Imagine the amount of disrespect this woman endured throughout this relationship. I’m so thankful Kelly’s getting his. I wonder what she would think of him if she were still alive today.
A part of me loves Aaliyah but realizing how this song came about makes me want to throw up. That poor child was hiding shame,pain and secrets. She died knowing a lot things. Rip sweatheart. It is going to be okay.
Drey Shinigami死神 ? She was 14. She didn’t have the mental maturity to decide whether or not to date a man almost twice her age. Also, according to the women speaking against him, he was very isolating and controlling and she was young and vulnerable
@@promiseblanchard4468 Yep, thats it. Aaliyah's life in that sense was very sad, she dont deserve to die so young, the people arround her was devilish.
Aaliyah was 14 when this was recorded. R Kelly was 27. A grown man wrote this song for a 14 year old girl. How where her parents not disturbed by this?
Age Ain't nothing but number, Going to jail ain't nothing but a thang, Cops have a little something for you its a Cuff and Chain lol!! I use to love the beat but not the message I had this Album Can't believe it's been 20 years. Rip Aaliyah miss you.
This video was made in 1994, Aaliyah was 15. Chances are she was working on this song when she was 14. Side-eye for all the adults who ignored what they saw happening.
RIP to Aaliyah. I was in my 20s when this song was released. I remember saying why on Earth would her parents let her say those words. Age ain't nothing but a number.Throwing down ain't nothing but a thang. They could have told her no,you are not doing that song. Also,all the ladies had a crush on Robert,however I have always had a sinister vibe for him and I did not listen to his music. I just never cared for that dude.
I’m not going anywhere today about Mr.Kelly and his family because he is not a very sick and beyond nasty 🤮 guy,,, but he knew exactly what and how he was doing when he was turning the young girl into a woman but he never 👎 got the attention or the opportunity to talk about his situation to his or her mother and father because of the situation and circumstances and he was so upset 😭,,,scared and angry 😡 and upset 😭 because he was being a victim of his own actions and realizing that his life had consequences and he was still alive and still suffering from all of the trauma and consequences for the loss of his childhood,,,,because he really never 👎 had any connection or control of himself and he had to deal with everything that happened and never cared about his own feelings and actions…..he just needed a friend and never even had any homeboys or family friends,,,like a buddy,,,hhelll,,,, I love this life that I have now because everything will never 👎 change for me and my life but even if it does,,,, I still have and will always have my beautiful 🤩 first COUSIN ARLENABEATIFILULEJONES AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE LOVE AND SHE IS SO GOOD 😊 AND BLESSED 😇 AND SHE IS THE ONLY ANGEL 👼🏾 I WILL ALWAYS SEE…..EVERY BIRTHDAY 🎂
Let’s not do that she was not abused she chose to do what she did there’s a interview of her and r kelly and she was talking with ease it wasn’t one of those hesitated interviews where she was being forced she was straight up talking with ease no problem ain’t look uncomfortable or nothing
@@donaldkelly298 r kelly was the one that wrote it.. what? she WAS being abused regardless of who wrote it because it was an illegal and wrong relationship
23 years later hearing the truth unfold and hearing this song shows how successful Aaliyah could’ve became ,with the little time she was here she was making bangers rest easy baby girl🤍🕊️
@@Cazziey i understand that. what im trying to say is that most 14 year olds look and sound like that nowadays were more mature ik were not an actual grown adult but people need to stop thinking we look like babies because this is what we look like.
Shanee Hayles,BINGO👏👏 Huh,my Parents,especially my mother,she would have slapped the taste out of my mouth. And knocked me right into our 21st Century. My Father & mother,would have harm Predator,for the Lyrics of that song. And for marrying an under age Teenager.
This video's purpose at the time was to trick people into not realizing she was a child. All the adult guys hitting on her, that super large clothing, how mature they made her look. R Kelly knew exactly what he was doing.
Jason Johnson exactly, to me it was moreso trying to trick people into thinking of teenage/adult relationships as normal. It’s common knowledge that some teenagers just naturally act more mature than their peers, but songs like this makes it seem like the more mature teenagers are capable of having healthy relationships with a full grown adults, which of course is a dangerous mindset.
@@musamngadi9138 15 years old don't have the compactity to consent as an adult. At this age you are still finding yourself and your brain is still developing.
Well theres nothing really to “defend” she was a young girl with adults around her who didn’t care about her well being. If anything the adults in that situation are the ones who have to defend themselves. I view her life as more of a big tragedy
This song is so uncomfortable to listen to but her voice here makes me miss her so much. So soft and comforting. I could only imagine what it was like to see her come up on the scene for the first time. With her unique style and innocent yet mature nature. She was still defining herself and had her whole life ahead of her, man. Really sucks that real ones are always the first to go so soon.
Y’all Aaliyah’s Stan’s born after 1999 are annoying AF. No one had an issue with the song until 2019. I use to play this song all of the time and watch the music video and all of the comments were positive. How about Aaliyah Stan’s like you get a life and stop obsessing over someone who passed away before 9/11
I use to listen to this song so differently back then. When I was 15 I interpreted the song as a bold statement of just because I’m young doesn’t mean you can’t take me seriously. I also got that vibe from Aaliyah’s press interviews at the time; Like “just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t sing as well as folks who are older than me. I have a voice, I can sing, and I’d like you to hear it”. Of course now as an adult, listening to the lyrics, and with everything that we’ve learned about the producer, it takes on a very grim and different meaning. BUT no matter what, this era of Aaliyah’s life will always stand for that message to youth that if you put the time and effort in, grown ups can take you seriously. Stay grounded and have purpose in your voice when you want it to be heard.
