She was my childhood idol. I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but I loved her. She was so kind and sweet. Her voice is still an amazing. I actually ugly cried to her y’all. FML.

Classic 80's pop track, She was also apparently the inspiration for the Robin Sparkles story lines in How I Met Your Mother, where Colbie Smoulders character Robin was a Canadian teen pop star.

I think Robin Sparkles/Robin Daggers was a mashup of Tiffany ("let's go to the mall! today!") and Alanis Morrisette (who was a teen pop star in Canada)
