Yes I know this isn’t hair related but I think it’s a worthy mention (simply because I was and still am a huge Aaliyah fan). So another Lifetime biopic has been announced and this time Disney star Zendaya Coleman is stepping into the shoes of Aaliyah. There has been a bit of discourse on Zendaya not being ‘brown enough’ to play the 90’s sensation but I think she can pull it off. What say you?
Nah.
As far as looks go, no. But she can sing dance and act so I believe she’ll do her justice.
nop
If her hair is dyed black she has the look and she can sing and dance but she is a bit young for the role
Naw
she looks just a bit young for the role
I think she’s excellent for the role!!!! You don’t have to ‘look’ like someone to portray the character!!!!! Like mentioned above she can sing dance and act! And so could Aaliyah! I’m sure she’ll do an excellent job!!!!!!
Not hateing….but NO….
biopics are like television movies right? That’s ok I guess.
Not even close. But good luck anyways
Criticism at its finest. I celebrate all of OUR accomplishments. I don’t hate, I congratulate.
I don’t know why people are saying she can dance or act because I haven’t seen her do either good???
Nope. I think she’s too young to remember the “Aaliyah era”.
My thoughts exactly
Age doesn’t count…I love Etta James and I’m a 90’s baby….she always speak about how much she idolizes Aaliyah
Nopes…
I think she’ll do great
Don’t look like her but she’s really good & reminds me of her in a way.
noooooo. im sure she’s a talented actress but the looks aren’t there. BUT I guess we’ll have to see. Same thing happened w Lil’ Mama as Lefteye…I thought she portrayed lefteye well but we shall see 🙂
I disagree.
Uhm, NO!
She don’t look like Aaliyah sorry
She’s pretty… I think she will pull it off, give her a chance.
i think they should have chose ciara futures baby mama
No ( Keisha Chante) would have been a better choice.
Hellllllll no
Yes
Zendaya is a doll and cares about her audience, she will kill it!
Nooooo!
Lolita Price would have been the perfect choice.
Nah!
Y’all act like makeup don’t transform people. She’s pretty. They do have different features but once again makeup can fix that. Her talent and ability to portray Aaliyah is the only thing that matters
I didn’t need a close up. I know what’s right and what isn’t. She ain’t IT!!
NO… and isn’t she from the Disney channel
She can sing and dance, but damn play Aaliyah? Really? Like really though?
Its not about looks oits about who plays her best! Zendaya is a very talented singer and dncer im happy!
When she was Aaliyah for Halloween she looked just like her!
THIS is who should have played as Aaliyah. Up and coming actress Lolita Price. She looks JUST like her in every stage, is just as sweet as her and would have done her great justice. The resemblance is uncanny and almost scary. She even has the same teeth and smile as her. It’s crazy how someone can look so much like a person and not be related to them at all.
As I understand it, Zendaya is being cast as young Aaliyah not grown up Aaliyah.. but I could be wrong.
And just to be clear, the photo on the left is Lolita. Almost couldn’t tell, could you?
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152128149548445&set=pb.85962353444.-2207520000.1403054299.&type=3&theater
its true, she does but they dont seem to like to cast darker skinned females as main roles even when its necessary. Its a shame
She’s the same color as Aaliyah though. They have literally the same everything.
Dude they even have the same teeth and smile, this shit crazy.. They made a huge mistake here.. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151791696763445&set=a.450931213444.248006.85962353444&type=1&theater
Oh wow, I just went to her page and yes, they sure do look very much alike. Some of her pics look a little darker than Aayliah but nothing makeup can’t change. They are both gorgeous.
Aaliyah herself had darker skin, the media just always made her look lighter. I met her and her skin was like a caramel brown. Not light skinned at all.
Aaliyah tanned just like most light skin celebrities
Flash on a camera and certain lighting can make anyone look lighter than they really are.
theyre not nearly the same color…lol
They do look similar
@Fatrina they are the same color, here is one of her videos, she’s also a hair person and has a following on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQJ7fMpIebY&feature=g-upl
Aaliyah look way better than this girl but she might know how to act
Dude what are you talking about? They look just alike. She even sounds just like her when she talks..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8FdSpQBhqY
They favor A LOT!!!!
