She was on British tv, not American.
Yep, that was one the one. Thanks. RIP, Jan Hooks, too. She was a cute, funny gal.
Anyone who knows Sinead, knows that she is self centered, insecure and has occasional ‘spells’ of deep, dark paranoia. We also know that she is a talented vocalist, or has been one.
Try to put her Looney-Tune persona aside for one moment.
I can see some of this happening. Prince too was a known narcissist, who dabbled (heavily!!) into recreational drugs.
From what I’ve read about Prince the musician, he was a Prima Donna, used to special treatment. I heard that he
‘Summoned’ Sinead to his studio at near 1AM. To talk about her recording, is what he said. In spite of the success of that song, Prince is said to have been displeased with the way she sang it.
For the small group of people who care to think about it that long; Sinead sang the song as she spontaneously chose to do. A good singer can do that, play around on the trapeze of octaves and pronunciations. She pulled it off.
In several moments, (to my untrained ear) it sounds like Sinead is singing in flat whole notes, with almost no modulation, even bordering on singing off key.
She employs what resembles a Gospel way of singing and yelling the notes at once, with volume becoming the modulator. Alicia Keys does this now. Alicia is a fine pianist, but sometimes I think in a prior life, she must have lived on a farm and called hogs with that voice. This is partially what Prince didn’t like. That, along with knowing her cover of that tune was a mega-hit. His own recording of that song is largely unknown. In some ways, Prince was like the folk singer Jackson Brown, in that his better known tunes were often those sung by other people, not by him, the songwriter.
Is that a gay pride burqa? She can parade it through Iran or Mecca and let me know how that goes.
Maybe, but last I read she was a resident of the USA. It wasn’t that long ago she was shacked up in some fleabag motel in New Jersey ready to kill herself.
I’m sure the muzzies will welcome her self-professed dyke side.
Lulu broad.
Is that an LGBT Niqab???
Her clown show is becoming more amusing by the day.
When you don’t see someone for thirty years then see them now.WTF!?
Shoulda hadda V8? Am I saying it right?
Holy Man-Hands, Batman!
Hijab with the queer flag embedded? Some Muslim will get her.
The Irish singer claimed he chased her with a pillow “filled with something hard” to whack her with during a bizarre late-night bust-up.
Filled with something hard?
Ah, the old pop corn trick.
As a bunch of 21 year olds at the time,we were all more interested in Sheila E. She had been one of his back up singers who had a one hit wonder song out at the time. She was very physically impressive.
A friend of mine was guitar tech for Prince for a few years. He said he paid his staff top wages but it came with whack rules such as NO EYE CONTACT, and you speak to his handler who will speak to Prince for you. Even when he is right in front of you.
I was with you up until “better known hits were the ones sung by other people.”
Prince had 16 platinum albums. Purple Rain was 13x platinum. He was huuuuuge for a 5 foot 1 inch man.
When we would set up for concerts they always came with a list of rules and requirements for dealing with the entertainers. They mostly had a set of required items in their dressing rooms.
Certain types of water, Pepsi not Coke or visa/versa. Certain liquors, beers. Even particular candy, snacks, etc.
Everyone had a different list based on who was sponsoring the tour.
Except Jerry Garcia. He had a separate dressing room from the rest of the Grateful Dead. In his room he required a folding table a lamp and a folding chair. Nothing else.
