inspiration. We went to see her doing a turn in Manchester, our home town for four decades. Can't remember the year, but it was early on. The breathtaking beauty of her voice was beautiful. X
we were there, surprising act we were amazed. Still the same voice after all these years . goosebumps .
My God she's incredible. Chills. How can ANYONE dislike this??
for some it's too much, for others it's just not their thing
well put! some are deeply moved, others not. hard to understand how people are not affected by this, but then again, i hate "Come Together" by the Beatles - an absolute sacrilegious opinion to some!
ONE and Only ONE with that Powerful Angelic Voice Singing from the CORE of HER EXISTENCE 🥰😍😲😰🫢😓RInP Amazing God Greatest CHILD ❤💖💖💝❤️🔥💗💗❤️🩹💘❤️🩹💖
And that MUSIC & MUSICIANS.. Orchestra are equally amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Breathtaking!!! What can I say this song is so passionate and it doesn’t matter how many times you listen to it whether it’s the official version or life several years…. Leaves me completely emotional and gets my hair standing up on my arms. One of the greatest songs ever. RIP ❤️
This version is sublime

Just as powerful here as it was when she first performed it. Wow❤
Tout simplement magique, une vraie chanteuse , quelle émotion quand elle chante , elle est unique, Sinéad, j'aurais tellement voulu te sauver de toutes tes souffrances, je t'aime à vie❤❤❤❤
She's so gifted. Lion and the Cobra is one of the top albums of all time.
And she made it under the age of 20. That just amazes me!
I agree
I wish this women didnt feel so alone when so many of us hold her in our hearts. Her death affected me way more then i thought possible. Like i lost a long time friend. Rip u beautiful true soul. Forever part of my past presant and future ❤

I am over 60-and nothing compares to this song by Sinead. God I love you. Id slay a dragon for you.
She really is a phoenix that rose from the flames ! Much respect Sinead! We love ya ! One of the most powerful female artists out there and every time she nails it
This was simply awesome!
When this came out my best friend and I would sing this at top of our lungs on our way to the clubs. I will never forget that.❤
Genius! What a incredible voice. One of the most impressive artists ever.
She was such a special person, beautiful woman, fabulous voice, unique!!! You will be missed so much! May God now bring you the peace you so deserve, all my love Yasmin xx Goodnight, God bless dearest Sinaed
Una voce che era un velo per l'anima nonostante il dolore durissimo della sua esistenza, addio creatura magnifica 🥲
Sinéad. Dear. Theres only one, just one with this voice. You! Hero ❤
I have bought all her records right from the start and I so regret never seeing her live.... I still think this is her best song.
Thanks for posting this 👍
I thought I still had time to see her live...

What an amazing voice. RIP Sinead
Good grief!! This woman makes me feel every emotion that I can possibly feel every time I hear her sing. I love you Sinead!
+Michele Johnson-Utter Just read what i wrote!
This is my favorite of her songs (and it's been running through my head all day, as it often does). I love the way it starts with a description of such youthful innocence ("We were SO young then we thought everything we could POSSIBLY do was right"--exactly, like pretty much all of us as young people) and works its way through the relationship of which she sings in all its stages until the raging, magnificent "You're still a liar." The entire album still stuns me after all these years--aside from Sinead's incomparable voice (and how ridiculously beautiful she was), the songs and the arrangements are just so complex and sophisticated and evocative. (And I would have torn that picture in half too, and felt perfectly justified. No one wanted to hear the truth then, or even now, but she was willing to destroy her career to make her point.)
I grew up with the studio version of this song and never thought to see her do it live. Amazing performance.
not only does she pierce the heart she pierces the soul

Avec cette orchestre symphonique un moment unique ! Quelle performance !
O que mais surpreende é que Sinéad O'Connor compôs e produziu essa música muito jovem, uma verdadeira obra de arte, primorosa, sublime ... comovente
Profesional y emotiva era real. Creo no hay otra comparable maravillosa!!! Mis respetos por ella. Siento su perdida ❤
Me 2
Such a voice, so powerful in it's truth and vunerability. R.I.P. Sinead, you deserve it after all you went through and all you fought. Thank You for your courage and your voice.
God what a performance!!! An orchestra! Wow
after all these years, she still has 'it'
I read this while I thought it :)
Respect for her
my favorite song as a in-love-teenager, it was the first song I had to listen when i heard the terrible news R.I.P.
This is far and away one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Such beauty and strength.
What a legend. show your babies love for Sinead
😔😪💔🙏
She sang like an angel. I think she still does ♥
It takes guts to sing this song again so many years later this way...respect for everything you ment in this world.
Its so like she deserves so much more respect.
Love you siinead rip ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Grandissima Bravissima.Tutte le canzoni sono Bellissime. R.P.I.e Buon Viaggio.
RIP Sinead I will play this song again and again in tribute ❤
What an amazing talent. I've loved her voice for 25 years now. This song still stands up and the orchestra adds to it beautifully.
This song guided me through the worst betrayal of my life. My first love sleeping with a red head behind my back. I eventually rose like a Phoenix 😔
What a performance! God I love her... I wish I could hug her every day and make her smile... laugh and sing.. nothing more. she is a treasure
Absolutely amazing!
Rest in eternal peace, my sister Sinead O'Connor
Still... one of the most amazing live performances ever caught on film.
Say what you want about her some of you. My guess is you weren't there from '87-'91. Sure, she came in like a raging fire that burned out too quickly but for a short time there was nothing like her. Maybe you had to be there in '87 when she shook up the music world with a stunning debut album unlike anything at that time. Saw her only once, about twelve years after "Lion", as a second tier opening act for Lilith Fair. By that time the fire was almost completely out as she barely responded to a crowd that couldn't have cared less of her previous stature and accomplishments. The 1988 performance of this song at Dominion Theater alone is testament to the star power and charisma she once possessed as she stood there like a Joan Of Arc mythic figure slaying the audience with just one song. So glad I was there in the beginning to experience this amazing artist at her peak.
Completely agreed on the Joan of Arc part. I Was there in 1988 Pinkpop - there is a video for that. The sheer anger has completely gone from the voice, but its still enough to give me wet eyes. Still own Lion/Cobra album - its a classic in its own league.
Nothing like her then, now or ever will be again Yes Yes A one off that's for sure
also important to mention that at the time she was vilified for her opinions, but more than that her appearance alone was enough for mainstream audiences to ridicule her before she sang one note. oh how far we've come; today, luckily - oh wait ...
LOL...who give a fuck if she responded to some moronic crowd of housewives or not? Boring fucks living boring lives that buy a ticket to a concert...so what? Why the fuck should anyone respond to a crowd of ignorant fucks?
And then, afterwards, came all the fakes. The ones with the voice but without the emotion.
