@@SoundBiteInc- they were good friends for a short period of time, janet met Aaliyah in 1998, considering she said here that she first spoke with Aaliyah after her grandmother passed, that was in 98. Aaliyah said she hung out with janet numerous times, and they both expressed love for each other. Aaliyah said janet was one of her biggest inspirations and attended her MTV Icon event, janet said in interviews how much she loved Aaliyah and her music way before her death, they were also planning on making a collaboration together.
I love how Aaliyah brother also paid a tribute to the other 8 passengers who also passed away. Respect for that. RIP to everyone who died on that plane including the pilot
Aaliyah and Selena Quintanilla reminds me so much of each other and have the same impact on there fans.. they both just had the it about them... I love n miss them both.
+Alfred Salinas Me too! You can easily tell how sweet both of them were & how down to earth they both were. Not to mention they were both just cute & beautiful..May they both RIP, taken way too soon :(
@@nunyabizniss3131truth right there. I was in a club. 1 minute I'm dancing and the next I get this weird feeling like something wasn't right. I went out to the deck looking south on the river (we were on a waterfront). I go inside to get a drink just in time to hear she'd died. I thought it was a joke at first but when it kept circulating even into the next day I knew it was true. She was set up. Mary J Blige even said so.
@@OFFICIAL.LEWISVEVO yes that was before they met! But they did infact meet before her death! Another artist Aaliyah really liked was sade and they never met
I remember when I was 9 years old the day when I saw her in the street in Paris in July 2001, I said "aaliyaaaaaah" and she said " hiiiiii" with a big smile on her face, there was like 10 meters between her and me I was so happy I was and still a big fan of her personality and songs, lose her was like lose a member of my family it was so hard to know that she won't be in person on this earth, but I'm really thankful to be born in 1992 to know all these good songs and seen her in the street, RIP
@@deed2157 when i saw her in the street, i noticed that she had no bodyguard with her, so i knew this day she wasn't in the street for work but only have fun, and my mom wouldn't let me run in the street to hug her 😂😂😂
Hol M in addition the pilot had substances found in his body and apparently he had some issues with his flying license so it was just a horribly unfortunate situation all around.
I remember when Aaliyah passed she had my mom crying and I didn’t even know my mom was a fan. I was shocked when it showed on the news. I was in the 9th grade when it happened. Everyone was talking about it the WHOLE SUMMER. she touched a lot of people
Things would never be the same without Aaliyah again because she is the most beautiful singer in the entertainment industry and now she's gone soon now and I'm so heart broken right it feels like I'm gonna cry right now.
I was 14 when she passed. It was a Saturday night. We were watching America's Most Wanted and during commercial break, the news broke that Aaliyah's plane had crashed but they didn't say she died. So I was hoping and praying that she was alright. I had to wait until the show went off for the news to come on at 10. When they said the crash was fatal, my heart dropped. I was so heartbroken and the next day was just gloomy and all the radio stations were playing her music. Me and my cousin were on the phone crying 😢 we couldn't believe our girl was gone. Smh
I don’t remember it being night. I’m like 50/50 it was in the day. I remember being on my bed. So if it was at night, it barely reached 8 because summertime it gets dark late. Or maybe since you were watching America’s Most Wanted it isn’t live, so you knew about it after the news broke live news? Idk. Either way, we all knew what we were doing and that tells a lot.
I was a little girl waking up on Saturday morning to my mom almost in tears telling me that Aaliyah died. Now both Aaliyah and my mom have passed away. 8.25.2001 and 12.20.2020. Life is something.
Even though I was little when Aaliyah died and I didn't get to experience her music fully, she's always had a hold on me...that feeling has never changed. 😢 Everyone on that plane should be with us today. RIP to all of you.
" and I thank God every chance i get " that just literally made me burst out to tears ! man aaliyah was SO humble ! God please rest her soul ! you are STILL missed babygirl. LOVE YOU
😥OMG, YES, that one in a million dollar smile...... She was so genuine. She wasn't phony, conceded, stuck up, or arrogant. AALIYAH was so authentic, so beautiful, and she gave 110% love to her family, friends, extended music family, & her fans. She was SPECIAL..... God is she missed.......We LOVE U Liyah!🧚♀️
her death had a big impact on everybody i can remember the mood change it felt like a good spirit had left this earth. It was very emotional still is till this day. We love you baby girl
I'm sure being up there and paying tribute to Aaliyah days after her passing was the most difficult thing Rashad, Missy, Timbaland and Ginuwine ever had to do. Janet is also a class act.
@@torturingsouls9635 Janet always spoke very highly of Aaliyah...never said anything negative about her no one did...yeah you said what you said but it still don't make sense.
