I think Aaliyah has influenced artists like a Ciara.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Aaliyah was one of my favourite artists.
Aaliyah has been an artist I've grown up with, like an older sister.
Aaliyah revolutionized what it was to be a young black woman in America. She made it OK to be a nerd and to be a tomboy. She made it OK to wear leather and chains. She was the first black girl with an ombre. She was so far ahead of everything and everyone. It was just who she was. She was an innovator, but she didn't even realize it.
When I first met Aaliyah - it time for the world to hear this, I'm gonna give a little secret - I was in love with her.
I was a big fan of Aaliyah's. Growing up, my mom was a big fan of her music. When I grew to have my own taste in music, I really loved 'One In A Million.' That was my jam.
Like Juan Gabriel and Ana Gabriel, both singers and songwriters of legendary talent, Marco Antonio has reshaped a kind of Mexican romanticism. What he brings to pop music is the kind of songs that really talk to people's hearts.
There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.
I'm attracted to artists like Frida Kahlo, because her work was her life, her questions, her outrage, her suffering, her pain. Everything is in her work.
Beyonce's the only contemporary artist that I really, really idolize.
My sisters and I like a lot of different styles of music, but we're inspired by real artists like Beyonce and Adele.