actually your young interpretation sounds wiser than your adult interpretation but, when you've crossed that landmark you cant really think of anything else to see it as
She was so talented... only 14 years old. Wow. I can't believe how young she was. While I'm grateful for this song, we have to make sure what happened to Aaliyah never happens to any other young woman in the industry ever again.
Her uncle, Barry Hankerson, produced that video. Listen, when it comes to $ NOTHING stops anybody. So the child probably couldn’t grasp how much $ was coming her way, but the grown people including her own family, certainly knew it. So R. Kelly had both of best worlds in his mind . The whole thing is very sad.
Classic song on Aaliyah's debut album. I was 11 years old when this song came out in 1994. Aaliyah voice at 15 years old was incredible. Her style & swag was like no other. I still wish she was still here. RIP Aaliyah 23rd Anniversary of her death today. You will never be forgotten. She is simply one in a million
I Was 4 In 1994 Cuz Aaliyah Is My #1 Fan She Always Beautiful And Funny When I Turn 12 Since August 25th 2001 But She Died On My Birthday 8/25/01 R.I.P.Baby Girl I Always Luv You And You Very Sweet Prison
I was about 13 when this song came out and I thought she was older, at least 18. She became a superstar and I loved her music, especially the timbaland produced tracks and then her life was cut short R.I.P.
WE NOT GONNA SIT AND ACT LIKE AALIYAH DIDN’T SERVE THESE VOCALS, THESE LOOKS, and THAT VIBE! I know there’s mixed feelings but this is a part of her story, and everyone has their own to tell.. she was just never able to tell hers.. period #istandwithaaliyah 🕊
I use to love this song being young & ignorant to know what was really going on but now I can't even listen to it knowing I'm a decent human being & have a conscious knowing now that Aaliyah was a victim to a pedophile whether she was accepting r kellys advances it was wrong as hell. I ♥️ Aaliyah but she has way too many other good songs to be listening to this knowing Rkelly wrote it for her they were dating & basically the song is what Rkelly & her was feeling for one another when they were around each other dating on the low. I can't even listen to it now thinking how he took advantage of her being only 14 & he was 27 smdh 🤦🏻♀️ She shouldn't even be talking about sex at 14. She wouldn't have been even feeling him like that if he would have never pursued her knowing damn well he was too old & could have gotten locked up for it why because it's wrong as hell & that's why it's a law to protect young people from pedophiles like R Kelly. Don't see how her parents were ok with this song coming out. I have a 13 year old & can't imagine her saying shi+ like this
This song is and always will be a vibe but THATS what’s scary … bc it is child grooming!! Weirder even bc he makes HER sound like the aggressor! 😳😩 No computer back then so i was thinking the lyrics were “going DOWN” not “throwing down” and I definitely thought she said “Love thing I have “ not “something I have” … R. Kelly knew what he was doing there! I don’t know if Aaliyah would want young girls hearing this message. Sounds like she went through some unimaginable stuff. 💔💔💔💔💔 …. The swag in this video tho. 👸🏾
I understand that Aaliyah was young and R.Kelly produced this. But I’m not finna let him destroy me from listening to Aaliyah!! All she wanted was to let people enjoy her music and remember her as an successful entertainer and that’s what I’m gonna do!
Nothing unsettling about the fact that a 14 year old is singing this song. There are plenty of songs rooted in fiction. What IS unsettling is the fact that this song is not based on fiction and that there was some "questionable" behavior between a minor and an adult. What's worse is her parents didn't do shit. Guess they had their hands out.
She probably never would have told because Kelly did what he promised which was make her successful, the other girls he lied and had no intention turning them into stars
@@VersatyleTV1 aaliyah was told to say that ..there is a real marriage record on Google R.kelly is disgusting..I'm sure she was young and in love ,he promised her fame,fortune ,he seduced and molested her... what do you think she's going to say or sing about ?
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof Aaliyah was told to say that? Or is that you speculating because you see Robert as guilty based on being inspired by rumors? First off, her own family denied that there were any relationship between her and Kelly and confirmed that they were always around her. Her mother said that Aaliyah was never even on his tour bus. The reason they were friends were because Barry Hankerton introduced them because he wanted Robert to co write and produce for her. The marriage license that you see has been compared to a real marriage license and it is NOT a match. In fact as I said Robert's former mentor has already stated I trial that HE was the one behind the marriage license and Robert and Aaliyah had nothing to do with it. You do know documents like that can be faked right? There were attempts to find the marriage on file and it came up short. Those are all facts.. what you presented to me were how you felt.. what you think you know.. and what you think Aaliyah did. However you will not find any of that online, on record, and it will always be speculation. We can't always do things the hood way and base things off of "he say she say" and speculation. You have to know the facts.
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof that he seduced and molested her? Especially when her family said they were always around. Especially her older brother. What would Aaliyah have to gain from R.Kelly when her career was taking off and she had been dismissing these rumors up until the time of her death. For years... long after she worked with Kelly. The rumor that she was pregnant turned out to be a lie.. where is the child? Where is record of abortion? Where were they born? You believe in theory with no base...except for rumors. Lisa Van Allen, Barry Hankerton, Demetrius (his former mentor) Lisa Van Allen, Andrea Kelly are all disgusting and are liars and extortionist...proven.
