I saw her live twice. At the Beacon in New York, and the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey, near where I grew up. (That was the infamous National Anthem concert, and absolutely nobody noticed they didn't play it over the sound system--just a weird rule, because it was state-run then, and you know how she felt about rules). Her voice just cut through all the noise, like nothing I've ever heard, before or since. I mean, I saw Van Morrison at the Beacon, Lou Reed, Teena Marie, The Pogues (Post McGowan, alas). Obviously Van Morrison was past his prime, but still--she was--something else. Something else entirely. I can't explain it. There was a force in her. It was more than just a good instrument. It was the spirit behind the instrument. The ferocity of it. I'm not surprised she died relatively young. Or that no explanation has been found. That kind of fire can only burn so long. And she turned the flame down.
"Sinead O'Connor, a true musical warrior, wielded more rage in her voice than a hundred punk bands combined. Her raw passion and fearless expression were truly ahead of her time.
I knew this song was about her mother, just by the emotion in her voice. I give her so much credit for just being able to sing about something so painful in front of thousands of people. She was an amazing artist who wore her heart on her sleeve. I was so sad when I heard she had passed away, but not surprised at all. Between her on going depression which I am sure was magnified when her young son took his life 18 mos ago, it was not a big suprise to many. She often said he was the closest to her, and she felt he was the only person to ever love her unconditionally. I'm sure when the results of what ever it was that caused her death are made public although tragic they will confirm what many are thinking. The pain was much too hard for her to go on. She left behind many who did in fact love her unconditionally and will remember her with great respect, love and admiration for the exceptional talented musician and artist she was. She had a voice that often gave you chills, beautiful eyes that mystified you, and a smile that more than often hid the pain and insecurities she often dealt with. I pray to God, even though I didn't personally know her, that she finally is at peace, and with her baby boy. So unbelievably sad, she is already missed more than she will ever know, and for a lot of us, she'll always be remembered for the amazing woman she didn't believe or know she was. ❤
@@redrum0929 but there has not been an inquest, there is only an inquest if the cause of death is unknown. If the autopsy revealed a known cause then the family have every right to keep that cause to themselves if they wish.
She was just 20 when that record came out. Such brilliant singing and songwriting. It was great for her to have a big hit with that Prince song, but I always felt like it caused her own talents to be overlooked. Mandinka is a great rock song (especially when the Smiths dude isn’t screwing up the drum part in the chorus) but Troy, holy shit.
Hero of Ireland. Icon. A true original. One of the most powerful, intense, raw voices in music - both in sound and message. Gone far too young. RIP Sinead.
Sinead was a Muslim. In Islam and about Muslims you can not use that kind of words. This is disrespect to Sinead's religion. Islam is a Dignity, so bad words are forbidden.
I adore that she dedicated the whole set to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers big socks! Excellent, Sinead. Those socks needed a tribute and what a tribute this set was. Watching this after she has left us - she is a true punk rock and roll protest singer. I’m moved in my heart by everything Sinead does - music, interviews, everything. Rest well glorious gentle fierce Sinead ❤❤❤❤❤
So talented! When she first came out Chrysalis tried to break her in America-much resistance because she didn’t fit easily on the radio. We played her a lot on Live 105 in San Francisco!
@@sophiafaithI was thinking the same thing, so I looked at my phone to see who was playing drums. When I saw who I suspected it was (Mike Joyce) I gave him a pass. I suspect he was just feeling the song a bit different than we’re used to hearing it. Cheers!
If I hadn't read her book, I would never have understood or even noticed the babygrow hanging from the back of her jeans. I never had any idea she had a child at this age and was touring as a young mother.
Pure unbridled emotion. What a powerful woman she was. We were lucky to witness Sinead. I saw her 20 years after this. This is her at her raw and youthful best. Rest easy you fierce songbird. Thank you for sharing your gift...
I get pretty emotional seeing Sinead O'Connor and Andy Rourke side by side in this clip. Two of the best and they died only two months apart. But their performance here is timeless and I know their music will endure.
Thank you for being the biggest voice for Irish ☘️ Women for child abuse, sexual abuse and Abortion in the 80’s and 90,s in Ireland .You did us proud not only your music but your amazing speaking and singing voice.Forever grateful for your beautiful loud voice you did Dublin proud and Ireland as a nation ☘️🙏💕💕
Sinéad was a powerhouse of talent. Especially on Troy. Just her singing and a guitar. No 50 backup dancers, elaborate costumes and sets, no autotune, flashing lights or smoke and she still blows away most performers even today. Even through the video her performance just grabs you; I can't imagine what it was like seeing her live. It was disgusting the way she was vilified and crucified for standing up against the corrupt, pedophilic catholic church.
She had it all, mesmerizing! ...very few performers male of female had the goods like Sinead O'Connor. Let's not forget she wrote all those powerful lovelorn songs, had an incredible original voice, and to these eyes she was an amazing 20 year old Irish beauty! RIP
In the shadow of her incredible art, I know men feel afraid to say how beautiful she was. So you know, women also know how absolutely drop dead gorgeous she was and we have HUGE respect that she tried so hard to play it down
