a death is always sad but..yeah i was like 12 when she died, so not like i cared or noticed then

i remember the slew of jokes that ensued after her death. while i like her music the jokes were funny. even though it is not nice to make fun of dead people. the funniest one i remember is

"Did you hear Aaliyah was on the radio?"
"No"
"Yeah, she was on the radio....and the windshield and the back of the captain's chair"

it's pretty bad but i laughed at it.

That's what they get for overloading the plane....

Yeah, she's worm food.

Damn you guys are harsh

don't know anything about her, never heard any of her music. i don't feel much for people i never knew, so yea........just another dead person to me.

I only heard about her because she died and because she died towards the end of that crappy vampire movie, still haven't sat through more than 3 minutes of it, based on Anne Rice's character LeStat from the brad pitt/tom cruise movie.

Howard Stern's crack about her death: "Well that's what happens when you travel around with 4 fat bodyguards on a sh**ty little plane."

So what if you're not interested in this thread, there's no need to post some stupid picture. Fucking internet nerds.

Queen of the Damned is one of the worst movies I ever paid money to watch.

Not quite as bad as Torque, or Road House.

There are all sorts of jokes about any famous person who dies tragically.

I aked not about any famoius people, only about AALIYAH....

No I don't remember other jokes.

i'm sure i would, if i knew anything about her.

Considering she died what like 6 years ago?? it's a little hard to remember some jokes from way back then. afterall, they really did not mean anything to me and i did not pay too much attention. Nor did i have the want to retain all the jokes. after all, they were jokes about a deceased person, which is just a tad bit cruel. but hey that may be me :dunno:

