Sinéad O’Connor rocks the clerical dog collar and leather trousers look on the video for her new single, ‘8 Good Reasons’ - eight being the number of eyes that her four children have.
Shot on the upper deck of a Dublin Bus, it’s a heartwarming affair.
Meanwhile, Sinéad has penned another Miley-related missive for her website in response to a photo of the American posing some might say provocatively with a wad of cash in her mouth.
“Urgent! Does Anyone Know The Whereabouts Of This Girl’s Parents?” screams the header before she proffers: “Because they appear to be missing in action. In short, no human being on earth would be photographing, filming or watching my child-like looking daughter dressed as a stripper with a load of cash stuck in her mouth.
“Hello? Is anyone seriously calling this female empowerment? It is the exact opposite. Along with making a mockery of feminism, the music industry is consciously engaging in the sexualising of minors via the sexualising of artists who look like minors and whose audience are minors.
“If you imagine I’m talking bollox remember no one believed priests were sexualising minors either.
I have a history of being right about these things… I am not suggesting Miley is consciously engaging in the sexualisation of minors. Of course not. But I am stating she unconsciously is. And that the industry knows full well what it is doing.”
