it's funny...most of the dudes commenting are nikkas who admittedly don't listen to the music. Facts are Aaliyah has classics dating back to her first album when she was just getting her toes wet. Beyonce maybe has lucked out on a classic song or two, but the standard for her career are formulaic hit songs that wear on your nerves after a month. About 90% of Beyonce's music has no lasting power whatsoever. Even Beyonce fans can admit to as much

Did Aaliyah even write any of her own stuff?
Beyonce is way more talented. Aaliyah is basically Amerie level, which isnt a bad thing because that's my chick too, i bump their music often. But Be is a certified top tier legend, and i don't even bump most of her stuff because it's just TOO girly

1 song out of here entire career? And that song isn't even euro pop.

What does acting slutty mean?

Jay cost her a lot, but her biggest song is one that features Jayz

I doubt you have ever listened to a B album

No i havent listened to a B album, i dont like RnB. Some singles i mess with but i never listen to albums.

B being slutty means, she is wearing underwear and bra's in most her videos, she is hip gyrating, acting like a hoe for fame/records

she did another song with lady gaga for shine, the euro pop 'telephone' ..... she traded a lot of her style to stay relevant. Aaliyah never done this.

Hoe? Please. Aaliyah's last big hit was Rock the Boat and she was gyrating her hips and making sexual gestures throughout the video. She also dressed very provacatively in several of her videos. She probably woulda been showing her ass too, if she had ass. Beyonce has some pop records. So what? Did nikkas criticize Mike for being the "King of Pop" or was he praised and loved for it? Beyonce is legendary. Let's be fair here.

Show me one video of Aaliyah in bra and panties, just one.

Beyonce became a slut to stay relevant, because Jay messed up her shine. B also changed her sound to cater to the euro pop dance rihanna crowd, even aligning with Lady Gaga mimicking.

I said enough.

This is true. She's already an icon. And it's mainly because of her talent. Beyonce can sing and is a wonderful performer. Now, Aaliyah, on the other hand, wasn't that great of a singer or performer, but she made wonderful music. B also has made some wonderful music, just not in the same vein.
I like both I actually think its ridiculous to even compare the 2 bc they are so clearly are not in the same lane.

I've always said on this forum that I don't see the need to drag Beyonce down in order to lift Aaliyah up.

nikkas like to rewrite history in their head like "ohh if Aaliyah was alive she'd be bigger than Beyonce" or "Beyonce is only big bc Aaliyah is dead" like somehow B is stealing Aaliyah's shine :rudy:.

:comeon:


Beyonce's image is far from "slut". Are you serious? This isn't Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, or Lil' Kim we're talking about. She's in several videos showing her beautiful body. So what.

Singing ability = Beyonce
Performing quality = Beyonce
Star power = Beyonce
Looks = Beyonce ( Aaliyah is bad, but she ain't fukking with Beyonce)
Song writing ability = Beyonce

Aaliyah did make songs with more depth, but even that is a testament of the talents of her songwriters. Beyonce is a global icon and would have been regardless if Aaliyah was alive or not.

I agree, Im not here denying Beyonce would be big that is common sense. She is gorgeous and talented but she started using writters for songs like ne-yo, she started acting like a hoe to cater to the new audience (like rihanna) ... B never needed to do sh1t like this.

Im not here comparing Aaliyah to B, they both pretty and made good music. both used writters .... but Aaliyah never changed her style or dressed slutty to stay relevant.

B like that paparazzi coverage, like lindsay paris kim etc

beyonce-upskirt.jpg

B dont need to go that route. anyway im done for real.

So nikkas taking upskirt pictures of a girl opening her legs to get out of a car means she's a slut?


:smh: @ some of ya'll trying your hardest to turn Aaliyah into B's version of BIG. Fact remains B was a bigger star already at the time of Aaliyah's death.

:dwillhuh:


wow. get off this site you fukking idiot.

The Writing's On the Wall (1999) - 8X Platinum US
Survivor (2001) - 4X platinum US

Aaliyah (2001) - 2X platinum US (and that's including post death purchases)

Beyonce was indeed a bigger star even when Aaliayh was still alive, so it's funny for nikkas to say she would have stopped Beyonce from eating
