No one put her up here up to now, but she deserves her place. Troubled, a drama queen, probably a handful to be with, she once said about herself that she had lived her life "like a public car crash", but what a voice!

And all melisma-free; Da-yay-yay-yave will appro-hoo-hoo-hoove.
Never listened to her.
But an untimely death is regrettable. R.I.P.
R.i.P. Sinead O'Connor. She was a tragic, but talented artist. I found her death, though, a little bit more unexpected than Randy Meisner's. And I suppose the obvious reason for that is that she was so much younger.
Sinead's death saddens me. She was the real deal and always stuck to her convictions. Can't say that for most people.
I've listened to her since she first started. I only have her first album, Lion and the Cobra, and I still really enjoy it. Marco Pirroni played guitar on it.
RIP to a talented but troubled soul.