A garish gold awning looms above the Trump International Hotel like a middle-finger salute to the rest of the world, letting the countless tourists and joggers making their way into Central Park know that the guests inside are the biggest, the best, and have more money than everyone else...and screw them if they don't like it! Donald Trump may be many things, but subtle is not one of them.
This would mean absolutely nothing, if not for my reason for showing up at Mr. Trump's hotel in the first place: to speak to that coolly understated budding superstarlet of cinema and urban radio, Aaliyah (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1000276). I find it odd that the powers-that-be didn't at her record label, Blackground/Virgin, chose to lodge their subtle, sultry songstress in such a decidedly unsubtle, un-sultry setting. But such are the mysteries of life.
Less puzzling is Aaliyah Haughton's ascendance to the dizzy heights of near-megastardom. After debuting with the rock-solid, R. Kelly (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1014120)-produced Age Ain't Nothing But A Number (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=68727) when she was only 15 years old (was it really seven years ago?), she really found her stuttered, syncopated groove two years later, when beatmeister Timbaland (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1097415) and his cohort Missy Elliott (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1030879) came on board for her sophomore album, One In A Million (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=99069). It was then that she established her niche by meshing the sleek and the stylish with street-savvy, cutting-edge production and beats: Her second album's title track remains a landmark in America's recent urban soundscape, spawning a multitude of copycats. By the time Timbaland scored a double-whammy with "Are You That Somebody?" and "Try Again" (from the Nutty Professor (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=95848) and Romeo Must Die (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=1033947) soundtracks, respectively), producer and artist were seated comfortably on their shared throne within the hierarchy of R&B.
Add to all this Aaliyah's star turn in Romeo Must Die, which proved she has the talent to go all the way in Hollywood, far beyond the cachet of Brandy (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1003522)'s sitcom or Beyoncé (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1032152)'s and Monica (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1018344)'s made-for-MTV movies. In fact, she sees none other than Barbra Streisand (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1025939) as a role model in this regard. ("She did what I'm doing--started off singing and moved into acting and produced--although I think I'll always continue to dance and perform. It's innate.") Aaliyah has already landed more plum leading roles--in the next two Matrix (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=711) sequels and the film adaptation of Anne Rice's Queen Of The Damned. At this rate, she'll soon be hot enough to fry an egg on. Hopefully, she's investing wisely.
"Well, you know, I try, you know," laughs the Michigan-born-and-raised singer/actress, a little embarrassed when I bring up the subject of how all this showbiz activity must be giving her bank account quite a turbo-boost. "Actually, I don't really talk about that side of things too much, because it's very personal, but what I will say is that I'm very involved in every aspect of my career--not just the singing and acting, but I go to all the meetings with the lawyers and accountants and have personal relationships with them. It's very important to have that. I'd say to any artist, 'Be aware of every aspect of your career, because first and foremost, this is a business.'"
The making of Aaliyah's new self-titled album--her second with Timbaland and third overall--had to be scheduled around her busy film career, which might explain why fans had to wait so long for its release. "We started recording this album before I did Romeo," she states. "We did three songs and then had to get into the soundtrack album. Of those songs, 'Rock Da Boat' and 'Loose Rap' made it to this album, so they're a couple of years old. I just knew they were special and I had to keep them."
Aaliyah (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=1079867) was produced and penned by Blackground's in-house crew of beat technicians, musicians, and songsmiths, including the ubiquitous Timbaland, Key Beats, Tank (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1044585), Missy, and dominant songwriter Statik (from the group Playa (http://music.launch.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1031314)), who previously wrote "Are You That Somebody?" and "Try Again." Combining Timbaland's trademark speaker-testing drum 'n' bass beats with some mellow '80s-style jazz-funk and a whole lot more, the new album's highlights include the retro jazziness of "Rock Da Boat" and the infectious, breezy hip-hop/funk of the second single, "More Than A Woman."
Aaliyah considers her musical relationship with songwriter Statik a crucial component in her own self-expression. "We've got to know each other very well. All I have to do is tell Statik what I'm feeling, and he'll just put it into words. We recorded most of the album in Australia, because that's where we were shooting Queen Of The Damned. Statik and Blak [his Playa bandmate, who also worked on the album] referenced the vocals and played the songs for me, and I picked the ones I liked. Then they recorded me in Australia. I told them that I wanted us to talk about things we hadn't talked about before and to really go deep into ourselves.
"Tank wrote the song 'I Can Be,' which has that dark and edgy thing I love," she continues. "It also has a bit of rock 'n' roll. I love to fuse other types of music with my own. The subject matter is talking about being 'the other girl.' It's saying, 'I know you're in a relationship, but I'll be the other person in your life.' Now, I'm sure everyone will take that differently, but my take on it is the girl in the song is saying that she's really not happy with that--she wants to be number one. Those things can happen in life, and it's a sad situation, so the song has that feeling to it."
Another song with attention-getting lyrics is "Never No More," which deals with the subject of spousal abuse. "When Statik wrote that, I went over and hugged him. We had talked about the topic first and agreed, 'We've got to go there.' I feel my image and signature style is very unique, and I never want to be afraid of trying different things."
Certainly different for Aaliyah was playing the part of Akasha, mother of all vampires, in Queen Of The Damned--a role that obviously appealed to her dark side. "I remember reading the script when I was doing Romeo...I'm an Anne Rice fan, and knew I had to do this role," she recalls. As an actress, Aaliyah definitely prefers dark and eerie roles: "I would have loved to have played Clarice Starling in Silence Of The Lambs (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=57216), which is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's the best adaptation of a novel I've seen other than The Godfather (http://music.launch.com/album/default.asp?albumID=149894)."
By why so dark all the time? "I can't help it!" she exclaims. "I'm a complex person! It's part of Aaliyah. What people don't know about me is that I've very kind and jovial, but there are also times when I'm very melancholy. When I'm with my close friends and my family--I'm very close to my parents [who are also her managers] and my brother--we laugh all the time. I love comedy as much as I love my dark side and vampires and Silence Of The Lambs."
Starring in Queen Of The Damned proved quite a challenge for the young actress. "I met the director and did a few work sessions with him. It took a lot to bring [the character] to life. I rehearsed for a month here in New York and another month in Australia. [Akasha is] Egyptian, so I worked with an accent coach and we came up with a hybrid of American and Egyptian. Then I also worked with choreographer to get the movement of vampires down, especially her, because she's the queen and very statuesque. She's very evil, extremely powerful, and she's a bit of a brat because she's so young. She's used to getting what she wants. So it was a real challenge for me to play all those sides to her."
Aaliyah also admits that all the blood-sucking that the movie required didn't come easily. "This role was also the first time I had to do a little love scene, which I was very nervous about!" Aaliyah giggles nervously. "However, as a character she's very manipulative and very sexual, so I had to put my shyness to the side and be Akasha. The scene took place in a hot tub filled with roses. Once I got over the shy part, it was a lot of fun."
In reality, the sometimes-shy Aaliyah is a model of understatement, just like her music. She's beautiful, but hardly in a high-gloss, supermodel way--more like a really good-looking girl next door. And rather than bling-blinging her ice in a ghetto-fabulous manner befitting her Trumped-up surroundings, she blings on the down-low: A subtle bracelet here, a winking pendant there, offset by her simple black jeans and matching sweater. Trés cool. "There are so many different kinds of pressure in this business, but you can't let it be but so pressurizing," states Aaliyah when discussing the high expectations surrounding her film career, her new album, and the darkly exotic video to the single "We Need A Resolution," in which she writhes around with live snakes. "I put a lot of pressure on myself to be true to myself and not let anything else influence me to do what someone else is doing. Being a little edgy and sexy is me. My image isn't a put-on. I'm happy to put over that dark edge in my videos, because it's always been there. I used to wear my sunglasses or have my hair over one eye a lot more when I was younger. [Now] I'm happy with all aspects of myself."

