Timbaland & ‘Black Twitter’ ROAST Lifetime’s Aaliyah Movie… [WATCH FULL VIDEO]

Nov, 16 2014 | Written by ATLien
Welp… the ‘highly anticipated’ Aaliyah biopic was a total fail… at least in the eyes of the twitterverse!

‘Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B’ aired last night (November 15, 2014) on LifetimeTV and the television network’s treatment of the life & times of Aaliyah Haughton was not exactly as bad as they say, but it was bad enough to be totally hilarious.

The film was terribly cast, horribly written and being that Aaliyah’s family was dead set against it (click HERE if you missed that), there was no Aaliyah music anywhere in the flick.

Lifetime also tiptoed around Aaliyah’s scandelous relationship with R. Kelly, to whom she married when she was 15 (he was 27), treating it as a love story gone awry. One scene even included a heart-to-heart between the pair where Aaliyah (played by Alexandra Shipp) states, “Eighteen feels like an eternity from now.” *sigh*

Read more about the online reactions to Aaliyah’s biopic + in case you missed it (and need a laugh today), watch the full ‘Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B’ movie below…

VIDEO: Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B

For the record, there was no one in the film that even slightly resembled any of the famous parties prompting social media to have a field day with hashtags like #LifetimeBiopics and #LifetimeBeLike.

Several memes were created which hilariously poked fun at Lifetime’s horrible casting choices…

Elise Neal as Gladys Knight? Child please! And don’t even get me started on the casting choices for R. Kelly, Dame Dash, Missy & Timbaland….

Timbaland was played by Izaak Smith and Missy Elliott was portrayed by Chattrisse Dolabaille…. and neither of the actors even slightly resembled the musical legends.

Timbaland posted his thoughts about the film via social media and called it ‘disrespectful’ to Aaliyah’s legacy.

And with no Aaliyah music cleared, the musical aspect of the biopic was absolutely horrenduous!

Lifetime didn’t license any of Aaliyah’s music, but it did use some of the covers she did like the Isley Brothers’ “At Your Best (You Are Love)” and Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up.”

I don’t know if you noticed, but in the scene where Aaliyah performed the Marvin Gaye cover on a talk show, the music seemed to speed up during the middle of her performance…. then it slowed down again. It was really weird.

And last but not least, talk show host Wendy Williams got blasted online for her involvement in the film.

Williams apparently executive produced the film and promoted it via her twitter. Her involvement prompting even more memes…

What did you think of Lifeteime’s ‘Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B’ biopic?

Was it a total flop? or did you enjoy the story?

  Black Twitter roasted this movie over an open fire. And I’m so sick of people lying to the lead girl that she did a good job in the movie so they can get a retweet. Aaliyah’s family was not on board with this project, people knew about it, and they are rightfully upset, so don’t shoot the messenger. Had you never taken the role in the first place you wouldn’t be involved in the butt of so many jokes.
  
  And notice, Aaliyah, Missy, Timb, and Dame Dash were all light skin in the movie but in real life are brown skin. And Missy and Timb were skinny? Stay sleep.

  That "lightskinned" thing was all Wendy. She probably thought Missy wouldn’t have a problem with it. Missy’s weight fluctuates but she’s always had a beautiful brown complexion. This movie SUCKED but it WAS a tv movie. Not everyone can pull off TLC’s winner. Lil Mama stole hell out of that! At least we know NOT too get too pumped up for Lifetime’s Whitney movie.

  I´m very confused on why so many are hating on this movie. I thought it was really good. The young lady who played the lead did a great job. What did people want or expect?
  
  Key
  
  Thats because you was not a true fan of Aaliyah. I grew to her music,he shows. She loved her family with all her heart, And for them not being able to be apart of it was wrong.Aaliyah was one in a million.All the persons who was close to her should have been involved. Not from a book that someone wrote and didnt know anything about her.
- Michelle Newman
  
  Most people follow the crowd when it comes to a formed opinion…the movie was cool even though the casting was horrible. But over all it was a cool movie, and most of the people complaining were like 5 or not even born yet when Aaliyah died..smh…
  
  Kary M.
  
