140. Aaliyah Part 1

And here it is... my new series is on the gone too soon princess of r&b, Aaliyah! In Part 1, we discuss first and foremost why Aaliyah was so special and is so important to pop culture. Then, I get into her journey from losing Star Search to becoming idolized by girls all around the world which sadly includes a horrifying marriage to the repulsive R.Kelly. All of this while she is still in high school and promoting her first album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. How did she survive this on her insane promotion and touring schedule on top of maintaining a 3.9 average? I'm simply in awe so join me as we dive into the remarkable life of Aaliyah.
