What`s so "heroic" about her??...Anyone who didn`t already know the Catholic church was full of sadists and perverts 30 years ago must have had their head up ther ass.!!!
Pretty hard to imagine many 24 year olds with that amount of conscience and intelligence. What foresight and what honesty. Respect to Sinead, she's a star
Especially compared to today's young shallow celebrities. Not one of them could hold a conversation like this, being political, sweet, humble, witty and sincere at the same time. She's truly unique. A beautiful soul!
@@Analysis_Paralysis some of them do. But they get pilloried by the "stop talking politics and stay in your lane" brigade who voted for a reality TV star as President before being "cancelled" by the people who endlessly complain about "cancel culture".
Sinead was fearless. A warrior, yet so fragile. This is what humanity and compassion and righteous indignation looks like. Sinead was a fire that burned hard and bright for what she believed in. She will be remembered as such.
Sinead wasn't ''Fearless'' as you put it. She had fear and felt the same way you or I would feel with vultures and sharks snapping at our flesh just trying to get a better bite in to do as much damage as possible. Sinead O'Connor had bravery and guts. She had the cognitive prowess to speak clearly on what is so wrong in the world regarding what we are all spoon fed through media outlets and then the guts to confront it, face it head on, and, with an awful lot to lose. She had spirit, guts and determination because she cared about love, families and disadvantageous people from every place over the globe. RIP sweetheart, I know I will meet you one day in the ether:)
Yes, but so many of these positive comments are only made after she's dead. Too late? Perhaps she could have done with them while she was still alive - they might've help made her life a little easier?
I met Sinead in wilmette Illinois later on in her life . She had put on weight and aged like we all did . I could see her pain 💔 in her gorgeous grey eyes and all that pain she endured lifelong. Many are unaware of the demons that tortured her . She was a beautiful mystical creature that was to fragile for this world yet strong and fierce to protect others . She was wearing a shapless grey dress and stradeling her bike that had a wicker basket full of fliwers and fruits and vegetables. At the farmers market. Unless you knew her like myself she blended in with the scenery. A beautiful fall day in illinois the smell of Halloween and an amazing human being. I will never forget
exactly...and they have her medicated to protect the deception, and depressing holocaust on Nature; prepare for the extinction of humanity. Brought to you by toxic food that grows dead soil, depletes our guts of minerals, destroys our gut bacteria balance, and leads to depression. Hello Dr. Kelly Brogan, MD, Dr. Hyla Cass, MD, Dr. Gabor Mate -- they know how to heal holistically, listen to Dr. Peter Breggin, MD. Stop letting poison replace truth, health, and healing. FUCQ the medication. Eat real local, healthy, whole, organic foods, bodyecology.diet explains a way to heal, well!
Exactly... modern psychology for me is meaningless at all. First It sees herds as a normal people. İf you have a possibility to see sth more than usual then you have a mental issue. Thats bullshit.
However now there are so many ‘celebs’ eager to ply empty words with little action…she was so raw and honest and a light on a dark time. And shite! What a sense of humour!!
I have been reading the old comments on videos today, and they honestly bring me to tears just how beautiful they are, considering the internet can be a very dark place. Love and peace to all reading, we all have a bit of Sinead in out hearts. Now it is up to us what we will do with it.
I’m conservative but I love her, we don’t have to have the same political reviews to love each other - her 1990 performance of “Nothing compares 2 U” was unbelievably emotional and one of the greatest songs in history. RIP Sinead - lovely lady.
@@unknown24242424I have to admit Nothing Compares to You is one of her weakest songs from that time, if you're not aware of her other songs, have a listen! but agree with you otherwise wholeheartedly, such a sad loss❤💔
yes so beautiful - still I never liked that expression - ahead of her time - people say that to me all the time and it just saddens me and I feel like more of an outcast and get confused - like people need to catch up to me? I don't think it's about being ahead of individuals I think it's about seeing a truth and being suppressed by society instead of welcomed. Unfortunately time brings things to justice - but not always - we learn from our mistakes - so let's learn by paying attention to artists and supporting who speak truth instead of being part of suppressing them.
I didn’t understand her when she broke out as a kid but I think you are right. In a way, lady gaga and other ppl try to be non political but universal like this
I am all broken up, Sinead. I am 50 years old and I heard the song "Mandinka" when I was only 14, and then later heard this song on this video. I am Cherokee. My people originated from North Carolina, but I grew up in Washington D.C. It changed my life. You were a HUGE influence on the trajectory I chose to go: That of a bold, outspoken woman, and I, too, have been crucified for it. I am an Indigenous Rights Activist for 36 years and walked across the country until my feet bled into the ground for the American Indian Movement on the Walk Across America in 1992 and then was a National Bernie Sanders Delegate against Donald Trump, and got crucified for being outspoken in America, so I moved to Canada. I know you felt alone and broken and nobody was telling you they loved you. I know that you even went on Dr. Phil b/c you were in crisis and I knew what was in your heart the whole time. You were angel who blessed us all and gave us so much...I will never forget you and I I will NEVER forget the influence you had on me as a teenager. The song on this video is that introduced me to your deeply soulful voice and that, along with "Mandinka" which changed me as a teenager who grew up in a troubled home and abusive and alcoholic home. YOUR SONGS CAME THROUGH ON MY WALKMAN AND ENCOURAGED ME TO LIVE AND SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY. I am broken up that you have passed. My mother died at same age: 56. This will also haunt me forever. The world, as always, especially America, will tell you how much they loved you after the fact. I am grieving hard, for the empath and sensitive, loving and deeply bold and outspoken women you were and for all of the people who put you through hell and they will all come back and regret that you are gone, but they did not tell you in this life how much they loved you. You were so ICONIC in the late eighties when you came out: LION AND THE COBRA! I will never forget when my friend Wendy introduced me to that album. NOTHING COULD EVER COMPARE TO YOU, SINEAD! NOTHING! You are absolutely incredible and were so beautiful. WELL BEHAVED WOMEN RARELY MAKE HISTORY AND YOU, MY FRIEND, WILL GO DOWN AS THE BEST, A LEGEND. THIS INDIGENOUS WARRIOR WOMAN HERE IS CRYING, WISHING YOU WERE BACK, BUT I WILL SEE YOU UP THERE, IN THE CELESTIAL REALMS. I LOVE YOU, R.
Thank you for expressing your thoughts so openly. Like you, Sinead's death has affected me deeply however through her outspokenness she like other brave souls gave me the strength to push back against injustices where and when I saw them, by that we uphold her memory and those like her who have and are fighting against discrimination. You are not alone, and I wish you peace in your soul.
thank you for writing this and loving her so sincerely, holding her in prayer with other people means so much. It's impossible to do anything but want to hold her xx
Exactly people who aren't scared to speak their minds.. Instead of all the fake people who stab you in the back as soon as you turn. She was real and genuine which is very rare.. She was so beautiful too. Those eyes. Woman would die for those big doe eyes. x
There is quite a few of them in the music industry and Hollyweird ….but they are on the wrong side of the spectrum…sitting in their mansions and bitching ….
Dear Sinead, as a 64 year old that was wowed by the first song I ever heard on radio getting ready for work one early morning, Mandinka, you had me hooked. You are a poet, truthteller and a great musical artist. I’m so sorry this fucked up world got the better of you. It’s not fair ❤️❤️
That was a very sweet and beautiful comment. I'm almost 34 and sometimes forget those older than me can have the thoughts and feelings that I do too. I live being able to relate people. ❤️
I've learned a lot about her in the past week. If only more people could be as caring, real and honest as Sinead was. I wish I had watched more interviews like this.
