If Aaliyah never died, she would have been phenomenal. After The Matrix movies, she probably had more opportunities in Hollywood. I imagine her in Fast & Furious or James Bond, in blockbusters. In music industry, she would have great hits and great featurings with Drake, Chris Brown or Nicki Minaj. She would have been a huge star. I won't compare her to BeyoncĂ©, Aaliyah had her own identity, her own aura and she would have been the Queen đ„ș
I definitely think Aaliyah wouldâve gone further then her peers because Aaliyahâs has a great ear for music I mean her self-title alone sounds like something that could be released today, she wasnât afraid to take risk with her music. The movies she was starring in would have sky rocketed her career, she had the Matrix, Sparkle and more under her belt. Aaliyahâs fashion and makeup is very much ahead of itâs time, I could see her walking the runaways and starring in campaigns for big designer houses. I KNOW I wouldâve been Aaliyah fan if she was still here cause I know she wouldâve been hated on and discredited like she is now, I always Stan artists that get under peopleâs skin and make em mad just by breathing.
Thank you Tony Turner for acknowledging her and giving her all the recognition she deserves.
Always!!! đŻ
She would've been A WORLDWIDE MEGA SUPERSTAR!

I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid , your candle đŻ burned out long before , your Legend ever did !
As a 35 year old who was nearly 16 when she died I can assure you her legend, legacy and career would not be up for debate had she lived, She would no doubt be a global phenomenon, He appeal in multiple countries while she was alive proves it.
I do feel like she wouldâve been similar to Ciara. Like back out of the spotlight, maybe live a more private life because Aaliyahâs always been that way. She stayed out of the industry drama especially after that scandal. I think she would still make music features with artists like Drake, but sheâd still keep herself out of the spotlight as much. Cause again sheâs really mysterious as well.
You know...I could definitely see that!!!
I feel like Aaliyah would have been bigger Than Ciara because she had potential. Cause Drake also reached that superstar level in 2016 and now he's one of the biggest artist of the decade I feel like Aaliyah would have been one of those who may would need more time but still get to that superstar level cause they have the potential
AALIYAH was blossoming the 90's didn't do her right, the 2000's was going to be AALIYAH year of reaping!!!! Aaliyah was the type of artists to out do what she did befoređŻ many should give her credit for that!!! AALIYAH wasn't normal she was peculiarđŻ. AALIYAH always thought ahead of herself remember she had a mindset where she thought outside of the box she was very cutting edge, innovative a trendsetter!!! She was full of surprises periodđŻđŻđŻđș
If Aaliyah was alive, she wouldâve been the biggest artist in todayâs generation
@@happinessD true
@@happinessD Aaliyah is definitely one of the most influential entertainers in the world till this day and just recently âAre You That Somebodyâ just got sampled by two known artists actually allot of her songs still get sampled till this day. Aaliyah inspires half of these new celebrities. Aaliyah wouldnât only be doing music she had a clothing line on the way, makeup collaboration/collection, and on top of that she was on her way to movie stardom. Aaliyah wouldâve been something serious.
@@happinessD Aaliyah literally changed the whole game up with her One In A Million album. Donât even get me started on her self tilted album. You canât be serious. Aaliyah set standards. You mentioned Rihanna yet Rihanna biggest inspiration is Aaliyah.
@@happinessD You sound ignorant. Aaliyah wouldâve definitely fit in the 2010s. Artist like Chris Brown, Drake, ASAP Rocky, Sevyn Streeter etc. sampled Aaliyah. ACTUALLY Aaliyah was very popular in 2011-2014 because of her aesthetic. At this point youâre just typing just to type.
@@happinessD Aaliyah wouldâve fit in any era because she was the trendsetter
Now I walk around the house singing
"IF IT WASN'T FOR TOOOOONY"đ
SOLANGE PUT HER WHOLE FOOT IN THAT SONG
Aye!!!!!! đ„đ„đ„đđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđ€Ł
Lol me too
I'm cryingđđ me too
I think if she was still alive she wouldâve been a Mother and most likely wouldâve had her own record business and so on and so for
She would've took over the acting world too. And still did music and owned her own Record Label. đ Music she would've already conquered.
Fr she would have been like those ones successful in both music and acting and that's more rare.
Aaliyah would've been so big, nobody could describe the success and acclaim she was gonna get. Just like nobody could have guessed what accolades she would achieve 7 years into her career
Tony, the Haughton estate should really take note of your amazing progress.
Thank You đŻđđż
I think if aaliyah was alive, she wouldâve had what rihanna has. and she wouldâve had a grammy and an oscar
I agree! She would've had an Aaliyah brand, like what Fenty is now!
Absolutely! She had that same effortless appeal and was already branching out.
