REMEMBERING AALIYAH….
8 years ago today (August 25th), Aaliyah Dana Haughton, Anthony Dodd, Eric Foreman, Scott Gallin, Keeth Wallace, Gina Smith, Douglas Kratz, Christopher Maldonado, and Luis Morales died tragically in a plane crash that shocked everyone. At the time of the tragic accident, Aaliyah was just 22 years-old.
So today, we decided to post up the ‘Miss You’ video for all the fans. We also posted her MTV Diary for those who haven’t seen it. Rest in Peace.

Falcons' Aaliyah Jones is becoming CHSAA standout
The hard work and early mornings are just starting to pay dividends for Aaliyah Jones. The sophomore guard at Bishop Ford has many memories of 6 a.m. wake-ups โ extra early, she said, because she takes a long time to get ready โ in Charlotte, N.C ...

I love me some Aaliyah music! I cant believe its been 8 years since she passed, I still remember where I was and how I found out about her death. Im 19 so with her dying at 22 it just made me remember that you have to live each day to the fullest, try to reach your highest potential, and be a blessing in someones life.
But Aaliyah made timeless music that i know will always live on!
Great post CL! Aaliyah was definately one of my favorite entertainers growing up in the 90′s! She will always be remembered in my heart.
*******It would be nice if this post could remain positive, in memory & respect of Aaliyah. Take the negative energy somewhere else. Just saying that before it begins, because ya’ll know how this comment section can get.*********
im glad you did a post on this angel .
aaliyah is one of my favorite artists
and her death, along with the deathes of her crew (Anthony Dodd, Eric Foreman, Scott Gallin, Keeth Wallace, Gina Smith, Douglas Kratz, Christopher Maldonado, and Luis Morales) was tragic and unforgettable. <3
continue to RIP.
She was such a beautiful girl. RIP Aaliyah.
I remember that day. It was a Saturday, I was just about to fall asleep on the couch in my living room and had MTV on, and all of a sudden I saw the words flashing across the screen. I couldn’t believe it. “Back & Forth” was the jam.
At Your Best You Are Loved, and you were always at your best. Won’t ever get over losing you, just learning to live with it. Such a classy, talented you woman. God Bless You.
Rest In Peace Baby Girl!!!
<3 always in my heart
AALIYAH DEFINITELY HAD ALL OF THE CHARM THAT FEMALE R&B ARTISTS TRY SOO HARD TO EXUDE NOW…HERS WAS JUST NATURAL. THE STREET BUT SWEET WAS JUST WHO SHE WAS, WITHOUT ANY GIMMICKS…IT’S SUCH A SHAME THAT SHE LOST HER LIFE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. REST IN PEACE BABYGIRL. I MISS YOU *&. YOUR MUSIC…IT’S STILL AN INSPIRATION TO ME.
I REMEMBER THIS TRAGIC DAY LIKE YESTERDAY. THATS WHEN JAY Z BLUPRINT, MARY FAMILY AFFAIR, FAITH FAITHFULLY, ALICIA KEYS SONGS IN A MINOR, OLIVIA BIZOUNCE, ETC ALL CAME OUT. I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW BEAUTIFUL AALIYAH WAS IN ROCK DA BOAT. HER LAST CD WAS A CLASSIC AND MY FAVORITE TRACK IS ” ITS WHATEVER “. RIP ANGEL!
I must admit I truly was not a fan of aaliyah but when she died it brought tears to my eyes and that scared me. Belive me I was NOt a hater but I believe she had such a beautiful soul rest in peace Baby Girl.
R.I.P AALIYAH!!!! 8 YEARS FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!
She died 8 years ago… Get over it. I don’t see anybody sobbing for the other artists that have died…
Rest in Peace Baby Girl!
No one can do it like you did!
It really does feel like yesterday…
R.I.P.
Aaliyah..love you always baby girl

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 8 years so soon.
Aaliyah was an amazing talent and beautiful person. I wish we were fortunate to hold on to such a gift a LOT longer. She left an indelible mark on R&B and my childhood. Gone, never forgotten. NEVER REPLACED. We love you!
Rest.In.Peace.
To be honest, it’s been 8 years. Aaliyah wouldn’t want us sobbing every year…JUST SAYING! It’s all about E.R. Check out my twitter: twitter.com/WayneDaStar

