Aaliyah was 14 when she recorded this song, at the start she says May 5th 1993, Aaliyah's Diary...and here she is grinding slowly on Nick TV... it's so mental how as kids we didn't even see it...yet she certainly had many many adults around her.
A song about an underage girl singing to her older lover that she is more mature than her age would let on being sung on a kids TV show. The 90s were wild.
She was only doing what she was told. She was obviously extremely young and did what the adults told her to. He wrote a song about her and made it her song because she was crushing on him..
Aaliyah was one of the best and will NEVER EVER be forgotten. Her vocals on this performance was so mature for a 15 year old girl. You can tell she was a Sanger not just a singer.
These kids were so lucky to have seen her live. I'm glad I grew up during this era. The generation today just doesn't have music/performances/artists like this anymore. I love watching Aaliyah's live performances. RIP to an angel. We miss you.
I was a kid back in 94’ singing this song 😫Awkward!!! A 15 year old Aaliyah Singing about a young girl sexing a grown man on a family/kids network, song written by one and the only pied Piper his self R Kelly.... Subliminal messages RIGHT IN OUR FACES !!!! 😫😫😫 #survivingrkelly Super disturbing
Cassidy Banks they really were tho😂😂 then when she said "so what's up" the dudes went crazy when she said "come here, age ain't nothing but a number" dude with the white shirt was pointing to hisself fanning hisself😂😂😂
Ppl criticize her Live vocals she chose to sing low live and in my opinion it’s good cuz you can still hear her runs in her lower deeper tone she sung if she chose to as well she was great man

She's on a Dan "Get her in the van" Schneider show performing a song written by the pissy pied Piper about a child being attracted to an adult. They were really playing in our freaking faces back then smh
OMG. I remember watching this when it first aired! Back when things were simple. I cant believe it'll be 10 yrs since her death this August. Always will love Aaliyah's music no matter how old it is...
Us 90's kids were young adults. We are in no way a reflection of today's youth! We had common sense to understand mature music for exactly what it was. No one had reasons to be concerned about lyrical content on kids shows back then. It's this new generation of kids that are inadequate to our maturity level of yesterday. Which makes songs like this seem alarming from a viewing point of today's society.
Ok first, let us forget that R. Kelly ever happened for a second. This is actually a teen-song that makes perfect sense. There are many ways the lyrics could be interpreted. If you listen to the album version of the song, it establishes that the girl is writing on a diary (which many teenage girls actually did back in the 90s). Meaning, everything she is narrating in the song is a mere fantasy of hers. It could be that she is a high school freshman who has a big crush on a senior. It is not really clear how huge the age gap is. Or it could be that her crush is her math teacher. And he fantasizes about him through his diary. Sure some of the lyrics could be a little sexual but sexual awakenings happen during those years. So in either case, if you think about it objectively, is it uncommon for teenage girls to have crush and fantasize on older men? In fact some of you reading this may have fond memories of similar experiences that you laugh about it now. But indeed it is unfortunate we would learn about the true dark meaning behind this song
This All That stage was actually my favorite of them all because it resembles a playground somewhere in an alley. That door going up is rarely shown because sometimes after the musical guest intro, the door is already up.
thank you im a guy and i used to love Aaliyah and All That and i remember this and i been looking for this for years havnt seen this since i was like 8 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! R.I.P Aaliyah
I used to watch All That when I was a kid. I don't remember this performance but dang, I'm surprised they let her sing such a naughty song on a kid network.
Wow I was 13 during this video and Aaliyah was the hot new young R&B Princess. What a time to be a teen! I miss the 90s ❤ 2:30 explains how us fans rocked with Aaliyah right there. 😂
@gabri2889 omg yes. those were like the golden times. it was so fun back then and so many good artist like aaliyah brandy TLC and many more. i wish i could go back for just one day
@419dopeboy well they did have change the lyrics lol from "Tonight we're gonna go all the way" to "Tonight we're gonna go round the way" and 'let me show you to Ecstasy" to "let me show you How it could be" Lol

Things weren’t so PC in the 90s some things that were in kids show before would be probably in the news now if they aired or get “Cancelled”

Rest in peace aaliyah I like 4 of her songs
The audience was working their hair scrunchies. I miss the 90's
this style originates from the 80s
The tom boy Aaliyah had so much swag 😭
Cassidy Banks too much sauce
Don't think she was a tomboy. That gangsta look was just really in style back then. Aaliyah was extremely feminine and classicly beautiful.
U D E N i A B L E🌟 ☝️ of a kind 🕊🤍🕊 😇
@@winnienguyen4420 she stated she was a Tom boy and she was the best one at that
@@winnienguyen4420 yeah that style is for girls too. The term Tomboy is just too retro for me…
I love how she said "round the way" instead of "all the way" lol
man her style was slammin. i loved her style n how she always were them glasses. the 90's was truly the best decade
she was 1 in a million. RIP babygurl

Aliv A im 16 and hate todays music
R&b is slowly coming back we have some females who are putting on for the culture
Facts
She walked out there like,Yeah I know I'm the SHIT!! LOL I LOVE HER
It's hard to believe she's gone almost 20 years😭😭😭 we love you Aaliyah
its 20 years now in aug 2021
Shut up meg
90's so gangsta we had Aaliyah singing Age aint nothing but a number on a kids Tv Show and Network
That’s not gangsta, that’s weird
Right! And we didn’t even bat an eye 😂
It was cute how Aaliyah changed a few words around. Lol
Tony Turner she was only 16 or so lol
Rodney Greene at this time Aaliyah was only 15. She was signed at 14 the year before
I think Aaliyah should have performed "Back and forth" instead.

Of all the musical guests they had on this show, Aaliyah was definitely among the finest of performers. R.I.P.
Happy I’m a 90s kid and grew up seeing this 💪🏽 1990
Those little kids in the audience were thirsty af. Everytime those backup dancers were grinding; they were screaming.
HA! That's...hilarious.

Right.
Truth
I miss my childhood. 80's baby but the 90's made me! TV was great then!
Poor Aaliyah this song was written by R. Kelly and it was about how they got married secretly when Aaliyah was only 15 years old
So sad this song intentions, and being sung to a room of kids, from a kid, written by her abuser, brings me to 😭

for the rest of my life ill always love aaliyah she was kind sweet n had curtousey in herself n had a good role model in her soul
The way she said “age ain’t nothin’ but a number” was so cute.
this song is a treasure Aaliyah is treasure...Always In my mind and heart...♥ R.I.P Babygirl
Aaliyah and that unique swag man. A sexy G.

i guess the ppl at nick didnt now wat the song meant
that's exactly what I was wondering 😂 talking bout doing the thang on a kids channel lol
Well I noticed, Aaliyah changed a few of the lyrics for this performance soo I'm guessing someone informed her too do so.
In this performance I noticed she says "around the way". lol
They know what's up. Most of the people working on kids things in Hollywood are pedophiles.
Different times couldn't get away with this now
Aaliyah for ever😍🎶🎵
this was when i fell in love with her. miss her soooo much.
Wish I was a teen in the 90’s !!! I had to be born mid 90’s .

She was shy!
How

this makes me miss being a kid. i wish i could go back to 1995 for a day
