To me, she was a saint, a prophet, deeply kind, deeply passionate and terribly misunderstood. Tragic life she endured. I think she just got tired of living. Rest in Peace, dear Sinead..
She never recovered from her son's death. It was too much for her.
Gift from god🕊
When she tore up the picture of the Pope on snl it permanently damaged her career. She was protesting the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church before it was widely known that the church was protecting the pedophiles. I always felt like she was owed a huge apology once the scandal blew up. She was speaking the truth.
Thanks for reacting to her 😊
@kimzwolinski9919 It damaged the career that you wanted for her not the career that she wanted for herself.
She was BRAVE!!! She was the first singer male or female to call out the catholic church and Pope John Paul the second on the child abuse that was going on in her native Ireland. The catholic church came out and tried to ban catholics from going to her shows and priests were telling their flocks that they should not buy her album. this was wayyyyy before everything came out about the amount of abuse by priests world wide. she came out on stage against the head of the catholic church in either 90 or 91. SHE DIDNT BACK DOWN AND CONTINUED CALLING THEM OUT EVEN WHEN IT WAS COSTING HER AT HER SHOWS AND IN ALBUM SALES. REST IN PEACE SINEAD, YOU LEFT THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR KIDS THAN WHEN YOU WERE BORN.
I love her version of this song it is more heartfelt especially because she was pouring out her feeling toward her abusive mom after she passed away. This is why Sinead fought hard to put on blast Child Abusers (Her dad also had part in her abuse). She had such a horrible childhood in the hands of very abusive parents. RIP Sweet Angel 😥🙏🦋♥
Check out her performance of ‘Troy’
Thank you from Ireland for your reaction☘
We are mourning our beautiful Daughter Sinéad💔She was a force of nature with unmatched talent, but she was also very fragile. Please react to her live acapella performance of 'I Am Stretched On Your Grave' - a 17th-century Irish poem that she transformed with just her voice and a 'beat box' sample; She was keening for our Country & it is pure perfection.
The media and music industry cruelly shunned her for speaking THE TRUTH about the catholic abuse of innocent Irish children, including herself & she was eventually proven CORRECT - now an acknowledged fact globally.
But the damage was already done to her and her career. I hope they're proud of their relentless victim shaming of a
23 year old girl who was brave enough to speak out.
Rest easy sweet Sinéad - I hope you're finally at peace with your beloved son, Shane💚
Troy and Feel so Different are my favorites but she’s amazing in all of them
She was a beautiful butterfly in an unforgiving world.
Her beautiful Amazing voice , her passion, her style was awesome, incredible , unique artisti. Thank you for this live reaction, One of her best performances.
I'm from Ireland we're all heartbroken I love love love 'Mandinka' what a tune and her version of 'She moves through the fair' is so hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy Susie. Ireland 🇮🇪 RIP Our beautiful song bird.
My favourite Sinead song is Troy.
I wish I had been able to visit before she died. I’m Irish and Scottish but adopted out of one of the Catholic “homes”. I had a pretty tough childhood of abuse but her music kept me from leaving this world. Grateful to be free from the Catholic Church and for the beautiful Irish people who left us their beloved music.
@@karenoneill2748 that's so beautiful what you just said, Troy is gorgeous too I love it! Sounds like you have alot in common with her!!! I urge you to listen to foggy dew and he/she moved through the fair they're so so irish. Love to you lovely lady!
Thank you! God bless Sinead. A beautiful human in every way!
Soo sad she deserved so much more recognition than she got beautiful woman beautiful soul staggeringly beautiful voice RIP ❤
Black Boys on mopeds is one of my favourites. But she did and wrote a whole lot of great songs.
Excellent reaction. She was such an interesting and sincere artist, and yes not many can rock the bald look but she had the perfect facial structure set off by those pretty doe like eyes. I was going to respond to your comment addressed toward another person below, in regards to you not knowing much about why people disliked her etc but I figured I would just place it here. She was incredible, a beautiful soul tenfold over and far ahead of her time. I was born right on the year of 1990 so I didn't witness much of her career until my mother told my siblings and I about Sinead and the horrible shite she experienced for speaking her truth. She has a documentary out presently titled "Nothing Compares" it reveals so much about her otherwise very private personal life, in which she was sexually abused as a child by her own mother ...some of the details are incredibly graphic and rather sickening. But if you wish to know more about her and what she endured, absolutely check it out.