WE LOVE YOU AALIYAH! YOU WILL FOREVER SHINE IN OUR HEARTS YOU WERE TRULY ONE IN A MILLON BABY GIRL. WE MISS YOU R.I.P
I can just imagine what her music would sound like now. We so desperatley need good music. She would put other artist to shame. I’m not even trying to be funny, but this is Jay- real boo.
Thanks so much for the post C.L.
AALIYAH you still in my playlist,thoughts and hairstyle choices ! HA!
Love you baby girl !
Sometimes I forget she was only 22 at the time… She seemed so mature.
Artists nowadays are doing WAAAY to much in their early 20s
I listen to Aaliyah every day. “We need a resoulution” “More than your woman” what!Rip
So Sad! Aaliyah was a true gift to the music world. I gotta listen to my Aaliyah albums today in her honor.
You ALWAYS have and will continue to be my favorite R&B singer/performing artist… God bless you as you R.I.P.
SAD WHEN THE DEAD GETS MORE RESPECT THEN THE LIVING SHE IS TRULY MISSED ON MY BEHALF ,I WAS A FAN AND ADMIRE HER WHILE SHE WAS LIVING SADDEN BY HER PASSING
RIP Aaliyah, this was my girl! Representing for those tomboy chicks and skinny girls back in the day, She was so blessed and was kind enough to bless us with her music. I could only imagine how HUGE she would be right now and how hype her music would be. I guess God was missing an Angel that day and decided to take one back, RIP Liyah. Love you <3
It’s incredible that she’s been gone that long. I remember the night that; my older brother, older sister and I were watching mtv and they had the breaking news under the program. I remarked that I was scared, and my sis said I wasn’t scared, just surprised, but I think that I was scared of life taking anyone at any moment. Life is priceless, and you have to celebrate it everyday. I sitll have her One in a Million CD. And I’ll be wearing my Aaliyah shirt tomorrow.
Hopefully she somewhere resting in peace. My childhood she was all i listened too. still do. not just on this day b/c she passed away. was just listening to ”More Than A Women The Other Day”. But i love ”Try Agai” forever and always. Go for your dreams, chase them. It’s not always about the money. B/c others artits are doing what they like. People always have to mention theirs bank account are bigger. Just believe in yourself. Life’s to short. Have faith. Respect people.
R.I.P Aaliyah chick xx
Aw, the original Babygirl. I miss Aaliyah so much.
She was one of the rare, gorgeous, popular, sexy female stars that everybody adored and never even wanted to hate on. I miss her music, style, dancing and videos like crazy.
She was an individual and at the top of her game when she passed. Who knows what level she would’ve been on by now??? But, there’s no higher level than the one she’s on now as one of God’s angels.
R.I.P Babygirl. You were so loved.
Live on Forever Aaliyah. You were truly a gift from God.
@19 What you said about Aaliyah is exactly right and perfect. She was a charming blend of street and sweet w/o trying. Alot of artists today try to convey the same swag that was so natural to Aaliyah it had to be in apart of her DNA.
Dang. What a loss.
RIP Aaliyah, love u
x,
i remember this day all so clearly…..
i just left l.a. for my second year of college and was staying with fam in a VERY small town. when i woke up the next morning, (the 26th, my birthday) my aunt told me that she had passed. i didn’t believe it at first but then when i whipped out my laptop and read it on all the websites, it crushed me. saddest birthday to date. i got to my dorm room that evening and played all her albums…
she’s truly missed. such a talented girl. it would’ve been incredible to see where her career could have taken her. and sometimes i wonder….would she have still been with dame dash? and would the roc still be as great as it was? i just wonder…you know. it’s all a ripple effect.
but anywho….
RIP Aaliyah.
Hmm .. feels longer than 8 years to me.
To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever ‘remembered’ she died on August 25.
I wasn’t the biggest Aaliyah fan – I only know like 9 of her songs but I love the 9 I do know. I still listen to Aaliyah – I have those 9 songs on my iPod and I was just ‘jammin’ to them a few days ago.
I was 10 when she died and I still rememeber the day – I went to my friends house who lived across the street from me and she came outside saying “Aaliyah died, Aaliyah died!” and she was crying, I thought she was crazy at the time. I still thought it was sad though cause she was so young!
She was and is still truly loved.
Thank you Angel for this post..
R.I.P Aaliyah Sometimes I still cant believe she was taken away from us so soon.
Awe… Rest in peace babygirl we miss you!!!!! I can’t believe its been 8 years already, where the hell has time gone??
DANG I CANT BELIEVE IT MAN!!!!!
MAN I MET HER OUT HERE N L.A. A FEW WEEKS B4 SHE PAST SHE IS TRUELY A BEAUTIFUL PERSON NSIED & OUT …JUST REALLY SAD SHE HAD 2 GO SO SOON….THEY SAY DA BEST ALWAYS GO 2 SOON…..LOVE U AALIYAH U WILL ALWAYS B MISS YO-Syn’ceRe!
Rest In Peace Aaliyah…Always will be my favorite singer.Ever since I was a lil girl riding a bike you wore my idol.
Pretty,Smart & Talented.Can’t believe she was a yr younger than me when she died.Too Soon…Wish you wore here….your voice and presence is needed.
HAHAHAHA I REMEMBER NICK CANNON AS A DRAG QUEEEN LOL!!!!!!!!
Maaaan, its been 8 yrs! I was a dancer in the band in HS when we all heard, and we were on a trip, and everyone could not believe it. I always think of her & Dame Dash. I think they would’ve been married. Her star power was huge. Movies and music. I remember hearing a lot of roles being intended for her. Her appeal in music would’ve been on such a high level and affected so much going on now. I wonder where her brother is. They were extremely close.
Man I wasn’t a big aaliyah fan but I did enjoy her music. Its just heartbreaking bcuz she was so young and talented that she didn’t get to have more success as an artist. I cannot believe its been eight years! Time flies! And I agree that we cannot cry anymore about it bcuz she’s probably up there not wanting us to cry at all. Don’t cry and don’t feel bad if you’re not grieving still. We all owe it to aaliyah to celebrate her life by living ours. Head for success and never back down!
R.I.P ANGEL!!!!! YOU WERE TRULY ONE IN A MILLION!!!! XOXO
