Top 9 Aaliyah Dance Videos

It has been nine years since Aaliyah passed. im realizing now, more than ever, how fast time really does fly. I was just a thirteen year old kid about to enter my freshman year of high school when i found out her plane had crashed in the bahamas. actually, i was finishing up the last few pages of sister souljah's book, The coldest winter ever.

I was a huge fan of hers. not because of all of the obvious things like her beauty, voice, talent, style, and mystery. but because she had a duality to her. There was so much mystery surrounding her, yet she was so human and tangible. and while everyone is taqking time to mourn and reflect, i want to do something a bit different.

Aaliyah was one of the best dancers in my time. she was entirely too smooth doingthose dance sequences. thats what added to her sex appeal. whereas, janet jackson looked well rehearsed and expensive, aaliyah made Fatima Robinson's choreography look effortless. so i present the nine best Aaliyah dance videos.

9. If your Girl Only Knew-
This lands on the countdown because of the tiny dance routine. A few shoulder shrugs and knee lifts and so much swagger. Aaliyah melted into her leather biker outfit with ease. The big dark shades added to the mystique of the video. Looking like that, what man wouldn't want to see if the grass was greener. No disrespect, ladies.



8.Hot Like Fire-
The only thing better than a beautiful woman driving a beautiful car is a beautiful woman dancing suggestively. In this case, "Hot Like Fire" features both. The R&B songbird is seen driving a fire red Lambo. The pelvic thrust ladden dance sequence cements the notion Aaliyah is hotter than a summer day in California.



7.We Need A Resolution-
In this futuristic, post-apocalyptic clip, we find Babygirl writhing with snakes and looking all around sexy. She was ultra feminine in the video. but when it came time to bust a move, she was hit hard and maybe even a bit harder than the boys. And that's enough for me.



6. 4 Page Letter-
Mimicking Timbaland's stuttering drum pattern, Aaliyah dances to save the man she loves, who happens to be locked away. Once he is freed, the dancing is celebratory, slinky, and passionate. and who can resist a little passion in their dancing?



5.One In A Million-
This video is mostly beauty shots of the singer. The choreography features her and a partner acting out the song's theme of one's love being rare. the best part is when she is hugging the guy from behind and staring into the camera. That always had me feeling like she was asking me if I wished that was me and I most certainly did.



4.More Than A Woman-
Aaliyah always did things that got her noticed. The male populaion definitely took notice when we saw her riding a motorcycle. The concept of the flick was a party going on inside of the bike, which alluded to other things. If you don't know what I'm talking about, listen to the lyrics. The dancing was slick and still cutting edge. The only downside, it was released after our angel had fallen.



3.Rock The Boat-
Sandy beaches, beautiful women, sexy music, that sounds like paradise. Well, it was paradise in the last video Aaliyah ever shot. in this video, the dancing rode the fine line of being suggestive and sexy, yet never crossed int othe category of rauchiness. How sweet is that?



2.Try Again-
The reason why female superheroes are popular is because men like watching women kick butt. Aaliyah took heed. She and dancers jam with a samurai's percision. Aaliyah goes on to toss and throw the dancers around like rag dolls.



1.Are You That Somebody-
this has to be one of her all around best. Her best song, video, dancing--everything. The choreography is complicated. However, it looked easy. Every type of dance style was thrown in--from tap, salsa, booty bounce. Everything put together made for one classic moment in time. Plus, the video is so good it made you forget how bad Timabaland is as a rapper.
