Aaliyah

Well, not that I care all that much about the thousands of people that die everyday - I don\'t know them personally. But to their families their death is a tragedy.

BTW, what is that movie where someone says something in the lines of "kill 1 man and you\'re a murderer, kill 1000 and you\'re a hero"? Perhaps my memory is just flawed.

Damn, that came out of the blue,
too bad, i liked her as an actress.

Not a real big fan but it sucks to see a young women that was on her way and suddenly dies.
R.I.P Aaliyah.
 What a grim day.

I can\'t believe it!!!

I really, really like her music... This makes me pretty sad

That is so sad I was never a big fan of her music but I did like some of her music. I remember her appearances on MTV, MTV Music Awards, MTV New Years Party. She was a very good person and actress. Its sad that bad things happen to good people.

Why can\'t N\'Sync die in a plane crash instead?

Get out of my head will you!!!


That is exactly what I was thinking.  She is a singer/actress.  Wow.  What makes her any more important in life then the plumber down the street who died.  At least he can fix my house.  What\'s she going to do?

Oh wait, I\'m sure she was a great humanitarian like Princess Di.

Don\'t get me wrong, it sucks to die so young, but I think I am over it.  Yep, I\'m over it.  I\'m going to go get me a nutty bar.

Wasn\'t she supposed to be in the new Matrix movie?

But I don\'t really give a flying fudge about this.

Imagine if this happened to the likes of Madonna or Mariah Carey.

You\'re bad... you\'re real bad!

Yes some of you are right about the other people you die in the world everyday, but some are not tragedies many people die of old age too, people who have lived long full lives, IMO that is not a tragedy.  The death of aliyah is a tragedy because she was well know but mostly because it was simply that, a tragedy.  when someone dies young in a freak accident it is know as a tragedy.

Every day you can see reports of ppl who die, just switch on the
tv news bulletin. These days it\'s alot of deaths from conflicts like
Israel and Palestinia, also in Macedonia. Maybe another day an earthquake will cause deaths in some 3rd world country, who knows. These are all cases in which you know ppl died. You can do something with that knowledge. Anything, like praying for their soul, or throw it out of your head like a \'throw away plot from an fps. etc. My point is that these ppl I do not know personally. Maybe I know what they stood and fought for.
In the case of Aaliyah I know she made music, which in turn brought fans happiness. Being a musician, these ppl won\'t hear new music from her and she was known public : so that makes this case imo a celebrity death. I think it is valid to make notice of that, respect that and thus also this thread.
btw. to some of you : what if it was Kojima san or Miyamoto san in that plane ? Would you say \'so what\' ?

It isn\'t in my opinion that she was better than anyone, it was the simple fact when your famous people pay more attenion which includes death. There is no way someone can mourn everyone that dies nor do they have some reason to. They feel, with stars they have a reason to because they have bonded with that star via music or whatever. Now the fans of that person, have nothing to look foward to . No new music. No new movies and so on. Well, that isn\'t exactly true. Elvis had more albums come out after his death.......:rolleyes:

1 death is a tragedy.
a million deaths is a statistic.

Damn you. I was goin\' to say that!

Imagine if this happened to the likes of Madonna or Mariah Carey.

You forgot to add Britney Spears, N\'Sync and others in that...Oh wait..You mean it would be a tragedy? Damn, sorry. I thought you meant it would be a good thing.

damn...i talked so much **** about her because shes starring in the new lestat movie..\'the queen of the damned\' which i think will blow.....but its still pretty messed up to hear tragic news like this.

Wasn\'t Aaliyah in the Matrix2? And if she was, when is the movie coming out. It will be the last time we\'ll get to see her. So sad

GET PISSED AT ME IF YOU WANT TO PEOPLE.

i bet othor people died in that crash too, but you all arent talking about them are you?
