They may protect their superstitions no matter what, but nothing compares to the truth. The text in the video is copied from Wikipedia and has been edited a little.
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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2C7tAp5X6Zo.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!
@@acf5683 she was disrespectful to the pope that's wrong, I knew about all that shit that was going on was it wrong absolutely but to rip up a picture of a man of God is wrong as well❤and✌.
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.
Dude, this was so bad ass. I don't know what everybody was so up in arms about. I mean if the womans message is going against child abuse in the church, wtf is everyone so angry about? And by the way, for her to stand there and give that passionate rendition, as if to say, STFU when all those people were against here, is absolutely gangster. Good for her man. Let the so called Christians of this country make their noise. I myself am a Christian but a real one, one who believes in right and wrong, no matter who the culprit is, believes in love and believes in forgiveness as long as the message is the right message. Good for her for standing up to everyone.
They probably didn't believe the rumours of abuse, just like we who raise the current issue of high level paedophilia are lambasted by the masses as "conspiracy theorists".
@@SpinodoDragon The 'abuse scandals' have been blown out of all proportion due to a long-standing agenda of Catholic bashing, especially by one group of people. Note what she was wearing around her neck at the time she tore up that photo.
Idc what anyone says, she is and always be punk. Thank you for always standing on what's right. Calling on what is only being addressed over 20 years later. Rip beautiful soul.
She got booed onstage. She got annoyed. She angrily sang "War". As she left, she cried. Kris Kristofferson helped her on her feet. Very different than "Sinéad O'Connor gets booed off stage and leaves in tears." Must say... that sounds like the kind of account a tabloid would give.
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.
@@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.
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?
In tears? This has to be a joke! She courageously faced an entire audience with singular aplomb. She finished them off! She didn't shed a tear on stage or leaving it, she was disgusted, it's different, and she vomited. Disgusted by the blind and malicious public and the shameful silence of the artists on stage, especially Bob Dylan. At that moment, only she and the wonderful Kris Kristtoferson showed they had balls among a sea of cowards!
Exactly. Dylan has always been a coward, and later in life, a shill for militarism and ethnic cleansing. He wishes he had 1/100th the courage Sinead had.
@@pumasgoya LOL she was 100% right about the Pope. The Catholic Church has twisted and abused the Word Of God and claimed that the Pope is infallible and the direct contact for us to God. The Catholic Church is responsible for millions of souls entering hell with its lies and control and as she called it - evil.
Her mistake was thinking that Americans were capable of critical thinking. Unbeknownst to her, this place is riddled with religious zealots and the blissfully ignorant. But, she tried. At least someone did that.
Got to love all of these countries, much worse than America, being constantly critical of us. You guys are under total control of your governments and are the biggest brain dead zombies out there, always projecting on us. Similar to the liberal cancer here destroying everything.
You must forgive the ignorant. Forgiving is the ultimate burden. They are there as revelers seeking escape from their own woe and misery. We all suffer. We all know pain. They went for abandon and she brought them a revolutionary church, preaching to the unwitting, the bereft and aggrieved. Forgive their barriers for they are but bleating lambs, lost children, wounded from their own life's torments.
@@jasonuerkvitz3756 there is a massive difference in forgiving the ignorant and forgiving those that feign ignorance. A LOT of people knew about the abuse within the church. Some parents allowed their OWN children to be abused.
@@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.
"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
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.
Of course they were ignorant. She didnt communicate her message. We were all trying to figure out why she was starting shit with the pope. She wasn't really communicating. I loved her singing and I'm not a Catholic and even I thought she was just trying to start crap. Other people had to explain it afterwards.
“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 literally didn't change anything all she did was end her own career. I'm not saying she was wrong but her delivery was. She came across angry and preachy very condescending and instantly ended her career.
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.
There are great catholics, she generalized from very few bad apples that exist in all groups, there are millions of catholics that do good and they don't deserve to be maligned
Did she though? I mean, let's be honest, the sexual abuse in the church was bad enough to begin with. But then they moved the rapists around to different places where they couldn't be prosecuted and they could continue hurting more children. THAT was the big issue.
@@wyqz-channel2829 I just think you're wrong. I'm sorry, but if I rip up a picture of Louis Farrakhan, I am very much NOT painting all blacks or Muslims with the same brush; I'm calling out a perverted and evil establishment and the few in charge of it. Can you show me anything that would indicate she was insulting ALL catholics instead of just the administrative arm of that establishment? Because I've seen nothing.
@wyqz-channel2829 I mean, I think at the very WORST you could say she's wrongly calling out half the church. There are as many horrible monsters who are catholic as there are decent people. Maybe more, actually. So no, she was calling out the establishment, not the entire church and all its adherents. And frankly, if you're a catholic who doesn't at LEAST switch parishes after your priest's rape scandal gets covered up, then you're a monster too. So yeah, even if she was calling out regular catholics, which she wasn't, she would've still been right to do so.
