Sorry i had to reveal the secret about her. I loved Aaliyah also....Don't want to ruin her legacy....

Well it explains the bust up between him and Damon.

I just saw something about Jay and they were talking about how he disregards business partners after a while. This is a better explanation.

I doubt it. She would be on the D-List like Brandy and Monica.

I love Monica, but I agree.

The girl is mad sexy and no one can take that from her. Aaliyah was alluring but alluring don't always pay the bills ya know? pimp

Now I read everything and yes I have to say this. Today Yahoo posted natural beauties on their site and they posted Beyonce without so called makeup and she looks very very very average without it.

Now its nothing wrong with that... but the article suggested that the celebrities looked "stunning" and "beautiful" and I didnt get that from that picture or whenever I see Beyonce without makeup..

Ive seen pictures with Beyonce without makeup, Yes, you all know Im not a fan but please hear me out. Im being rational with this but critiquing her looks and sexual appeal objectively... she is really not THAT attractive in the way people make her out to be "naturally"

Her looks are very manufactured. And Ive heard ALOT of people say this about her "looks" as being okay without makeup.

How? Lets look at the science behind this...

She is the kind of girl that if you put ALOT of makeup on throw some weave in her hair and give her a pretty dress, she will have "sexual" appeal. Its really not that hard and alot of women can get away with this.

I mean she definitly is NOT hideous or ugly BUT she is not a woman I would classify as gorgeous by any means. Beyonce has a nice shape, curvy woman (most black women are) without makeup she is okay looking but thats about it lol , There are FARR more attractive African American women and I am a bit tired of her being shoved as the blueprint of what so called BLACK women should look like when all that bullshit makup is removed she looks... plain, average..not hating just being honest

An ordinary woman of color doesnt wear blonde hair or has a shit load of makeup everyday when they go out... just saying... Beyonce is trying to have a cross over appeal. Im not knocking her hustle but Im not falling for the bullshit neither.

Aaliyah was NATURALLY STUNNING and is FARRRRR more sexier and prettier than Beyonce will ever be and I am not saying this because I dont like Beyonce Ive seen pictures of aaliyah WITHOUT MAKEUP and even with makeup she is far prettier..

TWO,

Aaliayah was a FAR better dancer and a DAMN SURE BETTER ACTRESS. She also has MORE CLASSICS something overrated Beyonce has yet to generate.

The ONLY reason why Beyonce got to where she was was because she sold sex and because of how she was marketed. It had nothing to do with her music or mediocrity.

Aaliyah is a household name and has a big fanbase...

Aaliyah also had a sincerity, fun and "intriguing" personality that made you interested in wanting to get to know her unlike the boring, fabricated no personality Beyonce.

Aaliyah was real.. Beyonce is not. I honestly believe Aaliyah would have been bigger because their would have been more competition. Beyonce most definitly would not have been as successful if Aaliyah were still alive, she was at the height of her fame.... and even till this day based on her strong fanbase its clear ALOT of people not liked her not just her music but HER. Its amazing that her death had such an impact and she wasnt even a "Icon" during her period in her life

not likely. her career was already in slight decline at the time of her death. the album she had out that year didn't do much until after she died.

Her last album was great even if she was slipping down at first, it was what she called her own version of ''Control'' So maybe she would have had a HUGE Rhythm Nation next?

Who know's wink , i love her 2 albums with Timbaland & i love a decent portion of Age Ain't Nothin But A Number.

What do you think is better One In A Million or The Self titled album?

She's really not. I'm sorry. I was just saying if I had to make a Top Ten list I'm not sure if she would even make it. She's definitely attractive but the way I see folks attempt to build her up like she's just the pinnacle is hi-lari-ousss. Take the lacefront off, remove the make-up, push her out in broad daylight, look at her up close, and she's nothing special. Kelly Rowland, quiet as it's kept, is more beautiful than Beyonce. Aaliyah, Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry, Naomi Campbell, Jada Pinkett, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys would all clock-in before her. And in their prime stacked up against hers? Please. People do the same thing with white women. You'll hear Megan Fox (who needs a sandwich), you'll hear Angelina Jolie (who needs a sandwich), Madonna at one point...and it's like really? They may be cute but there's a difference between being cute and being beautiful and drop-dead gorgeous. Madonna could never rival Elizabeth Taylor or Sophia Loren in their prime. Loren is damn-near 80 and still looks better than Ciccone. Jolie has nothing on Raquel Welch. Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, Britney...they're just all average. You can find people in the street that are more appealing.

