[Godblesseveryone4]

Love the 90s =

[fancylivingKi]

Swag.

[soul3ars]

Aaliyah was great...With that being said, I don't see why most people find it necessary to compare artists and put one down in order to compliment another (i.e. the Rihanna and Beyonce comments). I was a huge Aaliyah fan back in the day...and yep she had a swag like no other, I'm watching this video and remembering when I saw it years ago when it hit airwaves. I never could admit it back then but I had a huge crush on Aaliyah before I knew anything about being gay Lol

[Camille0126]

Simply amazing. There is NO ONE like her and there never will be. My daughter is named after her=)

[charliewlondon]

God bless aaliyah she looked so happy on that stage and was definitely gifted.

[JamaicanCutie18]

...and rihanna has to be nearly naked in her live performances to get guys into her music.

[NiymbleFingers]

@JamaicanCutie18 Yes it's ridiculous.

[Hollywood4839]

Damn @ 1:56 Aaliyah was getting it in

[ChrisW617]

Rip Aaliyah

[MegaWrestling3]

Rest In Peace Aaliyah u will never ever be forgotten we all love u and we all miss u one love Aaliyah forever!!!!!

[Sarastyle1]

[kitwkiesha]

One of her greatest vocal performances!! RIP Babygirl!

[2muchwomen4u1]

Aaliyah knew she was the shit lol R.I.P Babygirl you will be missed :).

[morisblack2]

why is all of you fighting about Beyoncé she was friends with aaliyah you ignorant bitches

[lilmissebbz116]

Man, she was so DOPE live. What happened to artists that lived to SING and SANG not to make money and tour even when they are BURNED OUT! This is one of the dopest live performances ever.

[TreKlub]

Notice she sounds great!!!

[elishamjfan]

if i see another comment about beyonfake i will cut you!!!!!!!!!!

[Sc0rpion]

@elishamjfan Beyoncé > Aaliyah

[elishamjfan]

@Sc0rpion why are you even watching aaliyah videos!!!!!!!??

[Sc0rpion]

@elishamjfan Because I like Aaliyah. :) But I just wanted to see what you'd do if you saw another comment about Bey.

[Jthegreat84]

@Dboy, your mother is a fag you dumb cunt!

Beyoncé is on MJ level!

[BlanketGirly11]

@Jthegreat84 Oh please, Beyonce is good but she's no where near MJ level!

[Jthegreat84]

I'm sorry but she couldn't hold a note for shit! Nor could she dance! Beyoncé is everything!!!

[anjelheaven]

@Jthegreat84 #FAIL

[Carlieboi]

@Jthegreat84 Are you crazy, this video doesn't even have anything to do with beyonce, get a life -__- and she was a great singer and dancer.

[kbaby1010]

[Dboy4100X3]

[TheEve30]

Forever Aaliyah, love her so much!

[Divasandsuperstar]

She's the only girl that can wear baggy clothes and look stunning; gosh I miss Aaliyah so much; so much potential

[RnbDivas]

I remember watching this performance on tv..

[MattyIce2001]

Aaliyah = SWAG..She had "swag" before anyone knew what it was!

[thefloacist]

@MattyIce2001 Swag is short for swagger.

[MattyIce2001]

@thefloacist Ok?

[tonywilfordruiz]

@MattyIce2001 Its funny when i look at comment like this i just think of JJ that came out in 1982 lmao.

[theywarnedus]

illuminati sacrifice ---her handler was r kelly then jay z...sick creeps

[austinfrombustop]

@theywarnedus Shut the hell up with all that shit gosh....you sound like a creep.

[TheEve30]

@austinfrombustop that's so true they sound like a creep!

[pinchej]

@theywarnedus And dame dash her ex-fiance

[theywarnedus]

@pinchej yup good to know someone is paying attention.......behind the curtain of illusion.....i love when someone says i'm full of shit and get mad...it just shows how ignorant and unwilling they are to look at the ugly truth of what really goes on...but mad props to you

[pinchej]

@theywarnedus I liked her music don't get me wrong because I grew up on it but I watched this video on blood sacrifices and it said she was one while she was starting to rise in her career. Damon Dash and Jayz were her handlers up till her death but her uncle Barry Henderson then R kelly were her first handlers. R kelly actually was having sex with her at 14. Someone should have called the feds keepin it real. Thats statutory. I also realized that after the vampire movie she made she was marked.