I agree Lolita Price is amazing. im mad she didn’t get picked
Could’ve done a better casting job…
Noooope
I don’t see it
I have always considered Zendaya to be white. That’s poor casting
She is not white. Her mom is a white woman and her dad is a black man.
I thought she was Hispanic
She’s biracial which still isn’t black. So Antoinette is correct. She looks 100% White, same as Mariah Carey. You are only black if you have 2 black parents. Simple as that.
That is ignorant (as in uninformed not stupid) and racist (however unintentional), and I don’t care what any of you have say about it to the contrary. YOU don’t get to decide what a person of Bi-racial or Muti-racial back ground considers themselves. By the very nature of their make up they are in a unique position, it is THEIR choice how they see themselves. Their “color”(level of skin tone) does not determine who they are no matter “how WHITE” you consider them to be, in fact no more than the texture of your hair defines your level of african-ess, lateness, asian-ess or anglo-ism . It is their own unique experience and their upbringing which accounts in a large part of how and who they relate to, and untimely where they feel they fit in. That is not your call, so stop isolating/seperating people with this attitude, many bi-racial people already feel like an outcast fitting in no where, you are simply furthering that self doubt within them with this type of mentality…NOT healthy nor is it helpful.
@daiquiri so Obama isn’t black?
That is ridiculous.. If one parent is one race and one is another then that child is biracial.. That child is not one race or the other.. This is highly offensive..
I think I am being misunderstood. I know she is biracial but what I am saying is that she more favours the white race than the black. When I first learnt she was biracial it took me by surprise. I would have never looked at her and said she had black blood running through her veins. Simple as that. Either way it is still poor casting. Just because she can dance? That has to be it. Come on.
@ Daiquiri, maybe that is “YOUR” peception of black. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you view it there are many definitions on what qualifies or quantifies someone being black. The 1/16 rule or 1 drop of black or african blood made you automatically black regardless of skin color. It is so very sad when people are judging others by a similar ridiculous standard as their counterparts who would actually disagree with your statement. During slavery times, biracial children were considered black & negroes all the same….
Education is free…..please educate yourself before your ignorance shows your lack if education.
I could not have said this any better, thank you for your beautifully worded and quite educated reply.
No way
Yall expecting a twin? She’s a fine choice.
No bad choice
nah that girl mentioned abovd looks good for it
I can see choosing her because of her singing and dancing talents.
She may have been the best that applied for the part….. With the right makeup, lighting, and clothing, they’ll make it right
She’s not supposed to be her clone. She’s an ACTRESS! And she’s an amazing dancer. AND she’s black. Well at least half. Still. It doesn’t matter
you can only be black if both of your parents are black.. one drop rule is an outdated slave law that people need to quit perpetuating. In no other country would she be considered black, and even here she isn’t; only by black people who want so badly for mixed people to be black.
Yesss Lolita Price looked like her has a great voice and all they should of cast an unknown person
I think sanaa Lathan would be a better choice
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i odnt care if she does not look like her but her aura does not suit aaliyah. you cant expect a cat to play the part of a lioness.
Fail
I don’t even want to see it, she should stick to the Disney Channel. I don’t even like her on there, my kids do.
No she is wrong the part especially cuz she is to young and looks nothing like her and is nothing like her
This was a Epic Fail by VH1 smh
Hell no her nose too damn fat
They should’ve cast sevyn streeter!
Just because she does not look dead on her means nothing. They want someone who can play the role. They could find an exact look alike and she suck!
Who cares, it’s just a movie, many people are saying she is too young, but Aliyah was very young also. Zendaya dances and sings well though.
its not “hating” she simply doesnt look at all like aaliyah…at any age
And Zendaya is black
She’s not; she’s biracial. You are only back if both of your parents are black, just like any other race.
❤️
Not at all!!!
I think keke palmer would be a better choice.
how?????????????????????????
