Hey, at least she didn’t have to live long enough to fall completely off like Mya, Brandy, Monica, Janet and all the other “pop/urban” singers. She went out on top! A winner!

It is always sad to see a young person go down before there prime….but lets keep it real! At HER BEST was an OK artist. She was an OK singer, an OK dancer, and an “alright” actor and she lacked “STAR” personality. Sometimes in death we can over-value a persons overall impact on the game. I sure she was a nice person, but where would she rank against the Janet Jackson’s Beyonce’s and Madonna’s of the world. Timbaland and Missy are almost totally responsible for her musical success(minus R. Kelly). In the matter of fact Missy and Timbaland hardly missed a step without her around. Look at Genuwine without those two behind him!

I agree with Chun

You will always be missed. RIP…It was just as if yesterday that you were just singing to us and 7 years later you still are! Again… RIP Always Baby Girl…..

R.I.P to an angel who was on her way. Hollywood was buzzing at this new young talent, contrary to what Chun and Anom think about her lack of “starpower”. She was intelligent and much more of an example than your girl Ms. Spears or LIFE’s favorite boozer, Ms. Winehouse.
But why belittle her memory? Heaven needed it’s Angel and who are we to question that? You are missed, Babygirl.

Chun shut up
August 26th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I agree with Anti-believer… I appreciate theLife.com for posting her. She is truly missed I constanlty think of her. That was my boo!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:36 am
STFU Chun. You sound like a fat, ugly jealous Hoe.

Ignorance is very becoming for some people. In my personal opinion Aaliyah was definitely a force to be wreckoned with. She was on her way to very lucrative career as an artist, did we forget that she ventured out into the movie scene? No r & b crooner was doing so at this time so give credit where credit is due. Yes & shout outs to Brandy for the whole Moesha sitcom thing. I applaud artists who realize that they have to think outside the box in order to have longevity. I understand that music maybe your 1st love but as an artist your creativity must not be limited to just the radio. I give much respect to Aaliyah b/c I respect when a woman doesn’t have to be half naked & booty shaking/ gyrating in order to get recognition. And so what if Timbo & Missy were responsible for her career. It’s when someone has a vision in u & when a person believes in you that comes about. Someone is always responsible for somebody else’s success even behind the scenes, please do not ever think that people get to the next plateau by themselves. Whether it’s a professor, janitor, cousin or kindergarden teacher, there is always someone that gives you the will/ strength to succeed aside from the Lord above.

OH & B4 I forget, as far as the cheap dress remark, when your that beautiful both inside & out your true beauty shines thru whether your wearing a trash bag or paper bag
August 26th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I remember this day like it was yesterday. She is an angel and her music is truly missed.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Is that really you Missy…?
August 26th, 2008 at 9:27 am

August 26th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
What can u Really think of someone who still hates on ppl who arent alive anymore?!! not sure tho…smh..anyhow she was one in a million and lookin at this picture made me miss her even more…she was so full of life
August 26th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Still sad to this day she was so damn beautiful and kept her image squeaky clean to be an example for the young girls of today. Unfortunately she passed and now these little tramps look up to lil kim, remy ma, nikki minaj, and other no good whorebags. Why do the good ones always leave us early?
August 27th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
@CHUN…… Who the fuck.. r u a wannabe ‘critic’. No one care about your opinion.Let’s see… r your kind is so screwed..
48POWERS!!!

omg! it’s unbelieveable how people can still hate on someon even after they’re deceased. It’s shameful and disrespectful to do it to someone who’s well and living,i can’t even think of the word for when you still do it to someone who’s no longer around to defend themselves.
As far as Aaliyah goes,it’s sad that she had to go so soon. I think that her absence gave way to a lot of “artist” who are out today. Whoever said she was an ok singer,is obviously one of those people who only listens to what’s playing on the radio. I guess you think soldia boy is an amazing artist,he had that one hit for quite a while. Aaliyah was way ahead of her time as a singer and dancer. If she were still around,ciara would definitely not have a career today. She was versatile with her music,she was edgy but sweet and sexy whenever she wanted to be. She made it possible for Alicia Keys and Beyonce to go to a movie audition. She wasn’t afraid to venture into the acting world and as a starting actress had roles in major movies.
Also, miss Beyonce also owes her career to ALL the members of Destiny’s Child. No one becomes a star on their own,it takes a lot more than just one person to make it happen.
Before you open your mouth to put someone down, really take a closer look at everything they’ve achieved. She had a lot more songs than just One in a million just like ciara had a lot more flops than she had #1 hits.
RIP Aaliyah