Today he was sentenced 30 years. Roughly 2x her age when he illegally married her. You finally got your justice. Rest in love baby girl. We love you & never forgot 💕
But you're still supporting him by streaming and listening to this song 🤔. This is not Aaliyah's lyrics or beat it's all R.Kelly so if your so against him boycott everything about him. If you want to support Aaliyah listen to everything after this album but this song is infectious ain't it smh.
@@bobbishaw4696 bro get over it. hes not getting out of jail until hes dead. he will never be able to use that money, and he doesnt get money from this. rip Aliyah, fuck Kelly.
@@hound5948 when R kelly was famous and living in Chicago he noticed and targeted Aaliyah, she was a good singer and he made her sign a contract promising her she would be a famous singer. he manipulated her. at 12-14 he took her virginity. he mentally and psychically abused her throughout that time span and in interviews they were looked at as a "couple" but he was just grooming her. she died In a plane crash in 2001 and never got to see justice when r Kelly was sent to prison
absolutely agreed. Children are to be reared the right way by adults. Even if a child is "fast", she/he learned that from some where and needs to be corrected. I am also appalled that those who we expect to protect us didn't: her parents and even her mother's brother who introduced her to R. Kelly since he was R. Kelly's manager.
She was the only female that could pull off that Tomboy, Gangsta look. Period. #Iconic #Legend RIP Aaliyah, Rock the heavens beautiful.. ❤ 👼 RIP to Proof as well..
Aaliyah was just probably trained. She says she "wanted to go all the way" , just like R-Kelly's song "Seems like you're ready.. to go all the way" ... then he says "I could've sworn you were ready", that was a wide eye opener.
I embrace Aaliyah's vocals as a poet's lament. Maybe this is the ghost we need to reveal everything we were so we remember, learn, and grow. What a haunting listen to that echoes. There's a beauty here that I cannot deny. If you can, I admire you for never being broken. I was and rebuilt myself despite the horrors of this world. I think we are all more alike than we are unalike. Maybe this is what pulls me into this song. RIP, sweetheart. You are forever missed, Momma.
@@IvyDeShield If I can give you some advice, learn Spanish. Then you will be able to read the poetry of the golden century and Spanish romanticism. Spanish poetry from that period is one of the most beautiful things you can read. Not like the feminist woke crap they make you read in universities in Spain, Canada, Argentina and the United States. Really universally human stuff. The highest that the human spirit can reach in its search for beauty. Don't forget the portuguese medieval and baroque. As a curious fact, look for the writers of the German black romanticism of the interwar period and Clark Ashton Smith, the Keats of the Pacific.
I can only speak for myself. This song came out in 94, well the album did, and I was born late in 82, so I was 11/12 when it hit. I grew up in a traditional Christian fam, parents from the Caribbean so you know they werent here for this music, but my older sis and I snuck it in the house.I wasn't paying attention to these bloody lyrics!!! Fully ignored the marriage. I maybe didn't even fully understand what was happening. My generation was the last with a sense of innocence. Now at 36, looking back, knowing motives and secrets regarding R Kelly, my heart breaks for Aaliyah, RIP Babygirl.
Yup..Remember this was very common in the 90's girls barely hitting puberty and men a lot older already coming at them and some females did gave in to relationships with men in their 20's or older.Also,there wasn't internet yet.So i don't know where people would meet or set-up marriages/relationships..But i did came across hearing this stuff as a teenager back then.I guess it was until the mid or late 2000's that the show:"how to catch a predator or dateline" exposed everything was has been going on for years..
This song came out when I was a Teen...I DIDN'T KNOW THAT R. KELLY PUT A GUN TO HER HEAD AND HER FAMILY AGREED FOR HER TO DATE N MARRY HIM. MONEY IS THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL...
why tv. i agree @ the very last part of ur comment. still miss her, i do. few others, too many. RIP baby girl, my generation, we both born same decade, so a decade apart, or so. she is still missed by alot. Queen of r&b, im thinkin she "would have been, maybe." but, did still make great music. adios. and MUSIC RB GRUNGE you're right, with what ur saying on queen naming those 2 artist. icam.
I am 45 year old white guy who loved rnb and hip hop starting in late 80s. I was around 16 when this and Back and Forth came out-summer of 94. Shit was fire. My life was girls, parties and sports back then so hearing she was around the same age as me but also possibly dating Rkelly just really didn’t hit hard. Years later, thinking about how the powers that be had her sing this, even though it’s an absolute classic, hurts especially as a father of a mixed daughter. Aaliyah was one of most gifted and beautiful people to walk this earth and going through what she did at this age when this song was made is sad. Thank for your contribution to this world baby girl RIP
It hurts especially because you have a mixed daughter? Not understanding this. Even if your child wasn't half African American you should have empathy for Aaliyah being a victim of pedophilia.
having a mixed daughter should not influence your view of this. I'm a black woman who hates what happened to brook shields. We should want children to be protected regardless of if we have mixed kids or regardless of our race.
*R. Kelly wrote and produced this, named her album “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number”, and was on the album cover with her.... NOBODY IN THE 90S THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM????? 🤨*

