-Removed-Nothing compares 2 U was a big hit. She was a songwriter, composer, musician. She had a difficult childhood, troubled life, mental problems, her son Shane committed suicide, 17 years old. Her tearing up a photo of the pope was done in protest of sexual abuse of children carried out in the Catholic church.

-Removed-She had bipolar disorder. Not sure that it was ever diagnosed properly. Her four marriages probably attested to that. She was also diagnosed with complex PTSD and BPD. Another complex woman who was absolutely let down by not only mental health professionals but also the Catholic Church.
After acheiving superstar status after her critically acclaimed second album, she eschewed that status by saying, "I'm just a protest singer." I don't think her fame meant very much to her.
