I Love Aaliyah and I Miss Her….she was definitely one of a kind she inspired me to be the woman I am today. I grew up listening to her…. and her style and swagg was just unbelievable I can’t lie she definitely has influenced me in my appearance and in my personality. Her music was unlike anyone else’s I still listen to her songs I stay bumpin It’s Whatever, Erica Kane, I Don’t Wanna, Come Over….Aw man I can keep going. Yeah she’s a legend for sure no doubt about it. R.I.P. AALIYAH.

Beautiful!

I dont mind stanning for Aaliyah she was great…

i miss her and love her so much mann!
Rest in Perfect Peace…i wish she was still alive and well. I always got a positive vibe from her..nothing negative to say. She had beauty and grace, and so much talent. Genuine good person and humble too, and theres not many stars you could say that about.

I think I would most likely call her an ICON than a legend.

I think the Icon status is more suitable because her fashion sense was copied so much. Her sound and music were and still are imitated.

I do think her music would still be relevant today. I mean if we need a resolution was played on the radio today, I dont think much people would be able to tell it came out 7 years ago.

R.I.P Aaliyah, you were truly one of a kind

YEA MISS ALIYAH ALOT I LOVE HER MUSIC I’M SUCH A BIG FAN I HAVE ALL HER STUFF.

Why does everyone try to diss Beyonce every chance they get? This has nothing to do with her. I am so done with all the hate! Don’t you know know jealousy won’t get you anywhere in life?

She definiefly deserves it…She is an Icon a legend everything in my book. I miss her dearly and think about her offen, still bumpin “One In a Million and More then a woman. She’s a Big inspiration in my life.

Love You Li Li

SHARODNA STFU!!! who are you to judge what constitutes as an icon or a talented artist???!!!! Are you in the Musice Industry?? Do you produce or market Platinum selling artists??!!! Do you even posses a fucking talent??!!! Grow up, give the woman her props, and realize her potential as an artist yesterday and today. We will never know what kind o inpact AALIYAH would have had on the world, but we do know what kind of impact she left behind. Itmay not have been what you (and your vastly superior knowledge of the music industry) constitute as legendary or iconish but people who do have an affiliation with the industry seem to think so, so how can you even have the audacity t spite AALIYAH, her family, and them by claiming ther opposite. Please recognise real genuine talent and leave those “never will be’s” in your own lackluster world.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO AALIYAH AND HER FAMILY..

Love Aaliyah.. She’s missed by many…

R.I.P BabyGirl you will diffently and always be miss. Love You. She was a great and talented singer none of these singers today cant even feel half of her shoes. To me she is what you call a true icon and lengend here or not here on earth.

R.I.P. Aaliyah. You have been and are still truly missed!

F all of this bickering back and forth…does anyone know if this is on newsstands and if so, where can I get it?

Beautiful lady with a peaceful spirit

thats real true about her music…If you hear alot of it on radio today it sounds brand new…like it just dropped

I WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE A AALIYAH FAN!! SHE WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

Its about time! I am glad somebody is doing a tribute for her!

Ok, love Aaliyah but why this picture with her eyes closed. It’s an eerie picture, could’nt they have choosen a better picture to use, lets say with her eyes open. Just saying!!!

I miss the Aaliyah, Monica, Brandy lot. Hell, put Mya in there too. Because Liyah isn’t here with us, I hope Monica and Brandy can come back big, and Monica stay true to her roots (girl, you know you can sing, so stop that ATL crunk mess) and as far as Mya, you can still try again.

i BLAME cheap as tweetie bird DAMON DASH OR WHOEVER was manageing/stealing her $MONEY cause a STAR of Aaliyah’s MAGNITUDE should of had her OWN JETS TO FLY HER AND HER ENTOURAGE around in.
with her OWN pilot not some CRACKED OUT COKE HEAD assmunch that a JUDGE so PREDjudicly let FREE and KEEP HIS PILOTS LISCENCE.
YAW’LL know damn well who’d get damn near LIFE for that ishhhhhhhhhhhhh……..

