I feel bad for not really taking the time to get to know the artist, but she left us legacy in these interviews. Speaking from behind the grave. May she RIP 🥀 🕯️
She wasn’t crazy or mentally ill she was wounded and trying to heal from horrific abuse by her mom the person who was suppose to protect her. And then she was kicked around by society and treated so unfairly. She was a beautiful soul. She didn’t deserve to be treated this way. I know she’s with her son now living in eternity.❤

_"She wasn’t crazy or mentally ill - she was wounded and trying to heal from horrific abuse "_ I'm pretty sure that to be diagnosed with a mental health illness, you don't need to be born that way. Your mental health can be severely compromised by living life. It was plainly obvious that she struggled with various conditions.

Она не играла в игру, поэтому ей было легко... Трудно было видеть, как играли другие, и чаще всего в подлые игры. От этого рвутся струны.
What a funny intelligent trail blazer she was. Way ahead of her time. Great conversationalist. I could listen to her all day long. May she rest in peace. 🙏😊
George has a unique way of building trust, asking the hard questions in a way that doesn't put the person on the defensive, and without making the interview about himself, which too many hosts tend to do. Fine balancing of breezy questions with hard hitting ones, and the result is a great conversation, rather than interview. George is the only one (of interviewers) who was respectful of Sinead. Seeing her this way makes me love her more than ever. God bless her, her family and those who miss her terribly.
An artist unwilling to be moulded into the norm, a brave soul, a brave woman.
A beautiful lady with an angelic voice❣️ a woman true to our hearts… RIP Sinead❤
Wow. "I would see God and religion as two different things" ... love how simple and honest she is. What a beautiful human.
She was brilliant, strong & beautiful. RIP
Turns out she was right about the Catholic church and everything else. Even if you don't like her or agree with her at least she stood up for what she believed in and used her notoriety to try and make positive changes in society instead of using it to make people buy more stuff the don't need like most other celebrities.

I wonder if we will have another young artist now days like a young Sinead O'Conner, who was not afraid to be her true authentic self. She boldly challenged the big music industry and any system that allowed censorship, opression and injustice. She is such a misunderstood artist and legend. May her transition and journey give her peace and may we all learn from her many years as a protest singer and musician. Thank you for everything Sinead. Rest in Power.

I wonder to what extent the name of the disorder matters…I suppose it does in terms of treatment, but there’s a danger of getting hung up on the label. Whatever it was she seemed to be up and down - she must have been incredibly strong willed to make it through so much; it seems so messy from the outside, but who really knows.

@@user-bp6gp2rc1v true. Everyone is different. I think she was brave but at times she took on too much I believe. The documentary on her is amazing in that regard. I remember hearing about her ripping up the picture of the pope and myself and many others thought (in my Friend group) it was a little attention seeking. How ignorant we were. She knew things. But she martyred herself really over it. It was almost too much to bear for a single person. Poor girl. That start of the documentary and it’s end is trielt heartbreaking.

She was RIGHT!!! It is the finest blades that are most easily blunted, bent, or broken. And thank you for your initial real courage Sinead. Informing the world of factual abuse and atrocities, way before we were prepared to hear it, so forcefully. As an abused child, she refused to roll a blind eye. "Through their own words, they will be exposed!" STRENGTH & COURAGE! And mental illness doesn't mean someone is "crazy or a loonie." Blessings to all! 🥰

Actually, the way she tells the story, she didn’t refuse to perform if they played the national anthem. She talks about it in her new book. People were out to paint her as a bad guy bc she didn’t conform to conventional beauty standards and was a protest singer as opposed to a pop star. I think she has more integrity than most and to me she’s a complete hero. Not to mention a phenomenal singer. Wishing her much success, peace and happiness with her new book and any future music endeavors.

Absolutely fabulous interview! Can’t wait to see him in CA!
She wasn't misunderstood. She was misrepresented by the press. I was 20 years old when she came out with Nothing compares to you and hit me hard. If you you care about what she had to say. Go back and listen to her words.

Outstanding artist and personality. An Irish treasure for sure. R.I.P.
Its a shame that Sinead is no longer with us,she spoek truth to power on so many things and espcially more and more so on mental health and about what got labelled bipolar for her was simply her complex trauma from childhood and all the other shit she had to endure thorughout her career and life being called "crazy"by the press and such like. She was out in lithium for years by psychiatrists which did her absolutely no good at all and was probably toxic like many of the psych meds which are not meant to be taken long term and as a cure all but should be offred in combination with other forms of support and therapy but are often handed out like candy whislt people are told to go away and get on with it. It is sad she is no longer here for so many reasons but I just hope that people will think about others who they see and are so quick to label as mad or crazy...etc and think about what they are saying and what our society still refuses to see all too often its own ills and sickness and then it has the audacity to label others crazy",people like Sinead.