Sinead was ahead of her time and she has ALWAYS been a real one. She was hung out to dry for her beliefs and ultimately, people are just now seeing she was absolutely right. They were so angry with her for daring to call out injustice and division and yes, abuse and pedophilia hiding in religious institutions. Sinead was a queen and people aren’t made of the stuff she was made of. I hope she can finally get some rest and relief. Rest well Sinead.
Well said....but....some of us did know back then exactly what she was saying, and were also shouted down for supporting her. I grew up with her (I'm exactly the same age as her and come from the area she grew up in) and knew precisely what message she was conveying. I don't mean that in a bravado kind of way, just that for every 100 people or so she pissed off she also inspired at least one, like my humble self. And the truth always comes out in the end of course. She will never be forgotten here in Ireland and her work and words will live on eternally like Yeats, Beckett, Synge and Wilde. 💚
Ireland her country turned their back on her even when it came out that all Catholic priests were indeed perverts she said it first but nobody came out and said Sínead was right. Because Ireland didn’t recognise her and her mental health took a turn for the worse . Now everyone is saying she was ahead of her time but why didn’t people say it when she was alive and make her feel better about herself read these comments were was these people when she was alive,.
@@PeterBornAgain I don’t care for most celebrities, but her death has hit me hard. She had so much trauma to overcome, but she still wanted to make a difference. Her childhood was wretched, then losing her son is just too much.
The way she made Arsinio blush 🤭💕 This interview is a gem, what a blessing to see her in this way, and testament to her inner beauty and soundness 🙏🏼 rest in peace kind one
I’ve always admired her and I hate how there was an attempt to destroy her really. But she’s managed to hold on where so many would’ve perished. I look up to her for that. Now the world now about the Catholic Church.
He had a deft touch with her. She was interviewed many times in Ireland and brilliantly so by the likes of Gay Byrne, but it was never LA. Arsenio treated her like a big deal “product” but also as a human. Amazing interview.
Yes. I almost hate to admit, Arsenio himself was ahead of his time. I disliked him while he had his show but looking back he was doing alright. Poor Sinead. What can anyone say?RIP
Yes ..us Empaths are so misunderstood b c most humans are self centered and greedy the same reason the government tried to extinct our people Cherokee..eastern band wolf clan and still to this day treat our heritage like dirt ....thank God for our culture teaching us how to survive and give thanks to our Creator as we diligently walk down the red road .I was bullied by many as I was called half breed and go back to the reservation..my reply to this was go back to THE ORIGINAL PLACE YOU CAME FROM INTRUDER ..THIS WAS OUR LAND YOU STOLE !! I believe her song here sounds like what happened to our tribes ..I am 65 percent Native and Scottish ..so both of my ancestors were cruelly treated with no resolve .IT hurts my heart deeply to know the torcher they endured just to survive .The sadness of mind body and spirit destroyed our dignity our food our water so we were left for certain death BUT OUR SPIRIT WAS / IS much stronger deeper than their greed can go
@nikkiloveslife4841 no one would could begin to know what life entails for an Empath on a daily basis. Our hearts are pure loving and kind moreover, that is why folks animals and children are drawn to our shining lights. However, being vulnerable is a huge concern as not so nice people take complete advantage of our good nature!! Unfortunately, we get our hearts broken time and again feeling others pain from whatever reason .It gets pretty taxing sometimes but we have big shoulders ..lol We are deep thinkers often to a fault ..we seek answers to where when why and how far plus never give up until an issue is resolved .I never knew there was a name for our character until two years ago .My life would've been more fulfilling if I had known the meaning of our mission from God . Thank you so much for responding it's refreshing to find like people and know the other dark side of being so sensitive .When we need our batteries recharged ( many times) the simple calming of Mother EARTH environment s like listening to the rain dropping steadily on a tin roof ,a walk on the beach or hike in the mountains .These are pleasures that God graciously gave to us as his creation...with the hectic world we now live in people do not stop long enough to smell the roses and its a shame cuz there is such beauty in God's paint brush.Blessings to you hun and to all .
Just a shame she had so many great ideas and views but people were just not ready for her, she was ahead of her time...a sheer beauty in voice and stature as well.
She is so beautiful, not many can pull off a hair cut like that, she was just stunning, I think that’s why in the video for nothing compares to you, it’s just her face. It’s all that was needed to make people watch. She’s just breathtaking.
b g yes, granted she doesn’t look like she does in this clip, but it’s been a good few years, I don’t know anyone that looks as fresh in their 50’s as they did in their 20’s. I see she’s now Muslim, that’s the latest interviews I seen her in after all that online craziness, I guess she’s been really hurt , that’s what I picked up anyway but you just never know what someone’s really going through. It seems like she’s found what makes her happy, at least I hope she has. I don’t like commenting on people’s looks, but she just looks so fresh faced, so naturally beautiful here that I just ran away with myself.
The moment she talked about how she felt about getting so much hate from people really got to me... She was so young then and despite her strength, her vulnerability always showed in her eyes. Her emotional intelligence outshines all - and will do forever. Her voice will be ringing in many ears for years to come. 💔
Was she? We had the punk movement and political cry babies like Morrissey lol before she was on the scene we even had the riot grrl movement around the same time
Not to start a debate or anything but I always roll my eyes in exasperation when I hear yet another "_insert name_ was wayyyy ahead of their time!" ... It's just people like her or anybody else for that matter who stood up for something when it wasn't fashionable to be like that on twitter, that made "this time" possible (whatever that even is) as opposed to "their time". Values are timeless, and when somebody 30 or 300 years ago had them they weren't "ahead of their time", they just had these values. The world being what is sometimes makes people (culture) forget but it's not like some time ago people wouldn't be able to discern right from wrong. Ok, sermon over, back to the song.
She spoke her truth, she sang her truth, and she was an exemplar of the idea that an artist is a reflection of the world. Brava Sinead, well done. And what a glorious voice.
She was so strikingly beautiful and and had striking features. She buzzed off all her hair in protest, but it actually made her much prettier, and made her features stand our more. And it became her trademark.
Man, I was a kid when the Arsenio Hall Show was on and didn't fully appreciate just how amazing he was as a host. Really respectful and asked very insightful questions. He needs to come back! Also, Sinead was so far ahead of her time that we still haven't reached the time where her heart is speaking from. Rest in power, Irish Queen.
Yes, especially today most late night interviews are short and superficial. Arsenio would allocate extra time for guests when appropriate. He’d sometimes even skip the opening monologue so they wouldn’t have to cut interviews short or drop guests.
Yep. He was very unappreciated at the time. Even criticized a lot. But he deserves huge credit for bringing so much talent onto TV screens across N. America. Talent that wasn't getting it's due on the usual shows. Edgy comedians, controversial musicians, metal bands, hip hop, and up and coming actors, directors etc...He was really great.
you are wise when you trick the tricksters. She was just intelligent... sadly.. if she woul've been wise she would've sent her message anyway. She depended on too many sharks around her. Artists like her should keep it independent all the way.
@@rayaqin to make it simple, people nowadays call it simply as cancel culture. Banned from SNL, people burnt her cd back then, got countless hissy fit, even well-known public figures like madonna were invovled in mocking her after she ripped a pope picture for protesting the child/sex abuse practice by catholic church.
