She was supposed to sing "I believe in You" before she was booed off the stage. Here's a link to the rehearsal version of the song. ruclips.net/video/2C7tAp5X6Zo/видео.html
She was booed for standing up against Vatican crimes against children, which everyone back then knew it was going on. ... Not a fan of her music. But I am a fan of what she did. She’s a hero in my book. All those booing are accessories to the Catholic Priest crimes against children, which the VATICAN covered up & looked the other way, instead of squashing.
the catholic Chuch is NOT the problem,who cant you talk about and criticize in the world its the Holocaust,the Jewish religion and Jews and Israel, that's the problem!
We've been watching it happen for years😢 they're not too happy that that was what Trump was doing more than any other president, which is why they didn't advertise it because the media's commissioned from the deep state😢 which is why they're doing everything they can to stop him from destroying the pedophile rings and exposing How Deep The pedophilia goes
they didnt see it that way they didnt believe the church could cover up such a thing. They thought she was attacking their faith in god. its hard to say what coulda shoulda woulda been.. but i feel if she had spoken in an interview abt why she did what she did this would have blown over.. but it was just too much of a reality check for the people at the time.
It was the way she went about it, instead of talking about the facts of what was happening she just tore up a picture. No one knew what was going on, seeing how people first thought it was about race and not the Catholic Church.
@@cranburrey That's good he apologized, that was some progress. I just think instead of tearing up the picture, she could have given facts like how many children in a year are affected things like that.
She KNEW what they didn’t know. She was TRYING to warn everyone. And they ignored it. It took 10 years for everyone to realize what she was trying to say. R.I.P. Sinead.
You do realize that there is comparable levels of sexual abuse in the school system. Makes one wonder why it is highlighted in one area of life and not the other.
Kris Kristofferson just passed away recently, but I will state that he was a great man who helped out Sinead O’Conner who was going through a rough patch! Kris Kristofferson will be missed!
She isn't crying, she turned away from Kris Kristofferson because she almost puked on his jacket. She writes about it in her memoirs and says the crazy loud clash of booing and cheering from the audience made her sick to her stomach. I will always love Sinead and her courage to stand up against evil.
But she didnt stand up against evil. Standing up against evil would have been saying on tv 'the church, as directed by the pope, is doing x, y, and z' What she did was make an artistic statement to satisfy her own whims.
What does that stupid saying ahead of her time even mean! She was in her time, just as we're in our time right now..Do you actually believe she was the first person to stand up to tyranny and the truth? LMMFAO 🤡🥱🙄
I was a teen when I saw her SNL performance and I quickly found out EXACTLY what she was protesting even back then... without internet at that. It was how I learned about the abuse that was absolutely happening & I was appalled at & happy none of my siblings, myself, my cousins, or my friends had to experience from a place we were supposed to feel the safest. I was angered that it took a decade for them to FINALLY admit it was all true... and Ms. O'Connor was brave enough to bring it to light. Can you imagine if she hadn't? Been too afraid or selfish and turn a blind eye? How many more children would have suffered by the very people in the very place they were supposed to be most protected and loved? SO. As a former Catholic... she was a true hero to me - Speaking out when no one wanted to listen or believe her. And thank god she did, because eventually the voices of all those abused kids were FINALLY heard. And for anyone who still dismisses her and what I see as brave as fuck - because she put her WHOLE career on the line for the safety of children - Ask yourself if you discovered an abuse as huge that no one was admitting or acknowledging, would you stand up and be the hero the abused needed at the risk of losing everything yourself? If that is crazy, unstable, looney... Just remember that you have what you have today because someone was brave enough to go against the "all powerful" at the risk of losing everything (and even their lives depending on the time period & cause). It was War. A silent war... and it still is.

