    Don’t get me wrong I like Beyonce, But before her it was Aaliyah. One in A Million was the s$$t. Evidentally it was the s$$t to Beyonce too, that’s why she wants to remake the song.If she had any respect for Aaliyah she would let her rest in piece and write her own music. Beyonce also takes alot of credit for stuff she didn’t write like she said on BET thet she sat in a hotel for two weeks and wrote several songs including irreplacable which later Neo said that he wrote the song for Beyonce. Dangerously in love, crazy in love, also songs she claimed to write and didn’t. I love her as a singer but she is a biter. She definately needs to chill

  2. Imonetoremember says:

    Beyonce is twice the singer Aaliyah was. I don’t really get the Aaliyah hype. Her death was tragic but many people have never heard of her. Beyonce is truly where she belongs, at the top of her game.

  3. brytney says:

    i absolute LOVE LOVE LOVE aaliyah. it is tragic that she passed away. aaliyah’s music is what we only have still left of her. if beyonce were to try and remake one in a million it would not be right. one beyonce doesnt have the voice for aaliyahs vocals. beyonce just needs to leave aaliyah’s music alone. and to the person who said that aaliyah remade music, why yes she did but they were still alive. it would not be right for beyonce to remake this song and get all credit for it. beyonce is big as it is she really just needs to relax!

  4. aaliyahashantiSTAN says:

    well by name u cn tell what im gonna say well iont think bey shld do the song cuz she gon hav alotta us :aaliyah stans: commin 4 ha nd if she does do it they gon be like the best aaliyah tribute ever…. beyonce is 2 damn overrated errwhere u look is fuxcing beyonce ugh so bish sitchoass down

  5. shay aka babygurl says:

    I think that beyonce should go sit her a$s down some where! i mean damn you have your own style so why you gotta bite aaliyah’s style?
    bottom line is beyonce would lose hella fans if she goes through with this. i’m not a fan of her’s (beyonce’s) but i listen to her music sometime. not much as aaliyah tho. but yeah any way beyonce go sit your ancient a$s down somewhere. damn retire or something!!

  6. sahsa says:

    beyonce let the song stay with aaliyah eveything aint bout u beyonce plz dont take her song its one of the only things we have left of her beyonce you always wanna take credit u stole aaliyah’s man jayz now u wanna steal her song how could u be so cruel thats horrible i thought u werent a nasty and mean jerk but looks like u r i just cant beleave it i hope it aint true. wow i looked up 2 u y would u do somethin like that

  7. Christina aka tina says:

    Dottie that is pretty true by the way

  8. dottie says:

    i don’t want bey to do this song only because she has wonderful vocal range and she would have to hold back to do this song. when bey sing i love her energy and see her be her self. But however, Kelley Rowland will do the song just and also make a good aaliyah in a movie .Think about it yall.

  9. Christina aka Tina says:

    Well this is just a rumor about beyonce doing one in a million.

  10. BRem says:

    I wish some of you judgemental people would just get a fuckin life and stop low rating such an honored person come on beyonce made history at the grammies by winning an outnumbered amount of awards why dnt yall think she should do the damn song? Go beyonce philippians 4:13 says I can do all things thru christ which strenghtens me!

  11. ashton2091 says:

    you’re dum if you really think that. since michael jackson? c’mon now. why cause she sold a bunch of albums. it’s called advertisment. people will by anything in front of their face. you must be one of these people

  12. Mike says:

    really people? i love Aaliyah but hey Aaliyah did remakes of other great singers’ songs too like choosey lover and at your best so why cant beyonce? Let beyonce have a shot at “One in a Million.” she just wants to honor a true legend and who are we to stop her?

  13. Christina aka tina says:

    Um i hate when BEYONCE DO THIS TO US.

  14. AALIYAH'S # 1 FAN says:

    U need to shut the fruck up u dumb booty biatch can’t nobody replace aaliyahs voice its everybody against u beyonce can’t sing like aaliyah and she can’t sing at all I hope aaliyahs family says no to this because she will ruin this song why do you think aaliyah made it cause she was truly “ONE IN A MILLION” not beyonce I hope timbaland missy and even her ex rkelly tries to stop this bs that’s messed up “R.I.P. BABYGIRL YOU ARE TRULY MISSED YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER YOU WERE AND STILL ARE AN TRUE ANGEL FROM HEAVEN.”

