What I always loved most about Sinead was that she just kept on being herself - whatever that meant at the time. Not letting others dictate what she should wear, say or sing, you know? When she was an angry, vulnerable young girl with a lot of issues to struggle through, that's who we saw on stage. And when she later became a calm, peaceful, introspective woman on a spiritual journey, she wasn't ashamed of that either. Not every artist has that kind of courage, to stay true to themselves despite other people's expectations (though I can easily think of another example, which I'm sure you recognize ;).
