You're quite right, my mistake. From her Wikipedia entry: In the late 1990s, Bishop Michael Cox of the Independent Catholic group performed the ceremony of priestly ordination on O'Connor. The Roman Catholic Church believes that ordination of women is impossible, and that a person simulating the sacrament of ordination incurs latae sententiae excommunication. <23> The bishop had contacted her to offer ordination following her appearance on the RTÉ's Late Late Show, during which she told the presenter, Gay Byrne, that had she not been a singer, she would have wished to have been a Catholic priest. After her service of ordination, she indicated that she wished to be called Mother Bernadette Mary. |

Along with "Empire" with Bomb The Bass, Sinead's high water mark.

I love a gal who can stand up for her convictions and her beauty and her faults. |

Good song, but would be much better if the drums weren't so boring.

Love the rhythm of this song, and the staccato piano and strings. Emotional but not overwrought. Well done.  |

It would be nice if I never have to hear this voice nor the the pretentious orchestrations again.
I will not rate this song as I do not want to rate '1's.

I saw her on her first tour in LA years ago. Here was this little thing up on stage in tights, no hair, in boots belting out a single ending note for what seemed eternity. At the end, you could have heard a pin drop. We all stood there amazed forgetting to even clap.
I know the feeling—she is the only artist I've ever seen live that actually made me cry. It was stunning. |

Check out Damien Dempsey...he sings with his Dublin accent wholly intact and it sounds great! |
