A collection of Aaliyah at her best although Aaliyah is perhaps known for her sultry vocals and dance moves she had a very versatile voice sit back and enjoy
Aaliyah was a smart cookie. She sang soft strictly for stylistic purposes in her songs on albums and what not, but saved her true range for live performances. That's why she sang much 'heavier' and in her lower register a lot.
Aponte Anthony ohh yes do so. Vocalists like barba Streisand, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, etc have all this method to make their ranges bigger and progress
She had a beautiful falsetto but could sometimes sound fragile yet angelic. With her powerful lower register, it would have been interesting to see how much control and power she would have gained in her higher register.
Terrell James I don't think it's because of her vocal range etc. I think it's probably because of the uniqueness of her voice. That's why I like her voice at least. People seem to think you have to be a powerhouse to be appealing but even though her voice wasn't all Mariah or Whitney her voice was still calming and smooth and different. This is just coming from me though, not an experienced singer or anything.
***** I agree 100% about not having to be a powerhouse singer. I feel that if everyone sang the same, there would be no originality. Aaliyah had that angelic falsetto, and an awesome low register. She could dance, act, and was very sweet. Another example is the singer Sade. She doesn't belt tunes like Mariah, but her voice is very soothing as well.
Terrell James you Clearly don't understand her voice.. go listen to Beyonce... I'm glad you feel like because you open your mouth and sing a lil something yourself you feel entitled. . Pft.. gtfo
I feel that Aaliyah was so underrated as a vocal talent. Li was not only a great actress, awesome dancer, but she was a really awesome vocalist, she could do so many things with her voice!
Aaliyah was an exceptional singer....She was a bit nervous in her younger days, but vocally she was getting better and becoming better on stage..Aaliyah is .....Irreplacable...
I never viewed her as a strong singer when she was alive but I did think she was a great entertainer. After seeing this video, I'm convinced that she was a much better singer than I thought.
@@aaronvod I would say my goddaughter could sing too, however, she just wasn't that great of a singer. Aaliyah admitted to this in an interview...she said she thought she was an okay singer but a great dancer and an overall entertainer. I'd have to agree with Aaliyah as a whole. This video did prove that she was a better singer than I thought but there were quite a few then and now that she couldn't hold a candle to vocally.
@@cortezmiller1899 I have no reason to lie hunn (I have no dog in this fight) and apparently, you didn't see every one of them cause she said it. It was in an interview, I believe it was before she sang at a basketball game. She is sitting in a chair being interviewed on the court. She said she thought that her dancing was better than her singing and she always thought she was an okay singer. At the time, I personally had to agree with her, I never saw her as a strong singer. However, after hearing her singing without dancing I think she sounds really good. Sn: I'm sure you think you are but you are not all things Aaliyah hunn, she is, and she is no longer here. I'm sure there are plenty of things you've missed and not just that one interview. Sorry.
People need to realise that She had a Powerful Ballard voice , however Aaliyah was unique and different. She could have easily made songs like Mariah and Whitney but she opened her own path and started something with the subtle vocals on strong beats , others have taken that approach but Aaliyah is in her own league. Trend setter and always 10 steps ahead. She would have achieved some amazing things had she been alive today. I love her so much xx angel 👼🏼 xx
The thing that stands out about Aaliyah is not her range so much as the actual quality of her voice. It's just pleasing to the ear. Not only that, she connects to songs when she's singing. The emotion part is what I see missing from a lot of singers today. Their songs sounds like glorified tributes to their own talent.
Hearing someone who normally sings softly hit these powerful notes is such a treat! I always felt she held back she had so much more to offer as a performer.
man! I know for a fact that if this beautiful woman were alive now she would have crap on a few of these artist out now. I mean not to throw shade at anyone but come on! Aaliyah was dope as hell. She was a natural beauty, had a soft yet strong voice, and a beautiful spirit. .artist like her...you can't help but miss that dope..orginality..Aaliyah, Tupac, Biggie, Teena Marie,Whitney,Bob Marley .....:'( stars like her will always be timeless.
she was way stronger vocally than people give her credit. Another thing, she was 22 when she died, a lot of this stuff was done when she was way younger. She would have even a stronger and more beautiful as she got older and matured.
