Sinéad O'Connor on Rosie O'Donnell Show

from VHS, on 9 June 2000

[@pussycats456]

She was so adorable! The world was a better place with her in it! 💖

[@anthonylockhart6120]

😂 well not really because the world didn't give her the flowers that she very much earned

[@heathergibbs2904]

RIP Sinead Marie Bernadette O'Connor Irish singer songwriter remembered never forgotten Irish princess 👸.

[@CaroL-nf5rs]

It always strikes me how Sinead spoke out so confidently about what she believed in, but seems so modest

[@DONAL914]

What I remembered most was the attraction to her, as a young fellow and I don't mean the physical but the ability she had to be angry, frustrated and then to voice it. It was that sense of self, that I certainly craved for, and the sheer doggedness to say no more to the bullshit and the denial. Well bloody done and may you find eternal peace. Xx

[@cockeyedoptimista]

I love her smile.

[@marvinrosenthal6158]

I wish life would have treated her better.
Rest in peace, Sinèad.

[@mrgrumpy888]

Faith and courage is such an exquisite piece of work. Probably her best album.

[@djdarq6311]

def not her best album.... more like the appease the mainstream album. she could do anything, there's better. Best is Universal Mother and Gospel Oak.

[@95KIPPIE]

Americans were too busy trying to get the next thing, materials and money, to pull our heads out of our asses to listen to her. All we know how to do is judge people. And she was right on every single count, RIP dear Sinead!

[@user-yo5vy7wb5p]

Finally an american with a good judgement.

[@AWJ-zf8cf]

So true!!!

[@lysanderofsparta3708]

She had a Number 1 hit in the U.S. What are you bitching about?

Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have a video discussion of their lives to reflect on post mortem..

[@LindaMorris-qj8ct]

Absolutely love Rosie O'Donnell,and Sinead really enjoyed that interview, Sinead s voice is haunting ,beautiful ♥️

[@patriotiac572]

I loved Rosie O'Donnell as a talk show host who focused on her guests and their projects, just like she did in this video. She had a knack for being warm, friendly, supportive, personable, encouraging, and kind. Notwithstanding the flag in my profile pic, I'm an "unenrolled" voter who goes both ways, but I keep that stuff to myself in real life. I only wish Rosie had done the same, but instead she became argumentative, bullying, vitriolic, and hateful. I truly believe her "handlers" encouraged her to be this way, because I've had relatives in "the business" and I know that they serve an evil master. It's a shame that the price of fame, in Hollywood, apparently is so evil and dark. I'll be so glad when the general public learns more about what really goes on there, how it's run, and how filthy it is. Then it can be rebuilt, and talk show hosts can be as wonderful as Rosie was back in the day.

[@LaLeMay]

Rosie O’Donnel is a good interviewer, respectful. It’s lovely to see Sinead being interviewed beautifully. It’s just lovely to watch Sinead’s interviews per se. I’m just watching Sinead interviews, live performances & albums from here on in. God, we miss her ❤❤❤❤

[@leagueG5]

Beautiful soul. Sinead was such a lovely vibe. ❤❤

[@MMacAttack]

So exquisitely beautiful with that amazing voice RIP SINEAD you were ahead of your time ❤️

[@le_th_]

She was honest, and there are few things that society hates more than a truth-teller. Compound that with a truth-telling woman. Compound that with a truth-telling gorgeous woman. Compound that with a truth-telling, gorgeous woman with a large public platform and audience to whom she can tell the truth.

what a brilliantly written song! I've been listening to so much after her posting...when I was a teen, she meant the world to me and changed my life as a young budding musician. She was/is MORE brilliant and HONEST than I even remember. I love you Sinead.

Always liked her and, artistically speaking, she had one of the most beautiful faces

[@davidfaulds2960]

Sinead lost so much trying to alert the world to the horrors of child abuse within the Catholic Church, in not just Ireland BUT the world. Sinead was 10 years too early for everyone else to comprehend what she was trying to warn us about.

