Throwback Fridays: Aaliyah – I Miss You

Sandra Rose January 16, 2009

Legendary R&B/pop singer Aaliyah was born on this day in 1979. Her life ended in a tragic plane accident on August 25, 2001 in the Bahamas. Aaliyah would have turned 30 today.

Bubbles

If she was born in 1979 she would have turned 30. Not 31.

RIP Aaliyah

Ahhhhh… Okay I almost cried. I miss Aaliyah so much
I am so sure she would be killing the game right now.
No artist today can light a candle to her….
You truly are missed!!! You were a beautiful person inside and out……. Music misses you!!!!!!!!
Daisy

Thats my fav Aaliyah song one in a million. Sade turned 50 today as well. Love her.
kcicero

Aaliyah!!! That was my fav singer…RIP…the game hasn’t been the same without you!
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

Now Sade, that woman can sing. I love her voice. Matter of fact, let me pop her “Best Of” CD in….
Daisy

Morning Fam! TGIF!!

@KC after 4hrs (mostly dryer time) my hair is cute and DC here I come..lol I hope to see some eye candy all weekend..lol
Daisy

@Yvonne I have always been a fan of Sade. My gfriends all hate her and say she is depressing..lol
licia

bubbles is right sandra.
sdsthomas

Thank you Sandra! I truly miss Aaliyah! No one has and could ever take her place.
DivaMama

Aaliyah is and always will be my favorite artist (Bey is second – don’t jump on me!)

RIP Aaliyah…

Morning Fam! And Bubbles is right…
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

Sade is FAR from depressing! OMG, her songs just..I don’t know. “NO Ordinary Love” and “Kiss of Life” are my absolute favorites. Wait, and we can’t forget about “Lovers Rock”.
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

Hi Diva!
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

Sade is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her music is for mature adults only.

ckarinwhite

RIP Aaliyah…You are truly missed!!..She was one of my favorite singers.
Daisy

@Snooty I liked Sade when I was in high school..lol I am an old soul I guess.
Daisy

@Yvonne yes all those songs you named and Love is Stronger than pride is one of my FAVS as well. She doesn’t miss the mark often.
DivaMama

hey yvonne!!!

I was listening to Sade this morning – her music mellows me out and I love it!
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@Daisy-I’m an old soul too
http://taylordior.com taylordior

@Daisy Yeah I have liked her since I was very young.. So we both have old souls. After all I was raised by my grandparents…

FYI… I am not new I am a old head on this site
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@ckarinwhite .. Good Morning…
Amulet

I think the plane yesterday and Aaliyah are ironic.

However, I loved Aaliyah’s style, especially the way she wore her hair.

HAPPY FOUNDERS DAY, SORORS OF ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY!

Good Morning SR Family…
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

Thought of another one- “Somebody already broke my heart”
Daisy

@Snooty I am new to the blog. I think maybe a mth now. Old or new we all Fam..lol For the most part..lol
Anna

@SnootyPooty1,
You must be a big Aaliyah fan, you have not made a comment for a while.
Daisy

I lived with my grandparents during the school yrs while in elementary school cause the school was cross the street from their house.
Daisy

@Yvonne good one and so true!
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@Anna….. I make comments every now and then.. I am a huge Aaliyah fan this is correct…

@daisy…. I know you are new lol.. Yes this is true we are all family………. both old and new….
licia

ya’ll got me humming sade’s cherish the day. that’s my jam . love deluxe is her best album IMO
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@Daisy.. being raised by your grandparents is a wonderful thing even though your primary care taker should be your mother and father however its the next best thing……
kcicero

A Daisy gon head girl!! I plan on doing mines tonight after I come from the Protest in city hall tonight, lol, that is if I’m not to tired!

I loves me some Sade too just for the record!
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

I agree with you licia! Every track on that disc was the bomb. Rocking to “No Ordinary Love” as we speak…..
kcicero

@ Daisy many people I know were raised by their grandparents and were all the better for it. I feel like I was raised by grandparents since my dad is 70 and I’m in my 20’s you do the darn math, LOL!

And the primary caretaker should be whomever is going to provide a warm, safe, loving environment no matter their title or involvement in your life, well that’s what I believe anyway.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@kcicero …. I agree with what you are saying. what I meant was that it’s not your grandparents responsibilty to raise you they have already raised their kids but when the mother or father is not fit or around then the next best ideal situation would to be raised by your grandparents.
Daisy

My mama was 10mins down the road. She was very active in rasing me. I am the oldest and the FAV as my sister loves to say..lol It was just easier if we (I have 2 other cousins the exact same age grew up like sisters) stayed w/ grandma during the school yr since it was right next door. My grandma just turned 90 last mth! So she is still around as well.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

All sade CD’s are awesome!!!! SHe truly has talent and can sing her band is the best if you have never seen her in concert man you missed an awesome show she sounds just like her CD unlike many artist today!!!!!!!!
Daisy

@KC what are you protesting now?..lol
msluxlorraine

R.I.P Aaliyah…its funny because if she were still alive, Bey wouldn’t stand a chance just like if Big were alive her man Jay would be second grade. Both have profited big time by their deaths. What a pity…on a different note, is it me or is it crazy that the Bahamas is like the breeding ground for celebrity deaths(mysterious ones at that). Aaliyah, Anna Nicole’s son and now John Travolta’s son, its all a little creepy!
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

