didnt know her before today...

Hmm, I'm sad for those poor eight people, but don't see how she's remarkable over the rest.

. · º o piLaF-kun o º · .

I was a bit upset when I heard the news. I recently went to a club here in Philly where she did a colabo. with The Roots. First and only time I've seen her in person. She was supposed to play the leading female role in the sequel to the Matrix and would have been damn good in it based off the great job she did in "Romeo Must Die." Oh well, I guess I'll get some MP3's in her honor today.

wait a minute... anyone ever notice that the only time that famous people die in airplane crashes is when they're flying in a cessna? I just kinda find that a little weird... thought that they would have learned by now. oh well... sad to hear... but good evidence of why nobody should fly in a cessna jet.

I never liked her music, but I was still a little shocked to hear this


¤chachachararara - freak ´n roll

eight people dead, that`s sad.. but aaliyah = random person #349293 to me... her music was terrible :/

--==[3ch0]==--

i agree with chandra, i dont care for her as an actor...as a singer...or as anything other than a person i guess. But these sorta things do always suck.

Very sad...Comes as a real shock, I mean we all know celebrities aren't immortal beings, but it really hits hard when one passes away - especially at such a young age. Reminds us that they are merely human too I suppose.

Whoa dude... shocking. That's a downer for the rest of the day. Not that I cared (at all) for Aaliyah's music but I think she did a killer job in Romeo Must Die

My condolences to anyone who's deeply crushed. Friends and family of everyone on that plane.

i must say you people are a lot more respectful/polite about it than i've read on other forums. another prove for me DevArt simply rocks.

i'm really sorry to hear Aaliyah has passed away. i don't care for R&B, but her music was the only i could actually appreciate. it's a shame that this beautiful and talented girl passed away at such a young age. she was only 22 years old. rainy days.....

wow, that's too bad. it's funny how life works, her star was begenning to rise. she was becoming a superstar. and then it all ended

will you have my babies?

very sad news. also i think she was suposed to finish a movie. man i wanted to see that movie.
hmmmm. sad news.

She was so sweet in "Romeo must die". It is a pity that she died. R.I.P. Aaliyah

well, i guess life goes on though, i mean, we were put here to live life and die...so it's gotta happen some day, it was just sad to see anyone die, regardless if they were famous, movies rocked, movies sucked, music was cool, music sucked...everyone's a person, and everyone will die...but it's still always sad..

i was watching mtv this morning, not really watching, just having it on in the background, and i heard "died at 22" and i looked over at the screen and ic ould see her picture. Very stunning, very sad to see such a talented person who i think was at the height of her career die like that. It just really sucks that stuff like this has to happen, but it's life none the less

man, this really sucks. she was pretty good at singing too. this sucks

like many others i really did not care for her music at all, but still, i feel for her family, friends etc. i also agree with pixel on this one...DA or ET? i cant tell the difference! well, it might not be that bad, well, not even close...oh shit, i forgot my point again

::no offense shalt go unchastised::

It always hits harder when it's someone you knew, or someone who was idolized by you or someone you may have known because of their achievments...or just someone who was a good person. She was all of these, and it's so sad to hear that someone's life has to come to a tragic end at only age 22. She was a great singer, although I don't like R&B, and thought that her music was over-played, I still thought she had a wonderful voice, and a great acting career lining the yellow brick road in front of her. I hope she's smiling at us from above right now.

|velociraptor|

really sad, i heard it earlier today. i loved her music and her role in RMD. I was looking forward to see here in the matrix 2. So young(she was only a year older than me, damn), and so talented.
Rest in peace Aaliyah.

And that last line goes for the rest of the people who died along with her...it's sad to hear news of this nature

i had no idea i announced it to all my friends we were in shock, mainly because she was so young! >:/

**MUUWWAAHHH*

.b. .0. .b.