VOILA!!!! IT IS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL AALIYAH!!!

Dude, you're obsessed. Don't you think you're being a bit extreme? I mean, I 've got this thing for Patsy Cline, and she died in a plane crash along with other music stars, but you don't see me obsessing about it.

and to think i just read all of that article. :shakehead:

whom is aaliyah NOW?

she's still aaliyah. idiot. she's just dead.

sux, she had potential. but yeah, just another artist that bit the dust, unfortunately.

^quite. besides, if you're gonna make a big deal about it, how about Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly dying in a plane crash totally beats out some new wannabe r&b singer. R&B isn't what it used to be anyhow. Her career was as far as some American Idol contestants. Big whoop...

Moderator's Note: AF is an English speaking board. Please speak English only.

so...who cares her death?
especially 5 years after aaliyash's demise?

she's dead. get over it.

Aaliyah is a corpse who once could sing, but can't any more, making her a run of the mill corpse.

Yes, she's as worm eaten as anyone else that's been dead and buried for 5 years.

I don't think her albums will still be popular in 40 years, or even in 20, like some artists' are.

maybe a more respect toward AALIYAH?
She has so exceptional hits like "try again" and "age ain't nothing but a number" with r. kelly...it is legend of RnB from 90'years...
so many people notes that she is so class,not slutty, truly exceptional....
call her "ANGEL"...SHE HADN'T SOME BAD RUMOURS ARROUND HER, she was normal cool girl....
"rotting corpse"? she was embalmed so i don't think that she rotted....

urnalm, I have a question. Why are you so crazy about Aaliyah? Did you ever meet her?

(And, all bodies eventually rot when buried)

She has so exceptional hits like "try again" and "age ain't nothing but a number"

please, those are little blips compared to her biggest hit "One in A Million". you talk about her like she is a god or something and yet you didn't even mention her biggest hit, not to mention how many records that album sold.

Bury the B**$H and forget about her. The rest of the world will in 3mnths when some other pretty little girl with an easy to digtaly enhance voice comes along and sucks the right producers cock or has family already in the indusry. (as Alihya did, she didtn get famous of Talent, she got famous of Contacts from her Aunt.)

