BANKS - Are You That Somebody (Acoustic Aaliyah Cover)

[@MR-zz3zb]

She gives it a totally different vibe, like a dark one and totally different type of sound, obviously..... I love it.

[@ilicitgrace6840]

Came back in 2024. I love this rendition and I LOVE BANKS. ❤

[@BL4CK_ICE]

Remember when she opened for The Weeknd? Those were the glory days

[@luigik542]

Aaliyah is smiling up in heaven! Great job I loved this

[@DontStopJaime]

Sorry to break it to you, but heaven is just make up believe..

[@kylepascoe6111]

Jamie Best I personally do not believe in heaven or hell but you cannot tell someone that believes in it to not believe.

[@DontStopJaime]

Kyle Pascoe I did not tell them not to believe, I told them its not real.

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

Jamie Best You realize you are just as annoying as people that stand on a street corner yelling shit about God and religion right? You are just the opinion on the opposite side of the spectrum. No one wants debates about religios beliefs on a youtube music video. Just enjoy the art, k? :)

[@DontStopJaime]

Onlyrealmusic4life I do, though I feel the same way with the comment in that they are screaming god down my throat, I just replied back without being offensive, just realistic. Don't like the fact, don't live in this world go get killed and go to heaven if its such a good place.

[@siewitnessnews]

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I saw that she was doing a cover of this song, but I'm so pleasantly surprised. She really made it her own, while still keeping to the original vibe. LOVE.

[@happyhippymom]

Totally agree with you!

[@kemaranight2456]

I saw "Aaliyah Cover" and got scared because that's some serious territory to tread but I give props, BANKS made it her own. #brayvo

[@yourradiantsoul3825]

+Kemara Night she gave me chills with this! Her talent is seriously insane and I hope she gets hella big!

[@HeyitsBri_]

+Kemara Night I am so pleasantly surprised. I was so prepared to come down here and say something on the lines of "how dare you!" She really did her thing, though

[@cwhite6397]

+Bria D ditto

[@honorificabilitudinitatibu3375]

So? She's just Aaliyah.

[@MrBlactye]

Kemara Night I agree

[@ilicitgrace6840]

I’m here 7 years later vibing still

[@drewsg3]

Never heard of her before today, now I'm a fan. Vocalists on acoustic covers will separate real "talent" from the rest.

[@PaniniWasteland]

The way she uses her voice man!

[@mynameisrits]

This is just sooooo good, Aaliyah would be proud, good job Banks.

[@aboutbenjiis]

- okay i was obsessed with banks before this . as well as aaliyah & this is just some next level ish ; this makes my heart melt , banks you're a goddess 😭🌹 .

[@HeyitsBri_]

I've officially found my new favorite artist. Not many can pull off an Aaliyah cover and not sound like their trying too hard or have the nerve to try to suggest that they have more talent by proving they can't hold a note

[@morticiastewart1123]

10 years later still love it

[@AsiaShamir]

😭😭😭😭😭Aaliyah is my favorite of all time thank you so much BANKS😭😭😭

[@yourradiantsoul3825]

SHE BANGED THISSSSS

[@100fates]

Damn she's slaying.

[@tino5032]

The best Aaliyah cover I've heard

[@ameliaokiyi6629]

I wasn't expecting it to be this amazing

[@PhillieDXO]

Banks you are my best kept secret.

[@brooklyndoran]

i'm so happy that this exists.

[@jesswright121]

7 years late to this, damn! They need to put this on spotify!!!!

[@JeasonBradLewis]

YES!

[@44standaman]

Banks did her thing with this!

[@juliusdennis4671]

I was 14 years old when AAliyah sing Are you that somebody back in 1998 i was middle school this the 2nd Aalyiah cover that i heard so far and i love it It's not carbon copy.

[@_DrSPAM]

BANKS add this to spotify!!!!!

[@aeileen1844]

Always coming back to this cover I luv u Jillian

[@SpiritualWarrior777]

Sacred ground but done beautifully

[@RossardJames]

Banks is goddamn incredible.

