@@billlozier5551 A genius, and definitely known for her music way beyond whatever your ignorant ass knows. What have you done? Oh, I guess you go to church or whatever.
I've always felt that as soon as Sinead walked on to any stage for an interview she was set up from the start. In British and Irish culture when you're asked "are you ok?" There's only one correct answer which is "yes I'm fine" anything else and you're deemed weird or inappropriate. Sinead would give you the god damn honest truth to whatever you ask her and I think the media knew this and loved to portray her as mentally unwell in any social standing. You were an absolute goddess and a great proponent of "it's ok to not be ok" Everyone should speak their truth no matter how others may perceive it. Love always xxx
Best comment. It is a loaded question to ask and frankly if anyone answered ‘no I’m not ok’ they’d be on front page news. It’s ok not to be ok and it’s even better to be goddamn truthful and have truthful human beings on our TVs, not robots. Vale Sinead!
@@MkolcroAbsolutely. It's been so difficult seeing my mum keep replying: "I'm fine". It's so obvious she is not. I wish she had the trust in me to be honest I'd be there for her. I don't know how to have a meaningful relationship with someone who can't be honest with me. Love is tricky.
1:46 as a person with Bipolar my heart sinks when somebody condescendingly asks me that question. Sinead responded with dignity and sincerity and her performance was so good that it made me cry. So many of us are written off as useless. Its a mood disorder. She is not fucking stupid. Far from it. Well done Sinead! keep walking the thin line. The world is better for you being here.
As a Gemini, being asked, "How are you and so forth," is deeply troubling. Small talk, being asked such questions from someone who is insincere, toxic, nosey, pestering, doesn't go well with a Gemini. Either you give two shits or don't bother asking at all for your own personal sick gains.
He wasnt condescending he asked her how are you in a concerned way because she has literally been off the rails ... if you go off the rails and do stuff like try to kill yourself people will forever want to know how you are. Nobody is condescending to ask you how you are. If you kept getting cancer and somone asks how are you because they know youve not been well thats not condescending and its very honest. To pretend like nothing is wrong and theres nothing to ask about would be pretty bloody weird like ooh dont mention her health. Dont ask the normal question everyone asks everyone when they meet anyone at any time of day are night whether they know them or not? That would be weird. How are you is a perfectly normala thing to say to someone. Its her who made it weird and awkward because shes self conscious about it and id guess its you whos self conscious about it that makes you think theres something condescending in it. Literally everyone says how are to everyone as the first thing they say to a person in ireland. How are you. Totally normal. Its only because you are awkward about it that its awkward. She could have just said im excited to be here ..im nervous about my new album...im unconfrotable in this get up ive poured myself into....or just im grand graham how are you. Like a normal person would😂
She essentially answered saying 'how do I answer that? By saying I'm fine? I'm ok? When I'm not? Not a large part of the time? That would be a lie wouldn't it?' It's small talk stuff. Hard to answer truthfully and honestly when people only want to hear that you are ok. Not everyone has the time or headspace for other people's problems and crisis and worries and stresses. And I get it. It's just that that question comes off as probing or insincere for people who don't wish to hide it. And to ask it in front of cameras and a live audience must magnify that feeling.
I love Sinead because, not only is she an extremely gifted talent, she's an absolutely authentic, no bullshit artist that's stayed true to herself in a completely disingenuous, absolute bullshit industry. Most artists wouldn't have called Graham Norton on his bullshit. They'd have politely looked at the cover of that empty CD case and let it go on the hopes for further bookings on the show. Not Sinead, she ripped into that sucker as if ripping the pope's picture decades ago and called out his bullshit. I love her for that. It's not Sinead that's "crazy," it's the industry she's working in. It's "crazy" to say you bought a CD when you didn't buy it. It's "crazy" to ask someone about their mental health when they've appeared on your show, per your invite, to perform and promote their CD. That shit is what's crazy. Sinead kicks ass in this Ringling Bros. circus of a world and takes no prisoners.
Whole new meaning now with the devastating news of her loss. The world did not appreciate her talent and minimized her contributions. May she be at peace finally and her remaining children carry on as best they can without her.
Watched this today, love Graham Norton usually but this one fell flat, I’m sure it came from a good place but I don’t think there was any need to ask her that. She held herself well.
