This may not be the right time to speak on it, but do you all think they will release Aaliyahs video with R Kelly? I think outta respect, you shouldn't, but I'm not sure.
Life's a bitch and then you die -Nas
-BPG!

I think they will release the video.... but who knows?
What about the MTV VMA awards though? She was scheduled to be there... I dont think she was gonna perform... she was probably just gonna present an award... I'm not sure. I'm kind of expectin MTV to do some sort of tribute thing for Aaliyah though... I bet they will.
-
Its alright to release her video. As long as it doesn't disrespect her legacy or image in any way its aiight. They still release Biggie and 2Pac videos with their image so its the same thing.
-
As long as they dont pull a Death Row an make money off there death in a fucked up way like what they did wit PAC than i think they should but I think they should get the family's permission though
-
IF COURSE IT WILL B RELEASED
ITLL B A TRIBUTE 2 HER
AS WILL THE MATRIX, I HAVE NO DOUBT IT WILL B 'FOR THE MEMORY OF...' IN THE CREDITS
ALL THAT IS COO IMO
peace
-
yea they might release sum tribute video but not nessary wid r-kelly
-
they will probably realese it and at the end it will say RIP Aaliyah, nothin wrong with that
-
Peep BET's 106th & Park today for a full our tribute.
-
fuck mtv! im suprised they havent done a tribute to her on there website. im pissed all they got is some contest winners on the front page. no big pic wit RIP 1979-2001. Im expecting them to do something at the vma's.
-
I think playing the 106 & Park show that she was on last week is kinda disrespectful. Its obvious BET is trying to get ratings.
-
They will release the vid and at the end it will have her pic and then say her name and when she died sorta thing, like on ill be missing you.
-
It would b a shame 4 the video not 2 b aired, it's best 2 see peeps in their true light when tragic things like this happen. I'm pretty sure she would want peeps 2 remember her for her music & showing the vid would jus' b a mark of respect 4 her & her talent.

R Kelly must be devastated
He married her when she was 14 you know
-
It was a rumor. Wouldn't he have gone to jail for that anyways? I know he is alot older than her.
I was watching TRL (yeah thats right I was) and Timbaland was on a phone talking to one of the news guys. He was talking about how much Aaliyah meant to him and how she was like a sister to him. He said its like he lost half of himself when she died. You could tell by his voice he was really depressed.
DMX had a statement where he said she was beautiful, talented and sweet and this is a horrible loss. He said we should pray for the family.
And then they also had a statement from R. Kelly and it said he was devastated by the loss and his condolences go out to Aalyahs family.
And then Puffy was hosting the show cause Carson was gone. He said that everyone should pray for the family especially because they were all close to eachother. He remembered he would see Aalyah, her mom and her brother walking together holding hands and talking all the time.
-
Damn, this is like so unbeleivable. I know stuff like this happens all the time, planes crashes,car crashes...but it's like a tragic loss. It's 2 weird as we didn't know her personally but.......I jus' hope all their families pulls through these hard times.
-
Of course they are going to release it. It was her last artistic work before she died and should have it released as people want to see it.
I think playing the 106 & Park show that she was on last week is kinda disrespectful. Its obvious BET is trying to get ratings.
What is the matter with showing the 106 & park show that she was on last week. They always show replays of 106 & park at this time and you know that people would want to see her last interview. What do you expect them to show. I guess it was also disrespectful for mtv to show the diary that she was on a few weeks ago.
R. Kelly is a statutory raper. He's like 30 messin' with 17 year old girls.
-
if she owed money to the label.................
they are going to release it......................
since she died...............................
they are going to release it..................
i cant lie....i didnt buy her album...but since she died..i am going to buy it now.....i liked her..just never purchased her cds but i willnow....
-
BET isnt disrespecting her...before and after every comercial break that i saw it said RIP 1979-2001 with her pic and ery'thing...i dunno if MTV has done anything, but they're airin' the Dairy of Aaliyah a lot cuz i've caught it on about 3 or 4 times in the last day or so...Detroit 107 The Juice had a 15 minutes of silence yesterday nite...
-

crazy
:'(

R Kelly must be devastated
He married her when she was 14 you know

MTV is airing a special on Aaliyah after TRL tomorrow. Plus they dedicated a whole segment to her and will most likely do a tribute at the VMA's so they are doing their share.
And I got misunderstood on the 106 & Park thing. I meant it was disrespect because they were just showing it to get ratings, it wasn't a tribute to her. The same with Diary. They are just trying to milk the whole thing for all its worth. In that form it's disrespectful in my opinion.
-
They will...
-
yess , they will but maybe not as soon as we think , it was suppose to be release next month so i don't know
-
I was watching BET Tonight where they are dedicating the entire show to her. They had DMX on the phone and he read a poem he made about Aaliyah. He broke down and started crying at the end. He is tore up about the whole thing too since they were very good friends.

