sassy here their whole ‘Ungodly Hour’ era gives heavy Aaliyah vibes. The dark R&B vibe, with sweet vocals and a sense of maturity and femininity. ChloexHalle’s song ‘Forgive Me’ is an example of this imo...
No she wasn’t. She was of her time. A young Janet Jackson. Aaliyah was right where she needed to be! 🙋🏽♂️I was there to witness her ascend. Her death was a hard day
Mario Scharer It was a hard day. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard she'd been killed in a plane accident. I was having a good day, but that was very hard news to hear, and really put a damper on my day. RIP Aaliyah.
Did my girl just sing and danced a whole song and just walks to have a conversation without a break ...didn’t run out of air and swearing balls ... she’s freaking amazing !
Aaliyah was the epitome of self love. I’m tired of seeing blown up body parts in artist with low self esteem. It’s cringe. I miss Aaliyah. Babygirl was beautiful and smart. No one could deny that.
I would’ve fainted this is my literal wifey I love her so much like there’s no words to describe how much I love this woman she was a real artist and she will truly be missed forever and ever
LOVE that she sang in a lower register to project better while dancing. Everything seemed so effortless. That’s what made her stand out. Nothing felt forced. Everything from her look and vocals to her dancing felt natural. 💜
@@CatACor21. I have had many freinds in the industry including also singing, dancing and having a family full of ministers,musicians and vicalists hon so I know what a rehersal is,I know because I've actually studied and been around the industry that when someone's really good they can dance on the spot, sing on the spot or run there sound check very quickly and go on National TV which many greats have done it's called Raw Talent and elite skills,nice try trying to school me though (💙) .Bye now!
lynn perry And my mim was BFFs with Madonna 🙄 It rehearsals and dedication. She just had the personality to go with it. That’s what made her stand out. Talent is only always a part of what you portray.
@@CatACor21. okay great what I said as my opinion still stands,It's a fact that yes dedication,rehersals,classes,coaching yes that's a part of it but people constantly come on her posts trying to downplay her talent and legacy so let me ask you this, If you where flown to New York,given her exact choreographer,used your "dedication and had to perform against her with all tbe same professional stuff could you win? You obviously are a hater to the moon and back because your sitting on a legends video,on my comment acting like you're about to die pretty much unless someone says well yeah she wasn't all that,It's always a woman hating a woman or a non black person trying to school someone on thier own culture lol.
Aaliyah was and is such a high vibrational queen. When I see her smile, I can't help but smile. When I see her dance, its like looking at something move in slow motion. I pay attention to every detail. Truly a gift to the world and an unforgettable presence.
@@BBFirefly420 And you right, but why make it seem like artists didn’t have their vocals altered back then just like how they do now? people can use auto tune for a variety of reasons, not just because they can’t hit a note.
The way she was so light on her feet while singing live and serving face is siiiiiickening😫 SHE DID THAT SHIT WITH NO EFFORT. Then went right into an interview. I'm truly amazed right now.
Maybe she wasn’t feeling well, maybe she was told not to exert herself or she would have a hard time singing live, cuz on stage, they usually lip sync to their songs so they can put on a wild performance
Aaliyah died only four years after me being born and now I’m a year younger than when she passed. I’m happy my family introduced me to this ethereal, influential, and beautiful talent. Rest easy babygirl 🕊
Me too. Aaliyah and Janet were already hanging out together and talking about it, however Janet's schedule during the All for you era was rdiciolous, and Aaliyah's schedule was rigorous too. They would have done it around 2002-2003 I assume, unfortunately, this never came to be and Aaliyah passed before they could get in the studio. It would have been the most fire, amazing, and iconic collaboration of all time.
Her singing was so much better than she got credit for! People would say she whispered or sang similar to Janet Jackson. I disagree. Her vocals were extremely good even in a live performance as u can see. She had to keep the dancing light in this performance so that she could interview. So amazing. True lost.
She was so beautiful 😍😍😍😍❤❤ No Fake Boobs No Fake Ass just a Natural Beauty with Not a Lot of heavy make up ether Just a Natural beauty with Talent God I miss her 😭😭😭😭😭
Man, I was in love with some Aaliyah and TLC. They had the look, the pipes and the moves. So sexy and smooth at the same time. Definitely gone too soon.
There is no other female performer like her. Others have imitated her but not equal as her. One of her other gift is that she was the valedictorian of her high school graduation. Aaliyah gone but not forgotten. RIP. 👏🏽🙏🏾💃🏻
Is no body else noticing she just turned out the perfect performance from inside the center of the formation, then goes straight to the interview chair: Flawless. National treasure.
