Fun fact: During the rain scene, it was extremelyyyyy cold outside. But she handles it so well that you wouldn’t think it was. Other people would’ve been shivering and everything. She was a pro! 🔥
She recorded this song when she was a junior in High School, she’s just different man 🙏🏾🕊 written by the Great Diane Warren from my favorite album of all time One In A Million!
Idk if you’ve seen it already, but definitely check out Aaliyah’s contribution to the “Anastasia” Movie soundtrack called “Journey To The Past” 💗 it’s so beautiful. It’s another showing that Aaliyah truly had a voice to remember!
That's what you get Jack for underestimating Aaliyah's vocals😌....there's more to it too I feel as though her voice is overlooked because it isn't powerhouse where it's super strong and has a lot of depth kinda voices..but NOT EVERYONE HAS TO SOUND LIKE THAT you don't have to holler or shout hard and do crazy runs to be a great singer it's really about the tone and approach you take while you're singing.... you're Singing style matters too...in Aaliyah's case Aaliyah has a beautiful angelic voice it isn't super strong but it holds it's on and it's angelic( which I personally love) and she could sing very very very well with her angelic voice... it's really just how you approach a song and what emotions or what you put into the song and singing with it so I think in my opinion her voice is Gorgeous
The thing with Aaliyah she sang most of her songs in lighter tone so ppl disrespect her vocal prowess ,maybe if she did more songs that show power ppl wldnt undermine her
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 that's a fact💯 but that's what makes it more emotional for most people because she had the right approach to showcase her vocals in small quantities and as the years progress she shows more and more and gets better and better...that way no one would get tired of her... underestimate her talent or versatility... but she didn't have that chance like most and ended up gone before she could surprise a lot of people.
This version of the song is not the same one from the album. Aaliyah didn't like the album version but, the record company wanted the album complete so she turned it in with the first version. This version she sings more emotional and with more passion.
You're right Jack, this song is on another level and the amazing thing you couldn't pin point was that this song was written by DIANE WARREN. I call her the queen of song writers who reigned next to the king of song writers Babyface. Diane Warren also wrote the words and music to big hits like Have You Ever - Brandy, I Don't Want To Miss a Thing - Aerosmith, Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion, and For You I Will - Monica. Among many others ever since the 80s. I hope you react to For You I Will cause that one showcases Monica's vocals really well and will blow your mind away. But thanks for reacting to this Aaliyah classic. Edit: DW also wrote Unbreak my Heart - Toni Braxton. 😁
If you want more examples of what Aaliyah can do vocally then check out: Journey to the Past Giving Up (which is her rendition of Donny Hathaway's version of the song) Never Giving Up (off the One In A Million album) Street Thing Turn the Page Never No More Aaliyah singing The National Anthem Aaliyah singing My Funny Valentine on Star Search at 10 years old Aaliyah singing Ave Maria for her audition for the performing arts school she went to (audio)
Aaliyah was definitely one in a million, her voice gives me goosebumps! Thanks for reaction cos I’d never heard this one before. Please do Black or White by MJ soon! ✨
Me and my best friend in elementary school used to hang outside the windows in the Bronx from the 2nd floor, back in the 90’s, and sing this at the top of our lungs .. people walking by would join in. One of the best memories..
I was waiting for you to do this one so you could put some respek on Aaliyah’s vocals. Lol Nah but I’m glad you gave her props for the vocals on this song. We tried to tell you she could beast when she wanted to. Hahaha!
Literally my fav Aaliyah song with ad libs💕🔥💕🔥 Mmaannn she went off to the heavens with these vocals. Her voice was sssooo clear, strong and soft at the same time 😩🙏🏽🙏🏽….
When I first heard At Your Best, I was like her voice is so pure, angelic, very clear & beautiful. I literally felt like my ears were not worthy to hear her voice on that song. But with this song she really sung it from her heart, her soul. Nice reaction Jack.
This is hands down my fave Aaliyah song. I mean the music and the lyrics and her voice. And I felt that pain and emotion Thru her cuz rumor had it this song about r Kelly. She really loved that man. This song and the video and when she in the rain. Omg. Perfection.
Shali K I think the video version is a better song in terms of it being a “single” but the album version fits the album more & I enjoy the album version more!
🌴 *Talofa Jack* 😜 Thank you for FINALLY reacting to this masterpiece! (after 1000 requests) 😊 This is by far my FAVORITE song and visual from *_Aaliyah_* 💎 It would have been great to have Aaliyah and Diane Warren create more masterpieces together ♡
I miss her so much music has not been the same since she left this earth. She had such class and style and very talented love you baby girl much love 💘
i beg you do turn the page (anniversary version) - its only 1min30 secs but its truly absolutely stunning and my all time favourite from her. also, giving up and journey to the past
been waiting for this one! legendary songwriter Diane Warren wrote this. Diane Warren also wrote songs like "have you ever" by Brandy, "unbreak my heart" by Toni Braxton, "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith, to name a few. The album version is different than the video version. The video version was re-recorded. She re-recorded it for the video and radio play where she was SANGIN' on it. The radio edit that is on the cd single I own is an edited version of this one
Thanks Jack. This is definitely one of her best, even tho it didn't get the airplay it deserved, it definitely pulls on the heart strings just a lil bit. R.I.P Aaliyah. Gone, but not forgotten.
So many memories are wrapped up in anything Aaliyah put out for me. I was a hormonal teen during this period of time. I have a request ...You by Jesse Powell. You won't regret it!!
This hella makes me want you to react to “What If” from her. It is SO different from her other stuff. She experimented with different genres a lot (some work really well, like “What If” but some don’t, like “Read Between The Lines”, which is the only eh song on the album).
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in the studio sessions for both versions of this song ❤ Babyface was scheduled to produce the album version of this song, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he wasn’t able to complete the work so Daryl Simmons replaced him and completed the song. This version (the single version) was produced by Guy Roche. Aaliyah’s camp decided to rework the song to appeal to the masses with a pop sound. This version would be Aaliyah’s final single from her ‘One in a Million’ album 📀
Diane Warren written this song for her also diane Warren also written songs for so many artists like toni Braxton's un-break my heart celine Dion because you loved me and many more
Great reaction, Jack! If you can, will you please react to Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire" (Timbaland remix)? The day she died was August 25th. So, it would be cool for you to react to it for her memory. The video had Missy, Timbaland, Lil' Kim, and Playa in it. It's a vibe.

