Brandy Turns Down Role to Play Aaliyah!

[Sweet Meat aka CC]

Brandy Norwood on Monday told Aaliyah Management that she was happy that they thought of her to play the role of Aaliyah but she said she really focus on music right now. "The Aaliyah Journey" which is set to start shooting in November would not fit into Ms. Norwood's schedule. She says she is set to go on tour at the end of September and will tour til mid December and would have no time to shoot the movie. She says since she did not get a chance to tour with Full Moon she is promoting both albums on her tour and the title she looking at is "Full Moon Of Afrodisiac". She also said that even if she wasn't going on tour she would not play the role because she says it would not feel right to her and she might cry everyday. On a song that she has on her album called "Should I Go" she dedicated the whole third verse to Aaliyah and she she was in tears when she sang it so she knows she wouldn't be able to not cry during the movie role. Brandy will appear in the movie as herself in small roles, however, and will also appear on Aaliyah's new album which is set to hit stores November 30.

Brandy as Aaliyah?! C'mon now...I'ono about anybody else but Meagan Goode (as much as I can't take her fake-lookin' self) would make an excellent Aaliyah orrrrr Jennifer Freeman (though her voice annoys the snot outta me!!!). But nah, not Brandy...

What brilliant person came up with that idea?
I don't know who I would want to play Aaliyah....I would probably want to see an unknown play her.

I said the same thing about Brandy when I read this..she's definitely not fit for the role! I think Jennifer Freeman would make a good young Aaliyah, I don't know about her older years though..

I think that Kiesha Chante could play her, or my cousin's boyfriend's sister, she looks like Aaliyah.

Megean couldn't play Aaliyah, because she can't dance

I'm glad Brandy didn't except the role..I just don't see her playing Aaliyah at all, shoot I see no one playing her..but if I had choose I just don't know who I would pick. That's a tough decision.

I can't see anyone playing her either. I mean Brandy doesn't even close to capturing her warmth or beauty. I agree with Tanee. I'd rather see an unknown play her.

*UPDATE*

Meagan Good Picked To Portray Aaliyah In Movie
Aaliyah will be coming back strong in the year 2005. The "More Than a Woman" singer will be releasing two albums in 2005. The first to hit the rack will be a duets album of all her hits. The album will feature Brandy, Destiny's Child, Monica, Toni Braxton, Usher, Tyrese, Lil Jon, JoJo, and more. The second will be an album full of new unreleased tracks, Aaliyah recorded before her death. It will also feature a DVD of video footage never before seen. There is also a movie in the works. It's titled "More Than a Woman" The film was recently titled "Aaliyah's Journey" but was changed. The actress to play Aaliyah is Megan Good. She was tapped by Miramax Films after Singer/Actress Brandy turned down the role. Norwood told management that she really wants to focus on her music. The Movie is set to start shooting in November 2004. In fashion, The Haughton’s will be launching a clothing line in memory of Aaliyah. It will be for girls. It will feature Urban, Casual, and Bed attire. I will also feature Accessories, and Body Products. Some of the proceeds will go to the Aaliyah Memorial Fund. It should hit stores in Summer 2005.

I wish they could've found somebody else instead of just choosing her! I don't like her playing Aaliyah! I hope they change their mind before they start filming (no knock again Megan, but not just for that role!)

Hey hey HEYYYYYYYYY...you BEST to take that back!!!

[AngelicVoices19]

I'm looking at the two side by side, and I just can't see it. I like Meagan but I don't see her as Aaliyah. Yeah I hope she can dance or at least be taught well enough to do this, cause there is no way she can play her without knowing how. Also the teeth. Sorry but Meagan's teeth aint right. I hope they change their minds.

I don't like this one bit.