Great how Arsenio was putting innuendos every few minutes and Sinead just gave it right back she had such a great since of humor even with all the rage in her.
She has always been brutally honest, and delivers the truth of many things beautifully. Her voice is powerful, her soul is and always will be a brilliant light. RIP Sinead. You deserved better from humanity and they showed their worst when you gave your best.
She was simply too good for this dimension and she is now free of this cruel world...she is looking down on us now from a better place thinking 'poor suckers'....we humans are still too ignorant and arrogant in believing that THIS existence is better than the one beyond.
She is our times Joan of Arc vocally. I have so much respect for her and her honesty and sticking to her beliefs. She is an incredible singer, super intelligent and extremely honest. That’s a triple threat in my book!!! Thank you Sinead for being you!!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@stidwell91 She did have high morals ...she was HONEST about her views about sex.... unlike all the hypocrites who probably pleasure themselves over every unconceivable taboo going behind closed doors and them take the moral high ground. And anyway...who are you to judge....what goodness have you delivered to mankind on a global level ? Please let us all know and then maybe we can JUDGE you !
Sinead has always been beautiful, considerate, passionate and kind hearted. She felt she had a voice and she spoke for those who didn't have a platform. I've loved her humility, her courage, her artistry, her boldness since the late 80s. I am saddened that she is now gone but hope she is at peace with her beloved son.
Sinéad O'Connor wasn't just a great artist or a great singer with a phenomenal voice. She was also a wonderful human being and an advocate for truth and love to all god bless her heart! I'm so sad she was misunderstood by many back in the day and how the music industry chewed her up and spit her out. Rip sweet angel you are and always will be sorely missed by so many of us 🙏😔
Never saw this broadcast. "Crazy" Sinead sounds completely sane, lucid, intelligent, & sensible. I think I agreed with just about everything, if not everything that she said.
She got lost after having a Radical Hysterectomy in 2015. That's when the Mental Illness took over 😿😿 she had no support system or Friends to help her through it.
@@janiceflory673 No it was long before that. National Headlice awareness week, 4 kids by 4 fathers, she was kicked out of 7 schools in Waterford. She was batshit crazy long before that.
She was so intelligent, sensitive, so ahead of her time,an old soul, abused by her mom and later not respected for saying the truth about "stuff". Rest in peace pretty lady...
Micheline J - Well said. Honesty and being true to yourself is the only way. NOT always easy. Can't see how anyone couldn't want to wish Sinead all the best, given how she's been recently. Regards.
@@mikejanicke308 we all fall victim to time . Anyone that could look that good with a shaved head has to be special . Aside from that she is a good person , are you ?
I still can't believe that Sinead O'Connor was in my Caribbean Studies class at North London University in 1996. She wasn't there for long, possibly 2 months. Everyone knew who she was (obviously) but no one made a big deal of it. We kinda all knew (I assume) that she wanted to keep her head down and just study. She was very chilled. RIP Sinead x
I don't think that's right. I'm sure she would have loved to make new friends outside of music and fame. Didn't you say hi? She was probably too nervous to be social.
That's why I said assumed. I was only like 20 something at the time. It's hard to explain...you just do what you feel's right at that time. Shoulda woulda coulda and all that. @@ikemreacts
She was in my singing class after the ripping up the Pope thing. She actually lived in the school (which was just a house) for quite some time with her son. She was homeless because she had given her house in LA away to charity. Her dad was also in the singing class. Lovely man.
Her album 'I do not want what I haven't got' is a master piece, listening to the entire album is an utter experience, her voice range, how it breaks on those high notes. I have always admired her. She will live forever through her music.
I’d forgotten how deep this interview was and his extremely intelligent this woman was and she was just 24 here! She deserved much better treatment and support than she got. Now that she’s dead everyone’s remembering her and we’re all in shock and sad, but I wish she had been appreciated more while she was with us. Also, this interview is hilarious! She knew how to flirt!!!
Many 20-something year olds are quite intelligent. However the record execs/media shuts down any creative talent and paints another image of dumb bimbos pretending to be teenagers…all bleach blonde and half naked and drugged up by the time they are in their mid-20s.
And so it goes with many artists. They see the reality that abounds. They feel the pain. They are tortured by the things they go through or see others go through. Everyone is always ready to pounce on people who have opinions that don’t meet theirs. And call them crazy. Newsflash it isn’t the one who see injustice that are Crazy it’s the ones that don’t. We live in an upside down world and society. She’s spot on about what she said and now even more so today. Rest in Peace Sinead. Some of us heard you then and now.
Devastating loss for Ireland. We were blessed with her 🙌. I was born in 1988 so I remember her during late nineties, noughties and onward. She was an established artist when I was becoming a huge fan. Adore this interview of her. x
@@jonathandoelander6130 ummmm yeah....and....? Sooooooo I guess bald men are ugly.....well....because they are bald? Correct? She is a stunning person. She’s beautiful in and out. The world unfortunately wasn’t fully ready for her.
she was so ahead of her time and stood up when others stayed silent..she was truly a beautiful warrior with a beautiful spirit rest in sweet peace Sinead
I remember watching this interview when it first aired when I was a 14 year old kid & I was so enamoured by her honesty and wisdom. She is a Beautiful soul. Rest easy Sinead. ❤
❤ She will always be known for seeking and speaking the truth ❤ you're totally right ✅️ she will always be a queen in my mind too & I love the Sinèad o rebellion ❤ 💚🤍🧡
This is the first time I have ever heard this song and as an Irish person and a human being, I can say that my views and mentality are very similar to Sinead's. The song is a masterpiece and heaven has gained another angel.
I'm 51 and I remember Sinead as a pop star in the 90's. I didn't take much attention of her talent and beauty back in them days. I now realize how amazing she was as a person. Brave, intelligent, beautiful and very talented. R.I.P. Sinead, we will miss you wonderful woman. ❤😢
It's really simple: We all owe Sinead O'Conner an apology. Simple as that. I'm sorry Sinead. You were right. About this. About everything you said. If I had listened to you, I would have been a better person. If we had all listened to you, this would have been a better world. I only hope that, 30 years later isn't too late for us to learn.
She became a legend to me instantly after SNL. Growing up catholic you always had an uneasy feeling you were in some alternate reality. I happily left and never looked back.
With her beauty, intelligence and absolute musical talent imagine what she could have become if she'd have played the labels game. At 24 she knew more about herself than most people will in their entire lifetime. She was fragile, but so true to herself.
I think you've completely missed her point if you're suggesting that she should have "played the labels game." She became a legend by not playing a game made to exploit artists. She has even said herself that the backlash when she tore up the picture of the pope saved her from a pop celebrity status that she didn't want. She saw herself as a protest singer not a pop star. As for everything else you said about her, I agree.
Absolutely 💯! Fragile coz of all that's been thru...but still an icon even at this age...not many 24 yr olds are smart honest intelligent and self aware as she is
“Imagine what she could have become”? What?? Look at what she DID become and without playing their games and conforming to their wishes. Utter legend and all the more amazing for not playing the “labels game” whatever that is?
What a great host Arsenio was, so kind with her. Wow! She was only 23 and decades ahead of her time. I send her love through these rough times she is going through with the loss of her son. She is a lightworker brought here to plant the seeds in which we can see growing now.
