Mad as a box of frogs. Wasn't she ordained as a Catholic priest a few years back...?

It seems that she's yet to understand the basic tenets of any religion that she tries. You know, the stuff about showing love, compassion and tolerance. :BangHead:

Sad to see someone with mental health issues.

The high profile given to this is a great example of the celebrity fixated culture of the 21st century.

Much the same way as the media focus on the recent tragic helicopter crash has been on the Leicester City players. Don't get me wrong, I sympathise with what they are going through, but everyone else involved is way off the media radar.

Absolutely agree but Sinead o connor has never been a celebrity, she had one hit with a song written by Prince & that was it.

It works both ways. Celebrities use the various media to push their own agendas, promote their latest book/film/tour...or in her case, just to get attention.

She's had quite a few hits actually and she does have a bloody good voice. Shame she's an absolute crackpot though.

She was, but not by a priest that's entitled to do so. She then 'donated' £150k to his church or directly to him, can't remember.

The basic tenet of any religion, even Satanism, can be summed up simply as 'Don't be a ladyparts'. Yes, a bit coarse, I know, and I apologise for that but it's basically spot on.

If you like fingernails scraped down a blackboard
Nothing wrong with being a crackpot unless you are a terrorist sympathiser.
I cannot stand the woman and wouldn’t cross the road to piss on her if she was on fire. I’m not even convinced she’s nuts; I’m actually wondering if she’s a pathological attention whore and is one step ahead of everyone else because she always seems to catch people unawares.

Anyhoo, my point is that I don’t like the woman but I have to concede she does have an excellent voice. You’re allowing yourself to be blinded by your actual dislike of her and you’re not being objective.

Ah, so you assume to know my musical tastes? When she released ncty it was different & I will admit I liked it however it was over played & finally wore me down so whenever it comes on the radio I reach for the off button

I don't assume anything, Dezza (probably best not to if your alleged dress sense is anything to go by :D). Her song 'Mandinka' was much better than NCTY but, that said, I don't listen to radio stations where they play shit like that. Try aceradio.net , online only, and a great set of sub-stations to choose from. Even though the adverts get a bit annoying, the Hard Rock channel is brilliant.

I read this story elsewhere. Despite her apparent dislike of whites it seems she is collaborating on a new EP with a group of white artists/producers. A total nut-job if you ask me.
