One of Aaliyah's biggest inspirations was another singer, Sade Adu. One of Aaliyah's comments was that she loved how soft Sade's voice was while still remaining soulful.
Aaliyah could definitely belt and had more range than she showcased in most of her songs, she just chose to keep her vocals soft/ relaxed on a lot of her studio tracks. I don’t know if “The One I Gave My Heart To” is gonna be in this Top 5 week, but that song is definitely one of her best vocal moments
When she did Giving Up a Donny Hathaway cover I think was for a movie she was in talks to do with Whitney Houston that just never happened but like a decade later but with Jordan Sparks as lead. ❤
I think the brightness of her outfit was to enhance the fact that she had passed prior to the release of this video. Enhancing the heavenly association of our Aaliyah. This video came out after she passed.
The director, Dave Meyers, says this video was expensive to make. She starts off in the engine, then the headlights, & finally the stereo🔥 It came out after she passed. More than a Woman was supposed to be the 2nd single from her 2001 album but they switched it to "Rock the Boat" because it was gaining popularity. She incorporated motorbikes in her videos a lot but she was scared of them. She is wearing a white Chanel jumpsuit by Dapper Dan. Queen Latifah's partner, Lesley Lewis, is one of the dancers, Mark Ronson is the DJ, & Quincy Jones' daughter, Rashida, is in the video as well. If you wanna hear Aaliyah belting, check out "The One I gave My Heart To" music video🔥 or songs such as I Care 4 U, Never Givin' Up, Street Thing, Giving Up & Journey to the Past
She does have songs where she belts Aaliyah never wanted to be powerhouse vocalist on every song bc that wasn’t her style . The one I gave my heart (video ) shows that she could indeed belt when she wanted to
Bro, y'all gotta get more legends on the channel frfr. I have a few in mind but for right now, you definitely should give the Queen of Hip Hop & Soul, Mary J. Blige her flowers. So I have some songs/videos you should check out in particular. All That I Can Say, Deep Inside, No More Drama, Enough Cryin, Take Me As I Am, The One, We Got Hood Love, Someone To Love Me, Mr Wrong, Right Now, Whole Damn Year, Come See About Me. All dope frfr..
She was actually terrified of them I believe, motorcycles that is. You can hear her “chest voice” on The One I Gave My Heart To, she sings hers butt off

Toni Braxton Week 1! #5. He Wasn’t Man Enough #4. Breathe Again #3. You’re Makin’ Me High #2. Just Be A Man About It #1. Unbreak My Heart Please do Toni Braxton. She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.
I still love this song and video. She was ahead of her time. Aaliyah was a softer singer for style and comfort, but could belt and showcased it on her songs (The One I Gave My Heart To, Journey to the Past, Giving Up which was her rendition of a Donny Hathaway song, I Care 4 U, and Street Thing). She also appeared on Star Search as a child and sang "My Funny Valentine" and showcased her belting there too.
Can u guys please do my random 2000s week? (They're organized from #5 to #1) ❤❤❤ th-cam.com/play/PLaNhqcL7nVhdahszx2bJSLR98zzqe__KA.html&si=ReUMZHpFMFKJDjeR
2 Fun facts about Aaliyah that piggybacks off your last video about baby making music and rock. She was a big fan of NIN and wanted to work with Trent Reznor. Also, Jonathan Davis was working on a duet with her for the Queen of the Damned OST before she passed.
@2theleft2theleft I think at this point he was either a well known new York hip-hop dj or he was in the studio working on Nikki Costas album for virgin records. He talks about it a little on the Kelis episode of the Fader podcast 😊
Fun facts: Mark Ronson is the DJ in the video because he was dating Rashida Jones, who is also Quincy Jones' daughter. Two of his other daughters are also in the video; Kidada (6:20, wearing the hat sitting in the guy's lap) and Kenya (6:34, the little girl in slowmo). Both Rashida and Kidada were close friends with Aaliyah.
The one I gave my heart to...maybe that white outfit will make sense after watching this video...the tomboy in her just wouldn't let go and I loved that about her,stayed true to who she was....Bless her beautiful soul.

