I have watched many interviews of Sinead and most of them are either digging through her past or try to get her to say something controversial, they rarely talk to her in a humane way or about the music, so WELL DONE with the interview.
Sinead, you & your music has saved my life many times. I am 46 yrs old & I have been suicidal since I was 21. Sinead has the gift of voice, word's & music! (Your music 'Speaks to my Soul' -Your Gift has done more for me than any amount of 'counselling' has ever done for me!) Sinead, You owe me nothing but i think my daughter who is 28 would like to say Thank You. TY 2 both Beth & Sinead O'Conner xx
@@sandesazabt1395 maybe you should respect people to choose their own faith? as she find it by herself everyone can find the truth. "There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower." Surah Al-Baqarah 256
I’m upset I didn’t know you had done this interview. If Sinead is even looking at any of these comments - Sinead, in 1987 I bought three albums. The lion and the cobra was one. This girl was forever changed. Thank you for the clarity, the struggle and the transparency.
Wonderful Interview... love how the quick-fire questions bring out almost a vulnerable joy. Sinéad's music accompanied, and gave outlet during my hardest times; making music to not go crazy helped others to stay in this world, too, and I'm so thankful.
Sinead has such a pretty smile. When Beth asked her the quick fire questions @ the end I noticed Sinead's eyes light up & she started to smile, it was so great to see her genuinely happy.
I’m thinking of you today Beth. This is Stacy from Seattle, WA, and this was a terrific interview with a remarkable soul. Treat yourself tenderly going forward. It’s hard to lose friends at such a young age.
Saw her many many years ago,back in the 90’s. She was opening for her boyfriend (Peter Gabriel) She was totally amazing and captivating. Thank you for this amazing interview! Thank you for bringing your podcast back. Much love
I'm not into any religion. That said I respect anyone that is. All I know is Sinead live is genuinely something special to watch and listen to. I agreed with every quick-fire question apart from choosing sweet, I love pork scratching's That said who cares, The point is she had a beautiful, powerful voice, and thanks to youtube she will never, ever be forgotten
Sinead should be a role model for people to learn, v honest, v perceptive normal open person, big respect.. nothing special she is saying, just as it is and a nice lady...I like her.
Brilliant interview Beth,, congrats on getting to chat with the greatest female singer ever !! Love Sinead, could listen to her voice forever, looking forward to seeing her shows again next year.. Thanks for sharing with us x
Thank you for the interview. I downloaded the podcast. Thank you for how kind and fun of a host you are and the questions... Sinead for doing this. May God keep both of you and your families safe and strong during these times.
This was great Beth! It's amazing how big your channel has gotten. Congrats! Would love to see more conversations like this with various artiste if possible.
SHUHADA: The - HIGHEST - distinction (Ultimate sacrifice) SADAQAT: The - BEST - Title (highest truth) ~~~~Hmm... Sister You took it all away. I appreciate you more now.
Sinead O‘Connor is one of the most fascinating and authentic artists, in my opinion, and a breathtaking and powerful singer to boot. Her traditional Irish stuff especially is just phenomenal. Her career really took a hit when she tore up that picture of the pope on TV. She was right then and she is right now, but it took the world another good 15 years to catch up. She’s amazing.
@@BethRoars The only problem was that 'Nothing Compares to You' was playing in my head during all of the interview. Very very good job. I would have been very intimidated.
I am extremely surprised and happy to see her the way she is. Her entire posture, facial expression and the tone of her talking voice have changed. A couple years prior her stature alone was so insecure, shy, unstable and she looked very concerned the entire time, whereas now she sits very relaxed, yet with a strong core and with her arms on the table, which not only shows confidence but peace within herself. Before she sat in a way where she seemed like she was trying to hide and curl up in a ball. I am SO happy for her that she’s finally found peace!
I watched this today. John Lennon would have turned 80 yesterday (twice the age that He was allowed here on Earth.) Your description of Sinead O’Connor was/is succinct: “approached singing with complete emotional freedom and embraced the ugly and aggressive as well as the hauntingly beautiful and fragile... Woman who embraced this contradiction so readily, both in Her Music and in Her day-to-day Life.” This reminded me of a song/group request that I have been thinking of asking You to look at/listen to. The Band, probably off of the album, “Stage Fright” or live from film, “The Last Waltz” (mentioned by Sinead O’Conner). I was thinking the song, “Stage Fright”, although everyone knows “The Weight”. “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” (Levon Helm lead vocals... also covered by Joan Biaz etc.) and other songs might peak Your interest more. All passionate singers in that group (The Band), but I have always been especially struck by the emotion of voice, particularly as delivered by the late Great Rick Danko (bass player). Perhaps You will look into this sometime, if You have/find time. You must have a particularly busy life. Anyway, I appreciate Your videos, even though I have yet to truly find my singing voice. I am more of a visual person but I am analytical, intellectual and music has always been a base for creativity and an inlet/outlet for the full spectrum of emotion. Gratitude 🙏🏻 💗
Hey! Thank you so much for this splendid interview! Good job! I can't thank you enough for this! You seemed so professional in here with the one and only Sinéad ❤
I am impressed that you were able to get Sinead on your podcast. After watching the video you'd posted right before this one, I'd now like to see you interview Siouxsie Sioux.