“who broke Aaliyah’s heart?” bro just about everyone who was ever supposed to protect her :(
True that's
Facts 💯
This always breaks my heart.
Damn, this comment is the truth OP 😔
R Kelly
The reason why Whitney Houston chose Aaliyah to be Sparkle 🙏🏽❤
People truly sleep on her vocals
Beatriz Matias I also think she would’ve made a great Cinderella if Brandy didn’t do it!
Facts!
Whitney adopted all the 90s teen Divas.
Fun fact: During the rain scene, it was extremelyyyyy cold outside. But she handles it so well that you wouldn’t think it was. Other people would’ve been shivering and everything. She was a pro! 🔥
Aaliyah SANG on this one. She definitely poured her heart out. She was and will always be one in a million.
She recorded this song when she was a junior in High School, she’s just different man 🙏🏾🕊 written by the Great Diane Warren from my favorite album of all time One In A Million!

Yes please Jack you have to react to that song hehe ☺
Great song
Yessssss my fav. Tbh her best vocally, I think she was nominated for an Oscar for that song.
Other songs that showcase Aaliyah’s vocal prowess: Never Giving Up, Never No More, and Giving Up. You’re gonna be blown away man🔥🔥
Street Thing too🤯
Journey to the Past
Choosey Lover
@@liyahssmooth yyyeeesssss!
That's what you get Jack for underestimating Aaliyah's vocals😌....there's more to it too
I feel as though her voice is overlooked because it isn't powerhouse where it's super strong and has a lot of depth kinda voices..but NOT EVERYONE HAS TO SOUND LIKE THAT you don't have to holler or shout hard and do crazy runs to be a great singer it's really about the tone and approach you take while you're singing.... you're Singing style matters too...in Aaliyah's case Aaliyah has a beautiful angelic voice it isn't super strong but it holds it's on and it's angelic( which I personally love) and she could sing very very very well with her angelic voice... it's really just how you approach a song and what emotions or what you put into the song and singing with it so I think in my opinion her voice is Gorgeous

