I'm late to the party, but I just want to make note that when the Original Destiny's child was just an opening act, I went to see them and they performed "Are you that somebody" did the whole video routine, so..Aaliyah being like beyonce as the years changed, doubt it. Not to mention Aaliyah didn't sell s*x, she wasn't in short dresses exposes her body and making naughty faces, she was a tomboy, I highly doubt she would switch over to what beyonce does and beyonce definitely wouldn't be doing the tomboy thing, they probably would be 2 completely different artist doing difft. Solo beyonce would probably still be pop music and Aaliyah RnB hip-hop, 2 different groups of fans except when it came to the BET awards. Aaliyah and Beyonce would have BOTH been different and pretty and successful, Mathew would have made sure of that and Missy and Timbaland would have had Aaliyah covered in hip-hop. T-pain is a loser for comparing something so different.
