I'm absolutely dead at people saying she'd be irrelevant, when a month before her death she had her highest selling album debut, and was working in two of the biggest movies of all time.

She'd atleast be bigger than where she currently was. She was in the industry 7 years, she knew how to pace herself and not be irrelevant. Give her the proper credit.

Originally posted by fortheloveofmusic Aaliyah was always ahead of the trend though. She probably would have reinvented herself with the times unlike Brandy or Monica. She had more drive than Brandy and Monica. I doubt she would have just flopped once R&B couldn't top the charts anymore. She would have found a new sound for herself to compete with newer acts.

That's exactly my point. If she done just that and changed up her sound, she would have done great.

How would she be completely irrelevant and forgotten?

She's dead and hasn't done literally ANYTHING and is still not forgotten, so how would she be it if she was alive and was actually doing things?

I mean she was collaborating with Janet Jackson, had her highest album sales, was doing two of the biggest movies of all-time, and was working with Whitney Houston in sparkle.

I've lost all faith in ATRL.

Originally posted by Dominic I assume everyone that voted "Completely forgotten and irrelevant artist" aren't even old enough to actually remember her. How disrespectful. Timbaland is still alive and you KNOW they would have kept working together so either way you would REMEMBER her. And still, YOU REMEMBER her now.

-If Aaliyah was alive, would it have changed or delayed Matthew Knowles' desire to make Beyonce into a solo star so soon?
-Would Timbaland have given his material for Future Sex/LoveSounds/Loose/Shock Value to Aaliyah down the road?
-Would Matrix 2 and 3 open doors for her do be in other action films such as X-Men?
-Would there be a need for Ashanti, Ciara, or even Rihanna? Would their sound or image be different?

Only on ATRL will someone dying at the height of their music and movie career be called irrelevant if they were alive to actually finish it all.
