Its so sad not only to watch Aaliyah during the last few days of her life, but its also sad to see her introducing us to her crew such as Chris Maldonado and Eric Forman who also died in the crash. Then to see everyone who died that day walking toward the boat. Its so crazy that probably less than 45 minutes later, most of them were dead or clinging to life. Knowing that this is all of their last few days on Earth is so heartbreaking! R.I.P. to Aaliyah, Chris, Eric, and everyone else who died in the crash! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. No guarantees in life. Thankful we got to know Aaliyah and enjoy her talent and gifts she shared with the world. To her crew that worked effortlessly to make sure everything was on cue. God bless them all. Rip.😍😘💝💝💝
I think this is a pretty great quality for RU-vid. The problem is RU-vid and the fact that it takes stuff down a generation or two when it is published. I have a producer's copy and I will see if I post it if it comes out any clearer :)
I gotta keep reminding myself that, cause that's true itself...you tube has took down many great Aaliyah videos over the years. Which sucks, but if you ever upload a producers version just know I'm humbled and appreciate it dearly, but if not due to this site, that's totally fine, grateful what's already here then!! God Bless.
There was absolutely no reason , considering the special effects were done using green screen and a pool, why this was done in the Bahamas. Could’ve easily been done in Miami and she would still be alive. Definitely think it was a conspiracy against her considering that we now know Hype Williams took the plane Lenny Kravitz sent for her to get home. Trifling!!!
Exactly. To think that after 20 some years of Aaliyah passing away hype Williams hasn't even commented on anything that anyone has said that's a little bit funky to me something doesn't smell right if you know what I mean.
It's so eerie to think that these young people had absolutely no clue they were experiencing their final moments on this earth. Awful how life can just end so tragically and it can happen to any of us.
I get chills anytime I see the footage at the end where they are filming the scenes on the boat and it shows the date of August 25 2001. Rest in peace Angels. God Bless.
I know I was thinking the same thing, its mostly green screen but soooooooo sad, I was 19 when she passed and remember hearing it on the radio at like midnight, I prayed that it wasnt true
Feel sorry for anyone not born early enough to witness this in real time. . Aaliyah had such great energy. She was everything. I remember watching this on BET back in the day. It's so surreal watching this today...she had no idea these would be her last days.
Aaliyah would have been a mega star. Multiple film roles. Maybe on her 8th studio album. A host of Grammy, American music awards, MTV awards, Emmys. A fashion line with a major fashion house backing her or her own fashion empire. A philanthropist. Possibly by now about two or three kids. Maybe married. Life can sometimes be unfair. RIP Aaliyah. You'll never be forgotten. ❤
Definitely. Right up there with Beyonce. In my opinion, probably bigger. Aaliyah was one of a kind. Beautiful,kind soul. 'll never forget that day she died. 😢.
**Aaliyah has been gone 20 Years** and these chicks that are left, STILL CANNOT TOUCH HER VIBE! She NEVER had to be naked or twerking to gain attention; THERE IS ONLY 1. Aaliyah made baggy clothes Sexy & Cool!❤🙏🏽🕊**1979-2001-2021** #LEGACY💃🏽
Yeah or touching their crotches then smelling their fingers. Look at the one married to jz, bouncey, its all about tits, ass, pussy and satan she's such a hog, listen to the lyrics in her new songs, she should have her daughter sing the disgustingness
She was beautiful she was the closest thing to perfect on this mest up planet. She was Aaliyah . The most beautiful human being.she was humble honest and full of life I and deeply saddened that she died so young and I will never be able to morn with the fast that she is gone. You are forever missed baby girl ( great now I am crying). I will miss you even though you died before I was born you mean so much to a 13 year old and I will continue to spread your name and how awesome you and your music was. I love you I miss Aaliyah. I can not describe how much my heart aches. I can't even find words to describe how beautiful and perfect you are. I see you as a full on entertainer. Rest in heaven sweet Aaliyah the world misses you so much you are gone but never forgotten. Happy birthday. Aaliyah would be 39 today
I know exactly how you feel because I wasn't born yet either. She died in 2001 and I was born in 2002. I love your tribute to her, very sweet and don't worry, she is with angels.🙂
20 years later and her music is just as timeless and classic. She was a singer and actress ahead of her time. Her crew seemed so fun! May they all continue to R.I.P.
