Time sure does fly. Like many, yours truly can remember exactly where I was upon hearing of the untimely passing of R&B force Aaliyah.
Yet with the 10 year anniversary of the tragedy which robbed the Urban diaspora of one of its brightest lights approaching, BET have opted to celebrate the singer’s short, but oh-so-influential life with a TV special – ‘Aaliyah: One In A Million’. Featuring an all-star cast of contributors, the show will air on August 25th at 8pm ET.
In the meanwhile, check out this sneak peek which sees Aaliyah’s longtime collaborators Missy Elliott and Timbaland reflect on their time with her.

Aaliyah was NOT Killed, GOD said that it was HER time to Go!!, If it wasnt her time then God/Something would have STOPPED her from boarding that Plane in the Same way that HUNDREDS of PPL were Stopped from boarding those 9/11 planes & THOUSANDS more stopped from Making it to work that day.
Anyway, R.I.P AALIYAH:

@S***
I can’t disagree. Our officials on the ground warned them and but it is what it is. A really sad ending for a great talent. She is still missed.
*and shouldn’t be in there.
Miss her, wish she was still here today.

AALIYAH WAS NEVER REALLY A FAVE OF MINE BACK IN THE DAY, AND IT TOOK ME DAMN NEAR 10 YEARS TO REALLY APPRECIATE HER ARTISTRY. HER SWAG, HER DELIVERY, HE ORIGINALITY. IT IS UNMATCHED TIL THIS DAY! R.I.P. BABYGIRL 🙁
Good gravy .. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since her passing. Seems like yesterday my sister and I were dancing along to ‘Are You That Somebody?’ … It really is mind boggling that she is gone likewise the depressing unknown possibility of what she could be right now … The great memories she has given me will always be with me and I thank her for those great times … She truly was talented and a joyous spirit … Rest in Heavenly Peace Aaliyah
Aaliyah was a TRUE artist and she was so classy. Today we have gimmicks like BLEACHonce & Lady Caca. What a shame!
@S*** :
she was killed by them , END OF ! they knew she was afraid of flying and killed her the same way as they kill every celeb who refuse to be controlled by them ” u remember MJ ?!” !
she even had a role before in it she turned into “ashes” ! sadly this happened to her in reality by them cuz she refused to sell her soul for fame ! they knew she was going to be a big superstar like some other R&B divas u know already ! but she refused to be a “puppet” !
when they want to kill someone ! they fight/kill them by his/her worst fears ! it’s a well known thing about them !
aaliayh , 2pac , MJ , amy winehouse and others were killed by them ! they own media outputs already , they give ppl false information as usual ! and u will eat whatever they will serve u ! #sad !
u need to do your research before you talk ! she was a sacrifice ! END OF DISCUSSION !
R.I.P Aaliyah !
@The Iconic Lacefront, co sign 100%. Let’s not forget about the most famous CLONE running around the industry (we all know her name). Baby girl was a true artist. There will be no other. RIP Aayilah. We miss you. I will be watching.
thanks girl 🙂 ! *taking the award* ! “oops: !
i love my gravatars colorful and stylish 8) ! just like yours !
anyway ….. how u doin’ ?! missed u already 😉 !
about aaliyah : yeah …. i was young too , but i like aaliyah since ” rock the boat ” ! she was amazing !
R.I.P baby gurl 🙁 !
RIP Aaliyah We Miss You !!!! Long Live The Princess That Is & Would Be Slaying B****** Careers !
@kim :
yes , bey would have hard time ! but they are both were super talented back in the day !
Aaliyah give you the soul , the janet tea , originality , and smooth real R&B without over-singing any s*** ! what else u can ask her for ?!
R.I.P aaliyah !
have had *
It was her style that got me interested in her. I remember when i was a little kid and i saw this girl with long black hair covering one eye or with the baggy jeans and boxers showing at her waist, while wearing the black shades. Her overall look is what had me interested in her music.
@credits :
yes , she had her OWN STYLE BACK IN THE DAY ! you are totally right 😉