  15. Liyah Stan says:

    Dead @ DjPhoenix LYING. People ALWAYS had nice things to say about Aaliyah. People say she was sweet, humble, NEVER turning down an autograph, Aaliyah donated money to charities, performed @ concerts For diseases, and even ran marathons. and the plane thing wasnt their fault. The plane company did NOT weigh the plane. If the s$$t was overloaded and the company knew, You think they would fly the fuckin plane? The pilot was also on crack. Stop lying on the dead u broke Fagg.

  16. Christina aka tina says:

    Shut up beyonce is Great but Aaliyah is a true artist.

  17. Christina aka tina says:

    Well Rene you get a life get a job oops you don’t have one.Beyonce is a great artist but not like Aaliyah.Beyonce the song diva i love that song but More than a woman by Aaliyah is hot.So Rene Shut the f$$k up and get a life.

  18. muffin10 says:

    I truly miss Aaliyah now!She actually was in shape! Now everybody wants to be thick with a big booty!Aaliyah was on a higher realm than Beyonce is.

  19. tha one tha only connie says:

    i theink that beyonce should do the song because is she messes up on the song then it will be her fault not ours. she will be the one who will runn off the stage in stalletos crying because she didnt sing the song right n front of milions of people. lett he r make her own desisions. it isnt like we go up on the stage and mess up on a beautiful song like that.

  20. Christina aka tina says:

    Well beyonce is great aaliyah too but aaliyah has the most talent.

  21. Djphoenix says:

    Actually, I loved Aaliyah’s music, but she behaved in a more spoiled and demanding way than Beyonce has ever been reported to behave. Aaliyah came off as being quite self-centered and was reported to be sometimes unreasonable. This character flaw of hers unfortunately caused her her life when she forced the pilot to put all of her trunks and baggage on the plane even though he told her it could not work, and implored her not to do it. You guys sit here and defame Beyonce and criticize her for traits that others displayed instead of hersult.

  22. lisa says:

    i can’t stand beyonce she tries to make thee great aaliyah song over don’t even try i heard that she wanted to make at you best over to s$$t plese sit yourself down you just want to be like the r&b queen

  23. Rene says:

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????? BEYONCE’ HAS THE MOST LOVELY VOICE. SOME OF YOU NEED JESUS IN YOUR LIFE, I MEAN SERIOUSLY YOUR TALKING ABOUT AALLIYAH COMING DOWN AND SLAPING BEYONCE’ ??? WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING IS PRAYING FOR AALLIYAH, SHE WAS INTO SOME DARK @*## BEFORE SHE DIED. REMEMBER THE MOVIE QUEEN OF THR DEAD? DO YOU KNOW THE MUSIC BEHIND THAT. YES WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD, SOME ARE OBEDIANT SOME ARE DISOBEDIENT. I AM SURE AALYIAH IS WANTING PRAYER . REMEMBER THE RICH MAN IN THE BIBLE AND LAZURUTH THE VERY POOR MAN? WHEN THEY BOTH DIED THE RICH MAN ASK IF HE COULD GO DOWN AND WARN HIS BROTHERS TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS BECAUSE THE TOURMENT WAS SO GREAT. AND GOD TOLD HIM NO ,BECAUSE HIS BROTHERS HAVE THE CHURCH.

  24. Christina aka tina says:

    Yeah ok guys Aaliyah haterz get a life aaliyah lovers you nice.

  25. Rochelle says:

  27. aaliyah fan says:

    ok for all of u sayin aaliyah can not sing and she was not talented or she did not win as many awards as beyonce u bitchs got it twisted her voice was soft mellow and calm and she hit higher notes than b. yea bee got talent and won awards but forreal who payed attention to her like that before she shook her a$s in crazy in love or before she hooked up with jay aaliyah was smart beatiful(without makeup)and talented in her own special way thats why she is one and a million and dumb asses before you say s$$t get it strait aaliyah would have blew up if it werent for the crash u r ignorant she had a brief career if u kno wat that means

  28. christina west Aka tina says:

  29. Aaliyahfan116 says:

    Look! Dont get smart.. I was just giving out my opinion.. Just like everybody else..

  30. Boikhutso says:

    This F$$$$$g rumour started almost 2 years ago and 2 years later u’re all still fighting about it, would now not be the correct time to accept that it’s just a rumour?