90 IS TRULY A BLESSING!!!
Daisy

@Snooty I HATE that I never got to see Sade in concert..:-(
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@MSLUXLORRAINE-you know what? you may be on to something
ladyrazor

Aaliyah….was just taken too soon..I remember it like it was yesterday when i heard the news. I was a big fan more so because i grew up listening to here when through the same phase with the baggy pants and bandanas..lol Thats my girl tho…R.I.P Fallen Angel.
Daisy

@MS I said the same thing about the Bahamas. I had a great time when I went though..lol
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@Daisy.. Thats cool your situation was a little different than mind I was with my grandparent 365….
My grandmother is still alive but she does not know who I am she has alzheimers she is 84 thats cool your grandmother is still here. Let me tell you alzheimers is a very hard disease its sad and frightening I would rather have cancer than to loose my mind and not know my love ones.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@Daisy… I kept waiting for her to come back in concert because I wanted to see her again and then she went into hiding I was very upset… LOL
iyonah

Good Morning fam! Happy Friday!

Love love love Aaliyah – rest in peace babygirl.

I still listen to ALL of her music – great personal and all. Def miss her …

I am not even going to address how people can help but to bring up Beyonce … a shame.

Aaliyah is one of my top 5 artist.

http://myspace.com/eastpointvet eastpointvet

@yvonne

licia

http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@kwall.. Yeah I am still a mess I need guidance… LOL
Oh I am sorry to hear they are know longer with the family…
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@ckarinwhite… I missed you too!!!!!!! Have you been behaving LOL you always behave……….
Daisy

LOL I was waiting on somebody to comment on ppl commenting on B..lol Knew it was coming.

@Iyonah I think ppl do that because you have some ppl who think the sun rises and sets around B as far as music and performing and others disagree and feel they need to rep for who they stan for. I don’t think its a shame but I knew somebody was gonna say something sooner than later. I could be wrong as always though.
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@EASTPOINTVET- awwww, that couple is SO sweet! checking them out dancing.
kcicero

@ Daisy the Genocide in Gaza that’s happening right now! You’re right I am always protesting something, lol my dad’s like you should run for office and I’m like are you crazy? Do you or do you not want to see me live to the age of 40, lol?
kcicero

Oh and good morning EVERYONE
Daisy

@KC Oh ok well fight the power!
http://myspace.com/eastpointvet eastpointvet

@yvonne
yeah they had they one two step on lol
Daisy

@east again I say you know everybody..lol
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@kc-if politics is your passion, I say go for it! Run for office.
http://myspace.com/eastpointvet eastpointvet

@daisy
some people i just happen to know a lot i meet through my cousin fatima since she has choreographed for everybody and they mama lol
kcicero

@ Yvonne I don’t know, lol to be a politician you have to know when to shut the hell up and give in. I’m the type of person that doesn’t like injustice at all so I refuse to be quiet about anything.

If its AIDS in Africa I’m all over it…if its the crazy suicide bombers I’m putting them on blast, if its the crazy arab muslim in sudan killing the african muslims in sudan,

I’m speaking up if its israel killing innocent children I gots something to say, if its Black on Black crime I’m trying to find away to fix it. Lol I’m all over the place and I don’t have the passion for politics I just everyone to live in peace.
Amulet

KC, what part of town do you live in?
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

@85-I feel you. Maybe you can start a non-profit organization to fight your causes. Just a thought…
kcicero

I live in Elkins Park but I grew up in the Raymond Rosen Projects 24th and Diamond, close to Temple University’s campus.
kcicero

@ Yvonne that is an idea that I never thought of, I’m definitely going to look into it. In the meantime I be happy with protesting on the side and teaching history in an underprivileged Phila. highschool.
ckarinwhite

…of course Snooty!…lol…Work has been busy, so I have to duck in and out!…
Amulet

Okay, you grew up hard on Diamond. Happy you survived!

Well, I don’t know which one of our neighborhoods is worse. I live near ‘The Bad Lands’. Helicopters fly around almost every other night. Sometimes I think they do it as a test, hopefully.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@ckarinwhite … I feel you I have taken on more responsibilities at work so my free time is very limited. I miss blogging because it’s a good stress reliever.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

Miss you to east..
kcicero

@ Am Lol the ‘The Bad Lands’ yeah good luck with that, darn. Honestly so many people tell me west is THE worse part of philly…who knows but naw my life was hard but others had it harder so I’m not complaining, I made it and I want to help all those who are still there.

And sorry Am but those helicopter’s are usually looking for criminals…its not all gravy in EP though we do get the occasional spotlight and busted car window.
iyonah

Yeah (sigh)

I guess in some people’s world its incomplete if a Bey comparison isn’t made.

“feel they need to rep for who they stan for”

Umm yeah I guess .. but umm NO …
iyonah

@kcierco — Salaams!

I don’t have the passion for politics I just everyone to live in peace.

^^^
I share the exact same sentiment.
Amulet

I have been in Philly for a while now, girl, it takes some adjusting to this fast life.

2 blocks down is a good neighborhood and then 1 block over is a bad one. I hate ‘the bad lands’ just stays BAD and no one trys to change it though. South Philly suffocates me. Mount Airy bores me. lol But ain’t nothing like summer time in the city/Philly ;o)
kcicero

I agree Amulet!!! Well except for the MA part I was born here so boring does my soul good, lol!
kcicero

Iyonah wasalaams!

Don’t you just wish we could snap our fingers and make it happen.