from MTV NEWS:
:'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'( :( :'(
The music community reacted Monday to the loss of one of its brightest young stars, praising the late Aaliyah for her creativity, warmth and kindness.
"She was like blood, and I lost blood," producer Timbaland, whose collaborations with Aaliyah included the hits "Are You That Somebody?" and "We Need a Resolution," said in a phone call to "TRL." "Me and her together had this chemistry. I kinda lost half of my creativity to her. It's hard for me to talk to the fans right now. Beyond the music, she was a brilliant person, the [most special] person I ever met." (Click for photos of Aaliyah and friends.)
Aaliyah, 22, was killed when the small plane she and eight others were traveling in crashed soon after takeoff in the Bahamas on Saturday (see "Aaliyah Killed In Plane Crash"). The singer was on Abaco Island filming a video for "Rock the Boat," her label said, adding that it's too early to tell whether or not the video will ever air.
A visibly shaken P. Diddy, hosting "TRL" Monday, talked about his friendship with Aaliyah and mourned the death of an artist whose best work was yet to come. "She was one of those individuals that would light up a room," he said. "She always greeted you with a smile. Her time was coming; [she] was just about to explode."
He said Aaliyah's family was the closest he'd ever seen. Aaliyah is survived by her parents, Diane and Michael Haughton, and a brother, Rashad.
Other artists remembered the singer and actress as much for her personality as for her work.
DMX, who co-starred with Aaliyah in "Romeo Must Die" and dueted with her on "Come Back in One Piece" for the film's soundtrack album, characterized her as "talented, classy, warm, beautiful, compassionate [and] humble" in a statement issued Monday afternoon. Aaliyah was a "down-to-earth sister with enough energy to put anyone on a cloud," he said. "Let us pray."
"Words can't express what I'm feeling, she was family," Ginuwine said in a statement. "I will truly miss her."
"There are no words to express the loss of Aaliyah, whose unique talent was just beginning to blossom," Ernie Isley said in a statement. "The world will never get to see how her gift could have developed, and that is truly a loss." Aaliyah reworked the Isley Brothers' "Choosey Lover" for her 1996 album, One in a Million.
Michael Rymer, who directed Aaliyah in the title role of the upcoming "Queen of the Damned," remembered the star as a perfectionist and an exceptional young actress. "Aaliyah, who doesn't have an evil atom in her body, came off as this intensely sexual, sensuous, delightfully evil, naughty performer," he said. "It was a very tough role to pull off. ... I think she delivers."
"Of all the people I know, [she] had such a clear and pure spirit, such a clear idea of what she wanted. It's hard to imagine that being interrupted," added Rymer. Rymer said Aaliyah had planned to collaborate with Timbaland and Korn's Jonathan Davis for the film's soundtrack, but he wasn't sure if those plans came to fruition.
A Jive Records statement noted that R. Kelly, who produced Aaliyah's 1994 debut, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, was "deeply saddened by the tragic loss. His thoughts and prayers are with her family during their time of grief."
Aaliyah's "Romeo Must Die" co-star Jet Li issued a statement extending his condolences to Aaliyah's family and the family of Eric Foreman, a makeup artist who also died in the crash.
"I heard of the devastating news and am deeply saddened that she is no longer with us," Li said. "She was a wonderful and talented artist who will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched."
One music-industry veteran who worked with Aaliyah early on was struck by her motivation as a 12-year-old with a burning desire to break into the business. "It was clear she had all the gifts," said Hank Neuberger, executive vice president of Chicago Recording Company, where Aaliyah recorded much of Age Ain't Nothing. "She had a great voice, she was stunningly beautiful and she had a strong sense of what she could do at a very young age."
"Her depth and versatility as an artist was matched by the passion and devotion she had for her craft," Virgin Records said in a statement issued Sunday (see "Aaliyah Mourned As Artist Who Had 'Limitless Potential'").
Fans responded to the tragedy with candlelight vigils and spontaneous memorials. In Detroit, a candlelight vigil was set for Monday evening outside the Detroit High School for Fine and Performing Arts, according to a school official. Aaliyah graduated from the school with a 4.0 GPA in 1997.
"We are devastated," said Stan Childress, Detroit Public Schools communications director and former student activities advisor at the high school.
"This tragedy has young people crying, hugging each other, expressing love for each other, saying things like, 'This has taught us how to value life, because you don't know what's going to happen,' " said Childress, who noted that Aaliyah had often given her time and advice to fellow students aspiring to enter the entertainment business. "She's an angel for this city."
Outside Tower records on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, fans wrote messages on an Aaliyah billboard and left candles and flowers, according to clerk Jonathan Stapleton. He added that the store has seen a huge increase in demand for her albums over the past few days.
In New York, a spray-paint artist was busy Monday creating a mural of the singer in Manhattan's Lower East Side, according to the Associated Press.
An investigation into the plane crash was ongoing Monday, and authorities in the Bahamas said initial indications pointed to engine failure as the accident's cause. Among the eight others killed in the crash were Foreman, 29, bodyguard Scott Gallin, 41, and Virgin Records' director of video production, Douglas Kratz, 28.