  31. AaliyahFan116 says:

    NOOOOOO Beyonce would not make a good remake of that song!! Aliyah has a timeless, smooth voice. And Beyonce, huh! dont get me started on her. She wears to much weave in her hair. SHe had long hair when she was a kid, what happened?!? Aaliyah never really wore weave foreal, and thats good.. Lets start saving the horses hair people!!

  32. AaliyahFan116 says:

    I know this is old, but Beyonce you need to sit down. Why would you wanna remake Aaliyah’s hit song?!? Im a true Aaliyah fan, and if Beyonce remakes One in a million, all she gonna do is YELL over it!!She aint tryna honor Aaliyah, she tryna screw the song up.. Dont do it Bey, your career will go down the drain if you do, and a whole bunch of Aaliyah fans will be after you if you ever do. Leave Aaliyah’ s # 1 song alone, and let her Rest In Peace. Dang!! Go take a break Beyonce… Oh another thing.. NO MYA SHOULDNT REMAKE ONE IN A MILLION, SHE’LL RUIN IT TOO! ACTUALLY NO SINGER SHOULD REMAKE ONE IN A MILLION. THE SONG IS CLASSIC, AND TIMELESS..

  33. ms joanne has bad weave says:

  38. "Q" says:

    To all of those who continue to hate on Beyonce, GET A LIFE. Aaliyah was very talented and I will always respect her, but what is the need to rip on Beyonce just to show how much you all loved Aaliyah. I don’t think that she should remake the song, but would it be the end of the world. How many other artists remake or sample from someone who has passed away. I truly believe that if it were not Beyonce, it wouldn’t be so much of a big deal.To all who said that Beyonce just shakes her a$s, she must be doing something right, because she made you look.They are two beautiful, talented black women, why can’t we just respect them both for their talent and overcoming adversity and not becoming young black statistics. There really is no compairing the two. They didn’t even sing the same type of material or have the same type of style.Did any of you hear Beyonce say that this was a definite thing? I didn’t, so chillout, damn! Its not that damn serious.

  40. Ansara23 says:

    I have to say that Beyonce will ruin one of the top r@b songs in history with a remake of Aaliyah’s “one in a million”.. B i s talented but is just an average singer at best..Her a$s is her best asset and if she just sanged a song once, without all that running, would be an accomplishment itself..I have seen B in concert and after 30 minutes of shaking her a$s and getting winded, she sounded terrible…She was’nt sounding that great B4 then..Have a baby B and shut the f$$k up with your limited skills PLZ!!!!!!!!

  41. keyosha says:

    she always in sombodys stuff
    im startin not to like beyonce

  42. jar says:

    Soverdatop,

    Obviously, you know nothing about Larry Graham or Aaliyah. You said that Aaliyah did the same song…NOT!!! She was an orginal baby. The only similaries they had was the same name of the song…TWO different songs all together. I see your one of those Beyonce fans who don’t deliver the facts, you just went right for the attack. It’s OK to like your artist, but she is a BIG COPYCAT.

  43. Christina aka tina says:

    And Aaliyah is great and she is not comeing back so she is in heaven in peace.God Bless Aaliyah for being here for a short time but she made it in peace.

  44. Christina aka tina says:

  46. leslie says:

    beyonce mya milian olivia ashanti amerie cassie ciara rihanna—————–aaliyah FARTS ON ALL OF THEM BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    beyonce should go sing about halos

  47. Toni L says:

    She better not do that. Aaliyah was one of the greatest artists of all times. Beyonce’s style is different from Aaliyah’s. Cassie has already tried to mimic’s A’s style, now Beyonce? So not happenin.

  48. sean g says:

    pretty1 I’mma say this real calm. Beyonce is “NOT” all tht. She can sing but AALIYAH would be “LIGHT YEARS” beyond beyonce if she was still “ALIVE”. AALIYAH had a “BREATH TAKING” voice. look her up on youtube aaliyah live vocals.

  49. AALIYAH AIN'T DEAD says:

    Beyonce lost her damn mind or whats left! If she trys it Imma make like Etta James and beat her fake a$s.Besides she need to stick to her lame song,lame weave and her D-list movie Obessed.

  50. christina west Aka tina says:

    Aaliyah is the hosstest singers of all times Aaliyah rocks beyonce likes to shake her butt
