Media reacts to Sinead O’Connor’s new middle-aged frumpy look - PHOTOS

The eyes (still) have it! No matter her figure, her heart is still in those gorgeous eyes!We love you Sinead!

Hey, I'm looking better than ever 20 years on, with my streaks of distinction & comfy grips, plus I don't mind moving over & leaving a bit of space for Sinéad.

And yes, she was absolutely right all along while she was being castigated.

There are too few honest & true celebrities in the world.

All those shallow reporters need to just shut up. Time ages everyone. Sinead is very talented and will be loved by fans regardless of the normal changes of aging.

She's a highly talented musician. You listen to her music not want she is wearing. So what to what she wears...obviously she is very comfortable in her own being and self and also comfortable in her apparel. She's not teetering on 5 inch heels or laden down with outrageous jewelry. Good for her!

That should have been...is not every woman's...etc!

Perhaps looking like some male fantasy barbie doll stereotype every woman's idea of fulfillment particulalry those who like Sinead who have some actual talent and do not therefore have to rely on their pneumatically enhanced T&A to earn their living...One of my other favourites is her version of the 'Foggy Dew' with the Chieftains..Paddy Maloney was completely blown away by her rendition which took so much out of her emotionally she fell to the ground after recording it!

Sinead's voice is a gift of God, whether in the form of music vocals or the words she has to say. She is a woman ahead of her time who obviously knows that her work both as a musician and outspoken critic of the Roman Catholic church only enriches her soul and hence her appearance as a middle aged woman shines.

Here's an idea...post some photos of her male comtemporoaries...let's see how their looks are holding up...Ali Campbell of UB40...was a bit of a babe magnet in his day what does he look like..bald...gained a few pounds...who's rubbishing him...Still got a great voice which is all peole are interested in...? Have a look at Last Day of my Acquaintance on You tube...Sinead at her most beautiful..she opens the son...'this is not for the men this is for the women'...need I say more...? Sinead you rock baby...!

A wasted talent, who would rather do her own thing, then make move. She was always true to herself to the point that her work suffered. She became a bore. I hope that she has learned some lesson along the way, and will become a great middle age actress, like Plowshare.

Gee Georgie thought you were banned from this site!!

Not only is she a great singer, but she has proven herself a prophet. And haven't prophets always had to endure the scorn of the masses? Remember what happened when a gang of young men mocked the prophet Elisha because he was bald? Rebelforce, Aliciarose, Raftree, Iowamike, and the ever-popular GeorgeD--> Hush up now, or the woodsy critters will be tracking you too!

Wow she was so beautiful, I loved her eyes. Now she isn't the same Sinead but we all change with time. Some for the better and others for the not so good.

I remember when I first saw Sinead O'Connor back in the 80's. I was mesmerized. She was strikingly beautiful with her shaved head and that exquisite face with those stunning big blue eyes. And that voice!!...the voice of an angel. She is one of my favourite female singers of all time..if not my favourite. Let's cut her some slack. Not everyone in this world ages gracefully. But I do think that if she *chooses* to lose weight and start exercising whe would look amazing. But she'll always be beautiful in my eyes...that mesmerizing voice is something to be treasured.

how fitting for all of these people to commentate on her life and everyone elses but their own! where i come from it's the people who are always speculating about others that are the most screwed up!! leave this woman alone... she's not bothering anyone! she looks just fine! shes doing her own thing which is what everyone else should be doing eh?

20 years have passed. You're all looking frumpier.