[joshpheonix]

Along with everybody else she knew she was hot.

[DacoolTv]

R.I.P. AALIYAH

[LeslieeW1]

Love her RIP BABY GIRL...and love the leg dance lol

[callsignapol10]

[MindFuLL101]

@soj22 Basically. In the dictionary under the word swagger, you can see Aaliyah's face. I swear if I was as cool as she was when I was in HS...shoot lol

[kydakid1]

man I love her face at 2:22 haha she knew she looked good rip baby girl ily

[LuckyChramz7]

Aaliyah was too smooth... lol luv 2:22 also.

[canttouchthis421]

[anjelheaven]

I #LOVE her expression @ 2:22 , she knew she was the bomb!

[extendedbeautygal1]

She was a great live singer. They don't sing that that live anymore.

[kydakid1]

Omg she killed this performance and I love when she starts dancin at 2:15 the way she danced was so cool and also she sounded great rip baby girl u are missed by ur fans

[LaVitaMusic8557]

i totally agree with @qtoffss

[missclassyluv]

[HollySelfe1]

im in love with this woman

[TheBlossomAL]

I dont understand while people are sittin down during this performance.lol.

Luv n RIP Aaliyah

[Justme93PCD]

She was seventeen while performing this, but the talent she shows is the one of a fully grown artist

[HERBLANDZ]

this is when we knew a girl was gonna come on stage and do it live i miss 1996 i miss aaliyah and i miss talent

[RicoCoracao2011]

Apollo is the PLACE for the real Stars

and i'm so happy she was there performing !!!

[lockedbarber]

Sometimes I wish she liyah would have stepped more out of that falsetto. She had a very powerful alto mezzo-soprano lower register. The falsetto sounded sweet but its the reason why people thought and still think to this day that she was a weak singer. SHE SHOULDVE HAD MORE POWERFUL ballads. I guess the producers wanted to give her a unique sound and really paid on that term "street but sweet". There were other artists emerging when she did and her producers wanted to make her unique.

[BadderDenYourz1]

Of course Aaliyah was that popular? I mean come on she THE HIGHEST THE BEST

[ddremixxsoul]

Happy Birthday Aaliyah! This was amazing!!!

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

Happy Birthday 2 The Princess of R&B.

[TreseyB]

She was the sexiest tomboy, she had so much steez lol. Rest In Paradise Babygirl & Happy Early 32nd Birthday (which is 2mrw)! :D

[wisegal88]

That was the shit!!! Love Aaliyah!

[anjelheaven]

Oh me ohy my did y'all hear those falsetto notes? I can't believe people have the audacity to question her vocal talent!

[alihead4]

nice swag mamas, i miss you.

rest in peace! you're still my insperation!

[DonovanHillery]

LOL WOW!! I didnt realize she was THIS popular. They all got up and started shouting their name when she came on, and singing the lyrics. I was only 2, and boy I loved her album SO much!!!

[badgirlsclubfan4life]

I think Liyah had some scrub trying to holler at her during this time haha..You can tell by the emotion she's putting in this song.

[Jsoulchild]

17 years old with mad swag. I love her reaction to the the crowd singing in. She was giggin' and cheesin'. :D

[bunny52k]

omg when she dances its like she doesnt even try!!!! like she just goes.... dats how great she was nd i miss her so much...... my parents already dink im crazy bcuz im always listenin to her n always dress like her....... My mom looked at me crazy when i ask to go to da store in get some boxers lls

[Captainkirk08]

Her sound, her style and her timeless tracks. Aaliyah was a trend setter.

[Captainkirk08]

I miss that voice.

[xSweetHoneyBeex]

so much swagga! unbelievable!

[BluBel123]

I like the beat of this song

[sexcboymac1]

I never though about it but when she finishes the bridge and she goes into the chorus and she does the ad lib leave you alone tht is a very long run. like really listen to it. 2:38

[sexcboymac1]

i had a dream tht I went back in time before the accident and I hugged her and told her to be careful and I broke down while I was telling her this. It felt so real. I wish it was reality.