+Robetr MacDuffie Thanks sweetie I am doing ok I am bright enough. Troll? Idiots throw that word around when they don't like something someone is saying it seems. Weird. Keep calling your wife "Muppet" or whatever. I am sure it's fine with her bub. You really got upset though. Hmm. Go take a walk and breathe hon.
I doubt she really wanted to die, having survived and having gone through so much. She had plans for a new album, a possible film related to "Rememberings" and had just moved to London. RIP
The beginning of the interview you could see the real her, nice and relaxed. As soon as he asked how she was feeling you could see her visibly change and think "oh here we go again..."
Graham should have known that "How are you? Are you ok?" would not be met with the usual, superficial response, but with honesty and sincerity from Sinéad. (😢 My goodness, I'm still grieving. )
She was decades ahead of her time. The pendulum has finally swung in the other direction. Everything that she helped fight to change has happened. Her line "Fight the real enemy". Is so powerful and so true. Fight the real enemies wherever they may be.
I hope Graham N reflects on this interview. I know they liked each other, but it felt disrespectful from beginning to end. She was a truth teller. 100% genuine. I love Graham N, but this was bad taste, and she was right to call out the question.
Not wrong it was very amateur of him the glumsy way he went about that. set the tone fron the start. Should of known better. Didn't need to be nervous round her. Im fan of Graham but this was uncomfortable
I fell in love with Sinead very early on. She was doing an interview and someone started making fun of Kylie and her style of pop. Sinead ripped him apart. She was defending someone that wasn't there but being bullied. What a star, and on a very shallow level , she was one of the most beautiful women on the planet with that cropped hair.😊
She was so authentic, I seen through all the bullshit in the industry from day one. She exposed the Catholic church 30 years ago knowing it was get her slated but she knew saving kids was more important. A class act with a heart of gold. 🙏
Shame she never spoke out against the other religions that were every bit as bad if not worse, attention seeker proving she was nothing but a hypocrite.
Bull. She was a hot mess. Talented, gifted and beautiful. She made bad choices and used her past as an excuse to go down a toxic path and paint every Christian as evil. She chose a faith that celebrates death and destruction unless you submit to it, but we're all supposed to canonize this woman because she had unbelievable talent and now is gone.
@hazeltyler89 I could not agree with you more. My goodness people comments are astonishing. The woman was dazed and confused She left the Christian Catholic religion for, ..drum beat, Islam! Wtf . This woman hated herself. She never NEVER endorsed Christian living or Jesus Christ. She was a lost lady. Shaved head, tats across her body, but hey, had a hit sing. Excuse me!
@@billlozier5551 I know her religious ups and down was a bit crazy,and I know she was hurting inside. The tattoos I don't really care about. I was just happy with her with what she said about the abuse in the church system.👍
I have suffered from depression, anxiety, phobias and OCD from a traumatic childhood. People mistreated me and I feel that they treat Sinead that way! You're a beautiful example and inspiration lives on. It's a struggle to be authentic in this world where most people aren't. I am so happy that I am healing today and I feel with all my heart for her suffering and honesty. She brought to light injustices. Her courage empowers all of us who are listening.
My heart ached for Sinead when she said she’s tired of being treated like a crazy person and Graham’s sanctimonious smirk and faux concern. Going to miss this special woman 🌹
I didn't notice a sanctimonious smirk or faux concern from Graham, to be honest. But yeah, that question was so awkward and amateur. He could've asked a much better one in "checking in" with her.
@@realpoetics I never noticed, she was younger then and so was I, I was more agog at her face and voice, also a woman shaving her head back then was very different, but she got away with it because of her beautiful un made up face.

Sinead making a mockery of TV world in her own inimitable style. I've been fascinated by this woman since I first clapped eyes on her... She speaks, or sings... and she's got you forever. She's a force of nature... a delicate flower... And I love her to bits.
Authenticity is labelled crazy in this capitalist patriarchal world. We owe a debt to Sinead for kicking the door down at her own cost. Tremendous person.
@@michellecorr630 how do you know that? And what ideology am I clinging to? I never stated an ideological position. Pray enlighten me … go ahead … make my day … do u feel lucky?!
@@tenoroyal So if someone has an opinion on something that differs to yours and they feel so passionate about it that makes them mentally unstable? Is that what your implying? No you need to get a grip, you might be very suprised to learn that she was indeed correct on alot of her arguments as the church has faced a lot of investigations of child abuse and many other acts since her initial stunt on the SNL show back in the 90’s. Just accept the woman had her own views wether you agree with it or not and have some god damn respect you IDIOT
Growing up in Liverpool as a Catholic I can only imagine the treatment she suffered at the hands of the nuns supposedly looking after her. In my grammar school we often had nuns come in to teach. They were sadistic , always taking any physical punishment further than any other teachers. One boy got caned for walking gum onto the church's marble floor.
