I agree. But I wouldn't say it's bitterness any more. Wisdom and hindsight, possibly.

She comes across as incredibly bitter. Look at her use of language and the way in which she rants!

Well that's all alright then, let her carry on mocking people with serious mental troubles, as long as Miley is getting success out of it.

I'm sorry but, you and anyone else who is actually getting some kind of pleasure out of this whole thing, well, I've lost some respect. Mental illness is nothing to be made lightly

of or used as a tool for mockery.

Erm excuse me? My post was in regards to the FIRST open letter to Miley. Everything else came after (well, I haven't seen anything until this point!) so PLEASE don't say I get "pleasure out of" someone mocking someone else for their mental health issue, when it's far from the truth.

 

Cheers Grant. :\

If Sinead honestly cared the letter would have been private, it all reeks of a publicity stunt on her behalf and I don't blame Miley for arguing back. Plenty of people have mental illness but dont post crazy tweets asking where to get pills all over Twitter.

So it is somehow excusable to mock mentally ill tweets is it? Wow.

That's erm... probably part of the illness itself. She probably wasn't even aware (or now isn't able to explain why she even tweeted those things) because she was in such a dark place, and because she wasn't in full control of what she was saying or doing.

Yawn......

 

I do agree with the fact that a lot of artists are relying on sex to sell records and get publicity but its just so boring

I don't know why Sinéad's tweets are even being discussed. They were made after a suicide attempt and to flaunt them around as if you're proving some kind of point is just beyond moronic. I'm not agreeing with everything Sinéad is saying (I'm more on Amanda Palmer's side - check out her letter, it's really good), but I'd be beyond livid if someone used that against me so I understand her anger in her subsequent letters.
I agree about Amanda Palmer's letter, a very good (and accurate) read.

I would be surprised if anyone was making serious attempts to get Sinead to take her clothes off to sell records anyway. Not of the women who were big at that time - Janet, Madonna, Paula - were getting naked, and all were more typically "sexy" than Sinead. The late '80s were more about wild and colourful outfits.

 

Sinead still sore over the attempts to get her to wear shell suits to sell singles. :(

 

I'd agree with Jake that her initial 'letter' seemed to be based upon her own experiences of what she saw (and possibly experienced) when she was a similar age and projecting them onto Miley when this is not necessarily the same circumstances at all. Miley's responses have been VILE however and are inexcusable, especially quoting the years old messages from Sinead as a cheap joke because she presumably cannot articulate a decent response (and if that's the case, far better to stay silent on the subject...)

After the first letter Sinead should have retreated and continued to communicate in private.
Sinead is being interviewed tonight on The Late Late Show. Not sure if it's available in the UK on RTEPlayer.

Sinead was well meaning but misguided in her letter, Miley was ignorant and underhand in her response and as always Amanda Palmer is eloquent, smart, funny and just plain right.

I watched it. It was kinda hilarious. She was like "Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh and all those people are murderers of music! Rock and roll is dying because it's not about the music anymore! One Direction are successful because little girls want to have sex with them!"

 

I can see where she would get these opinions, but I wouldn't bring it so far as to say that people murder music and all that. I'm a big music fan myself, but I'm not particularly bothered by all that stuff.

She was like "One Direction are successful because little girls want to have sex with them!"

Oh Sinead, I love you :wub:

Sinead continues doing herself no favours.

 

But why would and need to do herself favours? It's not as if she is relaunching a commercially successful career, it is not going to harm her at all so I don't see why she can't express what she honestly feels.

She's coming across as incredibly bitter. I'm not the biggest One Direction fan but it's ludicrous to suggest their only successful because " little girls want to have sex with them "(Poor Jahq) as they've produced some fantastic songs over the past 2 years.

I'd hardly say she's being bitter. She's had her heyday, she knows that her time is over as a successful music artist, and I don't think this is an attempt to try and resume her career at all or to try and snatch a quick headline with these letters. All she's doing is taking an outsider approach to this whole media scandal and is putting forward an opinion that is shared by many so that Miley can see - but not just from the next random person on the street; somebody who has actually been there, done that and knows how the industry works, in the hope that she'll at least take notice of that. Likewise with the comment about One Direction, it's not bitterness, she's just sharing the opinion that many hold and that she herself obviously hold.
