AALIYAH is FLAWLESS

 

Aaliyah…

 

And if you didn’t know that is A – a li- yah our PRINCESS of R&B.

 

Congratulation Wendy Williams and Lifetime for bring Aaliyah fans a beautiful story that had over 3 million viewers making it the 2 highest TV movie.. Ryan Smith gave great commentaries on Aaliyah life and music and how she impacted her fans.  I had the privilege to interview Ryan Smith and Elise Neal at ESSENCE Festival. 

 

10 LOVES about the movie

1.       Elise Neal kicked off the movie like Whoa! Playing Gladys’s with confidence, elegance, and beauty.  Gladys’s advice to young Aaliyah 11 was beautiful. PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS. As young Aaliyah performed on stage with her aunt in Las Vegas.

2.       I have to give respect to Media Take Out. I was on the edge of my seat with R Kelly.  Not sure, where they were going to take us.  Well, they took us there. We got to see R. Kelly he really loved Aaliyah.  They had a soul love…a soul connection.  Some people live their life and don’t meet their soul mate.  Then, when Aaliyah told her mom and dad they were married. I felt the pain, passion, and love with desperation. 

3.      Alexsandra Shipp played that part.  I felt Aaliyah life, work ethics, music, fan appreciation, humility, and her realness. When Aaliyah said the industry is COLD, you have to align yourself with people who got your back.

4.       For all students, Aaliyah didn’t let glamour take her off her studies. While, Aaliyah was in the makeup chair she did her homework.  When she had interviews, she scheduled them around her classes.  Her high school was very supportive to allow her to take interviews at school. Her high school was implemental in dream and academics.

5.       I love the fact that as beautiful as Aaliyah is…it showed her flaws with beauty imperfections.  Aaliyah frowned when she saw herself the mirror when she woke up.  Her makeup artist told her you focus on your Trigonometry.  I will focus on your face.

6.       When I interviewed Aaliyah, I talked to her mom in Atlanta. Her mom told me how Aaliyah was nervous about One a Million and how she worked in the basement many nights.  To my surprise. I was like she is still at home.  She didn’t get success and run away from home.  She stayed around FAMILY who help guide and support her career.

7.       Timberland and Missy Elliot – When Aaliyah told them, I need you as much as you need me.  It is not about EGO it is about TEAM work.  Then when Aaliyah, won her award she was accompany by her brother and thanked Timberland and Missy Elliot for their GREAT work.

8.       No disrespect a Black singer will star in a movie.  Aaliyah added Whitney Houston did it.  Agent responded she had Kevin Costner.  Aaliyah shut him down by saying, “I HAVE 12 MILLION PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT MY ALBUM INTERNATIONALLY…and that is not just BLACK baby”. You and I have to know our worth like Aaliyah.  You see that Trigonometry classed helped her, you have to know your worth…your statistics.

9.       Aaliyah and Damon Dash was beautiful. They had fun while embracing each other with genuine support. They HEAT was filled with passion, love, and support.  Damon supported Aaliyah.  Aaliyah Damon encouraged him on his journey that could have save his live.  A lion doesn’t have roar all the time…his purr can cause trembles.

10.   Aaliyah!!! Aaliyah!!! Aaliyah we love. I love the cinematography of the FAN love during her life and the funeral recession.  Ms. Diane releasing the 22 Doves was beautiful and classic like a movie.

 

Aaliyah movie is a must see!
