Her voice was amazing.

She was a tortured soul.

(Interestingly, she mentioned abuse by her mother. In our current society we blame the fathers, but I often wondered about some of the mothers.)

Too bad. She was a freaking nutcase.

In our current society, mothers are the driving force behind the trans debacle with our under-18 children.

When she was posting ads online for men to pound her in the butt, she was on the other end of a lit fuse. Very sad. Obvious emotional problems and an inability to process life as it came her way. As most really great artists, she was deeply troubled.

"What did she die of?"

A lifelong troubled sadness. N'uff said.

Lord have Mercy!!

There are many too many who die, and make me worry about their salvation. It’s worse when it’s someone I knew than a public figure like her. Lord have Mercy!!

I am surprised she was only 56. Way back in the early 90s, she was spoofed in a SNL skit in which Phil Hartman played Frank Sinatra as a smart-alecky talk show host. She was portrayed as an ultra-feminist man-hater with a shaved head, and “Sinatra” called her “Uncle Fester” and “Cue Ball.”

A wounded soul the Golden Rule starts with me and All Have Sinned to criticize Sinead O’Connor for her actions and think my *ss is clean would be Pride and Vanity.

It was easy to see she had mental problems.

Losing a child by suicide would completely destroy me.. I think it destroyed her... sad

More than just her voice. She was very troubled, and sometimes her behavior reflected this, but if she is remembered for merely a cover song (no matter how beautifully she covered it), and for her occasionally outrageous behavior, that would be a tragedy.

When they don't even mention it, that's a clue.
