This brings back memories of 'Romeo Must Die' - that movie sucked. Even though I had won the tickets in a contest, I regretted the gas & refreshments that the movie cost me.

wtfffffffffff?

"In 1995, a rumor surfaced that 15-year-old Aaliyah and 27-year-old R. Kelly had secretly married. Both camps initially denied the rumor, but VIBE magazine published a copy of their marriage license, which showed that Aaliyah's age had been falsely listed as 18. The marriage was annulled a few months later."

Yikes, didn't know she was that young.

She's in the one of the videos where R. Kelly is peeing on a girl.

not even close, Aaliyah didn't have the strongest voice, but it was smooth and she had tons of style. As far as modern R&B she was really in a class by herself. Ciara and a few others would be I guess what you could call close, but they're still far off. Her remake of the Isley classic "At Your Best" was pretty damn good. Listening to Ciara, Rihanna or Ashanti just make me remember how much I like Aaliyah. She was supposed to have stared in the 2nd 2 Matrix movies, I wonder how much different they would have been with her in them. She did a pretty good job in Romeo Must Die, and Queen Of The Damned was interesting.

definitely a tragic death, she made pretty good R&B music without too much bubble gum in it. She was rich, was very pretty and had a near genius IQ, I don't really know what else I could want from a female.

Yeah, I miss her.. Rihanna definitely doesn't fill the gap. Way too much pop in todays new singers like Rihanna and Ciara. Aaliyah was true R&B with great vocals and lyrics. Sad loss for the music world.

"Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody?"


I can't think of Aaliyah without thinking back to that song. :D

have you seen the AVERAGE female a dude from ATOT gets? Jalba would be low on the list of hotness, the dudes on here score with world class honeys like it wasn't nothing.
for the typical ATOT'er to get with a female that looks like Aaliyah, they'd be lowering their standards to an unbelievable low level. The pics you posted aren't even the best of her.

I wish I could be a man who could see her and go "eeeh she's not that hot" must be nice :)

Yeah, i still like that song to this day.

Much better than that "Umbrella, ella, ella, ella" crap that's playing nowadays.
