I agree! I'm a 97 baby but I grew up on so much Aaliyah's music! The fact that she achieved so much in her 7 year career says a lot about her hardwork and dedication! All of her albums went multi platinum! She was only 15 or 16 when Stevie Wonder wanted to met her which he did. The legendary Whitney Houston complimented her voice and was going to work with her in the movie Sparkle but Aaliyah passed away. The audition track "Giving Up" was for the film. Whitney delayed the movie for years because of that unexpected tragedy. Janet Jackson wanted to collaborate with her as well. Not to mention the fact that Whitney and Janet is the most successful black female artists of the 90s! The Isley Bros gave her both of their tracks. At Your Best and Choosey Lover!

I want if your girl only knew footage!!! That's extremely rare!!!

Such an angel. The way she spoke, sang her songs and the way she carried herself. Truly inspiring. R.I.P, Babygirl. You've left an indelible mark on The Bahamian public. We love you!🇧🇸x🇺🇸

Her voice is as soothing as ASMR ❤️ RIP

Her Amber Brown eyes were truly one in a million. R.I.P. baby girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

[@3rdeyelionheart]

Her death TRAUMATIZED me as a child, and now that I’m 28 going on 29. Seeing her reaction to that young girl wanted to say that she was beautiful left a slight emotional expression on baby girl @9:52 and it lowkey had me tearing up too, when she was describing the little girl. Awwww… I’m still reeling from the affects from her death 20 years later. She was my first crush. In the year 2000 my parents bought me “Now That’s What I Call Music Vol. 4”, just for her hit song from Romeo Must Die film “Try Again!” R.I.P. baby girl. 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢😢😇😇😇😇😇

Aallyah did this interview in 2001, she was 22 yrs old. 20 yrs later we still celebrate her.

[@StefanFerdinand]

20 years have passed and it's surreal. I was 2 when Aaliyah passed but now being 22 years old, she did what she wanted to do and has accomplished so much at the age of 22 but she had so much more to offer. Her beauty, talent, and artistry inspired a new generation. Rest in paradise, Aaliyah, you are forever loved and missed.

[@Ms.MD7]

Aaliyah is just so undeniably naturally beautiful and seems so kind. Her voice is so angelic. I always listen to the song "Miss you" til now.

I was 16 when she passed too!! Still saddens me so much, I had posters of her on my wall & just was so hurt. Worst year of my life, she was a HUGE influence on me since the day Back & Forth came out. 🥺

She said she just woke up. But she’s still gorgeous. Such a natural beauty overall, inside snd out.

There's probably a lot of video footage and music that the public hasn't seen nor heard.

They should release the behind the scenes footage of the More Than A Woman video. I don't understand why it's been under lock and key for 20 years.