Last night there was a storm where I live - one of the worst I've seen. I had a feeling something bad would come out of it - was this it? I did not know her, nor her music, but I realize (not only from this thread) that she had many fans - today will be a sad day. Rest in peace to her and all the others that died, and condolences to their families.

bird2

i never really like her music, or acting, but its always sad to hear of tragic accidents, and to those of you saying "RIP aaliyah" and "Ill pray for HER familY" There were 7 others. 7 other families are now heart broken, and everyone is just concentrating on one do to her popularity. To grieve one person's death adn not the other 7 is wrong imho. my heart goes out to ALL of the familes.

my lamb and martyr...you look so precious -mjk

that's so sad....she had some great music and was great in Romeo Must Die....

Omg.......i can't believe this. It seems so sureal.......like it didn't happen or it couldn't have happened. I'm not a fan, but this really sucks. She was at her prime. She had a hit new album, was working on Queen of the Damned, and was gona be in the Matrix sequels. All that went away in matter of moments. My condolences go out to her and her family. May she rest in peace.

Also my condolences go out to the families of the other people who fell victim in the crash.

I forgot to put that in, and didn't wanna make it seem like i was focusing only on her.

oh man, the girl that was in romeo must die? that really sucks ass, i never liked r&b that much but i thought she was a good actress.

dont pee on the electric fence!

Hard to believe, it's as if these "Britney died in a car acciedent" jokes came true...

man i remember them coming on with a 'breaking mtvnews' thing
they just talked about her for like an entire minute and i was like "gees is she dead or somethign?!" and then right after they said she was dead.
blame me.

really disappointing.. i just saw some interveiw where she mentioned something like "you think you've seen me? just you wait, i'm gonna explode in the next few months"
never got to see that :/

even though her music isn't really my scene at all its still sad to see another person die in a friggin plane crash

i didn't like her music either, but still i grieve for them all. the important part of this news is that people died innocently, and all of her fans will be greatly affected by this. therefor, it is very sad

ooo that´s not right! I loved here... so beautyful and talented... one more to the book of legends.. well not legend but she sure was a great singer and actress!


[Who am I to comment you]
http://hem.fyristorg.com/aerosole

that sucketh...

reads the paper: "singer/actress dead! (oh, and 7 others too)"

no disrespect to her talent, but talent, fame, etc are just that. i don't know what else she did with her life, but the fact that she was more gifted in a given area than 7 others doesn't make her more valuable in my eyes. i am saddened by the loss of all 8 deaths, and moderately disturbed that the majority here offer their condolences to her and her family alone.

Man.... I just watched her Bio on MTV a couple of weeks ago and she seemed to be a very nice and down-to-earth person. I've heard a buzz about her death recently... but never believed it. It still seems unbelievable to me, I have this strong nag at my medulla that she is still alive. That the whole thing is a fake. Maybe its just all too unreal. w0w, this is just immense. It truly yanks at my heart strings to hear about young people dieing. Rest In Peace Aaliyah. Every death, especially that of a young person, just makes life seem so much more cruel.

oy, i seem to agree with everyone
its always sad when someone dies, and not to sound to repative, i didnt care for her work, but again, it always sucks when someone dies, even if you didnt know him or her. oh well, the best theing we can do, is let it be, and send our support to the familys that lost their sons and daughters.

[ http://lookmoreva.myeva.net ]

Very sad news. She was so talented and to have it all end at such a young age is just tragic.

=( =( =(
no words... nothing to comment... sad sad...
but i'm revolted at the same time... everybody is sad when a millionaire 22 old girl, actress and singer, dies... but nobody give A SHIT when they know that thousands of CHILDREN are dying in Africa, South America and Asia whithout having something to eat

THAT'S REALLY SAD

This suck don't it.

slave, unfortunately, the spotlight shines brightly on few people.

focusing soley on a single death in which 8 others were killed is not the way to pay respects. my condolances go out to all of the families.

things should not be that way... but they are...
well... i'm sad... can't imagine what their relatives (of all of the 8 people) are feeling...

[ all realism without imagination is mere reductionism ]
[ s . 2 . r ]

It is said that the plane was heavily overloaded with suitcases and such...
The Pilots complained about this, nontheless the passengers wanted to take off.
I'm not saying that its the passengers fault, but if you overload a plane it doesn't matter if its a small Cessna or a Big Boeing 747.

