Sinead O'Connor Behind the Music : Season 5 Episode 9

Sinead O'Connor, had a musical career by releasing hits "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover), from her second album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" which hit #1 on the Billboard charts. While promoting her third album "Am I Not Your Girl?", she appeared on Saturday Night Live and, while performing one of the songs, O'Connor ripped a picture of John Pope II. That incident sent shockwaves across the country and, nearly 5,000 phone calls flooded NBC and, the network wasn't fined. To this day, NBC refused to air the scene. At the Bob Dylan Tribute concert, she was greeted with cheers and boos. While she was performing, the audience was getting louder and louder and, after she finished country performer Kris Kristofferson escorted a sobbing O'Connor off the stage. That performance, was two weeks after the photo tearing incident. A clip was shown when her albums, cassettes, CD's and, singles were being steamrolled.