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.
@@SwampmanEngineering It's not they love the pope, they just have the understanding that evil is everywhere, even in the Church, in politics, in mosques, in temples, specially in music industry, everywhere, and those people would go to hell. 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.
WRONG!!! Kristofferson told his Sister Sinead to not let the b*stards get her down, her response was, "I'm not down", she knew the power of her convictions. Learn from her.
@@lysanderofsparta3708That's incorrect. She accepted Islam later in her life. Islam loves and venerates Jesus, Son of Mary, peace be upon them. Please seek a local masjid and sit to learn about the beauty of the religion
She gave up everything for the truth such a legend RIP beautiful lady shine in heaven you always shined on earth our hearts forever diamonds are forever to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die fly high angel with other Angel's shine bright reunited with your baby boy Shane no more pain suffering in God's hands now sing heaven's out rest for awhile till we meet again rest in paradise xx
I watched a RHCP documentary a while back and in it Anthony Kiedis talks about his relationship with her where he described it as abusive. In fact one of the songs on the blood sugar sex magik album "I could have lied" was written about her. I assume both parties were at fault but one thing I know for sure was that Anthony was hardcore doing drugs at the time.
She wouldn't let the people use her version of "Foggy Dew" during our rallies of Ireland belongs to the Irish, she was for open bordrr mass immigration of military aged men from the rich beyond imagining Asian continent, the abundant richly resourced African continent.
Representing the effects of generational trauma from sex abuse in Ireland at the hands of the Catholic Church and its enablers. Brave she was. Sinead rest in peace 💚✌️
She was sanctimonious and damaged and it wasn't the Pope who damaged her. Could you imagine if she attacked a religious leader who was Jewish or Muslim? She picked an easy target to virtue signal. That's all.
Rest In Power, Sinead. A true *HEROIC WARRIOR WOMAN* who went to her grave with her convictions so strong that, no matter the consequence or opinions of others, she *ALWAYS* spoke her truth. *THIS* is what a real HERO is. One who stands by their convictions, beliefs & truths not when it's easy to, anyone can do that. HEROISM is shown in the face of danger, hatred & ostracization wherein one is left to stand up to the masses no matter what the outcome. Love *ALWAYS* for You, Gentle Gorgeous & Brilliantly Talented Soul Who was eons ahead of Her time & Gifted with a talent that was so extreme it could be considered *EERIE* 🌹🧡🌹
@@hankgarza4975 It's always Americans who are so ignorant that they don't even understand what communism is and just use it as a blanket term for anything not in line with their conservatism. Go grab a book and educate yourself- when the world makes fun of Americans, they are talking about people like YOU.
Sinead learned the hard way that no matter how mad or how bad you want to protest your thoughts and feelings, it is not cool to do so in front of the world. The pope was not someone to tear their picture up. She never recovered from that childish display.
Only cowards hide their thoughts and feelings from the world. Sinead O’Connor was one of the bravest and most courageous people to ever grace this planet and she stood for what was right
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
I would of booed her. And the next week on SNL, when Joe Pesce showed the photo taped back together, I would have cheered. In fact, I did, when I watched it live.
@@bl8388 - She was using the picture of the Pope as a symbol for the crimes committed by some of the priests. But the audience took the picture of the Pope as a symbol of the church they love and have faith in.
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
People were pissed because they just want their entertainers to "Entertain".... which is why we pay money for these entertainers to make us feel good and be....entertained! NOT remnind us of the realities of the world that are slammed in our faces as it is. I'd be pissed at some political bait N'switch BS too. LOL.
At a bob dylan tribute concert? Cant imagine what kind of music you're listening too if any depth makes you that fragile, i dont want to imagine what frivolous comercial crap that is.
@@sebastianfischer2082 i wonder if dylan was a zionist and she was feeling the irony of a race based religion singing about wars .. it was all very complex.
@@sebastianfischer2082 she was a live artist who kind of acted in the present moment. the irony of singing protest songs to a rich audience who she probably considered to be racist by that time .. and supporting a child abuse institution. She said that photo tearing thing put her back on track and her fame had been a mistake. she was trying to be authentic.

What a stupid statement. In Bob Dylan tribute? All or most of Bob lyrics are about? Do you known really? Or you need to google it? And for that matter, with your stupid statement tell me what she did before in that tribute for crowd behavior? Statement has 2 stupids opinions in just one statement
That Pope disrespect thing was bad but then again look how many priests abused children and young men for years and finally got caught. And are in jail spending time with their kind, maybe she new something we didn't, RIP
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.
She expected to be controversial and stir up a hornet's nest, but be insulated from the fall out. There are almost two billion Catholics in the world, she shouldve done some math.