:: Silverhammer ::

The way I understand it, the pilot said that there was way too much luggage, and the group insisted on having everything on board.

As for the repeated "Aaliyah was nothing special, my condolences to everyone..."

I used to think like that, I used to think that it was the elevation of one persons death over another, somehow giving more worth to a famous person. Then I learned that proximity is relevant in life and death.
We all rejoice when our sister has a baby, but we dont neccesarily rejoice over some lady in afganistan having a child. Same with death, we cry when our parents die, but not neccesarily when Joe Smith from Delaware does.

This doesnt mean that one persons life is any more important than anothers, it just means that in our eyes, someone means something special, and we celebrate or mourn accordingly. We should grieve over the loss of life, but we shouldnt discourage those who mourn more for Aaliyah, because she made a remote, though distinct effect on that persons life.

I read about that when I stopped by MTV.com last night and they didn't seem to care much, those communist pricks. I mean I didn't own any of her albums but she was a good person, I mean it couldn't have been lil kim could it now? It almost seems fake, like it's not real, no one is treating it with respect (except us). Another life cut short, very tradgic and horrible, I hope her family copes well.

i have to say i dont like her music... in fact i hate it :/
but when someone dies it's always sad... especially when 8 die

and i have to agree with several who've mentioned this: how is her life more important just because she's a celebrity?

anyway, very sad news

Hey..they've already filmed the Matrix movies. =p Anyways, noone ever thinks to ask who those other people were that died. They see 'Aaliyah died in plane crash today!' when the real headline was 'Aaliyah and eight others died in a plane crash today'. Lack brained picklesuckers =p

organix: Thank you for listing the other names. Yes, this is sad that 8 people died in an accident. I condolences go to all of their families.

Sucks that anybody had to die, but I didn't really care for the music ("Romeo Must Die" kicked ass though).

I heard about it yesterday from someone else, but I'll respond here too.

Tragedy in the world... it completely breaks my heart to hear of such things. She was soo young and her career was blossoming. I am not a huge fan, nor do I know much about her; however, my heart goes out to her family and those who did have great admiration for her. Death is inevitable, sad, and in times of tragedy an air of unfairness sails on.

Take today and live...

This is the second plane crash that has happened this weekend alone. I had a lear jet crash about a 1/4 mile from my house on Friday morning, further complicating the drive to Cornell on opening day (which is insain normally without plane crashes being directly in your way!).

This is extremely sad news, and the simple amount of feedback in this discussion thread shows the love the community had for this amazingly talented young star of our generation.

I am not going to want to fly anytime soon after this weekend...

- the link for the story on the other plane crash this weekend.. => http://www.theithacajournal.com/news/stories/20010825/topstories/913302.html

may god have mercy on her soul, and also for ours !

true it sucks, but why don't people get sad when ordinary people die?

I think it's sick and disgusting that everyone memorializes dead music/movie stars, but don't really even stop to contemplate the death of an ordinary citizen

so she sang music for a living and was on tv, so what? so she had talents in areas that brought her to public attention

don't get me wrong , anyone dying is a sad thing, I just won't put her on a pedastol

Wow thats bad news man why must shit happen ever when someone good is in a plain and then after takeoff it breaks down man that pulls my feelings down so i go back to the dead and have a look of her so see next time.

My heart goes out to the family, you think of you in heaven, never liked her music, but still it a is human life, my heart goes out to the families of the others who where on the plane.

I was a fan of hers and this is just saddening. Its always sad news whenever anyone dies but ppl tend to feel like they know these ppl personally becuz bits and pieces of their personality are displayed in what they do.

I will and will always be!!!

:: damn she wuz hot.. wut if it is a conspiracy? but i liked her music she sang pretty good.. aaliyah kicked all ass.... EXCLUDING mine... r.i.p I WILL KILL DAT DAMN DRUNK PILOT err y did da plane crash?

ohh my GOD no, I'm completely appauled by this, i didnt hear about it until I saw this post. I loved Aaliyah, i'm feel so horrible.!