I second this!
all top 5 singles
One of Aaliyah's biggest inspirations was another singer, Sade Adu. One of Aaliyah's comments was that she loved how soft Sade's voice was while still remaining soulful.
Oh wow. I never knew. I used to categorize her as a Janet/Ciara type vocalist but now I see her voice's texture is more soulful.
They also shared a birthday! Pretty poetic.
@@MickeyDs14 I didn't know that! Wow! That's cool! 🔥🔥🔥
Sade, Aaliyah, and FKA Twigs. Beautiful Capricorns ♑️🐐
Her dance moves were so smooth
I get teary-eyed when I see her videos. I'll never forget the shock of her passing. A beautiful talent taken too soon. Thanks for exploring her music.
I used to watch this video all the time when I was a kid and never realized that it was set inside a motorcycle.
Omg I just noticed this.🤯
Right lol
Me too, they made me realize this and im embarrassed.
Aaliyah was actually terrified of motorcycles but she LOVED snakes and dragons.
Aaliyah could definitely belt and had more range than she showcased in most of her songs, she just chose to keep her vocals soft/ relaxed on a lot of her studio tracks. I don’t know if “The One I Gave My Heart To” is gonna be in this Top 5 week, but that song is definitely one of her best vocal moments
They need to do two weeks
When she did Giving Up a Donny Hathaway cover I think was for a movie she was in talks to do with Whitney Houston that just never happened but like a decade later but with Jordan Sparks as lead. ❤
Also her cover song At Your Best has great vocals. She was only 15 when she sang that song
Erika Kane is a great song as well.
Her vocals on Journey To The Past were silky but still had power behind them.
Her sound is so fresh even now!
Back in One Piece with DMX would be an interesting reaction from you two
I agree
Love that song & video. "Don't do me greasy..."
Her 2001 eponymous album is everything. Electro R&B trailblazer.
“ Rock the Boat” & “Are you that Somebody”
It’s Necessary👏🏾💯🔥
I think the brightness of her outfit was to enhance the fact that she had passed prior to the release of this video. Enhancing the heavenly association of our Aaliyah. This video came out after she passed.
Most naturally beautiful woman that ever lived. Legend!

Fun fact.. Kidada Jones, Rashida Jones, and Mark Ronson make cameos in this video!
Such a pure beauty and Singer she's so missed and her music is timeless and never forgotten
She does have songs where she belts Aaliyah never wanted to be powerhouse vocalist on every song bc that wasn’t her style . The one I gave my heart (video ) shows that she could indeed belt when she wanted to

This is my favorite Aaliyah video ❤❤❤

5• No Air
th-cam.com/play/PLqLrfLbM5FsC1chd8wRpeACByl2NFvmHL.html&si=Yxpdo-rehrT2Sbhe
Oh good choices
No air is Jordin Spark’s song (but I love it). Probably Wall To Wall instead if they’re doing his actual songs 🥰
@@ChristinaKaeLove I agree but I just dont see ppl requesting Jordin like that or liking the requests. That song is fire and deserves a reaction.
Toni Braxton Week 1!

Brandy week 2:

