I Am Not Your Girl!
我比较特别，是从这张翻唱专辑开始喜欢听Sinéad的。
九零初时欧美乐坛正刮起一阵强劲的翻唱风，很多歌手都在这时推出了翻唱专辑，由于上一张专辑"I Don't Want What I Haven't Got"的巨大成功，Sinéad也推出了这张"Am I Not Your Girl?"
可惜这张蝶销量惨淡，评论界对其也是毁誉参半，认为许多歌都被她唱糟蹋了，不过其中还有一首经典"Don't Cry For Me,Argentina",这首歌Sinead使用了她极具个性的清唱唱法，配以气势磅礴的弦乐管乐伴奏，给这首歌所蕴含的情绪创造了新的表现方式，让我每一次听都能从中体会到不同的东西，她的歌仿佛是一幅展现在眼前的画面。
发这张专辑后，Sinéad一连串惊世骇俗的行为就相继发生了，先是公开了宗教中神父们虐待小孩，后又在Saturday Night Live中撕毁了教皇保罗二世的照片，并在演出节束后，当着全美观众的面大吼"Fight the real enemy!"(即号召大家与美帝国主义作战）当即引起极大哗然。今天看来，究竟谁的眼睛是被蒙闭的，相信大家心中都有数。当然，这一切行为在专辑扉业写的话中已有预示：
what happens to a child that has been invaded
mentally physically emotionally spiritually sexually
sensually made to lie naked on the floor
beaten spat at kicked scalded starved degraded
raped humiliated punished for scraping the plate
or stealing a few peanuts made to beg for mercy
mocked? MURDER the death of self-esteem
self-confidence self-love self-respect identity
boundaries trust faith ability to love and be loved
ability to be a parent to one's self or to one's
children leading to fear of feeling of acting on
feeling of not feeling of anger of saying no of taking
what's"mine" fear of saying yes fear of people
fear of living fear of dying which creats pain and
emptiness ADDICTION drugs alcohol food sex
shopping religion gambling relationships cigarettes
valium coffee fame politics power money chaos
war EMERGENCY child abuse the evil of invasion
rape racism incest divorce abortion contraception poverty
homelessness starvation deprivation isolation
overpopulation unwanted children addiction chaos
and destruction I you He She We are that child the
world is that child EMERGENCY we have not been told the truth
the message is love what can save us?
only God which is Truth-only,The True God-ask him for help.
SNL事件发生两三周后，Sinéad出席了麦迪逊花园的"A Tribute To Bob Dylan Concert"，但反感她的美国观众在一片嘘声中让她下台，我有看这一段视频，当时Sinéad满脸微笑走到了台前，并示意伴奏可以开始了，但全场喧闹的噪声让她无法演唱，她让伴奏停下，愤怒的甩掉耳机，高傲的抬起头，对着话筒向台下的观众大声说了很长一段话（因为现场太吵，没有听清），然后头也不回的下了台...
Sinéad O'Conoor无论是音乐还是性格都有影响到我。
再回到这张专辑，"Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home"也是翻唱的较为成功的，开头一大段的清唱好像又把你拉回到上一张专辑中，但结尾连续声嘶力竭的Am I not your girl?又把你拉回残酷的现实中来；Bewitched Bothered And Bewildered特别适合秋天听，有Sinéad婉转的唱腔，精湛的钢琴伴奏，那么轻柔，那么深情，好多次我是听着这首歌安然入睡的。
至于Sinéad为什么要选这些歌来翻唱，她写到：These are the songs I grew up listening to.they are the songs that made me want to be a singer.that's "why?"
Sinéad版本的Gloomy Sunday并不完美，她的嗓音在这类歌中会显得很没力度，因此会排在后面，值得一提的是开篇曲Why don't you do right?貌似是梦露演唱过的（我是说好像），从编曲中你能听出那个年代独特的韵味。
Black Coffee建议不要多听，要不然会抑郁，感觉这个比Gloomy Sunday还猛。
这张专辑初听的朋友会感觉像在听音乐剧，不过听多就其义自现了。
总之还是很经典，很有Sinéad的个人特色，值地一听再听。
