... but at least they are under a doctors care. They are not getting the stuff that my daughters dealer supplied her with that took her young life.

A Look At Her Lasting Impression On Style

... very sexual and modern but yet has the influence of Baby Girls' touch.”. Elsewhere, Gigi Hadid’s recent collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger echoes the looks Aaliyah wore in her 1996 campaign for the brand. “It was obviously an homage,” notes Lee. “A lot of brands, like Fila, did that vintage ’90 s look this past year.”. It’s not just the singer’s fashion sense that still resonates today. Her influence on beauty is also robust. A __link__ fan petition urging M. A. C. Cosmetics to create an “Aaliyah for M. A.

... performance. Engine failure was also suspected to be one of the causes. The following is an excerpt from Fox News detailing this. “A heated argument about the weight of equipment erupted between the pilot of the plane carrying singer Aaliyah and her video crew minutes before their tragic Bahamas crash, sources told The New York Post Sunday.”. “The pilot, who thought the plane was being dangerously overloaded, gave in, according to veteran Bahamian charter pilot Lewis Key, who said he overheard the dispute just before the plane took off and then crashed, killing all aboard.”. “‘With nine people and all the camera and sound equipment they were loading, the pilot kept saying, ‘There’s too much weight for a safe flight to Opa-Locka [Airport in Miami],’ Key told The Post.”.

The Sad Reason Aaliyah's Music Has Disappeared From The Internet

... "The Inexplicable Online Absence of Aaliyah's Best Music."  In it, How Music Got Free author Stephen Witt notes how Aaliyah's online absence is remarkably different from almost every other popular artist that has held out on digital distribution. Digital voids like these can result from legal battles over uncleared samples (as with De La Soul), or from musicians holding out for better royalty terms (the Beatles, until recently). Other times they’re the result of ideological stands against the devaluation of artistic output (Joanna Newsom), or cranky nitpicking about audio quality (Neil Young). But Aaliyah’s internet absence is different—there’s no logic to it. It’s not an artistic statement or a play for more money, and there’s no dedicated Aaliyah-only streaming service in the works. Instead, there’s a single, stubborn man, sitting on a catalog that includes almost all of her most famous work, as well as albums from Timbaland and Toni Braxton, and a trove of unreleased original material that’s never before been ...

Thembisa Mshaka On What Aaliyah’s Future Career Could’ve Been

... Storm in any X-Men film. She would be a perfect Mary Jane to a new Spider-Man, or the funny, but unfadeable action shero co-star to everyone from Jamie Foxx to Ben Stiller. Aaliyah would be right at home as the voice-spoken and sung of today’s animated films where fierce, but vulnerable woman characters rule—from Mulan, to Zootopia to Moana—these stories are totally in her wheelhouse of portraying beguiling, brave, adventurous and authentic characters. And as far as endorsements and brand collaborations… Aaliyah simply would have dominated in this space: beauty, fragrance, automotive, hair care, skin care couture design. We all missed out on seeing her stunt at the Met Ball, or present at award shows in Gaultier, Tracy Reese or Tom Ford. Or melt the screen in a commercial for, well, anything. All that luxuriant hair cascading out of a racing helmet, with her ...