I've always liked aaliyah but i guess I didn't realize she was this great of a singer cuz everything I remember she sangs was so mellow or mid tempo but now I realize she had great pipes and now I like her even more. Showing that she's gone not forgotten!
She had alot of power when she sung live. Just was hard for her to sustain it when she transferred over to false. I love her live voice though and i know if she were still here she would of got better with it
Her falsetto was so smooth & bright ! She shined there ! & her transitions from her chest voice to her head voice was effortless ! She was so young , if she were still here , her progression would’ve been unmatched ! 😩❤️
Wow I've never heard this powerful side of her, most of her songs are very soft but wow she really had a powerful voice as well. One of the best singers.
Aaliyah has a beautiful voice. It takes great technique to be able to sing low and high notes the way she does. Her vocal runs and riffs are really good as well. Rarely, she's acknowledge for her vocal runs and riffs.
People need to stop saying that if Aaliyah never died that Beyonce wouldn't be what she is now. Have you guys ever heard of co-existing? Look at Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, the fans were split down the middle between those two whether people like to admit it or not. I believe that if Aaliyah had indeed lived through all these years, her and Beyonce would own the top of the music industry TOGETHER. Aaliyah had her fans and Beyonce had her fans, both of them were owning their own career paths, both of them had two different sounds that appeal to two different groups of people, and both groups are LARGE and love them to death. Aaliyah's voice was smooth, soft, and silky that was capable of pulling of Whitney-belts and Mariah-falsettos whenever she tested herself, Beyonce's voice is strong and fierce but also sweet. If Aaliyah had lived, I truly and honestly believe her and Beyonce would be Queen A and Queen B TOGETHER.
it's wonderful to see her live hearing her natural improvisations, hearing her fans, seeing her face, hearing her sing loud which is rare, I love it all. Her Band was really great too by the way.
I liked it when she sang with power rather than the soft whispers..she had such beautiful power voice..don't know why she didn't use it all the time..she had good range..
I just noticed now that Aaliyah have that little touch of Whitney Houston's voice...especially in the What Child Is This, The One I gave my heart to, Journey to the past songs..
I don't know why people dislike aaliyah. Every artist loved her and she was very popular she was gifted and true talented than any of today's artist. Today's artist don't have what she has. Incredible beautiful voice.
She had a lot of envy and haters…most big moments in her career was overshadowed by scandal and tragedy that’s why her music hit harder because her whole career she had to bring it on!!!! first they didn’t see her potential then they thought she wouldn’t make it wo R Kelly she proved wrong every time and just when she got over that obstacle in her career that’s when she passed…crazy but it’s videos out there that show alll this
Something about timbaland track are just HARD! The beat hits so hard it's hard for a vocalist to find their place.. but Aaliyah, without ego, fell into the song where it required her . The music was 50% and her voice was 50%..which is why they sound better on the album, to hear yourself live without studio settings to hear yourself properly.. Forced her to sing deeper, which she was great at, but also took away from what some expected from her. But if they want that live.. they need to simply look up her damn ballads.. All on CZcams.. and accapellas
Aaliyah will always and forever be my favorite artist ever. She will never be forgotten and I just miss her😢 I’m sick of this so called new music Rip Aaliyah
tone like no other & the timbaland tracks are hard to sing to period. she murdered Journey & One I Gave Heart To... real compositions really showed her turns & timbre to her voice.

Aaliyah's performances were a bit hit and miss for me. I think it was that her style of singing didn't always translate into live well. She had a beautifully soft and delicate style, that was not her only style but she approached a lot of songs in that manner. The problem with that style though is that you have to have a very good live band and audio managers to ensure that singers voice does not get lost but it has to be loud enough for the audience to hear the beat. She did seem to struggle with the some of the notes as well I don't know why because she has shown that she can do those notes before, maybe it was her nerves she did say she was shy. Anyway RIP BabyGirl you are very much missed.
