Aaliyah was a great singer and an even better person, she came into the game at a very young age and we watched her grow before our very own eyes. The tomboyish girl with R. Kelly in the background suddenly became this sexy woman that had the world in the palm of her hands. She could sing, act, and was extremely likeable, her smile brought peace to any room she stepped in. You know a person is genuine when people only have great things to say about them when they pass. In her career she sold over 24 million records and it wasnt because of heavy marketing, celebrity drama, or other exploits singers use these days. Her talent, her singing and dancing, Still inspire people till this day.
In 2010 you will see an adaptation of her life on the big screen with Canadian singer Keisha Chante playin the role of Aaliyah. Hopefully this film and the actress will give Aaliyah justice for the legacy she left behind.