I never thought much about Sinead O Conner but when she died I saw a video of her singing "Danny Boy" (1993) on an Irish show and was blown away by it.
"Are you all right?" as an opening question on a chat show is really quite daft when you think about, especially when it's been asked so many times to this person.
Her interview reflects her authenticity and brave honesty, qualities that made her a true legend. When I think of her, I can't help but say, "She's so real and authentic!" Her legacy will live on in each of her powerful songs and the inspiration she left in all of us to stay true to who we are. 🕊🌹
It's called being a human being and having an actual personality, that is not constantly being conformed by media and fans. She just acts like herself. Real, awkward, passionate, nervous, chatty, funny, strange..that's just part of who she is, accept her or don't, she clearly doesn't care. She must be "crazy" for not caring about how every damn person sees her. Jeeze
I agree with you Vulpinegirl,; she is a real person with feelings. And, she turns those feelings into music and she will always receive accolades from the people who went through her darkest days that stuck with her to see her rise again. I love her and all that she means.
Sinead O'Connor one of the best talents in the world, her personal life should not be brought up at every opportunity she has struggled so much in life and given so much freely, though not an irishman myself i am proud to live just across the pond in liverpool where we often saw her perform great all round lass !
She was ahead of us in Ireland. As Catholics it was hard for some to come to terms with paedophilia. She felt it and said it as it was. We should have listened and understood.
She was fantastic here- authentic, no bullshit, and funny! Despite her struggles. I loved seeing joking and laughing and calling everyone out. She was too good for this world💔
"There isn't even one in it!" (1:22). Love that griin on her face. Like.."gotcha!" It was going great and everyone was having fun and relaxing until the "are you all right? because people have read all these things..." I wish he had read the room and realized they were on a good and happy roll. I get why he asked it, but I agree with those who have said it's a better question asked in private when you're talking to someone who has not been all right and is sensitive about it. He didn't mean harm, but it's hard to watch. She reacts and then even seems to want to bail him out with reaching out and then claiming how nervous she is and is better understood as a singer. She is lovely in this moment and I think calling him out on it was ingrained because she was so used to this happening, and had a standard response she used to advocate for people struggling. I love that woman and miss her being alive.
Sinead has a good track record dealing with the idiotic entertainment media that is obsessed with her foibles and failures. Norton went down the cheap track with his insensitive question. Sinead will always be a beacon of hope to everyone who strives to live as an authentic human being.
She said what she felt and didn't beat around the bush so to speak. She was someone who felt deeply and passionately, especially through her beautiful music. RIP dear Sinead!
Sinead wasn't crazy or crazed. She was honest living in a world that doesn't know how to handle the truth. I used to watch and enjoy the Graham Norton show but here I sense awkward humour. He can't handle her honesty and being called out as he quickly gets rid of her by telling to go and sing. His tone was far from neutral and then the fake cd...how do you respond to that seemingly caring question, i mean where do you begin? She just went on the show fine, open, in good faith just being herself and he treats her like she is ill. I'm not surprised she is dead.
Ms O'Connor, please don't give a hoot about all the rubbish people send towards you, pure heartfelt emotion is what you do, good or bad, it just means some people in this world have the power to move some people to tears....and I thank you for that
SINEAD your music will touch our souls for generations u have nothing to answer to .Your voice is priceless how many of us Humans cried to your song billions .Nothing compares to you....... love u sister ALOHA FROM HAWAII
She is HUMAN!!! Yeah, she's not a fucking marionette, we are drugged, anesthetized with fame, smiles, posed happiness and the immense amount of fallacies that exist in the world of stardom and fame. With that answer she has made me feel more comfortable than any of the answers from all the supposed stars who come to that show so perfect, dazzling and perfectly dressed
IMO, many in the world did not appreciate her in her time here. I hope and expect that she can see now that we (me included) were wrong to not embrace the wonder and the courage that is the embodiment of Sinead O'Connor. A legend on the horizon from the day she was born. It was a miracle to have shared the earth with her.
