Sinéad O'Connor on Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Mark Ronson - Phil Marriott Interview (2014)

[@BoysOnFilm]

I was heartbroken to hear of the recent passing of Sinéad O'Connor earlier this month. I've been a fan of Sinéad's work since I first saw her perform Mandinka in 1987. I was blown away by her debut album THE LION AND THE COBRA and I admired the way she spoke out for people who didn't have a voice and were unable to speak up about injustice. I hope you enjoy listening to this interview, recorded for Gaydio in 2014 when I was a presenter for the radio station.

Thank you for publishing as I'm still in denial that the gifted woman who sang with her heart, soul and entire being. 💔🙏🏻🤲is gone to God. RIP We love you

[@belindamontgomery8693]

Thank you for posting. I'm gutted by the news and I'm so sad that I was so unaware of her constant up hill battle. TRAUMA is a killer and extremely difficult to recover from. Rest in Power our dear Sinead. 💔😥🙏

Lion and Cobra was everything!

[@GaryTornado-zy2mz]

I don’t have a child and I’m male but I couldn’t even begin to imagine the debilitating sadness a mother even one as strong as they come like Sinead was feeling Rest In Power Lioness❤

[@BoysOnFilm]

Absolutely.

[@skygazer6898]

Sinead's voice was a gift from God Great interview

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you. You are right! Her voice was like no other.

[@95KIPPIE]

She was just amazing all the way around! A special human being, truer than most!

[@BoysOnFilm]

Agreed. She was a genuinely honest soul.

[@crisvelundertale2159]

Sinéad O'Connor and Lady Gaga

[@BoysOnFilm]

Definitely. I think Sinéad could see the punk spirit in Gaga.

[@steveleeart]

I could have seen Gaga and O’Connor having done something together and it would’ve been amazing 🎉🎉🎉

My two favourite female singers. Extraordinary talent

Isn’t ghastly gah gah Helliweird satanick masonick, demonick, entertainment industry created, gender inverted male deceiver sellout,allegedly? What on earth would he allegedly have in common with sinead, allegedly?

[@robertmotyka133]

Lady Gaga seems to be a lovely, interesting person, she has an incredible visual side to her art and the most boring, generic pop songs. I knew her visuals and when I heard her music I couldn't believe how uninspiring and factory-produced her music is. She is nothing like Sinead, who rejected the visuals side and produced incredible music over the years.

[@lorelei5902]

I'm going to miss this woman so much

[@divatalk9011]

This was such a uplifting part of her career, great music, great interviews, overall amazing and i thiught this was a turning point in her life.

[@sanctuary70]

I was SO glad to hear that, like me, she felt that Amy Winehouse was one of kind. And that's who comes to mind when i heard of SINEAD'S falling asleep. As a singer-songwriter myself, i believe in DELIVERY BEING EVERYTHING. You CANNOT deliver what you know NOTHING about, and therefore, do not FEEL. I've lost a SISTER and fellow artist. But i was the one that picked up my guitar, and walked away from fame, and in so doing, frustrated some huge names . I saw first-hand what fame does. The price was too high. SINEAD O'CONNOR SPOKE TRUTH TO THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON THE PLANET... David vs Goliath. And THAT was the LOUDEST SONG SINEAD DID yell. "FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY!" 💔☘🥀🕯🕶🎶

[@Annette-hs5gk]

❤️

[@Annette-hs5gk]

Fight the real enemey. She was beyond her time that pure strong soul. One of a kind. Well Said. She is my lioness. Rip sinead i love you❤️💫🇧🇻🌹👑

[@Littlegem125]

Very Very sad i loved sinead her beauty & voice were phenomenal i will surely miss her,been a fan since the 1980' the way she shunned for speaking the truth,shame on the Americans,so not fair,RIP sinead with your beloved son shane my heart is broken 💔 😢 xxxx

[@BoysOnFilm]

I've been listening to her music a lot since her passing, but then I've always listened to her music like you have. It's comforting to have her music now.

[@janetclaireSays]

What a great interview. Thank you for reposting this, I don't know if I would have found it otherwise.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you Janet. Glad you enjoyed listening to it.

[@hawkjupiter]

Thank you for posting this. You had a respect and appreciation for her body of work and it was so nice to hear her receiving questions that acknowledged her vast recording and performance career.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you. I am a big fan of Sinead's - ever since I first heard The Lion and the Cobra. What a woman!

