Aaliyah was whiter than Beyonce, so why couldn't she crossover?
I guess it was just never mean't to be.
Your logic is so flawed though.
The only times she did ever crossover "Try Again" went #1, and "Are You That Somebody?" still went Top 20 despite it finally being allowed to chart after it had been falling down.
I'm sure if she felt the need to crossover it would have been done to perfection.

She was finally STARTING to cross over in the year 2000 with her #1 smash hit "Try Again", VMA win, and movie role. Then that evil bitch Bernard just has to SWOOP in and steal her soul.
I can't even shade Timbaland & Missy Elliot because I still listen to their puppet every so-often.
Hot Like Fire is such a premonition, a few years ahead of its time.
