"Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don't think it's going to be easy. It's hard!" - Aaliyah

Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 - August 25, 2001), better known as Aaliyah, was an American singer, dancer, actress and model. Introduced to audiences by R&B singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland.

Despite her short career, she sold approximately 32 million records worldwide. In addition to commercial success, her collaborations with Timbaland helped shape the sound of R&B in the latter half of the 1990s. She also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger and starred in two motion pictures before her death in a plane crash in the Bahamas. (read more)

What would you do?
To get to me
What would you say?
To have your way
Would you give up?
Or try again
If I hesitated
To let you in
Now would you be yourself

Do you miss Aaliyah? 

Aaliyah was a very talented singer/actress. She left us way too early. She was cut down just as things were starting to take off for her. I don't want to get all nostalgic so I'm going to chill a little. The music industry has moved on, and Beyonce has replaced her at the top of the R&B world. The sound of today may be different but I'll never stop listening to her music.

Her death was a terrible loss but I didn't know her all that well...so I can't really say I miss her like I would if someone I knew died...but she was talented and a good dancer.