O my god girl why you had to say it like that? Shit just made the hairs on my neck stand up!!! Lol dam that shit fucked up what happened to all of them.... they having the best day not knowing it would their last 😞😞😞😞
@@mrhitz7060 by being in a world where evil do exist and fame have them jealous cuz somebody smile in your face that don't mean they like you what people do for money root of evil I get a odd feeling bout this situation n others 😞💛
@@mk3489 you do have a point. Ppl will pretend to have good intentions & secretly stab you in your back. Im just saying ppl don't really know when there die, unless your really bringing bad intentions into the universe. It all energy. Her soul was as pure as gold.
I miss her so damn much, its a tragedy. she was really talented, she was intelligent, beautiful, funny and just awesome. its heartbreaking to see her last moments. she is a role model and her voice sounds like angels singing. rest in peace to the only one! to the most beautiful and adorable personon this planet. rest in peace baby girl Aaliyah. you're gone but never forgotten. 1979 - 2001
Watching this video made me realize how serious life is. You can have all the fame but you can't escape death when it comes to you. It's the after life is what scares me either heaven or hell🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾
She looks like she’s a blessing to work with. There’s no one that CAN ever take the place of ALIYAH! She was so unique and even then she was beyond her sound. Beautiful black woman xx
Watching this on the 20th anniversary of her passing. It's so heart breaking seeing her so full of life, knowing what happened right after. 💔 I wish she and her crew & friends still could have been kicking it today. 🕊️
Hype didn’t have to go to an island for part of the video. It was all greed for him to get another day. They were already in FL where there is pretty beaches and their set was dope already. She would still be here!!
Yes it hurt me so bad😭😭😭😭😭😭 I was crying, I was upset and crying that Aaliyah had pass they told her don't get on this airplane because airplane is dangerous, terrible horrible worse awful, Aaliyah she should kept alive, if Aaliyah was still Living alive, she should stay alive Long Time.

That day she passed was such an eerie day for all of us. I was in high school when that tragic day hit us all. May she and the others rest in heavenly peace
So sad to think she was so happy at this point in her life and on top of her career. She would’ve done so many more albums and great music and collaborations with Beyoncé and others. She was so beautiful inside and out and really appreciated people who worked for her. Then in the blink of an eye it was all over. Just unbelievable. Rest easy our beautiful angel Aaliyah 🙏🏽🕊💙
@rhianna jones That's because u got unclean spirits in u that obstruct your brain to see truth. That is why People of God and people of Satan will never understand eachother.
@rhianna jones She was killed. J Z wanted her but couldn't get her so she was his sacrifice. That is a fact. Byonce is talentless. She invokes demons to help her sing. Said it herself. As 4 u. Repent or u will end up in hell.
Exactly, or why they didn't wait to get the plane they originally scheduled for the following day. Imagine finishing your job early and still having 24 hours in a place like the Bahamas.. she should've just hung out there.. But they wanted to come back earlier in that tiny little plane instead 😪 crazy how just one decision can impact life in such a huge way.. like sliding doors but with a plane (and not a train)..
it makes me really sad to watch this part knowing that in only a few hours they would no longer be here. Bless their souls they are in a much better place. R.I.P
Amya Lambert Damon setup a more than a woman remix with his producers in Miami freeway and just blaze. Freeway said Damon set all of that up . They were waiting on her to get to the studio that night that's why she left. That fool couldn't wait until she got back. Her parents won the lawsuit against virgin, hype Williams and others. Hype or his staff rented that plane cause they was to cheap to get her a better one. He had already had bigger and better planes set for them all like they came on to leave sunday but that fool Damon had her leaving to get to the remix.