FAN FOREVER D-MAN

Man i jus gotta say that dissin Aaliyah is not koo wit me at all especially wen u dont no all the facts. and just for the record the AALIYAH album was already certified gold and had already sold well over a MILLION copies worldwide before she died. and as far as record sales she mite not had sold the most but she sold enuff to make her mark just as she did with her first two albums and the romeo must die soundtrack which each of those sold many millions worldwide and in the U.S. alone. and with the whole monica, and brandy, and mya? (haha who is she) thing.. but na doe you also gotta remember that they were for the most part bubblegum artist (and the same goes for dc and beyonce) who were taking the route of because this is what “the industy” defines hot it will sell and thats how they ,maybe sold more than Aaliyah because she was a true rnb artist not going with the trends and copying but doing the kind of music she wanted to (creative & original) and most of all extremely different. oh and if you want to know the status of a true star who already had a $100 million dollar box office movie under her belt with massive other roles to come; Queen of the Damned, The Matrix 2 & 3, Honey, the remake of the old skoo urban classic Sparkle, Some Kind of Blue, plus other movies roles she had turned down before even starring in Romeo like Scary Movie, Charlie’s Angels, etc.). Thats 6 movies roles and im not even sure if those were all of them so cut out all the hatin man reel shit. But over all that she was just a beautiful (inside & out) positive, intelligent, person who just did her and did it well and thats definitely a icon in my book.

and i forgot to put extremely talented for all the haters. and as far as vocal ability easy….. At Your Best, Street Thing, The One I Gave My Heart To, Never Giving Up, Turn The Page, Journey To The Past, Never No More, I Care 4 U, I Refuse, and the unreleased song “Giving Up” (which can be seen on youtube) which proves A could blow when she wanted to.

R.I.P. to Aaliyah

Liyah… we miss you.

Live & Love.

All love goes out to Aaliyah’s family and close friends. Aaliyah was a great icon and definantely someone to look up to, I appreciated her dedication and her legacy lives on. R.I.P and much love Aaliyah

For those of you who don’t agree she deserves to be honored in this way, read the magazine article. They have a bunch of things people did not know about Aaliyah and how highly everyone that came into contact with her spoke of her. There were so many ways Aaliyah left her mark and they went unseen until she died. I hate that people always bring up the fact that she’s dead as a reason to praise her. No one is holding a gun to anyone’s head to make us “praise” Aaliyah. I know when you think of an ICON you think of someone who has been around for a while. But, what would we consider an ICON TODA? An Icon in CONTEMPORARY music and media? Aaliyah would definitely qualify as a more recent Icon and her accomplishments can not go unnoticed. The article states the struggles she went thru to get her music noticed and played on the radio stations. How many of you were aware that they refused to play “One In A Million” on the radios because the sound was “weird and not radio friendly”? Aaliyah didn’t care about all the success so why should you? It was HER career and she did it the way she wanted to in each and every way and she was happy with all that she had so you should be happy for her. If Aaliyah wanted to be on TV all the time and starin down our mouths she would have. Instead, she took a different approach to stardom. How many artists can you say were as influential as Aaliyah with only completeing 3 albums and taking massive breaks in between. Aaliyah didn’t drop album after album. She gave herself room to grow so she could come back and hit us in another direction. I don’t care what any of you say, Aaliyah deserves all this! Apparently this magazine thinks so too and they published this article so that’s all that matters. Give her props…she was a very talented and young minority and she made it far before her death. Alot of you mention her last album “failing” yet it made its debut at #2 on the charts and let’s say her album did fail and fade away after it’s debut…she would have been alive to recompensate for that lost and would have came back even better. I have no doubt that if she was around we would have seen even more and her talent was so tremendous she had to release it in small doses. The industry wasn’t ready for all she had planned…we now see how relevant her music is today because so many artists (whose names you bring up constantly) are working with Timbaland just to get that sound that she was all over YEARS AGO!

@justin

Cudnt have said it betta myself…..
her last album was definitely her best to me…..
even all the critics thought so…..
