Controversial: Aaliyah Biopic To Explore Singer’s “Relationship” With “Predatory” R.Kelly

Published: Tuesday 24th Jun 2014 by David

After announcing that they were to tell the story of R&B singer Aaliyah through a biopic, ‘Lifetime’ have announced that the movie will take the bold step to explore the singer’s “relationship” with mentor R.Kelly.

Responsible for penning her interestingly titled ‘Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number’, Kelly’s recent duet with Pop star Lady GaGa saw him face fresh criticism over his dealings with the then teenager, labelled a predator for his alleged targeting and subsequent sexual abuse of African-American teenage girls.

Full story below…

On Kelly’s part in the movie, executive-producer Debra Martin Chase revealed:

Aaliyah’s personal and professional relationship with R. Kelly will be explored with care in the film as we set out to depict her life with the utmost respect. Above all else, it’s our hope to inspire an entirely new generation with her music and larger-than-life talent.

 

Indie Wire adds:

The two singers were allegedly married in 1994, when Aaliyah would’ve been only 15 years old to R. Kelly’s 27. Although they denied it, a marriage certificate later  surfaced, with her age falsely listed as 18 (her parents were later said to have annulled the marriage).  

 

Indeed, contrary to R&B folklore, Haughton’s parents were not aware of the 15 year old’s illegal marriage to Kelly, and set out to cut ties between the pair once learning of it.

This, cited as one of many reasons behind their attempt to block the movie’s production, coming years after MTV reported that Kelly’s brother,Carey Kelly, accused the star of molesting their 12 year old cousin, and attempt to do the same to their older brother’s daughter.

    R.Kelly really disgusts me. How can take advantage of a young teenage girl like that? F****** P********.

    • eric June 24, 2014

      Now the filmmakers will take advantage of her. Aaliyah would not want this, which is evident from the way she led her life.

  2. Mark111 June 24, 2014

    They have to tell that story, it’s part of her life. Believe it or not, a lot of t*** girls fall victim of older men, you can tell a child anything. I think this would good for the girls and women that been in this situation and how to rise above it. Remember Aaliyah isn’t the one in the wrong, R Kelly is and he done this to a lot of girls with his superstardom.

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      Hey Mark111!

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Hey Ozzy, I couldn’t pass on this topic.

  3. JanetXone June 24, 2014

    The problem is that they’re gonna make it seem romantic when it wasn’t. That’s why her mom is against it because she knows they won’t tell the truth.

  4. Lana Tropicana June 24, 2014

    This generation is much more intelligent than the one before 2bh. Back in the day people thought the relationship was cute.

    • CzarM June 24, 2014

      No one at the time thought their relationship was cute when it was revealed that there was more to it than just professional. Aaliyah suffered a huge backlash after a first few hits that threatened to end her career before it even really took off. She was heavily booed at the 1995 Soul Train Awards when her nomination was called. She probably had at least two more potential hits from her debut album, but by that time the controversy had happened and no one wanted to hear from Aaliyah and instead turned to Brandy. If anything, these days people would be more prone to excuse it since we’re living in this uber sympathetic “don’t judge…don’t bully…be nice…” era.

  5. BarbBey June 24, 2014

    One check is all it will take for them to make R Kelly look like an angel in this sham of a movie.

  6. Molly June 24, 2014

    No shade but where were her parents?

    • MadameMonica June 24, 2014

      Her uncle was acting as her guardian so they probably thought they could trust him.

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        Oh ok i didn’t know that.

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      No shade, but where’s baby Future parent?

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        Where they need to be taking care of business.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        What he need to be is taking care of his 4 kids by 4 different women.

    • Beygency June 24, 2014

      EXACTLY! How does your child have a relationship with, much less marry a grown ass man & you aren’t able to stop it before it gets to that point. She was 15 for goodness sakes! Who was in charge of her?

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        That’s what im sayin boo i find it very odd smh.

    • Kareem June 24, 2014

      Okay! Thank you someone finally said it.

    • barb 4 lyfe June 24, 2014

      Lol Okay!!!!!!

  7. FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

    Just like Jayz took advantge of Riwhoranna when she was a t*** and he brought her to the music execs in the states to have their way with her an turn her into Industry Puss!!!!!

    Kii

    • Molly June 24, 2014

      So your saying jay z whored Rihanna out?

      • FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

        ….Good Girl Gone Slutty.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      Tell it Bitchh! Yes! Jay Z is the one responsible for turning her into “The Industry Pusay”! And her ass is luving it kiii

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Irony is that he pimps his wife the most.

