She is definitely not crazy. She's very articulate and intelligent and tells it as it is. She also has an aura of kindness about her. I wish her well.
Of course she wasn’t crazy. I think that label came from the SNL incident. It’s a label that men like for women they either fear and/or don’t understand.
I think she had BPD. Nothing to do with a lack of intelligence or sanity. A lot of BPD sufferers are VERY switched on.
@@LuvsTruth true
no one really said that
@@LuvsTruth It's a label that women like for women as well.
She was a highly intelligent woman who saw a crazy world with accurate eyes and spoke about it… RIP
She was an Empathetic labeled as crazy... Being highly empathetic can be a curse... Causes everything to hurt... Your mind, body & soul is in pain, suffering yourself while watching others suffer & feeling a deep need to help
But why is she dressed like a washerwoman from the 14th century? Is she cosplaying as the Wife of Bath or what?
she converted to islam and often wore coverings @@john.premose
Muslims don't rip
@@matimus100 they tear?
This woman deserves an apology ♥️ she is just an example of what happen when a pure soul try to find her own path and questioning every phase of her journey under the so many stress and the madness of spotlights, she was and still brave ❤️
She passed away :(
@@waqqasabdul5094 All she did was shed her physical form. She's alive and well in the next life. That's what I believe.
Why does she deserve an apology?
This is NOT a woman that was 'crazy.' This was a woman that bravely spoke out about things when others weren't.
"Social media is a salve for loneliness, but not a cure". A tremendous woman, gone far too soon.
Well said , on social media.
So true. It can connect people, but we also need to go beyond that. People need to have communities in real life too.
RIP Sinead, you left a mark on the world and we're better for it.
I agree, she was able to leave a mark and she did it without an agenda.
Muslims don't rest in peace
I love Sinead because she says what she feels is right in the moment. She might regret some of it later, but you always know you'll get her truth in the moment.
What I love about her is she always speaks what is on her mind completely, no lies in her words💗
Yep,thats the gig Hun..................
Speaking one's mind has no bearing whatsoever on whether that of which they speak of is a lie or not. For instance, the claim that John Lennon's death was a conspiracy perpetrated by record companies is a bold face lie.
Yeah only Taqiyya diarrhea lie tactic
Agreed
Sinead has shown the sheer power of raw emotion. She's suffered so much emotional trauma. But that same pain and the insights she's found in her search for peace inject her music with an emotional intensity and honesty that's breathtaking.
music!
Yet she couldn't help her own son.....sad...
In a society that is sick, the sane appear mad. Beautiful soul, this one. Love you, Sinead! I will continue to celebrate your life.
Yes, precisely, I admire Sinéad too!
A brilliant mind. So much wisdom. Huge heart. She’s brutally honest. I, for one absolutely love her candor. I find her incredibly fascinating and I love her humanitarianism.
Indeed, no one compares to her.☮️💟
Just shut up
🤣🤣
Same here!!! She is so very strong.
You're joking right? Her own kids can't stand her
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
She was bloody intelligent! Because she had some issues in her life, all of a sudden "shes crazy" - Sinead was not crazy. May Allah grant her Jannah..Amin🤲
She's so intelligent. I like how she is able to see using and/and rather than either/or. I just recently became a fan as I was only 6 or so when she was big in America, but I do remember seeing her Nothing Compares 2 U video on MTV and stopping what I was doing because of the emotional power.
She was my muse. She will always be special to me. So many songs she wrote have changed my life and stirred my soul. Rest in peace, dear muse.
Sinead is now part of the constellation of free-thinking generous-hearted folk whose legacy shines of love and joy, in truth through self expression, that will not be extinguished. Her words and thoughts are like to that of John Lennon. Sweet flight & happy rest in encounters with the best of souls she joins.
There is a misconception (after reading some of these comments) that if you have mental health problems you are miserable with no sense of humour which isn't true at all. Reading Sineads book it has great humour. In life shit happens and you deal with it the best way you know how as you go along and I feel she has done so admirably in an inspirational way🙏💚🎶🌈
I'll bet her book is fantastic. I'm keeping it mind for a future book purchase.