@@loosiluNothing wrong with being beautiful! I'm a fashion photographer, just blown away with that incredible video she made for Nothing Compares To You, ( if I was the director for Revlon then she would have been signed on the spot!). That's what I meant by writing no body had the goods like Sinead O'Connor. Her musical talent and soul was just staggering, ...her beauty to this straight guy was equally so, peace.
Not just lovelorn songs.. this one was about being sexually abused when she was young. So much of her art and voice was speaking out against child sexual abuse and abuse and equality and justice more broadly. It’s just sad that she was ahead of the times when she did speak out, and was severely ridiculed for it. Nowadays she would be heralded a hero.
Me too! And I eventually moved from Chicago to Ireland, which in retrospect I can directly trace to my first Sinéad O'Connor CD "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got."
People today vould learn good lesson from her the truth is better in the long run this way u know who yiur friends realy are and u know exactly where u stand
AND SHE KEPT HER SPIRITS UP RIGHT UP UNTIL SHE DIED EVEN WHEN SHE WENT FOR WALKS IN THE GRAVE. YARD ALL.DRSSED IN BLACK SHE STILL.KEPT HER HEAD UP.. SHE WAS A BEAUTIEFULL STRONG WOMEN
It's about two people who caused her alot of pain. Her abusive mother who locked all of the children out of the house one rainy night and let them sleep in a shed. Sinéad was made to continue sleeping outside for the whole week. She also had a relationship with an older married man who was also a preacher. He preyed on her and discarded her when she needed him most.
@@synesthesia.aesthetic Not all preachers are bad men. Most aren't. Most are holy men spreading God's word. It's ashame she came across one of the very few frauds who tarnish Christianity with crooked behavior.
@@chosen_remnant That is beside the point and rude in this place at this time. Think about why you apparently cannot focus, even for a while, on this artist and the vulnerable people she stood up for.
@@fazsicle No, it's not beside the point. Especially if it led to her ultimately abandoning her religion. It's very relevant and there's nothing rude about commentating about such a serious topic that affects the lives of so many people. It has nothing to do with not being able to focus on Sinéad, her music, or her influence. Those things are beside *my* point. It's possible to respect Sinéad and also examine other parts of her story.
She was such an incredible gifted singer and such a beautiful, lovable, strong and brave warrior. These songs accompanied me in my twenties. She was the voice that expressed my feelings and thoughts. Later I discovered the celtic and irish folk songs she sang. Thank you god for this great musician. I´m sad she left the world but I hope her soul is in peace, light and love now!
Troy, and this performance in particular, has always been my favorite Sinéad song and one of my favorite songs in general. I heard her sing it live once in san diego. Her passing has really affected me. Truly one of the great ones. RIP Sinbad. If only you knew how much you were loved by so many while you were alive.
I came to Sineads music late in her career ,Troy absolutely tore me apart more than any of her songs ,how anyone so young could write such a beautiful powerful song is remarkable,she was so talented. R.I.P. SINEAD. now you have met the Beloved, beyond all religions.
À chaque fois que j'entends une note de troy , je ne peux m'empêcher de l'écouter jusqu'au bout. Cette chanson est un monument, créée par la plus belle voix au monde , et la plus belle âme. Sinéad je t'aime ❤❤😢❤ infiniment.
Glad to see this comment. I left comments on many videos and clips on Dec. 8, 2023 and was suprised no one said anything back. So thank you for remembering too ❤
@@susannahv7219 Somehow i just got notification on this comment. Yeah i cannot forget Sinead as long as i'm alive. Shes the most important person in my life. I also leave comments for Sinead and Dolores O'Riordan on important days. Thank you as well for remembering such a beautiful soul like Sinead
I dont think ive seen any more powerful Performance than this of Troy...i mean by any artist...sends shivers diwn my spine...I've watched it over the years often...Sinead...RIP you were one of a kind...brave, vulnerable, such a truth teller...may you find peace
Sinead e la sua voce, una chitarra ed era magia, che forza sapeva esprimere in contrasto con il viso da ragazza e un sorriso timido. Quando cantava arrivava la guerriera che sarebbe diventata.Grazie Sinead della tua bellezza e della tua musica. Trova la pace perche' in questo mondo non ne hai avuta....ceneri urbane avanzano....sei nel cuore Sinead, non dimentichero" il tuo coraggio, mi hai ispirato nei momenti difficili con il tuo canto da principessa irlandese ❤
I've just noticed in all these videos it's a white baby's onesie tucked into her jeans at the back... It must have been to acknowledge/keep her son close while she performed! ❤ 😪
I just found this reference to it: "Despite her reverence for the occasion, however, O’Connor used her Grammys platform for some pointed social commentary and critique. She tied the arms of a baby’s onesie, worn by her then-young son Jake, onto the belt loops of her jeans, letting it flap around her waist as she sang. O’Connor later put the onesie on her mother’s grave, intending it as a “souvenir for her from the Grammys.” The writer Allyson McCabe also called the wardrobe choice “a middle finger to the executives at her record label who had warned her that motherhood and a career were incompatible.”"
Yeah it was because no one e wanted her to have her first baby because she had just gotten famous and shit and wore it to say no one is going to tell her to have an abortion!!! Never afraid to speak her mind in symbolic ways ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sinead wasent moedered, it is what she missed in her life.Her mother was ill, I understand the trying to please, to get it right.What a shame,to have had such a beautiful talented daughter.❤
She often wore her son’s onesie in performance - she did it at the Grammies, as well. It was her way of telling the music industry that she had bigger priorities than making agents and record company executives wealthy.
She gives me hope. I miss her. But here she is, to remind you of your and my humanity and how we must not fail ourselves in our best intentions. God bless, gratitude and peace to her beautiful soul.