They say respect the parents, but some things should not be respected. Aaliyah’s parents failed her. The least we can do is acknowledge it since no one spoke up for the innocent child
Nah brah! They didnt fail her no one twisted this young ladys arm,nor ignored her as a woman! When do you become responsible for your own sins? She was intelligent enough to say no to Mr.Kelly!She also had a DADDY that was cool with it dont forget that! So.... again lets enjoy the music and stay out of peoples lives!!!
Starr Company you want to take up for R. Kelly, like the other pedos do. Google Stockholm syndrome. It is loud and clear that these women have that. The same goes on with the men in prison that get raped and turned out. You clowns say enjoy the music and stay out of people’s lives are the reason why bs like this happens. Too many innocent kids have been taken advantage of because of silence and minding your own business. How about u grow some nuts and investigate weird/strange things that occur around you. The bxtch route is full.
@SARA White people be always letting their kids run over them .Black people knows how to discipline their child so they stay in order honor your mother and father
instead of talkin bout how beautiful the song is ITSELF, this world wants to talk about bullshit, smh, stfu and just appreciate her angelic voice, things right now are already destroyed beyond recognition in this evil world, just listen to her sing and let it GO... 🙄🙄🙄
David Faletau it’s creepy because of the backstory. R Kelly’s making her sing some grown ass twisted song when she’s only 15. And now we know they had a relationship so it’s even more fucked up to think about.

