14. Sinead O'Connor Rips Up Pope Photo

As quickly as she'd been blasted into fame, O'Connor almost completely vanished from the mainstream, thanks to a highly controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live. After a bizarre performance of 'War,' O'Connor produced a picture of Pope John Paul II, tore it up, and exclaimed "fight the real enemy." Following this, she was booed off stage from various venues, lost almost all the music chart presence she once had, and soon faded into obscurity.