Im a die hard fan and you explained it perfectly. We know its her voice. But in live settings it sometimes falls flat. In her defense, ar least she does sing LIVE. The ones who always sound perfect are lip synching to pre recorded live vocals, especially Beyonce. She always sounds so good cuz she uses re recorded "live" tracks and sings a live note or two to trick the audience.
She wasn’t a powerhouse vocalist but within her range she really went all out. Songs like “We Need a Resolution” show that the most. Nice vibrato, great vocal runs.
Wow!!Aaliyah´s voice is so adorable I Really Love To listen her voice singing Aaliyah because it´s pure it´s natural it´s fantastic...♥ I love You & Miss You...Forever our Queen
Some of her live performances really weren't good but also keep in mind she was dancing as well as singing, and that's very difficult to do. Most if not all artists now don't sing and dance at the same time in their live performances. She was courageous and real for that. But her voice when she wasn't dancing was incredible. She truly had talent and was beautiful and amazing. So sad she's not here anymore, she would surely be better than Rihanna and all the other auto tuned talentless artists we have now. RIP angel ❤️
Yes some ppl can walk and chew gum but it doesnt take away from her voice. But if she is singing standing still of course she going to sound better. Singing and dance takes time for some and for others they gotta.
UNDOUBTFULLY AALIYAH IS & ALWAYS HAS BEEN MY FAV... I EVEN NAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER HER... THANKYOU FOR MAKING THIS MEANS SOOOO VERY MUCH, BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES... MOST PEOPLE I KNOW FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT AALIYAH
Because it left her fans in suspense and kept them wanting more, they never knew all that she could do so she could always come back fresh everytime, unlike artist nowadays who try to blow out their voices on every song. She was vocally trained and just knew how to stay fresh and relevant. Idk, I just remember an interview when she said she didn't give everything because she wanted to keep the fans wanting more, she said she didn't want them to get tired of her...lol
I always tell people that she was an artist... she did what was hot! No one was here for belters in the 90's she was the "It" girl bc everyone was chill then and enjoyed chill music. She couldn't sing that chill while dancing on stage and singing live. But her records were what the people wanted at the time.
I know, but if you listen close to her music, you can here it here and there, little hints. I think as an artist, having a style and signature voice is more important than singing on top of your lungs. When people hear your voice, you want them to say "That's Aaliyah, That's Beyonce, That's Alicia Keys" Vs who's this? Or else you'll just be an American Idol singer.
When she came out everyone was trying to belt like Whitney, Mariah, etc. she wanted to be different so she went with a more mellow sound with occasional belts but she actually would warm up using opera techniques before recording in the studio
Aaliyah was a smart cookie. She sang soft strictly for stylistic purposes in her songs on albums and what not, but saved her true range for live performances. That's why she sang much 'heavier' and in her lower register a lot.
S Vara I'm going to start using this method and if I become a a singer I will use it
damn dat is smart!!!!! :I :) apparently she had WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more than book smarts!!!!
S Vara someone else said it was bc it was easier to control her voice while she was dancing, if she sang in a lower register. Sounds legit.
Aponte Anthony ohh yes do so. Vocalists like barba Streisand, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, etc have all this method to make their ranges bigger and progress
Yes she was that chick. I notice that method of hers as well very smart
Aaliyah's lower register was so strong. I know she would have did more power ballads if she'd been around longer.
She had a beautiful falsetto but could sometimes sound fragile yet angelic. With her powerful lower register, it would have been interesting to see how much control and power she would have gained in her higher register.
Terrell James I don't think it's because of her vocal range etc. I think it's probably because of the uniqueness of her voice. That's why I like her voice at least.

well hello there...
She probably had the most swag out of any 90s female performer
Drew Palermo she was distinct I believe. Because she was SO young, they tried to mask her age with the way she dressed
Nah tlc and her
Her & TLC
Missy Elliot
Lil Kim
omg when she's singing I Refuse at the beginning...
yes she 's singing i refuse on a french radio: skyrock
Those low notes!!!
Aaliyah's falsetto is EVERYTHING she was and still is a national treasure that will be adorned for eternity.
Always and forever.
Amen.
I feel that Aaliyah was so underrated as a vocal talent. Li was not only a great actress, awesome dancer, but she was a really awesome vocalist, she could do so many things with her voice!
