Sinead did a very brave thing. I didn't really get it back then I was in high school but now I realize what it was about nothing but respect. Way ahead of her time. She stood up and was speaking out way before the "me too" movement. Big ups to you Sinead.
Thankful and Grateful ...she was exactly at the right time. I remember those days we'll. she was on the radio many times a day. her music fit in with all the other music too. great music on the radio then. not anymore. zero good music on the radio. and Me2 movement made me realise I'm not a femenist. it ruined it. it's too suffocating !!!!! it's too hysterical. !!!
I agree. I was also young and Catholic when she did that and was confused. Now I think she is so brilliant and brave. She has been spot on with all her interviews and opinions.
At that time abuse in the catholic (Irish) church and other catholic institutions was not yet widely known at all. It was known among the abusedof course, and all the silent witnesses. Not being a catholic, I still went to a catholic school a couple of years in the late 1970s (not in Ireland). I learned from the catholic kids about the (sexual) abuse in their church. They talked casually about it, as if it was "accepted as a regular wellknown thing. At another Christian school I went to in the late 1960s, for " naughty" kids, it was "normal" to be beaten or kicked by 2 male teachers. One of them liked to touch pretty, sweet, angelic little blond girls. indecently.
اللّهم ارحمها و اغفر لها و اعفُ عنها و أكرمها بمأوى في الفردوس الأعلى .. آمين ...آمين
It is one thing to expose injustice and I praise her for brinigng into public conversation about the child abuse in Catholic Church that no one wanted to talk about back then. I also like that she remained a seeker of God and didn't merely bash Christianity, but she obviously had mental issues not too different from young "social warrior" LGBT promoting pop celebrities like Miley, Demi and Jojo Siwa.
She is so sharp and out spoken. Very strong woman.
Maimuna Idiot
Omg we have the same profile pic!!!
She is a very sharp woman with very good points. I can't believe she is gone
Sinead will be always remembered as an iconic and powerful artist with the sweetest smile ever.
RIP.
I was 34 when I saw Sinead rip up the picture of the pope on Saturday night live. I thought it was great.
I’m a 62 -year-old male and Sinead O’Connor is still my hero.
I was 11 when she did that. She was trying to tell us what the Irish new for almost a decade.
Old woman, get back to Church.
@LMFAOASNThanks. I grew up Catholic and saw the problems. Sinead was brilliant for exposing this.
I saw it at the time and rolled my eyes ,as did many Irish people, at this "attention seeking" stunt. Pope John Paul was very popular and he was the pope of many of.our childhoods,including Sinead BUT now haven grown up and realised that there are very few people out there who are willing to 'get involved' when there's something not right and an even tinier amount who are willing to be the lamb to the slaughter for it. So RESPECT to her.!
@genevievegenevieve5205 why would any rational person do that?
She was spot on!
Well said. She is exactly right. The media acts like its funny and these people are suffering but instead of help they make money off of them.
Sinead O'Connor always surprises me because I expect her to be a radical but she's very much a reasonable, caring conservative. I was never too involved with the Catholic Church to have any resentment about it, so I never thought one way or the other about the SNL thing, but she's right on the mark about how the media exploit mental illness. It almost sounds like she's read Dr. Drew Pinsky's book, "The Mirror Effect," in which Dr. Pinsky addresses this issue in the same way. Good for her.
Bikewithlove drew pinsky is kind of a dolt though
And they wonder why Brittney Spears and these other girls have breakdowns. It’s partly because their like caged animals. They can’t go anywhere without being stalked. Their lives are under a constant microscope. I can’t imagine that. That would drive anyone to insanity. Sinead was speaking up for them. I wish she could have held on because we need more people like her instead he world!
Sinead was ahead of her time...Wayyyyyyyy ahead.
Dee J. Yup
Yes.!!!!!
She also had tatto on her face like a trapper...like posty
Yes, absolutely!
In the drugs and nut job department; I agree. The picture ripping of the Pope sure boosts her career. Nice tatoos especially the initials in red on her cheeks. Lol
RIP eloquent, articulate, steadfast, authentic, talented Sinead O'Connor. Beautiful inside and out. 💔
Sinead explained this so succinct, precise and well informed. Sinead was so intelligent, compassionate and an absolute female icon. Miley Cyrus take note, Sinead was an absolute female icon, she used her intellect, compassion and love for humanity to engage.
Glad she stands by her SNL statement
marishana meyer well said why do people even bother watching and then leaving vile coments?
Polak Roïde is probably a former child predator priest finally kicked out of the Catholic church
Soooo many ppl owe Sinead an apology. She tried to warn us.
RIP Sinead you were a light in the darkness 🙏
notice at the very end she mentions britney... seven years ago... AGAIN this woman knows more than we do.
