It has been 15 years since you are gone Baby Girl and each and every year is as hard as previous one. We still catch ourselves on wondering what if? This day proves to be the hardest one, but we swore to ourselves to not cry, but to cherish your life. Rest in peace, we love you and miss you… Always.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl :)

Stunning Aaliyah at The Academy Awards 1998 ♥

I trusted God, because he knows the best where I am needed.

About herself:

I’ve always been a mysterious person. Who knows? Maybe when I play the Queen of the Damned, I’ll become a real vampire, so watch out for me at night ;)

About love:

If I was going to fall in love, the guy would have to respect my freedom and independence and be… family-oriented. I want to have a big family!

About her music:

Each of my song is my baby. I love and care for each one of them, they all have their story and message.

About fame:

I think that you have to let people miss you. Fame feeds with fans hunger and every artist should remember that.

About life:

People not always respect me. How can I fight with them, when they keep telling that I’m too young, and on top of that I’m a woman and I’m black.

About death:

Just as my beloved grandmother passed away I believed in death. But I’m not afraid because it will never find me.

Aaliyah & her dad Michael being interviewed while their visit in Amsterdam in 1995 ♥

Michael Haughton: I guess I’m like any father who’s child doing well. So, you feel good about it.

Aaliyah: A lot of parents can be kind of strict but he’s (Michael) really cool, we have fun together, like a homie you know?

Michael: She’s like most daughters. She can have her little mists of time hearing. She’s a very mature person for age, you know..and um.. I really haven’t have a lot of problems, really cause she’s too busy to get into trouble.

Aaliyah *laughs*

Michael: She’s like any other kid, you know…she has her moments, and pretty much, you know lives a normal life as we can get with, of her being in this business.

She handled herself like a lady. I definitely think anyone that has that aura that she had about her, has to have a great family. There was just something about her aura. You wanted to talk to her, you wanted to know her.

Aaliyah had a big influence on all of us. She was the first major young female artist to come out [in her generation]. We are about the same age, so it was very inspiring to see someone like that. She went to a performing arts high school and so did I. I just really related to her. It made me feel like, alright if she can come out and she’s young, so can I. It gave me inspiration and hope that we could do the same thing.

Her voice was so smooth, it was so sexy and soft. She cold do a lot of interesting things with her range. She could go very high and she could go very low. Her tone was just beautiful, it was sultry and sexy. But the most amazing thing is she could dance so well and sing so well, too. She just had this whole cool sexy vibe about her, the way she performed in videos and live. It even came across when she talked. But even though she was sexy she was still sweet and wholesome at the same time. There weren’t too many people like that. 

I would have loved to have worked wih her, definitely. Her and Timbaland, they had a whole magic when they went into a studio and I could never wait to see what the next album was gonna be like. She always had a sound that was hot. Aaliyah was the first celebrity to really embrace us. Everyone else was nice and they were cool but she was like extra sweet to us. And she hung out with us. She had just gotten her driver’s license so she came to the hotel and picked us up and we went to the mall.

It was hard for us to keep in touch, because you know how it is, with us doing a record and with her doing records and movies, we were always on the go. So we only really saw each other at awards shows. But I know it was always refreshing to see her and I was excited. I interviewed her two times for the MTV Movie Awards. I did the pre-show. I was really nervous about doing that because it’s hard talking to celebrities sometimes. I was so happy and relieved when I got to interview her because she made me feel so comfortable, everytime.
