For me, before there was Michael, there was Aaliyah.. Aaliyah Dana Haughton had a light about her like no other.. Let me tell you a bit about her. She grew up in Detroit (Michigan) and went to a performing arts school. She got a record deal when she was 16. She has an amazing voice, and later got into acting. She's related to Gladys knight, who was Aaliyah's aunt, and who is one of the most legendary singers. To me, Aaliyah's the Queen of Urban Pop and Princess of R&B because no one today compares to her voice quality. She was very creative in the music business, and was a rising star. There was no doubt in my mind that she would have been huge. She was my role model for years, and reminds me of Michael in many ways. I would have loved to hear her and Michael collaborate, but sadly, Aaliyah's plane crashed in 2001 and she died at the age of 22. Here is a story that a fan shared: "She was the truth. I remember an experience I had with her just literally seconds after she had just completed a concert in New York. She cried. And I was confused and asked her why she was crying. And she said, because all of those fans loved her and she loved them and she felt her performance was not perfect. Mind you...she had just literally "rocked tha house"...but she wanted perfection for the screaming fans. What a talented sweetheart."Hope you enjoyed Love, J