Yall can find a better match
My only issue is that she’s too young and looks too young…Keshia Chante would have been perfect in my opinion
Or nah
It’s unfortunate how cruel people can be. She has a likeness to Aaliyah and her mannerisms when dancing and such are similar. I’ll wait to see whether it translates on screen before I judge.
To each it’s own I guess. If this is an accomplishment, not trying to undermine anyone’s acting goals. Not even hating. She just don’t look the part. I see Sanaa Lathan playing the part, but that just my opinion. Not sure what other actress would look similar to Aaliyah plus dance and sing.They are both beautiful.
I mean do u guys expect an exact look alike?? Really?? Give her acting ability a chance then judge! ! Geesh
Uumm no
Looking at this side by side of the two, it’s a definite no. Yes she can sing and dance but look wise there is a big difference. Just my opinion. 🙂
@daiquirri I’m referring to her skin color as black. I’m biracial, but I am black, at least that’s what I’m listed under the census as.
Not really. They shoulda got Sanna Lathan or Zoe Saldana
I know she is not white
Keke need to play aaliyah
She do whatever she put he,r mind to
No. She has nothing like Aaliyah. Aaliyah carried herself in a way that I haven’t seen anyone else be able to do.
Nahh
Nope awful choice and I don’t plan on watching it. So many potential picks and they pick this smh
They needed someone that was mature and sultry. Aaliyah’s eyes were smoldering! This girl is too Disney….Sorry, still a no for me.
….not feeling it
Angela Bassett doesn’t look like Tina Turner. But her acting ability made you see Tina, and not Angela. Let’s see if Zendaya can do the same thing.
Angela at least looked similar in her bodybuild. They’re closer than Zendaya and Aaliyah. Zendaya doesn’t even look mature enough to be Aaliyah around the time of her death. Maybe a young 12 yr old Aaliyah…lol
Agreed^^^ Angela is built like Tina and she was definitely a good choice for that roll. And Zendaya I just don’t see it. Tiny daughter Zonique would have even been a better choice.
Nope a good choice.
Zendaya has a huge fan base….this will make aaliyah the legend all her fans think she is…the young crowd will b the next Aaliyah fans…good move
I think it syill should have been Yaya
She not rig h t actress 4 this part
Lolita price should of played aaliyah hands down please go look her up she looks just like her!
Maybe became she play on Disney, that why she was pick 4 this part.
I’m not sure on her acting skills but she looks nothing like her? And too young looking.
I really believe keke should have done it I don’t think zendaya it’s bad but I don’t think that role fits her
Not!! looks nothing like aaliyah…An never will….ijs
True she doesn’t really favor Aaliyah in this pic, but her video “replay” really shows her talent to dance, and she’s a good singer. I’ll check it out:)
Sorry be no not a good choice..maybe RB singer Cassie… But Aaliyah no..
No she no Aaliyah
She is a great actress and a good choice
LOLITA PRICE, WOULD’VE BEEN EVERYTHING FOR THIS ROLE…..
They picked a bad pic to compare.. She was young on this pic(zendaya).. She might do a good job
Did they try to find a girl who looks like her?
Lolita Price- She has a Facebook page and she talks about not getting the role.
No nono she has no natural talent everything she do to me seem rehearsed even when she freestyle very very very bad bad bad choice.
I know one thing she’s going to have to watch a lot of videos and interviews talk to her mama, friends I’m trying to live like her, because I just don’t see it
She’s not even attractive
Not really …but hey who am I to judge
It’s a good fit it’s just a movie she can dance her as off I know no one would compare to Aaliyah
The money must move on regardless of any bodies opinion
She’s a nice girl but I was hoping they would find a fresh face, new talent to play her. Someone we really couldnt prejudge beforehand
That’s what they should do an go with Lolita Price, but I feel like because Zendaya has this HUGE Disney following, all they care about is the $money$
No I agree with the lolita price comment that makes way more sense
Not a good choice, there’s no resemblance.
I totallt agree with yoy Laquayva Anthony
Noooooo why noooooo!!
