Sinead O'Connor

Yeah, this lady is quite a character too! A little tale here........

She broke into the Irish pop scene at 21 years of age in 1988 with "Nothing Compares" as her best hit. She always kept her hair shaven but I have seen pictures of her with very short hair too..........much like Mawi AF's . She is most distinctive and controversial pop star of the 90s. An outspoken lady who speaks her mind. During a concert while singing "War" she cried out " Fight the real enemy!" and then ripped up a pix of the Pope. The audience was stunned and the NBC went to commercial. (The latter was eventually fined $2.5mil). She had actually changed a line in the song from denoting racial abuse to sexual abuse. The "act" was symbolic of the tearing of the church's secret shut up for decades.

Once she refused to sing at a concert if the US anthem were played. I never got any details as to why, but it made Frank Sinatra real mad and wanted to "kick her _ss". She also received a death threat from a pro-Israeli group while in Jerusalem. So she withdrew from performing at the so called peace festival there. She was ordained as a priest by an Irish Bishop who was from a splinter Catholic group. Of course the Vatican refused to recognise it. She retired from the music industry in 2003 to teach Catholicism to children. However, she returned in 2005 to perform but is now focusing on genres like gospel, chants and roots. She prefers to be known as Mother Bernadette Mary. So I think she may still keep her hair short or even shaven!