Am I the only one appalled at nortons behaviour towards sinead?? Old Cd cover no disk in it and noo apology ..how are you are you alright ????? In that condescending tone..WOW!!!..poor girl she told him anyways. .love you sinead xx
He was let down by his production team, they weren't expecting her to pull the sleeve off but if they'd got the right cover it wouldn't have happened. I think at that point he was embarrassed hence the pathetic question.
norton clearly is trying to make fun of sinead, stupid twat wishes he could lick the queens shite ! fair play to sinead though flew right over her, didnt care :)
All the comments criticising the "how are you?" question whereas I felt "it's the best thing you've done in YEARS" was the worst part. So you think she hasn't done any thing good for a really really long time??!!
The least they could have done is bought the effing cd, the real one. She's right to call em out on their b.s. And right to call him out on the "how are you question". If only people were real and genuine. Vale Sinead ❤
Bless her, she's had a tough time over the years with the media, she is such a beautiful lady and a fantastic singer, if she has had problems over the years, only her and her alone can sort them, i dont think that she should be put under any sort of pressure to answer questions that she is not ready to answer,.
i LOOOOVE this lady. Her voice, AAAAAAND telling us all how fucking sick the Catholic Churches are!!!! She knew she would jeopardize her career and she still did it!!!!!
She handled that SO well and Graham Norton recovered from that so well. Here's how people can have conflict with neither fighting nor hiding. and just sorting it while remaining on good terms!
Was she ahead of her time? Willing to speak out openly and suffer all the blows for it when it was true all along? Only time will tell. We will miss you Sinead.
I think we already know the answer. She is totally and utterly vindicated, and has been for years. Her voice never dampened and her desire for truth and spiritual enlightenment were always in the front of her mind. The music was just the expression of both.
Sinead O'Connor, you talented lovely human being. I still can't believe you are gone. I never thought you were crazy. It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society - Sinead O'Connor, 2021.

Edit: miss her dearly.
@@tenoroyalhow many Catholic priests bishops nuns were pedophiles... hate to here your thoughts on Dave Allen 😂😮😅😮😂😅
@@tenoroyalit’s sad that you weren’t moved enough when researching how to form this opinion, to examine the ideology that you cling to.
@@michellecorr630 how do you know that? And what ideology am I clinging to? I never stated an ideological position. Pray enlighten me … go ahead … make my day … do u feel lucky?!
@@tenoroyal So if someone has an opinion on something that differs to yours and they feel so passionate about it that makes them mentally unstable? Is that what your implying? No you need to get a grip, you might be very suprised to learn that she was indeed correct on alot of her arguments as the church has faced a lot of investigations of child abuse and many other acts since her initial stunt on the SNL show back in the 90’s. Just accept the woman had her own views wether you agree with it or not and have some god damn respect you IDIOT
Growing up in Liverpool as a Catholic I can only imagine the treatment she suffered at the hands of the nuns supposedly looking after her. In my grammar school we often had nuns come in to teach. They were sadistic , always taking any physical punishment further than any other teachers. One boy got caned for walking gum onto the church's marble floor.
Thought she handled that ridiculous question quite well
I never thought much about Sinead O Conner but when she died I saw a video of her singing "Danny Boy" (1993) on an Irish show and was blown away by it.
"Are you all right?" as an opening question on a chat show is really quite daft when you think about, especially when it's been asked so many times to this person.
Luv her. So sorry she is gone. I was in college when I started listening to her music. She was a revolutionary. She is with her son now forever 💙
The hug she and Graham have when she greets him. Whether they knew eachother or not; that was a family love hug.
Yep I know what you mean. And I agree!
Her interview reflects her authenticity and brave honesty, qualities that made her a true legend. When I think of her, I can't help but say, "She's so real and authentic!" Her legacy will live on in each of her powerful songs and the inspiration she left in all of us to stay true to who we are. 🕊🌹
It's called being a human being and having an actual personality, that is not constantly being conformed by media and fans. She just acts like herself. Real, awkward, passionate, nervous, chatty, funny, strange..that's just part of who she is, accept her or don't, she clearly doesn't care. She must be "crazy" for not caring about how every damn person sees her. Jeeze
I agree with you Vulpinegirl,; she is a real person with feelings. And, she turns those feelings into music and she will always receive accolades from the people who went through her darkest days that stuck with her to see her rise again. I love her and all that she means.
