GUESS WHO: WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG
Wednesday, January 16, 2008

It’s Aaliyah! The singer/actress who died tragically in 2001 along with several of her friends and co-workers, would have turned 29 today (January 16th).
I found these candids that were taken back in July of 2001 of her in NYC and they were new to me, so I thought some of her fans would want to see them too. Visit Aaliyah.com for more info on how you can keep her memory alive.

She is a true beauty, and would have became a fashion icon of today. She was rocking black polish back in 01 and I believe we just started rocking it in 06.

Yup I guessed right! She was so pretty and she just seemed like a genuinely nice person. I never got a chance to me her but after she passed ppl had some many nice things to say about her and u could tell that they really meant what they where saying! What a loss. I wonder if the R&B scene 4 females would still b the same if she where still alive.

Aaliayh was truly an angel, so humble and never let all of the glitz and glam make her think she was more than/ better than anybody. I had the pleasure of knowing her and her family while she lived in Detroit and New York. She was truly an inspiration and a wonderful spirit. It is so sad, I can’t even watch “Romeo Must Die” or “Queen of the Dammed” with out getting teary-eyed. She was a beautiful baby …. It will never be another Aaliyah, many may try but they will never equal up, she just had this natural sex appeal and grace that so many artists today try to force…. R.I.P

Thanks CLoop! I kinda feel bad since this was the first time I forgot her BDay. I played the Aaliyah album for almost 5 yrs straight and after she passed cause nothing else in dance oriented R&B was as innovative or attention getting besides “you know who”. True example of the phrase that sometimes the best finish last in terms to her music. Kudo’s to the producers who worked with her too!

Man, I was listening to her self-titled album this morning. Just think how much bigger of a star she would have been by now Each year I think, would she have been married with kids yet?, would she have an Oscar by now? Would she have finally won that Grammy that she so deserved? So many questions that will remain unanswered.
