As I said on the thread over there -- my one fervent wish, beyond sympathy for all the bereaved, is that there be no horribly maudlin tribute records. "I'll Be Missing You" or "Candle in The Wind '97" were more than enough.

Of what relevance is the latter part of this sentence:
"Eight people, two women and six men, died in the crash, all of them Americans."
I'm all for having less Americans on the planet, but not under this circumstance. Are the English supposed to release a collective "whew" upon reading that part?

Like I said, she seemed like a solid, nice, mostly clean-cut girl. As for the thing about her plane - it happens, the dynamics of planes are so random at times, they could've thrown in a handful of souvenirs from the island and that could've been the straw, if it was indeed overloading that did in the plane. It's not necessarily a diva- syndrome where her PAs were tossing things against the will of the airport, they could've just not known or figured they weren't adding a lot of stuff so it'd be fine.

And, speaking as someone that ain't exactly Mr. R&B, her newest album is a damn fine album indeed. I, too, am avoiding purchasing said album for the time being, because I don't want the impetus behind me buying her record to be her death.

more cult of the dead. if your neighbour died would you know or care to post this on the internet?
fact remains. you don't know her. i don't know her. i don't think she has the talent of the stars now that she is dead. just being honest, no flaky poetry for me.
I've never even heard of Aaliyah, and that's not a troll.
― Sean, Monday, 27 August 2001 00:00 (11 years ago) Permalink
Quite frankly, I didn't particularly care for most of her music. I didn't feel the need to make it a salient point and come marching into the thread telling people to get off it, though.

SRV was the last one to get me worked up when I was younger. I guess it was inflamatory saying whose death meant more to me rather then saying I just dont care. Its all kinda morbid, like trying to decide who died cooler, JC or JFK.

I remember seeing "Try again" on a hotel tv in Las Vegas back to back with D'angelo's "untitled" and thinking: r&b is going to be something to watch for the next few years. And it was true--for a while.

in all honesty, as despicable is the thought of that would be, i might actually be ok with the idea of this if it means new aaliyah stuff. i wonder if she had any wishes wrt what she would want released if she died, or whether she even had control over that. given the nature of her death the former doesn't seem likely
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 August 2012 01:54 (9 months ago) Permalink
yeah i definitely doubt someone that young dying that suddenly has any kind of documents stating what should be done w/ their uncompleted demos if they suddenly become valuable in the event of their death. but again SOMEBODY in her family and/or her label must have final say over these things. timbaland said he hasn't been contacted about the project but that it shouldn't be done w/o him and missy involved (which is obv true).

yeah you want to say leave it to those two which seems like the right-est thing to do but then again, what have those guys done in the last 5 years that would make you think it'd be any good. aaliyah's music is timeless and singular but also benefitted from some of gthe greatest ever (r kelly, missy, timbo) being on the tops of their games at roughly the same time. if the full tracks are just sitting there that's one thing but if not, who knows if her leftover material will get the complementary help it deserves?

omg dmx i hadn't seen that ilu ilu ilu yesssss
and also bless missy and tim for protecting babygirl's legacy:
Last night, Missy Elliott and Timbaland dropped off two, long-teased new singles at New York’s Hot 97. While there, they spoke with Angie Martinez, adding a new chapter to the winding, sad tale of the rumored new Aaliyah album. “I don’t even know if it’s an album,” Timbaland said. “I don’t think that’s in the works. I don’t know, I think it’s blown out of proportion. I haven’t spoken to Drake yet.” Missy says she hasn’t been contacted either, adding, “No call has been made to me… We’re talking about unfinished music. And we don’t know her reasoning for not putting those records out. Maybe she didn’t feel like they were her best work. We just don’t want to tap into that, just spiritually something else you know… very, very touchy. Unless her parents came in and conducted that.” Timbaland also called Drake’s Aaliyah portrait tattoo into question, saying, “To me, the tattoo part, did that man come in here and show y’all? Like lift up his shirt?”
