Sinead O' Connor is DEAD to me!!

Rest In Peace

R1 that thread format is shit. We’re moving here.

Nooooooo!!!

So ready for all the Yassss Kweeens to act like they were her biggest fans for social media clout

But is she really DEAD to US?

There is no other TROYYYYYYYYYYYY

for you to BURNNNNNNNNNNN

AOOOOWWWWWW

The other thread is dead R1

Moving back to London, got in with old friends again. Probably drugs.

She was vaccinated wasn't she?

Ack! All the flowers in the back yard just died!

She’s finally at peace.

Did her mother really sexually abuse poor Sinead? Did she ever go into detail about that. I find this hard to believe given Sinead seemed mentally unstable

RIP

R13 all the more reason it was true

The mom broke Sinead.

I hope she’s at peace, finally. If there’s any afterlife may she be reunited with her beloved son.

She was active on social media up to a few days ago? How did she die?

Sad to hear. Mental health is such a bitch. Hope she rests easy now.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority here (and the other incorrectly titled thread that has many more replies). I saw the announcement and my first thought was, "huh? I thought she was already dead." I looked carefully at the post looking for a date, thinking it would say 2022 or 2021, but I was wrong.

Between the two DL threads, she's apparently a goddess, so I'll hold my tongue, but wow, I thought she was dead ages ago.

Did you mix her up with Dolores o'Riordan R20?

Similar to when Amy Winehouse (RIP)passed, people were like huh? Didn't she already die.

Dolores o Riordan died???

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, but my Sinead can’t! WHY, WHY, WHY!

Suddenly everyone on social media has been a Sinead fan since they were in the womb

R25 which for most of them means "Oh I heard Nothing Compares 2 U once so I'm a big fan!"

Another chunk of fans probably remember her from her first two albums, maybe her collaboration with the Edge, but think she hasn't made anything else since then.

in 2000 O'Connor and O'Donnell

I wonder if she committed suicide or if it was from addiction problems (don't know if she had any). Family gave no cause of death.

She said on Oprah she was bipolar.

What was on her playlist?

I heard “Haunted” earlier today, her duet with Shane MacGowan. Great song..thought for sure he’d go first.

R3 the other one is much better

The other one is improperly captioned.

the last I heard f her years ago she was living in a motel in Bergen County NJ near the GWB

Her first song, many years ago.....stunning even then

It's so fucking weird that Shane fucking McGowan, the most strung out drunk and addict that ever lived, has outlived both Kirsty MacColl AND Sinead.

🎶🎵 All the flowers that you planted mama In the back yard All died when you went away I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try tune 🎶

Sinead sang the shit out of these few lines . This song takes me back and I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. RIP Sinead.

There’s a hell of a lot of competition going on in terms of “No, I’m the one who really understood her” when you check out the celeb In Memoriams on social media.

We’re hearing ‘genius’ and other kinds of hyperbole in the obits but she could sometimes really take the piss with her songwriting - this one makes kumbaya sound sophisticated. Can you imagine how piss-easy it must have been to write?

[Quote] Can you imagine how piss-easy it must have been to write?

Depends which substance cowrote it

she lived considerably longer than Janis, Jimmie, Jim, Elvis. Amy . . .

Thank You For Hearing Me is a beautiful song.

I generally think Morrissey is a insufferable cunt but he isn't wrong here.

My favorite Sinéad songs:

1. Mandinka

2. Fire on Babylon

3. Troy

4. I Want Your Hands On Me

5. Jump in the River

6. Thief of Your Heart

7. Heroine

8. Emperor’s New Clothes

9. I Am Stretched On Your Grave

10. Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home

she lived a long time

My favorite Sinéad songs:

1. Troy

2. Fire on Babylon

3. Mandinka

4. Heroine

5. Last Day of Our Acquaintance

6. Take Off Your Shoes

7. No Man's Woman

8. Queen of Denmark

9. Petit Poulet

10. I Want Your (Hands On Me)

Stunning song from a later album......she still had the gift.

Faith and Courage is a bit poppy but in some ways is my favorite to listen to beginning to end.

The police say her death is not suspicious. No shit! It was belated.

R42 One of Morrissey’s problems is what a useless prose stylist he is. It’s just unreadable - marked by the most juvenile ideas about writing, including that alliteration for its own sake (“fawning fops”) is a clever rhetorical device.

She lived.

She took up space.

She was bald.

I am

STRETCHED

on her

GRAVE!

Karen Finley, who unleashed a memorable - and truly twisted - spoken word rant on the remix of "Jump in the River," had this to say:

[quote] Sinead O’Connor. You are with the angels now. You gave so much with your voice and bringing awareness to so many issues. I was blessed to have collaborated and spend time with Sinead many moons ago. She was brilliant, astute, a staunch feminist, spiritual, humorous, feisty, vulnerable, and generous. And political! Thank you Sinead all that you gave me. All my love to her many friends, fans and family.

If you have not had the, um, pleasure of hearing Karen Finley on this Sinead track, here you go. The insanity starts at around 4:15, when Finley starts making ungodly noises....

If I could have asked Sinead to do one thing, it would have been to work on her phrasing. There are phrases in every song that should never be interrupted by a breath. It’s sloppy. For example, here: “Sleep in [in-breath] heavenly peace”. No!