“Yr love is a one in a million, it goes on and on and on….” RIP.
Never before has a tgj post been so solemn RIP Aaliyah 🙁
Its a shame really that people like @pop royalty have to tie a person’s death to some sort of propaganda. I dont kno what your faith is but if its one of the three monotheic religions, u should know nobody will a second longer on earth than they’re destined to. People young/old rich/poor die everyday. Celebs are human beings as well and their lives are no more precious than mine or yours. There doesnot need to be an underlying reason for their deaths Each to their own but i find it bogus and utterly prepostrous
@beyknight :
what propaganda ?!
and did you notice that u didn’t comment on the topic in hand and went for my comment … !
anyway , good day ! i know what i’m talkin’ about ! and faith & religion has nothing to do with that ! stop following @s*** footsteps !
i have an opinion just like yours , and i’m sure she was killed an i’m not alone in that , a lot of ppl believe she was killed , do your own research about Illuminati and u might understand something ! and study those stuffs and tell me what do u think :
blood sacrifice for fame
mk ultra monarch programming
new world order
occult rituals
and more !
u won’t find them at beyonceonline u know 😉 !
#bye !
@pop royalty
There u go again, u are obviously more obsessed w/ Beyonce than i am cus am pretty sure my comment has absolutely nothing to do with Beyonce. I dont live n breathe her. Im a fan and thats where it ends.
I know you’re not d 1st w/ that sentiment but ive never seen it discussed here on TGJ b4 so i reckon its ok to state my opinion on it. I kno all celeb deaths of recent years are tied to illuminati. Apparently Aaliyah, 2pac and MJ died on the same day in their respective years so for some reason their deaths are linked. Was Aaliyah’s post-mortem not conclusive? Anyways im not here to riddle u or get nasty. U stated ur opinion and i stated mine from the standpoint of a believer, let’s leave it at that
Btw i did comment on the topic at hand, read my 1st line. It’d be refreshing to see u reply to a comment without bringing up Beyoncé esp when said comment has nothing to do with the superstar
R.I.P Aaliyah !
Missed Her !! 🙁
R.I.P Aaliyah! U will never be forgotten…. miss her!
I’m so happy that BET are going to do that.I still wish they could put together some kind of a spectacle; something decent; yet big.Just a stage and some good performers to honor her.Still, they have been tributing her for 25 days and they acknoweledge her impact and career.I guess that this is enough proof of her importance to those that doubt her…
We miss you Aaliyah.R.I.P.
OK, I read the last 5-6 comments.I hope this post did not turn into a stan war…
God rest her dear soul……
@Pop Royalty
Please don’t tell me you think the SHITluminati actually exist and consist of today’s popstars??????
I kinda liked this avatar lolololol……..sorry!
R.I.P. Aaliyah, you are sorely missed!
keri hilson could tribute
keri hilson is the king……….
RIP Aaliyah -one in a million
Omg. I loved her beautiful looks and her nice personality and amazing music. I was just watching youtube vids of her the other day. I love her so much! RIP
Aaliyah…..R.I.P.
I can’t wait to see her. The media tried to tarnish her on may occasion but baby girl always kept it moving! I would love to see the R&B/POP landscape had she lived. How would the current list of so called divas fair?
@ISTAN4GAGA :
i started to believe they exist ! but what i know now pop stars are being USED by them , not a part of them ! but either way i’m not gonna hate on artists cuz i liked them ! and if they are being used/ controlled by them , they are considered victims !
so i’m not gonna hate on pop stars even if they are being used by them ! 😉 !
R.I.P AALIYAH !
Check it out the teaser for the UpComing Aaliyah’s SHOW Tribute 10 Years In Europe!! !! :: http://youtu.be/uuyMc0Nm6Vc :: in Belgium !! !! CANT WAIT!!!