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        The Irony is him and Dame was running train on your fav on the regular, because they knew she was Industry Pusay kii

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Irony that Matthew was pimping his child for movie role. Does Robert Townsend ring a bell?

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Boi byeeeeeeeee lol. You mad that Kelly turnt Aaliyah into Industry Pusay and Jay turnt Hoeianna into one kii kii

    • The Bajan Princess June 24, 2014

      But Jay Z didn’t discover nor bring Rihanna to the states f*****. Tell ciara to call Jazze Phlop then maybe she can get a platinum album again.

  8. Mark111 June 24, 2014

    One of the 3LW girls said this. When you’re a t*** in this biz, you tend to date older guys because you have nothing in common with the guys your age. You’re a star, traveling around the world while they’re in school. Miley was 17 and dated a guy that was 20, Brandy was f****** that Boys II Men guy at 15/16 while he was 23. Monice was 16 when she was messing around with C Murda who was 10 years older than her. And let’s not forget Beyonce and Jay Z who is over 10 years older (and don’t tell me they weren’t talking in that Amil video when she was 17. Even Alica Keys said she dated a guy in his late 20’s when she was 16. One difference is Kelly has a history and was a predator, that’s how things got as far as it did. It’s all sick.

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      Where were their parents? Sadly, back then, parents weren’t as aware as they are now. It’s the same as parents letting their kids travel with their pastor and find out that their pastor were messing with them. Even the MJ case, rather it was true or not, where were those parents? People get star strut and forget their common sense. But in Aaliyah’s case, R Kelly was her mentor, so it wasn’t strange that they were together, plus he was a friend to the family, I’m sure they trusted him. Sadly you can’t trust anyone.

  9. Mark111 June 24, 2014

    These Ciara stans are talking when she had more rappers in her than the damn BET Hip Hop awards. Even her son popped out looking like a G Unit hype man with a ghetto name to match.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      But Ciara was never known as Industry Pusay like your favs kii

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Yea, Ciara isn’t known at all in this industry. And Beyonce doesn’t know her graduation class.

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Lol U can tell I’m WINNING because your bitchh ass always has to result back to who graduated it not lmfaoooooooooooo

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        *or not *

    • Did ya say Justin Bieber,Lady Gaga,Rita Ora,Miley Cyrus,One Direction,JCole,Tlc or Beyoncè June 24, 2014

      mama done said dont talk ill of tha dead but im sick of ya throwin shade and expectin no one tah say s*** cause u stan for Aaliyah…Aaliyah was an industry puss,she was gettin passed round more often than hot gossip at em hair saloons..Deal b****

  10. DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

    Smh @ R.Kelly. Your own nieces???? I hope his brother was lying. That shiit has ruined some of his legacy. I do believe the R.Kelly relationship should be in the movie though. Tina Turner told her whole story in her movie. The thing is Aaliyah isn’t here to tell anything, so someone in her family needs to be involved.

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      I agree, it is so disgusting for a grown man to do this to a young girl at the time. They need to expose his nasty ass forreal.

  11. Did ya say Justin Bieber,Lady Gaga,Rita Ora,Miley Cyrus,One Direction,JCole,Tlc or Beyoncè June 24, 2014

    I know how it be feeling to be r****/used..I was in pre school when s*** done got down,Aaliyah was 15 an she aint see nun wrong with this..I wish Allah had done made me 15 at tha time,i woulda been smarter and it probably wouldnt have happened.

  12. RoyalKev June 24, 2014

    I can’t help but feel like we do these artists a disservice by exploiting everything about their lives after death. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to know some private things about Aaliyah. It just isn’t our place to dig into her personal life. Who cares about a Robert Kelly, I’m mainly concerned about Aaliyah’s legacy. These musicians are often used up, giving so much of themselves, just to be later made a mockery of. Aaliyah was a mystery and that’s what was a part of her allure. Sometimes you have to respect that.

  13. CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

    Off topic but is what they’re saying about Lana’s new album true? She’s promoting partner violence and saying that feminism is boring and not a good thing? Absolute death. Wtf is this thing thinking? SCREAMS

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      We’ll get to that right after we find out who the hell is Cheryl.