Agree!!!
I definitely agree.
Yep she wanted to start a clothing line with kidada ....she would have branched out into that and the beauty industry for sure . She loved fashion and expressing herself in that way .
In 2001 I was 13 / 14. I actually bought her cds using allowance money. Also downloaded a ton of her songs on Napster and Limewire.
I feel like Aaliyah was in her own lane and iconic, she had her own distinct style and sound that is so well known that people now call it an Aaliyah vibe and you can see her influence in today's r&b artists. She would still be iconic and remembered if she was alive ( even if she didn't become the biggest superstar).
Can we a moment to acknowledge how beautiful Aaliyah looks on this tee-shirt. I love the shirt. Good job!!!!! Amazingggg.
Thank You!!!
Lotta people would have never came out if Aaliyah was still here , lotta girls immediately tried to mimic her but itâs impossible
Artists like Ciara and Ashanti had talent but they were somehow put to replace Aaliyah because I think labels realized Aaliyah fans couldn't really had new music so they thought that it's great idea to make more money with artists that's gonna resample Aaliyah music in some way.
Maybe she wouldâve left Blackground. I have a feeling that the argument that Timbaland had with her, was about her uncle. You tell she had plans, she had movie deals in the works until 2008.
Interesting always wanted to know why they could have had an argument about
I just found out that she actually planned on leaving her uncles label bc she wanted better promotion for herself and to branch herself out there but her uncle realized if she left his label then that means no more money for him !!
I def think sheâd be in between Rihanna and JLo. Because she getting such big footing in Hollywood she woulda had so many movies like JLo. But I do see the beauty thing working for her like Rihanna. I think musically she woulda ran through the 2000s with like 2-3 big more albums. & slowed in the 2010s with a couple songs here and there but mainly focused on acting & beauty.
I just have to stop by and say she is a better singer than those 2, especially Jlo. She would just need to perform more and people would see the light....
agree 100%. 2 more albums in the 00s and then focusing on movies, beauty line + kids in the 2010s
The Neptunes x Aaliyah comeback collab wouldâve been a hit in 2006. I donât know what the song wouldâve been about, but they wouldâve definitely worked together and put her back into the mainstream music scene after her movie era. The Matrix wouldâve solidified her movie stardom I feel.
YES!!!!
Superstardom would have been her destiny. No doubt on that. She was the future.
Definitely!!!
đŻ
I think the reason why we as Aaliyah fans go so hard for her is, because of the way she passed away. It was so tragic and caught us all completely off guard. Had she had passed away from a disease, we wouldnât go as hard as to keeping her legacy alive and making her talent known. We would styll be crushed and sad of course, but probably wouldnât go as hard for her. I hope Iâm wrong. I actually remember the day she passed. I was a big 106@park fan and I had just saw her last interview the day before she passed. I actually found out Saturday night that she had passed, even though she passed away in the daytime on that Saturday. I was 13 at the time as well and me and my sister were big Aaliyah fans. I remember my dad bursting into our room telling us that Aaliyah died. It was around 11:30pm when he told us and at first we thought it was our younger cousin whoâs name is Aaliyah as well and was actually named after Aaliyah. I instantly started crying hard, I couldnât sleep that night. I remember myself just starring at the Aaliyah Poster I had on my wall in complete disbelief that she was gone. I was shooked. The poster was of Aaliyah sitting on the trunk of a car in an all red baggy outfit with her hair covering one eye. I will never forget that dayđđŸâ€ïžđč.
Aaliyah was getting ready to take over the world before she passed soooo much was lined up for her
I wasn't born when she was alive but my mom has always played her music as I grew up and I love her music so I say that I would be a huge fan of her music today.
Thatâs so true i feel A lot of people was fans of her image which is cool too because Aaliyah beauty is unmatched but in a way i feel insulted for her because it should be about her music and the things sheâs done but w.e đ€·ââïž
If she was alive she would have been one of the most decorated artist of our generation if she left blackground records.
What if:
Aaliyah finally got to work with Janet Jackson (they were both on virgin records at the time).
She worked with Korn on the Rock metal track.
She finished filming the Matrix
She left Blackground records
A lot of prominent influential artists always say if Aaliyah was alive a lot of artist wouldnât have the career they did if Aaliyah was still around. She was the trend setter for a lot of female black artists. I think she would still make music with a more mature sound, progress with her acting, have a fashion and make up line. Across between her idols careers Sade and Janet Jackson but in her own time. She wouldnât rush to put out a project half hearted it would be a solid.
Long live aaliyah
Aaliyah wouldâve been a global superstar. Haters always want to have their opinion on something they donât know what they are talking about.