Yes, I always loved her and her music, I was in high school at the time and did not realize what a gift she was to the world. She was definitely ahead of her time. To take on the world at such a young age is very bold and courageous the world was not ready for her. She was definetly sent here on a mission, she stands out from the crowd. She is definetly a light worker sent to uplift humanity and shed light on the wrong doings of society. You are a beautiful soul. Putting her career on the line says a lot about her true purpose here. Thank you 😊💙🙏🏽
@@summermoon3369 She was too real for the fake world of the music industry. I personally believe she's the most beautiful and innocent person who has ever appeared on TV. Beautiful, both physically *and* considering her soul, her essence and her being. And "innocence" in the sense that she was authentic and her intentions were pure, she wanted to have a good impact on the world through her music and fight against injustices.
As an irish person, theres a few things im immensely proud of - our independence, our international rugby team, and Sinead O'Connor. She should be on a coin.
Rest in paradise, you are a beautiful soul and deserved so much more in this life. Nothing compares to you, your angelic voice, your wisdom of heart that should’ve been applauded…you are the embodiment of true art. 💙💙💙
Yes, I love her lightly bawdy teasing of him. I bet he wasn't frequently at a loss for words but there are a few moments in this interview where he seemed to be.
Colton Coiner true but if she didn't stir up the pot so much back then maybe people wouldn't progress as much. In a way she sacrificed her career for the world, I feel like she's one of the people who really made a change, just from her speaking she opened many people's eyes.
Nope it would pretty much be the same. I understand why you say that though. However when anyone REAL stands up an speaks from the HEART, they become a 'problem' an people want them gone!
Yeah because everyone is so enlightened and revolutionary now with all the sleazy plastic talentless hacks that are popular and all the mindless vapid consumerism/s. People like Sinead would simply be ridiculed no matter the time period...that's how this world is.
Naw man cancel culture and all the pressures, the old days were the good days when you could more freely say what you wanted to say without feeling compelled to speak one way or the other. After all what about those who are neither right nor left, or just think differently. Afterall we can see how tough the press is on Billie Eilish, who came to stardom at a younger age than Sinead
Once again another angel has earned her wings..Thank you Sinead for being so heroic, taking a stand and using your voice to make the world aware the ugliness, hatred, dishonesties…May THE MOST HIGH have mercy on this world and may we continue to fight for peace , love and humanity
@@ChessmindedThinker have u ever noticed that u might be the exact type of person that lets bad things happen around you because "cant you just be a but more positive its so boring caring about things" no deal with reality and its harshness
My God, what a tragic loss we've all suffered. Such a brilliant, beautiful, articulate, passionate, COMpassionate woman with just an otherworldly talent. RIP Sinéad. May your troubled soul finally find some peace. Also, is it just me, or is it absolutely adorable the way she and Arsenio keep flirting with each other? 😂❤
This young lady is IpseLux : pure light. I had eyes but did not see, ears but did not hear, but i see her and hear her now. My favorite singer, without a doubt. Sinead, we love you. And we'll miss you young lady.
She warned the world about the Catholic Church 30 years ago and she paid a heavy price for it. I hope history remembers her heroism well.
Christ's Church was destroyed on purpose multiple times.
Who benefits.
What`s so "heroic" about her??...Anyone who didn`t already know the Catholic church was full of sadists and perverts 30 years ago must have had their head up ther ass.!!!
the Church can't hide People keep turning an Eye AND Sinead just turns her cheek AMEN PUT THAT N A SONG ,,,,,,

Pretty hard to imagine many 24 year olds with that amount of conscience and intelligence. What foresight and what honesty. Respect to Sinead, she's a star
Especially compared to today's young shallow celebrities. Not one of them could hold a conversation like this, being political, sweet, humble, witty and sincere at the same time. She's truly unique. A beautiful soul!

Love Sinead but every 24 year old sounds like this
The north of Ireland was or is a war zone. U2 channeled the Troubles. The history of Ireland is Another sad story of people being awful to each other
Sinead was fearless. A warrior, yet so fragile. This is what humanity and compassion and righteous indignation looks like. Sinead was a fire that burned hard and bright for what she believed in. She will be remembered as such.
Elton John should write a tribute song for her like he did for Marilyn Monroe.
Sinead wasn't ''Fearless'' as you put it. She had fear and felt the same way you or I would feel with vultures and sharks snapping at our flesh just trying to get a better bite in to do as much damage as possible. Sinead O'Connor had bravery and guts. She had the cognitive prowess to speak clearly on what is so wrong in the world regarding what we are all spoon fed through media outlets and then the guts to confront it, face it head on, and, with an awful lot to lose. She had spirit, guts and determination because she cared about love, families and disadvantageous people from every place over the globe. RIP sweetheart, I know I will meet you one day in the ether:)
@@MICKEYISLOWDamen to that 💚
Irish Americans have always been on the wrong side of history.
Yes, but so many of these positive comments are only made after she's dead. Too late? Perhaps she could have done with them while she was still alive - they might've help made her life a little easier?
I met Sinead in wilmette Illinois later on in her life . She had put on weight and aged like we all did . I could see her pain 💔 in her gorgeous grey eyes and all that pain she endured lifelong. Many are unaware of the demons that tortured her . She was a beautiful mystical creature that was to fragile for this world yet strong and fierce to protect others . She was wearing a shapless grey dress and stradeling her bike that had a wicker basket full of fliwers and fruits and vegetables. At the farmers market. Unless you knew her like myself she blended in with the scenery. A beautiful fall day in illinois the smell of Halloween and an amazing human being. I will never forget
24 years old and speaks like she's been on the earth 1000 years.
She probably has 😎👍
She possessed wisdom! Emotional intelligence, sincerity and kindness... ❤
Well said!!!
Талантливая и гениальная
she has probably reincarnated lots of times💖💖💖💖
You wanna know why she is depressed? Because she understands what the fuck is going on in the world.
exactly...and they have her medicated to protect the deception, and depressing holocaust on Nature; prepare for the extinction of humanity.

So true
Exactly... modern psychology for me is meaningless at all. First It sees herds as a normal people. İf you have a possibility to see sth more than usual then you have a mental issue. Thats bullshit.
And she was abused as a child.
Chris Churchill very true👍
over 30 years later-there are still wars and music awards, but no Sinead to say the same thing. We miss you, girl!
Your comment sounds like lyrics to a song in her honor. ❤
However now there are so many ‘celebs’ eager to ply empty words with little action…she was so raw and honest and a light on a dark time.
And shite! What a sense of humour!!
🙏
She is very articulate..wisdom beyond her years! RIP 🙏
She’s was never going to sell her soul to the devil (aka, the music industry) for fame and fortune. I have nothing but respect for Sinéad O’Connor!!
The Devil is above and beyond the blind music industry, and the selling of their souls is literal and real as well as symbolic
She sold it to Islam...
@@Fuzziefeelings Yes, Different type of demon altogether, but still under Satan
There are many devils.
Respect Sinead, she knew what the industry was really about!
It’s so nice to see what people wrote so positively about her years ago, not just because she’s now died. Rest in peace.
She can sleep with a clear conscious rest in peace sweetheart
It seems like the more conservative and cowardly didn't like her
I have been reading the old comments on videos today, and they honestly bring me to tears just how beautiful they are, considering the internet can be a very dark place.
