Sinead O'connor !

Hi everyone !

I am a Sinead O'Connor fan ! I would like to talk with other fans or everybody who has an opinion about her music and songs ! Please, reply as soon as possible ! Thanks.

Her music has gotten a lot better, now that she's not so pissed off at the entire world.

I only like her music and don't care about her relations to the entire world ! I think that she is really talented and she explored different fields of music with talent !

I have seen her live only once in my life, the concert was fantastic but many people came in the front of the audience to push, jump and make trouble to the others because they thought her music was rough (punk style !). To their surprise and disappointement, her music was mostly Celtic, joyful and very touching, moving ! After three songs all the trouble-makers left and the fans loved her gig ! Great gig !

I loved the "pissed-off" stuff! Daddy I'm fine is and will remain one of my favourite songs of all time!

Daddy I'm fine is a really incredible song ! Words.... especially words and the music too.

I had the good fortune to see Sinead at a small theater in Portland, Oregon USA in 1990. I just happened to be in town and I saw the marque advertising her show. On a lark I asked if they had any tickets left. As I was by myself I ended up with a second row seat. Wow, what a great expierience.

My friends in Ireland don't seem to appreciate her, but I guess that kind of voice is a dime a dozen over there. Thanks for starting this topic.

she's not really doing folk stuff, but I liked her cooperation with the chieftains alot, she's got an incredibly strong voice ...
Daddy I'm fine is just such a cool song...


did she have hair then? When she's actually got hair sometimes incredibly handsome as well..

When I saw her live in Switzerland, she had hair, not very long ! And she was really handsome. I was amazed because on stage she looked very shy and not very at ease. The image she got from the press is so different from what she was that day on stage. I could not believe it.

I have read somewhere that Sinead has recently stopped her career ! Does anyone know more about this piece of bad news ?

This is what was posted at her website:

This is a message from sinead. This being a very special anniversary for me, I have chosen it to announce that as of July 2003 I shall be retiring from the music business. In order to pursue a different career.
The last recordings I will make will be (believe it or not) a track for Dolly Parton's upcoming tribute album and a track for sharon Shannon's forthcoming album. These will be recorded in May.
In July I will be releasing a DVD of a live show and documentary featuring tracks from way back along with tracks fom Sean Nos Nua. The DVD will be entitled "Goodnight, thankyou. You've been a lovely audience."
And so ye have.
I wish here to thank everyone who has been a fan and or supporter of mine over the last twenty two years in the music business (first record at 14, deal at 17. Half o first album wrote when 15). As well as all the people whom I have had the honour of working with. Not least the great Dolly Parton herself!
Thanks to all of ye for a great time and a great education.
I would request that as of July, since I seek no longer to be a "famous" person, and instead I wish to live a "normal" life, could people please afford me my privacy. By which I mean I would like not to have exploition of my self or my name or anyone connected with me by newspapers.
I also mean that (with love) I want to be like any other person in the street and not have people say there is Sinead O'Connor. As I am a very shy person, believe it or not. So I ask with love, that I be left in peace and privacy by people who love my records too. And I hope it doesnt sound rude. It aint meant rude. I am glad that ye are helped by my songs. So help me too, by giving me what is best for me, a private life.
My advise to anyone who ever admires a so called "celebrity" if u see them in the street, dont even look at them. If u love them, then the lovingest thing u can do to show them so is leave them alone and don't stare at them! Or bang on restauraunt windows when they in there. Or make them get their picture taken, or write their names on bits of paper. That's pieces of them.
And one day they wake up with nothing left of themselves to give.
Love, peace, and don't 4get to pray y'all.
Sinead


Sad for us, but I can see where she would never get any peace as a "celebrity"


We will miss you.

That's a pity ! Her last album is wonderful !

Even if it as a collection of old and rare songs, Sinead O'Connor's last CD is excellent.

The title is : "She who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" !

And there are two CDs for the price of one !

I only heard "Nothing compares 2 U"
but the major surprise to me is...she shaved bald!
till I got Tears of Stone
her "Factory girl" often makes me cry
how good she sounds!!!