@@davionna9594 sooooooooooooo true
1:27 Jack: "She sounds like an angel."
...She IS an angel. ❤
This is literally my favorite Aaliyah song, she sang her heart out.
aaliyah was def one of the best vocalist ive heard.. sultry vocals a true classic
One of my favorite Aaliyah songs is Street Thing from her first album. At the end, she goes to church. You should listen to it. ❤️ it.
He gotta get to this, favorite non-single from that album!!!
THIS IS THE SONG that made me an Aaliyah fanatic!!!!
You have to react to I refuse by Aaliyah ...... such a powerful song
“This is where I’ve got to draw the line”.....🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesss!!!!
Fr
This version of the song is not the same one from the album. Aaliyah didn't like the album version but, the record company wanted the album complete so she turned it in with the first version. This version she sings more emotional and with more passion.
Her record label was shit ,they let her down alot
You're right Jack, this song is on another level and the amazing thing you couldn't pin point was that this song was written by DIANE WARREN. I call her the queen of song writers who reigned next to the king of song writers Babyface. Diane Warren also wrote the words and music to big hits like Have You Ever - Brandy, I Don't Want To Miss a Thing - Aerosmith, Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion, and For You I Will - Monica. Among many others ever since the 80s. I hope you react to For You I Will cause that one showcases Monica's vocals really well and will blow your mind away. But thanks for reacting to this Aaliyah classic.
Edit: DW also wrote Unbreak my Heart - Toni Braxton. 😁
@BaeBae Rose Yea DW wrote so many great underrated songs. It's sad that there's still so many people that don't know her.
Her voice was so versatile
I sang this song when I was 16 or 17 in the school talent show. I was nervous as heck! Lol. Memories.

React to “Giving up” by Aaliyah it’s different then “Never Givin Up” she has 2 songs with similar names!
Me and my best friend in elementary school used to hang outside the windows in the Bronx from the 2nd floor, back in the 90’s, and sing this at the top of our lungs .. people walking by would join in. One of the best memories..
This is a classic and beautiful song her vocals were angelic

Speaking of rain, have you reacted to Carl Thomas "Summer Rain" yet? His voice is soooo soothing 😎

When I first heard At Your Best, I was like her voice is so pure, angelic, very clear & beautiful. I literally felt like my ears were not worthy to hear her voice on that song. But with this song she really sung it from her heart, her soul. Nice reaction Jack.
Such a beautiful song!!! She sounds lovely - showcases her vocals!!!

The original right? The music vid is the remix. Love both. But the original is funky
Mark A yeh I like the remix better than the original on one in a million album
@@Markadown The video is iconic but the album version is superior imo
No! The original is waaaay better than the remix! The original is just so dope and smooth. The remix ruins it for me.
Shali K I think the video version is a better song in terms of it being a “single” but the album version fits the album more & I enjoy the album version more!

I have a request ...You by Jesse Powell. You won't regret it!!

Watch her MTV Diary of Aaliyah, it documents her last months with the release of her last album
React to Aaliyah journey to the past.
I just love this song so much bc it's like her angelic voice is speaking to my soul! Glad you reacted to this luv~ 😇💗
Some people think she sings about R. Kelly. Don’t forget in this video she’s still 16 years old (maybe 17) and she married him 1 year before
Stfu bringing up that disgusting ass man. This song was written by Diane warren so please explain why it’d be about him
This is my favorite Aaliyah song... Was so waiting for this reaction.
You got in your feels Jack 😂❤️
This hella makes me want you to react to “What If” from her. It is SO different from her other stuff. She experimented with different genres a lot (some work really well, like “What If” but some don’t, like “Read Between The Lines”, which is the only eh song on the album).

You posting earlier and earlier. You surprised me as I go on UA-cam.
Great reaction, Jack! If you can, will you please react to Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire" (Timbaland remix)? The day she died was August 25th. So, it would be cool for you to react to it for her memory. The video had Missy, Timbaland, Lil' Kim, and Playa in it. It's a vibe.
I wanna request Understanding by Xscape, How Many Ways by Toni Braxton, & Love Will Be Waiting At Hope by For Real (Babyface production) 🤗
Understanding from Xscape is my song. He actually has that song on his reaction list so I think he might be teasing and prolonging it on purpose lol
She’s actually a trained vocalist
Yes! Do “Heartbroken” and “At Your Best” slow version.
this song is everything🤧
Classic song love this one can you react to xscape feel so good 😣🔥👍🏽
Aaliyah At your best
Age ain't nothing but a number
Street thing
Pretty Ricky Age ain't nothing but a number
Honey
Finally!!!!!! I clicked so fast
I like this video version of the song better than the album version! 💯❤
People slept on this when it dropped in ‘96. “One in a Million” was a hit with the classic Timbaland beat. Check out “Journey to the Past.”
She's singing about her heartbreak with R. Kelly. They were married the year before she recorded this song.
Thank you for reacting to this song! One of my favorites. Now you should react to "Journey To The Past".
Aaliyah - where could he be feat tweet
Kelis - bossy
Kelly Rowland - like this
You should react to aaliyah " i refuse" , " loose rap" , and " never no more"