They look nothing alike..does she sound like her?
Ciara would be better
Looking like someone & being able to sing/dance/act are 2 totally different things….and besides I’m sure whomever judged the auditions selected who THEY thought was the best person for THEIR project! Do you REALLY think they need OR want your approval???
You said it all for me
If they want viewers then yes lol
Shoulda been Lauren London she looks more like Aaliyah
The singing and dancing wouldn’t matter, because the dance moves can be taught and the singing can be lip synced. Angela Bassett lip synced in What’s Love Got To Do With It as Tina Turner and got an Oscar Nomination for it.
Ummmmm….NO!!!!!!!
I’m #TeamLolitaPrice on this one! https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=85962353444
No, but she wants to be like her so bad, might as well.
No not even close.
FAIL!!
I don’t like the choice….I think Zendaya is cute and talented, but she looks nothing like Aaliyah and I don’t think she could pull off her personality.
Wasn’t she the girl on dancing with the stars? If so,she was from disney…
Nope not a good choice
Smh, ugh NO!
I personally believe in her and she will so great! I think what people really want to say is she isn’t dark enough. I can’t wait to see her shine
Pretty girl but not a good placement
She don’t look like she could fit the part
I agree they only picked this girl cause of the publicity of Disney zendaya has I just looked at this girl lolita price cause I domt know of her but I looked at her page and she would’ve been absolutely perfect for the rule of aaliyah she looks just like her she’s gorgeous not saying zendaya isn’t but they could’ve for better of finding someone besides this disney girl…..
Eh it’s ok I think she’ll do ok
A big no!
Noooooo sorry
Nope!!!
lolita price should have had it
Perfect!!!!!!!!!!! She doesn’t have to look like her to play the part. I think her talents (singing and dancing) would pay off for this roll.
Can’t act, sing, and looks nothing like her…. Just another cute face
Noway girl!!
She can play Selena Gomez lol!
I like her, but not for this role.
No…they could have done better but congrats to her anyways
Stupid
Lolita Price should play her!!
She doesn’t have to look like Aaliyah. Nobody can look like her but thts not the point. The point is if she can do the part. And she can.
N-O
The movie won’t even be on VH1 this time around, it’s on Lifetime. They could’ve gotten an unknown that looked similar and could probably sing better for this.
they share a resemblance….and Zendaya sings and dances well, so it’s a good choice.
Idk y…she like nothing like her.
No agree with Felicia Michelle. On the Selena thing. She does know enough about her to understand the part.
They need to get someone else….
Nooooooooo
This isn’t a good pic of her n she sings and dances just like Aaliyah did. Ppl just have to find something negative to say
Nah
Daiquiri A. Holland my mom is mixed w/ black & indian & my dad mix w/ black & white…so what that makes me …bi-racial….black,white & indian ….u don’t have to have 2 blk parents to be black…that’s stupid & a stupid saying …
Multi-racial could be a consideration if your parents are from multiple races and ethnicities (I too come from a multiracial back ground but my experience and perspective is that of any other person of color nothing more nothing less), and it is YOUR choice how you identify yourself, not some like Daiquiri A. Holland’s who has an archaic misguided view and cultural misunderstanding of race and ethnicity in 2014 (now 2015). I can’t believe this is even a discussion for people of color this day and age. Wow just wow. (Unless Daiquiri A. Holland is just trolling for reactions)
Hope she’s talented enough to pull it off
Nope……not @ all!
Ok she doesn’t resemble Aaliyah at all and I thought that they had someone else. Uggh disappointment.
Hell no!!!! She looks nothing like her….
Bad choice..I’m not gonna watch it.
I’m happy for her! I believe she’s good for the role because if I’m not mistaken aaliyah is an influence to her given her dance style and I believe that she would appreciate what the biopic it’s trying to convey! And by appreciate I mean take the role seriously and portray the artist in a respectable and dignified way
Ppl are missing it……so concerned with looks
Zendaya seems to be a great role model, shes a very talented young lady and seems to be very sweet…she is half African and probably has the same ancestry as most of us African Americans! As much as I loved Aaliyah if Zendaya had a chance to be friends when Aaliyah was alive maybe Zendaya’s values could have talked Aaliyah out of some of the things she did as teenager. ..you never know but stop hatin’ on this young lady! And shes a great dancer
Other than looks can anyone give good reason? I’d rather her play aaliyah than for rihanna to play Josephine baker!
