thank you, you make a very valid point and i thought the same exact when i saw the performance. also, Aaliyah’s third album was self-titled “Aaliyah” and at the time Britney Spears was looking for a title of her third album which was coming out later that year and she called it “Britney”, i don’t think that was a coincidence seeing that Britney’s album came out after Aaliyah’s. she’s influenced a lot of people. i think that open letter Drake wrote for her was very touching.

When there are discussions about Aaliyah’s influence on other artists, everyone names the most obvious…Ciara, Rihanna, etc? How about giving credit where credit is due? Britney Spears was obviously influenced by Aaliyah. Forget that Spears’ performance style is/was handed down from Aaliyah. She performed with a snake at the VMA’s in 01, about 2 weeks after Aaliyah passed. We all know Aaliyah started the snake motif in the “We Need a Revolution video.” And the guys in Maroon Five were very honest about saying that hearing Aaliyah and Timbaland was what turned them on to R&B and soul music.