Her book is a Brilliant, funny and touching. Almost finished the book now and will read it again. 📖
Yes I plan to read it again too X fascinating lady 🙏💚🌠
@@janewright2800 First of all, I think the missconception is to say one has or not a sense of humour. What is humour? Hopefully not the abillity for understandig or telling jokes. Some mental health problems cause sirious problems in understandig word plays or figurative meanings. I noticed that personally and was later told its a warning sign (a stroke may cause simmilar symptoms), My sister never lost her sense of humor, but was confused or amused like you would be, when I would say, your pulled it on its hair to you - Im literaly tanslatet the german phrase for its far-fetched.
People are saying she’s crazy.. I think she’s smarter then we think 😉
To me shes a flawed genius, part of a very select number of human beings who have been personally touched by God.
If she was smart she would have changed the music industry from within like Madonna who is also controversial, wealthy and outspoken.
I love her!!!
@Barbara Guest She "Expressed Herself" ..There are heaps of articles about her feminism within that music corporate structure.
@@melsmithmel Thats a really unfair comparison. Madonna set out to be the biggest pop star on the planet but Sinead never wanted this. She is a true rebel feminist who does not give into looking sexy to sell records like Madonna. I am not bashing Madonna as she is a legend but Sinead definitely made an impact with very little.
Her face and eyes are a map of pain. A very hard life. Somehow i feel she didn't die. She got released. May she find happiness and joy in the other world.
She has tapped into something much higher then the human brain. God says that some will have eyes to see and ears to hear but not all will be given the eyes and ears. She was. She sees the reality of things.
Which god?
It's very obvious that Sinead O Connor is a lovely woman and all this nonsense about her being crazy or mad 😡 is fools misunderstanding and judging a person who they never met or had a conversation with Sometimes it hard to fit into a prefabricated world, Rest in Peace Sinead you will be sadly missed and thanks for your wonderful contribution to music and humanity
Gosh what a huge loss after she passed away. She was so wicked smart. Her own life was horrific but she found it in her to bless us with her unbelievable talent. God bless you Sinead 🙏❤️
I have mad respect for this woman. Thank you Penguin for bringing this message and incredible artist x
Even though she was self-deprecating about her looks, particularly in her last years…the fact is she was just as gorgeous in her final days as she was in 1987. She was incredibly physically and spiritually beautiful her whole life.
I fully agree with, she had this aura in her persona.
I was just in Dublin a month back. I heard "Mandinka" in a Carroll's store whilst looking for souvenirs for my family back in Texas. Whenever we think of not just great Irish artists but artists we will undoubtedly remember her name.
People forgetting how highly intelligent she was aswell as talented she was beautiful in her day aswell legend RIP Sinead one of the realest
She's still beautiful in my eyes.❤
The world needed you, Sinead. Thank you for all you gave, and may you rest in peace.
Sinead knows what's up.
Always has. She's real and raw.
Ppl (most) can't handle real and raw.
Thus the ridicule.
This woman is an incredible musician, beautiful human, and a shining light for this fd up world. I LOVE HER. ALWAYS WILL. 🙏❤
She was just absolutely incredible
What I love about her is.....unlike other artists who pile on makeup and sexual clothing, what they are doing is covering up who and what they really are, their true self/soul, so all you see is
a piece of what this world wants you to see.....what the world makes you look like is not your true self!
Oh my heart. Rest in power, dear teacher. May the Divine Beloved shine upon her, and through her, always.
She was always so *present*. I love her ❤
Just love this woman for being so raw n pure .
No one sings like this woman. Voice of an angel. Every time I hear her sing I get shivers down my pine. So glad to see she's doing okay after suffering so much. Give us a new album Sinnead.
RIP
I wish i could tell Sinead face to face how much i respect her, her talent. I can't wait to read her book.
Touche, your name is awesome
I'm reading it right now
Me to brother , this is a very special soul in sinead o'connor.
🙏🙏🙏
same and wasn’t aware of book thanks
She was one of those people that said exactly what was on your mind. She didn't have to , but she did it anyway. Its a lonely road to tread and she suffered for it.
