1. Sinead O’Connor
As the 1990s dawned, O’Connor looked to be a fantastic rising star. Her hit “Nothing Compares 2 U” had won critics and topped the charts, she had several awards and a huge following. She was outspoken but still notable for her bald head and beautiful face as well as a wonderfully soulful voice and looked to have a long career of hits ahead of her. Then, in 1992, O’Connor was the musical guest for Saturday Night Live, her second number the anthem “War” which was nicely delivered. At the end of the song, with no warning, O’Connor held up a photo of Pope John Paul II, announced “Fight the real enemy!” and tore it in half. Had the Internet existed in 1992, it would have exploded as NBC was instantly flooded with angry phone calls and sponsors threatening to pull their ads. Needless to say, the Catholic Church was not pleased with this and the backlash on O’Connor was huge, more as she refused to apologize for it, citing the Catholic Church covering up the abuse of priests. While she would continue to work, her career never regained that same fame and respect and while she may be proud of her stance, it cost O’Connor a slew of goodwill that’s never come back.
