Aaliyah 's parent sue record label...

[showstopper_1908]

Thank the lord I didn't hear that on Hot 97 because I would have seriosuly lost it. Most of my friends that were and still are big fans of hers did cry. I cried when I was in her chatroom and everyone was expressing how she touched each of them. I cried when I saw Back and Forth played on tv and it'll probably make me cry again. I don't know how or if Aaliyah has touched your life, but she has touched mine. Someone told me that I shouldn't cry over a celebrity, but for a political figure. Someone who works for us all. But Aaliyah died working for us. She was in that plane comming from a video shoot. Pleasing har fans, making us happy. She's been my fave since 1994 and I can honestly say that I would be a very different person if there was no Aaliyah. I will miss her forever. I can't speak on anyones experience, but I know that I had a right to cry. I had her poster on my wall that she autographed for me up since 1996, it hurt me too much to look at it everyday so I finally took it down. This hurt me very bad. My mother told me that many people were like this after Marvin Gaye's death, I didn't understand until now.

Well, here there's been some controversy over an ignant @$$ dj from Hot 97! Star from the morning show played some horrible sound effects of a woman screaming & a loud crash...trying to get a laugh (he says)??...about what??...Aaliyah's death??!!! I can't believe that the thought would even enter his mind, let alone he actually do THAT!!!??? Miss Jones walked out, apparently! What's wrong with him??? I hope that Timbaland, DMX, Jay-Z, Damon Dash, R Kelley, Ginuine, Magoo, Jet Li, & whoever else kicks his @$$ next time he goes to a hiphop function!!!


Anyways, I don't know if I'm alone in this, but several times since Sunday I've felt the urge to cry...however, I've fought those tears b/c of this nagging feeling that I don't have the right to cry...what is that? No, I didn't know her & no, she didn't know me...but, I just feel so blah...when I wake up, I feel that weight of "somebody died"....So, she WAS special indeed. Next time I get the urge, I'll let myself cry.
