"Irish singer and activist Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56"

Known for her single "Nothing Compares 2 U," written by Prince.

Also known for tearing up a picture of the Pope on SNL.

RIP

Shocking - as she was just putting out music (I'll hold off on stating if any of it was good).

And while odd when she did rip up the Pope John Paul's picture, who really knew at the time that she was more in the right?

EDIT: in looking at Wiki, little bit of an estranged story with Prince, who did write her only hit.

Can't really say I was a fan but her song did go to number 1 around the world.

Well, Prince's song, she just sang it, right.

True, but she made it famous.

DocL · 07-26-2023, 02:49 PM

I never liked her music. Oh well.

Esteban · 07-26-2023, 02:57 PM

She had a song “I Want Your Hands On Me” in a Freddy Krueger Movie “Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.” Me and my kids were fans of the Freddy movies.

Although it's never good form to diss the dead, she was an odd bird. Even by Irish standards. And I did enjoy some of her music.

infinitekidM2C · 07-26-2023, 03:25 PM

Everyone liked one or more of her songs. Don't lie

Don’t know if you’re referring to me or not but I said I wasn’t a fan. Wouldn’t say that’s disrespecting her.

Haha, I don’t think the world revolves around me Jane, but I did start the thread, so assumed you meant me.

After reading your post again I see that you were referring to yourself.

Who?

She also was famous for refusing her Grammy for singing that. Many have covered the same song and and has been decent as well.

56 is far to young to die. Father passed at 54 and I am happy to say I out lived him, I am 56.

Don't think I'd consider ‘decent’ and ‘world number 1 song’ in the same ballpark.

Like I said, not really a fan and personally, didn't like the song. Maybe I’m the odd bird since it did go to number 1.

One of my fav songs of all time is Conjure One Tears of the Moon

Always sad when anyone dies at such a young(ish) age, she changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat in 2018 and with her son committing suicide after running away from a hospital I guess she went downhill quickly.

floridaorange · 07-27-2023, 09:25 AM

In 2017, she changed her legal name to Magda Davitt, a name she took to be "free of parental curses." She changed her name again in 2018 to Shuhada' Davitt, after announcing her conversion to Islam following a series of posts at the time that included O'Connor singing the Islamic call to prayer.

Whaddya mean? His bedside manner is impeccable!

Honestly, I never listened to her, so it doesn't really make a difference to me either. Lots of people die everyday, she's just another one to me.