Troy: never seen a stronger performance of a girl alone, strumming only two chords. Magic. Sad she passed away today.
so intense!!!!
@filipvanduyse4140 youre right, so so right.
💔🌹
More like 5, but who's counting.
Troy blew me away back then and does till today. What a glorious, truthful and soul burning performance.
No iPhones. No blue glow. No auto tune. Pure. Raw. Clean.
In your face.
Like a punch in the face
true!
Punctuated by a big ugly watermark
We Love you❤

Just complete silence as everyone begins to realize they’re witnessing a one in an entire lifetime performance.
That.was.amazing!
I noticed the same. The audience is taken it in.
They didn’t realize they would be blown away to smitherines
She was so fucking awesome.
She was just 20 when that record came out. Such brilliant singing and songwriting. It was great for her to have a big hit with that Prince song, but I always felt like it caused her own talents to be overlooked. Mandinka is a great rock song (especially when the Smiths dude isn’t screwing up the drum part in the chorus) but Troy, holy shit.
I first discovered her with Troy. It blew me away. She made Nothing Compares To You her own.
I agree she is oops was an amazing song writer in her own right. Always loved her will always miss her. Rip beautiful honest lady.
i've been listening to Mandinka on repeat for days. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Troy blew me away❤ should have just put this song in its own! Agree, drummer screwed it up!
You're right, the drumming is awful
It's so hard to come to terms with it she lived beside my aunt in Bray they got on great xxx
Hero of Ireland. Icon. A true original. One of the most powerful, intense, raw voices in music - both in sound and message. Gone far too young. RIP Sinead.

She was also a catholic priest and they like swearing

An unmistakeable Celtic voice.
So talented! When she first came out Chrysalis tried to break her in America-much resistance because she didn’t fit easily on the radio. We played her a lot on Live 105 in San Francisco!

What don't you all play in San Fran? 😁
I miss old school Live 105
Those were the Days!! I remember all the tracks off Lion and Cobra played on Live 105. Life Forming Years!
Flawless. What a force of nature. She will be sadly missed.

A huge amount of emotion to vent. Just noticed that tied around her waist is what I'm assuming to be her son's baby grow ❤
She often wore her son’s onesie in performance - she did it at the Grammies, as well. It was her way of telling the music industry that she had bigger priorities than making agents and record company executives wealthy.
Pinkpop 1988 was great with Sinead. Good memory's. R. I. P. Andy Rourke & Sinead o'connor 😪🙏
She gives me hope. I miss her. But here she is, to remind you of your and my humanity and how we must not fail ourselves in our best intentions. God bless, gratitude and peace to her beautiful soul.
Just dam excellent. ❤
Je ne me lasse pas de l'entendre, malgré qu'elle soit partie. Mais je suis sûre qu'elle n'est pas loin. Merci Sinéad.
Sinead rocks...
Definitely an awesome performance, oh i wish i could turn back the clock.
brilliant performance of "Mandinka"
I ❤ you since 1988! 🖤💚💗🖤💚💗
That’s her infant son’s onesie hanging off her back shorts ❤❤❤❤❤
So much passion, you can actually feel her emotion or pain... Been listening from the beginning.
Her music got me through my college years. She really shaped the person I became.