And why are you all upset and concerned about some pretty face?
There are far more powerful and significant people in the world who you should be morning.
Mother Terresa?
Ronold Ragan? (he might as well be dead)
There was a Britsh Reported who recently died as well, who is reknown for helping destroy apthied in south africa, but the news is so full of some silly little almost "pop" star that I cant remember his Name. And he did a lot more for the world than Alihya ever did, or could ever do.

Get over it, poeple die every second, her death was no more or less special. (unless your her manager, in which case you now need to find another source of income. :biggrin: )

She's dead. It's not like she just died. She had potential, thats it. Unfortunetly she will most likely be forgotten. Ain't nothing more that you can do. Stop, please!

Dude, you're starting to get really disturbing, it's almost like you want to do necrophillia on her corpse or something, just drop it, OK?

Rock and roll died with Buddy Holly

LET ME LAST QUESTION, PLEASE..........

who is responsible for AALIYAH death in plane crash?
what do you think?

LET ME LAST QUESTION, PLEASE..........

who is responsible for AALIYAH death in plane crash?
what do you think?

On August 25, 2001, about 1845 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 402B, N8097W, registered to Skystream Inc. and operated by Blackhawk International Airways Inc, as a 14 CFR Part 135 air taxi flight, crashed shortly after takeoff from runway 27 at Marsh Harbour Airport, Bahamas. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. A VFR flight plan was filed, but not activated. The airplane was destroyed, the commercial-rated pilot and eight passengers were fatally injured. The flight was originated at the time of the accident and was destined to Opa-Locka, Florida. The airplane was seen lifting off the runway, and then nose down, impacting in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27. The baggage from the airplane was removed and weighed. The total weight of the luggage, fuel on board at the time of the accident, plus the weight of the passengers showed that the total gross weight of the airplane was substantially exceeded. Preliminary center of gravity calculations showed that the center of gravity was significantly outside the flight envelope past the aft center of gravity. Preliminary information indicated that the pilot was not approved to act as pilot-in-command in the accident aircraft under 14 CFR Part 135. The owner of Blackhawk International Airways Inc, Mr. Gilbert Chacon, has only communicated to investigators through his attorney, and has not produced the aircraft or engine logbooks. The complete maintenance history of the airplane is unknown. The engines and airframe were torn down and examined at Marsh Harbour; no discrepancies were found. The propellers will be shipped to Miami, Florida, for examination at a later date. The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Civil Aviation, Nassau, Bahamas. This report is filed for informational purposes only and contains that information released by the Bahamian authorities. For additional information contact: Director of Civil Aviation, Bahamas P. O. Box N-975 Nassau, N. P. Bahamas Phone: (242) 326-0339

Ultimately, it was the overloading of the plane that caused the crash.

The pilot should not have let his plane be overloaded. He is the captain, his word was law and the passengers should have respected that.

The passengers should have listened to the pilot and adhered to the weight limits. I understand that they had a whole lot of heavy equipment that they wanted loaded on the plane, and the report says it was "substantially overloaded".

IMO the pilot was to blame, for trying to take off in an overloaded aircraft that was out of weight and balance. Although it can be difficult to stand up to 8 passengers and your employer.

Still don't care.

she's dead. get over it. are you one of those people with a basement where ever inch of wall is covered with pictures an posters of her? quit your bitching and get over it. it's just sad that you're going on about it. no one here cares.

Ok... I met her... My dad is very good friends with her family. I had a crush on her when she was alive. She was a good artist and I think her status now is a R&B artist who was just beginning to blossom in her career, but she was tragically taken away. She was beautiful and should be remembered and her musical contributions appreciated thats it; just like Left Eye and other young artists who have died. IF I heard a joke about her death, I most certainly wouldnt laugh, but it was foolish to over load the plane. You cant beat the laws of physics

So...who Overloaded The Plane?

Aaliyah Herself?
Did She Can To Shout For Pilot?
I Don't Believe...

This thread has become pointless. Time to close it.

1. speak english, no one knows what the hell you're saying.
2. get over it, she's dead. nothing you can do about it.
3. shut the hell up, that's the most important one.