I'm an Anglican child survivor of abuse now in my 60s thankyou miss oconnor
I’ve never heard anyone more SANE.
I'm a fan. She says what she thinks and she stands up for women and against powers. Well done Sinead.
2020 makes ya realise just how ahead of her time she is, wat an inspirational human being ❤️
Yes indeed. Right from the get go she was more sane than anyone I’ve ever seen.
WOW! There are a lot of men in here really 😠 about a woman speaking out against horrendous abuses against children by monsters in positions of power. Only makes me love her and respect her courage even more. Jesus called out the Roman Empire, so did she. Peace be with you Sinead O'Conner
She was RIGHT!!! It is the finest blades that are most easily blunted, bent, or broken. And thank you for your initial real courage Sinead. Informing the world of factual abuse and atrocities, way before we were prepared to hear it, so forcefully. As an abused child, this warrior refused to roll a blind eye. "Through their own words, they will be exposed!" The truth was more important than career!! STRENGTH & COURAGE! And mental illness doesn't mean someone is "crazy or a loonie." Blessings to all! 🥰
I love her and respect her. Honest, intelligent , wise and beauiful inside and outside. Sinead O Connor you will NEVER be forgotten. I am really devastated about her sudden death. She was a true Human with great empathy and spirituality. So sad to hear about her son s death too... what a tragic life this woman has had , but what a brilliant personality she kept till the end, what a free spirit she was...Amazing creature. What an angel..What a great loss for all of us who loved her..What an end.. If there is ever such thing as an end... R.I.P. Sinead 🙏😢🤍🕊
I respect what she did on SNL
Sinnead was a really, really gorgeous woman, with an extrordinary voice. What a sad day to lose such a person. I feel so sad. 😢😢😢. Rest In Peace dear Sinnead.
1 of a kind. I admire her for always speaking her mind. What an amazing talent
I’m glad she never backed down and give some fake apology like allot of people do
I love Sinead O'Connor. Extremely wise and beautiful
JPammo extremely wise?
fucking junkie
JPammo wrong and hideous. You're a moron.
@@qmax-en5ry your an idiot,theres a famous anecdote about her saving Shane McGowan's life when hes having an overdose in London,she goes to his flat, he had his overdose (shes on no drugs)he starts dying after taking his drugs so she calls 999,they say police or ambulance she says everything, both anything, trying to save his life,so hes taken to hospital and after interviewed by police when he comes around cos Sinead had them all at his flat, saving his life. He then calls her a rat and doesn't speak to her for years, even th6she was panicked calling 999 to save his life. Shows her innocence and excellent good soul,I love that story...and if you don't know who Shane McGowan is...you have no authority to make a comment on Sinead O'Connor ,we are the Irish
@@karmakat8016 the anecdote of one junkie around the other junkie
Sinead was absolutely right when she spoke about how the media stalked and then sensationalized celebrities struggling with their mental health. They continue to do it now. Only a few weeks ago a headline reported an actress had gone back into a mental health treatment centre as she was struggling. The story died quickly which I hope is in part because society has learned more about mental health. Getting medical help is not a sign of weakness but that of understanding your illness and recognizing when you are not doing well. That is called growth, awareness and a desire to stay well. When someone recognizes they need to regroup with professionals who can help, we need to support that person, not shame them.
Think about it, if you were to follow one of these reporters home to their own house and stalk them, think they would very quickly understand mental trauma.
RIP, my sweet Irish rebel.
The Brave One.
Sinead is the most amazing strong, opinionated hero I have.
ditto
Your hero sucks. But I'm guessing so do you. Fukn idiot
Melanie Brandt u suck
She is a deep strong openionated character that few can understand .
I love her
I applaud her for speaking her mind. R.i.p. This society is corrupted and it won't get any better.
Again and again, bravest person I know who speaks things everyone avoids! Respect 👏❤
What an unreal beautyful Sinead was! She was smart and deep person . Her premature departure is an irreparable loss for the world music industry. A sweet gentle Irish elf. Rest in peace. 💔💔💔🍀💐😭🙏
Goodbye stunningly beautiful songbird & fierce advocate for those suffering under various types of abuse. Rest now with the angels 🕊️
Be so proud Sinead! I’m sorry for only hearing about your strength & courage now!
Love listening to her talk
I agree. I misjudged her. Her 1992 album was really good. I just listened to it. I was shocked, I can definitely now see why she was really popular in the 90s. And still on TV after that SNL appearance.
Thankful for every single words she just said
Spot on. Amazing how relevant this is today, with the dialogue about the treatment of Britney.
well i happen to see this woman as a pioneer/ i love her originality/
She has always been in the middle of controversy but i honestly believe that controversy presented itself to her as an obstacle she was determined to overcome/ LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman/ she makes us think and i love the mirror she holds up to us
Such a beautiful soul xx❤️
What a legacy she leaves us✨☀️✨☀️✨☀️✨☀️✨☀️✨☀️✨
THANK YOU Sinead❤️🙏 You lead us❤️❤️
If she had done that on SNL today, she’d be a hero to everyone. She was on point then but the church had the advantage of peoples’ ignorance of the abuse of the Catholic Church then.
