Jack don went into Aaliyah's unreleased catelog!🔥👏🏾 Whitney handpicked her to be the lead actress to star alongside her as her daughter in "Sparkle." Aaliyah recorded this for the movie but due to Aaliyah passing away before filming began, Whitney put the film on hold until its 2012 release with Jordan Sparks taking the role & it being Whitney's final film🙏🏾 This song really showcased how Aaliyah was growing vocally. Sad she was taken away when she was just showing us what she was capable of as an entertainer🤦🏾 RIP ADH & WEH
Aaliyah recorded this song for the Sparkle movie and was hand picked to be the leading role by Whitney Houston (who produced and also starred in the movie) Unfortunately Aaliyah passed away before she could do the movie
This cover(originally sung by Donny Hathaway) is a demo Aaliyah did for the remake of the 1976 “Sparkle” (with her in the lead and title role) the remake was produced by Whitney Houston and Aaliyah believed to have recorded this song around late “00”/early “01” she unfortunately passed while the film was still in pre-production which is way the song is unreleased. I really love Aaliyah rendition of “Ava Marie” and “Turn The Page” is also a beautiful song you should checkout. Side note: Aaliyah was a theater kid and classically trained.
Sparkle is a cult black musical film about a girls singing group similar to the Supremes that predated Dreamgirls. It starred Irene Cara (Fame, Flashdance...what a Feeling) and Phillip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice). Aaliyah was set to star in a remake, but unfortunately she died. Whitney Houston starred in the remake (as the mother) in 2012. This was her last film. The song was written and performed by the legendary Donny Hathaway and Jennifer Holiday also recorded a version. All three versions are fire, simply heartbreaking. You should check out all three versions.
Thanks for introducing me to a song from Aaliyah I’ve never heard before! I suspect if the song is truly 6 minutes long it isn’t radio friendly or music video friendly given radio’s and TV’s aversion to long songs.
Yo jack man long time now can you please do your next reaction on 2pac thugz mansion ft Anthony Hamilton because his whole legacy was always powerful to people. The fact that he’s was gone, it became even more powerful, he lived through that song and it had a whole different meaning it was the spirit of what he left behind.
Check out I refuse from the 3rd Album and the song's melody changes 3 times to sort of tell the story with the lyrics....I personally think it's about Robert 😮 Aaliyah didn't really have bluesy songs like this. Def out of her zone here and I love it first time hearing it here ❤
I remember I requested this two years ago I'm glad you finally listened to it. She was suppose to play sparkle and this was her demo she sent to Whitney Houston who said she was her sparkle. There is her songs "what if" and "I refuse" (i think you reacted to that one) on her last album.
one of my faves from her. this, I am music and this performance here : ruclips.net/video/XwF7j5EHXBI/видео.html - watch from 2 minutes onwards and this disproves anyone who says Aaliyah wasn't a powerhouse live vocalist!
Sparkle is a Movie from the 70s. Curtis Mayfield wrote all of the songs for the movie. The cast performed the songs in the movie. Aretha Franklin performed the songs for the soundtrack. En Vogue's "Giving him something he can feel" is a cover of "Something he can feel" from the movie. Whitney Houston's last film in 2012 was a remake of Sparkle featuring Jordin Sparks from American Idol playing the role of Sparkle. The role of Sparkle was supposed to be Aaliyah's but when she died in 2001, they left the movie alone for 10 years. Aaliyah was hand picked by Whitney Houston to play Sparkle. Giving Up isn't from the original movie. It's a cover of Donny Hathaway's song from the early 70s. She had recorded it as a demo for the remake soundtrack, but it was never professionally released. It leaked online years ago. The reason why her music didn't make it to streaming services until 2021 is because her uncle lost all of his distribution deals in 2009. During her first album, he had her music distributed by Jive Records. Then for "One in a million" (Her second album), he changed distribution over to Atlantic Records/Warner Music Group. By the time The Romeo Must Die (Aaliyah's first movie) Soundtrack came out in 2000, He had changed distribution to Virgin Records/Universal Music Group but distribution was later moved to another label owned by Universal - Interscope. in 2009, he lost his distribution with interscope and universal. In 2012, Reservoir Media Management owned distribution rights to Blackground's catalog but they didn't do anything with it. Now her uncle has a new distribution deal with Empire Distribution. This is also why JoJo didn't release any music for neatly 10 years. She was stuck in a dead-end contract with the label that wasn't going anywhere and she didn't legally own her singing voice.
Forgive me for correcting you, cuz you're quite knowledgeable in your music history 😊 I don't mean this as a 1 upment or as to check you in anyway on everything I mean that⚔️ My respect to you but this song movie is definitely featured in the original movie who saw these different be featured in the movie🎥🦅 it's it's in the movie for a snippet in the original movie I didn't watch the remake all the way through put in the original movie it's the song she sings just before she dies and the ambulance picked her up in the whirling read red lights and she singing giving up So harrrrd to do🚨🚨🚨🚨😅 p.s. I love you jack you are the sexiest man alive and so very talented and acknowledge about your music ecology is 0n Point ☝🏾 Love and enormous LIGHTS 🕶️
@TonyOpulenced you're right. It was in the original I forgot. I saw it maybe once and don't remember anything about it I didn't see the remake. I was turned off by r.k. being a producer and writer on the soundtrack when it was supposed to be aaliyah's role
Notable songs “street thang” short but good belt towards the end. I think you’re reacted to “How could the one I gave my heart” and “Journey to the past”now similar songs I would suggest “I can be” “What if” “I refuse” this song you reacted was her cover for the movie remake of sparkle. She always had the ability to belt and sustain she just simply chose a different sound that ultimately made her sound and catalog all her own. It didn’t matter what producer was involved, her sound was unmistakable! And no it wasn’t A.I that was all her.
❤🎉 baby girl had the voice of an angel which is what her name mean highest most exalted one Fun Fact: Her aunt is Gladys knight she was married to aaliyah's uncle Barry hankerson he's a music producer
This is a cover of a hit song from the 1960's first recorded in 1964 by Gladys Knight and the Pips and then again by the Ad Libs in 1969 (my favorite cover of this song, although this cover by Aaliyah is incredible).
Aaliyah got a lot of unreleased songs and one those song was quit hatin which was sampled years later by asap rocky with his song problems featuring drake and ricky ross I don't know lol
Aaliyah did a good job on this song. But you probably haven't heard Donny Hathaway s version or Jennifer Holiday. No shade to Aaliyah because I love her. Two of my favorite songs by her that are ballads are: I Care 4 U &;Come Over

