AALIYAH - Best Live Vocals (REACTION)

[@Dboy4100X3]

Aaliyah could sing better than people gave her credit. She chose to sing soft for style. She had great range, lower register, and beautiful tone on top of a gorgeous head voice. Imagine if she actually had time to mature her voice.

[@candisjohnson9289]

ALLLLL OF THIS

[@johnallen2337]

Exactly, she never reached her prime.

[@ahmad.tillery.1987]

I love Aaliyah's tone and her falsetto.

[@dafuture93]

She died so young on her last album and over her last year of life you could see she was starting to understand her voice, it was maturing and she was gaining more control of it. She had nice runs, good low notes and a very supple head voice she had the makings of everything she just wasn't quite at the step of putting it all together but she was well on her way. Very very sad

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Bryan Thomas Yeah, I loved her music but always wondered why Aaliyah chose soft ballads when she had such booming vocals. Gosh, just so tragic she got on that plane.

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Whatever her reason she was still putting out hit Albums. Wasn't to be for Babygirl to stay on here with us but she now rip until that Day.😘

[@CandanceOnline]

That damn album was the best album of 2001 that “ Aaliyah “ was the best & should have won a Grammy.

[@artgroupie]

I love her lower register so much

[@justthevoice4529]

I loved hearing that too! Very rich sound down there.

[@sumbum5804]

Thee Kydd Singa yessssssss same

[@MrSoulshock44]

She's kinda underrated as a vocalist

[@wwenewyork7570]

Not at all , it was nothing underrated about Aaliyah

[@jahmarkirk2899]

Very much underrated. People slept on her vocally & they're still sleeping apparently. There are only a few tracks that allow her to fully showcase vocal abilities. Consider most of her biggest hits are mid & up tiempo dance tracks & most ppl are distracted by those hard beats Tim makes & not listening for vocal performance.

[@toyshop98]

MrSoulshock44 i blame her uncles label allot for that

[@joelprice6028]

wwenewyork And who are you?

[@lawsonnn9232]

She really is overrated in my opinion.

[@ifyoucanttakeitback615]

Aaliyah was a pure gem. I'm just 1 month older than her. Loosing her still hurts today. She was a great singer/actress & a very humble & sweet girl. I miss her everyday...

[@mathisbailey794]

Aaliyah is iconic....her voice was AMAZING. So lovely.

[@Ahleeyuh]

Seeing You React To Her Made Me Cry. A Lot Of People Never Really Knew She Could Truly Sing. Poor Baby 😔💔 Aaliyah Was A Triple Threat In That Time & She Was Robbed Of A Chance To Continue Her Creative Development 💔💔

[@BAMOORE94]

The thing about Aaliyah is she always sung her songs in a deeper tone live so she could dance as well.. as each album came out she got better and better man she would’ve been amazing now

[@anthonybaker5674]

Them low notes that she hits. Omg !!!!!!!! Such control. !!!!!!!!!

[@dillinrivera91]

Aaliyah is sooo beautiful! I can't take my eyes off her beauty💗💗💗

[@brandonjuno]

Aaliyah's voice was solid but I think it's safe to say she was more revered as a dancer. Which is really something because so, so many "stars" today get away with being one or the other, and not even particularly well. Y'all know who I'm talking about. It's hard to judge Aaliyah's vocal artistry because she was just so young and never got a chance to develop further and refine and hone her craft. Which is a great shame. But her HV was beautiful and consistent, and gratefully she left behind so many hits to enjoy.

[@baldw1]

Who we talking about Rihanna?

Y’all be trying my good sis! Mind you she’s 15,16,17 ,18 in most of these clips! Her voice was very beautiful. Imo. It’s not that I don’t understand people not seeing her as a vocalist because I get it but to write her off as just a dancer is ignoring her talent.

[@sociologydeviance56]

Aaliyah was and still is a triple threat! Period!

Her transitions from Chest to Head Voice were always beautiful.... Wish she were still here today. her music is wonderful, you should definately check out her music tbh. her last album is one of the greatest R&B albums of ALL TIME!!

[@deadea74]

I've never seen this video...But I love her like no other. Her studio voice was also so soothing to the soul. She is still my number 1. the song was One In a Million

[@Kaydashsupe]

The song you keep saying you gotta find is called one in a million. It's an rnb classic from her

[@bayouprincess_90creolebaby94]

Aaliyah was one of the most underrated singers of our generation!! She was one of my FAV singers growing up, her & Whitney!!