^ I don't know why I thought Megan Fox was hot for a minute. Quickly got off that ship. Angelina was fine in her younger days but the Brad Pitt/human rights Jolie lost a lot of charm and with that, the attractiveness. The Oscar red carpet appearance only added to her downfall.

She could have been at Beyonce's status but IDK. But I HATE when I hear people say, "If Aaliyah was alive, Beyonce wouldn't be as big." That doesn't even make any sense. They were two totally different artists.

And Beyonce is gorgeous to me.

I don't think Aaliyah had the stamina & drive to rival Beyonce to be honest. Just look at the break she took in-between albums. She waited a full 5 years to come back in 2001. And she was busy with movies. She had Romeo Must Die, Queen of the Damned, the Matrix, and Sparkle lined up for her. Who knows when her 4th record was gonna be released. She didn't have the same people around her that was willing and determined to do whatever and grab at whatever opportunity to get her name out there. Her family's more mellow and laid back.

Before she died, Aaliyah had talked about doing more movies. She was in line to do "The Matrix" when she died. Marvin's daughter Nona took her spot.

I always find this discussion so silly. It's doubtful Aaliyah would have been as popular as Beyonce is. So what? For my money, Beyonce is still light years behind Aaliyah in every way (music, acting, etc.). Aaliyah's worst album (her debut) is better than Beyonce's best.

I think if she was still alive she would be a bigger actress than Beyonce. She obviously had more on-screen presence and was more talented in that arena. (though that's not saying much considering the alternative)

But as far as music and the endorsement deals, perfume, fashion, and general whoring of the mass-market? No, I don't think so.

I know I'm gay or whatever, but I know an attractive woman when I see one. And I never understood the Megan Fox craze. Just another example of how the media tries to jam slightly above-average white women down our throats. Angelina Jolie? Please. When my grandmother was young she knocked all these bitches out the water. lol I could show you guys a picture of her at 16 that rivaled Halle Berry. cool

I'm sorry Timbaland, but Aaliyah wasn't the first one to be doing anything. Janet Jackson did what Aaliyah was doing when Aaliyah was still in her diapers.

But I do like Aaliyah, her music is far superior than Beyonce's music; which is average. Beyonce is over-rated; and if her status is so high, why did her last album sink like the Titanic?

Ive said this many many many many times about about Kelly Rowland. Okay Ill admit Kelly has always been my favorite overall in DC. I thought she was the best singer and I thought she was the prettiest. Kelly was ALWAYS the most attractive and the ONLY reason why she was not pushed as the most attractive was because of her skin complexion (darker complexion) and because the group centered around Beyonce.

Back in the Janet thread, I had already said and KCOOL made the point as well Janet looks wayy better than those youngins TO ME that is judged off their NATURAL BEAUTY because lets be honest, we can sit up here all day calling someone with a bunch of cake on their face gorgeous. I mean I bet someone would look gorgeous if they had alot of makeup on everytime they stepped out the house but this goes for anybody

Alicia Keys is very attractive still without makeup. Always thought Gabrielle, Naomi, Jada these are all women who are naturally attractive... good list

Elizabeth... gorgeous and I dont think anyone rivals her type of rare beauty.

Angelina, is skinny but she is attractive. I think Angelina is beautiful Ive seen picks of her without makeup when she was young. Her look for a white woman is kinda rare as far as her features in her face.

To me, when you have to be extra it's a sign that you're not all that to begin with. It's always the same thing with Bey. Hiding behind an 80 lb weave. 14 years and I don't think I've ever seen her natural hair...at an award show, out promoting, in a video...nothing. When is she gonna do somethin different? Why not rock a short-cut like Kelly or an old Halle pixie-cut? Could it be because she can't?

