Aaliyah - At Your Best (You Are Love) (Sinead Harnett Cover)

[@SineadHarnettOfficial]

When I first heard this song, I was a little girl and it was Aaliyah singing it. That intro. It stopped me in my tracks. Did my research and discovered it was a cover. The Isley brothers - wow they really did they're thing!! Aaliyah went on to become one of my biggest forms of therapy. That angelic tone, the ridiculously beautiful delivery. It gave me comfort as a kid and through my teens up until now. A real RnB queen. So this is my lil acoustic rendition, my payment of homage to baby girl on her birthday tomorrow. Her legacy lives on and this song stays mending and breaking my heart all at once. If you like it, and you LOVE her. LET ME KNOW x

[@tonyusmc1]

I was a teenager when the Isley Brothers produced this song, I always thought Aaliyah sang it in her own way to make it hers. Now to hear you sing it, I am proud to be apart of all three productions of a song that was sung in your own way. Your innovations in tone and pitch are remarkable Sinead. Great job. I am proud of you!

[@TropicalTats1204]

Lovely. I love it!

[@Antonio.Guebara]

My sister LOVES AALIYAH, She literally was named after her and it's spelled the same way too and yes she does have an angelic tone.

I have never seen anyone take any of Liyah's songs, keep the style but still make it their own. Sinead really did that!

[@RnBReworked]

@@kearria26 It's just called "Million", and samples "One in a Million" though. It's not a direct cover. Just like T.I.s "Dope" samples "Rock the Boat" but is its own song.

@Dee Oy thats what I said. 😆 the reaching!

[@printmantis2082]

Love that she's paying homage to her Thai background with the headdress (Makuta) and the sleek dance with her fingers. Love you Sinead!!

[@mec2806]

I was scrolling thru the comments to find this lol As soon as I saw the headdress the questions started flowing.

[@juliew1426]

Oh, OK! I was wondering...It makes perfectly beautiful sense now. TY!

[@mellycarter2206]

Thanks for the facts, wouldn’t of known

[@ohdangmybad]

this song was written by the isley brothers in dedication to their mother. and she’s paying homage to her thai mother 😭

[@soksdoerng174]

Actually, Thailand got their style from Cambodia. Thai were Chinese migrant from Yunnan Province and learned the Indian Vedic from the Mon-Khmer. Please give credit to the original. Beside, Siam changed their name to Thailand in 1939!

[@kyanamorsell1]

As a huge Aaliyah fan, I’m very sensitive about remakes of her music. but I actually loved this! she kept it the same and classic as Aaliyahs remake but made it her own. Thank you 🙏🏽

I was a little girl when my father had to go overseas for one year because he served in the military. We just dropped him off at the airport, and I was feeling so many feelings. Sadness. I was a daddy’s girl. My mother played this song to ease me. I am now a grown woman with children. I have sung this song to my oldest son since he was a newborn. It means so much to me. Introduced to me in a different way by my mother.

I like this version it's nice. But Frank Aaliyah and Isley made it their own. Of course Isley brothers is the original and when Aaliyah covered it it felt new. Didn't feel like a cover. And niether does Frank's it felt brand new. This is nice but still feels like a cover. But overall she sang it beautifully.

Such a beautifully breathtaking cover/rendition. I love how it allows for Sinéad to really show off her soothing and amazingly angelic vocals. That are some of the best you will ever. The gracefulness that Harnett shows with every note and the vocal prowess, so beautiful and breathtaking. That shows once again why she is one of the best voices and talents of this current great group of R&B/Soul artists that has truly emerged over the past several years. To show what great talent there truly is in the genre. Especially even more so from the women. You gotta love how Harnett shows her gracefully classy beauty with the crown she is wearing and also parts of her Thai culture she grew up on throughout the visual too. Really helping bring the breathtakingly beautiful gracefulness of her rendition/cover of this classic song truly to life. I’m sure both The Isley Brothers and Aaliyah are proud. R.I.P. and Happy Early Heavenly Birthday to babygirl 💛
