I'll never forget the first performance I saw -- it was on Saturday Night Live (not the Pope picture performance). I was left breathless. 2U forever, Sinéad. Controversial, but undeniable talent.
By the way, the redhead is Jinx. She's a singer in one of my stories. She has had a rather tumultuous and sad career herself. It's an old picture, but I thought she looked sad and thoughtful in this picture -- yes, an old shot, but fitting I thought.
I remember when I heard "Troy" as a child, I didn't understand the lyrics then, but the voice and emotions made a huge impression on me. It's still one of my favourite songs...
She never wanted to be a "popstar" in the sence we see them today. Never wanted to be in a category, just create and perform and live her life. She did a lot of good to normalize mental health problems by just speaking openly about it, wich I think is great of her. It "depopstarred" her ,but the gain was greater I think. Her voice was fragile, wich I liked , the genre in general less so. It's a sad loss however you look at it
So typical those comments from Morrissey. So many people demand conformity. Even her most well known out burst -- tearing apart a picture of the Pope -- was on target given what the Pope was ignoring at the time. I don't know much (anything) about what goes on inside the music business, but kicking a troubled person when she is suffering is disgusting and deplorable.