Sinead...you are THE proof that women can be beautiful and powerful themselves away from makeup and commercial acceptance. Thank you for being a person more than an icon
Are you out of your freaking MIND??
Yeah thank you for joining ideology that abuses mistreated women makes them value of animal (poor baby Aishas etc, a women is value as of 2 men) suuuure
@@genxer6928 I think you mean it the other way around - Isalam counts two women as the same value as one man! (I.e. a woman is worth only half as much as a man.)
@@judylloyd7901Why are you talking nonsense if you don't know? And you're spreading this nonsense! In Islam, the testimony of one man and two women concerns only one case! Otherwise, a male witness and a female witness are enough! The presence of two female witnesses is also explained!
Love her so much! Her strength, her resilience, her soul, her beauty. I'm glad she took charge of her narrative by writing this book. ♡
What happens in Sinéad stays in Sinéad. Her Songs and her voice are brilliant. We should be grateful for her gift. No matter what we read in the media. 😊
whatever the media opposite be true..
until they figure out opposites and opposite the opposites
very prophetic of you
Brilliant, talented, kind, mischievous-she suffered so much and deserved better from this world. Love you, Sinéad. May you experience peace and love in the next world.
Such a beautiful soul. May she Rest In Peace!
This woman has courage, she spoke out about the vile Catholic Church. Indigenous people in Canada need someone like you right now Sinead. I admire you greatly .
I'm a Roman Catholic and love Sinead. She courageously spoke about vile aspects - crimes committed by evil.people who are in every area of society. Church i s far from vile.
She won't speak out on the horrors of Islam though
@@blackniall8509 For example?
Courage to speak against Catholic Church hahaha? Every moron brainwash by Mason propaganda is shitting on it constantly. Courage nowadays is to stand against mainstream and defend Christiany
@@blackniall8509 What still no answer after all this time, come on. Oh ,so you just pull some remark out of the blue, back it up ,teach us.
Sinéad continues to be one of our greatest intellects. When the dust settles, as it always does, her contribution to music and our hearts will remain. She's as important to us as Van et al musically and as Markievicz culturally.
Sadly the dust is now settling, and indeed your comment couldn’t be more true. Vale Sinead and thank you.
@@batubop651 🙏 her funeral is today… RIP. We’ll miss her 🙏
Sinéad O'Connor was a perceptive, beautiful singer, with rare authenticity-- blessings in her memory. Blessings and love in her memory.
Sinéad was one if my idols when i was a teenager back in the 90s. I loved her voice, her music and her ideas. I wasn't agreeing with some of them then, but I deeply admired how she just said what she thought, did what she willed no matter what. How she stood up against all the onslaught for decades, how she always rose from the ashes of her hard life will always be a life example for me. I'll miss her presence, her new music to come. Be always blessed, Sinéad🙏
This woman is very talented. She doesn't mince words and always tells the truth. She has all of my respect ❤️
Its great to see shes doing well in her life and that she's passionate. However, truth is not always a fixed statement. You say she always tells the truth, however, its really just her truth. When we talk beliefs , truth is subjective. I feel her statement concerning ppl with big hair and synthesised music not having depth ( paraphrasing) shows a lack of openess and prejudice. Personally, i dislike country music, yet id never state it lacks credibility or depth. The 80's produced some incredibly powerful music. It certainly wasn't all shallow pop. For whatever reason, Sinead wears her demons ( figuratively speaking) close to the surface and sweeping statements about her dislikes should never be interpreted as wisdom from a sage..I sincerely wish her all happiness and health.
Despite my comment, I will say, I believe her to be a trail blazer and gifted performer.
@@777ren she is a Virgo after all.
@@paolocoletti1574 Deep!🙄
@@caroldonaldson5936 much deeper than you can sense.
@@paolocoletti1574 Hardly!
What a lovely person-natural and down to earth. Why did we let her go?
Sinead, you will always be in my heart! Rest In Peace my dear.