Sinead O'Connor one of the best talents in the world, her personal life should not be brought up at every opportunity she has struggled so much in life and given so much freely, though not an irishman myself i am proud to live just across the pond in liverpool where we often saw her perform great all round lass !
She was ahead of us in Ireland. As Catholics it was hard for some to come to terms with paedophilia. She felt it and said it as it was. We should have listened and understood.
What an amazingly Bubbly person she was and all round genuine Human being. So So very sad, she will be greatly missed Bless her 🖤🖤
Saw her around 2015 at the sydney opera house. She sang the house down. What an artist.
She was fantastic here- authentic, no bullshit, and funny! Despite her struggles. I loved seeing joking and laughing and calling everyone out. She was too good for this world💔
I would love to have had a coffee with her, she looks like she was extraordinary company.
I agree: SHE was too good for this world. Thank you @marycalolefsin9717
One of the only times I've ever seen Graham truly fuck up, and I hope he learnt from that experience.
"There isn't even one in it!" (1:22). Love that griin on her face. Like.."gotcha!" It was going great and everyone was having fun and relaxing until the "are you all right? because people have read all these things..." I wish he had read the room and realized they were on a good and happy roll. I get why he asked it, but I agree with those who have said it's a better question asked in private when you're talking to someone who has not been all right and is sensitive about it. He didn't mean harm, but it's hard to watch. She reacts and then even seems to want to bail him out with reaching out and then claiming how nervous she is and is better understood as a singer. She is lovely in this moment and I think calling him out on it was ingrained because she was so used to this happening, and had a standard response she used to advocate for people struggling. I love that woman and miss her being alive.
Sinead is badass in any situation, including the most awkward ones.♥️
Sinead has a good track record dealing with the idiotic entertainment media that is obsessed with her foibles and failures. Norton went down the cheap track with his insensitive question. Sinead will always be a beacon of hope to everyone who strives to live as an authentic human being.
Every word she speaks gives me hope. Sinead is stellar.
She said what she felt and didn't beat around the bush so to speak. She was someone who felt deeply and passionately, especially through her beautiful music. RIP dear Sinead!
Sinead wasn't crazy or crazed. She was honest living in a world that doesn't know how to handle the truth. I used to watch and enjoy the Graham Norton show but here I sense awkward humour. He can't handle her honesty and being called out as he quickly gets rid of her by telling to go and sing. His tone was far from neutral and then the fake cd...how do you respond to that seemingly caring question, i mean where do you begin? She just went on the show fine, open, in good faith just being herself and he treats her like she is ill. I'm not surprised she is dead.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"
Is Graham Norton so dense as to ask "are you alright" in front of a camera instead of in private after the show ? You bet he is.
Well said, from one bipolar/depressive to another. Keep your chin up and your head held high.
Cheers from Texas.
God be good to you Sinead. Rest in peace darling girl.
Lovely , bold and beautiful sinead . Graham norton gets on my flamin nerves . God bless sinead and her family who loved her for who she was .REAL .
Listen to her music and leave her alone - she is a fantastic human being.
YES! Listen to her music. Unfortunately to remain in the public "eye" (not ear), she has to do these screwed up interviews.
peter grahame your a idiot
TheCatfeeesh ren
does not take shit and does not let bullshit get past her. fucking love this woman.
Ms O'Connor, please don't give a hoot about all the rubbish people send towards you, pure heartfelt emotion is what you do, good or bad, it just means some people in this world have the power to move some people to tears....and I thank you for that
SINEAD your music will touch our souls for generations u have nothing to answer to .Your voice is priceless how many of us Humans cried to your song billions .Nothing compares to you....... love u sister ALOHA FROM HAWAII
Sinead was one of the most beautiful women in the world with one of the most amazing voices.
Was?
Graham Norton is the master of light and at the same time appreciating and caring conversation
The girl can sing. FULL STOP. Respect!
She’s so beautiful inside and out ❤️❤️
She is HUMAN!!! Yeah, she's not a fucking marionette, we are drugged, anesthetized with fame, smiles, posed happiness and the immense amount of fallacies that exist in the world of stardom and fame. With that answer she has made me feel more comfortable than any of the answers from all the supposed stars who come to that show so perfect, dazzling and perfectly dressed
IMO, many in the world did not appreciate her in her time here.
I hope and expect that she can see now that we (me included) were wrong to not embrace the wonder and the courage that is the embodiment of Sinead O'Connor.
A legend on the horizon from the day she was born.
