Whitney Houston sang LIVE ON TOTP... I guess it depends of the artist's style...
Aaliyah's case is different... You cannot sing, and in the same time dance like this... Janet Jackson was same case. I KNOW, Aaliyah had killer voice and talent... just the situation wouldnt allow her to dance like that and sing... RIP< baby Girl... Love u forever and ur going top be missed... What a LOSS....
Oh my gosh! I remember watching this performance back in the day on TV, I missed the first airing on the Friday and I think they used to repeat the show on the Saturday at like midnight and stayed up to record this on VHS. Ah man, what could have been for her....
Who the hell is the photographer? The other dancers are gorgeus but i really actually watched it to see aaliyah and her moves but it could because
1) The camera was on the other dancers
2) The camera is doing a close up on aaliyah and don't get me wrong aaliyah was STUNNING ( no sarcasm) but i also thought her dances were stunning but i never got to see them because of the PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!!!!!
I actually remember watching this performance when it was first televised here in the UK and I remember thinking to myself 'Wow this girl is so beautiful, her hair was so sheen black and her red lipstick and white teeth . . . not to mention her dance moves!' Man, what a loss to the world :(
She was so perfect!So unique.So many copycats today,but noone will ever be like her.True R&B queen.I don't see this good R&B nowadays...Too bad she died.If she was still here there would be no Beyonce,No Rihanna......She was a great performer live..I liked her imidge..She was great dancer...Great actress.Just EVERYTHING!!Miss her so much!! I love you Baby girl Aaliyah!
what a beautyfull face, we miss u baby girl!!! u were sooooooooooooo damn perfect neither compare with those new r&b ugly trump!!! but i think ciara its a good role on ur way!!
every artist who performs on TOTP lip sync.I dont know why, i guess thats what they want them to do. Anyway She is very talented and i miss her dearly. Aaliyah is a Queen^_^
Why was the presenter acting as if 21 was old!? lmao
Also i think ppl should consider that the audio of this video and the video itself probably lagged so lip syncing wudnt b perfect. But imo I think someone just slabbed the try again mp3 on top of the video cos i can hear a certain fade in wen the song ends and the applause starts
oh man this is really hard to watch i am one of Aaliyah's biggest fan i mean i love this woman she was really amazing at everything she did sigh she would be so big right now,beyonce woudnt be able to touch aaliyah R.I.P Babygirl miss u much!
Do u have Aaliyah's performance of "More than a woman" that she performanced July 25, 2001 on Tonight Show with Jay Leno, because i can't find that performance anywhere? That is my favorite one.
Top of the pops was well known not to actually have the equipment for live performances! You'd sometimes get them singing live for a few seconds at the end of a song.
Watching this is hard cuz she on top when she died and her star was still rising. i do believe she would of been bigger than bey. we love u aaliyah and we miss u.
ya it appears she lip synching but i think all the performers were told to! mn my gilr was more than just a pretty face she gave you a show! actual dancing choreography professional dancing! no rolling on the floor popn yo booty or grinding on a man while snacthing on his pants oulling them down! there will never be another aaliyah and she is and will always be the best to me no matter who pays for 16 grammys sells sex b4 talent or arranges a fake marriage with an old rapper! xoxoxo
no wonder she always sang live, she was terrible at lip syncing. something must have happened cause my baby girl don't lip sych. when she sang live, her voice is stronger and you can tell. what happened. i still love my baby girl, and she is my fav of all time. but lip-synching does'nt go well with her.
I think it was pre-recorded, because it doesn't seem like a crowd is there in front of her, so it's just a dance/lip-sync performance really. If she was doing it for a crowd I believe she would have sung live, but maybe her schedule meant she wouldn't be around at the time the show went live!?
@85marcholm this is a show in Britain, where its prerecorded. No one sings live on this show because they are asked not to. Not even Mariah and Whitney sing live on this show. Get my point??
i remember when this was originally aired..i remember thinking ''wow, everything about her is just smooth''
