Product Description
R and B singer, talented actress, budding soul diva — by the age of 22, Aaliyah had accomplished more than most dream of, and seemed destined for superstardom. But on August 25, 2001, the dream died in a plane crash. Tim Footman tells the dramatic story of this precocious talent, from securing her first record deal at age 12, to nailing her first number-one hit at 15, to an early romantic involvement with her mentor, R and B producer R. Kelly. The book shows how she became a leading female vocalist, paving the way for other young performers like Destiny’s Child and Alicia Keys. The book also covers her brief acting career in such blockbusters as Romeo Must Die and Queen of the Damned. Dozens of color and black-and-white photos are included in this in-depth biography of the ill-fated princess of R and B.

 Aaliyah by Tim Footman November 7, 2007
New Aaliyah fans would find this book to be very informative. I really like the fact that the book contains fabulous, colorful, high quality pictures of Aaliyah. There are a lot of books that don't have pictures let alone colored pictures. The only thing that I didn't care for was how the author mentioned a great deal of information regarding people who were associated with Aaliyah. There's nothing wrong with giving a few facts about other people but not too much to the point where you end up going off topic. Overall the book is great and I definitely feel that every Aaliyah fan should purchase this book.
Aaliyah Review March 15, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I like this book because of all the pretty pictures that were inside, they were big and detailed. Sometimes the author would compare Aaliyah to other artist and sometimes get off topic. They just needed to focus on my girl only. THere is a picture of her and Dame in there when she is wearing a black dress and her nipple was showing. I dont like her exposed like that. But overall it was one of the best AALIYAH books I ever had.
Review for the "Aaliyah" Biography by Tim Footman By :Tee August 7, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Of all three biographies of Aaliyah that are out so far, I must say that this is the best one! Footman's book on Aaliyah's life is not only the first completely illustrated biography on her life to date, But the author was (unlike the other two writers, Farley and Kenyatta), is very detailed about her life and career. It pays tribute to the late entertainer in the loveliest way. Despite what the other reviewers claimed, I was never bored when I read this book. Most of the photographs of Aaliyah in this book are at least "8*10" in size, in full-color, and are very beautiful. They would make either lovely posters, or very nice screensavers,(If you can find these images of her on the internet.) There are also very nice pictures towards the end of the book of the murals on her billboard which promotes her last CD (in either N.Y. OR L.A.) and other murals/tributes that were created by her fans across the country after her passing. Her "Discography" and her short "Flimography" are also included. The author (Footman) at the end of the book puts it best when he simply says: "We may have lost Aaliyah, But at least we still have the music". To put it best, if you plan on buying a book about Aaliyah, This one is DEFINITELY worth buying. (Hopefully, one day, They'll make a movie about Aaliyah's life.) Until then,......WE LOVE YOU AND WE MISS YOU BABYGIRL.....MAY YOU REST IN ETERNAL PEACE!!!!!