CassieJazz96 she could blow.
CassieJazz96 Right and people say she was overrated
Agreed n ppl love to say she can't sing. FOH

She was a great singer younger. Y’all are weird.
She was replaced. Literally. They killed her for it. It’s all being exposed.
Man I love her tone. Nobody sounds like her. Nobody
Her, Brandy, Jessica Reedy, and Ella Mae. I love their alto voice.
@@Shon9tilR aaliyah isnt a alto tho
Bored Asf She sang low most of the time.
Shon9tilR Nooooo. They all sound different to me but Ella mai? No. Aaliyah was unique I get what you’re saying tho.
Rxyalty Antoinette You don’t like Ella Mai?
Her ability to change from normal voice to falsetto was honestly quite amazing..
I didn't know she could belt like that.... She really was gifted. She was only ginna get bettrr
If you pay attention everything is influenced by Aaliyah!
fr fr
👏 Dame right 🔥
lmfao
By Mariah *
If so you can't forget tlc bc they were the first to come out baggy and tomboyish
I always knew Aaliyah had a great low register but I didn't know she could belt so well. Truly One in a Million Baby girl Aaliyah. R.I.P.
Her voice was so beautiful,and angelic.
I wish I had her range. That girl could go so high then extremely low,she was so amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIH Babygirl
Her Oscars performance for "Journey to the past" remains the best, for me.
and her cover of giving up
damn she could go up high and down low and STILL sound amazing either way!!!!!!
how can people say that she couldn't really sing???......she gives any singer a run for their money
I never viewed her as a strong singer when she was alive but I did think she was a great entertainer. After seeing this video, I'm convinced that she was a much better singer than I thought.

Wow!!Aaliyah´s voice is so adorable I Really Love To listen her voice singing Aaliyah because it´s pure it´s natural it´s fantastic...♥ I love You & Miss You...Forever our Queen
Some of her live performances really weren't good but also keep in mind she was dancing as well as singing, and that's very difficult to do. Most if not all artists now don't sing and dance at the same time in their live performances. She was courageous and real for that. But her voice when she wasn't dancing was incredible. She truly had talent and was beautiful and amazing. So sad she's not here anymore, she would surely be better than Rihanna and all the other auto tuned talentless artists we have now. RIP angel ❤️
with that being said ciara can get a pass
@@lakiajohnson9764 your a hater
Yes some ppl can walk and chew gum but it doesnt take away from her voice. But if she is singing standing still of course she going to sound better. Singing and dance takes time for some and for others they gotta.
@@lakiajohnson9764 that's a different situation
I'm still saddened after all these years. Damn. R.I.P. baby girl.
RIP babygirl she had such a pure voice

So amazing!
RIP Baby Girl! That hair was always slayed!!
truely an angel. r.i.p beauty!
I'm wondering why she didn't sung like that on her records.
Because it left her fans in suspense and kept them wanting more, they never knew all that she could do so she could always come back fresh everytime, unlike artist nowadays who try to blow out their voices on every song. She was vocally trained and just knew how to stay fresh and relevant. Idk, I just remember an interview when she said she didn't give everything because she wanted to keep the fans wanting more, she said she didn't want them to get tired of her...lol
I always tell people that she was an artist... she did what was hot! No one was here for belters in the 90's she was the "It" girl bc everyone was chill then and enjoyed chill music. She couldn't sing that chill while dancing on stage and singing live. But her records were what the people wanted at the time.
I know, but if you listen close to her music, you can here it here and there, little hints. I think as an artist, having a style and signature voice is more important than singing on top of your lungs. When people hear your voice, you want them to say "That's Aaliyah, That's Beyonce, That's Alicia Keys" Vs who's this? Or else you'll just be an American Idol singer.
French Performer She did in her last about.
When she came out everyone was trying to belt like Whitney, Mariah, etc. she wanted to be different so she went with a more mellow sound with occasional belts but she actually would warm up using opera techniques before recording in the studio
I know right! It's so smooth.
YES!!! the ending they werent ready..LOL..Aaliyah was serving it to these people on a plate...I LOVE YOU Aaliyah...
