@VA STAND UP!!!
your right, a lot of people give Aaliyah more credit then others might think she doesn't deserve, but there is also the ones like you who completely discredit her. You say that she was only in two movies for her entire career, you fail to acknowledge the fact that she wasn't given the opportunity to star in the countless amounts of movies she was already signed to star in before her death. Her singing, acting, dancing was far from mediocre, I completely disagree with you on that. You make it seem as though everything she did was forgettable, and it could easily be done again, when that definitely is not the case; my point is proven with all the Artists who have tried to do what she has done and failed. I agree with you about the comparisons, she shouldn't be compared to anyone either but it's human nature, if the movie was originally supposed to be for one person who was actually a perfect fit, and then it's given to another who doesn't really have an acting resume, it's natural for people to show disdain for it. Nonetheless Jordin should still be given a chance. You Never know, maybe this could be her role.

Anyway, I don't care for this movie much anyway, regardless to if Aaliyah or Jordin were to star in it. *kanye shrug*