Hmmmmm singing/dancing yes. But what movie u know about a person where the character doesn’t resemble the person? Desorea Cameron
My exact thoughts.
I don’t know much about this girl so…
Not at all! She is a great actress but I don’t think she could play Aaliyah. Teyana Taylor would have been better than Zendaya.
Angela Bassett looked nothing like Tina Turner looks shouldn’t matter
Anyway I’m happy for her cause I think she’s adorable but hey…. Who am I? Lol
No no no
Yeaaah not feeling this newbie artist playing aaliyah
#RESETRECAST!!!!!!!
That’s the whole point of a biopic. Its not about looking exactly the same but about good acting . I completely agree that no one will ever do what Aaliyah did better than she did but that’s what makes people love her so much. Zendaya can actually dance act & is a decent singer. I’m happy for her.
Why they never let Black people play Black people? First Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone. Now this rubbish. smh.
#TeamZendaya
All you old ppl really. Who gives a fuck if they don’t look alike.That’s not what is about. she is known In the public eye. That’s all that matters. No one knows this other chick like that. I had to Google that lady. Yeah she’s pretty…and? It’s about who you know and I don’t know her. Who’s gonna watch a movie with some one you wouldn’t recognize. Nobody.and that’s not good for T.V. It needs good ratings. With Zendaya , it will bring in ratings. THINK PPL DAMN.!!
Not even
first world problems!
She needs to stick with kiddie tv. She does not appear street enough or has the sex appeal Aaliyah had. I am sorry but this pick gets a thumbs down. Not interested in watching.
Not at all
Another case of white control Hollywood defining blackness and Al Sharpton isn’t outrage when it matters.
Hmmm idk….I figured shed be black…u know like aaliyah….I mean think about…..next movie about JFK aint gonna Denzel for obvious reasons. #pointblankfuckinperiod
They favor nothing.
All She Need To Do Us To Have Black Hair Like her
News flash…zoe saldana is a black woman. Shes a mix but she sure is black. I believe they were outraged b/c she is not as dark as Miss Nina Simone but at least they didn’t cast Brittany spears for the part. I can see it now….Margaret Cho plays beyonce. ..lol #foh
You don’t get to decide how she see’s herself, but it is nice of you to claim her for the “Black” community. You calling her black is completely disrespectful to her mother’s ancestry. If that is how she see’s herself then so be it, her mom would have to accept it, but it is not your call.
Lavon Hickonbottom thats one of the dummest things I’ve read. What’s black hair? Is that what u got or is it one of those things that genetics plays a role in? U know that whole toss up thing? #smh
Happy for her! She deserves it.
HELL NOOO!! And she FUGLY!
She is not cute
Ciara in my opinion would have been a better choice. I like zendaya but not as Aaliyah.
How is this girl ugly or fugly? Some ppl are jealous I see or have nothing better else to say. I bet you will be watching anyway. Smh.
Should choose Laura London
She’s pretty but I think they could have picked someone a little older for her role. She just has a baby face. I’m interested to see how she does though….
looks good
She does NOT look like Aaliyah. Aaliyah was TALENTED & GORGEOUS black woman. Every girl back then wanted to be her. They need to keep searching because this is THE WRONG CHOICE. And ya’ll wrong for putting up a side by side pic of them. This is Aaliyah not Selena (the actual superstar)
Ciara would have been better
I don’t know to much about Aaliyah but, my family told me and showed me videos of her. Aaliyah had confidents with in herself with making her music, being with her family and stuff. And that’s just like Zendaya. Aaliyah was a role model for young girls. Same with Zendaya. It’s not about if she is going to mess up the part. It’s really about how her emotions fits the part. When your acting you have to have some type of emotions to play the part of: TLC, Selena, and Ray Charles. It not about oh she was a Disney star. Zendaya has proven herself to everybody international. Zendaya has the voice and the dancing. And why do ppl care if a Disney star even gets the part anyways. #juststupid
I’m sure she will do great things but if it was just about looks I think this girl would have been perfect
She is on ig her name is Lolita price
Not at all. She looks nothing like Alliyah. Only in America
Hell no!
