So it's no secret that I am a big fan of Aaliyah. Today marks the ten year anniversary of her dead, so I think now is a good to for me to remember my favorite songs by her.
Aaliyah wasn't afraid to talk about sex and other taboo topics, which is one reason she was different from other singers of her time. Now, ten years after her death she is still remembered.
Age A'int Nothing But a Number- This is Aaliyah's first big hit. Although she never admitted it, the song was most likely about R.Kelly.
If Your Girl Only Knew- This is another great song, and it's about a homewrecker. What more could you want? At least Aaliyah isn't the problem.
One In a Million- This is Aaliyah's favorite song, and while it's not my favorite song by her it is a good jam.
Are You That Somebody?- This song is from the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack, but it's one of her classics. It's referenced in Young Money's Bedrock and samples Prince.
Try Again- This was Aaliyah's first #1 song, and it has a great message. Try, try again.
Rock the Boat- While filming the video for this song, Aaliyah's plane crashed and took her life. It's a beautiful video and I play it a lot.
More Than A Woman- Another great one with a sick video. Never gets old.
I Miss You- The song has a star-studded group of people paying their respects. If you're ever missing anyone, here's a good song for you.
