I'm sure she was big when she was around but people on here like to make her seem like some goddess that was untouchable when it has been over 11 years since she died.

All deceased artists are overrated. People become very fake when someone dies.

Kinda. Her voice, music and dancing was not that special.

Yes She is.

This.

!!!!

BuT people tend to underrate people who are overrated.

She was quite a good singer. QUITE. Her last album proves that. Unfortunately, we live in a land where Christina Aguilera is "the standard" for female vocalists, so if you don't yell at the top of your lungs all the damn time, you ain't ****.

If you don't think she was a good dancer either, you obviously haven't seen her videos many times.

This is true.

She's Overrated. I do enjoy her music, but she's not even close to being a legend with the material she had put out.

Her vocals were really bad live, but I will admit, she has an amazing voice in the studio.

I didn't know who she was until I signed up in Atrl and yeah, here she's quite overrated.

Yes, she was. I hate how people act like Aaliyah is so much better than Ciara. To ME, Ciara > Aaliyah.

No. She was absolutely incredible.

If anything, she's underrated. Never won a Grammy, and due to her untimely death some young people don't know who she is.

No. she CLEARLY influenced a lot of artists these days

So she deserves all the due respect

Shes quite underrated to me to be pretty honest

But she was?

Unfortunately true.

She's only overrated by fake ass fans who can't name two of her songs. The real fans know the REAL tea.

Someone told me the other day that if there was no Aaliyah there'd be no Mariah Carey...

Anyways..

I think her music gets proper praise because it is great but her success is overrated. People act like she was on Britney Spears or. Beyonce level of fame before she died..

Yes tbh

You're saying two different things in one sentence

Sis, how can you say she's overrated if you barely know her?

Anyway, I understand the fact that she was unique and that her laid-back r&b style influenced A LOT of these current singers, but I ain't mad crazy about her sound.