I recently became a Kris Kristofferson fan after listening to the Highwayman and some of his songs like Sunday Morning Coming Down and Help Me Make It Through The Night. To find out this video and learned that he just recently died only 6 days ago and supported a woman years ago who got booed off the stage was a lot to take in, rip legend. For those of you who don't know who Kris Kristofferson is, he's up there with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash as one of the great country legends as well as one of the best and most humble songwriters of all time. But furthermore, He was a sailor. He was born upon the tide. With the sea he did abide. He sailed a schooner around the horn to Mexico. He went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow. And when the yards broke off they said that he got killed. But he is living still. R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson (1936-2024) R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor (1966-2023)
For all those people that was booing wonder how you feel after all these years knowing she was speaking the truth. And it's 2024 and it's still going on today and the sick bastards are still walking free.
She converted to islam, she was totally a virtual signaling hypocrite. It's obvious that she didn't care at all about children being molested, she just hates the catholic church for other reasons, that was just convenient empty rhetoric from her.
The issue is, and why she's beeing booed, is she's stating to dismantle the Catholic church and the pope. Although there are abuse issues in that and every religion, no religion is "all evil", and Catholicism is the foundation of millions of people's faith which is important to them. This is why people found her approach insensitive, and booed her off - regardless of her honorable intentions.
She was way ahead of her time. She was telling a story America was not ready to hear. She was hugely courageous, talented and brave. Unfortunately we live in a world where people want to silence the truth because it makes them feel uncomfortable
Oh yes? So why she didn’t tear the photo of any muslim leader? They oppress women, children and homosexuals… it’s so easy to attack Christianity. Why she didn’t have guts to criticise Islam then? 🤣
Why does it has to be that when someone points out injustice and wrong doing, one finds so many obstacles ? ... you were right from the start. May your light shine among all us ... Rest in Peace.
I knew something was very wrong with the world when I was a kid. The rest of the years, growing up, I developed callouses of the soul to keep from going insane. I came close, but will fight till the end.
@@L0vac that goes for Islam too, that religion is responsible for the same atrocities against women and children as much as Catholicism, but nobody dares to say it. Why?
@@teenyverse7707 She isn't a one hit wonder dumbass. If you are into pop, like a Taylor Swift fan , then it explains why you think that way. Otherwise, you're really just dumb.
I can remember watching this on tv and I just don’t understand why people were so against her, ffs she was fighting to stop the abuse against children by the priests of the Catholic Church, what the fuck is wrong with that. In my opinion Sinead should’ve been given a knighthood for standing up and fighting against child abuse within the Catholic Church.
@@ricgomez1 She didn't hate reigion. She was converted to Islam afterwards. She clearly avoided catholicism, because she grew up in strict irish catholic patterns, which where brutal back then. And dealing with mental heath issues needs a lot of strength, most talented and intelligent artists had mental problems. So it doesn't mean ANYTHING.
as adult who had PSTD for ever and on medication for child rauma and abuse, I feel so proud when a celebrity takes a stance for me..and millions othens. Thank you Sinead.
@@TheDanielShepherd I think about equality in general. In the late eighties and early nineties she talked about sexual abuse in the catholic church. Everyone made out she had a screw loose.
"As artists I believe our function is to express the feelings of the human race, to always speak the truth and never keep it hidden even though we are operating in a world which does not like the sound of the truth." -Sinéad O'Connor
“Stop racism and Pedophilia!” Audience: “Booo!” I hope that for the rest of their lives, every asshole booing in the audience that night feels the mortifying shame of being on the wrong side of history. I lived on the west coast, where at the time we didn’t get to see SNL live. It was recorded when it ran on the east coast and then played for us when the west coast reached midnight. They edited out her ripping of the photo on our run, so I only found about it on the news. I was a teenager and I understood and loved her message. Too bad so many “adults “ chose to be reactionary and ignorant. The media and public did her dirty.
She was so ahead of her time, just like rage against the machine. Zach was way ahead of his time... the things they fought against are still prevalent today!!!
@@EricWilkinson-e3b Don't call them "sell outs," like a fn 12 year old would about a band, just because you do not understand what the machine actually is.....
The late night hosts all ripped her apart in the aftermath, too, calling her "ungrateful" and "childish." Not one of them apologized for it when the truth came out.
