    That’s highly debatable to be honest, wouldn’t rate her at all in that category. She’s more famous for the bat**** things she’s done outside of music than anything artistically.

    She had the potential to be when she was younger, but she never came close to fulfilling that potential.She always has been a lost soul, with too many other creations and distractions in her life, particularly the religious paths she has taken which have been bizarre and maybe even naive.

    Even then she's only remembered for tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live. The only song of note from her during that time was Nothing Compares 2 U.

    It’s not even that good a song lets be honest, there is nothing exceptional about the lyrical content, the melody or the vocal delivery - but it’s always heralded as some masterpiece. I never understood the appeal of it

    Not a fan of her latter years, but fair play if she carries through with this. FYI having mental health issues doesn't preclude someone from working in health.

    There's limits though and having numerous full on breakdowns that required in-patient care does not suggest a career caring for dying people.

    Mostly because it was written by Prince. Its not a bad song, but if he hadn't have committed career suicide she probably would have released more and better songs that would have made Nothing Compares forgettable.

    Mandinka was good in fairness.

    Not much of note since then, bar a cover of a Prince Rogers Nelson song.

    Now Prince, there's a talent.

    So she's back to being Sinead? Or is that only when she wants to be recognised for something?

    Put her in charge of the medication trolley

    Her main talent is in her voice rather than songwriting. Most of her best work has been covering others songs.

    It's hardly news. She mentioned it on her Twitter feed quite a while ago.
