Rest In Peace Aaliyah...........



Today makes 9 years since the untimely passing of Aaliyah Dana Haughton, she was only 22 years old.  I just wanted to take the time today to reflect on her life and enjoy her music .  Oh, and ESPECIALLY her videos-big up to "Fatima Robinson" for blessing Aaliyah w/ the dope choreography!  I think most ladies can agree with me and are guilty of trying to practice Aaliyah's dance routines in the mirror,  lmao.  Whether it was "Are You That Somebody", "We Need A Resolution", "One In A Million" or the ever so popular "Rock The Boat" video.  I swear EVERY chic was trying to do that dance.  Don't FRONT, you ain't gotta lie Craig-hahahha.  I know for sure I'm guilty of knowing that routine inside out.  My mama would get sick of me constantly rewinding the video trying to get that wind that Aaliyah used to do down packed, lol. 

With that being said we miss and love you Aaliyah.  Thank you for gracing the music world with your presence, may you rest in peace eternally.  Sidebar-try to teach my mommy some of your moves while she's up there with you and tell her I love her:).....

*FYI- This is Keisha Chante who is supposed to play Aaliyah in an upcoming movie.  Damn she looks just like her-kudos to casting for this one!



*Here are some of my favorite Aaliyah videos:

Music: Song of the day-It's amazing the way a man loves a woman...



*She's Got A Way-Billy Joel

She's got a way about her


I don't know what it is

But I know that I can't live without her



She's got a way of pleasin'

I don't know why it is

But there doesn't have to be a reason

Anyway



She's got a smile that heals me

I don't know what it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me



She's got a way of talkin'

I don't know what it is

But it lifts me up when we are walkin'

Anywhere



She comes to me when I'm feelin' down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around



She's got a way of showin'

How I make her feel

And I find the strength to keep on goin'



She's got a light around her

And everywhere she goes

A million dreams of love surround her

Everywhere



She comes to me when I'm feelin' down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around



She's got a smile that heals me

I don't know what it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me



She's got a way about her

I don't know what it is

But I know that I can't live without her

Anyway