If she’s “not Black” then our President ain’t Black. Stop the bullshat when picking and choosing who’s Black or not.
Jamie Foxx/ Ray Charles
Denzel Washington/ Malcolm X
Angela Bassett/Tina Turner
Larenz Tate/Frankie Lymon
Will Smith/Muhammad Ali
Laurence Fishburne/ Ike Turner
J. Lo/Selena
Little Ma/Left Eye (hmm, sounds familiar & look what happened)
Keke Palmer/Chilli
Yup, ALL those people ‘looked’ EXACTLY like who they were portraying, so whoever plays Aaliyah must look just like her!
*rolls eyes*
FAIL!!!! they did not look EXACTLY like whom they portrayed, they may have had a slight resemblance if even that. Just because some one looks similar to a star does not mean they are right for the roll. It is about the talent and acting ability more than anything else. Beyonce looks nothing like Etta James and yet she was cast in that role (did she do it justice is open for debate).
She does even come close . It agree Ciara comes closer than anyone and shes gifted and talented like Alliyah . Strong chose .
Zoe saldana is a dark skinned woman..but she is not black..she Is actually from Colombia js. .she could possibly be ok 4 the part. .shrugs..
No..no…no Sanaa Lathan favors her but i no she would’ve done it ,,yo busheee
She do not look like her
They fucked this up…it shoulda been Ciara. Smh Leslie
Bad bad choice smfh
Even tho she looks NOTHING like Aaliyah I think she gone do a great job, she can sing her ass off, but I really never seen her act… So We will soon see how this turns out.. In one of her old interview she stated that Aaliyah was one of her favorite artists so I’m pretty sure she mimic alot of her moves thru out her career… Can’t just say she the wrong choice just yet…Give day Lil girl a chance damn!!!
They need to keep searching
Wack so disappointed
She actually is black. Her dad is from Zimbabwe
She can sing dance AND act like Aaliyah. Not to mention has a body like Aaliyah. Ciara can barely do none of the 3 besides dance. And Ciara has a deep voice.
Zendaya you have my support you have talent and I believe you are going to knock this out of the ball park!! my 7year old love you!!!
No. Look nothing alike!!!!!
No. She should have darker skin. Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, so many others.
Not a good pick for the role
NO SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HER PERIOD THEY JUST PUT ANYONE ON JUST TO DO SOMETHING. SMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JLO LOOKED LIKE SELENA SO AS FOR ZENDAYA UHHHHHHHHHH NO HAVE HER DO SOMETHING ELSE I WILL NOT BE WATCHING IT.
Regardless if she’s black or not this wasn’t a good choice. Way too young for a role like this .
Ms. Lolita Price should play her role….check her out…
Nooooo. She looks NOTHING like Aaliyah!!! Just bc her bangs cover her eye don’t mean she can pass for her. Noooo pineapples
The picture says it all…NO
Should’ve used Tiffany Evans
NOPE… Not even close!
Uggggh Zendaya tho?
TERRIBLE CHOICE !!!
It is going to be hard to pick someone that looks like Aaliyah that can sing and dance. I don’t know if Zendaya is the best choice but I will not say they should not have picked her because the girl is talented.
She looks like Selena Gomez to me.
i dunno. no resemblance but aaliyah does cover half her face with her hair anyway
She’s a good actress, singer and dancer I wish she looked more like her though!
I think it’s a good choice. While she may not look like her, she can act like her. If they could make Flex Alexander look like Michael Jackson, they can make her look like Aaliyah. Lol.
Lol!!! True.
NO not a good choice…..no offence to her but NO
they should have casted Tatyana Ali
zendaya is a pretty girl but its not a good match.
