  • Wednesday marks 20 years since the singer Aaliyah, the Princess of R&B, was killed along with eight others in a plane crash.
    BNC is honoring her with special coverage of her life, legacy and lasting impact on music. Comedian and actor Bill Bellamy joins "BNC Live" with Tashanea Whitlow to discuss Aaliyah and her legacy. He interviewed the late singer in 1995 and he says his fondest memory of her is when she taught him how to dance. Bellamy says despite her young age, she had mature qualities about her and she was gifted.
    All this and more on "BNC Live."

    Aaliyah was _the_ blueprint for some of y'all's faves in R&B. 20 years later she _still_ continues to make an impact.

      She left way way to early she was still a baby but a solidified Legend already imagine what she would be today how her kids would’ve looked how her music would sound just imagine Herself and how she would’ve looked today and how huge her following would be and how different this planet would’ve been. She was a forward thinker which means she was a trendsetter so everyone would’ve been on a far better Path than what they are left with today which is trash no class having ratchet disgusting women who idolize devils and disgusting characteristics and gold digging and brain washed sheep’s. Aaliyah is the coolest girl who ever this planet the most beautiful to ever step foot on earth by light years no one even comes close to her in any category’s her talent was something else she was so diverse and so real so humble so pure inside and out just everything about her defined a beautiful real down to earth humble soul, also believe she would’ve been a billionaire long long time ago maybe by the late 2000s or early 2010s I could go on and on and on forever with Aaliyah but the few people that aren’t blinded by these knock off trash versions who display a bad influence for the younger generations, we know how much of a powerhouse Aaliyah would be she would’ve been what drake is times a thousand on both movies and music and modelling and she would own her own brands and company’s as she was getting started with Kidada Jones shortly before her death which was a Japanese inspired clothing brand called “Dolly Pop”. She had INFINITELY AMOUNT OF INFINITE POTENTIAL That we were robbed of which is why we could and should not ever get over her death and remember her every chance we get. REST IN ETERNAL BLISS AND HAPPINESS BABY GIRL LOVE ALWAYS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

      @@vinny3136 You worded that so perfectly!!!!! I do believe once her third album came out and after Rock The Boat that her career would have took off to levels that we can’t even imagine especially with acting!!!! She was truely 1 of 1 and after she left this Earth the shift of energy and the bad things that happened after especially with 9/11 . I haven’t felt that kind of energy in a music artist again!!!’ Like you said Aaliyah was a very forward thinker and a trendsetter!!!! Not to have to mention her but Rihanna’s career didn’t take off till her third album and look where she is now. Aaliyah would have definitely been miles ahead especially with Films , music and fashion if she was still here. This planet would be a completely different place if she was here!!!!

      @@wameezy That’s a fact it’s so obvious and I’m glad you are able to see that.
      The energy in music did shift and I’ve also noticed that a lot of people gained a tremendous amount of confidence after Aaliyahs passing. People like Ashanti and Beyoncé and a bunch of others displayed an attitude that they didn’t have when Aaliyah was living not that they could compete with Aaliyah anyways but it’s like them saying ,Now that Aaliyah is out the picture let me try something new and use Aaliyahs sounds. Which a lot of artists did and they never show any type of recognition especially this new generation

    Sadly, Hype Williams looks like a very shady character. Why was he not investigated for
    his shady actions?
    JZ and Beyonce certainly have benefited after Aaliyah mysterious sudden passing along with 8 members of her crew that lost their lives too in fatal plane crash!
    FyI Damon said Hype Williams recieved call from Lenny Kravitz he offered his Comercial plane to Aaliyah and her crew so they would be able to fly home in safe Comercial plane which they could take their luggage & equipment on. Why did Hyper Walker not offer this to Aaliyah? What happened? Why is he not being investigated for his shady dealings?

    I was 12 at home on a Saturday night. Definitely was after 10 est. Because my mom came in and asked my sister and I if we knew who Aaliyah was? Of course that was a duh moment but her tone automatically made us sit up straight like yea.... Why? "Turn on the news" then she just walked out. Nothing was the same after that. At 32 y/o it still hurts. The more we learn that comes to light I just get madder and madder. This didn't have to be. 🕊️🕊️🕊️✝️✝️✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. I'm gonna step out on a limb here. 9/11 happened the next month but to the Black community. Her passing was 9/11 to us.
