That whole album is perfection.

Rare interviews about her final album - they are only a few seconds long

One of the absolute best of the '90s and still the best thing Timbaland has ever done.

AlexdeParis said:

In total agreement on both counts.

I remember going crazy
about "Back & Forth"
when she first come out
(reminds me of the skating rink)
back when cassette singles
were all the rave

I remember when "At Your Best" dropped
and NOT believing it was Aaliyah...

I remember the "One In A Million" video
and how everyone wanted to know
the moves to the duet/dance

same with "4 Page Letter"...

I can remember being so
disappointed/embarassed in/for Aaliyah
during a performance of "One In A Million"
on Showtime At The Apollo
she's truly one of the last of
a DEAD breed... she actually SANG & PERFORMED
at the same time... as opposed to lip syncing
she sounded horrible, but MAD PROPS
because she sang live...

I remember pulling my car over
on a traffic circle at first
listen of "Are You That Somebody"
on the radio... I couldn't believe
how HOT that song was...
totally impaired my driving abilities
for about 4 minutes...

I remember the day her last studio album came out
Foxy Brown's Broken Silence came out the same day
and unfortunately I couldn't buy but one
which was Broken Silence...

I also remember a suicidal episode
hearing her "Rock The Boat"
over & over again
I musta had it on repeat
that song & Mary J. Blige's
"Keep Your Head" helped to save my life

Aaliyah was no powerhouse
but I truly adored the tom-boyish
swagger her & girls like Mary, Faith, Monica
brought to female R&B
and I love the stuff she
did with Timbaland & Missy especially

Considering her tragic fate, that outro of the One In A Million album is quite eerie in a foreshadowing way.

I agree with all said.
Are you that somebody took over, I remember I use to sing the lyrics all wrong but it was constantly in my head. Aaliyah was for sure one of the last of a dying breed.

She wasnt just a Janet rip off, she had her own style, her own sound etc. I miss her terribly.

AMEN!!!

such a tragic ending for a beautiful and talented girl sometimes i wonder what great songs she would have made if she were still alive it does make me mad when they compare ashanti to her there is no comparison ashanti can't sing or dance in my opinion

PurpleJedi said:

i always said if i had a girl, i would name her aaliyah it's a pretty name that actually has meaning(highly exalted), not like something like aquanetta