Much love to a brilliant artist, I do wonder if religion is a surrogate parent for her on.a subconcious level. She is a super strong woman, strong spirit and so authentic, I love her... I made protest music, it fell on deaf ears... A long difficult road to speak truth in the current time
She sure touched my heart, with her music and voice. Nothing beats "Troy" 1988, at Pinkpop Netherlands. I was 8 at the time, ... I cried!! She was fierce, and somewhat scary, but so beautyfull! ( It was broadcasted on tv as well, I wasn't physically there at that moment ) I loved her then, I love her still. Thanks for sharing this, Beth.
Wow. Congrats Beth! This is such a coup for your career! Interviewing Sinead O'Connor! Don't forget about all us RU-vid Followers when you make it bigger!
French singer Mélanie Georgiades who suffered 5 years of depression and mental health problems, she was hospitalized and was kept on medications, but all gone in five minutes of Islamic prayer, it was a miracle in the broad day light. Here is another video posted by an American sister, who suffered life long depression and darkness at heart she felt, to get rid of it, she studied all religions you can think of, but nothing fit right, nothing feel right, until she came to Islam, the life long depression is gone, it was a miracle in the broad day light
I wholeheartedly disagree that songs about love are songs about nothing. Amy Winehouse made a break up album that was a masterpiece. We are bombarded from 24/7 News, sometimes we want music to be an escape from the divisiveness of politics.
I agree. Not all songs/albums about love are about nothing... But I can TOTALLY see where she's coming from. A lot of what's out there. Is either EXTREMELY PETTY and self flagellating.. It's essentially a nothing song. Madonna's early career. A lot of her stuff dealt with sex.. yes. There were some songs that MOST CERTAINLY were not! Spice Girls? Kinda vacant.. Brittany Spears! Vapid and dumb af!! 🤣 I think that type of "love song" may be what she's referring to. And I'm not necessarily saying that the songs are bad.. or even good for that matter. But lyrically. There's not much of anything there
Just a question: is a break up album not about (the end) of love? But you`re right. Another example would have been the Cranberries. There are still enough performers who care about lyrics. Rag`n`Bone Man, Sabaton, Alicia Keys, ...
Imagine if the church ever reached out to her for healing, understanding and forgiveness for the sins committed in the church against the young, instead of attacking her as part of the coverup, how different this would all have been... How different her painful journey might have been. The church seems disconnected from the Holy spirit these days. She always wanted to love and be loved by the church, and if she had received any of that I doubt she would have reverted to Islam.
I'd like to see a reaction to Nathaniel Rateliff - his whole solo catalogue is outstanding but I've really been struck by Time Stands, his live performance of it, you can see it in his eyes
Wow she really hasn't aged. I deleted my first comments, did not come across the right way because of the religion thing. As long as she's doing what makes her happy and fulfilled. But she was such an amazing artist. Congrats to you for the interview! Milestones for sure. And what an amazing take on one of the music industry changed. After John died. She's actually kind of right as far as the timeline. Never thought of that before. I was hesitant to watch this, but what a great interview! I shared it on Facebook
While the 15% dislike ratio isn't too terrible, it just goes to show that Sinead was right when she said "These are dangerous days, to say what you feel is to dig your own grave" in the song "Black Boys on Mopeds."
@@rodbrewster4629 By Truth, I MEAN, something that is true absolutely, as opposed to something that is objectively false. I consider the philosophy of relativism a false system of belief. Something that is "true for you" must also be true for everyone everywhere otherwise we are just dealing with human feelings and cultural prejudices. The topic of religious belief came up in the podcast if you listened to it. You, (and Ms. O'Connor, if she is reading this) might find this interesting. Regarding Catholicism St. Vincent of Lerins is famously quoted: "Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all."
Was doing the quick rounds at the end with her and it was nice seeing how we picked the same answers. This was a very interesting interview, thanks Beth!