Total respect for Sinead. The booing is because people didnt understand her initial merssage. there was no mention of the child abuse in the initail clip and people have just seen an attack on religion that has caused so many wars. But she gave a heroic fightinhg perfotmance to get her real message out. The comments regarding changing religion she was only trying to find truth in life. She probbaly didnt need to find truth because she was already aware of the rights and wrongs of this world. The real problem is peoples willingness to blindly follow and to accept the wrongs of this world. What ever relgion colour, race it is everyone resplnsibility to protect the vunerable and respect each and everones opinions and live in peace. John Lennon Sinead O Connor singing and trying to get messages out
This is making me cry, as a Christian she came out to tell the truth of the Catholic Church. The Catholic to this day haven't apologized for hiding all the so called priest who were actually homosexual pedophiles. No wonder way she turn to Allah
Not the same but I was sexualy abused in children homes we all was it was massive ring spanning 40 years they silenced us it wrecked my life trauma I'm bipolar split personality attachment disorder ptsd and add anyone who speaks out the truth using platform to do it good sinead what a mighty women thankyou ❤
I’m sorry for your traumatic experience.. no child should ever experience that.. Did you expose any of these assholes ? This is where the issue lay .. silence .. people need to be brave and stand up and call them all out or it just continues and more souls are broken 😢🙏🏼✝️
It was a Dylan tribute and she sang a Bob Marley song. Put bluntly, she made it all about her. Not about the man they were honoring. What a narcissist.
What about Janet Jackson, s child trafficking today is much larger issue and the second she mentions Kamala she gets destroyed by the left. Hypocrisy, double standard is sickening
The world most of the time were and are blind or indifferent. We never able to recognize a visionary walking among us, who able to see the truth and justice of our ways. Sinead was way ahead of her times and paid the price for it. Imagine if the world had listened, may be some innocent children could be spared from the abuse. It's tragic to honor someone only after she died but not able to appreciate her worth when she lived. Some of the people paying tribute at her funeral could be the same people who threw stones at her when she lived. The audacity and blatant hypocrisy of it is totally unbearable. These people dare to show their face to 'mourn'.
@@Kuromi_Sanrio11 I'm a fan of Sinead, and even I agree: why not just sit down and talk about it to the press? (That's what Madonna said about her at the time). It's true: Sinead kinda set herself up to be misunderstood.
Maybe because it just didn't sound that good. Also she always blamed the religion not the source of power that caused the child abuse. She just doesn't understand how reality works. Maybe that is why she ended up killing herself and so did her child. She acts anti-white and anti-christian. She turned to Islam where in fact child marriage is still happening so this shows how little she is aware of the real world.
But they're not untouchable though. It's always the miserable and the low class that laughs and boasts the hardest when their ranking anywhere except in this temporary world is below the average from their mother only loving their faces 😂😂 they have no power at all. And if it seems like God gave them the power, they have completely lost their values by abusing it while being misused by the devil. There is no power, no popularity and no kind of superiority for that kind of such thing. Little did you know some of those people in the audiences was orchestrated bots.
@@TodaysDante Well those beliefs suck because apparently it is okay letting a "few priests" diddle children...... as long as they say they are REALLY REALLY sorry when they finally get caught..... at least say it to another priest in private and do some hail marys..... even if they do it again.....and again and again.....
I'm not a fan of her music, but I would have cheered loudly and proudly for her. She stood up for what she believed in, a very noble cause, and I respect that to the Nth degree.
Größte moderne Künstlerin seit 1985. Sie hat begriffen, was Musik und Gesang ist. Sie hat begriffen, was Mut und Wahrheit ist. Nur ihr eigenes Leben hat sie nicht begriffen. Weil der Schmerz zu groß war. Sie hätte den Nobelpreis verdient für ihre Persönlichkeit. Und 1000 Umarmungen für ihren Schmerz.
Too bad she didn't talk. She just yelled that song like a stubborn kid and ripped up the pope. I listened at the time and didn't have a clue what she was doing because it was vague and lacking words.
I'm not sure. But I've listened to it at all speeds from .25% and back to 100% With multiple other people listening in. It sounds like they're shouting "Alone" But in a exclamatory and questioning manner. It's the best we could come up with.
She was trying to open everyone's eyes on the biggest platform/popular show around at the time where she'd reach the most people at the height of her stardom only to pass on penniless, in a motel room in public exile and obscurity for telling the world the truth. That woman was a martyr.
I remember that. I was just a young teenager. It broke my heart. She's so stunningly beautiful outside as well as in. RIP Sinead O'Connor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Isn't it ironic that a few years later after she made her statement we found out that priests were sexually abusive to children. Goes to show you not to judge someone for their beliefs.