I love her live performances! She show cases that deeper tone and power that for some reason people thought she lacked! But she should have wore a belt that day. She was fighting to keep them pants up🤣😭
I love how she actually did the whole thing live because some stars just lip sync and that kind of ruins the purpose of the concert that’s why I love Aaliyah 3 Years Later: 😭😭😭 This comment is so cringey to me I don’t even remember making it but thanks for the 1K likes
@Imani Alexander singing live was something artists were proud of. Thats a major reason why people watched variety shows, late night shows, talk shows, awards shows, etc. Especially people considered real or good artists. Black vocalist were phenomenal live artists. It helped arsenio and its showtime at the apollo. Thats why milli vanilli and the simpson sister faced so many backlash. Their presumed live vocals werent live. By the 80s soul train stopped live weekly vocals alltogether. Btw, there IZZ a difference between a untruth, mistake, or mispeaking. (Unless ur referring to the #lies tagline tamarbraxton uses)
From my understanding, some shows wouldn’t allow artist to sing live. Some shows made them lip sync and some made them sing live if they were gonna perform. Not all. But I’ve heard multiple artist say this.
I surely hope both Jay Leno and his audience treasure the privilege and honor to have watched and enjoyed Aaliyah's live performance!! .. I surely miss her. Even my ex husband who was my boyfriend at the time that we learned of Aaliyah's death, he cried like a baby. RIP beautiful Princess Aaliyah 💕✝️😓
One of my fave Aaliyah songs. It's the motto in life. If you first don't succeed. Then dust yourself off and try again. So damn true. Miss you Aaliyah. 🙏
I smiled literally every second of this video. She was so naturally beautiful, her voice so graceful and her moves so smooth. She seemed SO genuinely sweet and humble. She would be the biggest star today 😩🤍🙏🏼
Yo she did this! Her vocals were so on point for a live dance performance. She switched the ad-libs up to match her style of the song, she looked beautiful, danced great, & just did the damn thang. I don't know how she could perform and then just walk directly over for a sit down interview with Jay Leno as if she didn't just walk off stage...I woulda been out of breath AF!!! 😩
Who is still watching in 2024? RIP Aaliyah
Im here
She was so mature for 21... an old soul
Wow she was 21 here!?
tj Tanner she was only 22 when she died :(
cause r kelly was schooling her
Ted Boujee ugh plz dont
I mean most ppl should be by 21.
God, how different the world of entertainment would be if Aaliyah was still here...
Victor Hardin I know what you mean... but at least we’d still have Aaliyah.
Beyonce would have buried her career alive. Bey was coming for everyone. Ask Ciara, Ashanti, Amerie, Kerri Hilson, Alicia Keys, etc
Aaliyah will always be queen 👸🏽
@Victor Hardin what do u mean¿
@@tinachristine4573 ,Beyonce couldn't touch Aaliyah
Before queen B there was Queen A
Lane Fair 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lane Fair Facts!!💯💯💯♥️❤️❤️🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Uh, no 😒. Aaliyah will FOREVER be the Princess of r&b. That’s always been what she’s known as, but you tried it friend.
Aaliyah also played Queen Akasha in Queen of the Damned. Aaliyah will always be R&B Royalty. RIH Babygirl
@@miyko8649 you didnt get what he was trying to convey AT ALL, so if anything YOU tried it
*I'm obsessed with Aaliyah. Her energy is still highly active!*
Especially in the industry. Check out Chloe x Halle. They brought me here because they perform live, sing and dance how Aaliyah did.
@@DES.S.O.O what video was that, i am still looking for energy from those two
sassy here their whole ‘Ungodly Hour’ era gives heavy Aaliyah vibes. The dark R&B vibe, with sweet vocals and a sense of maturity and femininity. ChloexHalle’s song ‘Forgive Me’ is an example of this imo...
She’s a very active spirit!
May be she dead very early and she wanted to get more success in her life
She was way ahead of her time ‼️‼️‼️
What????
No she wasn’t. She was of her time. A young Janet Jackson. Aaliyah was right where she needed to be! 🙋🏽♂️I was there to witness her ascend. Her death was a hard day
Right and she's super real unlike most artists these days with nose, boob, and butt jobs.
She stil is !
Mario Scharer It was a hard day. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard she'd been killed in a plane accident. I was having a good day, but that was very hard news to hear, and really put a damper on my day. RIP Aaliyah.
Nobody can’t replace Aaliyah.. she’s was everything ❤️
Nobody is trying to replace her
You're absolutely right, she's the best
Sorry to dampen your spirit❤, but no one is irreplaceable...
TRUE 😢❤
Did my girl just sing and danced a whole song and just walks to have a conversation without a break ...didn’t run out of air and swearing balls ... she’s freaking amazing !
She only two stepped. Wasn’t hard to do.
Jasmyn Holland Singers today can’t even do that lol.
@@Shon9tilR well my fave can and do a lot more. She set the standard for me and now everyone seems boring to me now.
Jasmyn Holland literally. she talked through that performance