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Literally the most popular and recognized pop female in the uk. Stop making yourself look stupid lmao. But ppl in the us are saying the same about Aaliyah right? Who knows her outside if the urban community? Honestly.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        You’re stupid, she was an R&B star. Why would she cater to pop listeners? But the thing is, Aaliyah was succesfull in the UK and Japan plus here in the States. Why is Cherry or whatever her name is so… local? #WrongSideOfAnIsland

      • The Bajan Princess June 24, 2014

        More people know Aaliyah than Cheryl Cole. 🙁

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        But answer my question. Who knows her now? You always ask the same question, but cheryl is literally the most recognizable pop star in the uk along with Adele. Who of the general public remembers Aaliyah? She’s just that girl who died in the plane crash. So stop that tired, idiotic, hypocritical “shade” and try to get people to remember your fav in her own country.

      • ozzy June 24, 2014

        Gurl when are you gonna get on twitter??

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Me?

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        B**** my girl is an icon. First successful R&B at age 15. Set the standard and trend for the other young first name only singers to come after (Brandy, Monica, Mya, Ashanti, Beyonce, Ciara, Rihanna and others). First to ware baggy jeans and a top with s**, class and edge. First to have a #1 hit off of radio play ALONE. First to have 2 double plat albums before the age of 18. At least she’s remembered. Like I asked, what is a Cherry boom boom?

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        You still haven’t answered my question. Why do people not know her today if she’s an icon? Absolute death at your inability to answer it. And cheryl has more number 1s btw, so we’re unphased. Exactly who remembers her other than as the girl who died in the plane crash right before 9/11? Really tho..

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        B**** you’re delusional to the max. Her death is apart of her legacy. They talk about her music, her influence, her style. The same as people talks about MJ and Whitney’s death. Are you serious?

        But no one is talking about Cheers cause no one knows what or who she is.

    • idgi June 24, 2014

      Forever talking about Lana rather than your own fave, aren’t you embarrassed? Lmao do you even know who Cherly is? You stay lurking for Lana and opportunities to bring her up randomly in posts that don’t concern her.

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Sorry, most of the time I’m trolling Rosie, but this is a serious topic. Who are you btw?

  14. Yonce June 24, 2014

    Sorry but Aaliyah was a ho3.

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      Society is so f***** up! A grown ass man taking advantage of a 15 yr old makes her the hoee? What does that make R.kelly then?

  15. idgi June 24, 2014

    Pathetic. And I’m someone who isn’t lurking and waiting to talk about someone I don’t care for constantly over my own fave.

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Why are you commenting on your own post? And why are you always replying to my posts? Who are you btw?

      • barb 4 lyfe June 24, 2014

        Cheryl you have sick obsession with lana smh

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Hm maybe i should’ve waited lol.

      • idgi June 24, 2014

        I’m commenting on my own post because I didn’t press the reply button by mistake and I corrected my typo, duh… And I don’t always reply to your post, I reply to a few people here like it is any of your concern. And you don’t need to know who I am, like I don’t need to know who you are, I’m a TGJ commenter just like everyone else here we don’t give a f*** who each other is.

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        You’re always on my posts tho. Always. More hypocritical shade. And who are you?

      • idgi June 24, 2014

        Nope, I don’t. I had a convo with you one time “tho” unless you’re jotting it down on a notepad every time someone responds to your stupidity, idk?

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Lies lmao. Stay seething tho. Is this Rosie?

      • idgi June 24, 2014

        Seething at what? You being a stalker? And wow you think I’m Rosie… You’re actually paranoid. But then again since I don’t think you’re a real cherly Stan but using this as some sort of alias to talk about Lana I should expect nothing less that you think I’m someone else. Unlike you I don’t have time for multiple accounts, its just a comment section on a messy blog site, its not that serious.

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        How is “cheryl soldier” an alias? Dumb f*** Hahahah. Babe if you weren’t a scared b**** then you wouldn’t hide your fav.

      • idgi June 24, 2014

        Lmao. I don’t hide who my fave is, my fave gets like 200+ comments in a post its easy for my comment to get lost in it all. Unlike Cherlys posts where the comments are normally “who?” Don’t take it out on me no one knows who you Stan for and that you’re her only fan here. Goodbye.

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Who is your fav tho? Why are you hiding? Who are you?

  16. Brian310 June 24, 2014

    All this noise about the movie and i’m sure it isn’t gonna happen, I think when this marriage got annulled NO ONE was allowed to discuss it otherwise im sure we would have heard the details about it a long time ago.

  17. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    This Cheryl Stan is so annoying. Also perched and bringing up Lana cause no one cares to talk about local fav who no one knows besides bootyhole-less twins in the UK. Aaliyah was very successful worldwide.

    AANBAN – 6,000,000 WW ( 2,000,000 in US)
    One In a Million – 10,000,000 WW ( 2,000,000 in US)
    Aaliyah – 2,600,000( idk if this is ww or us sales)

    The second album being on Rolling Stones greatest albums of all time list.

