Same You know 2019 will be 90s copy page By fashion deff hope music but I don't think they are full of shit I am proud who I am and That I am listening this with my 16 yo
Aaliyah tended to sing a octave lower when singing live , you can hear it in her voice her voice sounds different from the record/ a little shakey its live as for her falsetto that was a very easy register for her she mastered it by the time she was 14 when she had her first album.
@Melanin Poppington aaliyah actually still had long hair. She added extentions sometimes for style or extra thickness..the length was at times all hers tho
This is the definition of SWAG...everything about her was always so cool, understated. Never looked like she was trying at all..not to be good, or sexy or stylish..she just oozed it. A STAR for sure.
Everybody got out they seat once Aaliyah's name was announced. They were like "OH HELL YESSSS THAT'S MY GIRL!" Mannnn, she was so loved. Wish she was still here and can't get enough of this futuristic ass masterpiece orchestrated by Missy Elliott & Timbaland.
She was the queen of mixing in her natural tonality she never hit to string of attack notes with to much attacks . She understood her voice and the power that it can be ..
What I like about Aaliyah is that her dancing was still good and memorable but she didn't have to do the most. She had really good subtle dancing. Side note: can people stop comparing her to Beyoncé!!! Two completely different artists. Beyoncé is a power singer and Aaliyah had a much softer quality to her voice. Both incredibly talented, incredibly beautiful Black Women. Instead of pitting Black Women against each other we should be building them up because let's be real, they both are dope ass artists.
@adiamondsmile Beyonce isn't a great singer? She is a star vocalist with 5 octaves. A mezzo soprano that can perfectly hit high notes way out of her vocal range. Try again.
say some names who are you talking about...because most r and b singers are underground and not mainstream. your comment is typical nostalgia and makes no sense. especially since we being technical aaliyah wasn't the best singer but you give a pass because of nostalgia. we wouldn't love aaliyah if not for missy and r kelly writing for her and timbaland producing for her. stop the nonsense. and dont tell me you mean "Sza" because yall stuck on the one song she did and talking about her being a bad influence gtfo
Theresa Taylor Ikr. Artist these days are wack! They copy off of old songs and over sexualize everything. Talentless. And the rappers mumble to much. Imo
I think alot of people took Aaliyah vocals for granted back in the day. The way she goes from hi to low notes is crazy. I remember seeing her at the budweiser superfest back in 97 in D.C. with my sis who passed 2 years after Aaliyah and I was on my feet the entire time!
Almost 22 years later and she is a timeless icon. No one can come close to her style and music. She was definitely a one in a billion. We can only imagine how much more she would have achieved. We miss you Aaliyah very much. ❤
It's 1:59 AM and here I am watching her performances. I was doing quite fine - groovin' & singing along, until I got to this video. I just listened... and watched, with my teary eyes. Such pure talent. Such a loveful human. Gone way too soon. We love and miss you so so much, Aaliyah. Always in our ears. Forever in our hearts.
To PH WH: Same here. I jus listened and watched through teary eyes. More times, I will be doing quite fine as you say "groovin & singing along", but then I will get choked up and the tears will come. Usually it happens during "I Care 4 U" and "One In A Million" when I hear the angelic quality of her voice. Like you said "such pure talent" "gone way too soon." And I like your quote "Always in our ears. Forever in our hearts." RIP Babygirl
I'm so grateful to have been born in 87. I feel like the 90s were the best years in American history and the golden years of black media and entertainment.
There will never be another "Babygirl/ betta known as Aaliyah". Twenty-two years since her passing, and I can't name one artist that had an impact on me the way Aaliyah did. She truly was "One In A Million". Rest in peace...the Princess of RnB until we see you again.
That chest voice of hers is impressive (dark and STRONG) and uses it extensively live. I'm convinced she was a true alto. A very rare voice among the ladies but it in this genre if anything they are over represented. I should know, I'm a contralto myself like Toni Braxton. Compare her with Beyonce at the same age whose chest voice is nothing in comparison to Aaliyah's
lol at the beginning when he said if ya girl only knew and the tiltle say one in a million i was finna say damn steve been doing this for years but then it cut to the next video
Aaliyah was truly a great singer on stage and in the studio no one can ever say in my eyes that she was not a great singer because she wants and forever will be when she was living and in heaven where she's at R.I.P BABY GIRL AALIYAH THE ANGEL...♡☆
I'm so glad we have these memories to look back on I was a little girl when she was out but my daughter knows who she is A LEGEND NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO COMPARE TO HER EVER R.I.P BABYGIRL
The fact that I was only one when this aired is heartbreaking I wish I was around when Aaliyah was really Popping her music and legacy will live on forever !
@@jerseybricks6426 I don't think they would have her singing at the Oscars if she couldn't or sing or when she sung for the president she just couldn't sing and dance at the same time she needed more practice on dancing and singing live since most of her songs required head voice.
She was sooo grown... wayyyyyy ahead of her age or anyone!! I really believe to this day she would be making hits... she would be above all the women artist even Beyonce. No telling what she had to bring us, R.I.P!! Now DMX is with her prolly already making more music in Heaven
People say she can’t sing live but if you listen she sounded good when she stopped dancing. Not saying this queen didn’t sound good either way but people always gon find something to hate about a good person
Ain’t nobody touching Aaliyah!!!! To thisss day she held her own!! She carried her so well at a young age. Nothing but respect towards her soul regardless of whatever!
I can tell by this song that her death opened the doors for many new r&b artists because if she was still alive today many people wouldn't be having to much fun today.
I never thought aaliyah was a great vocalist but she could sing and move and was beautiful and had dope songs so she was easy to sell. Total package. This wasnt a great vocal performance all the way through but i honestly didn't care, she had mystery, magic and grace.
At least you said she can sing instead of having poor judgement to say oh she can't. All she needed to do was sound like the record, not be Whitney Houston. Alot of singers today can't do that. But she was a good vocalist and could've been better over time.
People commenting on her voice must not notice the echoing, meaning the equipment was effecting her voice. I can hear her voice thru it. She sounds beautiful.
People saying she can't sing live but think about the sound quality of music equipment then compared to now. Plenty of artists sound rough live but she still sounds very close to her studio sound.
rihj200 no one is making excuses alot of artist back in the day really didnt sound so good live and u have to remember everyone voice develops different
I miss Aaliyah. Her swag was something else.

Aaliyah was "formed" by her mom and dad...and her mom and dad were "formed" by *THEIR* parents...etc.
Gee Jackson probably the same that he said about us. I wonder how long she'll last on this shitty earth.
I rather listen to Aaliyah than today's artists. Just being honest

Word me too, but However that Ella Mae Album boy is 🔥 fire just like that Amerie first Album.
