"I really can't stand Kylie's music at all. I know Australian fans might want to shoot me for saying this, but that would be a far better option than to listen to one of her albums. She was on Irish television recently. I couldn't bear it and had to turn it off.”

Fucking rock on! So she has an opinion and it happens to be true! Personally, I have much respect for this woman. She knows good music!

Sinead is right, Kylie's "music" is fluffy crap.
kkkkkk says – reply to this

203

She is sooo right (hasbeen or not!)… in my opinion Kylie sounds like a soundtrack for a cheap *peep* film!

Sinead rocks! Kylie sucks!

Calling Sinead a has-been means basically (to Perez, evidentally) that if you're not a current mainstream success that you're washed up. The evidence is in the catalog…Sinead O'Connor is immensely talented, a musical genius. Just because you don't hear it on the radio doesn't mean it's not there. Kylie can't compare to Sinead.

Right or wrong..Sinead is just so adept at saying just the right things to bring ppl together and build bridges. She inspires professionalism in the industry and the spirit fraternity among entertainers. Everytime she opens her mouth i wait with baited breath to hear what wondrous, articulate, verbal fountain of joy will spill forth from that bitter, viscious, hole called her mouth.*smile*

I love you, Perez, but leave Sinead the eff alone! Have some respect for a genuine talent and a poetic soul! Shame shame shame on you and all other Sinead-haters!

I have to say that I actually agree with Sinead O'Connor. I never really understood Perez's fascination with Kylie Minogue, as she's not that much of a singer or performer, and her songs are a little too "tweeny", especially for her age.

Sinead rocks…She's by no means a has been. Check out all the critical acclaim she's had with her last few albums. I doubt Kylie can say the same.

What has she ever done for the world? One Prince song, maybe if it was hers I would raise my hat… What a looser, get a job…
James Lenaghan says – reply to this

213

I actually disagree with her here. I like Kylie and I think she is far better than half the American singers right now. Sinead should get a beat down for this!
Reality Check! says – reply to this

214

I don't think she has the right to say anything because she's not famous anymore. She is past her prime. Her 15 minutes of fame are over. Kylie, you rock!
andrea says – reply to this

215

I LOVE IT! A GENERAL CONSENSUS AGAINST YOUR PRECIOUS KYLIE! kYLIE IS THE HASBEEN AND I HOPE SINEAD HAS A COMEBACK, BUT IF SHE DOESN'T SHE WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER!

Skinhead O'Conner is SO jealous because Kylie is the Madonna of Europe! What a has-been! HACK! KYLIE ROCKS!
Lola says – reply to this

Has been my ass, just because you're so far up Kylie's ass that you can't tell your head from your toes doesn't mean that you can just put people like Sinead down, she has a lot of talent, far more than you, in fact, all you do is gossip and it's really pretty sad. You do nothing productive with your life. Grow the hell up. You make it seem like your opinion rules all, get the fuck over yourself. You're not the greatest person on this planet for fuck's sake.

Kylie's music to me is a guilty pleasure - you enjoy it…but you'd never buy an album. I haven't heard Sinead's music for years, and just youtubed her out of curiosity. It sent shivers down my spine - it's incredibly deep and fiery and intelligent. Kylie is so shit in comparison. Perez, your music taste sucks lemons.
Andrea - SPEAK EASY! says – reply to this

Isn't this the chick who made fun of the pope on SNL? What a betch!! Grow your hair out, lady …

I agree. I tried to listen it based on your reviews, and it's sooo booorrrinnnggg! She's nice to look at though.

223

Sinead has consistently put out quality music as well as explored different genre's. Kylie….just shakes her candy ass, and contributes nothing.
Sinead RUUULES says – reply to this

224

Sinead knows our pain. Kylie is a shmoe.
Ori says – reply to this

225

the people here who have said Sinead is right is just pathetic. Of course, she's right, because she was talking about herself and her own reactions to someone's music! Her quote is nothing more than attention seeking. She can probably say it about hundreds of performers, as we all can. Big deal!

At least I can stay awake during Kylie's music…
she's_right says – reply to this

226

Sinead O Connor is right. Kylie makes horrible music. I'm going to see Sinead live in March, can't wait, she is so far from a hasbeen.

Sinead O'Conner is SO RIGHT!!!! SHE FUCKING ROCKS!!!

KYLIE MINOGUE EATS HORSE SHIT! SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC!!

231

YOU CAN'T COMPARE SINEAD TO KYLIE PEOPLE. I ACTUALLY ADORE THEM BOTH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.
SINEAD AND KYLIE ARE FRIENDS. THEY HAVE SUNG TOGETHER. SINEAD JUST SAID, "KYLIE'S MUSIC IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA."
WHEN DID HAVING AN OPINION CREATE SUCH AN UPROAR???
SINEAD IS ROCK/PROTEST SINGER….. KYLIE IS PURE POP…….
WHY ARE WE MAKING THIS AN ISSUE???? SLOW DAY FOR GOSSIP PEREZ? LAME!

