Aaliyah & all her clones = New York Knicks.
Hardcore image, but with a touch of class. Had a chance take over while "Jordan" was hibernating,
but ultimately couldn't capitalize because the competition was too good. Was lowkey patterned after "the Bad Boys"....
TLC = the Bad Boys
Came in ruff and didn't give a fucc, made a different lane and changed the game. Made up of different personalities, but made it work.

@ comparing a solo artist and her clones to a team... as if Aaliyah had a group album with her clones. Groups like SWV, Black Stone, Destiny Child, Total, 702, Envogue should be compared to teams, not a solo artist.
According to you, Whitney is Jordan... If Whitney is Jordan than how is Aaliyah the Knicks??? Aaliyah was never a contemporary of Whitney.. She was next in line.
if anything Aaliyah= Grant Hill...
Grant was one of the handfuls that was Next in line to carry the league. AAliyah was one of the young RNB singers next in line to carry the genre.
Both Detroit.
Both Laid Back, Non Divas.
Both grew up middle class..
Both had ties to famous ppl. Grant father was A Football player, Mom's was a politician. Aaliyah's uncle was a manager, and managed R.Kelly, Her aunt was Gladys Knight.
Both had Immediate and early success. Both were Married to RNB artists

........................... Both careers were tragically cut short.
#2.TLC copied Aaliyah... when TLC first came out with, On the TLC tip in 92 they were eccentric colorful and playful...
Then AAliyaAh came out two years later, and 7 months before CRAZYSEXYCOOL
