AALIYAH IN NYC BACK IN ‘01

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.

Aww she was such a cutie! I miss her presence in this music game.

and #6, I guarantee you whether Aaliyah was here or not, Beyonce still woulda been the hottest in the game. She’s one of a kind. The thing about her is that no one can emulate her. But you have the Ciara’s and Tyra B’s that have Aaliyah’s style.

No singer today is prettier than she was. I always use to say that she reminds me so much of Sade. If they would have made a movie about Sade, she would have been perfect to play her. There was always something special about her. She didnt have to try hard either. We just loved everything she did automatically. I wonder what she would have been doing had she still been alive today, and if Jay Z would have been w/o rather than B. I hate she passed away.

Thank you CL

I deeply miss Aaliyah, she was my favorite artist. Her presense and charisma are unmatched. I’ve admired her from the very beginning. I still have her CD in my car and listen to it from time to time. I wen’t though some serious growing pains in life, and Aaliyah’s music has always been my soundtrack. I’ll always love Aaliyah.
RIP

i NEVER saw this girl look anything but beautiful. our society is usually so obsessed with women who look fake, wear TONS of makeup, wear ridiculous weaves, etc. but aaliyah was just natural. she seriously reminded me of an angel when she was alive and now she is an angel in heaven. she was my idol and i thank her for sharing her talents with us

R.I.P. and happy Bday

Wow, i miss her….the industry truly has not been the same since she left…..she’s the epitome of humble, not the fake humble, but real honest humbleness….there will never be another like her….and her beauty, i won’t even get started. Bottom line…she’ll be missed 100 years from now even….

OMG, I am sad right now…Baby Girl, Baby Girl…Truly One of a Million! I know this is a clique post but their are no other words. I swear I remember when I recieved the news and how I took it…Aaliyah was a classy beau, she didn’t have to do all this crazy stuff that today singers are doing, her talent spoke for herself. Nobody have or had a swagger like Baby Girl! DAMN, man I need to leave it at that before I get choked up!

@156 Funky. No Jay Z did not date her, Damon Dash was her boyfriend So I dont think that that would have been a factor in his relationship with Beyonce at all. But NONE THE LESS the post isnt about Beyonce Nor Jay Z. Lets Just respect what the post is about. Ms. Aaliyah’s Birthday

I remember the night Aaliyah died as well. I was a freshman in college. So very sad to hear. Aaliyah was really beginning to come into her own and it was so amazing to see. She really could have done alot in these seven years. Time really flies…She was very original and beautiful inside and out. Even though she has the copy cats (i.e., Ciara…) they will never be her. R.I.P Aaliyah, truly an angel and missed beyond belief.

@#156…Aaliyah actually dated Dame Dash…they were planning on getting married…So there would be no Rachel Roy…

Dame and Aaliyah…Jigga and Beyonce

I just loved, loved, loved her. It makes me so sad whenever I think about what she may have accomplished had she been alive. But I also know not to question His will, so with that I know she’s in a better place. Her voice, her beauty was definitely one of a kind, and she just stayed true to herself. She knew what worked for her. Aaliyah, you are gone, but definitely never forgotten…

Wow #206…our stories are very similar…it’s crazy! I also graduated from high school in 2001 and on that faithful morning I was in very high spirits. My birthday had just recently passed (on August 16th) and I was preparing to move to campus for my freshman year in college. The night before, around 3 am my brother came in my room while I was sleeping to tell me that Aaliyah passed away. I was still half asleep so I dismissed his comments and went back to sleep. I woke up at 8 am in a panic because I thought I dreamt the story of Aaliyah’s death . The first thing I did was go to his room and ask him if it was true. He said it was, but I still did not believe him. Soon after I ran downstairs to our computer and I went to mtv.com. Unfortunately, all of my fears were confirmed. Talk about pain…I cried so hard you would’ve thought someone close in my family passed. It was to the point where my parents had to console me. And they vaguely knew who she was at the time.
Sorry for the long commentary, but I say all that to reiterate that there will never be another artist in our generation that will evoke the such feelings with their fans as Aaliyah has done. She was warm, graceful, and beautiful. We all felt connected to her and that is rare for anyone. Aaliyah we miss you and we love you xoxo. May your soul rest in peace!