Absolutely shocking...my condolences go out to the families of all those who passed away.

Very sorry about what happen. Very sorry about what the famlilies must bear with. My thoughts are with all of them.

- enjoy our quality responsibly -

I first thought this was a joke until now its sad because she had to die young and at the begining of her career.Prayers to the familys of the 8 who died.

Very Very bad news for me.

Never knew that this would happen to her.

Ok I am sick of people bitching about "Why not mourn the death of an orginary person?!". If we mourned every person's death on this planet it would take our whole life to do so, so basically it's impossible. We mourn those who brought us joy, or that we enjoyed while they exsisted. I don't expect the whole world to mourn MY death when I die, just those who knew me. It's called human nature, deal with it.

What her important in life.if she stoped the war..feed hungry peoples..i"ll be sad.

man that just makes me sad a true downer she had excellent singer man im bummed may she rest in peace

Heard the news about 2:30am PST last night. It's always horrible when people die, not just celebrities. Aaliyah was a great artist in her own respects, and she will be missed.

I believe they have finished the first sequel, and were in the middle of shooting the second sequel. The Matrix 2 (Reloaded) was scheduled for release in December of 2002, but got pushed back to May of 2003. The Matrix 3 (Revolutions) which was going to release in the summer of 2003 will be pushed back to an unknown date. You can find more info from commingsoon.net http://www.comingsoon.net/matrix/ .

My thoughts are with the families of Aaliyah and the other 8 people (the pilot was killed as well). Full report: http://www.msnbc.com/news/619571.asp

[hergs]-http://www.hergs.com

"just those who knew me. It's called human nature, deal with it. "

obviously you didn't know her, go ahead and keep idolizing, be just an ordinary person, because you aren't on tv, you aren't on the radio , YOU ARE NOTHING...right?

geez...

YAY!!!!!, oh wait I mean OH NO *sarcasm*. For some reason I find myself not caring at all. Sure I'll prolly get bitched at but hell its just a person, I mean c'mon people die all the flippin time. There is SO much wrong with this that I'm not going to bother gettin into it. Though tis truly pathetic...

|go away!|

yeah, kinda sucks.
but I really dont like how everyone's like "OH THAT FAMOUS PERSON'S DEAD" and don't give a shit about the other seven nonfamous people who lost their lives and THEIR loved ones.

That ticks me off

And my dad's a pilot for American Airlines. Fly American, homies

like most I never really enjoyed her music...but it's a shock to hear this..jeez ...thought I'd share this:
"Take death for example,
a great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extrodinary efforts to delay it and offen consider it's intrusion a tragic event. Yet, we find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives, it gives importance and value to time...time would become meaningless if there we're too much of it..If death we're indefiantly put off the human psyicie would end up, well like a person in a twilight zone episode"
Ray Kurzwell - (sampled from Our Lady Peace's album Spiritual Machines - "R.K. on Death")
so instead look as if the glass is half full...If everyone lived forever our world would become over populated and everyone would be really ugly (being 500 years of course) "Once you realise that death is real and one day you are going to die; that is when you truly will be powerful" - Tyler Durdan "fight club"

Oh well, I feel sorry for her family along with anyone else that was injured.. Though yeah I thought her music was awful so nada loss there.

·´¯`· Jibrille·´¯`·

I actually watched the MTV Diary of her..and the people on board were some of her best friends. This makes it all the more tragic, and yet at the same time, at least she died among friends. My thoughts go out to the families.

It's kinda scary...i'm only 21.

This is terrible news.. My condolences to her family, and all the other passengers. Very sudden...

This news got me really sad. It seemed to hit close to home kuz my friend just saw her at a cd signing about a month ago and we were just talkin bout her a couple days ago. You just take it for granted and think that people will live forever. I just put up an aaliyah poster in her memory.

...damn

Looks like Timbaland needs a new singer!

