aaliyah-ginuwineNine  years ago today Aaliyah Dana Haughton, known simply to her millions of fans as Aaliyah, died tragically in a plane crash  after filming the music video for the single “Rock the Boat” in The Bahamas. She was 22 years old.

A few months ago TheUrbanDaily spoke with one of her good friends and collaborators, Ginuwine, about his new project A Man’s Thoughts and he took a moment to share one  of his fondest memories of working with the late R&B star.

    She died the weekend before I started my senior year of high school. I know I didn’t know her but that ruined my first week of school. She was truly one female celebrity that we all could be proud to look up too. She lives on through her music which we as young women could relate to. R.I.P. Aaliyah.

    I will never forget the day when Alliyah died! She was one of my favorite singers! I cried all day, and half of the night. So many of our loved-ones and the celebrities that we look up to are leaving this world so soon. Thats why we need to not only take care of our bodies, but make sure you get yourself right with GOD. You never know when it’s your time to go, so just make sure you live everyday like its your last! RIP Alliyah, Michael Jackson,James Brown, Isac Haze, Bernie Mac, Jam Master J, Left Eye, Selena, Bob Marley, Barry White, Geral Levert, Luther Vandros, and all the other fallen celebrities that has made us laught, cry, sing to their music, relate their situations to ours, and made our lives much easier to bare! I love all of you and God Bless us All

    Damn 8 years ago I kinda feel like an old man now. Miss this girl and Cassie needs to stop trying to imitate her. It’s hard to duplicate something when you have NO talent at all.

    *It was so unfortunate that we didn’t really get the chance to celebrate the life of Aaliyah. Soon after she was buried, September 11th happened. She never really recieved the credit she deserved while she was here. She left us 8 years ago, and still not much recognition. RIParadise Aaliyah

    Shw was ahead of her time musically/fashion wise. Showing the belly button/bandana/the big sun shades/etc that women r doing today. One visually refreshing female too. No wonder R Kelly had to hit that!

    I will be the first to admit that Aaliyah was not he best singer to me, but what i liked about her was that she did the best with what god gave her. When she performed she put her heart and soul into it, and that is why people love her so much.

    That blog article was really cute… it’s sad that she’s gone but I am grateful for the time that she was on earth to contribute to the music/fashion/movie world. You are truly missed..R.I.P.

    chocolatethunder….I couldn’t have said it better myself. There’s a lack of respect and morality these days. No wonder the world is heading where it’s heading. To those who want to litter the comments section with blatant ignorance and disrespect…keep it to yourself and show some fcuking respect. There are plenty of people who ‘care’ about the anniversary of Aaliyah’s death. So if you clearly don’t, why would u waste your time commenting? Just because a person has passed, doesn’t mean their music and/or legacy has to die with them. That’s the beauty of music. It lives on regardless of whether they are still here or not.

    R.I.P to one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced this planet. Music has never been the same without you…and it never will be.
    9 years later, and your memory lives on. R.I.P Babygirl.

    AWW THAT WAS CUTE AND SWEET, BUT HARD TO LISTEN TO. WHEN SOMEONE’S LIFE IS CUT SHORT AT THE TENDER AGE OF 22, IT’S HARD TO NOT THINK ABOUT WHERE AND WHAT THEY WOULD BE DOING IF THEY WERE STILL HERE. HER CAREER WAS DEFINITELY ON THE RISE. SHE JUST KEPT DOING IT BIGGER AND BIGGER EACH TIME AROUND.