Very true! They mostly using green screens anyways, there was only a few shots that actually had bohemian waters in the background and they could of faked that in Florida!
@@Page57 just because she went, it doesn’t mean it was her time to go… it’s been plenty of ppl taken from this world out of nowhere and for no apparent reason sometimes.
So sad knowing that they were just a few hours from this being their last moments on earth, then a few weeks later 9/11 happened. Lots of deaths caused by planes in such a short period of time. Took me years to be able to get on a plane after 2001.
Stories like Aaliyah tragic death are the reasons I only fly commercial and will never fly a private plane or a helicopter. Flying scares me in general but small planes and helicopters are terrifying
They were already doing CG what real reason was it to go to the island? The whole video could have been shot in Miami or California smh. They wrong for that 😿🙌🏽
I don't think it's about hating the people I dislike a video if it hurts me .RU-vid doesn't have any other emojis to use hence people just use the dislike button most times to express sadness or hurt
You should see psychic readings on her. Most of the readings say that it was a set up and that there were 2 men in the label who had planned her death. The label didn’t like that Aaliyah was going more into film, and felt like she was going to abandon music for film. Apparently, they felt like her taking more control of her career was threatening to them. It’s terrible.
Don't come For me No. I haven’t heard that. They say that she was pregnant. She was expecting to have a son from Damon Dash. But, also when she started with R.Kelley, she had a pregnancy scare. And there are hints that she might have lost her baby or had an abortion from her relationship with R.Kelley.
Don't come For me I’m not sure how accurate the readings are. I mean, none of us really know what happened (unless we were there), but I do personally feel that she was set up. What a coincidence, that she was becoming famous as an actress and experimenting with her image, and all of a sudden she dies in this tiny plane. Why couldn’t the label fly her in a bigger plane that would handle the weight of the equipment? Geez, I wonder... 🤔
@@dontcomeforme6387 Sorry but this Angel is no longer with us ...on Earth...that is....Spiritual readers have confirmed this for me... I don't think you understand..Those demons spill blood out here for REAL in that demonic "industry"... Especially black folks blood because it's powerful and Aaliyah was " More than a human" okay??They needed the Power.. Trust and believe... That woman is nowhere in this realm and that's exactly where she needs to be! Spirit told me she ascended and got her wings and has a high place in heaven!However I do believe there was much mystery surrounding her murder.. I believe she was killed beforehand.. And a clone was on that plane.
interesting not that much footage is shown in this of the last footage they shot which was on the boat, id love to see behind the scenes of that footage, because i am not sure if its done on purpose but in the actual video, you barely see aaliyah's face in that footage, i guess because it was the last thing they shot.......
jeminijemini1 I think this was the innocent part ... and they left after and went to the Bahamas. I believe she was treated bad there and was ready to leave. due to the conditions
Because that's most likely NOT her on that boat...I believe it was a double or clone or something..And I've watched that scene a dozen times trying to clearly see the face and I can't see it clearly but what I can see looks very off....My theory.... Aaliyah was already dead at this point..of some sick ritual...And the clone was on the plane..not the real person.....That person on the boat is also a little bit thinner than in the other shots....Aaliyah was getting thick at that point in her life ...So I really don't think that was her at all.....But that's just all my theory...It's just all really weird and mysterious and I honestly don't like watching "Rock the Boat at all."..It gives me a very eery vibe.
@@tonnymitch4016 It sounds crazy put that way, but a lot of artists have body doubles if it’s not absolutely necessary their face be shown. I don’t think she had one though.
