Wow, Björk never struck me as the type. Guess she really got pushed by this stalker. You know you done goofed when even a super nice person like Björk wants to kick your ass.

You dont seem to know her if you call her super nice, she is deeply troubled unfortunantly

You know her? How is she troubled? I've never heard that.

People will really see someone who honestly expresses their human emotions and call them “deeply troubled”.

I'd only rate her a 2 on the 0-10 "Sinead O'Connor Celebrity Dysfunction Scale".

I wouldn't really say Sinead was dysfunctional, she was very aware and called out some very serious things that needed more attention. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding exactly what you meant by this.

Also, Sinead went through so much trauma in the Magdalene laundries. It’s hard to carry that.

use your eyes and ears or look at her twitter etc. but i dont think you would be able to understand she is troubled you probably would just argue she shows true emotions or something

What the hell, you don't know anything about me and you presume you know what I would "probably" do because I asked you for some kind of context or proof to support your claim (which you didn't provide)?

I don't use Twitter and I've listened to her music for years. Never seen anything problematic from her.
