Those videos are interesting but they don’t quite sit right with me

I considered that they could have come over as exploitatitive or mocking if done in the wrong way, but after watching many of them I concluded that they are actually done pretty respectfully and not in any way designed for lols at the expense of other cultures.

He was on the RTE tribute to Sinead last night. Came across as a serious pseud, and a creep.

Everyone was going on about how Gay Byrne patronised her when she was on the Late Late, but there was footage of her on the LLS and she was clearly unwell (this was when she'd been ordained in some unrecognized church), and he was clearly concerned for her.

Aladdin beat me to it. While I won't say that it's good to know that it was natural causes, that's better than what I thought at the time might be the alternative.

I agree.

I do think that Sinéad's heart was broken...

David Holmes? How was he creepy?

I never had that vibe from him.

 

[girasol]

People do die in their 50s of natural causes and losing a young son would break any mother's heart, more so the way it happened

Yes, at least increases the chances that it was peaceful.

Her family asked that they remove it
.apparently... they felt it was not a fitting representation of Sinéad.

I don't think it looked like her at all.
Horrible.

She sang such a lovely version of this song....

 

[Siouxsie]

Her version of Danny Boy on a Christmas show in 1993 was played at my Uncle's funeral, my mum heard it and mythered me to find a way that the funeral directors could play it in the church as they only had commercial recordings of it....it took some doing but it was well worth the effort. The acoustics in the church gave it an even deeper haunting beautifulness, if that was possible

I found that performance on YouTube after she died. Made me cry.
