@genevievegenevieve5205 Sweet “little” voice? I guess you’ve missed all the songs where Sinead used her very BIG voice. Her success wasn’t an accident or luck. She quickly rose straight to the top, as talent tends to do. She chose not to stay there. She chose to live by her values.

[@Mnelissen1968]

I saw Sinead O'Connor live at Pinkpop in 1995. I always liked her and was a big fan from the start. Seeing her live left a big impression, not only on myself, whole Pinkpop was impressed. She was one of the few who silenced Pinkpop that day! Everyone was captured by her presence and voice. You did not only hear every word, you could feel what she was saying. If you want to know Sinead O'Connor, then listen to the album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". Then listen to all of her other albums, and you will find out what a great songwriter and artist she is. A great icon has passed away. She is in my heart and will stay there forever.

Thank you for this wonderful comment

[@TheRealThomasPaine1776]

Where was that? I saw her in the US on her first tour in the States, her 3rd show, than in 90 at The Wall concert in Berlin. But she was so poorly treated in the US that I never got a chance to see her again!

[@Mnelissen1968]

​@@TheRealThomasPaine1776 Pinkpop is a live festival in The Netherlands that takes place every year in Landgraaf. I know that Sinead was poorly treated in the US. She was the only one that spoke against the church and the catholic religion. Her famous action on SNL where she rebelled, off script, against the Catholic Church made her not popular in the US. It is a shame how they treated her in the US without getting to know her and her upbringing in Ireland and how religion torn her home country apart.

[@Lisa-nx8yx]

My heart is 💔 I'll be 61 next month. Ive always loved Sinead. Best female voice out there. Huge talent. She went thru tremendous heartache from birth til her death. Losing her son devastated her completely. No coming back from that. Fly high you beautiful talented "Doe Eyed" Beauty. What a beautiful reunion holding your precious Shane again. 💫 I love you🍀🤍🍀

One of the saddest songs ever written and she delivered it perfectly

[@cathyscribner7798]

Tears keep coming over the last few days, because she went there..she gave a voice to all the pain and grief and rage that so many of us felt/feel and could never voice for whatever reason. Sinéad was a broken-hearted truth warrior. You can't be one without the other. Bha i Sgionneil..she was Brilliant..a bard..unapologetically fierce in her vulnerability. I pray, Sinéad, that you're holding your son across the veil. That it's all so unimaginably beautiful where you are now. Thank you for all of it. Fly you high.

So well expressed miss. I can feel your deep kindred spirit with Sinead. I perhaps understand her better myself having read your remembrance.