Love and peace to all reading, we all have a bit of Sinead in out hearts. Now it is up to us what we will do with it.
I’m conservative but I love her, we don’t have to have the same political reviews to love each other - her 1990 performance of “Nothing compares 2 U” was unbelievably emotional and one of the greatest songs in history. RIP Sinead - lovely lady.
@@unknown24242424I have to admit Nothing Compares to You is one of her weakest songs from that time, if you're not aware of her other songs, have a listen! but agree with you otherwise wholeheartedly, such a sad loss❤💔
She truly was ahead of her time in her thoughts. What a voice. Such a beautiful human being
yes so beautiful - still I never liked that expression - ahead of her time - people say that to me all the time and it just saddens me and I feel like more of an outcast and get confused - like people need to catch up to me? I don't think it's about being ahead of individuals I think it's about seeing a truth and being suppressed by society instead of welcomed. Unfortunately time brings things to justice - but not always - we learn from our mistakes - so let's learn by paying attention to artists and supporting who speak truth instead of being part of suppressing them.
I didn’t understand her when she broke out as a kid but I think you are right. In a way, lady gaga and other ppl try to be non political but universal like this
@@AvivaSingsOutamen.❤🙏🏽
The Freddie White??
@@MsCharliAnn thx - I wonder if it's a form of gas lighting in a way - but often unintentionally
Obviously she was intelligent, empathetic, and worldly beyond her years. But my lord, she was also stunningly beautiful.
Natural beauty and unique features. It takes true beauty to look so stunning with that haircut.
I am all broken up, Sinead. I am 50 years old and I heard the song "Mandinka" when I was only 14, and then later heard this song on this video. I am Cherokee. My people originated from North Carolina, but I grew up in Washington D.C. It changed my life. You were a HUGE influence on the trajectory I chose to go: That of a bold, outspoken woman, and I, too, have been crucified for it. I am an Indigenous Rights Activist for 36 years and walked across the country until my feet bled into the ground for the American Indian Movement on the Walk Across America in 1992 and then was a National Bernie Sanders Delegate against Donald Trump, and got crucified for being outspoken in America, so I moved to Canada. I know you felt alone and broken and nobody was telling you they loved you. I know that you even went on Dr. Phil b/c you were in crisis and I knew what was in your heart the whole time. You were angel who blessed us all and gave us so much...I will never forget you and I I will NEVER forget the influence you had on me as a teenager. The song on this video is that introduced me to your deeply soulful voice and that, along with "Mandinka" which changed me as a teenager who grew up in a troubled home and abusive and alcoholic home. YOUR SONGS CAME THROUGH ON MY WALKMAN AND ENCOURAGED ME TO LIVE AND SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY. I am broken up that you have passed. My mother died at same age: 56. This will also haunt me forever. The world, as always, especially America, will tell you how much they loved you after the fact. I am grieving hard, for the empath and sensitive, loving and deeply bold and outspoken women you were and for all of the people who put you through hell and they will all come back and regret that you are gone, but they did not tell you in this life how much they loved you. You were so ICONIC in the late eighties when you came out: LION AND THE COBRA! I will never forget when my friend Wendy introduced me to that album. NOTHING COULD EVER COMPARE TO YOU, SINEAD! NOTHING! You are absolutely incredible and were so beautiful. WELL BEHAVED WOMEN RARELY MAKE HISTORY AND YOU, MY FRIEND, WILL GO DOWN AS THE BEST, A LEGEND. THIS INDIGENOUS WARRIOR WOMAN HERE IS CRYING, WISHING YOU WERE BACK, BUT I WILL SEE YOU UP THERE, IN THE CELESTIAL REALMS. I LOVE YOU, R.
💔💔💜 Grieving with you Seattle Poet
Thank you for expressing your thoughts so openly. Like you, Sinead's death has affected me deeply however through her outspokenness she like other brave souls gave me the strength to push back against injustices where and when I saw them, by that we uphold her memory and those like her who have and are fighting against discrimination. You are not alone, and I wish you peace in your soul.
thank you for writing this and loving her so sincerely, holding her in prayer with other people means so much. It's impossible to do anything but want to hold her xx
This world was not meant for one as beautiful as you ❤
Beautiful
She was one of a kind. The world needs more people like her.
Exactly people who aren't scared to speak their minds.. Instead of all the fake people who stab you in the back as soon as you turn. She was real and genuine which is very rare.. She was so beautiful too. Those eyes. Woman would die for those big doe eyes. x
I am similar! But it's lonely!
There is quite a few of them in the music industry and Hollyweird ….but they are on the wrong side of the spectrum…sitting in their mansions and bitching ….
Oh god no. She makes me depressed as hell. We need more light-hearted people. Imagine taking her on a date lol
I couldn’t agree with you more. A girl who actually cares. The world has lost a diamond, stuff your philosophers!
Dear Sinead, as a 64 year old that was wowed by the first song I ever heard on radio getting ready for work one early morning, Mandinka, you had me hooked.
You are a poet, truthteller and a great musical artist. I’m so sorry this fucked up world got the better of you. It’s not fair ❤️❤️
That was a very sweet and beautiful comment. I'm almost 34 and sometimes forget those older than me can have the thoughts and feelings that I do too. I live being able to relate people. ❤️
FTW
Make her proud!!
Wow. Couldn’t have said it better myself 💯🫶🏻
It takes strength, courage and boldness to stand in your conviction. She was telling the truth. I applaud her❤
she sang that song with no music behind her and it was beautifully captivating. What talent.
RIP Sinead. Not just a beautiful voice but a gentle and brave soul.
@@KISSHOOTERS6969everything ok?
🙏
Crap
I've learned a lot about her in the past week. If only more people could be as caring, real and honest as Sinead was. I wish I had watched more interviews like this.
She was so brave.
she was so beautiful. Her eyes are so pretty
Yes ❤
Sinead was ahead of her time and she has ALWAYS been a real one. She was hung out to dry for her beliefs and ultimately, people are just now seeing she was absolutely right. They were so angry with her for daring to call out injustice and division and yes, abuse and pedophilia hiding in religious institutions. Sinead was a queen and people aren’t made of the stuff she was made of. I hope she can finally get some rest and relief. Rest well Sinead.
💯🙏✌️
Well said....but....some of us did know back then exactly what she was saying, and were also shouted down for supporting her. I grew up with her (I'm exactly the same age as her and come from the area she grew up in) and knew precisely what message she was conveying. I don't mean that in a bravado kind of way, just that for every 100 people or so she pissed off she also inspired at least one, like my humble self. And the truth always comes out in the end of course. She will never be forgotten here in Ireland and her work and words will live on eternally like Yeats, Beckett, Synge and Wilde. 💚
Ireland her country turned their back on her even when it came out that all Catholic priests were indeed perverts she said it first but nobody came out and said Sínead was right. Because Ireland didn’t recognise her and her mental health took a turn for the worse . Now everyone is saying she was ahead of her time but why didn’t people say it when she was alive and make her feel better about herself read these comments were was these people when she was alive,.
Sinead O'connor is the epitome of authenticity.
Her most popular song was by Prince
We didn’t appreciate and deserve her wisdom back then. She was right about it all!
Your comment aged like fine wine.
R.I.P Sinéad
@@PeterBornAgain I don’t care for most celebrities, but her death has hit me hard. She had so much trauma to overcome, but she still wanted to make a difference. Her childhood was wretched, then losing her son is just too much.
