Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Do you ever go back to stop and listen to how Aaliyah sang The National Anthem at age 16? I listened to her sing it and heard a much bigger voice. She sang The National Anthem with no music. She sang the song so well without music that I could sense it with her voice. She was really singing out strong to the crowd.

When Aaliyah was singing the songs she sang on all of her albums, I knew she had a voice. I knew that there was more but because of the style of the songs and music, she didn't use her voice like she could have. Hearing her sing The National Anthem told me that. Aaliyah could sing. I always believe she could do a lot more with her voice.

If you have heard Aaliyah when she was a little girl on Star Search, you know I'm telling the truth. She was an awesome singer then at a very very young age, and she never stop singing.

I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to a podcast about the Princess of R&B, Aaliyah.