She was essentially one of, if not the first notable or well-known figure to experience cancel culture. she performed on a 1992 showing of Saturday Night Live, where she then tore up a picture of the Pope, declaring "Fight the real enemy" this was her protest against the sexual abuse of children within the Catholic church. This created an uproar within the industry and a lot of the world. This in turn resulted in her being abused publicly, egged, booed off stage at a Bob Dylan Anniversary concert, mocked and ridiculed by Frank Sinatra, Madonna, and even Joe Pesci who the week after the incident on SNL said he would have "given her such a smack and then grabbed her by her eyebrows"..to which the studio audience applauded. the bullshite part is that all these years later it was confirmed the Pope and the Catholic church had been sexually violating and abusing children for years. furthermore, the Catholic Church of Ireland was blasted in 2019 after the remains of over 700-800 infants and children were found within an unused sewage tank. Its horrendous and the fact Sinead was still not given an apology despite everything she laid claim to being true... it is disgusting. Last year she lost her son to suicide at the age of 17. this clearly took a toll on her, put to that the trauma and her own subsequent mental illness health battles... she had so much on her shoulders, and it wasn't until now, that the majority of her industry peers and society came out to finally show her gratitude for speaking her truth, a truth no doubt saving countless lives and further years of systematic sexual abuse of children within the Catholic church.
Beautifully written and beautifully said!
We must ALSO add that in her mid-teens, she was sent to the Magdalene Laundries for 2 years, where she personally experienced church abuse.
Listen to her song "Troy" live at the Pinkpopfestival in 1988 in Landgraaf, the Netherlands.....I was there and still got goosebumps everytime I hear and see this performance.
I agree..that rendition of Troy is breath taking
Little Irish lass comes out with just a guitar: "WTF is this???"
After she is done: "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
RIP Sinéad 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Never saw a live version before… I couldn’t stop my tears from falling! Such an amazing voice, her greatness to show herself so vulnerable leaves me speechless!
R.I.P. at least all the terrible pain she was suffering all her life has an end! I will miss this beautiful woman ❤
Love sinead so heartbreaking rip beautiful lady xxxx
Sinead and Freddie Mercury are the most expressive singers ever. No auto tune good singers don't need it.
Sam Cooke and Prince were wayyy better singers
@@kaula300 everyone has their favorites.
Nice reaction🔥
"Nothing Compares 2 U" (1990)
was actually a song written by another late great artist, Prince (R.I.P. ☔🕊️) back in 1985.
Sinead (pronounced Shin-AID) covered it five years later to worldwide acclaim and was the #1 song in 17 countries.
As this live performance showed, Sinead was a generational music talent; a passionate, emotional performer with a powerful, beautiful, and timeless voice that resonated with many over the years (and for years to come).
Sinead lived a hard, tumultuous life, having to endure an abusive childhood and mental problems.
Sinead also was a firebrand who was not afraid to stand by in what she believed in, which put her in hot water situations.
One infamous moment was when Sinead was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live back in 1992, and sung a riveting acapella version of Bob Marley's "War" (1976).
Sinead then proceeded to rip a picture of Pope John Paul II and subsequently saying "Fight the real Enemy" much to the stunned silence of the crowd.
This was Sinead's call for the end to child abuse that was happening within the Catholic Church, which, at the time, was not being acknowledged by the Pope and the majority of the world.
This being 1992, it led to immense public backlash, vilifying Sinead and casting her as a pariah.
Years later, the Catholic Church finally acknowledged that there was widespread abuse and cover-up within the denomination.
Songs I suggest:
"Troy" (1987)
"Mandinka" (1987)
"I Want Your (Hands on Me)" (1987) Famously in the film "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" (1988) and features MC Lyte)
"Jump in The River" (1988) my personal favorite)
"The Emperor's New Clothes" (1990)
"Feels So Different" (1990)
"The Last Day of Our Acquaintance" (1990)
"I Am Stretched on Your Grave" (1990)
"Three Babies" (1990)
"Black Boys on Mopeds" (1990)
"Fire on Babylon" (1994)
"He Moved Through The Fair" (1997)
"No Man's Woman" (2000)
R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor 🕊️
Bit hypocritical of her , where was she when her 17-year-old son committed suicide 🙄
What the hell does that mean?
I couldnt of put it any better for her Thank you! Rest in peace Sinead
Also a track from the Daniel Day Lewis film "In the Name of the Father"
You can really feel the deepness of the emotions she is putting into this beautiful song.. absolutely stunning..
the sad thing about her stunning careeer is the fact, that she is always limited on this song, but she was so much more, a truly artist, a fighter for human rights, a protest singer, beyond her time, funny, sensitive and always authentic, I love her so much and I still miss her, forever Love, R.I.P beautiful soul 🥲

Prince wrote this song. It's gorgeous!
prince wrote this but after hearing her he said it is no longer his song it is hers --- she lived her life free and said what she felt when most where to scared to speak she did RIP my free girl
Oh Sinead....beautiful woman, beautiful voice...
