Messages From The Fans!
When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I started crying and telling myself that it couldn't be true that such a talented, beautiful young woman could be dead. I was online and started asking all my friends if they knew, and most did. I found that most were crying along with me. Every time I turn on the TV or radio, I hear about her death and it's been driving me insane. I would do anything to bring her back, but I can't. I hope that there will be something to go to for her fans to pay their last respects. We will always remember her and she will always be in our hearts. We pray for you and we miss you, Aaliyah. Your life had just begun when it was taken away.

I am heartbroken. Aaliyah's music transcended boundaries. I grew to listen to and love her music after hearing what a Nine Inch Nails fan she was. From there I grew to really admire her. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. I will pray for her family, and for all those killed.

I spent half of my life listening to Aaliyah. I know she doesn't know me and I'm not a family member or a close friend, but she has touched my life in a great way. In her I saw everything I wanted to be. She was such a sweet and kind-hearted person who put her fans before anything and always gave thanks to them and God. She's made such a positive impact on my life, and I thank her for that. I'm going to miss her and I send my heart out to her loved ones.

Aaliyah was one of the few artists out there that made music that was alive, music that had a heartbeat. A song of hers that makes me go "Wow!" is "At Your Best (You Are Love)." It's amazing to me how a 15-year-old belted out that song with such a strong voice, in such a lovely way. She sounds like an angel on that track and now she's an angel in heaven.

I want to give out my condolences to her family and the families of all of those who perished in the crash. Let's keep her memory alive through her music. Aaliyah, thanks for leaving us your amazing music and the memory of your beautiful smile that said what a sweet person you were. Rest in peace, Baby Girl.