This video was made in 1994, Aaliyah was 15. Chances are she was working on this song when she was 14.
Side-eye for all the adults who ignored what they saw happening.
And r kelly write this for her when she was just 12 ahahahah omg
RIP to Aaliyah. I was in my 20s when this song was released. I remember saying why on Earth would her parents let her say those words. Age ain't nothing but a number.Throwing down ain't nothing but a thang. They could have told her no,you are not doing that song. Also,all the ladies had a crush on Robert,however I have always had a sinister vibe for him and I did not listen to his music. I just never cared for that dude.
We let Tyga and Kylie Jenner pass with no qualms...
It's all good I wrote songs like this when I was 12 as well....lol

Her voice was so mature tho she sounds so grown it’s scary

I know she was only 14

At 14 , 15 I was so corny😩 her parents definitely failed her ain’t no way I could of been talking like this
They failed her by letting her become a multi-platinum selling artist? Okay...
@@LordRoyalTee they failed her by letting their child get intertwined with a g.a.m.!

It was different back then.age really didn't mean shit..😞
Shanee Hayles,BINGO👏👏 Huh,my Parents,especially my mother,she would have slapped the taste out of my mouth. And knocked me right into our 21st Century. My Father & mother,would have harm Predator,for the Lyrics of that song. And for marrying an under age Teenager.
This video's purpose at the time was to trick people into not realizing she was a child. All the adult guys hitting on her, that super large clothing, how mature they made her look.
R Kelly knew exactly what he was doing.
So sick 😭
Yea.....
That’s all teenage girls were dressing though.. and everyone knew she was 15
Jason Johnson exactly, to me it was moreso trying to trick people into thinking of teenage/adult relationships as normal. It’s common knowledge that some teenagers just naturally act more mature than their peers, but songs like this makes it seem like the more mature teenagers are capable of having healthy relationships with a full grown adults, which of course is a dangerous mindset.
RaiseAlucard I just realized that... that’s repulsive
People should let Aaliyah Rest In Peace. She isn’t here to defend herself. Her story isn’t new. All can be said now is she left his ass alone.
Trelley Trelle exactly 💯 liyah was the only smart one to leave his ass
we're not attacking her. we're standing up for the child abuse she endured
Zap what if it was really true love... She ain't here to defend herself so🤷
@@musamngadi9138 15 years old don't have the compactity to consent as an adult. At this age you are still finding yourself and your brain is still developing.
Well theres nothing really to “defend” she was a young girl with adults around her who didn’t care about her well being. If anything the adults in that situation are the ones who have to defend themselves. I view her life as more of a big tragedy
This is a little unsettling now that I know she was 14 singing this song talking bout “dont be afraid we gonna go all the way” huhhhh 😕

This song is so uncomfortable to listen to but her voice here makes me miss her so much. So soft and comforting. I could only imagine what it was like to see her come up on the scene for the first time. With her unique style and innocent yet mature nature. She was still defining herself and had her whole life ahead of her, man. Really sucks that real ones are always the first to go so soon.
Stop being stupid not all old men are useless
Y’all Aaliyah’s Stan’s born after 1999 are annoying AF. No one had an issue with the song until 2019. I use to play this song all of the time and watch the music video and all of the comments were positive.

This song is like a dream, but the lyrics are dubious
I use to listen to this song so differently back then. When I was 15 I interpreted the song as a bold statement of just because I’m young doesn’t mean you can’t take me seriously. I also got that vibe from Aaliyah’s press interviews at the time; Like “just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t sing as well as folks who are older than me. I have a voice, I can sing, and I’d like you to hear it”.
Of course now as an adult, listening to the lyrics, and with everything that we’ve learned about the producer, it takes on a very grim and different meaning. BUT no matter what, this era of Aaliyah’s life will always stand for that message to youth that if you put the time and effort in, grown ups can take you seriously. Stay grounded and have purpose in your voice when you want it to be heard.
actually your young interpretation sounds wiser than your adult interpretation but, when you've crossed that landmark you cant really think of anything else to see it as
Powerful comment award
She was so talented... only 14 years old. Wow. I can't believe how young she was. While I'm grateful for this song, we have to make sure what happened to Aaliyah never happens to any other young woman in the industry ever again.
Still happening dude
Not young women, young girls.
@@riddlesangerissues3127 absolutely
Agreed
We who?
You guys realize she says my age so distinctively. He wrote this for her to sing to him. Crazy.
Creepy
Her uncle, Barry Hankerson, produced that video. Listen, when it comes to $ NOTHING stops anybody. So the child probably couldn’t grasp how much $ was coming her way, but the grown people including her own family, certainly knew it. So R. Kelly had both of best worlds in his mind . The whole thing is very sad.
Aaliyah and r kelly are both capricorns and both of them needed help
ew...sigh
Classic song on Aaliyah's debut album. I was 11 years old when this song came out in 1994. Aaliyah voice at 15 years old was incredible. Her style & swag was like no other. I still wish she was still here. RIP Aaliyah