The fact that he’s was gone, it became even more powerful, he lived through that song and it had a whole different meaning it was the spirit of what he left behind.
This is one of my favorite /.\aliyah songs. /.\aliyah was suppose to play Sparkle in the self titled movie "Sparkle" directed and produced by Whitney Houston. It was all due to Aaliyah's untimely transition that Jordan Sparks end up playing the role years later. This song was also recorded for the role if I'm not mistaken.
React to aaliyah- street thing( at 14 she was singing like she's was in church towards the end) React to aaliyah national anthem live at 15( it shows her range she always had a strong voice) React to Aaliyah - ava marie( she was singing that song in Spanish at 11 or 12 yrs old she was classically trained vocally. Her voice was versatile and can give you different tones)
If you haven’t seen Whitney Houston’s last movie (Sparkle) as a music lover you should. It was released in August 2012, 6 months after her death. I sat in the theater with tears running down my face for a good portion of it. Her death was pretty fresh still and I wasn’t alone. Looked around and not a dry eye did I see. People who thought ahead brought boxes of Kleenex, passing them around. Still hard to believe it was her last big project. “Celebrate” is the movie’s main song. A fun upbeat song by Houston and Sparks in honor/memory of Aaliyah.
I believe this song was supposed to be in the remake of the 1970's film Sparkle. There was rumors that Aaliyah was supposed to star as Sister, but the truth is she was supposed to be casted as Sparkle. Whitney Houston picked Aaliyah but sadly she passed before the movie could be created. I am guessing that this song was supposed to be sung by Sparkle because in the original version Sister who was played by actress Lonette Mckee sang it before her character died of an overdose. The song was switched to One Wing and Jordin Sparks would eventually get the role of Sparkle.
Yeah this is part of the Aaliyah dark web lol. She recorded this for the Sparkle movie. A lot of people haven't heard her unreleased catalog. Hoping a remastered version of this song makes it to the posthumous album
Yes J Ree, I've been following and sharing and watching and liking for a minute brother. I've put so many of my heads on your channel. React to a track for me brother. I've been asking since Liberian girl. Can u do this for the man dem or what
OK now u have to go and listen to the original Donny Hathaway. Jennifer Holliday also has a version of this song. Both are outstanding. I heard Aaliyahs version 1st too

Yes she recorded this song before her death but it was never used since her death and she was offered the part of Sparkle years before Jordan sparks took the part.

Amen
She would have been perfect for that role
Aaliyah recorded this song for the Sparkle movie and was hand picked to be the leading role by Whitney Houston (who produced and also starred in the movie) Unfortunately Aaliyah passed away before she could do the movie
These are the songs people need to hear by her where you can hear her real Vocal Power behind the soft voice she projected she had power.

Before Aaliyah passed she was supposed to play Sparkle but Jordin Sparks played the role. She recorded it before she passed. R.I.P Babygirl ❤

By the way...Aaliyah was suppose to star in the movie Sparkle...but she died before the production.
Donny Hathaway's song. In the movie Sparkle, the original starring Lonette McKee and Irene Cara.
All I need by Aaliyah.
Great Reaction, This is one of my favorite Aaliyah songs.
Thanks for introducing me to a song from Aaliyah I’ve never heard before! I suspect if the song is truly 6 minutes long it isn’t radio friendly or music video friendly given radio’s and TV’s aversion to long songs.
Another unreleased song that's fire is Where Could He Be
Yes! One of my favorites. Also Turn The Page is a beautiful one as well 😍
@@angivens86... yes, Turn The Page is a classic.
This song was originally sang by Donnie Hathaway and later recorded by Jennifer Holiday.
And Gladys Knight & The Pips
I remember hearing this a few years ago love ❤️ her
Jack you gotta listen to Aaliyah's Dont Worry which was on her posthumous album, I Care 4 U.

Original singer to Giving up is Donny Hathaway was released in 1971 you should react to it
The fact this only had 1 like is blasphemous
React to Where could he be by aaliyah
React to aaliyah- street thing( at 14 she was singing like she's was in church towards the end)
React to aaliyah national anthem live at 15( it shows her range she always had a strong voice)
React to Aaliyah - ava marie( she was singing that song in Spanish at 11 or 12 yrs old she was classically trained vocally. Her voice was versatile and can give you different tones)
U know your Aaliyah history, all facts 🎯
You should react to Full length MJ Concerts. If you want to of course
One of my fav songs from her, her label needs to tweak the song and release it her vocals are on point.
