Movie Reviews of Sinead O'Connor - Goodnight, Thank You, You've Been a Lovely Audience
Movie Review: A Fitting "Full-Circle" Production
Summary: 5 Stars
The mercurial O'Connor has had one of the most unusual careers in the history of pop/rock music. At 17 she had written and produced her debut album with the kind of brilliance that puts today's teen "faux" talents to shame. She became an alternative rock superstar on the basis of that first million-selling album and its alternative hit singles "Mandinka" and "Troy," even though the "mainstream" would not discover her until her cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" become a worldwide monster hit and made her a "name" in every household -- not just the alternative ones. Gifted with a stunning, multi-octave, archangelic voice and a writing style that fused the celtic with the confessional, the punk-thrash with the pop, the introspective with the inspirational, Sinead utterly changed the way women were perceived in "postmodern" rock. Very wrongly perceived by the masses as a "one-hit wonder," O'Connor proved in 1990 that, even though 'Nothing Compares' had made her a pop queen, she was still just as much an alternative artist with considerable power -- her self-penned "Emperor's New Clothes" hit No.1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart and remained the No.1 alt-hit for the entire year. After this year of dualities and a nod as Rolling Stone's "Artist of the Year," fame (and her own near-prophetic stubborn-streak) took its toll. Once America's elfin darling, she became a pariah when she shredded a photo of the Pope on Live TV in 1992 to protest the institutional cover-ups of child molestation by the Church. Suddenly, the superstar "Bambi in Bovver Boots" became the bald freakazoid witch from the seventh pit of hell, at least in American eyes, and the amazing O'Connor music was never to be given first place again. A booing scene at a Bob Dylan tribute event (of all places) sent her into a decade-long spiral of self-searching, sporadic solo recordings, countless excellent collaborations with other artists, and various minor controversies. But the music never quite stopped. Much of it has found its way onto this seminal DVD recording. O'Connor's most recent album, Sean-nos Nua, brought her back to the original fusion of celtic and modern sounds that always found its way onto her records; this live concert -- her last -- showcases that music before an enthusiastic crowd at the Vicar in Dublin. O'Connor has lost none of her gifts, and even though she is a more subdued performer than in her superstar heyday, she is a better singer, if that is possible. Best of all, she incorporates several tracks from 94's 'Universal Mother' and the best live version of 'Nothing Compares' she's probably ever done. A documentary on the making of her last, brilliant album, rounds out what should be a must-have DVD for rock music collectors, and, certainly, Sinead fans. On the heels of the church scandals that seem to have more than vindicated O'Connor's bold protest in 1992 -- a protest that wrecked her mainstream career and dimmed her superstar status, the sight of her singing so gorgeously and retiring from music with such empowerment is astonishing. Though controversy destroyed her role as superstar, the musical legacy easily has made her a legend. This DVD is a brilliant testament to that legend. Moreover, it is with great inrigue that we learn she will send her career off with a companion piece -- a brand new double-disc album called "She Who Dwells..." coming in September. Still full of surprises.
