Happy Birthday Aaliyah
I know I am late with the Aaliyah post (Her birthday was Saturday, January 16th), but I HAVE to acknowledge the woman who changed my life, musically and just being an all around good person. Aaliyah would have been 31 years old this year, and I am so happy to see that her music is still alive an living throughout all of us. It warmed my heart to see the outpour of love and support via Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. Her brother Rashad, responded to all that he could on Twitter (Follow him twitter.com/Rad_6), and shared that his family still misses her, and is honored by the fans loyal support. There was no denying that Aaliyah was talented and beautiful, but you can tell that beyond all of her mystique there was a heart of gold. I LOVED that we didn't KNOW much about her, but it was ENOUGH to keep us interested. She had an infectious personality that, even all of the years she has been gone, still resonates with us. Musically always ahead of the pack, she made music that was ground-breaking and also timeless without being trendy, or being corny. She has a flawless catalog, and that is what we have left from her. A musical legacy that cannot be touched! R.I.P. Babygirl!
