aaliyah is that somebody

i'm sure y'all already know the beth ditto version of this jam. and i remember hearing that version and being sure that i liked that one better because i love aaliyah and all, but beth is clearly a better singer. but then i watched this video and i realized that while beth has the pipes, aaliyah's got the dance moves on point. i am also not ashamed to admit that when this song first came out, i memorized the dance moves because dancing makes me feel just as good as putting on a brand spanking pair of kicks for the first time. so before i go out tonight, i am going to youtube nineties r&b and drink some vodka to get me set of a good night on the dancefloor. i love long weekends.
