The user stated everyone wanted to act after Aaliyah started acting which simply isn't true, since Brandy, Janet, Whitney & several others had acting roles in HUGE MOVIES (ACTUAL BLOCKBUSTERS).

first of all Gomez fan learn the definition of literal. Miss Aaliyah was not a fish. she did not have gills to flop. Albums are inanimate objects. they cannot flop.

second of all this is ironic because Gomez ("Selena" by first name only is reserved for the legendary Miss Selena Quintanilla r.i.p) has been caught directly stealing Aaliyah's style



this is aaliyah's look from head to toe. I guess Aaliyah had no impact huh?

Her album was already gold within a month's of it's release. Where's the flop? I could see if she toured, put out 10 videos and then the album stalled, but that was never the case. You cant judge an entire album era's future based on what it did in one month. Gtfoh.

And back then, the roles she was booking was huge. Who else was doing it besides Janet and Whitney? Ill wait.

And Aaliyah's singles did well considering she was an independent artist. I mean billboard even wrote an article about how she was robbed of several hits because of her sh!tty label.

Romeo Must Die grossed nearly 100 million ww (even grossed more than Brandy's theatre debut) with a multi platinum soundtrack to match. For a debut non franchise, that's extremely impressive. Besides the obvious heavy hitters Janet and Whitney, no other black female in music at the time was fccking doing it on the big screen, period.


Last time i checked, beyonce's first two non franchise films were straight to dvd and a huge box office bomb.

let me tell you something about the beautiful Queen Aaliyah.

She was destined for stardom. YES she was. She was a godly woman and good things were going to happen to her. She was already queen of crossing over to movies and making amazing soundtracks yes she was. Try Again? Are you that somebody? My angel was very talented and smart, yes she was. But then something happened; Dame Dash happened. He sacrificied Aaliyah. Why? Because his career was completely flopping. no one wanted anything to do with him. so he thought sacrificing Aaliyah would bring him back into good circles. and guess what? The entire industry knew. Jay-Z knew. Miss Boo Rachel Roy knew. Beyonce knew. MJB knew. They all damn knew. Timbaland knew. Missy Elliot knew. Yeah, they pretended to be Aaliyahs friends but they knew. Well I take that back the good sis Mary J Blige was a good friend to Aaliyah. but she was too scared to Dame and Jay to say anything. You see, Dame was desperatley trynna save his record company and his relationship with Jay Z. Beyonce knew damn well with Aaliyah gone she could become the new queen because her relationship with Jay would bring her to that level. yes Bey Bey is THAT dirty. she stole everything from Aaliyah. her costumes, her music videos, her crossing over into acting. everything. very dirty. yet she sat up there and acted nice with miss queen Aaliyah cause she knew she would soon be taking the crown. And miss Rachel Roy was promised a career in fashion with Aaliyah out the way. cause Aaliyah was a fashion icon, yes she was. she made Tommy Hilfiger what it was today. she set trends. and miss thot roy got her fashion line. it did well for 2 years but then it completely flopped because the lord was NOT going to let anyone profit from aaliyah's death, no he wasnt. that is how good the lord is. amen. He made sure Aaliyah rested in peace and not a PENNY was made off her name. thats why that complete flop of a movie about Aaliyahs life made by miss wendy williams flopped. He was not having that. But back to Aaliyahs future. yes she was destined to be a star. The industry loved her, yes she did. And so did everyone else. I just wish Aaliyah listened to Miss Blige's warnings in her lyrics. and listened to her dreams. Aaliyah would dream about "flying high" and feeling very peaceful after flying. YES. she did. this is one month before she died she told a german magazine that. You see? the Lord was trying to protect her. but Aaliyah fought through it. cause of that low down dirty dog Dame Dash. And guess what? Bey aint safe now either. yeah she had her time but now the industry ready to make queen Rihanna the new it girl. Bey better be careful or they might do her in. they did Miss Keri Hilson in. they did miss fantasia barrino in. and miss jennifer hudson in cause they were not willign to be puppets. they already served the lord, yes they did. nope they had the integrity to not bow down. so the industry said "BYE" and destroyed their careers. cause thats what they do. its nasty. very very nasty. But enough about Beyonce back to Miss Aaliyah. her voice was amazing. her looks were amazing. her talent was there. she was destined for great things yes she was. and she is a legend. she had more impact on the music business than anyone out today. Look at all the new kids up on the block. Miss Ariana, miss tinashe, miss beyonce, miss rihanna. They all followed in Aaliyah footsteps. Aaliyah, Miss Brandy, Miss Monica, Miss Mariah , Miss Mary J, and Miss Jackson all paved the way for what the girls doing now. and y'all think whats happening now is new and exciting have a damn seat i seen this over and over again. there are no legends in this generation. everything just copied. copied from the true divas that paved the way. So yall keep listening to your new faves, thinking they changing the game but know that the rules were already made. yes they were. be blessed yall

You girls are still pressed I said Bey was a Li stan ?
Didn't Janet's first 2-3 albums FLOP ? Didn't Ushers first album FLOP ? I mean had they died after those albums all of you non miss cleo bitches would be trying it like complete bafoons let's get in formation and to the facts : Aaliyah had a L'Oréal contract among others coming in 2002, first GLOBAL WW tour, first VMA/GRAMMY/AWARD shows coming, 5 film contract, LOOSE CONTROL + some of Ciara's hits would've been soundtrack hits for Li, Nelly's Loose would've been Li's and Timb didn't truly fall of until 2010 on top of the fact that she was branching out to bigger and better things meanwhile Bey was watching her growth and Rih is basically an updated Aaliyah look book (no shade) .