رحمها اللّه و أكرمها بمأوى في الفردوس الأعلى ...آمين ...آمين
Sinead O'Connor was always honest in everything spoken by her and that's what matters most of all.
I only just REALLY discovered Sinead and her art and I'm madly in love. She's my new favorite person guys
🙏❤
Brave ❤ from Ireland
I wish I had her courage and bravery to stand alone against an empire committing crimes.
Beautiful lady in and out stay strong stay safe sending love from UK takecare x
She is so ahead of her time she is a amazing woman
Thank You, Sinead
I didn't understand it back then; but, Sinead was right!
Such a an amazing smart woman !I lovel and respect her so much !❤
Sinead was so intelligent and generous of spirit. I hope Miley realizes how badly she responded to Sinead and learns from it.
2021 and she was so right about this. I stand for Sinead!
This woman was my hero!
And 10 years later not much has changed, people tell you to be open about mental illness but in my personal experience be very, very careful who you tell, people will look down on you and use it as a weapon against you, my advice is get a trained councillor (Pay for sessions if you can afford it) and talk about it all with them first, before telling anyone else at all.
I love her for it!
May this amazing artist and sensitive woman Rest in Peace.
When she was young she had the looks and voice to have been a dizzy pop star selling millions of junk records over and over until she bought a castle in Beverly Hills. She never wavered and sold out and died in a modest house in Ireland
I LOVE YOU SINEAD!!!!!! YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!
Great irish legend 🇮🇪🇮🇪
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SHE WAS RIGHT AND WE WERE ALL WRONG, BACK THEN
I think a lot of people knew. But the loudest majority did not.
SHes too smart for the industry. 🙏🏼
That's the first time I have ever seen the actual footage of her tearing the picture of the Pope. I can sense now just like then the power of that action. At that point she was poised to become a mega -superstar. I wonder in hindsight if there was a better way to have addressed it? Maybe in a mainstream album that had themes critical of the church.
Sinead O'Connor was right all along.
Bless Sinead and her family. I hope she has found her peace.🙏💕
I love her music
This is so relevant today she was spot on ❤
She was incredibly intelligent and passionate!!🙏🙌🏼
Well said
This made me cry. We did not appreciate her when she was alive. i blame the media.
I love her so much
I agree with her. It was a sound statement. Catholic Church is the great harlot
i love her . she is amzing
Wow ! Extremely intelligent ❤
Well ahead of time. No one listened but all along she was write
She is wonderful and complex. I wish her peace. Also I have noticed she holds and rubs her chin a lot when talking, esp about deeper or more difficult topics. Maybe it is a self soothing thing....most of us do things like that, just interesting.
HERO
I agree.
If O'Conner had protested the church just five or ten years later (post Bill Clinton) it would have enhanced her success. Struggle on! #metoo
i been fighting this outspoken thing since i was 13.i m 62 now. i guess its the irish in me.i m proud of having irish in my blood.they cant break my spiret.sinead is a very beautiful person for whats in her heart.miley would sell her soul to the devil.she is a tratior.keep up the good fight sinead
class act
And she was RIGHT.....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love Sinead
RIP she was so right. Be at Peace lady.
She simply makes sense
What an amazing soul,Sinead!! All my respect to her and love! True fighter and Miley is so obviously Mind control victim
Sinead O'connor the warrior.
Sinead isn't just a TRUE world class voice and artist.. She's stronger than 99%+ of people walking around... Not sure about Miley Cyrus outside of mental health... Sinead is so fkn incredible.. The Media are scum.. Glad she brought up Amanda Bynes.. This woman is truly a warrior! ANYONE who hasn't listened to Sinead's music... Nobody comes close, and I'm not "nothing compares to you" babies..
She is awesome 🗽
Never really been a a fan of Sinead, not that I've had anything against her.........But WOW, she's gone well up in my estimation. Well done Sinead for saying it as it truly is.
Kudos to her ❤
She has beautiful eyes!
She had every right to make that artistic gesture. light of day shined on the catholic regime and we all know how disgusting it can be regarding child abuse
i hope she lives a long time
😢
Com back in 2021
I firmly believe MC will be affected by SO passing. I think it changed MC, but in her own way. I like and liked BOTH artists.
💚🌻
She tried to protect Britney (and others) way before it was cool to do so.
She was right about the Pope. So many child victims, negatively changed forever.
Sinead is brilliant
I respect Sinead and Kris Kristofferson.
