Aaliyah 's parent sue record label...

[darling1]

Folks it has been reported that Aaliyah along with about 8-10 others were killed in a plane crash leaving from the Bahamas. I am in utter disbelief. I think she was one of the most grounded artists. I loved all of her songs. I just can't believe it!!! Before I continue to ramble, I will just end it here by saying may they all rest in peace!!orange-red

I find this so hard to believe. I haven't seen anything on the news, has anyoone else?

Man, and I was just dogging her CD. Talk about sureal.

This is truly a sad day. I can't believe that a young women so talented and so beautiful has passed. I send all of condolences to her family. Aaliyah was one of my favorite artists and she was truly one in a million.

I really couldn't believe it!

One of my Sfs Posted this on another board, so i checked MTV where "you " *supposedly*"hear it first"
There was [B]NOTHING!!
I honestly had to watch CNN for a while to get the whole story. As it turns out the pilot complained of to much baggage weight and the passengers insisted that they take everything.

This is a prime example that life is indeed too short. This young talented beautiful woman died at 22

I am really feeling sad. They announced it tonight while I was out at the club. It totally changed my mood. Ironically, this evening I kept playing "Come Back in One Piece" by her and DMX.

I usually dont connect to famous people dying, but I truly can't believe this young lady has died. I just watched her on MTV's Diary the other day. I will pray for her family.

Y'all this is too sad. I feel you, Wonderful1908...I don't usually connect with famous people dying either, but for some reason this is different.

I just heard it a couple of hours ago. I am SOOOOOOO SHOCKED! There is ONE survivor as of now.(He passed away early this morning)

I saw that MTV diary...she said that she was very happy doing what she was doing and wanted to enjoy every minute of her success.

What a tremendous loss. What really hits home is that she was SOOOOOO young. You can name countless people that should have been in her place. Those that are out there doing "no good", etc.

I'm still shocked.

Prayers to ALL the families involved.

Info I've received from other sites...

RUMOR: R. Kelly was also in the Bahamas and had taken an earlier flight out...



Timberland and Damon Dash are still in the Bahamas

Director Hype Williams was not on the plane

This is so horrible. I just watched her "Diary" too. I am not a fan, but I was really digging her as a person when I watched the show. I'm really in shock. I JUST found out on MTV like ten seconds ago. I'm sitting here looking at the TV but I still can't believe this. My students are going to be so sad. Things like this really affect them. I'm having such a jumble of thoughts right now. I can't believe this. I really can't. Oh man...

[CrimsonTide4]

Ok after having slept on it, I realize this:

Well first when the DJ announced it he prefaced it by saying "An up and coming artist" so I really was all set to hear someone who just started like Blu or Alicia or India or Jill or someone who is new. I really was blown away by it being Aaliyah.

I had both of her CDs and really could see her being a lifer in the music business.

I feel saddened by her death because she is the same age as my cousin and brother and I often worry about them when they are out late.

I think this hits people because we are caring and loving, we hate to see anyone suffer, and she was a "good" talent.

hello everyone,
I know i haven't been on here in a while. But I knew I could come here and post my feelings about Aaliyah. This has really hit home for me. Aaliyah is a native of my hometown, Detroit and we will truly miss one of our own. Although I don't know her personally, I feel that through her music, I have gotten to know her. That sounds weird, but I have. She has inspired me in so many ways. I too was out Sat night at the club and heard about the news on the radio on the way home. Thank God I had made it to my apt complex b/c as soon as I heard, I stopped my car right in the middle of the street. I just can't believe this. Things like this just truly make you think about how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away. But we all should realize that God has his reasons for doing what He does. And although we felt it was not her time to go, God says that it is. My prayers go out to her family and to all the other families of the others that have passed.

I read one website and it said that the plane had engine failure. It didn't say if it was related to there being too much luggage on board or not.
If you have not gone to Aaliyah's website, please do so. It is fabulous! They have already posted a comment on there about her death. Aaliyah's Site

I was just reading not to long ago that she just finished one movie called something to the effect, "Queen of the Damned," she was about to start Matrix II, was talking to another company about features in another movie.

She was so young and just really hit the top of the peak with Romeo Must Die and so many new projects. It is always sad whenever such a young, positive, striving person leaves us this way.

One thing is for sure, she was very happy with her personal and proffessional life. At least she was doing what made her happy, she was living the life that SHE WANTED TO LIVE.

I heard it a few minutes ago on the "Today" show on NBC. Then, I logged on to make sure I heard the reporter correctly. Sure enough, there is an article on www.usatoday.com. I couldn't believe it. I usally don't connect to celebrities like that, but because of her youth it really hit me. I'm just in shock.
