Greatest Female Artist - 1st Round - Diana Ross vs Sinead O'Connor

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Skinheed suffers from the fact that her best-known song is soppy background music for a middle-class 1980s dinner party.  It's by far the worst track on that album.

 

Still, this is Ross all the way.

The original certainly beats the rip off.

 

 

Ha ha the guy singing looks like Jean Claude Van Damme. Didnt look at it long enough to see if he dances like him.

She surely gets some credit for the most moving music video of all time.

Not the first to do an intense, prolonged stare at the camera until you unintentionally drag up all the shite in your life and reduce yourself to tears.

She is crying in that video because she just lost her mum. 

 

I'm sure you already knew that but I couldn't help myself

Well the Smiths made it to the British bands final so there’s hope. I’m anticipating a Polly Harvey versus Kate bush final then the middle aged demographic and memories of their first wank will probably swing it for Kate. 

My mate's dad used to own the farm next to the Harveys in Dorset

He didn't know her very well but said she was a good laugh when he did bump into her.

Her brother is the one mainly running the farm whilst she swans about being a rock star. He's a really good guy so my mate says

I think poor Sinead suffers with her mental health

"Message for folks who have tickets for next year's shows: those shows are being postponed until 2022 so that I may go into a one year trauma and addiction treatment program because I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts," she wrote.

Miss Ross. 

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Snead publicly ruined her career trying to expose nonces in the Church. 
 

It’s a tick from Me.

Yeah but she also sung this though

That's like saying Pol Pot was kind to a dog once so we should forget about his genocide.

I voted for Sinead O'Connor because of this, the 'Love is All Around Us' of the mid-80s and a staple of shit school discos for fucking ever-

 

 

That Wet Wet fuckin' Wet song is the pits.

I didn't know that. 

 

I sort of knew that the difference is that she was crying because of shit that had happened to her, while Elvis was crying because he'd fucked up all his most important relationships through his own arsehole "rock star" behaviour.  

[Numero Veinticinco]

I voted for O'Conner on the strength of one song. 

[Juniper]

Honestly I’ve only (to my knowledge) heard one Sinead O’Connor song and I think we all know which one that is. 
 

Also, I have no desire to search out more of her stuff.

 

Diana Ross, easily. 

[cloggypop]

I do know Mandinka. 

[Tarwater]

She was excellent singing with others.

[Gnasher]

The producer who won best video at the brits for the prince cover song said "thank god for onions" when referring to O'connor's crying performance.

 

Ross meanwhile showed Kevin de Brun the best way to take a penalty so she wins this by a couple of hat-tricks 

 

 

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

[Jack the Sipper]

I don't feel strongly about either of them, but seeing that Wossy's winning I went for Sinead on the basis of her covers of She Moved Through the Fair.

 

 

[Code]

I thought this was good when it came out, I still do, but her discography is to small to get close to Ross, and she should not really be in the competition. 
 

 

[Bjornebye]

This is one of the greatest vocals ever by anyone

I saw Sinead at a gig to raise funds for charity in around 2003/2004 I think and I was about 4ft from the front and she was unbelievable. I was gobsmacked to be honest, such an amazing voice. An awful pity her head is mush.

Yeah mate. Her voice is just unbelievable, as good as it gets. Feel very sorry for her.

In fairness to Gnash, that Ross pen was so fucking awful it shouldn't count as f******l.