- razer http://subdamage.infernoware.net

Human compassion and heart-felt sympathy aside, i don't understand the widespread responses to the death of celebrities. These are just people, same as you or i, and have as much right to be revered and grieved for as the guy who bags your groceries at the corner market. This is something that bothers me about modern media culture, and more specifically about youth culture in general, who grow to idolize "characters" and "drama/action sequences" as individuals to emulate in social reality. Yes, it is sad that she died, and the seven others. No, it isn't my business at all to feel a social responsibility to singling out and immortalizing a person whom i've never met. How happy her family must be that so many cared for her and are "with them" in their time of need, but how selfishly inappropriate for us to assume some loss through the death of this person whose life we have never touched ourselves. Sadness is for the family; death is a personal thing and a part of life that should be respected as the domain of those who knew the departed. We don't feel compelled to make announcements of the deaths of our brothers, the deaths of our friends. Why not? Are they not as important? No, not in the least, it just isn't appropriate. Having lost people close to me, i can't help but think of the frustration those families feel, even bordering on outrage, because millions of people feel its their right to grieve their daughter/sister/niece/friend. I'm sure she was a good person, a successful individual, maybe inspiration, but she was just a person, one i've never met and never will know. This comment may be in many ways inapproapriate, but i feel its my responsibility to shine a little light on these things in our media-saturated society that are morally and ethically ambiguous or out of place.

r.i.p aaliyah

Asshole

i've never heard of her..but still it's so sad that she has to leave at a very young age...but what the heck!...somebody has to go first right?!

my deepest condolences to their families.

I've never heard of her.
But I won't pretend to lack compassion for it.

She had friends, so obviously her friends are feeling how I would feel, if someone I cared for died.

Don't let jaded closed eyes pervert.

My condolense goes to the other passangers that were on board. I'll miss Aaliyah. I was a big fan of hers and I'll continue being her greatest fan. She was so talented.

My prayers go out to Aaliyah and the others on the plane.

RIP Aaliyah. I love you.

Why is everyone making such a big deal?
Thousands of people die every day, and she gets recognition because you saw her on your TV. It's disgusting that on the news reports, the other deaths are not even mentioned. We're only worried about things that are shiny and pretty.

Second, this news hardly has anything to do with deviantart. It's a plane crash. Arguments along the lines of 'music is art' are pointless. Devart has no music on it.

Personally i don't care that anyone i don't know dies. I'm sorry for the people that do care, though.

Not trieng to seem like a complete insensitive asshole, but people die everyday... lots and lots of people... the one real tragedy here is that this could delay 'The Matrix 2' AHH!! NOO!!! My condolenses to anyone aboard that flight... They were all just as important as Aaliyah....

xhaos: sing it brother

kcronos: you and matrix 2 get a room

To Protean and you other 'light shedders' - Because you don't understand something does NOT make it disgusting or repulsive.

I recently lost my mum after a long illness. There were people at her funeral who had never met her, but because they had been touched in some way by her, paid their respects - she was an incredible woman who touched many lives. Do these people have no right to grieve because they didn't meet her?

I grieved for Mother Teresa. I grieved for Freddie Mercury. These people shared a little of who they were with me - and the world - and I feel my world is a poorer place for the lack of them in it.

Have the respect to allow people to grieve even if you are too insensitive to understand it.

My sympathies go out to all families who have lost loved ones recently. Dona nobis pacem.

this was a jolt to me when i woke up this morning. sorta still hard to believe that she died so young.

[doobybrain]

I hate that she had to die or for that anyone else who dies tragically. I loved her music and couldn't wait until her new album came out but it was only on an entertainment standpoint. I didn't know her personally, never had dinner with her, never conversed with her, never shook her hand. Yes I feel compassion for the family but was also amazed at how the media said basically Aaliyah died, and oh yeah eight others too.The media puts so much light on stars and wealthy people that they forget that they are human too just like me, I bleed, they bleed. I know of several small children in my own city(Dallas) that were killed by gunfire and they get a 10 word article in the paper and nobody cares the next day. If we could start treating everyone the same and make it a big deal when everyone dies tragically people will appreciate life more not only when a musician or an actor dies. Lets keep everyones family that died on that plan in our prayers. Peace

that means she won't be in the matrix 2 after all. thank god. she would have ruined the movie.