Aaliyah was WELL LOVED before she died! She is your favorite artistâs FAVORITE artist. If you love her now - you would have LOVED her then.
Hey this is a touchy topic and I can see how the what ifs would be amongst people. I will say this though as far as fans go you have different age and era of people that loved her while she was alive and then you have the ones that came after she passed in the wake of other major female artist. For me I grew up with Aaliyah in 1994 and loved her then but really appreciated the woman that was Aaliyah in 2001. She became so huge for us here in Detroit, yet she was becoming bigger in the 2000's. I can remember wanting her to leave blackground records and go to EPIC records or some other major label because she deserved that major stardom,success and huge backing from a label that truly believed in her and wanted to do right by her career and she did. So long story short I would have loved her either way local success or international success, but I do believe from what I saw and lived through and the effects of her artisty since today she would've been major yet with that private life like a Sade and Janet. As far as her death goes she will always be remembered for many things, but the reality of her death is stuck in everyone minds especially us that grew up with her it hurts, it never sits right with us because she was special and you can always tell when someone was about to become international. Thank you.
@Truth Seeker she begin saying in 2001 from my memory.
Wooow. Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt comment. I know that fans and supporters from a star's HOMETOWN definitely hit different as far as their love for the star. Aaliyah is EVERYTHING.
@@SOULarLioness your welcome and yes it does. She is still our Princess. Though most people become distant memories after they pass away we try our best to remember her still and show support still inspite of.
They're ALL beautiful, don't get me wrong. But Aaliyah had a totally different appeal then Brandy and Monica. Not to mention she had her hands in other things. Modeling, acting and fashion. As far as loving her lol I loved her so much, I fasted for a week in prayer for her family when she died. I don't diefy her because she passed, I loved her when I was a kid. She was that girl! Everybody wanted the swoop over the eye, the bandana, and baggy pants... Even though most people looked a mess trying to copy lol.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I feel like if aaliyah would be still alive she would of took over the r&b / fashion & actin even more
Yaasss
She definitely would of been at superstar status ! Her first number 1 wasnât until 2000! I think she was definitely going to cross over her sound and look was set up for it you can especially hear that in her self titled album. In her song loose rap sheâ says âToo many times, I hear you trying knocking my crew
But, we got something for all the fools
It ain't just rhythm and blues (Mmm)
If you just quit trying to compete, yeah
No telling what you could be
Might even be doper than me, I doubt itâ basically saying she not just doing R&B and she had competition and she was going to change her sound! She also was working with new a popular artist at the time ! She was around roc nation and irv gotti ! That says a lot! Definitely in that first decade of the 2000s she would be on fire ! Then as we know her moves as well ! She was booked for a 7 movie deal ! She was ahead ! She was more creative and I wanna say up with the times than Brandy and Monica ! She also had experimental looks and this edge that they didnât have
She will still be Popular and Beautiful đ» as ever, Aaliyah was a Fan of mines.When she passed I was so sad and crying đą it felt like it wasnât true,So I feel you Tony ,Iâm with you ,Much love đ to All Aaliyah Fans and her Family,RIP and I still feel the same way about you as if you never left us .đ„°đđđđđđđŻ
I tapped on here so fast because what you be saying is true facts đŻđŻ
Thank You đŻđŻđŻđđżđđżđđż
I believe Aaliyah would be one of the biggest stars of the 2000s and would at least be neck and neck with BeyoncĂ©. She wouldâve ve definitely made it big as an actress, and I think itâs possible that she couldâve been a trendsetter R&B music in the 00s.
I wonder what would happen if Left Eye hadnât died in 2002.
Left eye cancelled by twitterđđ
@@ajat3202 How?
@@andreastory800 Left eye definitely do more things like burning the house & saying stuff this generation wouldnât like
@@ajat3202 Iâd love to see what Left Eye wouldâve posted!!!
I was a fan of Aaliyah before she died considering we are both from Michigan and I vaguely have a memory of seeing her in her limo...I was like 10 or 11 when she died so I remember a lot about her and her career before she died...so it's so funny when people say that you are only a fan because she died (like they know me) or she wasn't even that big when she was alive because I thought she was...to me she was a mega superstar...she was my favorite female singer and second singer next to MJ...
I didn't even listen to brandy or Monica so its funny that people try to compare her career to theirs..she out-sold them both...I didn't even hear about brandy until Moesha and even then paid her little attention...and Monica I didn't know about her until the boy is mines and years later with her solo stuff that I still didn't listen to...
I remember wearing my one and only Aaliyah shirt that I had for years because back then you couldn't find stuff and nobody ever said a thing...like they didn't even know her...and sometimes when I would talk about her people acted as if they didn't know who she was...like how she was huge in the 90s and early 00's...its so weird because when she came up years after her death people acted as if they didn't know her...I had to really break down who she was before they got it...
