Producers can sometimes get away with a good biopic without ensuing
a social media riot like the new James Brown film. But other “more sensitive”
fan bases won’t accept any sort of posthumous project to be created in the
honor of their favorite dead celebrity. Fans of the late Aaliyah, top the list
of people who need a life.

| The Disney kids win again -__- |
Nearly 13 years after the untimely death of the great
songstress, news was released that Disney star Zendaya will receive the daunting
pressure of playing Aaliyah in the upcoming Lifetime movie. (What? VH1 lost out
this time?) And just like anything that anyone tries to put Aaliyah’s name on,
fans took to their keyboards and IPhones to protest the project. And those who weren’t
busy signing a petition to stop the movie production all together, were up in
arms about why the biracial Shake it Up star wasn’t an exact, identical match
to Baby Girl. (God help the poor soul that has to cast the Beyonce movie in the
future)
While likeness to a star does make biopics more believable, the
ability of the actor to imitate the intended star is more important. While
people are mad that Zendaya’s side part isn’t on the right side, people should
be more startled that they got a Disney star to shoot a Lifetime movie. The
terms “Disney” and “Lifetime movie” should never be used in the same sentence unless
proceeded by the phrase “…..make the corniest movies ever” .
And here's an unpopular opinion: physically, Aaliyah isn’t that
hard to imitate. One of the reasons we loved Aaliyah is because she looked like
a way prettier version of that pretty girl you hated in high school. She was
relatable. She was every man's dream because she was “obtainabley unobtainable”
with an angelic voice. (Pretty much the girl version of Drake) With the right
crop top and the perfect side part bang, Zendaya should nail the part
physically.
However, like the rest of the world I will have my tissues gathered
when the movie airs in late December. The story of Aaliyah is movie worthy let’s
just hope Ms. Zendaya can do Baby Girl some justice.
What do you think?

| The power lies in the side bang..could make or break the whole movie. |
 |
| Eh....this could work, I guess. |
 |
| Now my vote has always been with Kesha Chante' |
 |
| Physically? Kesha would have tapped it. Oh well. We'll just have to see what young Zendaya can do. |
