Aaliyah at her best
As I'm typing this, I still can't believe that this talented young woman is gone. She was headed for superstardom, no doubt, when that plane crash cut her life short at the age of 22. But I thank God she left us the music to remember her by...and this song, "Are You That Somebody?" from the Dr. Doolittle soundtrack has got to be one of the best songs she's every done. In fact, this was the only song on that soundtrack that made it worth owning. I love the sound of the cooing baby and the syncopated beats. Timbaland, her producer, really captured Aaliyah's essence on this song. Although Aaliyah could handle both love ballads and uptempo stuff, I think she sounded her best when she sang hip-hop/R&B jams. This is an excellent dance song, and if you ever saw the video, you'll know why! Add this one to your collection....RIP Babygirl, we love you.

She Was That Somebody.
This is one of my favorite Aaliyah songs. I can't think of anyone else who could have pulled this off the way she did. By the time this song's over, you'll find yourself driving along or roaming through the house or the mall, trying to make those infectious baby "coo-ing" sounds. That's just the way Aaliyah's sound is ... she makes you feel jello-y inside. My heart goes out to her family and to the families of those who accompanied her on her journey through the stars. We'll miss you Aaliyah. See you in Heaven sweetie.

Why did she have to leave us here on Earth?
Aaliyah was truly One in a Million. From her debut CD "Age Ain't Nothng But A Number" to her most recent self-titled, Aaliyah had the talent and personality that people loved. She didn't present herself in an immature fashion...and didn't dress too objectionable (ie: britney, christina). This was the single that got me hooked. It was catchy and had good beats. It was very popular among the Urban as well as Pop charts. Aaliyah also helped loosen the gap between R&B/Hip Hop and Pop. She also was good at acting and was beautiful as well. The "High and Exhaulted One" (which is what her name means in arabic) is now out of our hands and joining the greats to Sing for God. We didn't loose a star, we added an angel. But the only question was: why did she have to leave us so early? She will definatly be missed by her fans and the public in general. R I P Aaliyah Houghton ~*1979-2001*~
