I'm crying as I'm listening to this. The world needs a million more Sinead O'Connors -- people with fierce integrity who are willing to speak truth to power, whatever the cost. She was a brilliant artist with the voice of an angel, always true to herself and others. Her presence will be missed. RIP Sinead.

I actually think she could see beyond them. WAY BEYOND them and hence, THAT is why she had her personal issues. Yes, there are many who can't see the forest because of the trees but some can see the forest here, there and where it's headed but sadly can't see their own tree. I don't think anyone can deny that for all the visceral hate she received for SNL, she was the one who could see and we were all the unknowing. SHE was on the right side of history, not us. I just think some can see clearly what others can't and a human being can be so right on so many things & be so stupid & blind to even more.....it's why we are stronger together than alone.

I was sad people turned on her for it. And I thought of that incident many times over the years as information pertaining to the catholic church emerged.

Sending so much love to her now in her passing, to her dear ones as well as heartbroken fans everywhere. That type of energy ricochets through the universe in her wake.

Beauty, brains and courage

I'm shocked and heartbroken to hear that Sinead has died. She was unique, feisty, outspoken, brave, strong - traits that some people are intimidated by if they deem someone to not fit into a neat little category. Sinead couldn't be categorized, luckily, but she also didn't always get the admiration and respect she so deserved. Her voice was absolutely stunning, totally crystal clear and flawless, and she's one of the greatest female singers we'll ever be blessed to have had on this earth. I've always particularly loved this song, Mandinka, which is so energizing and beautifully sung. Nothing Compares To You is her most famous song but Mandinka is just as memorable and burns into the soul. Also, I much preferred Sinead's version of Nothing Compares To You to Prince's original version, much as I also love Prince's music. Sinead brought a heart-rending rawness to the song and, of course, the video was stunning and her beautiful face, huge eyes, was mesmerizing. I'm so sorry that she had such tough times in her life and that her young son tragically died last year, a loss that must have broken her. My heart goes out to her remaining family and we are all behind them, wanting them to know how dear Sinead was to our hearts and how her legacy will live on always. Rest in Peace Sinead, thank you so much for your beautiful music, and you'll always be remembered. x

I’ll never forget this song I was 8 years old in Ireland 🇮🇪 1988 fascinated I was as I was having a tough childhood myself and this song was quite comforting to me rest in peace Sinead one in a billion heartbroken 💔

Sad she's gone. THE LION AND THE COBRA (which I got way back in my 20s when it was released) was one of those albums i just played over and over, wailed to, emoted to, danced to. Sinead had a pair of the most beautiful eyes God ever made. I wish her life had been happier, but thanks, Sinead, for your voice and songs.

I bought this when I was 17 and it still sounds relevant today 34 years later.

There has never been a human being ,before or since Sinead , who was packed so full of sheer force and strength , fury , and yet such gorgeous fragility.. 1000% human being. I love u and thank u Sinead. Rest easy my sister...