"Three Babies" from the same album shows off her vocal range.
Fire on Babylon is amazing. About her mother
You should listen to "Troy" and "Mandika" for the full experience. She died of a broken heart because she lost her son. She was an original artist and I will never forget her beautiful face and her combat boots and her defiance. RIP
Beautiful face,outstanding vocals,her albums are so heartfelt, check her channel out,RIP Sinead & be with your son shane,sadly missed,can't believe she's gone xxxxxx great reaction too.
Check out her other albums she is unbelievable. Rest in peace Sinead you will be forever missed ❤
Woz he living under a rock, listen to her first single the epic "Troy" she has 10 albums, love my Irish Sinead 💜
When the record label told her she should grow her then short hair longer she said fuck that went across the street to a barber and had him shave her head. She was gonna make it on her born and well developed talent and not on record label T & A promos. She wasn't gonna sell her music with sex and they had to deal with it because she was fierce.
I tear up almost every time I hear this song, it's so beautiful.
troy (a masterpiece composed at 19). the clip is also fantastic. the song is out of this world.
She was an incredibly talented human being! ❤ RIP
This was before auto-tune. There will never be another like her. I hope that she has found peace and is reunited with her son
Try “Black boys on mopeds”. She was a protest singer at heart.
"Mandinka" was a big hit in 1987 for Sinead O'Connor. Her debut album, THE LION & THE COBRA had some great tracks on it. Back then autotune didn't exist. I recommend "Jackie", "Just Like You Said It Would Be", "Jerusalem" and "I Want Your Hands On Me".
Some Irish names starting with S are pronounced Sh so its actually Shi (i as in hit)-nade. An amazingly talented & brave person with soul searching eyes. Yet also lived with mental Health issues. We dont know how she died, yet hopefully, if we can learn anything from losing her at too young an age, it will be to discuss MH issues more openly & with less shame & stigma & also that required treatment will become easier to access. That would be a great tribute to her & her poor son who tragically died last year by suicide at the tender age of 17. Her talent will unquestionably live on. Try listening to her version of a traditional Irish song 'She moved through The Fair" which was part of the Soundtrack for the film Michael Collins.
Beautiful and sad all at once 😢
Check out "Take Me 2 Church." It's a song about how she felt about singing love songs. Fantastic song.
She shaved her hair off because her record producer said she was pretty & pretty sells records....she hated that! she wanted to be known for her incredible voice so she shaved it off, good for her, she was a tortured soul , but incredibly brave, R.I.P Sinead....Xx
Her shaving it had something to do with her sister. That's what I heard her say. But who knows.
@@jeremyEasley-kc6wz no it was to do with the record producers sexualising young woman in the music industry so that's why she shaved it off...to protest....
She sang Connor MaGregor entrance song.............
This beautiful soul past a month a go 😢
Check out Sinead's song 'TROY . A masterpiece.
Pure style
Troy should be next ( live ) it's a must reaction if you react to Sinead. R.I.P. 😢🖤
❤️
You need to check out one of the videos of her singing “Troy” live.
I would recommend checking out Mandinka, Troy, Three Babies, A Drink Before The War, I Am Stretched On Your Grave, John I Love You and pretty much anything she recorded. She was one of the greatest, and most criminally under appreciated, artists of all time. We truly have lost one of the most courageous, loving and beautiful, in every sense of the word, human beings who has ever lived.
I loved that you listened to this live version of it which is probably the most amazing… her video is also worth checking out although she lets it loose on the live version ….
The original song was written and performed by Prince. The lyrics are the same except the entire song was referring to a woman so all the pronouns were female . So when you hear him sing it- the mama refers to the woman he loves
Sinead used the same lyrics but changed “ the arms around every girl I see “ to “ boy I see. It would appear at first that she was talking about a guy she was in love with for this song- however the lyrics in the 3rd verse will throw you off because she uses “ mama “ ….. she said in interviews that she thinks of her mom when she sings the song. Her mother was abusive then died in a car accident when she was 18. She tapped into that pain when she sang the song. She also admitted that the tears at the end of the video wasnt planned and that she was thinking of her mother when she cried. 💔
RIP Sinead 🙏🏼
If no one told you about her background well its very dark and bot good, as to the whole reason she shaved her head. I wouldnt want anyone to go through what she did
Her Version was the Best version❤
The Late Late on Irish tv she sang Dylan's The Times They are a-Changing, no rehearsal, told the producer she'd sing only 15min before the show. Magical
I think you should give the actual video a try. There you will see her raw emotions with a camera in a close up shot the entire video. It’s worth your time to view it.