I heard Hype Williams took the private jet Lenny Kravitz sent for Aaliyah with his selfish self... then he made Aaliyah take the small plane that ended up crashing. Hype Williams should be ashamed of himself. 💔
I remember finding out from my sister before we went to church. I was just as shocked then as I am now. And then 9/11 happens a couple weeks later. The world really did changed after Aaliyah passed. So heart aching to watch, especially the last 2 minutes. R.I.P to all who perished 🥀
I have never seen this before even though it’s been posted 9 years. Chris Maldonado, the makeup artist shown at the beginning, also perished in the crash and I believe the hairstylist, Eric too 🙏🏽
I agree just looking at this footage but knowingly in just a few days after the video was done that most of Aaliyah crew died with her. Damn just really sad knowing that even happened.
i couldn't even allow myself to watch this... 😢 way too painful. 😢 even though, i know Aaliyah would have wanted me to watch it again, i just couldn't. i got chills before i even pressed play. i can't believe it's been 12 years since her passing. it just seems so unreal.
22 years. Just heartbreaking that she’s been gone the same time she lived. May Babygirl continue to rest in peace as well as the crew that died with her.
This is genuinely so haunting to watch. Aaliyah herself isn't haunting at all, but everything we are seeing here in this video contains her last memories on this earth. That last clip where they're leaving gives me chills down my spine. Im glad this was recorded though, its almost like a miracle for her fans to have just one last memory of her in real time.
....why did they have to go to the Bahamas if they filmed with green screen and a pool anyway? They could've added some sand and those people would've been a loved today
This looks like a music video that could’ve been produced this year. It really blows my mind how ahead of her time she was. I always say that. But it really is like WOW. ❤️❤️beautiful young lady gone too soon, all of them. 😩🙏🏻
Everything she did was truly ahead of it’s time and until this day there’s never been another artist who could produce this magic on screen and sorry not even Beyoncé
Where was her brother cause Aaliyah never traveled without him... the set up was real here and they took our angel away from us to soon. Miss you babygirl ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aaliyah had this gift of making you feel like you knew her through her music and every time I watch this access granted on her I get teary eyed thinking of the fact that she lost her life after filming this music video. It hurts because it felt like losing a sister or cousin or friend not many celebrities make me feel that way that was what made her stand out to me. RIP Aaliyah gone but never forgotten.
He absolutely did. I knew Eric and Anthony and they both looooved Aaliyah.....They didnt gawk over her like fans but like big brothers....Sad what happened but I know Eric and Anthony were holding on to her in their final moments. When they were discovered Anthony was still clinging to life, medics were trying to help him but he pleaded with them to save Aaliyah......
@@BixbyLBC Eric and Tony were like Blood Brothers. They had a bond like no other and were devoted to Aaliyah. They alongside Scotty “Teddy Boo” Gallin were pulled from the wreckage, all three men were asking about Aaliyah’s safety and whereabouts. They all died soon after. They ALL loved her. Especially Scotty.
Aaliyah was a great role model/inspirational person to us all. At the end of the day, Aaliyah said it was all worth it. Because it made her happy to work hard and make her fans. Proud/happy of her. Aaliyah was right, us fans are very proud and happy. For what she than accomplished within her life, before she passed away.
I still cannot watch the video Rock the boat I don't like it......fucks with me mentally she is not supposed to be gone so soon her birthday is coming up soon.....she will be 40 if I'm not mistaken.
If Aaliyah was on a better label she would still be here ! Fucking cheap ass label!!! If they would’ve gotten her a better plane she would still be here ! Fucking sad man her uncle is a piece of shit and I blame him for her death and the others that were with her
Everytime I watch this I get teary eyed She was such an inspiration not only to young females but to guys too she was such an angel on earth and so sweet and kind and humble at an young age i truly miss her. She will never be forgotten I have her name tatted on my chest I love u Aaliyah rest easy babe #foreverafan #legend
The fact that Am watching this and knowing that she died the next day or few days after that got me chills in all over my body really sad but god had another plan for her love you queen 👸 💜!
I was 15 when she passed and i remember i was crying! I heard about it on 106 and Park and just praying it wasnt true. Still to this day! I cant believe it im 34 and still just like she cant be gone i love her so much!! RIP Aaliyah i love u
@Kimberly Womack I don’t think she knew she was going to die but i think she was uncomfortable about getting on that plane I don’t think she knew the result of her getting on that plane would be her death 💀 but she should have listened to her intuition and not of gotten on that plane.
