alliyah

Hello, my name is Tim. I am doing my hero project on Alliyah Haughton. You probably know her by just Alliyah though. Alliyah is Swahili for "exalted one". I guess I just like her because of her music. She also looked very good, as you can see in the pictures.

Alliyah was like a bull in the music industry. She has made several music videos and songs. Like Age Ain't Nothing But A Number,and many others.She also stared in movies. She was working on a movie called,"Queen Of The Damned",when she was killed. I don't know how the movie turned out ,but it should be pretty good.

Contemporary R&B singer Aaliyah (born Aaliyah Haughton) became an overnight sensation in 1994 with her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, and its two hit singles, "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)." Born in Brooklyn but raised in Detroit, she was influenced by an entertainment background -- her mother was a singer, her uncle an entertainment lawyer once married to Gladys Knight. ... Read MoreContemporary R&B singer Aaliyah (born Aaliyah Haughton) became an overnight sensation in 1994 with her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, and its two hit singles, "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)." Born in Brooklyn but raised in Detroit, she was influenced by an entertainment background -- her mother was a singer, her uncle an entertainment lawyer once married to Gladys Knight. She appeared in concert with Knight at the age of 11, and released her first album just four years later. Paced by the Top Ten hits "Back & Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)" (the latter an Isley Brothers cover), 1994's Age Ain't Nothing But a Number became a multi-platinum smash. She endured controversy near the end of the year, however, when news broke of her marriage at the age of 15 to her producer, R. Kelly. After severing her ties with Kelly, Aaliyah resurfaced in 1996 with her second album, One in a Million. Collaborating with rising production stars Timbaland and Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, Aaliyah pointed the way for the minimalist hip-hop of the late '90s with hits like "One in a Million" and "If Your Girl Only Knew." By the end of the decade, she'd made the move to film, starring in Romeo Must Die with Jet Li and agreeing to appear in the projected pair of sequels to The Matrix. Just one month after her self-titled third album appeared in 2001, though, she died in a private-plane crash while returning from a video shoot in the Bahamas.

On August 25, 2001, tragedy struck when Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas. The R&B world mourned the death of the gifted singer, who was only twenty two years old.Thank You for taking the time to read my project. I hope that you enjoyed it.
