Sinead O?Connor has been in the news quite a lot recently. First she was getting married and everyone was all ?ZOMG?! Really?? and then it turns out she was going to get divorced for some bollocks, and everyone was all ?Really?? and then she got married again and no one commented and just sighed loudly before quickly flicking to the MetroLife page of the Metro.
Well the ?outspoken? star has let her lips flap again and complained about something which we all know she wouldn't like. Who?s getting the brunt of her ire? Well, TV Talent shows, that's who.
The famous O?Connor has publicly slammed them on the basis that they lure young and easily influenced people into a ?worship of fame.?
Yes Sinead, we all know that The X Factor attracts the stupidest of people who can't be bothered to develop a talent and instead want instant fame. Telling us that is like telling us that rain comes from the sky, or that eventually Eamonn Holmes is going to upset another sex worker at some point.
Speaking to Absolute Radio O?Connor blathered on saying
?Well sadly that's the way the world is, that we're all brought up to believe material success and everything is where it's at, and the music business has gone that way hasn't it? With all these shows, ?Pop Idol? and blah, blah.
The entertainment is fantastic, but often those shows, they give this kind of thing, it's like this worship of fame, that people just want to be famous, do you know what I mean? You don't really hear people going ?Oh I want to be a singer? or ?I've got something, I really want to get it off my chest or whatever.?
Which strikes us as odd, because isn't the whole reason that she's in the news is not because any discernible talent, and instead, because she's got a train crash of a marriage? And because of that time that she ripped up a picture of The Pope that time? She's essentially an early 90s precursor to Frankie Cocozza.
But while slagging the very idea of the shows, she did say that she would like to be a judge on a show like The X Factor. Not for the fame, or the mountains of money and high quality skunk, but to give some of the contestants some support.
?Yeah I'd consider it and I'm always amused when I watch those shows, because I think to myself ?Those poor young people on stage at those shows, like ?Pop Idol? or ?X Factor?, really they want to enter into a particular world?, but when they look from the stage down to the panel they should see that this is a world you don't want to enter because you're going to end up like these games.?
Clever Sinead, taking down X Factor from the inside. Like an Irish cancer. That's a foolproof plan isn't it? It’s obvious that one person can take down a massive institution like X Factor. Of course. No, no, it's not the stupidest plan ever, at all.
We soon expect to see O?Connor tearing a picture of Tulisa up after singing ?Nothing Compares 2 U? for the billionth time and calling Simon Cowell ?white devil? on one of the live shows.
What a totally boring thing for a very boring woman who clearly has nothing else to contribute to do.