16:30 Here with heavy heart, a powerful soul gone. Her mark was left; let's not squander it.
Indeed... she was so far ahead of the game...
You really said it.
this interview reminds me of WHY I adored Sinead when I first heard Lion and the Cobra in 1989.
The way she made Arsinio blush 🤭💕
This interview is a gem, what a blessing to see her in this way, and testament to her inner beauty and soundness 🙏🏼 rest in peace kind one
She's not just beautiful because of her looks! It's her mind, her talent and her courageous spirit.
I admire her courageous sprit, salute 🤘
I’ve always admired her and I hate how there was an attempt to destroy her really. But she’s managed to hold on where so many would’ve perished. I look up to her for that. Now the world now about the Catholic Church.
She's a beautiful woman inside and out
Arsenio was so warm and welcoming, still while being funny. Sinead was a gift and a light, most people never understood that.
He had a deft touch with her. She was interviewed many times in Ireland and brilliantly so by the likes of Gay Byrne, but it was never LA. Arsenio treated her like a big deal “product” but also as a human. Amazing interview.
Yes. I almost hate to admit, Arsenio himself was ahead of his time. I disliked him while he had his show but looking back he was doing alright.
Poor Sinead. What can anyone say?RIP
Yes ..us Empaths are so misunderstood b c most humans are self centered and greedy the same reason the government tried to extinct our people Cherokee..eastern band wolf clan and still to this day treat our heritage like dirt ....thank God for our culture teaching us how to survive and give thanks to our Creator as we diligently walk down the red road .I was bullied by many as I was called half breed and go back to the reservation..my reply to this was go back to THE ORIGINAL PLACE YOU CAME FROM INTRUDER ..THIS WAS OUR LAND YOU STOLE !! I believe her song here sounds like what happened to our tribes ..I am 65 percent Native and Scottish ..so both of my ancestors were cruelly treated with no resolve .IT hurts my heart deeply to know the torcher they endured just to survive .The sadness of mind body and spirit destroyed our dignity our food our water so we were left for certain death BUT OUR SPIRIT WAS / IS much stronger deeper than their greed can go
I think the flirting was so cute!
@nikkiloveslife4841 no one would could begin to know what life entails for an Empath on a daily basis. Our hearts are pure loving and kind moreover, that is why folks animals and children are drawn to our shining lights. However, being vulnerable is a huge concern as not so nice people take complete advantage of our good nature!! Unfortunately, we get our hearts broken time and again feeling others pain from whatever reason .It gets pretty taxing sometimes but we have big shoulders ..lol We are deep thinkers often to a fault ..we seek answers to where when why and how far plus never give up until an issue is resolved .I never knew there was a name for our character until two years ago .My life would've been more fulfilling if I had known the meaning of our mission from God . Thank you so much for responding it's refreshing to find like people and know the other dark side of being so sensitive .When we need our batteries recharged ( many times) the simple calming of Mother EARTH environment s like listening to the rain dropping steadily
on a tin roof ,a walk on the beach or hike in the mountains .These are pleasures that God graciously gave to us as his creation...with the hectic world we now live in people do not stop long enough
to smell the roses and its a shame cuz there is such beauty in God's paint brush.Blessings to you hun and to all .
She was very deep and wise and brave and always smiling on all of her interviews. Amazing human being! Definitely she was ahead of her time ❤
That’s so amazing her voice sounds so beautiful no instruments needed.
Her voice is Great.. She's up there with the best ever.
Yeah, she was a badass no doubt about it
Just a shame she had so many great ideas and views but people were just not ready for her, she was ahead of her time...a sheer beauty in voice and stature as well.
She would have gone over great in present time 2021
Love it-well said!!!
I agree when looking back on it. It’s been interesting to see the media treatment of her Madonna and Janet Jackson over the years.
@@rvegas81 Yeah, Pamela Anderson got a horrific time purely for being sexy, which helped them sell lorry loads of newspapers, magazines etc-bizarre
You are correct but she is challenging the status quo & the relentless jingoism in the USA ;)
The world owes Sinead an apology
Too late.
For what?
@@lysanderofsparta3708 For the pure hatred directed at her after she ripped up the picture of the Pope.
@@MrRedNYC Really? The whole world is responsible for that?
@@lysanderofsparta3708 Yes
Wonderful a cappella performance.
Rest well, Warrior Queen 🕊❤️
She had a sense of justice and wanted a better world. A amazing beautiful heart. Rest in paradise 🙏
My God, she is a beautiful woman, physically, spiritually and vocally.
i agree
Now every non muslim attacks her for her new belief, islam.
She is so beautiful, not many can pull off a hair cut like that, she was just stunning, I think that’s why in the video for nothing compares to you, it’s just her face. It’s all that was needed to make people watch.
She’s just breathtaking.
That is a dude! Not a woman
b g yes, granted she doesn’t look like she does in this clip, but it’s been a good few years, I don’t know anyone that looks as fresh in their 50’s as they did in their 20’s.
I see she’s now Muslim, that’s the latest interviews I seen her in after all that online craziness, I guess she’s been really hurt , that’s what I picked up anyway but you just never know what someone’s really going through.
It seems like she’s found what makes her happy, at least I hope she has.
I don’t like commenting on people’s looks, but she just looks so fresh faced, so naturally beautiful here that I just ran away with myself.
The world owes this woman an apology. shes so real.
Nah…just the oppressors.
The oppressed always knew she was right.
Arsenio was nervous like he's interviewing a Head of State. Sinead really had this super matured presence and intellect.
What a beautiful voice she had. A woman who spoke out so long ago about the wrongs of the world - rest in peace, Sinead.
The moment she talked about how she felt about getting so much hate from people really got to me... She was so young then and despite her strength, her vulnerability always showed in her eyes. Her emotional intelligence outshines all - and will do forever. Her voice will be ringing in many ears for years to come. 💔
She was wayyyyy ahead of her time!!!!! People need to hear this message today.
WE GONNA BE SEEING OR HEARING SO MUCH MORE FROM THIS LIVING LEGEND XXX
@@nicholagreenwood2271 I’m pretty sure she’s extremely suicidal and depressed now, and has tried to end her life multiple times. It’s really sad.
Was she? We had the punk movement and political cry babies like Morrissey lol before she was on the scene we even had the riot grrl movement around the same time
Not to start a debate or anything but I always roll my eyes in exasperation when I hear yet another "_insert name_ was wayyyy ahead of their time!" ...
It's just people like her or anybody else for that matter who stood up for something when it wasn't fashionable to be like that on twitter, that made "this time" possible (whatever that even is) as opposed to "their time". Values are timeless, and when somebody 30 or 300 years ago had them they weren't "ahead of their time", they just had these values. The world being what is sometimes makes people (culture) forget but it's not like some time ago people wouldn't be able to discern right from wrong.
Ok, sermon over, back to the song.
She was a product of her time. ✊🏽
RIP to Sinead 🕊🕊
Just wow 🩷🩷 Her voice always gives me chills. Hard to believe she was 24 and so wise already.
She spoke her truth, she sang her truth, and she was an exemplar of the idea that an artist is a reflection of the world. Brava Sinead, well done. And what a glorious voice.
She was definitely a gem in her time. It's crazy how they called her crazy when she is on point about everything then and now.
Her comments about material success in the music industry were SPOT ON and still so relevant. Such a loss.
