RTE 1 - For One Night Only - (Sinéad O'Connor) - August 3rd, 2012.

Lady Chatterton

After the success of series one Uncle Gaybo returns with a second series. His guests over the next five weeks will be:

Sinéad O'Connor, Finbar Furey, Aslan, The Sawdoctors and Dickie Rock.

Kicking off the series with a bang is Sinéad O'Connor. Following on from the release of her critically acclaimed album 'How about I be me and You be You' Sinéad brings us on a musical journey that spans the length of her varied career.

No stone is left unturned as Gay delves into the stories behind the songs and the many events that occurred around the release of her albums. Now, 20 years on from the infamous 'Pope' incident she reflects on the effect it had on her career.

Singing hits from throughout her career, her latest single 'The Wolf is getting married' the story behind her biggest hit 'Nothing compares 2U' her favourite song of all time, Psalm 33 and many more...

Throughout the show, Sinéad talks openly about her struggles with Depression, Religion, where her love of Music comes from, her relationship with her Mother, how her outspoken nature has gotten her into trouble and her hopes for the future.

Looking forward to this - Loved the last series

Neeson

Can't believe she's being dragged out again. Sick of looking at her. Gay seems to have a strange infatuation with her.

Hope to see this song performed if Shane can make it sober

RedRightHand

An elderly man with a slightly sleazy look in his eyes for a forty-something tattooed nutter. No thanks, it was weird enough the first time.

Settling back to watch this now. I notice that in the 5 acts listed for the series Sharon Shannon is not listed.. when were these recorded? I won tickets for the recording of her programme, last month I think, but couldn't make it at the last minute. I love Sinead singing btw - mad and all as she is

grey_so_what

I really like this song...:)

I'd say her show is going to be the Christmas Special. Just keeping the best until last

I'm glad Sinead lost the high heels she wore on the LLS 50th......

She still has amazing eyes.

Sinéad is so comfortable talking to Gaybo, it is lovely to see.

I'd say he is a comfort blanket to her, they know each other so well.

I didn't know Sinead lost her mother in a car crash. That's a traumatic experience.

Lady Chatterton

I really hope she sings 'Nothing Compares U', I love that song.

The "Thief of your Heart" sends shivers down my spine, I always play that really loud....It is so full of feeling....

JonathanAnon

Fupping Grasshole

Sinead O'Connor has and always will be a continuing source of inspiration for us all.

Can't stand this self obsessed attention seeking tw¥t, used to think she she was ok but life is too short for her bull$hit

I have to agree..

"I dont care that you dumped me... cos I wouldnt have got to shag everybody else"..

You wish she'd ever grow the fk up, and stop trying to "shock" everybody.. What now is she gonna rip up a picture of Angela Merkel?

JonathanAnon

I see Brian Ormond finally got a job..

The "Slow Set" is long gone missus, you're showing your age :D

You're never too old..............

Ageism it's called nowadays!......:eek:

sudzs

Oh no... she's going on about god.....

Cordelia2010

She still has the lungs when she's not fussing with a band.:rolleyes:

JonathanAnon

OH come on.. for how long are we gonna keep on saying "this is great", JUST because it's Sinead O'Connor... This is truly awful... And I missed the start, why is she dressed like a priest?

furiousox

Hell of a voice, 'Mandinka' still sounds amazing but the whole "I'm a nun, I'm a priest, I'm a lesbian, I'm looking for a man, I'm getting married, I'm getting divorced, I'm going on tour, I'm retiring from music forever, I'm on rte1 tonight" thing is kinda tiresome now.

grey_so_what

I see the heels are back.

That's a fierce weary song.

"Stretched on a Grave".....

I'm starting to get a bit depressed.....

haymur

Not only has she lost the head her voice is gone downhill as well: eek:

JonathanAnon

ffs Clint Vel-whore... Do RTE ever hire anybody outside their close bunch of friends..

Lisha

She sounds a lot better singing this song

I agree grey so what . thief of your heart is a fab song

JonathanAnon

Ring 999, I think the bass player is having a stroke..

:D Your post made me giggle. I agree to an extent, I was really p'd off hearing about the latest sinead-ism myself but I'm kind of over that now cos I think she's very honest. I don't know her and I don't have a fight to champion for her I just intuitively believe she's genuine. It's a pain in the hole for people who like her music but don't care and don't want to know about her views as an individual, and obviously a pain for people who don't even like her voice. But I am kind of resigned to, that's her, you get the entire her, like she said at start of show she engages mouth before brain filters and she is what she is.
I respect it. I wouldn't like to wake up to it every day but nevertheless I respect it. Enough people are scared to be themselves. Waffle waffle...over!

grey_so_what

Gay had Sinead eating out of his hand.......

I enjoyed the show, Masterclass for Mr. T!

JonathanAnon

Another Whiny ... play something that has more than two chords ffs... even Wonderwall, anything.. :mad:
