Some beautiful tributes (some fan made, some of them from the media i.e. BET, MTV, etc including the "I Miss You" music video).

Loved her and I always will... She will always be the most beautiful woman of R&B and her voice was ultra smooth like slik. R.I.P Baby Girl

It is so unsettling that she is not with us anymore. The scene would be so much different. It just seemed unreal. Still feels that way, too.

Then 9/11 happened a few weeks after that. The last few months of that year were just very dark in America, culturally.

It's still hard to believe...

So beautiful, inside and out

What happened? Did I go out of style?

Yeah, that was a said day indeed. She was just starting to get the accolades she deserved. I was looking forward to her next music career move(s). I'm sure more established producers would have been chomping at the bit to produce her.

The NFL..National Funk League "Once upon a time, Disco wuz fine, I jus' funk wit' tha' Funk"

I must admit that I couldn't get with her self titled album when it was released but it's really a classic to remember...

Awe, good lives lived short.

I still listen to her music and will always remember her mesmorizing me with her style of voice and dance.



I remember this day so well, still.

Lovely in every way.

Isn't "Never No More" on the album too. Ya'll talkin' about her last album right? Never No More it's one of my favorites on the album.

Wonderful talent..what do you guys think of Jay Z's verse on the remix of Missing You?

It's been 6 years I remember it like it was yesterday. What a beautiful girl she was.



Smooches;)

I've always loved her. Her first album with pedo was only okay, but for me her music really took off once she hooked up with Timbaland. Great stuff. It's been said before, but she was a good entertainer who never realized her full potential.

Does anyone remember when Mary J. was on Oprah last year or the year before promoting Breakthrough? She talked more about addiction and taking control of her life and - I'm paraphrasing - she said something about not wanting to see her life go the direction Aaliyah's took and that she was associating herself with the wrong people. What was she referring to?

Who knows what Mary was referring to and its a little lame if Mary was throwing a litle salt in Aaliyah's memory. At the point of her death, no one knew of any negativity going on so why bring it up now.

It was just a question.

Maybe its the fact she was engaged to Damon Dash.....or something

Who knows....

Aww, I still miss Aaliyah. She was one of the few celebrities who I cried for when she passed away....Luther hit me pretty hard too. What you saw was who she was and that's a rare thing to see in the entertainment industry. I remember being upset that many people didn't buy her last album when it first came out, but were more than happy to pick up a copy after she was gone; but they showed love, so I can't really be all that mad. Soo sad when the angels come and take one of their own back home. Her acting career was really about to take off and I was ready for it. I still can't believe that she's been gone for 6 years now, but I'll just listen to what DMX said at the beginning of the 'I Miss You' video. "I still can't believe that you're gone, so I won't...I'll just think of it like we haven't seen each other in a while." Keep flying with the angels, Baby Girl...you really were one in a million.