[imgr0wn]

@sexcboymac1 maybe its a sign that she's doing well in heaven or something :) don't worry, you'll see her again one day !

[wwenewyork]

@sexcboymac1 me too! i had a dream i told her not to get on dsat plane! and she was like dont worry i wont! and then i went home and i found out she did!:( i was so mad i wish that was reality!

[wwenewyork]

@sexcboymac1 me too! i had a dream i told her not to get on dat plane! and she was like dont worry i wont! and then i went home and i found out she did!:( i was so mad i wish she would've listen too me!

[HerAkanE505]

GOD I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT! LOW TO HIGH!!! WITH EFFORTLESSNESS!!!

[mattmorganflash123]

Classic

[singblackgirl]

qtoffss- I TOTALLY AGREE...i feel the exact SAME way!!!!

[xSweetHoneyBeex]

she invented the word swag

[Sarastyle1]

I Love & miss you so so much!

Every Day i listen your music and think about you & your life...that's not Fair! Why must the good die so Young?!

I hope i see you in heaven..i hope so..

r.i.p my angel

[onelady4]

It does not seem like it's been 9 years dang

[onelady4]

Love her sunglasses

[chitwnma]

ugh i miss u n still listen to her all the time

[lora5627]

no artist will ever replace babygirl..

[RicoCoracao2011]

@lora5627  so true!

[mattmorganflash123]

She was the britney spears of r&b, but she had better songs, and could actually sing. She always put on a good show., never lip sang, she always showed her fans how she felt. This might not have been her best performance, but she still killed it. Aaliyah concentrated on her dance moves, she was always on point. Listen to her sing Journey to the past, she could most definately sing her ass off.

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

I wish i was there ,omg!! i would've went crazy if i saw BabyGirl performing live in front of me.

[jayvfreshprince]

The Girl has got some attitude!!..damn missing her :(

RIP AALIYAH!

[MSLOVELY438]

SHE KILLED THIS PERFORMANCE

R.I.P

[anniesusername]

R.I.P.

She was so amazing, My fav singer ever. I still get sad over her death :(

[pierzedntattooed]

I love her strong lower vocals. Oh hearing her live just kills me. Why must death happen to someone with incredible talent? :(

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

People said she couldn't sing? I never heard that, but I can see why, it was the 90's and back then, you had to SING in RNB, BUT! those singers didn't dance LIVE at all, Aaliyah did and sang LIVE, now, let's compare to other dancers/singers like Janet(no shade), Britney and Ciara, yes they dance, but either don't sing LIVE or just yell, Aaliyah did it both, M Carry, Brady,Monica and Houston SANG, but couldn't dance to save their lives. This is why we all love Aaliyah so much, she USED her mic.

[DominiqueDiamond313]

i wish people would stop trying to compare Aaliyah to Beyonce and Rhianna....u can't compare those 3 artist with each other they are totally different

[DellsMusicCarrer]

I love her so much

[LeeyahNicole13]

she was ahh-mazing! I lhope to be like her one day

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

Miss You. Liyah The Best, who the hell is Rihanna? She got nothing on you, Babygirl.

[6ull3tpr00f]

i liked her r kelly error

[girlscott411]

@6ull3tpr00f i bet she did 2!! jk jk haha

[killamija09]

1:56 && 2:17 amazing dance moves by the best

R.i.P Baby Girl

LOVE always

[alliehazelangel]

I miss her soooo much and miss music like this even more. Ugh!!!!!!!! Classic

[QueensPrincess08]

R.I.P Babygirl, you are forever missed, =( I can't believe it has been nine years since your're gone. I can understand why God would have wanted him with you, because you were an angel on earth. R.I.P Aaliyah, gone but never forgotten. I'm still sad that you are gone, and music hasn't been the same since you left.=(

[mattmorganflash123]

CLASSY SEXY COOL.

[xxxMrBligexxx]

I loved the part at 3:28 when everybody is saying "What chu saying, what chu saying, what chu saying..." EPIC!

[Cedrclovesutube]

[wwenewyork]

[AaliyahLegacy2010]
