This iconic video of Sinead O’Connor performing with Kylie Minogue & Natalie Imbruglia deserves a re-watch
statement from her family on Wednesday.O’Connor, like the Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, and other alt-voices of the ’90s, certainly marched to her own drum.
When she ripped a picture of Pope John Paul II during a 1992 Saturday Night Live performance, the trajectory of her career shifted entirely as she became the face of controversy.Still, the fierce LGBTQ+ ally (who once declared herself “three-quarters heterosexual, a quarter gay”) always had found friends with the gays.
And a quote about the performance from a 2021 interview with The Guardian, shared in her remembrance, has the internet reflecting on just how badass she was.“[After SNL], there was no doubt about who this b*tch is,” she said. “There was no more mistaking this woman for a pop star … people say, ‘Oh, you f*cked up your career’ but they’re talking about the career they had in mind for me.”As the internet remembers O’Connor, one of her most iconic performances from 1998 has been making the rounds.
Alongside Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia, she slayed a cover of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” on TFI Friday. The trio of artists joined forces to perform on the show alongside Dave Stewart, as a backing group that was cheekily announced as “A Tramp, A Drunk and An Unfit Mother.” And as Twitter user @yannhatchuel wrote, “Now this is star power.”Sinéad O’Connor, Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia performing Sweet Dreams.Now this is star power.