[@leeleef]

Actually as a woman from Ireland, Sinead did not lose anything, her true fans knew and realised that she spoke the truth, especially when it came to the Catholic Church

[@drewdewolf7817]

She wanted to use the ripping up the pic of the pope as a publicity stunt and it backfired

[@jgg59]

She’s a hero in Ireland. She had a very productive life and career.

[@mellio9077]

@@leeleef That is so wonderful to know. I’m glad she had heartfelt appreciation in her home country. I was a teenager when her music came out and she’s always been an amazing artist to me. (I’m in the US) I never thought poorly of her for ripping up the photo of the pope, it didn’t change my view of her one bit. I only thought she is expressing something honestly from her point of view (which I didn’t comprehend at the time).

[@seattlejayde]

Totally agree!

[@Katiemadonna3]

SINEAD IS THE QUEEN!!!!!

[@isabel3559]

I hated the fact people in "entertainment" industry blamed her bipolar on the fact she was trying to expose child abuse they'd say oh she's just a nutter she's mad no she was bang on look at Hollywood reaction to sound of freedom Sinead should be remembered with gratitude for all the lives she tried to save. This is most respectful interview ive seen with her thanks Rosie for treating her with utmost respect

[@JayPea-zu7ue]

She said in an interview with Ruby Wax that she wasn’t bipolar. It was a label stuck on her by Ireland’s backward mental health practitioners.

[@GyntherMeyer]

Such a beautiful person. And she just died the other day. RIP :(

[@cesarneon]

SINEAD O, CONNOR YOU ARE THE BEST!! SENSIBLE AND INTELIGENT WOMAN!! BRAVE WOMAN! I LOVE YOU!!

[@pjokkenroll]

I wish wish WISH I was more aware of her when she was still alive. I only knew her by that one song, was never aware of the controversies or anything else about her. Then I watched the documentary, initially out of boredom, and I was just floored. I FELL IN LOVE with her. WHAT a badass she was. It breaks my heart that such a genuine, talented, beautiful and courageous person and TRUE ARTIST (Yes, caps fucking lock) had to endure such a painful life. She's my hero now. And fuck bob Dylan, Eddie Vedder and everyone else for not backing her that night.

[@WillieWagglestick]

Love her. A very talented, clever and beautiful lady.

[@GrahamNificent]

I love how completely feminine she is, despite the short hair. Such a gorgeous person.

[@rickjimo5691]

omg I just love her more every time I watch this performance and interview

[@clicketysplit1817]

Only because either were mainstream pop culture at the time did this interview make sense.

[@jonimoroni7475]

I loved when Rosie said, “Frankly, we’re not gonna room together.” Sinead got a kick out of it, lots of sweet moments throughout the interview.

[@LaLeMay]

[@anthonylockhart6120]

But she wasn't a lesbian

[@jonimoroni7475]

@@anthonylockhart6120 lol…Rosie is a Barry Manilow fan, Sinead was not; this is why Rosie said they could never be roommates.😁

[@theoroche27]

Rosie is lesbian that's why he said that. Sinead stated once that she's 3 quarters straight and one quarter gay but I dunno because of her bad past. Kinda glad she's not gay because she experienced enough problems she didn't need to be someone where the world's less accomodating for you too

Great interview with Sinead. I'm a new Sinead fan... all of 3 weeks now and surprised she mentions ABBA as i'm a long time ABBA fan. And being a huge ABBA fan I was also surprised when I discovered Sinead did an ABBA cover of 'Chiquitita'.

I would spend the night at my best friend's house and she had that very album by The Family whose singers were some blonde guy and Wendy's- of Wendy and Lisa- twin sister. She played that album all the time. When Sinead came out with her version of Nothing Compares to You, I did not recognize it. My friend reminded me. She asked me "Remember that album with Wendy's sister on the cover?" She said that's the song she's doing.
