Movie Reviews of Sinead O'Connor - Goodnight, Thank You, You've Been a Lovely Audience

Movie Review: Sinead's performance shines
Summary: 5 Stars

Sinead shines in this concert, which, thankfully, was not her last. Her voice, as always, is amazing, going from a whisper to a roar. The concert has a personal feel, due to the smallish audience size, which is really nice. During this performance, she sings songs from Sean Nos-Nua, as well as "Nothing Compares to You", and some other favorites (John, I Love You; Fire On Babylon; I am Stretched on Your Grave, Three Babies, among others). The traditional Irish favorites have a new spin on them, beginning with "Molly Malone" that Sinead performs almost as a dirge instead of as the joyful ditty it normally is done as. Upon reflection of the words, though, one realizes that it is about a ghost, after all.

Overall, the tone of this concert is a bit nostalgic. Miss O'Connor billed it as her final performance before retiring to pursue a private life. Thankfully this did not turn out to be the case. But it is reflected in the choice of songs, and the quality of the music. Beautiful as the songs are, and even knowing that it is not her final act, I still find myself getting a bit misty-eyed during while she's singing.

For those of you who, like me, want to not only enjoy the singing, but also get a taste of the personality of the artist, this DVD will not disappoint. Miss O'Connor puts herself entirely into her music while singing, and grins elfishly to her musicians. Her interactions with the audience are pure delight.

There is also some amazing bonus material on this DVD. There are extra videos, and also a documentary about Sinead's music and her love of Irish traditional music. Be sure not to miss it. Fans of Sinead will love this DVD and all the extras. Highest ratings.

Summary of Sinead O'Connor - Goodnight, Thank You, You've Been a Lovely Audience

She's an original, that Sinead O'Connor, even when taking on a repertoire as old and seemingly as intractable as her homeland's own rocky shore. The Irish singer draws liberally from her 2002 Sean-Nos Nua recording in this Dublin concert, holding her audience rapt while bringing a rich, full, almost New Age sound, strings and synth pads galore, to "Molly Malone" and other haunted "songs of the Irish soul"--as well as to "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Fire on Babylon," both of which benefit from the update. There are no frills here, just the music (about 70 minutes' worth). That's admirable, but O'Connor's voice--powerful but a wee bit strident--becomes wearisome after a while. Even so, an excellent band, superb sound, crystal-clear visuals, videos of six Sean-Nos Nua songs, and even a 30-minute documentary about the album make this a memorable document, whether or not she follows through on her retirement plans. --Sam Graham