It was a miracle to have shared the earth with her.
Sinead is just awesome. her version of The Foggy dew is badass
That was technically quite an inappropriate question from Graham. Good for her for arguing with him. He patronised her
Am I the only one appalled at nortons behaviour towards sinead?? Old Cd cover no disk in it and noo apology ..how are you are you alright ????? In that condescending tone..WOW!!!..poor girl she told him anyways. .love you sinead xx
He was let down by his production team, they weren't expecting her to pull the sleeve off but if they'd got the right cover it wouldn't have happened. I think at that point he was embarrassed hence the pathetic question.
Norton's a loathsome little man.
James Williams Lighten up before you hurt someone
Thanks again
norton clearly is trying to make fun of sinead, stupid twat wishes he could lick the queens shite ! fair play to sinead though flew right over her, didnt care :)
“Are you alright? “ cheap. Bullshit gotcha question. But she was her authentic self despite it. Amazing artist.
She will forever be missed
Our vulnerable, strong and beautiful Sinead. Roisin Dubh.

All the comments criticising the "how are you?" question whereas I felt "it's the best thing you've done in YEARS" was the worst part. So you think she hasn't done any thing good for a really really long time??!!
Feels like one angel amongst a group of demon jackals, right down to the fake CD case. She's with God now, where she should be.
She is just far too authentic...❤
The least they could have done is bought the effing cd, the real one. She's right to call em out on their b.s. And right to call him out on the "how are you question". If only people were real and genuine. Vale Sinead ❤
Yeah showbiz people can be the worst in attacking people in interviews news paper papperazi etc
Discusting
Her ripping off the fake cover to reveal the empty inside is perfectly symbolic of what she's been doing all along
Perfectly said. Thank you.
She was so real!! No BS, thank you very much! I truly hope you are at peace Sinead🙏🙌🏼💖💖💖🎼🎶🎶🎶
Bless her, she's had a tough time over the years with the media, she is such a beautiful lady and a fantastic singer, if she has had problems over the years, only her and her alone can sort them, i dont think that she should be put under any sort of pressure to answer questions that she is not ready to answer,.
One of the most talented female artists of her generation ... Often misunderstood but hey, isn't that the mark of all geniuses?
I just want to hug her and give her the support that she needs.
Glad to see Sinead smiling, and thank you for inspiring other's:::))) Cheer's from Australia
This woman was almost certainly autistic. I love her. I identified with her. I wish I could have met her.
I have being thinking this about her myself, and I too am on the spectrum. It's such a sad and sore loss. 😞
@@curlwhurl8054 😔 Yes
Agree.im autistic and see the traits.
RIP Sinead O’Connor (1966-2023)😢
That’s what you get when you ask “how are you?” to an Angel living in this world among us.❤
i LOOOOVE this lady. Her voice, AAAAAAND telling us all how fucking sick the Catholic Churches are!!!! She knew she would jeopardize her career and she still did it!!!!!
She was so funny, just a joy to watch. May you rest in eternal peace Sinead 😢❤
She was so beautiful, RIP beautiful Sinead.
She is a true humane intelligent legend!!!
I love Daniel he's so charismatic he's more bubbly than Harry potter and usually I prefer the character to the actor but not in this case.
Let that be a lesson to all you plopheads out there.
Man kann diese Frau ,Künstlerin und vor allem diesen Menschen nur lieben ❣️
Ruhe in Frieden !😘
She handled that SO well and Graham Norton recovered from that so well.
Here's how people can have conflict with neither fighting nor hiding. and just sorting it while remaining on good terms!
Was she ahead of her time? Willing to speak out openly and suffer all the blows for it when it was true all along? Only time will tell. We will miss you Sinead.
It is true that a pretty young woman becomes far less pretty without hair. It is also true that cigarettes can destroy a beautiful feminine voice.
@@dawoool Its also true that the catholic church destroys lives and abuses kids.
@@dawoool What a shallow comment.
I think we already know the answer. She is totally and utterly vindicated, and has been for years. Her voice never dampened and her desire for truth and spiritual enlightenment were always in the front of her mind. The music was just the expression of both.
@@M0rket Is it false?
Sinead O'Connor, you talented lovely human being. I still can't believe you are gone. I never thought you were crazy. It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society - Sinead O'Connor, 2021.
Just heard the sad news ... RIP
She here's a great lady in a really great singer goddess bless her.