@@user-ne3yw2cu6c Exactly. John Mellencamp is the same way. There's a video of him cussing out his audience because they were tired of his political shit and just wanted him to sing
Entertainers are, by and large, pretty lousy as political commentators. They should endeavor to entertain, not indoctrinate or propagandize their audience.
Yes, she was right but she went about it the wrong way. Shouting and bawling at the audience about such a sensitive issue was never going to end well for the girl. The audience were there to be entertained, not preached at.....
I remember this. I stand 1 MILLION % behind Sinead then now and always. She had the bravity to do what not just anyone could do. Sinead is a hero in my book. She called foe justice and spoke out against evil. We should PRAY to be as strong as this woman ❤️❤️
All she done was alienate herself if she had went the right way about this instead of acting insane she would have been more accepted personally I think she was off her meds for a long time
She had good intentions but as an entertainer it's easy to get in people's faces by killing the mood.Audiences who have paid to be entertained can be fickle that way.
What a remarkable individual- that the audience back then didn't embrace her is their loss- she still speaks to some of us through these performances that we are privileged to have recordings of.
Beautiful brave Sinead. I feel very emotional when seeing her and seeing the world of abuse we have been living in. This unloving abusive mentality in any culture and also reminiscent of the church and roman power and colonialistic power. However we need to remember that very few people created that and abused the Bible for egoistic purposes. Not the average citizen. So if people condone such evil overruling power, that abuses the name of the lord, for power and fortune, then let their hands be coloured by blood, and IT IS NOT A RACE ISSUE. It is a matter of evil people. But certain structures uphold that kind of power: The Church, some governmental emperial structures, also african brutal tribes, which existed before slavery (the africans used slaves before that and just traded those that were tribal enemies, maybe their own, I don't know much about this particular matter). We should not be so quick to judge, just owing to ignorance of the past. Hitler was a malignant narcissist I believe, but in terms of murders, he is no 3, Stalin no 2 and Mao number 1. Another example is Greenland. The escimos were only there late. They were not the first. The vikings were there before, European settlers were there before, but they killed their way into territorial domination.
@@WillieTonka I agree. She was a mental case and that's all she will be remembered for. Even Prince hated her guts because he went to record with her and she was a total b**ch to him.
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 🤡🥱🙄
Hindsight is a curious thing.. Unlike most of my "Christian" "friends" who were also watching live.. I instantly asked a question I would definitely discover the answers too later... When someone who is arguably still up and coming in the music industry / world.. When they tear up a photo of what "chistians" believe is baby Jesus on earth.. Well, you might want to pay attention, even if you didn't agree then or now.. There are reasons behind someone pissing into the wind of their obviously successful career.. Sinead didn't care about any of it... She blessed us with her music and messages.. I don't feel sorry for anyone, actually.. But, I will continue to shake my head in sarcasm and wonder (sometimes) when people cannot see what is actually going on, and want to cast stones on someone who does, and gives a fawk about abused people..

So full of yourselves. God forbid a band/singer sing or play music. If I want lecturing I'll go to a ted conference, church, or listen to some blue-haired 50lb overweight septum pierced weirdos screaming in the streets about their perpetual victim card or whatever.
She's so beautiful. She's otherworldly. She makes me weep. She begs--Bob Marley begs--a precarious submission, a yielding that might be unrequited. No one is guilty of the acts of their ancestors, no one is a victim of what their ancestors suffered. An entertainer treads a delicate line. On one side, their duty as an activist, a compassionate human being that bemoans the woe of the world and fights for its cessation. On the other, their duty is to bring abandon, happiness, relief and escape from the misery of the individual's being--the audience's collective torment. She leapt, however recklessly, into the abyss on the side of activism. When you see this lithe, beautiful nymph act an authoritarian and preach to you, the paying patron, to call upon you, the humble viewer, to rise up against an unknown, unforeseen evil, to rally against those believed graceful, sanctified, and holy, she requests more than your ticket's worth. Your battle is yours, and yours alone. Your cross you must bear. Though I feel your pain, and though I might strive to give you respite from your burdens, I will always succumb to the burdens of my own existence, so much so, that your burdens become like trifles as mine become Heraclean and insurmountable.
@@rulerofomicronpersei8 Because you are incapable of understanding doesn't make it drivel. You are showing your woeful inadequacies by failing to formulate a worthwhile argument. You use the emoji crutch, and aggravated by your own ignorance, you attack what you cannot comprehend.
Unfortunately, when you stand up against something that you believe in so strongly, as she did, not everyone is going to be on your side. At least she had the guts to still put her message across before leaving the stage. A massive two fingers up at the booers in the audience.
There's only 1 judge, and he is far less harsh. Take a look in the mirror... if you look closely and honestly, your judgment of others will quickly wane.
