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.😍😘💝💝💝
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.
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. 😢.
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.
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 think this is a pretty great quality for RUclips. The problem is RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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
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.
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
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.🙂
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.
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.
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.
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 🥀
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
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
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. 🕊️
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
I remember recording this on vhs with all of her videos, her appearances on 106 and park and a mtv series. I learned this choreography and ran it into the ground. My siblings were tired of seeing Rock The Boat video. Lol I still love Aaliyah! RIP
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.
Me too. That was around the time of the lil boy Elian Gonzalez. So I came downstairs and my Dad was like "Who's Elia?", cuz he was mispronouncing it. I said "Who, let me see the newspaper?" It read "R&B star Aaliyah dead in tragic plane accident." For the next month, I can honestly say I cried everyday. I was with Aaliyah, as a fan, from day one and where I'm from-we kept Aaliyah on blast. So to lose her was like losing my favorite cousin or best friend.
I remember the day she died like it was yesterday. It was so dark where I lived. It was even darker after 9/11 and her album dropped though we all bought it everyone was grieving when listening to it. Aaliyah died before her time.
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
Every year on August 25 .. I’m reminded of Aaliyah .. & where I was at that time in my life .. summer 2001 was horrible for me , 2 weeks after Aaliyah passed was 9/11.
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!!
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🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾
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.
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
@@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.
One of the most beautiful talented Artist. I will always miss Aaliyah. Sometimes i stroll around youtube and i get so sad evertime i see an Aaliyah video. Aaliyah, Selena, Jennie Rivera and other Arists who have died through the years, always makes me wonder how Super great they would be today. I will continue letting my Grandchildren know how great these Artists were to keep their legacies going. They deserve the same respect they gave us. I know their all Angels now and that does make me happy after the sadness.
I was 13 in 2001, my best friend called me to tell me about the tragedy, I forgot a lot of memories during my life, but I’ll never forget that day. Rest in peace to all the beautiful souls that lost their life that day 🥺
I was 17 and my best friend told me as well and I didn't believe her until I heard it on the news!! I was heartbroken I love Her like I knew her, years later I named my daughter after her.
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.
**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
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every time I hear an interview with Alia, my heart shatters. It is so sad that she left us so early, this is one of my biggest lost in celebrity world. And to know she passed in the Island 46 miles from where I live, hurts even more. Alia!! You are missed very much, now and forever more, you will always be one and 1 million.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I loved this woman. She passed when we were in high school, Grade 8. Remember it like it was yesterday. I'm from Namibia & it hit us just as hard in Africa like it did in the rest of the world. During our school day there were rumours that she died but we didn't believe it until we got home from school and it was all over the news. We were all so devastated, we couldn't stop crying for the rest of that week. It was such a gloomy/eerie day, I'll never forget it.
The world misses you so much Aaliyah..... Rest in peace to you an you're wonderful team who parished with you.... We miss them as well...20 years later the pain still feels like yesterday....💔😔
Wow! Extremely eerie to watch. This whole shoot was water base. It rocks my soul to think her ending was water. Her energy was amazing but I feel she was an old soul mind body and voice. Rest On 🕊
2000 was the happiest time of my life. I first heard her song that time and fell in love with her song but the next year she's gone. I miss her so much
She put out so much great music in her short time here, I’m glad she lives on through her songs. Would love to know what artist Aaliyah would’ve been today
From spain.....i cant explain..it....what really im feeling......she will always be my lady.....i grew up from 90s about with her music....im the same age of her...im 42...she could be 42 this year too.....she was great....with an angelical...voice.....she seems as an beautiful angel......she is gone...but really she will never be forgotten....miss you so much babygirl!!!

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.
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 miss you so much Aaliyah, I love you.
JesMarie Jonz I do too .
Happy Heavenly 40th Birthday👑😇 Aaliyah Dana Haughton😢🤧😭🙏🏽
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
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
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. 🕊️
They are in Heaven ✝️❤️
I loved access granted, it allowed for a more personal look at the lives of artists. I miss aaliyah, he energy is unmatched n unique.