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Babe, I posted about Lana because tgj isn’t going to post about it and it’s all over the web today. But again, why is Aaliyah not remembered by a large majority of ppl in her home country if she’s an icon? And stop with that cheryl shade when your fav literally stans for cheryl. SCREAMSS

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Both of your favs stan for cheryl*

  18. Summertime Sadness June 24, 2014

        Just peaked at your girls discography. I think the whole neighborhood heard my scream

  20. Mariah carey June 24, 2014

    Seriously who remembers aaliyah anymore? Everyone only remembers her because she died in a plane crash no shade and I love Aaliyah she was good at what she did but the new generation does NOT know Aaliyah…and I’m dying at the fact that y’all calling her icon she’s clearly not, was she building her career towards icon status Absolutely but unfortunately she’s passed away you can’t just throw the word icon to everybody, Aaliayah could have been one of the greatest but she’s not she died at her height of career but she’s no Icon.

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Thank youuuuuuuu!!!

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      ^This w**** is making 2nd accounts and talking to her/himself. SAD!

      • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

        Uh receipts? And you just compared Aaliyah to mj, losing all credibility.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        After this I’m done with your dumb ass. I was giving an example of one’s death is apart of their legacy. You can’t tell a story without the beginning and end.

  21. CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

    Oops sorry for bringing Lana up but I wanted ppls opinion!! Sorry @rosie when you see this lmao

  22. FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

    Kiii TGJ deleting my comments!

    Aaliyah was a HO3

    IDGAF!

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Ooop. Giiiirl!!

      • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

        Aaliyah got around that’s for sure. Lol

  23. Molly June 24, 2014

    I don’t know much bout Aaliyah but its obvious she was a fast little girl with little supervision smh she’s no legend or icon so stop it Katy perrys done more than her but yall would never call her a legend or icon.

    • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

      Katy perry is joke she would never be an icon she would be know as the biggest joke in the industry

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        But katy has still had more success than Aaliyah… i don’t see how Aaliyahs a legend or icon when she hasn’t even had major success like that. just saying babe

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      No shade molly, but didn’t Aaliyah directly influence your fav? How could you have not heard of her?

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        Not imo opinion but she did inspire Ciara but Ciara is her own artist she not like rita ora and ariana who copy everything from Rihanna and Mariah.

      • ozzy June 24, 2014

        I didnt say COPY but influenced. Aaliyah definately influenced Ciara the most after Janet. How can you shade her. A little hypocritical in my eyes.
        Pot calling the kettle black.

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      Yet your fave copied that “unknown” girl every move. Icon does not equal sales. Hell Backstreet boys sold alot, no one is calling them legends nor icons. A icon is the image/artistry/creativity. Aaliyah set the standard for all those young R&B girls that went on and opened the doors for the Britneys and Xtinas later that year.

  24. CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

    I literally asked some friends if they knew Aaliyah and they said “who?” SCREAMMM #icon

  25. Mariah carey June 24, 2014

    And dead at brining cheryl Coles name in a Aaliyah she might be unknown in America but doesn’t make her less of an artist she’s huge in the UK and Europe she might not be the most talented but she’s def doing something right if she’s making millions I wouldn’t care if I’m popular in the UK, America or all
    Over the world as long as I’m making millions that’s all jt matters some artist can be extremely popular but doesn’t mean they’re making a tons of money.

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      Yessssss. She’s literally one of the most recognizable names in the uk. She literally chills with the royals

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        ^and still talking to itself. LOL!!!!!

  26. Molly June 24, 2014

    You gotta chill @Cherylsolider

    • CherylSoldier June 24, 2014

      I was wrong for bringing Lana up, but I’m tired of the “who” “shade” just because people only know about what’s big in the us, like the us = the world.

      • Molly June 24, 2014

        I know but instead of being messy post videos and help recommend her songs to people who don’t know her i never had an issue with Cheryl until you started coming for Ciara. We can call a truce boo its nothing cause i don’t hold grudges.

  27. ozzy June 24, 2014

    SMH at y’all dragging Aaliyah. LMAOOOOOO. No shade but Aaliyah directly influenced all these R&B whisperers of the 2000’s. If anything, YOU should be paying homage LMAOOO

    • FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

      DEATH That you got suspended by Twitter Moderators!!!!! Kiii

      They sent your ass right back to TGJ where you belong!

      #1Chop !!!!

