I think this is one of the best tribute videos i’ve seen.
Aaliyah achieved what so many people aspire to achieve, and she did that in her 22 years of life. Both men and women, boys and girls have been influenced in some way by her. RIP Aaliyah.

Music still is missing something since she has been gone !

I will always love, miss, remember, and respect you and your work of art.
I still believe the industry is off after you’ve left. You’ll always be in my top 5! lol

EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS SHE’S STILL RELEVANT. YOU CAN TURN ON THE RADIO AND HEAR TRY AGAIN, OR MORE THAN A WOMAN AND IT SOUNDS AS IF IT CAME OUT TODAY. SHE’S DEFINITELY ONE IN A MILLION. RIP AALIYAH!

Beautiful and talented she was. She will NEVER be forgotten.
August 25th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I swear, if she was still here today…BEYONCE will be irrelevant(or still wit destiny child), Rihanna would be a nobody, Ciara would not have a chance and neither would Ashanti. Only person would come close is A.Keys/Brandy (cuz when aaliyah died, so did REAL MUSIC)….Man she would have been BIG…man i was so sad to see her family at the funeral (especially her bro) prayer STILL go out to the haughton fam. RIP BABY GIRL…

Words from Aaliyah, “I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer, and a good person.” Well, Baby girl the world definitely remembers you in that way. R.I.P Liyah!

I cant even believe its been 7 years, i was 13 when she passed, i still feel the same emotion everytime i see a picture of aaliyah cause she was such a beautiful person inside and out. It feels like the music industry and world was robbed. She brought the talent and pressence that no other artist could ever bring. I still think everyday how different music would be if she was still around. It def isnt the same anymore. R.I.P. Baby Girl

number 5 is soo right. Still relevant! I play the Aaliyah album and it’s still flawless and never dated, almost 10 years later!
and she died the night before my 10th birthday and the morning of my birthday I got the news. Worst birthday I’ve ever had and each one that follows is a lil bittersweet. The day before I’m always in mourning.

I, along with with Rap-Up, remember reading about Aaliyah’s passing on the bottom of screen on MTV and i couldn’t believe it. She was such a great performer and was also one of the most humble artists of all time. It’s disappointing knowing that we won’t see how much bigger of a star she would have become but what she accomplished in her short life is quite remarkable. Her music will always be timeless to me. R.I.P. Aaliyah, you will always be in our hearts.