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
atlnikka Me too and I get angry .
atlnikka u look familiar
atlnikka nnn
I remember recording this on vhs with all of her videos, her appearances on 106 and park and a mtv series. I learned this choreography and ran it into the ground. My siblings were tired of seeing Rock The Boat video. Lol I still love Aaliyah! RIP
Girl me too I still do the dance to exercise lol
Do you have the clips of her on 106&Park doing the Get Paid in the Escalade contest? I remember that.
@@tarag7292 yes lol. I remember the all white fit and all.
Aaliyah was beautiful inside and out 😍 I was in Chicago when she and her crew passed away 😢 I cried like a baby.
Yes she was.
You can see her hair stylist adored her.
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......
That’s just so sad.💔💔
@@BixbyLBC reading this just broke my heart all over again 😭😭💔
@@NotLikeUs17 .....🙏💕💕
@@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.
Holy shit; it’s so fascinating to watch this piece of history in the making ! Thanks so much for sharing this!
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.
She is soooo sweet!!!Aaliyah was,is and will be forever the most beautiful and successfull woman of the world
Awwwwwww Aaliyah, such a beautiful soul she was. Your legacy lives forevermore!❤️
I remember exactly where I was when I heard Aaliyah had died. 18years later, I still get the chills. Miss her.
Me too. That was around the time of the lil boy Elian Gonzalez. So I came downstairs and my Dad was like "Who's Elia?", cuz he was mispronouncing it. I said "Who, let me see the newspaper?" It read "R&B star Aaliyah dead in tragic plane accident."
For the next month, I can honestly say I cried everyday. I was with Aaliyah, as a fan, from day one and where I'm from-we kept Aaliyah on blast. So to lose her was like losing my favorite cousin or best friend.
rest in heaven Aaliyah
I remember watching this 20 years ago. I miss her dearly.
I remember the day she died like it was yesterday. It was so dark where I lived. It was even darker after 9/11 and her album dropped though we all bought it everyone was grieving when listening to it. Aaliyah died before her time.
why did they go to Bahamas when almost everything was with computer??? i mean Miami has beautiful beach it doesnt make sense
Don't they take planes to Miami too? People go out to do videos all the time. Nobody could have predicted this.
@@TM-se5jf Sad but true
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
I just thought the same thing. She did not have to go all the way to the Bahamas to shoot this video. Her death was a set up.
@@survivingyoutoday8519 girl no it wasn't
Every year on August 25 .. I’m reminded of Aaliyah .. & where I was at that time in my life .. summer 2001 was horrible for me , 2 weeks after Aaliyah passed was 9/11.
Yeah same here. RIP
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!!
She was so perfect with so much promise. 💕
3:59 the way she says "rock star" with that cute accent
Rest in heaven beautiful angel! May all of the lovely souls rest in peace as well. You all are on another journey now but not forgotten!
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🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾
Amen
Jesus is the way to heaven
So true (something)????
She was a sacrifice it wasn’t her time!!!
Some people dislike the video maybe because they were saddened over the beauty of Aaliyah and how she and her crew horribly died.
Eddie Evans Yup and I'm one of them . This is just wrong in so many ways . 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Or just simply because the don't like her
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.
@@joelleginger599 have a little bit more respect for a passed on legend, y’all don’t have to hate on the deceased, that’s truly evil
Bring her back immediately. We need this Queen. ❤
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. 😩🙏🏻
Yeah, the green screen and all that , that looks like a music video from 2022
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
@@marathontoamillionusds8060 I know! It’s crazy!
@@JM-cx6ze agree 💯 I’m not a Beyoncé fan.. Don’t come for me🤣🤣.. she just seems fake to me.. idk.. love me some Aaliyah and Selena tho. 😞😞❤️
One in a Million is finally available on streaming platforms and I’m sooo happy. I hope they release Aaliyah (the album) for streaming next 😭
They will. It’s coming September 10th
@@kyllie1234 yessss. Thank you for letting me know!
I just want to cry all over again.
Nothing as bright and alive as her smile. Love You.
She could have perfectly done it in miami, gosh if she didnt get on that plane we’d still have her today! 😞😿🙏🏾
When it is your time it is your time. No matter where she went it was her time to go.
Ugh....it was NOT her time to go
@@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.