I remember waking up early that morning and my mom and dad telling me and my sister; she was gone. My heart was torn. MTV kept playing it. I knew shit would never be the same. Aaliyah is forever 💓 🙌
I remember hearing about it like it was yesterday. The internet wasn't what it is today so we got all our news from MTV news. I remember them breaking the story & we were all in shock.
I had just dropped my son off to Respite and was on my way home in a taxi. The driver gave me the horrible news. At first I didn't get what he was saying bc you know you're not expecting to hear something like that. I'm like, what, Aaliyah who? Then I was like no way, and he was saying, "Its true, its true, just heard it on the radio." Immediately my mind went to my niece who at the time was a great fan of Aaliyah. As soon as I got home I call her Mom to give her the bad news but for some reason my niece didn't get the message til she read it in a newspaper or something. She took it so hard, poor thing. I was livid at her Mom for not getting the news to her in time. I didn't want her to find out from a paper. Anyways, miss you Babygirl. Rip💝
Alethea Ferrell Aww that smile. Did you see that smile? I swear AALIYAH and the late SELENA could light up the darkest dungeon with those smiles of theirs. Such sweet angels that left us too soon right along with Left Eye and all the rest. So many I couldn't list them all. Rip babygirl💝
Aaliyah´s brother Rashad was soo cute and touching. Ginuwine,Missy Eliott and Timbaland are saying beautiful and touching words about lost Angel Aaliyah
I’ll never forget when I went to see QOTD in theaters (obviously after she passed) and when the movie ended, the entire theatre stood up and gave her a standing ovation. 💔🙏 it was so emotional and beautiful to watch because everyone there was to see HER not just to watch the latest movie that was out. Her fans are loyal to this day 🙏💓
I remember seeing this...wow...this was the main thing I wanted to see that year...I love what Janet said. Can you imagine Janet and Aaliyah working together on a project? Just dynamite!
Kieran Pugh they were going to work together but They couldn't due to Scheduling conflicts of performances & Interview and They were supposed to Do "Nasty Remix 2000" also.
I am still haunted by what happened to her. I pray she didn't suffer in her last moments. She was a class act. NOBODY can ever match her unique talent.
She didn't wanna get on the plane, so she stayed behind in the vehicle they arrived in! Someone then came to check on her, gave her a sleeping pill, and then carried a sedated Aaliyah onto the plane! She had NO CLUE she was gonna meet the end
The way Aaliyah talked in her interviews always reminded me of the young Whitney Houston in the 80’s doing interviews. Very articulate and intelligent and soft spoken.
Its been 14 yrs. I was 14 going on 15. I just turn 29. Its still hard to believe she is gone. But thanks too some ppl in the music industry. She is able to live through them. To keep her spirit alive. The same too left eye and to the others we have lost to soon. U all will never be forgotten.
Aaliyah was a beautiful soul and so incredibly talented. Losing her still hurts even today. I still keep playing her music. There will never be another artist like Aaliyah. She was truly One in a Million. R.I.P. Aaliyah!
I remember that day, riding in the car with my parents, skimming through the local newspaper seeing the headline Aaliyah dies in plane crash. My heart sank, when I got home it was all over the news. One of the saddest day ever. Then 9/11 happened two weeks later. 😢
Aaliyah had she lived there would be no Beyonce. Let us b honest, Aaliyah was a true artist, singer, actress, stylist, trend setter, beautiful woman inside and out. More than Woman 😊❤ Aaliyah you are missed
I always said when I grow up I wanna be just like her. I use to wait for every video, song, commercial,movie,show whatever she was on I was glued to the TV. ... When she died I had just seen her giving away that Escalade on 106&park I cried so hard like I really knew her and said Damn music ain't gone be the same no more longliveAaliyah
I was 12 years old driving home from a day at the coast with my family when we all overheard the terrible news on the radio. Everyone in my family were Aaliyah fans so it broke all of our hearts. I remember crying in the back of the car as if she was kin to me, but she was in fact special and I adored her music. For the entire 2 1/2 hour ride home we were all silent in shock of what we'd heard. I remember my mother saying "this can be true, this can't have happened."' RIP Aaliyah, even 18 years later I still feel the same as I did laying in the back of that car leaving the coast.
"And...I am truly blessed. And I thank God for his blessings every single chance I get." That's important to do...see how Aaliyah is teaching us something? And what did she say we must do when facing disappointments or if we don't succeed? She said to "Try Again." And in the song "I Care 4 U" (beautiful song btw) what did she urge us all to do? "Press on, for me." And lastly, how did she tell us to move on the dance floor? In the words of Killer Mike on the Outkast track, "back, back, forth, forth." P.S. I'm always amazed at Aaliyah's brother. He shows such poise, grace, and a calm strength just like his sista. R.I.P Baby Girl you will never be forgotten...