Great Video Again....let me give my opinion on some things
1. The matrix trilogy would had got her up there
2. Sparkle WOULD HAD BEEN CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
3. Makeup line, hair care.....think a blueprint of fenty
4. One more album and then slowly moved to singles and Ep's
5. She would been more movies and production
6. 2 kids maybe 3
7. Business woman
Agree!!!!
@@TonyTurner And just think of the voice of Whitney circa 2004 as Sparkle mother for the sparkle remake....her and whitney My God in heaven!!!
_I read an article which Kidada talked about baby girl which they wanted to create a clothing line which Aaliyah told to Kidada that she wants to get married and have kids with her baby boo_
Aaliyah wouldnât be on that brandy and Monica level in 2021 her creativity was on a higher level câmon now she had people like missy and timbaland around her thereâs no way she would fade away she was a foward thinker đŻ Aaliyah would have been good trust me even now this woman been dead for like 2 decades and STILL relevant with no music on streaming platforms and still being talked more than brandy and Monica on blogs đ€·ââïž and theyâre alive
@Swinter set You don't know for sure and Aaliyah was already more popular than them by 2001.
@@swinterset4732 Not the way her career was heading.
@Swinter set That's your opinion. Many ppl think otherwise
@@swinterset4732 It's one thing to think of hypotheticals for yourself but to make it like you know for sure is another.
@@swinterset4732 Ok and there are obviously ppl that don't care and bash Aaliyah any chance they get đ€·đŸââïž
I'm 34. I was 15 in the 10th grade. All my close friends loved her as well as I. We always listened to her music on my porch. One of my friends named her daughter Alayah. She was the best to us. We wore our hair like hers and I dress like her still. She was a very big influence on us. I miss her and I love you for asking this question. I still think I would most definitely be a fan. I remember it coming across the TV screen... I bump her daily. My song I'm on now is girl like you with her and Trench
I see Aaliyah continuing to do music but she wouldâve been an even bigger actress. Also I could see her having her own empire of fashion or make up. Big things were in store for her. Smh âWhat Ifâsâ are so sad.
@TonyTurner I was born in 89 and was 5 when Aaliyah came out in 1994! I was a fan when she came out but grew to love her more as I got older and could understand her lyrics.....Very Interesting Question?!?! Honestly, its hard to say because she was just a different artist. Im a fan of BRANDY as well but Brandy lost my connection when the style of her music didn't blend in the 2000s! Aaliyah was special though and had a warmth and glow that probably would have keep me drawn to her. I do wonder if I would have been AS BIG of a fan of hers if she was still here!!.....I do think she would have been successful still and a HUGE SUPERSTAR. Now Aaliyah music style was changing as the 90s era of music ended but I don't know how she would of stood out amongst her peers. She definitely would have owned the acting lane and fashion. Being that I'm such a big fan of hers, I hate to compare record sales but while alive as you mentioned in a previous video she couldn't outsale Brandy nor Monica. Brandy nor Monica became A-List Celebrities. Brandy did become a major B-List celebrity with all of her lead acting roles etc. With that being said, Its just hard to say if Aaliyah would have been big A-list celebrity due to her music. Her label made bad decisions which hurt her career and then her fall out with her producers. SO MANY VARIABLES!! :-/ I'll close with this, Her dating Damon Dash would have def given her leverage to blossom even more in the industry due to his music knowledge which I'm sure would have helped her.
Tell me what you think :-)
I was 10 i was DEVASTATED, i remember my mom calling me in her room cause she had promised to take me to a concert and to this day my heart just hurts because she was definitely going to be huge she was amazing đą
i love her song WHAT IF â€ïž
Good one đ đ„
@@TonyTurner these are the Facts đ
I'm definitely not the person to ask. Aaliyah is very near and dear to my heart. She means a lot to me. When I see her I see myself. Sometimes I forget she's dead and when it hits me its feels like I've been living in a parallel universe this whole time where she is still alive and I get zapped back to this reality. I can't be the only one who feels this lol. I'm going to reframe from answering these hypotheticals because I'm going to be biased. But I definitely agree that Aaliyah is an aesthetic. And I get that, because she's obviously very beautiful and her style, makeup, hair was before itâs time. A lot of people still imitate that look. I see so many MUA recreating her best looks. But I think thatâs where it stops with some people. They just like the superficial when it comes to Aaliyah.