Facts
I don't think she would have been 40
lyric videos for days she most definitely would be 40 Aaliyah was born January 16 1979 therefore in 2019 she would be 40
When I was a young girl, I never knew she was a teenager. I thought she was a ‘grown up’ she was older than me but I didn’t know she was only a TEEN.
FACTS....I thought the same thing
I Was 4 In 1994 Cuz Aaliyah Is My #1 Fan She Always Beautiful And Funny When I Turn 12 Since August 25th 2001 But She Died On My Birthday 8/25/01 R.I.P.Baby Girl I Always Luv You And You Very Sweet Prison
I was about 13 when this song came out and I thought she was older, at least 18. She became a superstar and I loved her music, especially the timbaland produced tracks and then her life was cut short R.I.P.
Same. She carried herself and behaved much older. I remember being shocked finding out she was only 17 in the If Your Girl Only Knew Video.
I grew up singing these songs never knowing or thinking twice this girl was 14 I need answers from her parents
She would be RnB Queen but she was killed
She is/was in class of her own. Voice of a songbird. You are beyond missed
I miss her so much if she was still here Aaliyah would be on top with Beyonce
darealcousins who's slow down, we wouldn't know
azarelsvault Please take that back. She might not had many hits but her voice could hold a born child.
I have to agree. I’m sure you know people say a similar thing with 2pac and Biggie. They all were extremely good in their genre back in the day.
More like she was IN class 🤣🤣🤣
WE NOT GONNA SIT AND ACT LIKE AALIYAH DIDN’T SERVE THESE VOCALS, THESE LOOKS, and THAT VIBE! I know there’s mixed feelings but this is a part of her story, and everyone has their own to tell.. she was just never able to tell hers.. period #istandwithaaliyah 🕊
Right !!!!!!
I use to love this song being young & ignorant to know what was really going on but now I can't even listen to it knowing I'm a decent human being & have a conscious knowing now that Aaliyah was a victim to a pedophile whether she was accepting r kellys advances it was wrong as hell. I ♥️ Aaliyah but she has way too many other good songs to be listening to this knowing Rkelly wrote it for her they were dating & basically the song is what Rkelly & her was feeling for one another when they were around each other dating on the low. I can't even listen to it now thinking how he took advantage of her being only 14 & he was 27 smdh 🤦🏻♀️ She shouldn't even be talking about sex at 14. She wouldn't have been even feeling him like that if he would have never pursued her knowing damn well he was too old & could have gotten locked up for it why because it's wrong as hell & that's why it's a law to protect young people from pedophiles like R Kelly. Don't see how her parents were ok with this song coming out. I have a 13 year old & can't imagine her saying shi+ like this
This song is and always will be a vibe but THATS what’s scary … bc it is child grooming!! Weirder even bc he makes HER sound like the aggressor! 😳😩
No computer back then so i was thinking the lyrics were “going DOWN” not “throwing down” and I definitely thought she said “Love thing I have “ not “something I have” … R. Kelly knew what he was doing there!
I don’t know if Aaliyah would want young girls hearing this message. Sounds like she went through some unimaginable stuff. 💔💔💔💔💔
…. The swag in this video tho. 👸🏾
So sad man i mourned her death hard.
you worded that perfectly! 💗 #istandwithaaliyah
I understand that Aaliyah was young and R.Kelly produced this. But I’m not finna let him destroy me from listening to Aaliyah!! All she wanted was to let people enjoy her music and remember her as an successful entertainer and that’s what I’m gonna do!
My THOUGHTS exactly

Her voice is amazing but it's a little unsettling that a 14 year old is singing these lyrics...
Nothing unsettling about the fact that a 14 year old is singing this song. There are plenty of songs rooted in fiction. What IS unsettling is the fact that this song is not based on fiction and that there was some "questionable" behavior between a minor and an adult. What's worse is her parents didn't do shit. Guess they had their hands out.
Actually she was 12
Kallie Green actually she was 15 look it up. It’s still gross tho

