aaliyah

Her "Choosy Lover" just makes me want to listen to the original, whereas she makes "At Your Best" her own.

looks like they recently added more videos to the official aaliyah vevo account \(^o^)/

THANK YOU BASED MARKERS

lack of hq aaliyah videos on youtube is a crime

I Care 4 U might be one of my favourite songs committed to record. Waltz time! That piano trill! Her vocal performance! Sigh.

You may have a wait there. The Red Album and One in a Million have been out of print in the US for years.

the red album has been out of print? wtf

since at least 2005, if not earlier.

wtf

No, it doesn't make sense.

That's Blackground for you. *shrugs*

...my head hurts.

For the past 3 weeks I have been walking around singing "We Need A Resolution" to myself. I was actually hanging out w this dude I met in Portland and at one point mostly-jokingly said to him "btw I have this bad habit of just spontaneously singing Aaliyah songs at any given moment so just heads up" and then like not 5 min later I was opening a pizza to put in the oven and totally w/o realizing it got all "whass yo' prooooblem / let's resolve" under my breath.

hahaha

^The most amazing Aaliyah song I never heard before.

Ten years today.

RIP babygirl.

listening to one in a million, god i love "i gotcha back"

Hell.

I still get genuinely upset and start thinking "what if they just had a slightly different idea for that music video, what if what if" every time I think about it. But god damnit if Rock the Boat isn't the GOAT.

rock the goat, rock the goat, rock the goat, rock the goat, work the billy

rip babygirl we'll always luv u

just literally face palmed at my desk xpost

TEN YEARS AGO

i'll just go ahead and order my AARP magazine subscription

last.fm'ing the hell out of her catalogue this morning

your smile
your style
is so fly
i can't deny

i was watching mtv news when they reported her death, i still remember being like "how could this HAPPEN?"

i'm devoting the better part of today to listening to her nonstop (like i need any excuse, really)

"never comin' back" <3

I know that "If Your Girl Only Knew" isn't her best song, but for most people it would be, and the fact that she eclipsed that many times over is like...ugh, you are missed girl.

hope you don't think you can throw the line over me
'cause i i know what's going on~~

ran through every song of hers i have on my ipod this morning

It's so weird that I don't remember finding out she died. It happened during a period (probably the last one) where I wasn't paying that much attention to music tho.

Like I feel like I learned of it from a classmate, but I wouldn't have been in school until at least a couple of weeks after it happened.

would have been 33 today, happy birthday

i'm listening to aaliyah and crying right now. it's mad real y'all.