And Angelina is very pretty. I should have left her off. It just bothers me that she's such a toothpick now. She needs a cheeseburger.

I loved Aaliyah, but also remember her album was dropping although I think her albums were bigger on the r&b/hip hop charts than the Billboard 200 anyway to begin with. She was a household name with soundtrack singles Are You That Somebody and Try Again/Romeo Must Die from what I remember, so if she kept going, I think she would have had greater success at some point, if not with the self-titled album, in the mid 00's around the time Usher, Beyonce and Rihanna did. I also agree Beyonce is more pop and Aaliyah was more hip hop/street. Both are also different type of performers onstage and do it really well, so I agree with those of you saying it's unfair to compare the two in that sense.

Which brings me to Brandy. She was much bigger than Aaliyah mainstream-wise, and also released strong and underrated albums Full Moon and Afrodisiac, though the numbers were not high, so it's hard to say whether Aaliyah would have followed the same path or not. Brandy had vocals in her favour, and Aaliyah had the image, dancing, pretty voice though not as strong as Brandy's yet soothing and soulful.

I totally agree with U. Not just because U mentioned my name. The key is what u look like without make up & hair. Kelly has always been my favorite out of DC to. To this day I think she slays Beyonce with or without make up. U right its her skin tone is why they ignore her beauty.

Beyonce everytime she leaves out, she is always made up from head to toe. Even when she is lying on the beach.She is unrecognizable when she takes that lacefront off and the make up. She is average at best.She just looks like an average liteskin chick. But the key with her is confidence. U can't tell her she is not the most beautiful women in the world. biggrin

Janet has been seen hundreds of times with no make up & she slays all of them. She looks even younger without it. She really doesn't even need make up to make her beautiful or make her look younger. She is a natural beauty. So is Aaliyah. But Aaliyah was just coming into her own when she died. She was just turning into a woman. Her "Rock The Boat" Video showcased her beauty as a woman the most. The last video she made before she died.

Jada is also a natural beauty that can go out with no make up & her skin is flawless. No blemishes whatsoever. Her natural beauty is what got her noticed. But she has the talent to back it up. She looks amazing even after having two children.

Angelina Jolie. Who I have seen in person close up. Is also a natural beauty, that doesn't need a lot of make up. But she is a toothpick.She was pregnant when I saw her to & nobody knew it yet. Her body is a broom stick.

With the right make up & hair people, they can make anybody beautiful. But don't wake up in the bed next to them in the morning. They will scare U have to death. When they take all of that off. biggrin Except for Janet,Jada,Kelly & the late Aaliyah. All natural beauties..

Jada.......

Anyways I agree Kelly is gorgeous and I've heard that at one point she was more popular than Beyonce outside of the US, I do believe that. Her duet with Nelly has stood the test of time, and some singles she dropped in 2007 rivaled Beyonce's IMO and should have charted high, but they didn't. I believe she was set up so Beyonce could get ahead of her, like with bad timing and all. Don't get me wrong, I like Beyonce a lot and enjoy B'Day and Sasha Fierce and was impressed with those tours when I attended, but I really get sick of her if I see too much of her until she does something different and think she acts ditzy in interviews compared to her DC days. Oh and Letoya Luckett was my favourite DC member when they debuted.

I know I'm gay or whatever, but I know an attractive woman when I see one. And I never understood the Megan Fox craze. Just another example of how the media tries to jam slightly above-average white women down our throats. Angelina Jolie? Please. When my grandmother was young she knocked all these bitches out the water. lol I could show you guys a picture of her at 16 that rivaled Halle Berry. cool

I'm with you about Megan Fox, but Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman. She's really not slightly above average. So is Halle Berry. Hall Berry is beautiful.

Jessica Alba is also someone who is flawless w/out makeup. It still boggles my mind that she is not half black

re classic hollywood, yes, liz taylor was gorgeous, but don't forget ava gardner
