i dont understand why you little imbecile's are always so hellbent on comparing aalyiah to beyonce. you can tell whos 14 years old in here.
beyonce is supposed to be a top 1 or top 2 female r&b artist right now. aalyiah was never close to such status. she wasnt even in the top 2 in her specific lane. this is like saying "would rick ross be where he is now if freaky tah(no disrespect) was still alive?". what makes it even worst is that beyonce was already bigger than aalyiah before she died. and it wasnt arguable either.
lets be real, we just like aalyiah's music better because she had r.kelly behind her, and later on timbaland & missy. hell, some of you idiots dont even remember when she was under r.kelly. you just know he smashed. thats why hes barely mentioned in these threads, yet timbo & missy are steadily sprinkled in these posts.
@ these fake @$$ numbers.
lol @ aalyiah being an international superstar.
smh @ this racist chit at the end. stick to talking about taylor swift and leave the r&b threads to the big dogs.
and i hate to burst your bubble(actually i dont hate to do it) but aalyiah didnt make any dam grown-folks music. her music was geared towards the same exact demographic as beyonce's music. and lets be real, beyonce made way more grown folk songs than aalyiah.
monica is still droppin hits on the regular.
no aalyiah was not as big as monica or brandy.
and yes, ciara is a more realistic comparison to aalyiah than beyonce is.

I honestly don't know, I don't check for B that much actually, but one thing I do know is that back then EVERYBODY was listening to Aaliyah, Beyonce gives me the impression she's more of a pop superstar, Aaliyah was straight hip-hop, except she was singing...but again, I don't really check for B like that (which proobably means something)
And while nostalgia obviously clouds some of our judgement, let's not act as if she wasn't killing it BEFORE dying, people here comparing her to Ciara and themback then only solo concureence in that lane was Brandy and Monica, and IMO Aaliyah was bigger/better than both. (Damn whatever happened to Monica tho
)
RIP Baby Girl and I'm with X on this one,@

that and a bunch of people that know they dont know chit about r&b outside of 5 or 6 names that the media embedded into their psyche. make a thread about somebody else, and that chit is lucky to go 2 pages.