      • ozzy June 24, 2014

        B****, i blocked you on twitter. Get yourself a new wig.

      • FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

        Thats fine I blocked you right back…. But Twitter still suspended your account at the end of the day dahling!!! DEATH!!!

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        How can you block someone and still findout they were suspended?

      • FutureCIARA June 25, 2014

        Because it notified me that the account was in suspension….

  28. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    Death at Molly saying Katy has done more than Aaliyah. Katy used payola for her numbers 1s and her album sales are a joke. Aaliyah has outsold every Katy album with just one. Where are Katy’s movies, where are Katy’s on antibodies greatest of all time list. Katy is literally the Paula Abdul of this generation.

    • Molly June 24, 2014

      Ok but katys still done more at the end of the day discrediting Katy won’t make Aaliyah more relevant.

      • Skyfall June 24, 2014

        Katy hasn’t done much but release generic music, Katy slays when it comes singles but she fall short everywhere else. No acclaim, no talent, basic looks. She matched Mjs record for 5 #1s singles on an album yet her album only sold 4.6 million WW even after a re release, and save the albums don’t sell anymore excuse because…21, Loud, and Born This Way all outsold it with less #1s, even 1D outsold her and they don’t even have a #1 in the states

        Everything Katy has done is tied to the bill oars hot 100, once an artist career dies down you don’t talk about their billboard success you talk about their music/albums and the impact they left and sorry to say but Aaliyah revolutionizing the late 90s/early 00s R&B is more impactful than anything Katy has done.

      • Brian310 June 24, 2014

        *billboard

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      Katy has absolutely done more than Aaliyah although the b**** is tacky as f***, she’s successful.

      • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

        Gurl bye being more successful and having fast good number ones doesn’t mean you have done more you’re comparing quality over quantity lol katy perry is a joke she has done nothing new of fresh everything that she’s doing is already been done she could be popular and have tons of number ones doesn’t make mean she’s done “a lot” just like the saying you can put lipstick in a p** but is still p**, Katy can have all the number ones and success but she’s still untalented and she brings nothing new.

    • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

      Gurlll bye you’re an ignorant! Paula Abdul is an icon in her own right how dare you compare that garbage of Katy perry to Paula Abdul? You do know that Paula is dancer and most of the dance moves that you see by popular artist like britney, and many theater plays she was the choreographer. She’s extremely successful Behind the scene so have several seats with your ignorance.

    I screeeeeamed when I found out Twitter banned & Suspended your account! It was truly a kii

    How does that make you feel?

    You wasnt doing s*** on there anyway but dedicating your tweets to me from the start!
    Twitter Moderators told you to keep your ass on TGJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    Katy hasn’t done much but release generic music, Katy slays when it comes singles but she fall short everywhere else. No acclaim, no talent, basic looks. She matched Mjs record for 5 #1s singles on an album yet her album only sold 4.6 million WW even after a re release, and save the albums don’t sell anymore excuse because…21, Loud, and Born This Way all outsold it with less #1s, even 1D outsold her and they don’t even have a #1 in the states

    • Benji June 24, 2014

      Shes still done more than Aaliyah though lol #Fact

      • Brian310 June 24, 2014

        You mean # opinion…fact is 13 years later she Is still being talked about and has remain a topic of conversation pretty much every year even after death, this generation has to realize that hot 100 success isn’t much if that’s all you got.

  31. Molly June 24, 2014

    All im saying is that Katys done way more than Aaliyah but yall would never call Katy an icon or legend but Aaliyah is? Why because she died?

    • Brian310 June 24, 2014

      On the hot 100 your absolutely right but when it comes to music what more has she done…I mean katy has tied 1 billboard record which if we want to take it there Aaliyah also has a hot 100 record she broke open.

  32. Stephy June 24, 2014

  34. Skyfall June 24, 2014

    When I said Aaliyah has done more I was also talking about comparing Aaliyah’s first 3 albums with Katy’s 3 albums.

  35. Stephy June 24, 2014

    If, Aaliyah was alive her career would’ve been cancelled by Beyonce just like the rest of those girls. Lets just be honest…

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      Except for Rih ofcourse…

      • FutureCIARA June 24, 2014

        Gorl…

    • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

      And you know that how? Aaliyah was already a well established artist and she had a really successful movie “Romeo must die” “Aaliyah” the album itself has sold 12 million copies worldwide she was building a great legacy unfortunately she passed away at her height she could have been wayyyyyy bigger than beyonce, beyonce probably wouldn’t have a career bye!

