Her 16-day marriage was literally a drive-thru. ☹ Sinead had a very troubled girlhood in Ireland. Does anyone know the details? ---

I love Jesus & female breasts & I like Sinead O’Connor’s music & think she can be pretty. I could never get past the Jesus tattoo on Sinead’s upper breast. ---

I share your seemingly incongruous love of Jesus and female breasts. Sinead has added more tats recently, but I haven’t noticed the Jesus tat on her … chest. ---

In all fairness, Kim K. was in it to get money, somehow, and publicity. Ms. O’Connor is bipolar and possibly cracked out - it probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Looking at the poor creature in that strapless dress, she resembles nothing so much as a Marine getting ready to do a cross-dressing musical number in the base talent show. ---

Way back when, I (and others) joked about [her wanting to counsel dying people](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=3399848), and I put it down to a huge ego. I was frankly astounded to see other posters defending this bad idea (well, not DtC 😃 ). My skepticism was absolutely correct, but since then I saw she has real problems and I feel sorry for her. She desperately needs help, but she isn’t getting it. I hope she does get it before she fucks up her life much more. ---

I have loved Sinead O’Connor’s music so deeply and dearly for years, and I hate to see her showing up in the news because she’s said something crazy or pulled a stunt like this. She’s struggled with severe clinical depression and bipolar for a long time, and it wasn’t long ago that she posted some suicidal thoughts on Twitter or somewhere. I just wish she could get some help and stop being so self-destructive. It really breaks my heart to hear people make fun of her. She’s a musical genius, and her talent blows today’s popular female artists completely out of the water. Here are a few of my favorite Sinead songs… Feel So Different [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XuSJHDdbuk) Drink Before the War [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYvRH22L9EI) Just Like You Said it Would Be [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Qy5ZhDTxcFA/maxresdefault.jpg "SINÉAD O'CONNOR - just like u said it would b (1987)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy5ZhDTxcFA) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sinead-o-connor-makes-kim-kardashian-seem-like-an-old-married-woman/607936.md?page=2)
