The world did deserve her, in fact the world needed her. She suffered greatly throughout her life but she knew exactly what she was doing, and she knew that more good would come from her actions than the pain she went through. She would often speak about how artists are supposed to draw attention to what is uncomfortable and she felt so strongly that was her calling and she went for it courageously. She inspired so many to do the same which will eventually bring humanity to the light.
She was right, and so brave. She spoke for the poor, brutalized innocents, to whom the Catholic Church turned a blind eye. We miss you, Sinead! You were right.
there was no blind eye - there was out and out abuse by the Catholic Church - please dont diminish the truth of which she spoke, not now, not EVER - we WILL WIN
@@RadiosGomer Sinead was not there to “entertain” but to bring forth the crimes of child abuse committed by members of the Catholic church to light! She was a victim of child abuse and she took a stand for the victims. Please watch the movie “spotlight”
I know this is a controversial moment and unrelated to that, singing live and accapella on live television with one shot is amazing and brave. I don’t recall any other pop singer who would sing a full song live accapella on tv.
She was only 11 years older than me. I remember when this happened. The impact it made was huge. I think it was better understood in her home country than here in the US. She was brave for doing it. RIP Ms. O’Conner
Met Sinead was a beautiful kind girl .the evil so called Catholic church are the enemy she was right as we all know here in Ireland .a so called priest LOCKED UP my mother left her to die .took 2 of us her children We were out to work as slaves lashed beating by scum called nuns . So rest in peace my dear friend Sinead .so sad 😢 she out of her pain .a very talked incredible utterly amazingly singer . R.i.P 🌹🌺
I remember Ireland hated her for it because the church had a huge impact on everyone there. They closed the last Magdalene Laundry in the 80s there..80s!
One of the great rock n roll moments. Sinead was a punk.a fearless believer in truth.she was right and america couldn't handle the truth. Rest in power sinead.
I can’t believe you were able to post this… since 1992 this video was never shown. Censorship is poison… you don’t have to agree but you don’t have a right to choose what I watch. She ripped up a picture, she didn’t hurt anyone. If you disagree with what she did then don’t watch it. Thank you for this video!
She is the most courageous. SNL and Joe Pesci and all others that condemned her for her bravery ought to fade into obscurity for their cowardice. Sinéad lives forever in the hearts of the people.
@@danarzechula3769 what's that have to do with her? Doing something like this was very much so not "serving money" because it cost her big time financially. The whole world turned her back on her. Can we stop with the false narrative that accumulating wealth is automatically evil? You do know David and his son had a couple dollars stashed away, right? To reiterate, there's nothing wrong with providing your children's children with a financial inheritance, it's actually biblical to do so. Proverbs 13:22
@@Itsdrozee that's between her and The Most High, He will forgive her.. but her place in the age to come depends on where He desires her to be. I'm sure it'll be far above the popes position.. then again, murderers and all sorts of evil people will be having a much easier time in Judgement than that man.
@@Itsdrozee Forgive her for what? She was fighting a good fight. If anything, any so-called god should be seeking forgiveness for letting scum like all those abusers represent him.
I remember being a kid watching this live and not understanding what it all meant but knew it was big. I understand too well now. She was brave and right. 10 years before spotlight.
i see myself in her so much. i’m not irish (although i have a very distant irish background) but i am a woman who has experienced trauma. and she was always standing up for what she believed in no matter what other people said. she fought & fought for her cause but the world just spat in her face. she was a survivor and a very powerful one - it is so sad that some people are only just realising that. rest in peace sinead.
One of the bravest people in today's modern world. Sinead, now we realize you were right, and you were way ahead of your time. Continue the fight of good versus evil!
she is a revolutionary, a very brave soul. all the statements in the song are true today (although the song was from another music group). go and see the world today!
J'ai beaucoup d'estime et de respect pour son courage, elle était en avance sur son temps, elle est restée vraie toute sa vie, une très belle âme, une voix sublime et irremplaçable, le monde est fade sans elle, Sinéad je t'aime infiniment, ❤❤❤ , tu es dans ma tête jusqu'à mon dernier jour.
We were fortunate. NBC goons will have it removed soon enough probably. Tysm, OP. I was 22 at the time and I missed the performance. I remember being disgusted even then at the hypocrisy of the industry and the magnitude of the public outcry.
Sinead was not afraid to speak her mind. The so called Catholic church ruined billions of live like mine my mother a priest lock up . She was extremely utterly amazingly beautiful tallented person. She be missed never forgotten . condolences to her family. Rest in peace. You free of your pain . 🌹💚
She was as effin terrified as anyone would feel. That she did it anyways, while the rest of us would choose to stay safe in our silence lest we have our safe lives upended, she did it anyhow. That is the mark of courage in doing what is just, despite absolutely knowing you may very well lose in the end. She was terrified bhut she chose to do the right thing.
The beginning of her downward spiral that ultimately led to her death. What a brave thing she did speaking out about something that most people wanted to keep quiet at the time. Rest easy, Sinead.
I beg your pardon? one defiant act against a nest pedophiles was not the start of a downward spiral. it was her mastering aspects of childhood trauma and growing up in a very strict and hypocritical religious country. She wasn't out of control all of her life. She wasn't unwell all of her life. She was a sky tearer, a deeply spiritual loving gal. Oh and a masterful artist. It's shallow folk like yourself trying to fathom a women of her depths that do such a disservice to what her life amounted to. Her life was not a journey towards the moment she couldn't cope with her son's suicide. You've garnered 81 mindless likes, now remove your poorly informed comment.
I would stay up past my bedtime and watch SNL with my dad. I was 6 when we watched this live on TV. My dad was a recovering ex-Catholic and he laughed when she tore up that picture!
She was a beautiful revolutionary soul. Her strength was immeasurable. She did not care who she offended, she told the truth no matter the consequences. She is a hero many don't even know existed, they think she was just a person with a few hits.
I was 15. I was born and raised in France. I would learn what SNL is not before, I think, 2002. And yet, I remember it was on the news. She never was. Never heard about her. But suddenly on French TV « singer Sinead O’Connor ripped apart a picture of the Pope… ». She didn’t know how powerful that was. Neither did the frontiers.
The Truth is always shut down by the uncertain and the fearful and those at fault. Vale and Thankyou Sinead ❤ If people don't challenge Evil Goes on and on ...
Peace be unto you Sinéad. Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. Albert Einstein
I was 11 when this happened and was told that she was just a nutcase, but now as an adult I understand what she was fighting for…but she was completely cancelled after this 😢
With age comes wisdom. I thought she was odd as well. But now I see she's a movement. As an lgbtqia. And look the Catholic church would come under scrutiny here too.
I would’ve clapped for her. Bunch of wusses in the audience. RIP Senead…im sorry you were so misunderstood and dragged through the mud by not only the media but by your peers and family.
That's amazing, just imagine the music Sinead and Prince could have made, he was against all the wrongs she just sang about! It's too bad they couldn't get along that one night! He was a protest singer too!

