An Honorary Spanish Diva, I am

...since I took my love away :)


Hi folks! Thanks for coming back to my little e-hole on internetland. I
'preciate your love.


So, nothing much has been going on for me. Life's at a normal standstill. No drama at the time being and trying to keep it that way. It's like when I see my mother calling I go "daaaang!! dont fuck up my streak!". Lol, but I've been good.

So this past Sunday, I finally got a chance to see one of my "A-List Artists" live after many years of wanting to...SINEAD O'CONNOR.



Now keep in mind, regardless of her stature in the pop world and in the general psyche of popular culture who remembers her as the original angry young woman of pop music who "killed her career", Sinead has always been someone I admired and all throughout high school, "The Lion and The Cobra" never left my backpack of CD's I listened to. So its safe to say I was looking forward to this show.

Foremost let me say I SCORED 2nd ROW TICKETS!! I was originally going to buy cheap seats as I am poor and recently got my first real check so I didn't want to spend so much. But I saw on eBay a seller selling these tickets for relatively the same price as cheap seats, placed my bid and to my surprise I won!! So it was so awesome!

She had an opening act, some Irish dude named Damien Dempsey. He was alright, but once he was done, within 5 minutes Sinead and her band come out and she opens with this song


She's not a performer. She is not an artist who looks to make a connection with her audience. But that voice...omg, it commands its own immediate connection with you whether you want to or not. Its hypnotic. Normally at shows I sing along with the artist..but for the reasons I listed above, I couldn't do anything else other than fix my vision and attention to this little petite Irish woman. She sang quite a few of her "hits" on this show, alot of songs I was surprised to hear like "You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart" and "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" from the soundtracks to "In The Name Of The Father" and "You've Got Mail" respectively.

Naturally, she sang her sole global #1 smash "Nothing Compares 2 U", dedicating it to Will Ferrell in the hopes that he will sleep with her someday. LOL! I love Sinead, she is hilarious. She also sang "Thank You For Hearing Me" and "Three Babies". Sorry S.box, she didn't delight us with her rendition of "Guide Me God" :)

My boo boo took a camera but the pictures didn't come out well because the whole stage at the Symphony Center is WHITE so the reflection made everything on stage look dark. This was the best one out of the bunch. Either way, I was too focused on Sinead to even think of distracting myself.


So yes, one more A-lister that I have seen live :) I'm satisfied! And was so pleasantly surprised as to how much more of a great singer Sinead is live. I'll be honest, her last 3 albums haven't really used her trademark banshee powerful voice like she used to in her early days...but live she let it all go and then some. So she hasn't lost it at all! OMG! I would totally see her again but for now I am content that I was able to finally appease myself at least once.