That the Pope can't guard every evil priests. Those priest doing evil deeds obviously rejected the teachings of Christianity. She got booed for her ignorance.

When she turned to islam, I knew she was a nutcase. She complained about abuse but she joined the most oppressive religion on earth so she obviously didn't have the mental capability to see her own hypocrisy. I'm glad she is gone and forgotten.

I recently became a Kris Kristofferson fan after listening to the Highwayman and some of his songs like Sunday Morning Coming Down and Help Me Make It Through The Night. To find out this video and learned that he just recently died only 6 days ago and supported a woman years ago who got booed off the stage was a lot to take in, rip legend.
For those of you who don't know who Kris Kristofferson is, he's up there with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash as one of the great country legends as well as one of the best and most humble songwriters of all time. But furthermore,
He was a sailor.
He was born upon the tide.
With the sea he did abide.
He sailed a schooner around the horn to Mexico.
He went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow.
And when the yards broke off they said that he got killed.
But he is living still.
R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson (1936-2024)
R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor (1966-2023)
And now Willie Nelson is the last of the Highwaymen
For all those people that was booing wonder how you feel after all these years knowing she was speaking the truth. And it's 2024 and it's still going on today and the sick bastards are still walking free.
After knowing she became a Muslim, it is clear she was never right, nor in a sane mindset.
She converted to islam, she was totally a virtual signaling hypocrite. It's obvious that she didn't care at all about children being molested, she just hates the catholic church for other reasons, that was just convenient empty rhetoric from her.
Flock cant think outside of the box
The issue is, and why she's beeing booed, is she's stating to dismantle the Catholic church and the pope. Although there are abuse issues in that and every religion, no religion is "all evil", and Catholicism is the foundation of millions of people's faith which is important to them. This is why people found her approach insensitive, and booed her off - regardless of her honorable intentions.
@@ULTIMATEPATCHESshe was brave
It’s unfortunate to think that both Sinead and Kristofferson are no longer with us.
She was way ahead of her time. She was telling a story America was not ready to hear. She was hugely courageous, talented and brave. Unfortunately we live in a world where people want to silence the truth because it makes them feel uncomfortable
And a load of them are still not ready, but will they ever be?
Oh yes? So why she didn’t tear the photo of any muslim leader? They oppress women, children and homosexuals… it’s so easy to attack Christianity. Why she didn’t have guts to criticise Islam then? 🤣
Nailed it! 👊🏼
Open your eyes n y mind theres a huricane coming
How about Italy?
That is what real bravery and courage looks like. She deserved better.
Total and utter badass.

I didn't really hear the crowd booing either
I can remember watching this on tv and I just don’t understand why people were so against her, ffs she was fighting to stop the abuse against children by the priests of the Catholic Church, what the fuck is wrong with that.
In my opinion Sinead should’ve been given a knighthood for standing up and fighting against child abuse within the Catholic Church.
Because most of the masses are pedophiles themselves.
Indoctrination is why people were so against her. The very thing that allows child abuse to exist. She was wonderful and strong. He was a true gent. x
They were just tired of famous people trying to send political and personal messages. You just have to realize the climate at the time.
A beautiful and brave lady, shame on those who booed. RIP Sinead ❤
Brave woman. Truly inspiring against the ignorant mass.
Bullcrap, she flipped and flopped regarding her stand. She had mental problems and a great hate for religion.
Nowhere in Christ's teaching or the church does it say to do bad, so if someone does why blame Christ. No she was being Anti Christ.
@@ricgomez1 She didn't hate reigion. She was converted to Islam afterwards. She clearly avoided catholicism, because she grew up in strict irish catholic patterns, which where brutal back then. And dealing with mental heath issues needs a lot of strength, most talented and intelligent artists had mental problems. So it doesn't mean ANYTHING.
as adult who had PSTD for ever and on medication for child rauma and abuse, I feel so proud when a celebrity takes a stance for me..and millions othens. Thank you Sinead.
R.I.P. Sinead O'Connor...nothing compares to you.
Good riddance, now she meets her maker
She's my hero. Easily my favorite musician ever. She used her platform purely to fight for those who couldn't fight. That's how its supposed to be.
Everyone deemed her to be mad and unhinged but she was right all along, so was Johnny Rotten about Savile.
I mean she’s making a big point about race as well…

"As artists I believe our function is to express the feelings of the human race, to always speak the truth and never keep it hidden even though we are operating in a world which does not like the sound of the truth." -Sinéad O'Connor
I was a child when I saw this, and I never understood why no one stood by her. Then after she dided they praised how bold she was.
“Stop racism and Pedophilia!”
Audience: “Booo!”
I hope that for the rest of their lives, every asshole booing in the audience that night feels the mortifying shame of being on the wrong side of history.
I lived on the west coast, where at the time we didn’t get to see SNL live. It was recorded when it ran on the east coast and then played for us when the west coast reached midnight. They edited out her ripping of the photo on our run, so I only found about it on the news.
I was a teenager and I understood and loved her message. Too bad so many “adults “ chose to be reactionary and ignorant. The media and public did her dirty.
I'm glad she is gone.
That really wasn't what happened, but ok.