@@VersatyleTV1 aaliyah was told to say that ..there is a real marriage record on Google R.kelly is disgusting..I'm sure she was young and in love ,he promised her fame,fortune ,he seduced and molested her... what do you think she's going to say or sing about ?
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof Aaliyah was told to say that? Or is that you speculating because you see Robert as guilty based on being inspired by rumors? First off, her own family denied that there were any relationship between her and Kelly and confirmed that they were always around her. Her mother said that Aaliyah was never even on his tour bus. The reason they were friends were because Barry Hankerton introduced them because he wanted Robert to co write and produce for her. The marriage license that you see has been compared to a real marriage license and it is NOT a match. In fact as I said Robert's former mentor has already stated I trial that HE was the one behind the marriage license and Robert and Aaliyah had nothing to do with it. You do know documents like that can be faked right? There were attempts to find the marriage on file and it came up short. Those are all facts.. what you presented to me were how you felt.. what you think you know.. and what you think Aaliyah did. However you will not find any of that online, on record, and it will always be speculation. We can't always do things the hood way and base things off of "he say she say" and speculation. You have to know the facts.
@@hopehouston5732 Where is your proof that he seduced and molested her? Especially when her family said they were always around. Especially her older brother. What would Aaliyah have to gain from R.Kelly when her career was taking off and she had been dismissing these rumors up until the time of her death. For years... long after she worked with Kelly. The rumor that she was pregnant turned out to be a lie.. where is the child? Where is record of abortion? Where were they born? You believe in theory with no base...except for rumors. Lisa Van Allen, Barry Hankerton, Demetrius (his former mentor) Lisa Van Allen, Andrea Kelly are all disgusting and are liars and extortionist...proven.
Her energy is so magnetic, magical, unique.... SHE'S the queen of R&B forever ❤

absolutely agreed. Children are to be reared the right way by adults. Even if a child is "fast", she/he learned that from some where and needs to be corrected. I am also appalled that those who we expect to protect us didn't: her parents and even her mother's brother who introduced her to R. Kelly since he was R. Kelly's manager.
Very True.
She was the only female that could pull off that Tomboy, Gangsta look. Period. #Iconic #Legend RIP Aaliyah, Rock the heavens beautiful.. ❤ 👼
RIP to Proof as well..
TLC could too
I agree, but Aaliyah was known for it a little more.
I gotta disagree, TLC came out first, and I think Da Brat was known more for it than anyone.
I conquer, TLC came 1st for the 90s.
Left eye started it after MC LYTE, so chill...
RKelly was talkin to her; he wrote this. He is literally expressing himself and feelings for her in this song. Man he was fiendish....
No she was actually talking to him! Let’s keep it real and stick to how it was.. she wanted that man and WE ALL KNEW IT THEN!
Cerone Brice It doesn’t matter that she “wanted” him. She was a teenager and R Kelly was a grown man
Cerone Brice Her parents sold her to him so no
Aaliyah was just probably trained. She says she "wanted to go all the way" , just like R-Kelly's song "Seems like you're ready.. to go all the way" ... then he says "I could've sworn you were ready", that was a wide eye opener.
The likes are 666
I embrace Aaliyah's vocals as a poet's lament. Maybe this is the ghost we need to reveal everything we were so we remember, learn, and grow. What a haunting listen to that echoes. There's a beauty here that I cannot deny. If you can, I admire you for never being broken. I was and rebuilt myself despite the horrors of this world. I think we are all more alike than we are unalike. Maybe this is what pulls me into this song. RIP, sweetheart. You are forever missed, Momma.

@@IvyDeShield If I can give you some advice, learn Spanish. Then you will be able to read the poetry of the golden century and Spanish romanticism.

Really universally human stuff. The highest that the human spirit can reach in its search for beauty.
Don't forget the portuguese medieval and baroque.
As a curious fact, look for the writers of the German black romanticism of the interwar period and Clark Ashton Smith, the Keats of the Pacific.

I can only speak for myself. This song came out in 94, well the album did, and I was born late in 82, so I was 11/12 when it hit. I grew up in a traditional Christian fam, parents from the Caribbean so you know they werent here for this music, but my older sis and I snuck it in the house.I wasn't paying attention to these bloody lyrics!!! Fully ignored the marriage. I maybe didn't even fully understand what was happening. My generation was the last with a sense of innocence. Now at 36, looking back, knowing motives and secrets regarding R Kelly, my heart breaks for Aaliyah, RIP Babygirl.
WaistingDownTime I WAS 17😚SMH......🤔
I wasn't even alive yet 🤔😂 but I still like this song and R Kelly
Same boat. Grew up in Jamaica. Born in '81.
Yup..Remember this was very common in the 90's girls barely hitting puberty and men a lot older already coming at them and some females did gave in to relationships with men in their 20's or older.Also,there wasn't internet yet.So i don't know where people would meet or set-up marriages/relationships..But i did came across hearing this stuff as a teenager back then.I guess it was until the mid or late 2000's that the show:"how to catch a predator or dateline" exposed everything was has been going on for years..
This song came out when I was a Teen...I DIDN'T KNOW THAT R. KELLY PUT A GUN TO HER HEAD AND HER FAMILY AGREED FOR HER TO DATE N MARRY HIM. MONEY IS THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL...

