It's been too long and I'm lost without YOU! : REMEMBERING AALIYAH!!

August 25, 2011 marks the 10th year anniversary of the passing of Aaliyah Dana Haughton.

If you know anything about me, you likely know that I've had an obsession with Aaliyah from Day 1...."The one who started it all" "Baby Girl" "Liyah" ...........she was truly amazing to me.

I stay blogging about her in some way, shape or form...tweeting lyrics...posting songs...something.  I love her music.  No one is doing what Aaliyah did.  Literally she has a song for every emotion and feeling.  If I'm in love...i go to Aaliyah (Street Thing, One in a Million).


sidebar: Street Thing....i used to sing my lil heart out to that song like i was a grown ass woman in love or something...to this day that is my JAM!!!

 If I'm heartbroken (The One I gave my Heart To, Heartbroken)...Aaliyah.  If one day I wanted to be the other woman (I Can Be)....hell she has a song for that too.  You can listen to ANY one of her songs right now and it can compete with current songs.  Think about "I Care 4 U" while this song was released on her final album Aaliyah when she was 22 it was recorded for her "One in a Million" album.........5 years before.  You listen to the passion, power, dedication, love and strength in her voice.....then remember she was 17 singing it....and its STILL RELEVANT TODAY.

(my all-time fav. babygirl pic)

My facebook page for the last month has been a constant rotation of Aaliyah pics.  I mean, I seriously felt attached to this girl.  She just seemed to have a beautiful spirit.  I was am definitely a FANATIC (remember the MTV show) and what nowadays would be a STAN...

She's amazing.  Although I want to be sad and cry (don't judge me...when Bey goes some of yall gon' go with her yall gon' be so distraught)...I just want to honor her life.  She died doing what she loved...what she was passionate about.  She'll always be remembered and her voice, face, dancing will live on...carrying her LEGACY!!

"Everything is worth it -- the hard work, the times when you're tired, the times when you are a bit sad.  In the end, it's all worth it because it really makes me happy.  I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.  I've got good friends, a beautiful family and I've got a career.  I thank God for his blessings every single chance I get" - Aaliyah



AALIYAH WE MISS YOU!! LOVE YOU!!! ..............until we meet again.

I love Aaliyah!! Everyone should know this by now.  I've been obsessed since I was .........idk how old I was but it was from the second she came out.  Everyone would cut me out the magazine articles for me, buy me her cd's, posters.  No one had to ask what I wanted for the holidays ...if you got me something Aaliyah I was happy.  Everything about her made me happy...her aura, her style, her music, her voice, her dancing, her presence, her LIFE!!!

It breaks my heart to know she's gone.  But we'll always have videos and songs and movies!!! Miss you baby girl.

Im Tired Of These Tears..... Falling Down My Face.
Im Tired Of This Love..... Being Taken For Granted.(Wont You Go Your Way)

Theres One Thing I Gotta Ask of You,

If This Is True (True)
Why You Took Your Love Away?(Whyyyyy)

Im Tired Of My Heart..... Being Broken.

Oh yaahh ive got trouble with my friends
Trouble in my life
Problems when you don’t come home at night
But when you do you always start a fight
But I cant be alone , I need you to come on home
I know you messin around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down
Ooooh I gotta be out my mind to think it’s gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave, but the other side still believes
And it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna ooh hoo ohh to you hoo hoo
Should I grab his cell, call this chick up
Start some shhhh then hang up
Or I should I be a lady
Oohh maybe cuz I wanna have his babies
Ohh yah yahh cuz I don’t wanna be alone
I dont need to be on my own
But I love this man
But some things I cant stand ohhhh
Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna oohh hoo ohhh, to you hoo hooo
Should i pay him back to see how he'll react
To see if he'll react to my love , my love, my love
Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other side still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna oohh hoo ohhh, to you hoo hooo

RIP AALIYAH - 8 YEARS TODAY!!!

WOW...how time flies!!!

So...if anyone knows me they know how much I absolutely love AALIYAH and I always have from the very beginning. I was definitely an AALIYAH fanatic...I was even applying for that MTV show before she passed away. Craziness I know...but I would have just loved to meet her. One year me and the bestie were at Juneteenth in Little Rock and Tank was performing and they had Aaliyah promo posters. You weren't supposed to take the posters...but you think you gonna hang an Aaliyah promo poster in my face and I'm not gonna take it.....YOU SILLY!!! I stole it...still have it too!!

I'll always remember the day she passed away. I was staying with my cousin and I was up late being the news geek that I am. I was watching CNN Headline News and a pic of Aaliyah popped up. I perked up and got excited and then heard the news. I was sooooo sad. I just went straight to bed.

I'll always love her music and from what people said before and after her death she was a beautiful spirit. An angel on earth. So I wanted to take this moment to honor Aaliyah on my blog. BABYGIRL YOU ARE LOVED.