      • Mariah carey June 24, 2014

        Girl no one is trolling have a seat I’m stating the facts, beyonce is a massive star nobody is taking that away from her but you don’t know things would have gone for Beyonce if Aaliyah was still alive, she was doing movies, endorsement deals,her Aaliyah album was massive it’s probably bigger that dangerously in love and y’all know is true because dangerously in love has sold 11 million copies aaliyah the album 12 million copies but with that being said beyonce is great at what she does

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Trolling Bitchh Aaliyah’s best selling album sold 8 million copies WW. THE PURE LIES KIII. Also Aaliyah’s self titled album sold 132k first week and flopped down the charts after that. So what BIG SELLING ALBUM are u talking about???? Your ass don’t know nothing about Aaliyah’s discography kii. She never had an album that sold no where near DIL sales. And just like u told me, I don’t know how big Aaliyah would of been. You don’t know also. Look at Brandy, Monica and May today

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      Yea like Rihanna who is giving that circus act a run for her money? Are we acting like Ciara didn’t sale during her only two years of relevancy after DIL? Or Rihanna’s huge career that Beyonce still can’t stop? Please, Beyonce isn’t even R&B, she’s just as pop as the other girls.

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        F** u crack me up lmfaoooo. Hoeianna is an W****, Attention W**** and Singles artist. So where in The World is she giving THE QUEEN a run for her money????? A bitchh with 13#1s and a NON FACTOR on The RIAA with 7 ALBUMS remains beneath HER ROYAL HIGHNESS KII KII #U TRIED THOUGH

    • Brian310 June 24, 2014

      Apples and Oranges you can’t compare the 2, what benefited Aaliyah is she had an ability to entertain and she carved out her own lane which none of those other girls did or could do, Brandy did but she had her hands in too many pots in her t*** years so that’s why she burned out it had nothing to do with Bey.

    • Mimi carey June 24, 2014

      Aaliyah didn’t sell f****** 12 million ww. Wtf is up with this inflation? Brandy was the only teenage black female artist who sold over 10 million WW. Aaliyah, Monica and Mya were local and never sold over 2 million in America wtf lmao

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Girl please just don’t speak, if you don’t know anything about other artist. Both of Aaliyah’s first two albums sold over 3 million in the US.

  36. DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

    These kiddy h*** don’t nothing about Aaliyah. Did I REALLY here a bitchh say Katy has more success? Although Aaliyah got around, she wasn’t no basic singer bitchh. She had to albums back to back that went multiplatinum. She was also the first artist n history to garner a #1 solely based on airplay. She help redefine a genre! Katy and the rest of the poptart h*** couldn’t shine Aaliyah’s coffin.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      Know

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      Aaliyah’s impact was more musical genre based. She influenced soooo many R&B girls today. Katy Perry is a commercial success that has done more COMMERCIALLY though her impact is questionable…

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Yea Katy has more commercial success but she probably will never see The Impact Aaliyah brought to the Industry.

    Aaliyah, was a good smooth R&B singer. I never said I disliked her. She was cute. But, during the late 90s she was not that big. She became huge AFTER she died. Before, she was just another Janet Jackson lessor. BYE!

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      She wasn’t a Janet lessor, but more of a child of Janet. No one is saying she was the biggest thing. We’re saying that she set the standard and was original and made the blue print for alot of R&B girls that came after.

      • Stephy June 24, 2014

      Music Box: 1993 (32,000,000+) are SHIPMENTS not actual sales… Music Box only sold 26 million CERTIFIED sales.

      How is she going to sell 4x 8 mil we when the us is her biggest, and only, market?! The delusion. Post the link where billboard says that. Again, third world countries aren’t making up that gap when her albums have sold ~10 million in the us and uk, her two biggest markets.

    “Anderson Jones from Entertainment Weekly was less enthusiastic with the album. He gave the album a C rating and considered it as: “An album that seems based on the philosophy ‘If Aaliyah can do it, why can’t I?’ except that in singing about best friends, heroes, and puppy love instead of about making love, t*** actress Norwood (TV’s Thea) acts her age. A premature effort, at best.” 1994

  59. Mark111 June 24, 2014

    “Though the album has a clear retro-’80s quality, her influences don’t run very deep: Destiny’s Child is an admitted influence, and “Pick Up The Phone” is a much less s*** rip off of Aaliyah’s “Rock The Boat.”” -slantmagazine reviewing Ciara’s Goodies album.

