Sinead O'Connor - I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss Album Review


Two years ago, 'How About I Be Me And You Be You' marked a stunning return to form for the irrepressible and iconic Irish artist Sinead O'connor. Its predecessor, 'Theology', whilst by no means a bad album, was not her best work. Having taken a longer gap between that album and her last as she grappled with issues of health and relationships, Sinead appeared in the main to have got her mojo back. Thankfully, on 'I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss', she has not only held onto it but also demonstrated how she has clearly been buoyed by the love and appreciation shown by critics and fans alike by channelling some of that towards making another strong, positive and self-affirmed album.

Sinead O'Connor - I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss Album Review

Once you get past the clunky at best, bumper sticker at worst, well-intentioned but frankly awful album title, the music more than ever stands up to close scrutiny. Sinead's ability to craft and deliver a song with moving emotive passion has rarely been in question and the twelve new songs on this, her tenth album, are no exception. Her voice is still a truly individual and beguiling instrument that is so expressive, she never fails to own each song she performs. Sinead imparts such conviction and gives such an impassioned performance throughout 'I'm Not Bossy...' from the softly sung autobiographical plea of 'How About I Be Me' to the last bars of the aching intimacy of 'Streetcars'.

Sinead's need to love and be loved are more evident than ever on this album ("Always gotta be the lioness, taking care of everyone else"). Her four failed marriages may have taken a toll on her resilience but her belief in the institution of love has seemingly never been stronger. Perhaps it's an age thing or just how comfortable she has become in dealing with herself and her true feelings; whatever the reason, Sinead's motherly instincts and her protective, nurturing nature stretch far further than trying to persuade Miley Cyrus she may not be doing herself, or her gender, any favours in the way she has been promoting herself.

Miley Cyrus Given Grammar Lesson By Sufjan Stevens: "#Get It Right The Next Time"


Miley Cyrus Sufjan Stevens Sinead Oconnor

Miley Cyrus has been hit by the force of the pen yet again after indie singer Sufjan Stevens wrote an open letter addressed to the most talked about star of the moment, to add to the acerbic words she already received from Sinead O'connor. However, instead of attacking Miley's look, perma-tongue or annoying twerk trademark dance style, Sufjan took issue with the grammar in her latest song, 'Get It Right.'

Miley Cyrus

"Dear Miley. I can't stop listening to #GetItRight (great song, great message, great body)," writes Sufjan: so far so good. But he then adds "maybe you need a quick grammar lesson. One particular line causes concern: "I been laying in this bed all night long." Miley, technically speaking, you've been LYING, not LAYING, an irregular verb form that should only be used when there's an object, i.e. "I been laying my tired booty on this bed all night long." Take note, Miley.

In the original blog post on her website, O'Connor told Cyrus that she was "extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos," adding that Miley will "obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it's the music business or yourself doing the pimping."

The Miley Cyrus-Sinead O'Connor War Of Words Gets Knocked Up A Notch


Miley Cyrus Sinead Oconnor Amanda Bynes

So the latest celebrity feud happens to be between Miley Cyrus and Sinead O'connor, who have begun getting at each other's throats recently and airing all their dirty laundry over the internet. It started with a veiled compliment from Miley, which became words of advice passed down from Sinead, and now it looks like an actual feud, with insults and back chat and everything.

Miley CyrusSinead O'Connor
The pair differ somewhat...

For those of you who need catching up, the whole thing began with a Rolling Stone interview, in which Miley discussed her 'Wrecking Ball' video and how she modelled it on Sinead's 1991 video for 'Nothing Compares 2 U.' Having been the 'it girl' herself for a while, Sinead responded to the comparison with some friendly words of advice, warning the 20-year-old not to "prostitute" herself for the benefit of the music industry. Then things got nasty, because instead of acknowledging when someone was trying to be helpful, Miley decided to be a little twerp instead and sent out a few below the belt tweets.

Sinead O'Connor, How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? Album Review


In these days of media overload, Internet intrusion and social networking links, it can be increasingly difficult to separate out content and quality from personality and perception. You sometimes can't hear the music through the gossip and tittle-tattle. Partially this is because expressing an opinion about a subject beyond the normal remit of a musician is hardly ever received with universal acceptance. Whilst many may prefer to keep
