Hmm, I don't know about that. Of course she wanted her daughter back, but that couldn't happen. I do think it provides some level of comfort in that moment to see that she was loved by so many.
Yeah in July A.J McClean from boy band Backstreet Boys went to rehab. Then Aaliyah died in August & then 9/11. I hated 2001! I turned 14yes old 2wks after 9/11.
This brought me to tears. I will never forget the day she died. It was so sad. I was playing outside & my older brother called me in the house & told me that she had passed. I thought he was joking cause he use to joke a lot, until he showed me on TV. He knew I loved Aaliyah. I cried that night going to sleep. Aaliyah's One In A Million album was the 1st album I ever owned. RIP Aaliyah / Baby Girl 💜
Nina Rosa I was 11 when she died. I was doing laundry, and my cousin came to me and told she died. I didn’t believe it, cause all my family knew I loved her. She told me to go and check on the news, and then there it goes. I was in pale pain. I’m still sad that she’s gone.
Loonyloonylovegoods No from what I read kidney failure. But I believe if Aaliyah had lived & with the blessing of money she had her father would be still here as well. They would've found the right doctors to have saved him. I am heartbroken still to hear that he passed. He should still be here. I wish he would've seen Aaliyah blossom & have children.
I am glad her legend was never tarnished with bad behavior or drugs. She always carried herself with class and dignity. And yes, I'm gonna say it. I LOVED QUEEN OF THE DAMNED! I still listen to her music. The doves was a beautiful touch. May her soul be at rest knowing she created a musical legacy that will endour time.
calaragazza ***** Y'all are arguing like you know her personally... Who really cares what her sexual orientation was or whether or not she was in love or married to R. Kelly... That's her business. At the end of the day the only people who REALLY know what happened in Aaliyah's life is her and the ones close to her.. Besides all your sources of information are either provided by tabloids or the internet & we all know those are edited and exaggerated for a better story. Smh
@calaragazza Does that change the fact that he still is a pedophile??? And there is multiple video evidence of him sleeping with children between the ages of 12-17???
I remember this like it was yesterday....man I was distraught as a child when I heard on the radio she passed. idk why but I had a strong emotional connect with her and her music. losing her felt like losing an older sibling. Such an inspiration...
It's irritating the way those fans were screaming like it was a red carpet event. "Oooh, IT'S USHER! IT'S MONICA! IT'S BUSTA RHYMES! IT'S GENUINE! IT'S MISSY ELLIOTT!" Some people have no respect, whatsoever. Zero! So sad (smh).
actually if y'all payed close attention to the video u actually hear her fans crying out loud n screaming no becuz they didn't wanna believe that someone so young beautiful and talented n someone who inspired them is gone
Daria Nosdrahcir you need to shut up I know it's a funeral and all but wouldn't u b screaming if u had the chance to go up to Aaliyah casket I show would've
Kerisa Wiley, no, I wouldn't be screaming like a crazed fan at a concert...because it's not a concert, it's a funeral. Out of respect for her loved ones I would act like I had some fucking sense.
life can be so fucked up sometimes... when good people die and you just wonder what did they do to deserve death. i'm 21 years old. i can't imagine dying next year. that is such a short life. she really did do a LOT for her age!! she was a BABY.
I remember this day like it was yesterday, I couldn't stop crying, I was in shock...I still am. God must've had bigger and better plans for her...well, that's what I choose to believe anyways. R.I.Paradise Aaliyah
Angela Young Yes he does and I believe in heart that she was a truly star at such a young age as I watch her funeral I was crying along with them and still today in 2016 15 years later she will always will be a truly amazing Angel no doubt about it
I always watch her videos, documentaries and interviews on RU-vid all the time to see her Beautiful smile.She will Forever be Remembered and Loved. Miss u Aaliyah❤
I remember I flew to NY the same day of the plane crash and found out the next day on tv. I was in total disbelief and just upset that such a great life could be cut so short and tragically. I really wanted to go to the funeral but I couldn't make it I was only 11 at the time. I wish Rashad and Diane all the best, I can't imagine a day passing without them thinking of her.
This is still breaks my heart I will never get over BabyGirl. Aaliyah was all the R&B music industry and much more what a loss. She is irreplaceable rest in heaven Queen of R&B
So heartbreaking. I remember having to keep my young daughter out of school cuz she was so shaken up at the loss of her role model. Odd how life's cycle is. My mom had to keep me out of school when Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham died. I thought my world had come to a dead end. My heart and soul was grief stricken. RIP Baby Girl...
rest peacefully AALIYAH! we may have lost you physically but we will ALWAYS have you in our hearts forever and your music will always live on forever! love you!
Watching this still takes my breath away.. It's like even though it was 14yrs ago it feels like it was literally just yesterday.. My heart gets so sad when I see anything having to do with Aaliyah because on a sunny day in August in the Bahamas all those years ago an angel got her wings but left the rest of us with a void.. Death is never easy but it's inevitable so embrace every moment of life and let it count for something..
I hate that I couldn't stand outside the funeral home with the rest of her fans. I was just a poor 19 year old college freshman and couldn't afford to fly out to NYC. I miss her so much. She is still 1 of my favorite celebrities.