When you live in a crazy world and describe the craziness, people will think you’re crazy.
Read the book, loved it. A woman who has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Love her voice and totally respect her. They say she's mad cos she followed her own path, not the one that "the industry" set out for her. Sinead, you are a strong woman, a survivor and keep on doing what you do xXx
@Vakond Simple You are crazy. Sinead is a genius.
@Noname Atall I cant believe anyone would hump that!
I'm proud to have been a lifelong fan of Sinead. Not just her music but for being a great person with the ability to tell the truth in the name of craziness, even when she knew it would isolate her. A true 🇮🇪 artist x
One of my personal heros... History is made by the bold, not the weak... Thank you for always being a bold woman...
The more I listen to Sinead, the more I’m fascinated with her and really wish I could have met her. I’m guessing that my late father would have wanted to also. It’s really sad that’s she’s not hear, but I hope that’s she’s at peace now, somewhere in the great unknown.
She is so real, I love her
This woman has "ALWAYS", spoken truth!
And even though her age reminds me of my own aging, she is more than just an old voice, but a true voice, for all those who have no voice! Thank you my kindred spirit!
Shes a straight talker, she take no prisoners
Listening to her talk is truly captivating and the fact that we will never hear her speak again is devastating. We need her in the future, we need her now, but she's gone 💔 But she is in a better place.
“A presence which responds to the human voice “ ❤❤
What a woman?
What a personality ?
What a heart and kindness she got ?👍😍💓
I wish the world had treated her better. She was so smart. ❤
You are valued, loved, and appreciated, and always will be.
I used to like this lady when I was young and I still do now even more so. She has so much empathy for the underdog. She will always be on the right side of history. May Allah reward her and raise her in rank and give her a high place in jannatul firdose.
Ameen, jazak Allah kair
Aamiin allohuma aamiin..
Always been on the right side of history? That's some cult like thinking 😂
She follows are religion that says a women's brain is 1/4 the size of a man's
Maybe you agree with her
@@blackniall8509 she doesn't follow Christianity anymore. So she doesn't think that womens brain is 1/4 mens
@@MCXM111
Well known Saudi Imans preach this
So many any priest that does this?
I'm not pro Christian but don't act like Islam isn't a sexist homophobic brutal ideology
As brilliant of a voice and singer SINEAD is, she is equally as profound in her perspective of humanity.
She thinks a women's brain is 1/4 the size of a man's
@@blackniall8509 what the fuck??
@@poppybell8217
Its what her cult teaches
@@blackniall8509 ok. I’m surprised that you didn’t tell me...what’s the NAME of this cult??
@@poppybell8217
Islam?
♥️ I always revisit this video. Rest in peace Sinead 🕊️ x
This is one of the most honest and truth women alive. Sinead tells it how it is. Respect does not come close to how I feel for you. You are an angel on this earth. To sit and have some time to just enjoy your company and your words.
An absolutely brilliant , authentic artist
Wonderful, what really struck me was when she is speaking about Irish musicians being underrated or not included in the pantheon, she mentioned Van Morrison, as one of the most important if not the most important, I kept thinking ‘what a beautiful groundbreaking; haunting and exceptionally talented vocalist / lyricist you were in the 80s.
I didn't know Sinead so much before she past away, but since then I'm obsessed. Listening to her songs almost daily, reading her autobiography, watching documentaries and these little videos of her. You gained a fan lady, I have to say I even kinda love you, but just a bit too late 😅😊❤
not too late, there are people who love Tolstoy, Mozart, Elvis...
Good to see Sinéad looking well.
And as impassioned, badass and brilliant as ever
You think she looks well? I’d hate to see your idea of a person looking ill.
Looking like a welly boot.
Dude....no
I suspect Irony!
An amazing lady. Inspirational. We are all the poorer for her loss.
I think she never found her place in this world...she was always looking for strenght and peace ...her peace and she only found loneliness...hope she will find in heaven what she was looking for on earth...RIP ONE OF THE GREATEST
She always speaks honestly
She's singular and amazing and wish her all the best in the world.
Best interview I've seen in years.
