Huh? Mezzo? One of the most girly voices in pop.

Without addressing how weird it sounds for a girly voice to not fit into a female designated voice-type, i'm just going to get rid of that section because i meant to take it out anyways.

Nice thread. I would like to note that a lot of her songs are missing and I can help with notes if you like. Also she has no song called “Rap Tracks Publishing”... she has sung down to D3 live 4 Page Letter Hot.97. In the acapella version of The One I Gave My Heart To she has a C6 starting from an F6. Try Again song during the chorus has a G#5 can also be heard clear in acapella. Steady Ground is another song that has F3s Eb3. C5. Where Could He Be has amazing low and high notes from Aaliyah. Loose Rap (2001 demo) has a B5. Acapella of Journey To The Past features Bb5. Eb6. Bb6 (and in the recording of the song in the studio she hits a G#6 and the producers loved it :)
She has a song called Danc’n has great Eb3s. Live and Die for Hip Hop has Eb3s. She has a G#5 in If Yo Girl Only Knew San Diego show and also C#6 there. She has another A5 in Are you that somebody live (it’s bad quality but it’s A5 with possibility she touched a C6) Giving Up is another great song F3s Bb4s C5s D5! G5 head note towards ending. Her harmonies have a lot of notes. Also Rock The Boat acapella there is F5 it’s heard clear on the acapella.