She was so strikingly beautiful and and had striking features. She buzzed off all her hair in protest, but it actually made her much prettier, and made her features stand our more. And it became her trademark.
She actually ROCKS the bald look❤ it really suits her.
Man, I was a kid when the Arsenio Hall Show was on and didn't fully appreciate just how amazing he was as a host. Really respectful and asked very insightful questions. He needs to come back! Also, Sinead was so far ahead of her time that we still haven't reached the time where her heart is speaking from. Rest in power, Irish Queen.
Yes, especially today most late night interviews are short and superficial. Arsenio would allocate extra time for guests when appropriate. He’d sometimes even skip the opening monologue so they wouldn’t have to cut interviews short or drop guests.
Yep. He was very unappreciated at the time. Even criticized a lot. But he deserves huge credit for bringing so much talent onto TV screens across N. America. Talent that wasn't getting it's due on the usual shows. Edgy comedians, controversial musicians, metal bands, hip hop, and up and coming actors, directors etc...He was really great.
Slightly exaggerated.
Thank you for this beautiful comment. You spoke my sentiments precisely.
Bless🌙
she was wise beyond her years
you are wise when you trick the tricksters. She was just intelligent... sadly.. if she woul've been wise she would've sent her message anyway. She depended on too many sharks around her. Artists like her should keep it independent all the way.
Very true AND beautiful beyond words
not wise, just highly sensitive and didn’t understand why so many young people were so idiotic & brainwashed
@Dog Mutt Definitely not the idiot who's blind to see her wisdom !
She has integrity
ahead of her time and punished for it.. Sinead O'Connor.
Joan of Arc of her time a true angel still to this day with such perfect talent and gifts
My wife calls her gods muse and she's right
And a trainwreck to boot!
how was she punished?
@@rayaqin to make it simple, people nowadays call it simply as cancel culture. Banned from SNL, people burnt her cd back then, got countless hissy fit, even well-known public figures like madonna were invovled in mocking her after she ripped a pope picture for protesting the child/sex abuse practice by catholic church.
She was so beautiful inside and out
Great how Arsenio was putting innuendos every few minutes and Sinead just gave it right back she had such a great since of humor even with all the rage in her.
She has always been brutally honest, and delivers the truth of many things beautifully. Her voice is powerful, her soul is and always will be a brilliant light. RIP Sinead. You deserved better from humanity and they showed their worst when you gave your best.
She was simply too good for this dimension and she is now free of this cruel world...she is looking down on us now from a better place thinking 'poor suckers'....we humans are still too ignorant and arrogant in believing that THIS existence is better than the one beyond.
She was murdered by the same people that she went against.
so good said about wonderfull powerwoman
She is our times Joan of Arc vocally. I have so much respect for her and her honesty and sticking to her beliefs. She is an incredible singer, super intelligent and extremely honest. That’s a triple threat in my book!!!
Thank you Sinead for being you!!!!❤️❤️❤️
What a perfect comparison.
Damn ...perfect comparison!
Rip 🫡😥
And funny to boot!
Wow, never thought of her in this way. But yes! I always loved her and was sorry to see her suffering. R.I.P. Sinead 🖤

No as she was Irish ,she died on 26/7/23
Sinead has always been beautiful, considerate, passionate and kind hearted. She felt she had a voice and she spoke for those who didn't have a platform. I've loved her humility, her courage, her artistry, her boldness since the late 80s. I am saddened that she is now gone but hope she is at peace with her beloved son.
Sinéad O'Connor wasn't just a great artist or a great singer with a phenomenal voice. She was also a wonderful human being and an advocate for truth and love to all god bless her heart! I'm so sad she was misunderstood by many back in the day and how the music industry chewed her up and spit her out. Rip sweet angel you are and always will be sorely missed by so many of us 🙏😔

She was so intelligent, sensitive, so ahead of her time,an old soul, abused by her mom and later not respected for saying the truth about "stuff". Rest in peace pretty lady...
It's so weird seeing a thoughtful dialogue play out on a talk show.
Absolutely. It's refreshing because you actually learn something about someone. To me, she comes across as being incredibly honest.
+Herb Bees Looking back, Arsenio was actually a pretty underrated interviewer.
She speaks like she knows she's taking risks, but pushes on to be true to herself come what may. She is incredible and I wish her the best.
Micheline J - Well said. Honesty and being true to yourself is the only way. NOT always easy. Can't see how anyone couldn't want to wish Sinead all the best, given how she's been recently. Regards.
She is incredibly, authentically human.
She's probably the most stunning looking human being i've ever seen. An incredibly intelligent lady too with an amazing voice.

I still can't believe that Sinead O'Connor was in my Caribbean Studies class at North London University in 1996. She wasn't there for long, possibly 2 months. Everyone knew who she was (obviously) but no one made a big deal of it. We kinda all knew (I assume) that she wanted to keep her head down and just study. She was very chilled. RIP Sinead x
She was learned
Incredible being.... beautiful acapella at the end, Irish ways and Irish laws, speaks volumes RIP Sinead x 🙏 💙
I don't think that's right. I'm sure she would have loved to make new friends outside of music and fame. Didn't you say hi? She was probably too nervous to be social.
That's why I said assumed. I was only like 20 something at the time. It's hard to explain...you just do what you feel's right at that time. Shoulda woulda coulda and all that. @@ikemreacts
She was in my singing class after the ripping up the Pope thing. She actually lived in the school (which was just a house) for quite some time with her son. She was homeless because she had given her house in LA away to charity. Her dad was also in the singing class. Lovely man.
Her album 'I do not want what I haven't got' is a master piece, listening to the entire album is an utter experience, her voice range, how it breaks on those high notes. I have always admired her. She will live forever through her music.
Agree completely. And Black boys on mopeds, the live version in TH-cam especially, is a simply perfect song. In every way.
I’d forgotten how deep this interview was and his extremely intelligent this woman was and she was just 24 here! She deserved much better treatment and support than she got. Now that she’s dead everyone’s remembering her and we’re all in shock and sad, but I wish she had been appreciated more while she was with us. Also, this interview is hilarious! She knew how to flirt!!!
Many 20-something year olds are quite intelligent. However the record execs/media shuts down any creative talent and paints another image of dumb bimbos pretending to be teenagers…all bleach blonde and half naked and drugged up by the time they are in their mid-20s.
And so it goes with many artists. They see the reality that abounds. They feel the pain. They are tortured by the things they go through or see others go through. Everyone is always ready to pounce on people who have opinions that don’t meet theirs. And call them crazy. Newsflash it isn’t the one who see injustice that are Crazy it’s the ones that don’t. We live in an upside down world and society. She’s spot on about what she said and now even more so today. Rest in Peace Sinead. Some of us heard you then and now.
So talented. No special effects no other instruments just her instrument. Stunningly profound and beautiful performance.
Profound! That was the word i was looking for.
The original version is by an irish group Moving Hearts,check it out,they were great.
Devastating loss for Ireland. We were blessed with her 🙌. I was born in 1988 so I remember her during late nineties, noughties and onward. She was an established artist when I was becoming a huge fan. Adore this interview of her. x

This is the first time I have ever heard this song and as an Irish person and a human being, I can say that my views and mentality are very similar to Sinead's. The song is a masterpiece and heaven has gained another angel.
Me too, beautifully song.