[@scsweetie09]

Wow... Would not have thought Banks would do a cover like this. I like it a lot! One of my favorite Aaliyah songs.

[@salinajewell]

you should hear her sing Lauryn Hill Live. AMAZING!!

[@iyan1am824]

this is one of those rare times when I wish I could thumbs something up more than once ! so beautiful

[@SHNERDiGUYo7]

Still love this cover. One of the best #teamAALIYAH 😍

[@iysisolivianna11phoenix97]

I love this her voice is amazing

[@Geminisofye]

i dont really listen to acoustic version of songs but this pretty good.

[@Plus44pb_]

words can't describe how much i'm in love with BANKS

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

It’s 2020 and I’m still hoping this song gets released

[@niarestrepo19]

2021.... 😂

[@alexvidivici2061]

2022 😭

[@MrBlactye]

I'm feeling this cover. This sound amazing. I know Aaliyah would've proud of this. This as an amazing feel to it. To mess with a classic dangerous.

[@pbandjeffy]

GIRL YAAAAAAAAASSS!!!!

[@fethiben-khelifa4022]

This is a legit Aaliyah cover. Nothing but love girl. 1

[@NewToneProducer]

One of my favorite songs of the 90's. Thank you for this!

[@MarZMaconofficial]

She just won me over. This is FLAWLESS! #TeamBANKS

[@ashleyamor3968]

Heard her sing this at Bonnaroo this summer... So incredible!

[@twistedbeautifulstopcmv8631]

Tonight is first night iv even heard of this girl, seriously amazing to say the least. Fell in love with her music and sound of her voice. Def a fave .., whyd i just find out about her!?! Needed her music. Aaliyah would be rockin it out listening to this. RIP Mama your always gonna be untouchable.

[@Idarasunshine]

AMAZING! This is one of my favorite songs! You just made it more awesome!

[@YTcommandcenter]

Too sick. I'm a fan. Now 3rd song I've heard from her. She's nice.

[@lanonymous4898]

ONE OF THE BEST COVERS EVER!

[@-tyrese-7931]

I've been listening to the original all day today. I decided to look up covers for it and saw that one of my favorite singers, Banks made a cover! This is amazing!!!!1

[@ph0kused]

Yooo who was on the acoustic guitar for this??? Some of the chord choices towards the end were crazy

[@elisabethgoose3266]

it's been five years and i still come back to this all the time

[@beccasn8725]

SAME

[@Scxpe97]

Ugh her voice sounds sweet on any song but her covers and references to hip hop are so

[@greatgownsbeautifulgowns]

I'm a 90s kid and a huge Aaliyah fan. I was lucky enough experience and enjoy Aaliyah's talent before she died. With that said, I'd be the first one how to say "OH HELL NO!" if somebody failed at covering one of her songs-- but THIS? Banks did an EXCELLENT job with this cover!

[@clubberben]

undderrated artist i love her so much !!i feel i ve been privileged for listening to her music

[@PatrickKirby-d6b]

Love it thanks ❤❤❤

[@allisondenise8426]

Perfection

[@chocchipcoffeecake]

Omg this is........fire........indescribable

[@Iulita]

A cover that I keep listening to everyday. I simply love it, the voice, the simplicity in the instruments used, it's just perfect. I loved Aaliyah and this song reminds me of her. You should really try to make other covers of Aaliyah like 'If your girl only knew' or 'We need a resolution'.

[@DeeV8night]

Aaliyah has been my favourite since her very beginning. Banks has been also been a favourite since her very beginning. The two melded together=YES👏🏼🔥

I'm 34 years old and def around on this songs peak. Although some lyrics sites show "back" instead of "body" she mosdef says "boy I gotta watch my BODY cuz I'm not just anybody..." Banks got the lyrics right...

[@Basey]

This is an excellent cover of a much loved song and singer. I wish it was on Spotify.

YEssss yesss def feeling the vibes

[@pilarnunes4825]

You so bootyful Banks ❤️ Your voice and style of music makes my heart melt, when my ex and I were still together he hated whenever I played your music. Probably cause he knew your songs were true to our own experiences

this is just too perfect
