KYLIE MINOGUE - O'CONNOR ATTACKS 'UNLISTENABLE' MINOGUE

O'CONNOR ATTACKS 'UNLISTENABLE' MINOGUE

Outspoken singer SINEAD O'CONNOR has launched a scathing attack on KYLIE MINOGUE, insisting she can't "bear" to listen to the antipodean's music. The controversial Irish star - who once tore up a photo of the late Pope John Paul II on stage - was so aurally offended by a recent live Minogue broadcast, she had to switch off her TV. She says, "I really can't stand Kylie's music at all. I know Australian fans might want to shoot me for saying this, but that would be a far better option than to listen to one of her albums. "She was on Irish television recently. I couldn't bear it and had to turn it off." O'Connor isn't the only musician to voice disapproval of the Australian singer - last week (ends22Feb08) former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown blasted the Brit Awards board for handing Minogue the Best International Female prize.