You know you said something. She looked happy, polite, beautiful and talented. People could learn a lot from her. ❤
She could sing and dance without being out of breath…❤
True! But my fav was one in a million on Jay Leno
Her dancing was always so smooth.
AALIYAH WAS A BREATHTAKING BEAUTY.
I met her shortly after this and she was so kind and sweet. A true artist
😭 oh my God I wish I could've only in the next life now rip babygirl
I would’ve fainted this is my literal wifey I love her so much like there’s no words to describe how much I love this woman she was a real artist and she will truly be missed forever and ever
i wish I envy you !
Cool. I saw her at the FYE store in NY for her last CD autograph signing. I remember her big smile.
Lucky u
Her and Selena ❤️ they were gold. Beautiful inside and out
Where's Selena in this video
Marilyn King she’s not, just stating that her and Aaliyah were amazing stars, died too soon

Almost every live performance I’ve seen she always sings in a lower register 😊
That and they also lightened up her vocals in the studio because they felt lighter vocals matched her look whatever that means
Literally she's such an elite dancer you can tell she doesn't have to mentally process it,It's like breathing for her.(💙)

She is kinda doing baby steps. Nothing I can't do in my living room. She definitely sounds better live. I think from this era Monica was my favorite

Very well said.
She had a very smooth movement in her choreography. It looked effortless but yet it exuded this energy that can’t be matched !!!!!
when artists could sing and didn’t need auto tune.
Katirvana please tell us again!!!
Auto tune existed around this time but go off
@@MusicChanneI1738 never said it didn’t exist but as you could see, she can actually sing and didn’t need auto tune. 🤷🏻♀️
@@BBFirefly420 And you right, but why make it seem like artists didn’t have their vocals altered back then just like how they do now? people can use auto tune for a variety of reasons, not just because they can’t hit a note.
@@MusicChanneI1738 the point is she used her real voice in her performances and that says a lot. 👍🏾

Right! I was just thinking this!
@@janasali821they meant she was flawless and exceptional because she wasn’t out of breath after the great performance. ❤
I love how confident and relaxed she was in this interview. A huge loss to the music world.
This gives me chills. She was so beautiful and talented
Now that IS a LIVE performance!
Aaliyah always kept it classy and sweet. We miss you, Baby girl!
I could never sing and dance an entire song then sit down and give an interview
Aaliyah died only four years after me being born and now I’m a year younger than when she passed. I’m happy my family introduced me to this ethereal, influential, and beautiful talent. Rest easy babygirl 🕊
Sweet
And you just made me feel old!!! Lol na...
Same here, Chez. She passed when I was 4
Chez Johnson I wasn’t born she passed
I was 2 year old when she passed. I wished she was still here, like left eye
Gosh I wish her and Janet Jackson would have gotten a chance to do the duet for the All For You/Aaliyah eras. Aaliyah is my girl forever
Oh my I didnt know that was supposed to be a duet

the way she moves. oh god. effortlessly dope

Yes!!! ❤
Aaliyah was a terrific role model and an incredible entertainer. She was the best and is missed ❤
Well in 2000 nobody had fake bodies. It wasn't a thing. She was just naturally slim.
She was a man
Fake hair tho
Selena and Aaliyah remind so much of each other, beautiful souls. Taken way too soon.. They would have been AMAZING!!! ❤️
Live vocals...amazing
I wouldn't say all that now 😂 but she was great
Her voice is soooooo goooooood
Man, I was in love with some Aaliyah and TLC. They had the look, the pipes and the moves. So sexy and smooth at the same time. Definitely gone too soon.
I agree
Just sad we never got a collaboration 😢
ptoyman them and Selena were legends. Missing my babies
They also did panther soundtrack before in a black and white music video

Victor Jimenez a classic beauty!
delius521 Sorry, but that’s not true. She didn’t pass away until a year and a half later.
Joel Price you literally just proved their point... she aged literally a year between this video and her death. that’s no time at all!
It's still hard to believe that she is gone. RIP Aaliyah!
Her performances just seem so unique.
I could watch her dance forever!!
She’s SO pretty 💚😩 rip beautiful lady
She sounds amazingly sultry live 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I like how she knew not to over dance so she could breath and sing👏🏾👏🏾😍
What a beautiful & talented woman…
Such a beautiful and talented young lady - what a terrible loss😔
I miss her a lot. She would have been a beast. She is an icon

Loved that deeper tone.