[@traebreon5449]

This was the video that made me subscribe to him, Aaliyah was and still is the Queen in my book. And his reactions to Artist are always so pure and professional!!! I respect his videos so much.

[@surfininalaska]

Her One in A Million album is a classic in my opinion. She also had a lot of control in her voice (which kinda shows in some of the clips where it looks like she's consciously thinking about the next note she's gonna sing). I truly believe she would have continued to grow as a vocalist.

[@djjackson2987]

3:33 - 3:34 She Sounded JUST Like Whitney I Swear 😱😵💯🔥🎙️ And 1:12 Is One Of The Best Low Notes I've Ever Heard😕♥️

[@jahmarkirk2899]

Aaliyah couldn've made an album of her singing the alphabet. I still would buy it just because it's her. Okuurrt!

[@johnnyflame2543]

Do Aaliyah “Journey to the past” live at the Oscars reaction!!

[@solargeknowles4354]

Get into baby girls self titled album. It's an absolute classic and a clear example of an artist with an abundance of creativity and adventurism with so much farther to go. I still get teary eyed when I think about the fact that her and Timbaland were thinking about experimenting with more European punk and chicago house influences with their next material, in the vain of the iconic "Try Again".

[@solargeknowles4354]

That song is the R&B classic "one in a million".

[@johnallen2337]

JUST IMAGINE HOW AMAZING SHE WOULD'VE SOUND TODAY!!!! HER VOCALS WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY INCREASED. JUST LIKE BRANDY, MONICA, BEYONCE AND OTHER GOOD SINGERS!!! AALIYAH WAS A WOMAN THAT ALWAYS CHALLENGE HERSELF TO DO IT BETTER THAN THE LAST TIME PLUS AFTER WORKING WITH WHITNEY HOUSTON ON SPARKLE AND JAMIE FOX ON SOME KIND OF BLUES AALIYAH VOICE WOULD'VE BEEN SUPER STRONG DOING ALL KINDS OF TRICKS AND MORE... ANYWHO I ENJOY THE LIVE VOCALS BY AALIYAH ❤

[@angivens86]

The song you are referring to is One in a Million. She was an amazing artist, you should check her out more. The songs from her that i think really showcase her voice are: Whatever, l care 4 u, Never no more, Erica Kane, and I Refuse.

[@HotLikeFire92]

The song you're asking about is One In A Million and it actually inspired Janets song. Anyways i love your reaction. She really did have amazing control with her voice. Her runs and transitions between strong belts to her sweet falsettos and the other way around are deff impressive. Something we don't hear anymore with singer now a days and singers that have come out within last 15 years. Her voice was golden. Get into Aaliyah music. Different colors within her catalogue. From sweet tracks to heavy hip hop beats with edgy mysterious sounds. Her work is impressive and does not sound dated at all. With the exception of her first album but even with that she mixed in sweet falsetto's n harmonies over hard beats which wasn't being done at that time.

[@jerryjaguar3239]

from which source janet said it inspired whats it gonna be

[@A__Love]

She didn't even get to her prime yet. She left the world too young, only 22.

[@BAMOORE94]

One in a million is the song, her most recognized song that's her signature song

[@mollyshaj.3888]

i hate when ppl say she cant sing because her voice was softer than others and she wasn't out here doing whitney houston belts

[@gustavoinfinito3841]

She a was lyric soprano,that type of voices are specials and beautiful to sing r&b,powerful ballads like on her song:"i refuse" or romantic pop,she definetly could sing every type of genere musical as she wanted on her only way,but sadly Aaliyah was on her best moment when she died & her vocal range was progressing tremendously,unfortunately we couldn´t see all that potential of voice that she had for show us here,she just had 21 when she died,at the moment of her death her vocal range sounded most stronger and the proof of the amazing voice that she had was reflected on her last album, i read in some article that i don´t remember :(, that she probably to future albums she was going to involve in the electronic garage dance on UK, would have be fascinating heard that musical propose that she was going to share with the world, but sadly she died.

[@cheriejackson1106]

Listening to her music in present day still gives me chills

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Aaliyah had the vocal chops but just chose not to use it in most of her songs. Idk why. Maybe she just preferred a more softer tone.

