Welcome: What up if you are not a member you must join now, this group is full of Aaliyah photos! The fact that all these great Aaliyah sites are getting closed down, i figured i should try to get as many photos as possible into my group to keep Aaliyah's memory alive! Aaliyah moved to Detroit from Brooklyn at the age of 5, she first realized she could sing at the age of 6. Auditioned for the school play of ANNIE at age 9 then auditioned for TV show Family Matters At the Age of 11, she also appeared on the nationally syndicated show Star Search At age 11. Performed in Las Vegas for 5 nights with Gladys Knight. Aaliyah Graduated from the Detroit High School of the Performing Arts with a 4.0 GPA Auditioned for the Elton John broadway show AIDA At age 21. On the big screen she has appeared in Joel Silver's feature film Romeo Must Die and will portray Queen Akasha in the upcoming "The Queen of the Damned". On January 16, 1979 a queen was born. Aaliyah lived a full life in just 22 years. She's accomplished most of her goals which inspired a young generation, like myself, to work hard for what you want and to never to compromise yourself while doing so. She had a style all her own and was known for her savy street-but-sweet self. Her image told young females that you didn't have to sell yourself low to be seen or heard, and that your talent should do the talking. She held herself high but without arrogance and being conceited which is another reason why millions loved who she was. No matter how big she got, she always thanked the Lord and her fans.