One of the most beautiful talented Artist. I will always miss Aaliyah. Sometimes i stroll around youtube and i get so sad evertime i see an Aaliyah video. Aaliyah, Selena, Jennie Rivera and other Arists who have died through the years, always makes me wonder how Super great they would be today. I will continue letting my Grandchildren know how great these Artists were to keep their legacies going. They deserve the same respect they gave us. I know their all Angels now and that does make me happy after the sadness.
I was 13 in 2001, my best friend called me to tell me about the tragedy, I forgot a lot of memories during my life, but I’ll never forget that day. Rest in peace to all the beautiful souls that lost their life that day 🥺
I was 17 and my best friend told me as well and I didn't believe her until I heard it on the news!! I was heartbroken I love Her like I knew her, years later I named my daughter after her.
@@starrtaylor4186 that’s beautiful that you named your daughter after Aaliyah
15:00 One of the saddest shots. RIP to all of them
Aly P. Right very .
Aly P. why?? is it before the accident?
Christian Rey Sumatra yes, i think that’s why they slowed it down as she walked passed the camera man.💔
Was it on their way to the airport
@@tyliekinc. no they were filming the boat scenes
I remember i taped this on VHS when it premiered on BET 😩
Still have it in Dad's basement
me too
Happy Birthday Aaliyah! Rest in Peace Queen❤
Honestly had chills throughout the whole video RIL to the BEST EVER
the 3 people who disliked this couldn't rock the boat with Aaliyah. RIP babygirl.
She was so Beautiful inside and out💜💕👑 I love her 💖
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.
Now 15 years 😢😢😢
I got nervous too when i clickd the vid
17 now. RIP
Its to depressing to watch, especially when you know she would have like 5 big hit albums more by now and we'll never hear it
Get over it, it's been 18 years now
**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
This is so sad, all those lives just gone in seconds, you just never know. I always wonder what Aaliyah’s life would’ve been like today.
She wud have delivered a catalogue of hits, classic songs and amazing videos...
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's so sad knowing that these were the last moments on Earth for so many of these people, not just Aaliyah. 😢
Aaliyah oh my imy , rip to u and the whole crew, everyone seem to be a joy
Interesting how the background was all green screen. So why did she HAVE to fly to Bahamas after already shooting in miami? Smells fishy to me
There were scenes on a real boat and the song is called rock the boat so I guess they needed to go to the beach for that
@@rebeccapetty1k390 there is boats in miami. It was a set up.
@@meriamgrant6689 trueeee
@@meriamgrant6689 i think she wanted to give it a more natural vibe and the beaches in the bahamas are prettier then the beaches in miami.
@@boredasf4856 well, Ashanti also did Rock Wit U in US and it looked totally natural. But it doesnt matter, it's big tragedy we cannot take back 😔
Every time I hear an interview with Alia, my heart shatters. It is so sad that she left us so early, this is one of my biggest lost in celebrity world. And to know she passed in the Island 46 miles from where I live, hurts even more. Alia!! You are missed very much, now and forever more, you will always be one and 1 million.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Her energy and spirit is contagious 😇 so down to earth and fun🥰 fly high baby girl
I loved this woman. She passed when we were in high school, Grade 8. Remember it like it was yesterday. I'm from Namibia & it hit us just as hard in Africa like it did in the rest of the world. During our school day there were rumours that she died but we didn't believe it until we got home from school and it was all over the news. We were all so devastated, we couldn't stop crying for the rest of that week. It was such a gloomy/eerie day, I'll never forget it.
Mikiros, I love your name😍
This song STILL sounds contemporary. It's a CLASSIC.
The world misses you so much Aaliyah..... Rest in peace to you an you're wonderful team who parished with you.... We miss them as well...20 years later the pain still feels like yesterday....💔😔
13:49 That little high-pitched scream and moment from her was so cute 😩❤💕
Wow! Extremely eerie to watch. This whole shoot was water base. It rocks my soul to think her ending was water. Her energy was amazing but I feel she was an old soul mind body and voice. Rest On 🕊
2000 was the happiest time of my life. I first heard her song that time and fell in love with her song but the next year she's gone. I miss her so much
She didn't even look like herself. She looked nervous and in a rush. I can tell she wasn't calm as she usually was.
It was a last minute scheduled shoot she said in in the beginning that they were tryna finish in 3 days

I remember when this air after the premiere of her video on 106 & park!
