Posted by | Filed under Aaliyah, The Dream
Last week, The-Dream released a cover of the 90′s R&B classic by Aaliyah “One In A Million,” which is supposed to be featured on his upcoming Love Sessions mixtape. The blogosphere has been spinning with negative reviews to the point that The-Dream took to his Twitter to state the following
“No one will ever [sing] Aaliyah’s ‘One In A Million’ like she did! Deff not me lol,” he tweeted. “I did it because I Reilly[sic] miss her still and it was out of respect! To her I’m still just a fan not a writer not an artist a Fan! Calm down the worlds not over. But [at least] y’all will remember how dope she was and still is to this day!”
Video Blogger The Skorpion said ” You don’t fuck up a good track like that” and we somewhat agree. However, people have put Aaliyah and her music on a pedestal since she died to the point that I can’t imagine any artist being allowed to do a song of her’s without catching flack. Anybody remember when Beyonce mentioned that she wanted to cover “One In A Million”, people started a Facebook group protesting it! Nonetheless You be the judge! Listen to the track below and leave your comments!