Exactly!! Aaliyah is my idol sheâs someone I admire and want to be and itâs crazy how I look a her interviews or listen to her music I always forget that she passed đ€ŠđŸââïž, because when I listen to her I feel like sheâs still alive but Then I get back into reality đ„șđ€ŠđŸââïžand remember sheâs no longer here with us . I 100% believe that if she was alive today she would have a lot of Grammys and oscars awards and have people doing tribute to her music at award shows , I just imagine her there watching people appreciating her hard work sitting with her parents and Rashad , missy , Timbaland . đ„ș mad I wish she was here
Aaliyah last album showed her growth and music versatility. Then she was the first to do a lot in pop culture and R&B culture. She was already known worldwide but I feel like she wouldâve been an all time great musician/artist cause she was so versatile in the terms of modeling,fashion,music, movies and etc. She couldâve been way bigger than just an artist you know. Her aesthetic taste was very broad and appealing so that would attract all kinds of audiences.
For example her music videos , her style , persona , song versatility , and the way she articulate herself is very appealing to different kinds of audiences. This is just how I feel.
Genuinely love all of the Aaliyah shirts you own and wear in your videos!!
And to one of your What ifs. I donât think I wouldâve been an Aaliyah superfan if she was still alive but an avid casual listener. Journey to the past had a hold on me ever since I first heard that song back when I was 5/6.
Thank You!!!
Reminds me a lot of TLC too there nostalgia acts hits on hits in the 90's but no hits in the 00's I wonder if Left Eye was still here how longer there run would've been and even more success potentially.
I would like to believe that if Left Eye didnât die that TLC wouldâve still been big in the 00s but would probably decline after.

I think if she never had transition we would still be fans, my sister talked about growing up in the 90s and how it was a big deal to have her in your playlist. Also seeing how she stood out from everyone else. I was born â95 so I got a chance to start knowing her in the early 2000s.
I think you Tony would have a IG fan page or she would have acknowledged you in some way. I donât think much would change on our end far as listening to her.
But her growing, I think she would eventually leave the label and do things ahead of time that everyone doing now. Far as, creating her own label and owning her masters because dame dash talked so much about that. đđŸ
Agreed!!!
No one no 1 can match aaliyah spirit
Aaliyah was definitely on her way to mega stardom. So very sad that she no longer with us. Continue to rest easy in paradise baby girl. đđâ€ïžâ€ïž
đđŸđđŸđđŸđđŸ
To be completely honest, Aaliyah would have just been in her own lane doing her if she was alive today. She would have not been on a huge superstar level which she was not concerned about either. She loved living her actual life & she loved to make music from time to time. She even said herself she needs to take breaks from music in general (which can be overwhelming) & just lay low, have fun & live a private life. To me that doesn't sound like anyone who is fame hungry...which is ok. Not everyone is thirsty to be this huge famous celebrity & Aaliyah definitely was not one obsessed for fame.
I love Aaliyah and her Art.
Me too always đŻ
Thank you!! For the videos. Keep her alive! I am fan that grew up with her. I had multiple photos of her on my wall. I love her so much.
She wouldâve had a very consistent career. Not entirely a huge international artist (because she didnât need to be) but nonetheless successful in music, film, television, and other business ventures. Aaliyah had four films, two TV shows, and a clothing line in the works. She was about to embark on the biggest tour of her entire career so I think her exposure throughout the 2000s wouldâve been big. I think she definitely wouldâve left her label and made up with Timbaland and Missy E. and they all wouldâve made great music together circa 2007-2009. Think Will Smith, Queen Latifah, and Selena Gomez when thinking about the potential with Aaliyah. Now obviously, with the latter comparison Aaliyah is and was a much more critically acclaimed artist and clearly made better music but you canât deny the large brand that Selena Gomez has in the industry. Not to mention, Aaliyah was in the process of collaborating with heavy weights like Whitney Houston, The Isley Brothers, Nine Inch Nails, and Janet Jackson.
I always think about how big Aaliyah was about to be before she died . I know she was about to be one of the biggest artists . Especially in Hollywood. Her acting career was about to blow up especially with the Matrix sequals and I know Jessicca Alba's role in Honey was supposed to be Aaliyah's role. Also she had a upcoming role in Sparkle with Whitney Houston . I also read on a CZcams video of Aaliyah that she was supposed to have a 7 movie deal with Warner Brothers up to 2008 which I beleive. I also heard that she had a clothing line that was upcoming with Kidada Jones called Dolly Pop. Which was supposed to be with Kidadda Jones. But great video Tony
In my opinion: One of the biggest problems that would have been against Aaliyah being bigger if she was alive is her record label. Yes, Aaliyah was big but she wasnât getting the numbers that the mainstream superstars were getting and a lot of that is due to her label. There is a huge possibility that Aaliyah career would have went down with background records just like Ashanti career did when Murder Inc started going down or Ciara. It could have been extremely possible that Aaliyah would have had trouble getting out of her contract and not being able to become bigger moving forward like Jojo with background records. Especially considering the fact that her uncle still hasnât even made her music available for her fans. I personally donât think she would have gotten to a BeyoncĂ© or Rihanna level due to her uncle alone and it is unfortunate but he wasnât a good businessman like Mathew Knowles was for BeyoncĂ© and Jay Z was for Rihanna. We really just never know.