One of the most iconic performances in SNL history. RIP.

Incredible song, so true. Her performance brings tears to my eyes! RIP Bob and Sinead!
The most iconic & influential act of punk rock & protest I've ever witnessed. Ireland lost a legend in Sinead. RIP.
Wasnt that infront of a live audience?? Dead silence. That was so cold and she fought through it.
They turned the applause sign off
They turned off the applause sign, and muted the audiences microphone so that there wasn’t any sound.
Did SNL ever apologise for banning her for life? If not, why not?
Because they are still and always will be panderers to popularity.
We live in America, and tons of ppl still like the pope. We have also stigmatized talking out against people's imaginary friends, for some reason.
They are all predators themselves and protect their own.
SNL, being...well...what it is, they're not likely innocent themselves.
Because they're part of the problem

Truth. Raw, passionate Truth.
Thank you Sinead for ripping that picture up. I will rip up the pope pic in solidarity with you ❤
Did you do it? 😁
In her book she said the picture was her Mothers and she knew at some point she wanted to destroy it, but she was waiting for the right time to do it.
Sad
Sinead was fearless. Her presence is missed. She was to good for her record label, to good for this Earth. She was right about many things. 🙏 RIP
One of the bravest people in today's modern world. Sinead, now we realize you were right, and you were way ahead of your time. Continue the fight of good versus evil!
If you watch the biography of Sinead, You will understand the Whole Matter of her Act. All I could say: Way To Go SINEAD! FIGHT!

So incredibly powerful, thank you Sinéad O'connor RIEP beautiful soul 🙏

Now she’s a safe (read dead) artist the same people at SNL who gave her a lifetime ban for this will be lauding her courage.
Oh very probably. Unless Lorne says not to

Amazing!
Incredibly brave of her. This was a potentially career ending stunt and Inthink she was well aware of it.
It pretty much did end her career here in the US. No one here could handle the truth, 30 years ago.
Now, we know she was right.

Like the film when Jack Nickolson turns to Tom Cruise and says "YOU can't handle the Truth"
