oh my god! Aaliyah is the all time best female artist I know... maybe I'm only saying this b/c I love her style, and maybe it's just cuz we're alike in so many ways. Aaliyah is my idle, and I love her very much, I still can not get over the fact that she is gone. I never got to see her or meet her, but one day I will, and hopefully she is looking down right now, and is liking what I have to say about her!!! To me there is no greater singer, especially Beyonce.. she is(sad to say) whoreish in some of her songs. You can't compare anyone to Aaliyah, cuz she's the best there was. If you don't like her, fine, but don't talk garbage about her.
