‘ROUND THE WAY: TIMBALAND & MISSY ON WORKING W/ AALIYAH + CLIP OF UPCOMING AALIYAH SPECIAL ON BET

Although it feels like just yesterday, August 25th will mark the 10th year following the tragic passing of R&B singer Aaliyah. Check out this preview clip from Aaliyah: One In A Million, BET’s upcoming tribute to the late singer. In the video, Timbaland and Missy Elliott recall the very first time they learned that they would be working with Ms. Aaliyah Haughton after she heard and enjoyed a track demo made by them:

We did a record called “Sugar & Spice” that Timbaland and another young man took into Atlantic Records, and when they heard that record they liked the sound and it was something they had never heard before. So they said, ‘Let’s put you all in the studio with Aaliyah.’ And we were excited. [...] I gotta thank her [Aaliyah] because she heard the specialness in us. Continue

‘ROUND THE WAY: “BEYONCE & AALIYAH WOULD BE NECK AND NECK,” SAYS GINUWINE + TANK SAYS “A FEW PEOPLE WOULDN’T HAVE CAREERS” IF SHE WERE ALIVE

In an interview with Boom Box, R&B singer GINUWINE shared his thoughts about singer Aaliyah Haughton, who tragically died in 2001. When asked what he thought about how her career would have been today, he stated that Beyoncé is the closest resemblance of how successful Aaliyah would have been:

“Aaliyah was in a class by herself. If you’re talking triple threat of a writer, singer and actress, that would probably be Beyonce. If Aaliyah were still here, she and Beyoncé would be neck and neck.”

Although other artists like Ciara have been compared to the late singer, Ginuwine made it clear that there’s nothing wrong with it and added:

“I think everyone should aspire to be someone great, and that was one of the greats. Aaliyah was one of the great ones.”

Tank would probably be in agreement with Ginuwine. We recently sat down with the singer/songwriter who worked closely with Aaliyah on her last two albums and he spoke candidly about her and her influence. Make sure to peep the video above.

What do you think about what Ginuwine & Tank said?
