Rating: Summary: Always missed. Review: Aaliyah was a true inspiration in life and still remains to be in the after-life. This book told Aaliyah's story and the pictures were also a nice addition. The only thing that faltered in this book were the small spelling errors on the picture pages. Other than that, this book should be in all Aaliyah fan collections.
Rating: Summary: Good book, great pictures Review: Aaliyah will never die! After reading this book, I am very convinced of that. The book has a lot of never-before-seen pictures of Aaliyah looking so lively,pictures with Missy, Damon, Stacey Dash and a lot of other people. The story is so heartwarming I was in tears reading it, yes, it's been almost a year and I still miss Aaliyah Dana Houghton. She will be with us forever, just like Lisa Lopes, Tupac and Biggie. Some people have that effect on us and Aaliyah does more than anyone I can think of.
Rating: Summary: I miss her... Review: Coming from a person who never saw AAliyah, never been to her concerts, and never spoke with the woman.... she seems to have still made me one of her numero uno fans! I admire this woman; her beauty, intellect and just every possible thing about her. I was very heartbroken when I heard what happend to her. Everyone knows that I was a diehard fan. Nevertheless, God needs his angels to come home early sometimes and it is not up to us to actually say when that is. I read this book once (my close friend is also an AAliyah fan) and it really touched me. I felt as if I knew her just a little bit more than what I learn from the media. Sometimes people never realize that stars are "people" too and they act goofy and want to have fun. My advice is to read the book-not TOO informative but still worth reading.
Rating: Summary: Review for the Kelly Kenyatta/ Aaliyah Biography Review: First of all, I did'nt buy this book--I checked it out of the library. I have to honestly say that I was very disappointed with it. The Author said in her introduction that she had planned to do this book with Aaliyah herself shortly before she died. It's a shame that she did'nt get that chance. The book that the author ended up with after the entertainer's passing was very fairytale-like, almost childish, and very unrealistic. It was almost as bad as reading a modern day version of Cinderella--minus the happy ending. It might as well been written by any one of Aaliyah's fans. The author doesn't even really go into detail about the day of the the plane crash or the investigation. It doesn't even bother to talk about the "Wrongful Death Suit" that Aaliyah's parents filed against her second record label, Virgin, and the (now out of business) airline company that was involved in the crash, Blackhawk. The highlight of this book is the very candid black-and-white photos that the author provides of Aaliyah with her family, friends, and other industry notables. The author also provides nice quotes made by other enterainers about Aaliyah in the last chapter called "Remembering Aaliyah" as well as a short "flimograpy" of her flims and her "discography" of her music. I know that this author wanted to pay tribute to the late entertainer in a loving way, but just because a person is deceased (famous or unknown) , does not mean that we have to put them on a pedestal and pretend that thay were perfect while they were alive--No one is! If you want a more accurate story on Aaliyah's life watch the documentaries: "E! true hollywood story:Aaliyah" or "VH-1's behind the music:Aaliyah" . Bottom line: Check this book out of your local library , but don't buy it!

Rating: Summary: Aaliyah...As an inspiration...! Review: I love everything about Aaliyah, cause she was trully an entreteiner, a sweet little girl that will always be in our hearts..! She was not only beautiful, but a great person with a lot of dreams, some of them came true, but not all... Iam sure that she is watching us right now, and that she would love to see us smile whenever we think about her... i loved this book, its treasure for me that i will always carry and another way to know that iam alive, and to fight for my dreams because we never know when is our time to go..!
Rating: Summary: Great comments and Photos Review: It took a while for the book to come because I order it but I can say it was worth the wait. The research on Aaliyah in this book is very good. I learned somethings I never knew about Aaliyah in this book. They mentioned things about Missy Elliot and Timbaland and the earlier days with R Kelly. It was cool to read how much power was wrapped up in that one little lady. I had to get this book. The book just ended too quick. Aaliyah, your example will be missed. We love you babygirl.
Rating: Summary: Truly More Than A Woman Review: This book is awesome and it made me learn a lot of things about Aaliyah. It is so sad that she is no longer wit us I miss her so much and one day i know we would meet again. R.I.P. Baby Girl!!!