Good for
Sinead, speaking up for the oppressed. Love her.
Total respect for Sinead. The booing is because people didnt understand her initial merssage. there was no mention of the child abuse in the initail clip and people have just seen an attack on religion that has caused so many wars. But she gave a heroic fightinhg perfotmance to get her real message out. The comments regarding changing religion she was only trying to find truth in life. She probbaly didnt need to find truth because she was already aware of the rights and wrongs of this world. The real problem is peoples willingness to blindly follow and to accept the wrongs of this world. What ever relgion colour, race it is everyone resplnsibility to protect the vunerable and respect each and everones opinions and live in peace. John Lennon Sinead O Connor singing and trying to get messages out
This gave me the absolute chills !! May this beautiful woman rest in peace for letting the truth be told !!
This is making me cry, as a Christian she came out to tell the truth of the Catholic Church. The Catholic to this day haven't apologized for hiding all the so called priest who were actually homosexual pedophiles. No wonder way she turn to Allah
Not a fan of her music, but definitely a fan of the person she seems to be
Not the same but I was sexualy abused in children homes we all was it was massive ring spanning 40 years they silenced us it wrecked my life trauma I'm bipolar split personality attachment disorder ptsd and add anyone who speaks out the truth using platform to do it good sinead what a mighty women thankyou ❤
I’m sorry for your traumatic experience.. no child should ever experience that..
Did you expose any of these assholes ? This is where the issue lay .. silence .. people need to be brave and stand up and call them all out or it just continues and more souls are broken 😢🙏🏼✝️

All the best to you. You may have maximum possible joy of life.
It was a Dylan tribute and she sang a Bob Marley song. Put bluntly, she made it all about her. Not about the man they were honoring. What a narcissist.
@Lara-hr8oy Society still does not want to know.
And it is not this one survivor's responsibility to change that fact.
She was right all along
she tried. she tried her whole life. but the majority wont get it and never will. may her strong soul b in a good place now.

@@SolaScriptura-n-cats I'm an irish-american and I'm embarrassed
The world most of the time were and are blind or indifferent. We never able to recognize a visionary walking among us, who able to see the truth and justice of our ways.
Sinead was way ahead of her times and paid the price for it.
Imagine if the world had listened, may be some innocent children could be spared from the abuse.
It's tragic to honor someone only after she died but not able to appreciate her worth when she lived.
Some of the people paying tribute at her funeral could be the same people who threw stones at her when she lived.
The audacity and blatant hypocrisy of it is totally unbearable. These people dare to show their face to 'mourn'.
She had a valid point, just poorly executed.
@@Kuromi_Sanrio11 I'm a fan of Sinead, and even I agree: why not just sit down and talk about it to the press? (That's what Madonna said about her at the time). It's true: Sinead kinda set herself up to be misunderstood.
@@transp0rter1 yeah why don't abuse victims act just the way you want them to
Stunningly cringe-worthy behaviour from so many people.
They laugh because they're untouchable, not because what she said was wrong
Maybe because it just didn't sound that good. Also she always blamed the religion not the source of power that caused the child abuse. She just doesn't understand how reality works. Maybe that is why she ended up killing herself and so did her child. She acts anti-white and anti-christian. She turned to Islam where in fact child marriage is still happening so this shows how little she is aware of the real world.
good one. so true. they had a severe case of the emperors new clothes.
But they're not untouchable though. It's always the miserable and the low class that laughs and boasts the hardest when their ranking anywhere except in this temporary world is below the average from their mother only loving their faces 😂😂 they have no power at all. And if it seems like God gave them the power, they have completely lost their values by abusing it while being misused by the devil. There is no power, no popularity and no kind of superiority for that kind of such thing. Little did you know some of those people in the audiences was orchestrated bots.
She was right!
I watched this on TV live and have to say I was shocked...only because she was right at the time. People don't understand world history.
People understand that she was trashing the deeply held beliefs of over a billion people because a few Priests committed horrible acts.
@@TodaysDanteexactly
@@TodaysDante Well those beliefs suck because apparently it is okay letting a "few priests" diddle children...... as long as they say they are REALLY REALLY sorry when they finally get caught..... at least say it to another priest in private and do some hail marys..... even if they do it again.....and again and again.....