Almost doesn’t count
speaking of Brandy u look like her
Im just noticing the motorcycles after all these years!! 😂😂
💭This is my Favorite Aaliyah video! 😎🎥🎵❤👍🏼
I really hope we get "We Need A Resolution" this week!
Aaliyah sanged very softly but she can sing with power if she wanted to. She had control over her voice
I still love this song and video. She was ahead of her time. Aaliyah was a softer singer for style and comfort, but could belt and showcased it on her songs (The One I Gave My Heart To, Journey to the Past, Giving Up which was her rendition of a Donny Hathaway song, I Care 4 U, and Street Thing). She also appeared on Star Search as a child and sang "My Funny Valentine" and showcased her belting there too.
Ooohhh Joe, your reactions are so precious.
He's so pure lol
Joe's so funny he makes me laugh every time.
😂
This should’ve been number oneeeee ❤❤❤
#funfact, thats producer mark ronson as the dj. he and aaliyah were good friends, looooooooooooooved this reaction
We need a resolution next!!!❤️
The lyrics to the song are fire 🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: the DJ who appears between 5:10 and 5:19 is Mark Ronson! He talked about it in an interview.
Do you have the link?
This was always one of my favorites from her. Fun fact: the white DJ dude is super young Mark Ronson
in case you guys didnt know, the guy riding the motorbike was siggy jackson, michael jackson's nephew (jackie jackson's son)
Yes, in the One in a Million video
Siggy is Jackie Jackson's son...
@@Colourbash sorry i did mean jackie, have no idea why i typed jermaine lol. thanks
I RANNNNN to this video when I saw the notification 😂🩷🩷 this is one of my favorite songs by Aaliyah.
Can u guys please do my random 2000s week? (They're organized from #5 to #1)
❤❤❤
th-cam.com/play/PLaNhqcL7nVhdahszx2bJSLR98zzqe__KA.html&si=ReUMZHpFMFKJDjeR
Such a sophisticated video
Angelic is what it is! She sings like the Angel she is 🖤
Yessss!! You guys should react to her songs “What If” and “I Can Be.” They were inspired by Nine Inch Nails and Deftones, respectively.
I can confirm I do dry my under area after a nice shower. 😂
Doesn’t everyone do that? At least I thought they did.
Weirdo
😂
I did it as a kid but not anymore
Mike and Joe gave it the name 'Floss Drying'! It works, though!
AALIYAH used to belt occasionally. Listen to The One I Gave My Heart To. Also, Mark Ronson is the DJ in the back.
She was the personification of cool😢
"WE NEED A RESOLUTION" is an amazing song and video
Back n Fourth is where the magic begins... The song is🔥
Please do "Are you that somebody"!!!!
Yaaas! Also, ROCK THE BOAT is an obvious MUST 😭
YAY! My Queen Aaliyah
Yesss, favorite Aaliyah song!! 9 year old me was definitely in front of the TV doing the choreography from this video lol!
We need Aaliyah week 2!!
Rock the Boat was dabomb as well (the last video Aaliyah shot)!!!!
Fun fact, Aaliyah actually DIDN’T like motorcycles. She was afraid of them however for whatever reason it was embedded into her brand and art. 😊
Please react to Aaliyah “Try Again”
She’s wearing an all white Chanel Jumpsuit
2 Fun facts about Aaliyah that piggybacks off your last video about baby making music and rock. She was a big fan of NIN and wanted to work with Trent Reznor. Also, Jonathan Davis was working on a duet with her for the Queen of the Damned OST before she passed.
MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR YA! THANKS GUYS FOR DOING THIS. AALIYAH IS LEGENDARY.
Lil Kim
Week!
➡ It's cool how you can see her standing in the Headlight... (5:03) / ➡"I think the DJ is the British music producer Mark Ronson?" (5:12)
I believe the white Chanel Jumpsuit is latex. 3:30
She’s was so talented ❤
Fun fact: The dj is Mark Ronson and the lady in the flat cap near the end is Rashida Jones.
I knew she was familiar! I thought it was the radio host/rapper Angie Martinez for a sec but then I knew it wasn't her.
Damn! Mark Ronson has been in the industry for a long time
@2theleft2theleft I think at this point he was either a well known new York hip-hop dj or he was in the studio working on Nikki Costas album for virgin records. He talks about it a little on the Kelis episode of the Fader podcast 😊
She used to do the belt voice as a child in Star Search. The softer voice was more her style.
Loved all your reactions please more Aaliyah the one I give my heart to. Thanks guys
Yo we needed this for the longest time! Iconic!
Fun facts: Mark Ronson is the DJ in the video because he was dating Rashida Jones, who is also Quincy Jones' daughter. Two of his other daughters are also in the video; Kidada (6:20, wearing the hat sitting in the guy's lap) and Kenya (6:34, the little girl in slowmo). Both Rashida and Kidada were close friends with Aaliyah.
The one I gave my heart to...maybe that white outfit will make sense after watching this video...the tomboy in her just wouldn't let go and I loved that about her,stayed true to who she was....Bless her beautiful soul.