[@stormc14]

You need do Aaliyah I Refuse and I Care 4 You. Her voice is beyond beautiful but in these song you hear her true vocal abilities

[@janicewhite4290]

The last clip Aaliyah was very tired and exhausted but she still did it for her supports❤.

[@kingly1407]

People tend to rate singers based on the style of music they do. That's mostly why I think she's slept on. People took her style choice as vocal weakness

[@morganlogan559]

I know this video old but, I always say look at Beyonce and rihanna their vocals have come so far. I could only imagine how much Aaliyah voice would have come. She was on a roll, I believe her movie and music career would've been something out this world.

[@HerAkanE505]

Her love to high notes and transitions were always so beautiful live and studio! It’s funny you keep saying Mary j bilge, you weren’t old enough at that time but Mary was dubbed the queen of hip hop and rnb and Aaliyah was dubbed the princess of hip hop and rnb! Loved your review here and for Lisa Fischer

[@mikellclark635]

Plenty of others were known as princess hip hop and r&b

[@HerAkanE505]

During the 90s?.... cause no there were not anyone else described and titled as such other than Aaliyah.

The song you loved with the guitar line is One In A Million. Funny thing is she was so young. Her Brandy, & Monica all started around the same age. She was starting to show a lot of growth in her last album before she passed. I feel like she was really coming into her own

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Her lows and highs are good . Her mids Was developing

[@recoverywillcome5937]

She was so young too.. She died before her voice really developed and was just finding her voice right before she passed at 22

[@davonbenson4361]

Facts!

[@MrDaRiAn21]

True R&B Princess! Grew up with her since 1998 when I heard Are You That Somebody from the Dr. Dolittle movie. Underrated singer. Whitney Houston even was a fan of hers & she wanted Aaliyah to play Sparkle. Still makes me sad today. Certain songs I couldnt listen to after she past. At 5:11 what song is she singing? It sounds familiar. Its been too long

[@buttercup645]

I love her low notes and full voice more than anything. On her last album she was more of an alto

[@kaleenajean]

One in a million@song. She was an old soul. Before her time.

[@darien3651]

She truly was “at her best” (no pun intended) when she stood in place and sang. She could also dance, but she never really successfully mastered doing BOTH simultaneously. I would liken her to modern-day Rihanna in that they both could actually sing well, but couldn’t really get the breath control down when performing. I wouldn’t go as far to say that she was a “studio singer,” but her voice in many of her live performances tended to be shake-y when she would add that dance / performance element.

[@vangoghmatisse1]

She was so beautiful!

[@GIZELLE350]

The Aaliyah song you liked is called "One In A Million" & the Janet song you were referring to is Busta Rhymes' "What's It Gonna Be" featuring Janet. Also, you should react to Jessie Reyez performance of "Figures" on Jimmy Fallon. Her voice almost reminds me of Amy Winehouse. I'd love to hear your take on her voice.

I love her voice, very beautiful but some songs actually didn’t fit her true voice , like try again and more than a women. Her live performance of try again were with chest while in the original she sung it in Falsetto. But all by all she is a great singer with well developed lower register and headvoice.

Even though Aaliyah was greatly influence by Whitney...I personally didn't see much similarities. And I didn't quite get the Mary J Blige references in the video. I always thought Aaliyah had her own look and sound. No one really reminded me of her besides Janet...because of their sweet persona...and killer moves.

[@TheUplode16]

8:40 she was in great voice that day. Its just normal some days your voice is just more "on" than usual. And some days your throat just wont do it. Alot of iconic singers talk about it. That's probably why Aaliyah doesn't get much credit. She left us before they could really gather an extensive edit of vocals like some artist that were around with her, that are still around today. Ive loved her since I was a boy.

[@ahmad.tillery.1987]

The song is "One In A Million" Aaliyah was the first to work with Timbaland so she made that sound with the drum pattern popular with Timbaland & Missy Elliot behind the scenes. They was such a dope team Timbaland & Missy Elliot was Aaliyah's singwriters and producers on her album "One In A Million".

[@sheepswool297]

I thought she sounded very pretty. However it was like drinking a glass of water and still being thirsty. I kept feeling like she wasn't giving her all. Like she was holding back for the sake of sounding soft and pretty. I was not very impressed with her voice. I always felt like she could produce more if she gave up that signature soft and pretty Style.
