The photo that you have as Keshia is not Keshia Chante.

umm yes that is keyshia chante look closer!!! her hairs different but thats her…

in the pic of keshia chante she looks more like mya than aaliyah. in some pics she looks like aaliyah and in some she looks like mya

She should play her because they both look alike just like twin sisters

they do not look like twins they look close enuf to even be friends. I think Keisha might have the potential to play Aaliyah because i kno that there not gooin to pick anyone to play Aaliyah unless. Aaliyahh’s mom agree’s and her closest friends like Missy Elliott, Ginuwine, Lil Kim, and Timberland. I jus hope they pick the right person to play OUR BELOVED ANGEL-
AALIYAH DANA HAUGHTON-
Rest In Peace

Damn that girl looks just like aaliyah i actually herd kiesha sing in person and she has the same swag as alliyah. Kiesha’s recorded voice sounds like aaliyah live voice so the flic should b on point i can’t wait to see it.

i actually thought michelle williams of destiny’s child looks alot like Aaliyah. just the looks, not the sounds. but if Keisha Chante gets to portray Aaliyah in the upcoming biopic, then thats cool with me too. :}

I think the person who should play Aaliyah is Alicia Keys

MICHEAL ARE YU STUPID
WTF IS YUR PROBLEM…
ALICIA KEYS DNT LOOK NOTHIN LIKK AALIYAH

I DNT PLAY ABOUT MY GURL…

KEISHA WOULD BE GOOD TOO!

I wish Keisha the best..she is a very pretty young woman..and her features are ALOT MORE SIMILAR to Aaliyah’s than Destiny Lightsy’s. I think she could make it..and to play Aaliyah if you look at Keisha’s pictures she DO look more “Aaliyah-ish” than Destiny Lightsy. Her skin tone and attitude is the same. So good luck to her, and I hope she plays Aaliyah well. I will be sure to check it out when they start filming it!

nobody is a bigger Aaliyah fan than “I”. My first initial reaction to Keyshia playing Aaliyah was negative, iwasent happy about it . I did initially feel that Teairra Mari should play Aaliyah . The fact that they went to the same school has nothing to do w/ it, ifeel like she would look most like Aaliyah, w/ her hair in the face, then the curly hair Aaliyah used to wear before she died . Also, she would be able to interpret more since she went to the same school . ithink she could pull it off but then ifound out that she isn’t a dancer and that was a HUGE setback. to play Aaliyah your dancing skills have to be on POINT . so I’qve come to the conclusion that keyshia should play Aaliyah . ijust hope she gets some vocal lessons because her voice isn’t all that great . & even though are angel wasent a whitney houston, she wasent a rihanna either . we don’t want people thinking aaliyah was a no talent pop singer . besides that ihope this will be bigger than notorious, well it will be but still icant wait !

Teairra Mari should not play Aaliyah. This female looks like Aaliyah more than that girl just not in that photo, Believe me

fRIGG THIS shit dat bitch looks nothin like Aaliyah im soo glad that she’s from canada and willopen the door for other upcoming canaidian artists like myself but honestly not ALLLL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE how in the hell do they resemble and as someone who loves Aaliyah’s music and looked up 2 her growing up im extremly exited for the movie but is discusted at the choice of who to play her

no no no like i said before she looks like her younger sister. Aaliyah is was wayy taller then she is. She looks more like the singer Mya 2 me but like wtf. This isnt a Mya movie. i want this move to be big like Ray or Selena not something that i just watch one time Ray abd selena where said moves. i hope she a good actor thats all i care about. and with all the shit they got 2day in hollywood they could make her look like Aaliyah easy
RIP Aaliyaha
its not about look its about talent to me

I think that Keishia Chanté could fit the bill physically, with some make up, hair color and hair cut.
Now she has to work hard and study Aaliyah ’s attitude,walk,talk…..
Personnaly I don’t think that Keishia has the same voice than Aaliyah. Keishia’s voice is by far different from Aaliyah’s.
Some people should listen more Aaliyah’s track before comparing them.
Recently I listened to the hope you cry track (keishia feat.timbaland). It’s good.
Well I hope that Keishia Chanté will make very good work and won’t disappoint us, Aaliyah’s fans.
Aaliyah, I miss you. R.I.P Baby girl.