I am 45 year old white guy who loved rnb and hip hop starting in late 80s. I was around 16 when this and Back and Forth came out-summer of 94. Shit was fire. My life was girls, parties and sports back then so hearing she was around the same age as me but also possibly dating Rkelly just really didn’t hit hard. Years later, thinking about how the powers that be had her sing this, even though it’s an absolute classic, hurts especially as a father of a mixed daughter. Aaliyah was one of most gifted and beautiful people to walk this earth and going through what she did at this age when this song was made is sad. Thank for your contribution to this world baby girl RIP

It hurts especially because you have a mixed daughter? Not understanding this. Even if your child wasn't half African American you should have empathy for Aaliyah being a victim of pedophilia.
having a mixed daughter should not influence your view of this. I'm a black woman who hates what happened to brook shields. We should want children to be protected regardless of if we have mixed kids or regardless of our race.

You wouldn't have either.....

LMAO
@Chubless The Bear
Yeah, now people are just too serious and get offended about everything and anything...
It's been happening so often in hollywood everyone just dismisses it 😔
She is so amazing, she didn't deserve this, fly high angel🎀
Rest in peace queen , you will forever be remembered 😇💗💘
Aaliyah was truly one in a million 🖤.....RIP to her and Proof
Who is proof?
@@valstewartz a rapper thst died
@@valstewartz Not only a rapper that died but Eminem’s childhood friend and the actual leader of the rap group D12
@@valstewartz Proof was in the video. The guy with the dreads. He's a rapper from Detroit and he worked with Eminem and D12 a rap group. He also rocked with J dilla in the early 90s too. He died in 06.
I used to love this song when it was out. After watching 'Surviving R. Kelly', I'll never be able to listen to it the same way again.
ShellsterNYC same
same here
😥 don't let this a-hole destroy her whole legacy
I know it's completely ruined this whole album and sadly it's the only one available on Spotify... It isn't even her best work smh
Same 😕
Imagina teres 14 anos e estares a cantar essa música para um adulto de quase 30 anos! Tenho vontade de vomitar até.
Oqué ele fazia com ela!? Meu Deus, mundo muito cruel.
They say respect the parents, but some things should not be respected. Aaliyah’s parents failed her. The least we can do is acknowledge it since no one spoke up for the innocent child
Nah brah! They didnt fail her no one twisted this young ladys arm,nor ignored her as a woman!
When do you become responsible for your own sins? She was intelligent enough to say no to Mr.Kelly!She also had a DADDY that was cool with it dont forget that! So.... again lets enjoy the music and stay out of peoples lives!!!
Starr Company you want to take up for R. Kelly, like the other pedos do. Google Stockholm syndrome. It is loud and clear that these women have that. The same goes on with the men in prison that get raped and turned out. You clowns say enjoy the music and stay out of people’s lives are the reason why bs like this happens. Too many innocent kids have been taken advantage of because of silence and minding your own business. How about u grow some nuts and investigate weird/strange things that occur around you. The bxtch route is full.
SARA ah yes, another White Supremacist
@SARA White people be always letting their kids run over them .Black people knows how to discipline their child so they stay in order honor your mother and father
This song is arguably one of Aaliyah's masterpieces in regards to her legacy.
One of my favorites...
@@deonnadyson This track gives out a genuine vibe.
Iconic song
Written by a pedophile.
R Kelly wrote it
Rest In Peace Baby Girl❤️🙏🏾
Just realized this song bites hard off of "What you won't do for Love "
@@kdlane4046 Go west
Rest In Peace ❤️🙏
She not dead. Just playing another role in hollywood. Don't cry to many plastic tears....
@@realone3602 stfu let her rip
instead of talkin bout how beautiful the song is ITSELF, this world wants to talk about bullshit, smh, stfu and just appreciate her angelic voice, things right now are already destroyed beyond recognition in this evil world, just listen to her sing and let it GO... 🙄🙄🙄
Well said!
Her voice was so calming yees. Rest east Aaliyah best of 90’s 😔💕
Creepy but still fire.
greg rose true
How tf is it creepy?
David Faletau it’s creepy because of the backstory. R Kelly’s making her sing some grown ass twisted song when she’s only 15. And now we know they had a relationship so it’s even more fucked up to think about.
@@Sabdarling it aint creepy.....its just messed up what r kelly did ight
A teenager singing age ain't nothing but a number is creepy. Where were her parents?
Despite how creepy the lyrics are, her vocals are so mesmerizing and I absolutely love the opening of the song
Don't forget the soul/R&B
calling anything creepy with that handle and profile pic is rather ironic
