saying "Aaliyah would have flopped" makes no sense.
Because honestly, we don't know if she would have flopped or she would have been successful. It is possible she could have flopped because her singles weren't doing too well, and it was possible she would have been big because her star power was rising with all the movie deals, magazine covers and her album was doing well.
Plus, if Rihanna died in 2005 (thank god she didn't) I bet y'all would be saying she would've been a flop too. That just further proves my point that you can't really have a say on these type of things when it comes to Aaliyah. So let's please let her soul Rest In Peace. Baby girl will always be remembered
Correct no one knows for sure what her career would have been but ppl who make this comments are basing it off her album sales at the time compared to other R&B girls.
However Aaliyah had a distinct look and was clearly crossing over in Hollywood with an increasing star power.
- But umm... That Rihanna analogy is super random there's no correlation
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
Saying other people wouldn't be here if she was alive also makes no sense... especially, if they were successful alongside her the whole time.
I'm not sure that she would flop 100% bc the future is interchangeable & unknown but there is a logical explanation as to why people would think that considering her last album and the songs from it weren't doing well initially & the Timbaland sound was going out of style

Aaliyah didn't die in her first album, so saying "Rihanna dying in 2005" is such a flop comparison
Honestly, the statement in the OP isn't even a popular one. The argument I CONSTANTLY see is "Beyoncé would be nothing if Aaliyah was alive" happen but there's literally no fact to that. When Aaliyah died, her album did alright it's first week, but it started to drop.
As tough as it is to admit, her death was the best thing to happen to her career because it cemented her status as a Icon and gave her so much more influence and impact she wouldn't have had without it. Y'all praise her as an amazing vocalist when her vocals have always been bad/mediocre. Y'all praise her as an amazing dancer when her dancing was not even that great to begin with; two videos won't change that. She never wrote a song in her entire career, yet she was SOOOO talented . She isn't some Rihanna with the crossover appeal since she never had a global hit in her career. Rihanna had SOS & Unfaithful, massive global smashes, Within her first 2 years in the business. Aaliyah was never marketed as the global artist Rihanna was, even after her death .
She was moving towards movie anyway so she was probably going the Queen Latifah route. No one knows where Aaliyah would've been had she died, so threads like these are pointless. Signs point to no, but who knows. She could've pulled a Dark Horse and miraculously smashed the charts.
All we have are the several CLASSIC songs of hers.

Aaliyah wasn't known outside of the US and she wasn't known by the GP in the US either. She was flopping before she died.
A beyonce fan. so obvious.'
you know nothing about miss Aaliyah do you? she was a legend. she was not flopping. she had a solo #1 before beyonce ever did. she was starring in crtiically acclaimed movies and making hit soundtracks before miss beyonce has yet to do. and she wasnt known outside the US? Thats why romeo must die starred the biggest chinese star in the world Mr.Jet Li? Sit down miss. you know nothing about Aaliyahs accomplished. Without Aaliyah there would be no Beyonce know that.
