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.

Near Genius? wasn't it her that demanded that all that extra luggage be put onboard her plane even though the pilot warned them that it would be to heavy? (then again why would the pilot take of?)

I thought I heard it the other way around.

Nope.

glad no one will miss you when you die either.

Funny that this thread popped up, Queen of the Damned was on last night on USA Network. If you thought it was bad in the theater wait until you see how Network TV chopped it up.

Movie reminded me how much I liked Aaliyah, that was a bad year for female R&B singers I believe Left Eye died that same year.