Try listening to the thief of my heart from the soundtrack of the film the Name of the Father. It's really powerful.
You have to check out "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance" - also the live version from "The year of the horse" dvd 1990
I know you are young but it is hard to believe you haven't heard this song before.
It’s the truth! My brother was shocked as well, which is why he thought it’d be a good idea to check it out on here. I’ve always heard her name, i just couldn’t match it too a song 🎵
Record executives told her to grow her hair longer and wear short skirts. She went to the barber shop
another song live would be"feeling so different"
Prince wrote this song in 1984. Sinead O’Connor did this cover version in 1990. It went to no.1 in the UK charts and no.1 in 17 other countries. She tweaked the script slightly to make it a female version. The part she had tears in (All the flowers that you planted, Mama, in the backyard….) was when she was thinking about her mum in that moment, who died in a car crash in 1985. Three weeks before that accident, Sinead wanted to forgive her Mum for all the abuse she gave her. She had a very difficult life with her mum, and wanted to forgive her, but it was too late. All the other lyrics in this song (written by Prince) wasn’t about her life. She chose this song because she loved it herself.
If someone hasn't mentioned it already, have a listen to 'This is A Rebel Song'. I'm sure you'll love it.
Another amazing song of Sinead's is 'TROY'. Check it out you will be amazed.
Live version of Troy!!
Powerful! 😲🥰😇 "Rest in Peace", Dear Sinead xoxoxoxox
- I've thought about Sinead untold times, especially since her YT video from her Motel Room a while back where she shared her honest & personal pain she was going through, a definite Red Flag to her family, I think, as she actually asked someone in her family to contact her! Over the last 18 mths I have felt concerned how Sinead would hold out since the passing of her son Shane. Then about 10 days ago I saw her online talking stuff updating her "fans" etc. about how she had all but finished her next Album, 'some what relieved she had nearly completed her Album & then this. 😇🥰
Check out Troy from the PinkPop festival, tho it may feel long and repetitive for todays attention span it does reward you in the end. But her whole video DVD performances are out of this world, Value of Ignorance and Year of the Horse. Underrated moments of music history.
Her name is pronounced Shinayd xxx
My apologies, thanks for the correction!
And another version of this: "Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium".
Many of her songs are phenomenal, Troy, Jackie, fire on Babylon, the emperors new clothes, mandika, omg listen to "in this heart", her cover of don't cry for me Argentina. Please get her cds and have a listen
😭😭❤❤❤
Диана..Анкудинова..шикарный..голос..❤
U need to do the official video
I really enjoyed your reaction! You should definitely watch a live performance of her singing, a Mandinka and Troy.
Thanks Catherine 🙂 you’re not the first person to request that, so I’ll check it out! Stay tuned!!
Check Drink before the war. It’s amazing
Pronounced Shin-aid as in sure or Sean there is a H sound. Do a video on the official version of this song please.
Sinead- irish. Sh nade
Mandinka is her best song especially live.
Most great singers if not all of them are better live than studio released versions.
Listen to 'Emperor's new clothes' & 'the last day of our acquaintance' same album
Sínead pronounced : [ shin aid ]
Check out Troy live and Jerusalem...
There was no auto tune back then😂
Her voice really is piercing for sure. Her amazingly unique voice is enhanced by her authentic Irish accent. You really should have tried to pronounce her name correctly: it’s Sinéad that’s Shin-aid. Try “This is the Last Day of Our Acquaintance.” Sláinte
sinead is prouncounced shin aid
hi...if you really wanna learn bout sinead check out her on youtube...she was crying out...if i already didnt have a broken heart seeing her crying would have broken it.....thank you
Hello! I heard a lot about her story and what all she stood for! I’ll definitely be checking more of her work out 🙂
Of course no auto tune. In the 80's and 90's you had to have talent to be a famous singer.
Sorry i have to correct you it's pronounced shi-nay but if you do other songs by her definitely check out take me to church, it starts out as this song drink before war and foggy dew are her best theres others but those are going to be your top
TROY
first time???..where the hell have u been?????
My brother said the same thing 🤣 I just never really listened to this kind of music, and don’t remember hearing it anywhere
React to Kate Bush wuthering heights amazing she's a ghost that's come back for her lover
If her son Shane were still alive she would be too. Go codladh tú go sámh a Shinéaid. Ní bheidh do leithéid ann aríst.
The Official Video of this song is better in my opinion trust me go and watch that one as well see what you think.
