You all can miss me with the pointless complaining. Much as I don't care for Wendy Williams, I have no doubt that she produced a compelling biopic (by TV standards anyway) that'll do a decent job of trying to be real, while also highlighting Aaliyah's best qualities. It would have been nice if Aaliyah's immediate family and inner circle had been involved or had some kind of input, but ask yourself why they probably didn't. I'll go ahead an answer that: it's because they would have tried to white-wash and water everything down to the point of blandness. It would have been a dull "Mama I wanna sing!" movie that instead of focusing on anything compelling would have tried to be yawn-inducingly inspirational. They would have played down the whole saga with R. Kelly -- which is a huge part of Aaliyah's mythology -- and would have instead been a bland layout of Star Search/recording deal/Romeo Must Die/funeral. I have no desire to see a 2 hr love letter to her.
