Sinead O'Connor

[AZOffaly]

Much better You could have said something like 'Her voice brings to mind the morning dew gently falling from a newly blossomed snow drop'.

[seafoid]

She was ahead of the curve in pointing out the terrible child abuse scandals in Ireland - she was doing that a long time before the Murphy and Ryan reports...

She sings the best version of the Offaly Rover ever, and loves a nice big carvery...up the Biffs!!

She elevated the video form to art with one of the rawest performances every put on camera...

And she now has serious mental health problems, which most people would understand makes her behavior erratic and would hope that she receives the best treatment for.

Attention seeker or publicity whore she is not.

She was always opposed to hypocrisy and injustice and she knows how the music business and power work.
A lot of what she says is insightful. But she is persecuted by her demons

Edit done. 

Just see that she has posted an open letter on facebook - very sad and twisted stuff, the tragic thing is she seems to realize at times just how out there she is traveling, mental illness is such a curse.

Er, maybe someone should just confiscate her iPad. That would sort the Facebook rants out.

Nah, the first way was much better, easytiger.  Put into words how I've always felt about her voice.

She's ok again apparently. Some 'stupid bitch in Swords garda station' overreacted.

[Main Street]

It should be clear to anybody with an ounce of experience that Sinead is well across the edge of mental and emotional balance.
Perhaps irish people are subjectively selective  when it comes to being aware and supportive of such individuals, regardless of  their popular profile.
If one chooses  not to be aware and supportive, then  the next best stance is just ignore.
When a character who we called "bang bang" came down main street in our town shooting an imaginary gun up into the heavens when it rained  we kind of got the impression that "bang bang" was just being "bang bang" and it was all just a part of town life that he let loose on occasions.

"This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada'"

Shuhada means martyrs in Arabic
