What does evryone think of sinead o'conners acusations against Prince? I was just looking at the gallery at housequake and came acrosse the article again.
It's pretty shocking and gives you a sick feeling in your stomach. Prince not only threatened to beat the shit out of her and even started laughing at her crying! I believe it's 100% true; she is still upset by it as well(recent concert shouting back at fan'fuck that midget'). | |

Yeah,I remember this story.Apparently,Sinead went to visit Prince at his home in late 1990 and the two of them got into a heated argument."He continually said that he was gonna beat the shit out of me",O'Connor said."He was laughing at the fact that I was crying,saying that my big mouth got me in trouble again".Prince even sent his limo driver away,leaving O'Connor with no way to get back to the airport."His problem is that I did a song of his ("Nothing Compares 2 U") without him being involved",she says."He's jealous.And he told me that he wishes I had never done his song.I think that,frankly,that song saved his fucking ass.He was in serious financial trouble until that song happened".
 this is a crazy story,but Prince denied it...
"That never happened.I have no idea what she's talking about"  could this have just been a silly publicity stunt? He thanks her in the liner notes to the 'Diamonds And Pearls' CD,and this was months after their huge argument/fight | |

"That never happened.I have no idea what she's talking about" I doubt it was fabricated. She still is bitter about it hence; concert rant! Prince should of apologised could this have just been a silly publicity stunt? He thanks her in the liner notes to the 'Diamonds And Pearls' CD,and this was months after their huge argument/fight | |

If he says it never happened, as far as I'm concerned it never happened! | |

Who knows. Both of these people are artistic geniuses in my book. But sadly they are both a few fries short of a happy meal.
I believe that they both believed their own version of the events to be true. How much of that is based in what we all accept as reality, I'll never know. ...more coffee before posting edit... [Edited 9/15/06 6:06am] | |

well,as we all know,Sinead is a crazy woman (no offense to those of you who like her),and remember back in these days,she was feuding with everybody.I think it was Frank Sinatra who said that "she deserves a good kick in the ass" after she tore up a picture of the Pope on national television.At one point,MC Hammer even offered to buy her a plane ticket to another country 
and if Prince really did treat her like this,why didn't she simply call the police? The whole story is outrageous and I don't know who to believe. | |

Can you imagine Prince threatening to beat the shit out of anybody? It's laughable. Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. | |

So Prince is short. I know plenty of short men that try to act like they're bad-asses. Anyway, I can almost believe both of them. Not that I actually know Prince, but somehow I can see him acting like a jerk as she described. But on the other hand, why would he be mad at her to begin with? Wouldn't she have had to get permission to record his song? | |

I think it was Prince´s ex-manager Steve Fargnoli who came up with the idea that she should cover that song. He was her manager after his falling off with Prince. Guess WB has the last word when it comes to coverversions. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious!

My daddy is short,5'6 and he used 2 b a bas assed mofo back in the day.Me and my brethren never knew till we were older and he used 2 tell us stories about his wild youth.Now he is older and wiser and still is the coolest motherfucker u will ever meet.As 4 the thread topic I doubt very much Miss O'Connor would b standing crying after Prince would say nething like that.I mean come on man..... u know u want 2...so do it

This story is NON-SENSE. | |

Why would P be upset that she recorded a song and made him even more money?
I'm sure Sinead has her own line of reasoning for things but you don't mess with The Pope and you don't want Frank Sinatra after you.  "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

Sinead is a bit loopy herself. If she was in my living room having a nervous breakdown, I would probabbly laugh at her too and egg her on. | |

I think the story was actually reversed. I think that crazy (then) skinhead threatend to beat P' ass if he didn't give her NC2U. He started crying and she laughed at him. Very sad day for the Nelson family. | |

Punk Move!
Of course, it's best not to believe any of these stories since no one here, was there. If it is true, why did she stand there crying? or why did she give him the satisfaction of laughing? Anyway, did she not see Purple Rain? He left Apollonia in that deserted underpass...she had to walk home. If you're meeting Prince, take your own car. In the very least, walk to the damn airport, but don't stand there crying. If there's anyone left crying like a woman, it should have been him. Not that I believe any of this happened. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

I'm surprised at anyone who will believe any accusations they read or hear someone say at face value. I've never understood that. Why do people just accept things as truthful so easily? | |

As far as I know, no. No, you don't need permission. Any song can be re-recorded as long as it's not changed and as long as the usage fee is paid to the owner. "If you wanted to buy a Sam Cooke album, where would you go?" | |