XOXOX
Aussie Girl says – reply to this

232

Im Australian and I agree with her! I HATE Kylie music… It all sounds the same - annoying - The fact is… i think there are more British fans than Australian Fans… from my experience, shes really not that well liked down under!
Zeep says – reply to this

233

AT LAST. I am so glad Sinead has said this, as it is all too true.
Sinead is a real musician - not botoxed and brow-lifted into oblivion and producing shameful screeching teeny-bopper music.
KRKRKR says – reply to this

234

Kylie's career was OVER about 15 years ago.

Then a male journalist on the NME decided that he fancied her and made her cool again - 'sex kylie' was born.

She's been trading off that ever since and really she has been incredibly lucky. I wish she would let more of her personality come through and become a bit more mature with her music.
Sinead O'connor sucks says – reply to this

the way Sinead O'connor feels about kylies music is the same way the rest of the world feels about Sinead O'conner … jealouse has been

I TOTALLY agree with her! ROCK ON!
Maddy says – reply to this

237

I can't stand Kylie either. That dance techno crap sounds all the same and you would need to be on ecstacy to enjoy. The most popular music tends to be pretty shitty, that's what we get for letting teenagers set the trends.
elle says – reply to this

I'm Australian and I can't stank Kylie. Check out Delta Goodrem for some pure Australian talnet!

Well I agree with Sinead 200%!! I'm Australian and i can't stand Kylie, she has to be one of the most overrated people in Australia!
candy smith says – reply to this

245

Perez, you say different opinions are valid (janet and Madonna), Sinead CAN sing , How would Kylie go at singing 'Nothing compares to you', Sinead is more credible and intelligent. Kylie relies on botox and has no dignity. Both have had their day. I am Australian and Kylie is embarrasing.

Re: Sinead is disgusting –
oh my god. I have never heard such a horrible homophobic rant in my life. you are a small minded, ignorant person who clearly knows nothing about the music industry past the manufactured crap mtv feeds you. Open your fucking eyes.
leo says – reply to this

she is talking about kylie just to get publicity
nobody cares about this hasbeen sinead anymore, what was her lastest hit? she is nothing

she is bitter, always bitter, and crazy (in a bad way)
Mikaela says – reply to this

hahahahhaha to anyone who thinks sinead is right: UR ALL WRONG….Perez is right. the term HASBEEN has been used in his report on this and hes right coz we all know he LOVES kylie. shes a true blue aussie trooper! gotta love her:)

SiNEAD IS NOTHING BUT A ONE HIT WONDER……….
MS. MINOGUE IS SUCH A REAL TRUE ARTIST AND HER 20 YEAR CAREER BACKS HER UP ON THAT. HOW MANY ARTIST CAN GO THROUGH WHAT KYLIE WENT THROUGH, CANCER AND ALL. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT DUMB BRODE. MS. KYLIE MINOGUE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TRUE ARTIST……..

typical old muff licking cunt.. fuck off and die. somebody shoulda switched your machine of years ago then we wouldnt have to hear the benial rantings of some washed up has been. Go walk yourself - dog.
Aussie Kris says – reply to this

252

It's all true. She can't sing for shit and a bullet in the head is far more humane than being made to sit through "kylie live".
AlxLuvsKyles!!! says – reply to this

253

That's okay sinead, Australian's don't like you either. Heard your last album — or sorry, was it the Cranberries? Actually, can't remember. Musn't have been that memorable.
Here's an idea, why don't you try being number 1 in the industry for over 30 years and then give your opinion — because Kylie's been doing this since 1988 (with a career going back a long way before that) and she's ALWAYS hit the right note WITHOUT being a bitch about other artists.
Quit the sour grapes and get over it.

sinead you have just done your self such an injustice. True stars never pay out other performers!! Your just a jealous one hit wonder looking for attention!! You would never hear kylie doing that to fellow artists, she has way to much integrity for that!! Pity you couldn't have had the same, then you could of still had a fan in me!!

Sinead is right! She is a true 'artist', singer. I wouldn't buy a Kylie album, wouldn't even listen to her songs anywhere… they suck! Always has, always will.
RoxyPop says – reply to this

273

GO SINEAD!!!!

The Irish Lady may not be as commercially successful as Kylie, but she has more talent in her crew cut than Minogue will ever have.

Sinead is actually brilliant and unique..still is..and always speaks her mind no matter what anybody thinks.

Has been? Plenty of stupid shallow people seem to think so.

Sinead you're a Goddess!! I myself cannot and could NEVER understand why Kylie fucken Minogue is rich and famous… she emulates everything Madonna has done, has fucking rabbit teeth, I wouldn't fuck her in a fit, and she's lame lame lame… I wanna scream every time I see her… She doesn't have a sexy bone in her body, but I'd fuck her sister though…

Don't be mean says – reply to this

Blowing out someone else's candle won't make yours shine brighter! Every artist expresses themselves individually, and fellow artists should not slate them just because their style is different. Sinead's comment was downright mean and negative. Bad karma to you!