Not sure i would call her voice beautiful here, but the video is amazingly beautiful!
There is only like 1 million reaction video to the original version, and only that version.
Let people branch out some ffs.
To pronounce an Irish name you have to be very careful from my experience. 'Sinead' is said differently to how you said it, check out some Irish names, they're beautiful & you might learn something.
Fun fact: In the 1990's there were loads of people from my Country, NZ naming their daughter's "Sinead" & their sons "Conner"
Siobhán ( pronounced Shavon ) comes to mind 😊
Different alphabets / different takes ...
@@deepbluehue3 Yes & the young actress Saoirse Ronan who has acted in many movies since the first one I saw her in called "Lovely Bones", Director, Peter Jackson!
Anyhow, Saoire" sounds a lot like 'Sir-sha'. Also, I remember when the names both & 'Siobhan' & 'Sinead' became very popular names worldm in the early 1990's & there was a member from Bananarama & her name was "Siobhan" & a lot of people Loved it! In my Country, New Zealand, I have seen other ways it's been spelt, such as Shavaughn", [I suppose it helps make sense for the Kiwi brain, lol!]
@@HerriCaine Saoirse always says in interviews ... " Saoirse like inertia " ... ha
Great Song By the way check out Chris Cornell version
Great voice but I didn’t like her one bit 🤷♀️💯🤗
I don’t know much about her, so can I ask why? I’m just curious 👀
@@OffTopReactionsNevermind her ignorant reaction. Sinéad was a brave teller of truth, a warrior for human rights, a humanitarian, spoke about child abuse in the Catholic church before anyone else etc. She was highly empathatic and just a very giving and gentle soul. Truly one of a kind.
@@OffTopReactions She was (and still is through her music) a truth-teller and people don't like truth-tellers, especially when it's to call out the pope helping to cover up the child sex abuse scandal within the catholic church, which was pretty prevalent in Ireland. Instead of being punished they just moved them to another parish. She also didn't want the US national anthem played at her gig (in protest to the US bombing of a civilian bomb shelter in Iraq during the Gulf War killing a couple hundred a third of whom were children). She was anti-war, anti-abuse. She was abused in every way possible from the time she was an infant to when she was 13 or 14 by her mother (as well as multiple men during the same period). The backstory of this song (originally by Prince) was that Sinéad who had forgiven her mother at 14-16, had stopped talking to her because she asked her why she abused her (and her siblings) and she denied anything had ever happened, so Sinéad stopped talking to her and hadn't been for 9 months, then she heard she had been killed in a car accident a couple of weeks before recording the video for the song - which she was singing to her mother, not about a guy. The video for the song is simple and stunning - it was recorded in one take. Knowing that, you will understand where the passion in her voice was coming from performing this song.
She was eccentric and spoke her mind. She had a hysterectomy 8(ish?) years ago and received no aftercare or hormone replacement therapy which sent her spiralling (like going into full menopause overnight - it would be like if your body just stopped producing testosterone overnight) which seriously damaged relationships and her ex put their son into foster care without her knowing and she basically felt abandoned and made 8 deletion attempts in one year including an infamous facebook live she posted begging for help and for her family to contact her. People love to say 'please talk' and 'it's ok not to be ok' but Sinéad was treated like dirt and again ostracised. She also went from Catholicism then converting to Judaism before 'reverting' to Islam and she was a priest for a while too - which she also got a lot of shite over. I guess she was a bit like the early 90's version of the punching bag the mainstream media turned Britney Spears into which resulted in her shaving her head..Sinéad shaved her head when the record company asked her to grow her pixie cut out. They also tried to pressure her into aborting her firstborn, so if you see the live performance of Mandinka/Troy, that's her son's babygrow tied onto the back of her jeans (an FU to her label) czcams.com/video/TsIoxvkChWw/video.html.
Her son sadly took his life in 2022 and I guess she died of a broken heart.
I would recommend listening to Sinéad's version of The Foggy Dew (Connor McGregor used it for his walkout) czcams.com/video/sU3WoQkjQjQ/video.html
She destroyed her career when she ripped up the pic of the pope but she was abused by her mother, she had severe depression but when her son committed suicide last year it took her out. She couldn't recover from that. It broke her. She just couldn't fight her Demons. May she Rest in Peace!
She battled inner demons for decent chunk of her 56 years. That last one, losing a kid, alone has got to be one of the toughest ones to fight let alone everything else.
@@Taizu314Absolutely!
She did not destroy her career, the media and the music industry destroyed her career for denouncing the protection of pedophiles and child molesters entrenched in the Catholic Church, represented in the figure of the Pope.