Bad choice. Aaliyah wasn’t mixed or at least didn’t look like she was. This girl looks mixed & looks nothing like Aaliyah. A good choice would have been Keisha Chante (106 & Park) but she didn’t get picked. Who’s producing this…clearly someone that’s not in touch.
Watch “One In A Million – Aaliyah (Keshia Chante)” on YouTube
One In A Million – Aaliyah (Keshia Chante): http://youtu.be/L2KSfv16RHk
No she just isn’t fit for the part..i agree with Lolita Price playing the role of Aaliyah.She is Aaliyah twin an she is multi-talented as well.
No…
No should’ve picked another actress
whoever said that ciara, should play Aaliyah I most definitely agree with you 100 % yes i think i ciara would be perfect for that part
I THINK SHE WILL BE OK TO PLAY THAT
ROLE.
I think its funny to discredit someone’s talent because its not who “you” would like to see in a particular role. I’m sure those who loved the Anne Rice novel “Queen of the Damned” felt the same way when Aaliyah was cast as the leading role… Think about it? She wouldn’t have been my first choice either, but I’m not going to say that she doesn’t deserve it.
Here’s an example coming from the business side: The young lady casted already has a strong following & I’m sure whoever is representing her (agent, manager) is good at their job. Why not cash in on someone who is already established versus taking a chance on an unknown talent? This was a business move, pure & simple. A lot don’t agree; it’s not hurting or helping me so I could care less personally. But everyone saying this was a bad choice will still watch it because you want to SEE if she can actually pull it off!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO NOT AT ALL
no not good choice, they look nothing alike
Yes n no cuz she don’t luk dat much like ha…..now n tlc all 3 girls luk’d like the real tlc members
Zendaya style talent matches Aaliyah. I watched the Disney channel with my child and she reminds of her. They selected her based on talent match not her racial background. Let’s not 4get that Aaliyah singing talent was not on point. She was an entertainer not a singer. Zendaya talent and over all style is what got her selected.
Zendaya being young has nothing to do with it because Lil Mama was young and did a hell of a good job playing Left Eye. BUT I still don’t think Zendaya is the right person to play Aaliyah. I can’t see Aaliyah in her AT ALL!
as long as she hit dem notes right
No Ciara would’ve been better
I agree!!!!
She kinda favors Aaliyah and she’s so much more comparable to Aaliyah than Zendaya is!
No, naw& nope
not a good look
Dinamite Wright u should play this part lol
Not a good choice at all smh
BAD CHOICE THEY SHOULD HAVE PICKED THE OTHER GIRL… !
Aaliyah brother should do it they look like twins
Looks nothing like her
Jennifer Lopez looked nothing like Selena Quintanilla and it made her career what it is today.
You seem to be one of a very few with actual brain cells (or over the age of 13)
Lol omg. You should of seen me jumping up and down when they announced this. Kisses for dawn
Ciara may not be available due to her newborn and pregnancy weight to lose. But let’s be supportive of Zendaya. I say good luck baby girl.
I think she is a good choice she can sing and dance, plus she is an actor. And she looks like her a slight bit. I think she works. : )
Ciara would have been a way better pick than her
Loli should be Aliyah
I Agree! CIARA favors Aaliyah
THE MOVIE IS CANCELLED. THANK GOODNESS AALIYAH’S FAM WILL NOT ALLOW IT
No. Not a good choice.
This is a definite no, especially when Aaliyah’s family doesn’t even approve of the idea of the movie period……Idk about this one.
No i think lolita should be in as aalyiahs biopic she is a reborn aalyiah look lolita up on utute
@lolita price would be perfect for the role
Movie was cancelled Aaliyah’s fam not impressed!!
Lolita Price looks like a man in drag. I am sick of hearing she looks like Aaliyah with her drawn on eyebrows ,mannish jaw,wide nose and messed up teeth. Aaliyah was stunning .Zendaya looks nothing like Aaliyah either .Keisha chante looks like a midget.They need to cast someone that is not famous .The end.
