Sinead O'Connor

[magpie seanie]

fair play to her, she came across well and highlighted a few big concerns for those within the music industry and those 'into' music. Though, if youve only a passing interest in music, it wouldnt mean buck all, but for those interested in music and care what direction the whole industry is going, then it was important.

Come on. It's a bit like saying - our politicians are not really interested in helping the people who elected them and are not doing a good job!!! Newsflash!!! It was a pathetic segment on an increasingly pathetic show. What's she going to do to right this wrong except mouth off like she has done all her life. It was a pointless interview. Obviously RTE thought they were going to get some incendiary Miley Cyrus stuff but they didn't get it, despite Tubridy's repeated attempts.

When Gay Byrne came on it showed you how far that show has sunk and I wouldn't have been anything like his biggest fan.

Due to their frequency, mundane guests flogging books etc, chat shows are outdated, particularly Irish chat shows, where there is a small enough celebrity pool. I assume though the Late Late is still a ratings winner for RTE, regardless of the quality.

I'm not questioning whether or not the show is pathetic etc...I'm agreeing with what she said, whether she said it or not to up her own anti, i couldnt give two hoots. Have not, nor never will attend a concert or buy a CD of hers. However, she is bang on the money regarding Cowell, Louis the wet blanket etc and the current state of the music industry and the one way direction it is headed in...ker ching ker ching. Its your own call whether you agree with sentiments or not, I do, 100%

She is a wingnut and how the hell did she get near the Band Aid song.

From priest to popstar, Sinead O' Connor is taking another career turn into politics.

The controversial singer has announced on her blog that she plans to join Sinn Féin as she would like to see a 'proper socialist Ireland'.

"I'm joining Sinn Féin now. If they'll have me." she wrote.

She expressed her eagerness to learn and her passion to revolt.

"I might not even be the kind of person they want, because I'm gonna write here that I feel the elders of Sinn Féin are going to have to make 'the supreme sacrifice' and step down shortly in the same way the last Pope did" she said.

Sources have said that 'there are some issues that need to be ironed out, shur she can hardly be seen singing a song by someone called Prince, can she now hi?'. She will also have to swear an oath not to tear up pictures of bearded men before full membership is granted.

In other news, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has joined Bananarama.

I's say the Shinners will welcome a free thinker in their ranks, just as the Catholic Church did.

One for the WTF thread.

[Orior]

Like her video, it will only end in tears.

[Tony Baloney]

Well she did have a record called Lay Down Your Arms.

[From the Bunker]

She is a wingnut and how the hell did she get near the Band Aid song.

A lot of pushing and shoving! I'd say! Many of her co-singers on the Band Aid track would hardly know her? Not even the Mullingar lad in One Direction. She is loved by RTE, she must be, they give her huge air.

My immediate reaction was to think that was Waterford Whispers!

[BennyCake]

Attention seeking fcukwit. I wish the media would just ignore her so she would go away.