I have such a deep respect for this woman. Wishing her peace and happiness for all she’s done to help humanity.
Book is simply the best, I couldn't put it down because Sinead is interested in the truth and it shines forth X
Would love more podcasts from Sinead sounds so interesting.
@@msnanodancer cool 🙏
She could even produce her own podcast/videocast. That would be awesome.
Oh hell yes I love listening to Sinéad O’Connor speak. Speaks her damn mind without a care what people think when they judge, and so much wisdom. Not to mention she’s always getting a chuckle out of me ♡🎶🤘🏻
well they bound to judge either way so..
I heard about this John Lennon thing 25yrs ago !! I believe sinead O’connor more than any media
How I miss her soooooo much..I like her music since her 1st album in 1987. I was 15. She was one of the first female artist (with Kate Bush) I liked. I have all her albums..very hard to listen now..I’m really sad to think that i’ll never see her on stage again. I supported her when à lot of people spit on her. I knew she was right, she was herself that’s why I liked her. ❤️💔
I feel so shit that she suffered greatly, I do, so I know how she felt for a long time, thinking so much about everything is a curse. Sinead was such a special person it does indeed hurt to have lost her, that she left the earth this way. It hurts very, very much. I hope you can shine your light on the earth once more, Sinead.
The society, Is horrible cruel.I love her.
She is simply different.
Like the songs says: Nothing compares with you (her).She has a beautiful voice and sensibility.
Such an interesting woman. Can't wait to read the book.
yeah shes a legend with an incredibly creative mind
I got it on audibe last Sunday and listened to the whole lot straight through. It's brilliant. Can't recommend it highly enough. 🙂
@@melaniemoulton9694 what's the book called? I want to go buy it right now
@@DetroitFettyghost 'rememberings' and it's brilliant 🙏💚🎶
@@janewright2800 Thank you so much. I'm going to go order it right now thank u thank u !!
Rip...she was so wise at a young age, sweet and a breath of fresh air, full of truth and integrity. She will be missed.❤
God BLESS & PROTECT YOU dear Sinéad.
I love this woman so much. Millions of reasons. ❤️
ive been listening to some of her music and knowing what i know now , it hits so differently. Im so gonna buy her autobiography now. RIP Sinead
One of the most, if not the most, candid, intelligent, honest, sincere, straighforward, heart-felt, direct, astounding, impressive INTERVIEWS I have ever seen in my whole life.
Of course I knew her Music but this video makes me like her as a person!
Im so pissed that shes passed on . She had so much more to contribute.
God Bless Sinead O'Connor. I love you for everthing you are, what you've done...you are pure light in a very dark world.
Love Sinead since 1987, have quite a few of her early albums. Plus we same ages I think and she was someone I could relate to growing up. Bought her last book and will definitely be buying this one. Love the parallels with John Lennon and ‘the day the music died’ as his death forced music to be dumbed down for a time. I remember being at school when Lennon was shot, it changed the world that day.
Sinead is so important for us all. She talkes the talk, always interesting and gives insight in answers to small and big questions.
Muy inteligente, sensible y honesta, se expresa con tanta claridad que es sublime escucharla, creo que las personas como ella son muy pocas en el mundo. Sin duda, eso es lo que atemoriza a la gente que la minimiza diciendo algo tan ofensivo como "loca", es una forma de escape de quien no está a la altura de sostener una entrevista con ella. En mi opinión Sinéad es GRANDIOSA como artista y como persona.
What a brilliant mind.
Sinéad is to be cherished.
She was a brilliant woman who changed my life. She taught me to rage against the things that Were hurting me and to fight for what I knew was right. I became the woman I am so to her beautiful music and opinions.
Still can't believe she's gone. In my heart, her music is alive. Her music healed me.
run now, get the book it's brilliant . you will laugh, you will cry and you will feel all the feels in between
Sinead i heard ur interview wid dr phill. I cried n prayed for u. Always believe here in pakistan one woman love n respct u n pray for ur eternal peace.
I think Sinead is one of the most intelligent song-writers we have had
That was very profound and enlightening.
