Around 0:40 in this July 2001 interview, you can see that she seems very distant, her mind is elsewhere... somewhere troubled.
Had somebody threatened her?
Did she know something?
How did she know it?
That's not the face of a beautiful, inconvenienced, in-demand R&B diva...
That's the face of a very worried person.
0:47 look at the way she's staring off into her thoughts... even the sort of nervous motion of her left hand denotes she's very distant, lost in those thoughts.
She has her right hand secure between her legs for comfort... to hold it still.
Like yeah the camera guy was going ham on the super facial closeups, but Aaliyah's screen life was nothing but a huge super facial closeup... so I don't think that's the culprit of the weird vibes.
0:58 when they were close to ready to start talking to her, she warmed up immediately, started coming closer to them with her presence... bringing it in from wherever her troubled thoughts had been.
She was sooo young. Sigh. She should have had so much more time.
2:50 oh my fucking God...
"From the moment I stepped foot on stage at 6 years old, in the play 'Annie'."
Oh my God.
Just.
I can't.
I fuckin' can't.
Keep in mind I have never heard this before and did not know that.
What the actual fuck is going on here.
Unbelievable.
Why am I even surprised?
Quote:"My first performance was at 6, I was in the play 'Annie' at school, I wasn't Annie, but I was an orphan, and from that moment I knew that I loved the stage and loved to entertain," she told Inside Edition in 1997.
