This was written by someone very special to me, who was a huge fan of Aaliyah, I thought I would share it with you ........
"Whats her legacy now she’s gone,
The queen of urban pop,
who redefined whats R&B,
Undisputed queen of midtempo come-on..
A muse in her own right, a total performer,
Cool with being sexy, classy and appealing,
always pushing herself to be aware and be original..
staying true to herself and her style right down to Grandma’s ring.
Learned to work the stage, the audience and have fun, Lessons not forgotten.
An interpreter who took our words and brought them to life.
Trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what she did.
remembered as a full on entertainer and good person
Never discussing her private life, keeping certain things to herself,
Admitting at times she couldn’t figure herself out,
just wanting to be by herself,
“If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy. “
Leaving it in God's hands,
hoping her fans felt where she was coming from.
To her not sacrifices at all, just doing her best to juggle,
with songs about relationships in every aspect
A life cut short by tragedy,
leaving an indelible imprint on the music industry.
We remember her beauty and purity,
her angelic voice, her originality.
Her love for her Family, friends and especially her fans,
Her legacy is her memory,
Imprinted forever in all our hearts.... "
RIP Aaliyah xx