RIP Babygirl....today's female artists (including Beyoncé and Rihanna) could NEVER, EVER comes close to your talent!!! Prayers for your departed soul...
Really?? I heard Destiny’s Child,Monica and Brandy was still outdoing her even when she was alive.Yes she was a talented artist.But you don’t gotta just say anything just outta respect.Not trying to sound harsh.
I will never forget the day I found out she died. I was about 13 yrs old at my grandma's house on the phone watching tv. There was breaking news and her face came across the screen. I wasn't really paying attention until I realized her face was "on the news". I read what was underneath her face and it said she died in a plane crash. I was a die hard Aaliyah fan so I was feeling everything. I was in shock, sad, confused, etc, etc.
So heartbreaking. I still remember hearing about her death on the news and all I could do was cry. I have followed Aaliyah since she was 15. Her and Ginuwine were best friends. I just love her 13 years later. It's such a blessing that the Lord seen fit to grace us with such a humble you women who set the world on fire and was about to become an even bigger artist/superstar. May you Rip..Princess of Urban R&B there will never be another you. ONE IN A MILLION.
This moment of loosing this icon and legend changed my life. She came here lived, loved, dreamed, shared and fulfilled her purpose. She was a timeless beauty and soul inside and out. She went through a lot and remain humble. Keep her Legacy alive y'all.... #InspiringAaliyahNeverForget
Aaliyah Died August 25 2001 Lisa left Eye lopez Died April 25 2002 James Brown Died December 25 2006 Michael Jackson Died June 25th 2009 Whitney Houston Died February 11 2012 Prince Roger Died April 21 2016
I remember where I was when I heard about the plane crash, and where I was when I watched this on the news...I felt like I lost a friend and sometimes when I really think about what she was to me I still do. She truly inspired. It really takes a special person to create that kind of connection with someone they have never met. I remember that I wanted to be like her in the simplest ways. Undeniably beautiful and deeply loved. She's still worth looking up to even though I've already outlived her. I wish her Mom and Brother the best. I hope they're well...
She was the first celebrity I cry about usely when I hear a celebrity passed I be shocked I really feeled like I knew aaliyah it really hurted me I looked up to her she passed a day after my son was born ill never forget that
Brought tears to my eyes seeing how distraught the celebrities she knew and worked with were. She will never be forgotten. She was so talented and beautiful. May she continue to bless the heavens above with her sweet melodies.

The world gifted us the most talented and beautiful girl ever, i feel proud to be part of the 2001 era and have listened Aaliyah's music when i was on the secondary school and watch this brokes my heart on little pieces
Rest In Paradise My Angel. Babygirl you are gone but not and never will be forgotten your legacy lives on forever and always will..Rest in Paradise My Sweet Angel...
I was sitting in my friend's house, we just finished making a dance..so we turned on the radio cant remember what was playing, then it got quiet and then thats when we heard crying and they said she died......she was the third star I cried my eyes for...so sad, such a beautiful person and amazing artist. Rip babygirl
So much love, support, and grief from the Hip-Hop community. It shows how amazing of a person she truly was. They all loved her. I see Ananda Lewis, Fonzworth Bentley, Nicole Wray, Mya, P Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Spliff, Mike Tyson, Patti Labelle, Usher, Tank, Monica, Ginuwine, Missy and Tim of course, the Blackground family.
Cried so much inside while this happened. What A terrible 4th quarter of A year. First this than 9/11. 2001 was A terrible year. She was the epitome of genuine charm, elegance and beauty.
I didn't know Aaliyah personally but as a huge fan my heart was completely broken when she died, still remember it like yesterday, hard to believe its been 14 years since she passed comes aug 25, 2015 and I still miss her, her lovely voice, smooth effortless dancing and what a beautiful person she was and I often time wonder where she'd be today if she was still here
Aaliyah was a unique person and a special person that would never be forgotten is just sad how her life was taken away so so young at only 22 years old rest in peace Aaliyah Love always, your music and intelligence and your beautiful voice will never be forgotten.
I wish there was footage of the service! Was curious to see everyone speaking and sharing their memories of her. But I guess the family wanted to keep it personal.
Алия детка!😔 Скоро 20 лет, как ты ушла. Как жаль, что так рано.😭 Много песен тобой не спето. Ты всегда была моим кумиром и останешься навсегда. Твои песни по прежнему в моем плей-листе. Покойся с миром! Вечная память!😭 Помню, люблю, скучаю!! 🙏❤ P.s Теперь вы с Dmx на небесах.
I'm just a fan...A mega fan...but it still hurts my soul that she died and suffered in her final moments. SMH. Growing up I had 3 celebrities I wanted to meet/watch them live: Aaliyah. Princess Di. Luther Vandross. 3 of the most humble, beautiful, talented, people (to me) to ever leave this world.
Had I gone to her funeral I would’ve broken down crying so hard . She was just in the prime of her life . So beautiful inside and out . My heart broke into a thousand peices when she passed . Aaliyah we Love you we’ll see you When we get there