The Monique clip đđ always have me dying
đ đ đ
I would have been a fan alive or not alive love her no matter what rip baby girl
Iâm about to be 25 and I LOVE her music, so u definitely believe I wouldâve been a big fan of her
TEAM AAYLIAH FOREVER â€đđđâ€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
It's interesting that you asked if you would've still been a fan during the time she was still with us because I was just thinking the other that I knew OF Aaliyah in 2001, but I wasn't necessarily a fan. I was actually a huge Destiny's Child fan though(girl groups were just more interesting to me back then) and remember wanting to meet them so this definitely makes me think đ€. But I think that as I got a bit older, I would have appreciated Aaliyah more and become a fan of hers if she were still alive. No question about that â€ïž
I remember picturing of what if Aaliyah playing the sparkle Aaliyah giving upâ€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€ that would cool I am a Aaliyah fan Aaliyah is my everything too
The label plays the biggest role in artists success. Artist big like Justin Bieber and Beyonce wouldn't have the same success with some random label. As u see most successful artist are signed to label like Atlantic or Columbia records so that's why they more successful. I think it's not that much about the talent. But the potential will identify if you gon be one hit wonder or if you gon be superstar. I think Aaliyah had that potential of superstar so if she moved to a better label she would automatically be bigger.
Man, I wish she hadn't been so dang loyal to her uncle's label đ©đ€Šđżââïž You have an excellent point that her second most successful single, Are You That Somebody, should have catapulted her to international mega-stardom, and as with Try Again, I am curious as to what kind of offers she received following it's success. It's so frustrating because she was right on the cusp of being one of the biggest artists to ever grace the planet. A phenomenon. So many missed opportunities! đ
Sydney Asian here, I have only her music and movies. I enjoy her work... a t-shirt, unless it is for charity(something she would like), I don't see the appeal of just buying a t-shirt. I often say she's one of my favorite singers of all time, it wasn't fair that she died at 22. I was just getting into her... I believe that she would have had at least the same market share as Rihanna. She had several more albums in her, I feel, and she hardly reached her peak. I think she would have had a choice to be like Mandy moor, or like Beyonce, but I think she would have been between those 2 levels of fame. I like Beyonce for Beyonce, and I love Aaliyah for Aaliyah. not fair to compare, Aaliyah stood on her own, Beyonce cannot count her #1 hits without DC. I also find Beyonce's latest songs a bit off.
I think my girl would be 70 percent popular but if it was up too me she should most definitely be million times popular
If Aaliyah was alive she would be BIG she wouldâve be in more movies! Also she wouldâve been a great mother and she wouldâve toured to different states and stuff like that. Maybe her children wouldâve acted or sang and more things like that.
Yes!!! I also think about if Aaliyah's children would've gotten into the industry
I donât wanna seem morbid, but I sometimes wonder what if she survived the plane crash? The Cessna was 50-60 feet in the air and rescuers werenât far away, so they arrived quickly. The plane was only 200 feet from runway 27.
3 ppl survived the impact, her bodyguard Scott being one. He was able to talk about what happened and drag himself from the wreckage. Too bad he and the other 2 died. Her crash was bad, but not next to impossible to survive like Kobeâs.
I wonder that too. It's hard to think about how life would've been for her had she survived.
Honestly when you look at it aaliyah would be Rihanna big and plus she would get bigger just like forever 21 did if she had time to make the clothing line
Hi Tony! I love your channel very much, I think you're the mouthpeice for fans of Aaliyah, and pretty much a (real) journalist too. đ Very interesting questions that I myself agree with, especially if I would have liked her or other artists if they haven't passed. đ€·đŸââïž
Hey! A few months ago, on a show that I watch (called 'blackish'; I think you might be familiar) one of the characters wore the exact same shirt in this video!!!!! I literally could not even focus on the story line because HE WAS WEARING AALIYAH đ. And i instantly wondered the same thing you did, like, are they fan-fans or like the vets? Lol. He was around my age and it's the norm that not many young'ns listen to the classics, you know. đ But check out the shirt! Google search "color bars x aaliyah t shirt black " it just has a colorful background to it. Great job and keep it up. đđœ
Thank You!!!