I'm 51 and I remember Sinead as a pop star in the 90's. I didn't take much attention of her talent and beauty back in them days. I now realize how amazing she was as a person. Brave, intelligent, beautiful and very talented. R.I.P. Sinead, we will miss you wonderful woman. ❤😢
I'm 51..feel the same and realised within the last week how awesome she was in all respects..😢🙏
Amazingly smart, beautiful and talented. One of a kind.
It's really simple: We all owe Sinead O'Conner an apology.
Simple as that.
I'm sorry Sinead. You were right. About this. About everything you said. If I had listened to you, I would have been a better person. If we had all listened to you, this would have been a better world.
I only hope that, 30 years later isn't too late for us to learn.
Big time. Though I have never lost my belief in or respect for Sinead. She is an embodiment of truth!
I don’t. I believe the corruption and murders involved. Wake the F… up!!
Even now, it's never too late.
I always listened and agreed with her.
She became a legend to me instantly after SNL. Growing up catholic you always had an uneasy feeling you were in some alternate reality. I happily left and never looked back.
what a beautiful soul she was. The performance and song at the end is really breath taking... RIP
Beautiful song. Never heard it before. I loved her singing the foggy dew for Conor McGregors walk out in 2015. RIP🇮🇪🙏❤️
Originally performed by Moving Hearts, a member of the band was her later partner Donal Lunny.
With her beauty, intelligence and absolute musical talent imagine what she could have become if she'd have played the labels game. At 24 she knew more about herself than most people will in their entire lifetime. She was fragile, but so true to herself.
I think you've completely missed her point if you're suggesting that she should have "played the labels game." She became a legend by not playing a game made to exploit artists. She has even said herself that the backlash when she tore up the picture of the pope saved her from a pop celebrity status that she didn't want. She saw herself as a protest singer not a pop star. As for everything else you said about her, I agree.
She became what she was because she didn't play thier little games. The wheat was truly separated from the chafe.
She was a F'n marine!!! She fought for human rights. Beautiful soul.
Absolutely 💯! Fragile coz of all that's been thru...but still an icon even at this age...not many 24 yr olds are smart honest intelligent and self aware as she is
“Imagine what she could have become”? What?? Look at what she DID become and without playing their games and conforming to their wishes. Utter legend and all the more amazing for not playing the “labels game” whatever that is?
I missed this interview at the time. She was ethereal and strong and will be missed by me. She was such an incredible human.
She knew what the rest of us didn’t know for years. She deserved better. RIP
👏👏👏🤜🤛👍
What a great host Arsenio was, so kind with her. Wow! She was only 23 and decades ahead of her time. I send her love through these rough times she is going through with the loss of her son. She is a lightworker brought here to plant the seeds in which we can see growing now.
Yes, the host was really kind and respectful. Today's hosts almost seem like vultures compared to this!
Yes, I always loved her and her music, I was in high school at the time and did not realize what a gift she was to the world. She was definitely ahead of her time. To take on the world at such a young age is very bold and courageous the world was not ready for her. She was definetly sent here on a mission, she stands out from the crowd. She is definetly a light worker sent to uplift humanity and shed light on the wrong doings of society. You are a beautiful soul. Putting her career on the line says a lot about her true purpose here. Thank you 😊💙🙏🏽
@@summermoon3369 She was too real for the fake world of the music industry.
I personally believe she's the most beautiful and innocent person who has ever appeared on TV. Beautiful, both physically *and* considering her soul, her essence and her being. And "innocence" in the sense that she was authentic and her intentions were pure, she wanted to have a good impact on the world through her music and fight against injustices.
@@Analysis_Paralysis I agree wholeheartedly😊
@@Analysis_Paralysis she is absolutely ethereal ❤ and deserves a massive public apology
That slightly shy look at the end...and the peace sign. What an amazing performance. What an amazing human
As an irish person, theres a few things im immensely proud of - our independence, our international rugby team, and Sinead O'Connor.
She should be on a coin.
She's a national treasure
I think she would hate that. She just said in the interview that love of money was the source of all evil.
What about the Irish Gaelic language? You must not lose it
You are a gem.
Rest in paradise, you are a beautiful soul and deserved so much more in this life. Nothing compares to you, your angelic voice, your wisdom of heart that should’ve been applauded…you are the embodiment of true art. 💙💙💙
What a stunning performance and fascinating interview. She was so fierce and yet playful with Arsenio. May her memory be a blessing.
Yes, I love her lightly bawdy teasing of him. I bet he wasn't frequently at a loss for words but there are a few moments in this interview where he seemed to be.
" Bob Dylan, Ice Cube and Van Morrison. John Lennon had to die before he won a Grammy." God in heaven people, what a beautiful women.
Thank you Arsenio for this interview with Sinead
she was revolutionary for that time. imagine if she came out at that age now! she would be hella famous and respected
Colton Coiner true but if she didn't stir up the pot so much back then maybe people wouldn't progress as much. In a way she sacrificed her career for the world, I feel like she's one of the people who really made a change, just from her speaking she opened many people's eyes.
Nope it would pretty much be the same. I understand why you say that though. However when anyone REAL stands up an speaks from the HEART, they become a 'problem' an people want them gone!
Yeah because everyone is so enlightened and revolutionary now with all the sleazy plastic talentless hacks that are popular and all the mindless vapid consumerism/s. People like Sinead would simply be ridiculed no matter the time period...that's how this world is.
She IS hella famous and respected
Naw man cancel culture and all the pressures, the old days were the good days when you could more freely say what you wanted to say without feeling compelled to speak one way or the other. After all what about those who are neither right nor left, or just think differently. Afterall we can see how tough the press is on Billie Eilish, who came to stardom at a younger age than Sinead
She was so honest all the time. Amazing to look at and listen to.
Once again another angel has earned her wings..Thank you Sinead for being so heroic, taking a stand and using your voice to make the world aware the ugliness, hatred, dishonesties…May THE MOST HIGH have mercy on this world and may we continue to fight for peace , love and humanity
@@ChessmindedThinker have u ever noticed that u might be the exact type of person that lets bad things happen around you because "cant you just be a but more positive its so boring caring about things"
no
deal with reality and its harshness
Sinead was so right and as for the most high heaven will be a lonely place with but a few there . HELL will be very busy . Rip Sinead 🇮🇪
Life is so fragile and short.. she was so beautiful at 24..and I read she said I'm an old lady now in response to a comment. Growing old is hard
and here we are 25 years later and IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE
Not my president!
yep. and the "stars" as vacuous as ever.. prolly worse too.
charles torrence I agree
think catalyst -- the shit hits the fan, change is invited...
@@untetheredsoul4335 ...and morons like u.
She was so, well spoken during the interview..and I love her Irish accents...She speaks so fast so, clear that she puts her words well together..
i was thinking the same exact thing while watching. thats a gift
Intelligent
GlassLegend# curious...were you not expecting Sinead to put words together so well?
The Irish tend to have a lovely accent.
My God, what a tragic loss we've all suffered. Such a brilliant, beautiful, articulate, passionate, COMpassionate woman with just an otherworldly talent. RIP Sinéad. May your troubled soul finally find some peace.
Also, is it just me, or is it absolutely adorable the way she and Arsenio keep flirting with each other? 😂❤
This young lady is IpseLux : pure light.
I had eyes but did not see, ears but did not hear, but i see her and hear her now.
My favorite singer, without a doubt.
Sinead, we love you. And we'll miss you young lady.