  60. Mark111 June 24, 2014

    “Raymond Fiore of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B and commented, “If Aaliyah had lived to make another CD, it might have sounded like Goodies,”

      Many critics noted that Aaliyah first album sounded a lot like music the quartet En vogue would do! One in a million was compared to Janet one critic also noting how similar Aaliyah is to Janet! Rolling stone said her 3rd album sounds like that of Outkast ”stankonia” , Sade “Lovers rock” and Missy Miss E… So addictive. It was even compared to that of Jill scott and Macy grey…. Girl your perfecr Aaliyah was influenced like everyone else I always called her Janet 2.O

  61. coolness June 24, 2014

    Here’s the thing, I didn’t grow up on Aaliyah. Homegirl debuted a few years after I was born. However, I remember when she passed because I had older cousins who liked and mourned her. Over the years, I’ve grown to really appreciate her catalog and artistry but her story remains intriguing to me because of the R. Kelly scandal. If that part of her life is not handled properly in this upcoming film, it could cause damage both to her tightly guarded legacy and the feelings of her family. From what I’ve read, the Haughtons literally closed off all talks regarding this matter when the news of the marriage broke. R. Kelly is a legend no doubt but he’s a disgusting one at that and it bugs me how people give him a pass because he’s talented. Oh and I don’t get the whole Aaliyah isn’t an icon gist. She was on the brink of superstardom when she passed but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a certfied R&B icon. She’s no legend but she’s been very influential in the genre. Look at artists like Ciara (ironic that a C-Squad member would diss Liyah), Tinashe, Sevyn, Drake, The XX etc, they all borrow from her in one way or the other.

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      This is why she’s iconic b******! lol

    • ozzy June 24, 2014

      TBH, there is no denying her fashion impact on Rih lol.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        I know! I have to be careful when I say Rihanna has an Aaliyah vibe, cause people think I’m talking about musically, but I mean fashion wise. Rihanna is the one that really carried on that edge while the others (Ciara, Mila and others) just jacked it and did nothing else with it.

      • ozzy June 24, 2014

        I agree, that’s what I love about both of them. There’s this level of edge and swag to their style that no one else has perfected.

    Why is no one talking about how Aaliyah looked like TLC her first album tho? How she was serving Janet in her others? She is overrated but she is a good artist! Where are these Powerhouse vocals cus in case you were delusional her last performance she sounded terrible!!!! People suck up to her cus she died R.I.P to her but I see her fans are mad their fav died so they attack everyone insight!!! Yall old asses need to go look after your kids!!!! Why is no one mentioning her SALES on went up after she died Aaliyah only became well known after her death Yes US might have known her but WW no one knew her when I was Younger we all were like Who’s Aaliyah but was sadden by her death and bought her music which was actually decent!! But I saw a lot of Janet , paula etc yall quick to say how she influenced someone when we forget that Janet did it first!!!! Any chick who dances and sing yall like she wnna be aaliyah bye I know you miss your fav but you gotta let it go!! Aaliyah was a S*** for sleeping with older men at 15 she knew what she was doing we all can THINK at 15 I knew at 15 what was wrong and what was right it takes 2 to tango But we all make mistakes

    Lmaooooo these inflated sales are a joke! None of her albums sold over 2 million in America and she damn sure wasn’t getting platinum plaques in other countries.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      Aaliyah’s first and second album sold over 3 million in the US.

  66. sleazy June 24, 2014

    Aaliyah sales went up after she died! Its proven facts before she died her 3rd album wasn’t even Gold!!! And I quote “The album sold diminishingly afterwards! Since virgin and blackground records wanted her charting single to sell the album Aaliyah shot a video for Rock the Boat”. After Aaliyah death her sales skyrocketed propelling her album to 1 it wasn’t even 1 Aaliyah reign was letting up People don’t see it what would have happened if she hadn’t died ?

    • Mark111 June 24, 2014

      “Before her death, its sales had been diminishing since the album’s release in July,[53] and stood at more than 447,000 copies sold.” -MTV

      It was already gold w****. They needed a hit cause We Need a Revolution didn’t chart high. Stay mad.

      • Beygency June 24, 2014

        Big f****** deal! Alicia Keys came and SLAYED her! Nobody cared about Aaliyah until she died!

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Good for AK, even tho she had a huge hit. Aaliyah chart without one. You deal b****.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      You’re right. I remember her album selling 132k first week and it tumbled down the charts after that. No shade. Aaliyah had lost some of her popularity by 2001. I still loveeeeeee WNAR but the song didn’t put Aaliyah back on top where she use to be. Even though it was produced by Timbo. Aaliyah in 2001 was like how Lady Caca is now. Had so much success in the past but lost her reign. So to this day (although I love A aliyah) I don’t get why people say there would of never been a KING B, Ciara or Ashanti.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        Her album did 190K the first week. Get your facts right. Those other h*** came later.

      • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

        Well whatever it sold it didn’t sell good after that, for someone of her caliber. And those other h*** were still gonna come, if she had died or not.

      • Mark111 June 24, 2014

        That’s cool, but one one of them had success after success. The other two were just one trick ponies.

    • eric June 24, 2014

      Aaliyah was still hugely popular at the time of her last album release. It had not been even half a year since Aaliyah finished leading the sales of the Romeo Must Die soundtrack into the 1 million mark. Aaliyah’s album didn’t sound like the hits from the movie soundtrack and that may be what initially threw people off. If Aaliyah weren’t still at the top of her game, she would not have been getting movie offers left and right – that much alone proves her star power at the time of her death.

  67. Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

    Aaliyah has become an icon over the years, but she wasn’t that big of an artist while she was alive. She was always just kinda….there. People used to say very nasty things about her too. She did make good music, but I wish people would stop saying s*** like “such and such wouldn’t be here if Aaliyah was still alive”. It’s so annoying.

    • DIGGER BEY June 24, 2014

      I just said the same thing. Aaliyah wasn’t that BIG artist she use to be in 2001. The charts prove it. So every female that debuted after her death would of still made an impact.

      • Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

        Yup. Only God knows what Aaliyah would’ve been today, but with the way the GP disposes of artists I wouldn’t be surprised if she was on the Brandy/Monica level….more so brandy because Aaliyah was also an actress. But like I said, only God knows. Aaliyah’s stans (mostly bandwagon) are just so annoying.

  68. Drea *pretty hurts* June 24, 2014

    Anyway….Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica were the soundtrack to my childhood days. No disrespect to Aaliyah at all. I also wish people would stop disrespecting Brandy and Monica also because whatever your fav is currently doing; chances are they’ve been there and done that.

  69. musiclover June 24, 2014

    aaliyah best selling album is her second album…sold 10 m world wide

    her 3rd album only sold 8 million but after 2004 it was rerelease in other countries to sell 10 million

      AND INFLATING THOSE SALES KIII. I GUESS
      KEYSHIA COLES FIRST ALBUM SOLD 50
      MILLION WORLDWIDE!!!

  70. eric June 24, 2014

    The fact that they’re toting the R.Kelly thing as a highlight in the biopic shows me that their motivations for making the movie are completely self-serving. It will function as no more than a cash-in on one of the biggest question surrounding Aaliyah. These filmmakers don’t give a damn about Aaliyah, and neither does the actress hired to play her, or else she would respect the wishes of Aaliyah’s mom and brother.

  71. MC!! June 25, 2014

    People like to say Aaliyah is basic and local then why the hell did she have up to 4 movies lined up to play before she died or how about the tour she was planning on doing? By the way “Aaliyah” sold 2.9mil in the states and 13 mil ww!! It’s her best selling album to date and yes it was gold before she died and got those good ass reviews before she died. Aaliyah was a star get over yourselves! She’s still talked about after 13 years before her passing that makes her an icon. Donna summer passed and so did Etta James they had more success than Aaliyah and are still not as talked about as she is! I’m here for the movie if the family gets it together and stop all this drama.

  72. oohchildplzz June 25, 2014

    I thnk the reason y the haughtons dnt wont that movie to come out is because aliyah mom know that she holds fault to this rkelly thing with her daughter.what mother u know let their 15yr old daughter go anywhere with a grown ass man why she cldnt go to the studio sessions who in their right mind leave their baby girl with a man and dont even know whats going on.as a parent she shld hv been more involved in babygirl activities.

  73. MISHKA June 25, 2014

    At this point, the Haughton family just need to let the movie come AND go.

    They are the ones bringing more attention than the movie actually deserves. A lot of 15 year old girls would have eloped with R Kelly at that time, he was the bomb!

    I hope they cast Derek Luke as R Kelly and Trevor Jackson as Ginuwine … Quincy Combs would have been perfect but he doesn’t look like he can act or bust a move

  74. Elle34 July 2, 2014

    They were married but it wasn’t Aaliyah’s place to be the grown-up, R.Kelly was a FOUL MESS! Don’t know if a film about Aaliyah will see the light of day.. I hope it will,eventually. Aaliyah is sorely missed by her fans that span this world&the genuine/unbridled talent she possessed was lighting in a bottle! RIP AALIYAH