[@JaneKellie-ku3gn]

I'm still sore on learning of Sinead's Passing. Thankyou Phil Marriott for Your Sharing Such A Passionate & A Great Line Up Of World Renowned. Song Writer's & Musicians Interviews. This Is A 'Time Captual ' Moment. Lady Gaga & All Other Female Musician Artists Mentioned Are All Strong Women . ( with best regards to all concerned, from Liverpool England UK 👏👍🏼👏👍🏼✌️).

Thank you. She was a great example of a powerful woman.

Tremendous and insightful interview. Thank you!

[@BoysOnFilm]

Glad you thought so. Thank you so much for letting me know.

[@lindyb8718]

Best relaxed interview ..well done

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you. I seem to remember on the day how relaxed she was. I was self-conscious that maybe she didn't enjoy my company, but on reflection after revisiting this chat I think she was comfortable.

[@canicel4454]

Fantastic, great insight to her musical talents. Without the headline grabbing stupid questions that interviews seem obligated to ask.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback. Listening back to my interview now I am sad that I was rushing through it. I only had 13 minutes to chat and I was aware of this. So many questions...not enough time.

[@user-vy7er7oe1e]

I can't get her and her music out of my mind. I think she would of made an excellent actress as well.

[@thefionamclaughlin]

She had a part in the butcher boy

[@dtzjones2222]

She was in the film hush a bye baby

[@BoysOnFilm]

She did act although not many people realise. It was overlooked, sadly.

[@dtzjones2222]

@@BoysOnFilm Let's face it there was alot of prejudice towards Sinéad it's just not right to treat her like that.I enjoyed your interview she was relaxed in most other interviews i could just tell she didn't want to be there they just ask the same questions pope nc2u prince mental health it's sickening. You asked her about her music which she was thrilled about your one of the good ones Thank you

Beyoncé is a great performer. She can’t touch Sinead or Amy for raw authentic emotional artistry.

[@gilaliz1970]

Beyonce is manufactured trash in the USA corruption scene. sorry.

[@IYU60]

Sinead is a diamond, a nugget, she's definitely not from our dirty planet! She is clean, honest, and has never buckled under anyone! Ireland, you didn't save her! You didn't give her a helping hand, but only oppressed her as a person! She has glorified your country! although you are a very small country. Sinead, she put her soul into every song, and when she performed, she lived it. Each of her songs is a MASTERPIECE!!! SHE has no equal!Шинейд это алмаз, самородок, она точно не с нашей грязной планеты! Она чистая, честная,и никогда не под кого не прогибалась! Ирландия, вы её не уберегли! Вы, не протянули ей руку помощи, а только угнетали, как личность! А, она вашу страну прославила! хотя вы очень маленькая страна. Шинейд, свою душу вкладывала в каждую песню, а когда исполняла проживала её. Каждая её песня это ШЕДЕВР!!! ЕЙ нет равных! 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏

[@BoysOnFilm]

She was an original.

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

So sad that Sinead HAD to be a WARRIOR 24/7 for her own Safety, to the extent that she says she couldnt feel safe dressed in a conventionally feminine way in the music industry, and the men who preyed upon her in her private/medical life. No wonder she felt safer with gay men.

[@tcali7052]

I would love to find a video of Sinead performing with Israel vibration at brixton academy! Is this available anywhere?

The Empress Siena’s, self-proclaimed wise woman, killed herself and her son killed himself- the Empress of Superior Understanding had no clothes.

[@susanray7181]

What are you talking about? Have you got any proof or inside information about Sinead’s cause of death? Because neither the family nor the authorities have disclosed that information as of when I’m writing this 14 October 2023. We’d all really like to know, so please expand on how you know Sinéad died by suicide.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Wrong. Sinéad died from natural causes.

[@song-rz6hi]

She was so confident in her sexuality- reallY? Her son killed himself under her wise sexual guidance, and she killed herself. What a wise woman!

[@BoysOnFilm]

Stop judging. Did you know her?

[@susanray7181]

Please, tell us how you know Sinéad died by suicide.

[@song-rz6hi]

Very confused, absurdly self-assured, self-tormented human being who loved blaming society for her own confusion.

[@BoysOnFilm]

Because society is perfect, right?

[@susanray7181]

You obviously haven’t listened to much of what Sinéad has said over the years. She constantly stated that she had very little self-confidence.