If Aaliyah was still alive I know for a fact Aaliyah Would have been a global major artist super creative from her Hair to the style she wore and we not even gonna talk about her acting skills in movies I just believe it baby girl was here This would have definitely been her time right now in of course she would have been put out another album 20 years prior to the album that she last release I really miss Aaliyah a lot there's not A-day go by I don't think about her
!!!
If Aaliyah was still alive she wouldâve been HUGE!!!!! Also I am new to your channel love your videos đ„°đ„°đ„°
Thank You!!!
@@TonyTurner your welcome â€ïž
Love the topic, Tony! First and foremostâŠAaliyah was a TRAILBLAZER, a TRENDSETTER, she had/still has bitches PRESSEDT! Aaliyah was well on her way to POPPINâ OFF! Remember what the dude said on behind the scenes of âRomeo Must Die.â Aaliyah is the HOT NEW THING! She was literally in demand EVERYWHERE. She was falling back off the music scene and going more into her acting bag. She was booked for movies all the way up to 2008! Thatâs a long time considering she passed in 2001! She was growing in her artistry. Iâm sure she would finally break away from Blackground, sign to a MAJOR label or maybe even go independentâŠwho would treat her right, sheâd gain more control of what she wanted to do with her projects. Her clothing line with Kidada woulda came out and THAT woulda been fly because everybody was and is already influenced by her style. How many girls and women out here tried to style their hair with the signature BANG OVER THE EYE??? If Aaliyah wouldnât have diedâŠI STILL wouldâve found out about her and I STILL would admire her as a role model and I STILL would be a STAN. Brandy and Monica were industry puppets to a certain degree. No shade. JustâŠ.manufactured. Brandy was the so-called good girl and Monica was the âhoodâ chickâŠand Aaliyah was just a mysterious Angel who kept it real ALL THE WAY AROUND. AlsoâŠmy own home girlâŠ.whoâs in her 50s said that Aaliyah was âjust alrightâ and she said she doesnât get the hype around her. Soooo to avoid getting into a heated debateâŠI just fade off from that and change the subject.
AlsoâŠI HAVE seen a rise in people wearing Aaliyah shirts. I saw a white woman at Target with an Aaliyah shirt, I saw a black teen girl at the park with an Aaliyah shirtâŠ.Iâve seen her shirts in stores. And thatâs a good question about whether or not folks wear the shirt for âaestheticsâ or for the artist? Either way, sheâs still in a wayâŠbeing exposed to the world.
AlsoâŠ.donât you think itâs a bit contradictory of us to say that Aaliyah was INTERNATIONAL, WORLDWIDEâŠbut then turn around and act surprised that folks know who she is? This is what we want, right?
TRUE. And yeah sometimes I just get caught off guard by who reacts to my shirt but it reassures me that Aaliyah is still widely known by the masses.
Where I live I promise you that most of the teens would know rolling stone songs. Nirvana, AC/DC, Rolling Stones - they're all popular band shirts.
I wouldn't rate fans at all.. The music is an art so everyone takes the parts they can relate or appreciate and they keep it alive. I also don't think it matters at what point someone becomes a fan. We often don't appreciate what we have until its gone. So I don't think you're less of a fan because you didn't get a chance to test how much support you would have shown. I think what would matter to her is that someone does care today & is keeping her legacy/music talked about.
I agree there is something so strange that her team /family hasn't done more for her legacy. You know they have probably been given a lot of opportunities to do different projects. I don't know if they are still so hurt they just want to keep her to themselves or what...its just strange.
I do feel if your aware of a singers & decide to pay attention after death then it not really authentic
She would have been huge her and Selena
Yes!!!! Watching the Selena series now too
I think that Aaliyah would be on top and would have accomplish the things she would of had an venture of in a lot of movies won grammys and academy awards. She would have a beautiful family I can see her with sons and like one daughter and just family oriented. She wouldn't age that much cause you know Black don't Crack lol and Just living her best life and still doing tours for ppl I believe on her down timeđ
I know a lot of people say if Aaliyah was still here, Beyonce wouldn't be where she is, but I think they would be neck to neck. They are both great talents. I would have love to see how the clothing line Aaliyah and kidada were planning to do called dolly pop would have turned out and how popular it would be. I wonder how aaliyah's music sound would evolve throughout the years and today. She would have definitely been a fashion trend setter. I have so many what ifs about Aaliyah's career and progression and it irritates me because we'll never know .
If you think about it there have been a lot of young artist who passed away due to a tragedy accidents but arenât really talked about today. Aaliyah fans love her music and who she was as a artist. I donât think you can disregard that we are still talking about her influence in 2021 when she passed in 2001.
