@Cl0ckingHoez@Creationtko@AaliyahLegion R Kelly was not a proven hit maker at this time. His first era was “ok” by industry standards. He was not the Kelz u think of now. He and Aaliyah actually appeared to have bonded over their ear for music and approach to it deviating from standard
@BritneysEncore Imagine the edit and version we would’ve gotten if she were alive..it was said they went with as toned down respect edit as they could’ve but the video was definitely intended to be sensual and showcase her beauty in alignment with beautiful backgrounds
@demoore44 When I found out her part in the Matrix was much bigger and they rewrote it to be significantly downplayed after her death that’s when I knew…she had a multi-film deal with Warner bros who also supposedly was gonna bid for her to transition to their music label..
@EonD22@AaliyahLegion@steviett3 Yall talk like u was there to know but again all of what u said is made up fairy tales..until there is a valid source stop spreading gossip like it’s fact cuz it’s not
@EonD22@AaliyahLegion How do you know this? Y’all go with these stories as if they are true..no one who actually knew her circumstances has ever said that..stop leveraging gossip threads as facts
@EonD22@AaliyahLegion@steviett3 It wasn’t the setup everyone who was there with her to rush her on the plane died too..it’s known as well their communication to the mainland was not great..the rush came from the less than savory conditions and it being scorching hot with little to no a/c at that “resort”
@Laserz2025 The song wasn’t going to be chosen..it was gaining massive organic airplay..Blackground went with it and rushed her to shoot as a rescue mission for her era essentially
@Bluebimall88@Laserz2025 No RTB wasn’t picked it was a velocity single meaning it was gaining major traction through organic airplay. I think it jumped massively up the charts to like 45 without any push. That was a big deal and ultimate reason for the sharp pivot.
@dare224@Laserz2025 Exactly it’s always gonna be Never Givin Up for me..plus just the smooth vocals as-libs and how she masterfully floated on “One in a Million” itself. It’s a reason why no one who sings it can recreate her magic.
@Tiffanymatsvai @soulfullybrave@ZhaneJahnice@mitchabee@Andy@RASHEEDA@Kandi They did originally want Tiny. If u recall TI was very controlling (got tiny and toya cancelled when he was released) she said they called her but she recommended Kandi instead.
@TheWayOfWade@cabbage09@WrestleFeatures This wasn’t to put Jeff over. It was to sell the vicious beat down he and Austin would deliver to the Hardy’s and Lita( Jeff won on raw lost it on Smackdown the same week) Plus at the time of the early 2000s number of reigns stood out more than longer reigns so it padded his nums
@Zoemkoena No people were fully aware by 2011 that Rihanna was a “radio singer” and not a live singer. But her IDGAF attitude and her being a sonic muse is what made her career have longevity