Man, still can't believe Aaliyah is gone, I was born a month and 2 days before she died, so sad, I really wish Aaliyah was still here, she's my singing inspiration, such a beautiful talented young woman, RIP BabyGirl
I miss Aaliyah a lot. Still have trouble accepting that the crash happened. I'm now 27 and she died when she was 22...crazy. Such a short time really. Supposedly she had premonitions of her death too. "It is dark in my favorite dream. Someone is following me. I don't know why. I'm scared. Then suddenly I lift off. Far away. How do I feel? As if I am swimming in the air. Free. Weightless. Nobody can reach me. Nobody can touch me. It's a wonderful feeling." She was having a recurring dream...maybe even an out of body experience. I used to have some recurring dreams that were pretty catastrophic...but they stopped. Later on I got in a car crash...looked bad, but I came out with only a broken foot. Makes me wonder if my dream had anything to do with it.
Her passing was just such a tragedy. I'm 21 years old, & I can't even imagine what it would be like if next year I died. That's just way too young.. :(
I was 17 and it was my senior year in High School when I got the devastating news that my favorite singer EVER was gone! From that day until this one I don’t think I’ve ever hurt so much in my life! It felt like the wind was knocked out of me and a piece of me went with her! I miss her so much! My heart continues to go out to her beautiful family, true friends, and fans like us! I’m getting teary eyed now, I gotta go ✌🏾
I loved her but I think of her passing more because I was sitting there holding my infant son when the word of the crash came across the news. I held my son and remembered saying to myself that I was hurt for her mother. I couldn’t imagine her pain. Soon after that, my infant son Bryan Keyshaun Golden passed away. He was 2 months old on the day he left me. I then understood what it felt like to lose your world in a day. If not for God and my daughter who was 3 at the time, I would have been forever lost. I miss my son but I know he’s in a great place and so is “ baby girl”. Rest Peacefully to my son and to Aaliyah.
i was only a toddler when she died but my mom helped me gain much knowledge of Aaliyah. it’s insane how soon she died. imagine what she could have done with her talent up until now.....
I'm remember when I first found out... I was recording the music on the radio stopped for an important message to say there was a plane crash. R& B Princess Aaliyah is dead. I looked up to this woman... I have been rocking the swoop bangs since I first seen her. I loved everything about her growing up and as adult. Thanking God I was alive in the last of the greatest eras to witness life in its moments.... I'm not crying you are.... I need a time machine!!
I had the Vibe Magazine with her on the cover when i found out. Cried. Then sept 11 happened. Felt like the world was crumbling around me. Dark times..
I remember running to my grandparents room (they don’t speak English but they knew she was my favorite) & I went in there crying & turned on MTV news & BET... 😞 my grandmother was like “Wow she sung beautifully (in Spanish)”.. I mourned Aaliyah bad.. it was so sad. I love music so when she was gone, I felt the music industry so sad.. rip baby girl
I was born 3 years after she died, when I got older I started to listen to her music and I loved her and her music . I watched videos of her funny moments and she was a joyful, nice , pretty . She loved her family and friends , and her career💯❤️ . She was a inspiration to everyone. Gone But Not Forgotten 💯❤️❤️. We love you and Miss you Babygirl ❤️❤️❤️💯👑
Miss you all forever baby girl Aaliyah and Lisa " left eye " Lopes may y'all rest in peace eternally with our Heavenly Father. Your music and movies will forever a legend.
That last part when Aaliyah is talking and looking so beautiful... my heart stops......l really miss her. R.I.P. BABY GIRL.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will never forget this day. I was booming the doctor Dolittle soundtrack as usual, then coming home from school hearing the news. I was in denial, every time I heard her name on the news, I would walk out of the living room, go to my room, and put on Are You That Somebody. I couldn’t watch Queen of the Damned or listen to her music from her 3rd album. Even as an 11 year old, it was too painful 😔
I'm crying like I'm 8 all over again she was my idol I wanted nothing but to be like her my heart broke the day she died n it still is because nobody is like her I remember sitting in front of my TV and her face came on the TV I was happy got up was about to start dancing and the news reporter said with deep sadness I report to you Aaliyah is gone she died in an airplane accident I remember running in the living room to my aunty and holding her so tight she was like what what's wrong I said aunty Aaliyah is dead she's gone an 8 year old girl who loved loved loved Aaliyah that was my first heart break in my life I still love you Aaliyah 26 now I celebrate her every birthday because we share the same birthday never forgotten about you 💙🙏 I Love YOU ❤️😘
Only a year apart she grew up in the same area as me in my bestie, watched all these and I still shed a tear 13 years later not a soul like that out there not only angel in life but heaven gained one as well.