Everything I say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

i wasnt a fan but its a shame it happened to someone so young and talented.

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...she was one of my favorites....such a bright star to lose

blah

damn ..she waz only 22 ..

she was flying in a cessna!?!?! one of those in ft. worth texas had to make a belly landing today after its landing gear didn't fully open up...man...never fly in a small plane...man..so wierd when i heard this...especially since i just saw her mtv diary thing...seemed so nice..really appreciated what she had...damn it

[ trodden ]

I have to be honest, I was never a big fan of her, but I liked her music. It was cool and her death came as a shock to me, and I can't seem to figure out why...Maybe it's because it's a harsh reminder that nobody is invincible...... My heart goes out to her family and friends, having someone ripped out of your life just like that just downright sucks. Rest In Peace, girl!

To the fool who made this god awful comment. One does not have to be tangible in your life for you to feel the sadness the death of anyone would bring. Is God not present in your life although you can't see him. I think you should of thought more of what you wanted to say before you beseiged us with such negative chatter. Let the world mourn however they want.

My heart goes out to Aaliyah's family and to the other families who's souls where lost on that flight. May God have mercy!!!!!!!!!!

Your stupid. Maybe it should have been you.

Damn, that sucks. I was looking forward to hearing more (Romeo Must Die wasn't bad either). One of those things that tells me how screwed up life is. Bleh.

as sad as it is......she WAS flying in a cessna. that's kinda askin for it.
no disrespect intended

It's sad that 8 people died so suddenly, but I wont hold one in any higher place then another.

I can only think they went to a better place.

I agree, she wasn't the only 'worthwhile' :roll: person that died in that crash people.
*tsp*
Pull your skirt down girl, your fetish is showing!

You suck it's not about that, if it had been someone you really liked your tune would be different. Honor her memory as an actress and singer and not minize her in the eyes of us who admired her work. People like you are lonely and post crapy messages like that to get attention.....There You Got It!

Kiss it

I never knew there were so many members on this site...

I never really followed her music, but I heard about this on the news just yesterday and feel very sad to hear this. She died so young which hits me the most about this tradgedy..

Aaliyah rest in peace.
You are now where most of us one day have to go, but we don't know the time,day or hour.
But I'm sure you are very happy where you are now.

i can see how the death of a young r&b singer has something to do with 'where art meets application'.

Death don't have a number. You can die at 2 years old or 55 years old, it doesn't matter that she was 22. I been thinking about this since I heard. When God or whoever you believe in is ready for you, then its your time to go. You can't cheat death, I guess God felt that she and her friends had done their purpose on this Earth, and it was time for them to go. Death is very sad, and hard to understand. To know someone or a love one will never grace this planet or existence again is hard to grasp.

RIP Aaliyah

on a similar note, i hope matrix 2 isnt delayed

It is such a loss to both the music and movie industries. She was slted to appear in one or both of the new Matrix movies. I was stunned mainly by the fact that she was only 22 years old. I hope the record company shows some respect and doesn't release the music video she was working on when the plane went down.

Bye Aaliyah. I'll miss u boo.

As a long-time Aaliyah fan, she will be greatly missed.

Yup, i did a little reading up on Cessna's and your right, the company cant even be reached according to the NY times

That sucks..... she was hot...... *sigh* even tho I would never have the chance to meet her or anything........*sighs again* RIP Aaliyah.

~The More You Disapprove, The More I Like It~

Such a tragedy... she was becoming such a big star too! It sucks... it's sad to see a bright star cut short by an accident. R.I.P Aaliyah

Everything is for A Reason, Everytime has its season, Every man that live Shall someday pass. Some people has special gifts and tallent and bring joy in the hearts of many. I Jabein otter Its realy a lost when they pass so young R.I.P Aaliyah Rasta Love
