"it's a sad day in the world of r&b", says ry. he called me while i was at work tonight to let me know that aaliyah died in a plane crash. he also told me hype williams was aboard the plane and died as well, although the article doesn't mention his name. why do accidents like this happen? she's such a young, talented, and beautiful lady. makes me so sad.

fyi: aaliyah in arabic means one of the best, gifted and talented... and that she truly is.