đđżđđżđđżđđż
True after all these years I donât see too many fan pages of different artists.I usually see Aaliyah or amy winehouse
If she would had been alive by now she would had been a mom maybe of two married but not dame she would of had a lot of movies under her belt nominee for an Oscar. With a business and maybe 3 more album after her red album and yes she would had been in Rihanna level.
Maybe like the Rihanna vibe I think she would give us mixed with Beyoncé private but interactive with her fans
Yes!!!
I was on this video fast!
Thank You!!! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđż
@@TonyTurner no problem đ
Aaliyah wouldâve been in BeyoncĂ© position but bigger she wouldâve been in more movies clothing line modeling but idk how long she wouldve been in that evil industry
That part đ€đŻ
How popular do yall think Aaliyah would've been today if she was here? Music wise? Fashion wise? đ€
I think she wouldve been better than Beyonce and wouldve been Legendary and Iconic.
She'd be perfect for this era of "Branding & Marketing" in terms using social media to build her brand outside of music, just like the "influencers" do today!
HUGE
Rihanna and J Lo type stuff
@@chileee133 Those two names always come up. I agree đđŸ
Listen man in 15 years old and im Virgo of the old school not the New school i wish i was bron in September 8th 1975 which i was bron on September 8th I'm glad i am a Virgo in 1994 I've would have been 19 years old I've wish i was a teenager in the early 90s I'm am rapper I've would have been a superstar in early 1990s a acter a artist that draws pictures. A rapper I've could have met aaliyah tupac biggie Nas DMX Ja Rule dr Dre Jay z lil bow wow Merlin Santana Ray j Johnnie tayler Eminem Mariah Carey ll cool j all superstars u name it even acter and actress in the 90s i wish i was in the 90s so bad man so i can remember them from the 90s to the 2000s it would have been fun if i was there i would fly back in the day off top so i tell these stories years later even though i wasn't bron i would still listen to oldschool thank u for this message Tony Turner God bless u.
Aaliyah would have TAKEN OVER THE WORLD EVEN MOREâŠbecause think about her CHARACTER. That woman literally acted ONE WAY a all her life. EVERYBODY talks about how warm, sweet, pure, genuine her energy is. And THAT is more of a reason to me. See, her music wouldnât be GHOST from the world. She WOULD be available on streaming platforms. She probably wouldâve fought for her masters at some point, etc. I donât see Aaliyah, an artist who was AHEAD OF HER TIMEâŠ.I donât see her as someone who would get âplayed out.â Remember, people are doing NOW in 2021 what she did in 2001, 2000, 1998, etc. People would still be tryna keep up with HER.
I think to wonder anything else is low key insulting. We see how hard she worked. She was ALWAYS pushing for the next big project for herself. She NEVER let herself get comfortable in any one success. She would have broken free of raggedy-ass Barry and Blackground and she would have worked with so many other people. Everyone was attracted to her genuine spirit. She would have gone so farâŠ.she would have gotten married and had a family at some point, too. And yes, once again, she would be on her SadeâŠnot all up in social media. Sheâd be like, âI came, I slayed, I went home.â Lol.

Another insightful video! That's an interesting question if she didn't pass away would you, me or so many others be such huge fans of hers?! Yes she shouldn't be remember for being a singer who died almost 20 years ago. She was so much more than that.
Right!!!
Hey tony any thoughts of the singer H.E.R.?
I think she's talented and I enjoy her singing style.
âWhat ifâshe was alive
If she was still alive she probably wouldâve been a mom or something
@@HARDINTHEPAINTKICKZISREAL ya like Mariah Carey sheâs a mom and makes stuff here and there
Aaliyah would of been a billionaire. Unstoppable đ 18:46 TAWKKKKKKK!
If Aaliyah would have lived. She would have most definitely been a bigger full on entertainer than she already was at the time. I could see her winning an Oscar and some Grammys. đ€đčđđ„
Keep them coming I love watching you, you be connecting the dots
Thank You đ
Thank you!
đđđ
At 12:25, I get what you're saying Tony. People rocking either because she passed or they love her image on the shirt but didn't really follow her like that. But you're right, for Rock Bands, that was a big thing in the early 2000s! Alot people were rocking Motley Crue shirts & shit back then!
Yup!!!
Yes I would
Good discussion
Thanks man!!! đŻ
@@TonyTurner đŻđŻ
My what if thoughts is that the self titled album would have been her last album. It wouldâve a battle with Blackground ( cause you know her shady ass uncle ) did the red tour then in then she would have movies , tv shows , and maybe Broadway ( who knows ) then she wouldâve release the fourth album after 6-8 years start a family not with dame. I think she wouldâve had a beauty empire with Eric also have a kids clothing brand with Kidada (I hope I spelt her name correctly) lastly she wouldâve tapped into her business bag
