We always know when it's you, Sinéad
Esta tarde a boa velha Sinéad O'Connor esteve no jornal The Guardian a responder por chat a algumas questões que lhe mandaram para o chat. Aqui vai um apanhado:
fibionaccisequence has a request:

Frankie Galik asks:
How do you perceive the situation between Israel and Palestine when you wrote the song If You Had A Vineyard and now? Thanks.

SineadOConnor 30 July 2014 1:05pm The entire lyrics of the song are scriptural, I took them from the Tanakh, which is the Judaic scriptures. I like to argue people on their own theology.
There's no scriptural support for the way that Israeli authorities treat the Palestinian people. In fact, quite the opposite.
In the book of the prophet Isaiah, the God character states the following: "Sadness with come to those who build house to house and lay field to field, until there's room but none but you to dwell in the land."
He then goes on to state "sadness will come to those who call evil good, and good evil, who present darkness as light, and light as darkness."
By creating the song, I wanted to show that as I said, there's absolutely no scriptural support for any practising Jewish person to perpetrate the behaviour the God character refers to above.

Chrissie Hynde once said that you could sing the phone dictionary - I think she meant it as a compliment. Has there ever been a time when you attempted to sing a song you loved -only to discover that your voice didn’t really suit the song?

SineadOConnor 30 July 2014 1:18pm Yes - a few times. I can't think of the names of the songs at the moment, but yes. It's quite hard to sing Bob Dylan songs, unless they're the romantic ones. The ones that he refers to as 'finger-pointing songs' are harder to sing because he has a particular character or delivery, the way he enunciates things.

Galaxina asks:
Do you think you’d have made it as an artist if you’d started out in 2014?
Guardian contributor
SineadOConnor 30 July 2014 1:36pm Yes, because of my enormous boob job. You can pump them up and down you know, depending on your mood.

Do you ever participate on the internet anonymously? Commenting on social networks, beneath news stories, on forums, etc. via an unidentifiable pseudonym?

What’s your favourite insult? And least favourite compliment?
Guardian contributor
SineadOConnor 30 July 2014 1:57pm In answer to your first question: Suck my dick, bitch.
To your second: I don't like people saying I look good because I'm skinny. I don't like words like 'good' or 'bad' being associated with female weight.