  Heffa, ain’t nobody complaining people are just stating facts! And just because yo ass might’ve been only 5 when she died, doesn’t mean that EVERYONE who’s complaining was either that age or wasn’t even born yet. And your comment just proves what someone else said about "these younger black generation disrespecting older artists that came out before them." Don’t nobody know their history, so some people think it’s okay to talk reckless about history you know absolutely NOTHING ABOUT. But, you never see the younger generation of white, spanish, latin, etc. dissing their legends. And that’s what they call them…LEGENDS. And God forbid, IF ANYBODY made a mockery of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, U2 etc. in a film; there would be SO MUCH BACKLASH, you best believe SHIT WOULD BE SHUT THE F*CK DOWN in a heartbeat. It’s just unfortunate as hell that we as Black people can allow certain "uneducated & uninformed negroes" to make claims like they’re stated facts, if you a) weren’t around during the time, b) didn’t know the real T, and/or c)was a FAN NOT A STAN that was for real about her as an artist and a person. That is why our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents ALWAYS teach us the IMPORTANCE of knowing our lineage and where we come from. That way, we won’t have ignorant young punks like some of these fools making comments that don’t know shit! *That’s my RANT, I don’t give a DAMN who don’t like it* 😀

  You wrote everything that needed to be said. THANK YOU!

  I was a grown ass woman when Aliyah died, and I cried because I knew we had lost a legend too soon. That movie did no justice to this young woman. None at all. The movie should have been stopped when they found out they were not going to be able to use any of her music and when the family objected. Zendaya pulled out of the movie when she found out because she got it. How can you have a movie about Aliyah and not have her music? If you’re going to have a movie about an singer then the soundtrack should be on sale the next day. This movie had no soundtrack. How is that OK? This movie was crap.
  
  Azur
  
  You are sooooo right. The movie should move people to want to go buy the album.
  
  When i saw Coldminers Daughter, I downloaded not only Loretta Lynn’s music but also Sissy Spacek’s covers to her music. They both sounded great.
  
  When I saw my now favorite movie next to CMD, Lady Sings the Blues, I bought the soundtrack, and Diana Ross’s live version of the soundtrack, and a s&*%load of Billy Holiday’s music. Those movies are real biopics.

  GOOD? Whoever thinks it was good must’ve been watching the TLC movie. The actress playing Aaliyah was horrible and CANNOT sing or dance. In addition, she didn’t have any confidence or Swag. Two things that oozed from Aaliyah in every performance and interview. All the acting was dry. Except for the mom and brother NONE of it was believable. People need to keep it
- Summer P
  
  It was not good. As a person who followed from start and loved Missy Tim and RKelly this was horrible casting. Yhe girl that played her was ok. But Kelz, Missy, And Tim even Dam are still too relevant now for them to half step on their casting. It didnt make it believable. And the fact that they couldnt use her music made it even worse. I was totally out of tge story when I looked at Kelz

  Garbage
- ChelseyRai S Standberry
  
  They played none of her music, showed none of her dance moves, what the hell was the point of making the movie???? We didn´t need to hear about every detail of her love life, we wanted to relive and see her talented work that we all miss!!!!!

  Flop all the way til beginning to end of the movie!! Wrong cast all the way!!

  People are only hating on this movie because Wendy Williams produced it. To keep going on and on about it like little children is ridiculous. People just enjoy seeing Wendy so called “fail” at making this movie. Timbaland should have helped out since he was so close to Aaliyah so that this movie could have been a success instead of ranting and raving on Instagram like a cry baby. This is nothing but foolishness and childish behavior.
  
  versatile
  
  Nobody was thinking about Wendy Williams when we were struggling through that sh*t. The movie was just terrible. Why in hell they f*cked with Marvin Gaye’s song was unbelievable! The beat was ALL F*CKED UP! Now we WILL be thinking about Wendy tomorrow, waiting for her to explain all that hype.
  
  ISAIDIT!
  
  Well if they wanted to see that warthog fail,mission accomplished!
  
  Kary M.
  
  You know what’s f’ing childish is you missing the whole damn point! And that is HER FAMILY DID NOT APPROVE OF IT BEING MADE WITHOUT THEIR BLESSING! Don’t nobody give a damn about Wendell Williams, it’s all about respecting her family’s wishes. God forbid, if you ever have a child and that child dies and someone attempts to exploit your baby; THEN and only then can you form an opinion about this matter! Until then you need to STFU!

  No people aren’t hating on the movie simply because of Wendy’s involvement. I’m a huge Aaliyah fan and i tried to be objective…but the movie was straight garbage. 1) the movie was rushed to production. 2) the movie SHOULDN’T have been made without Aalyiah’s family involvement. 3) the didn’t have the license to use Aaliyah’s music – we didn’t hear ANY of her hits. 4) the casting was AWFUL. How the hell do you cast a skinny Missy and Timberland? Tim and Missy were eating good back in the 90’s. 5) the movie was inconsistent. Aaliyah was dating Dame Dash before and after filming Romeo Must Die. The movie eluded that they weren’t dating while filming that movie. 6) Missy and Tim did not want to assist with the movie because they were good friends to Aaliyah and Aaliyah’s family was not behind this movie. Why go against the family? Missy and Tim were close that is a fact. They were under no obligation to help out in any way with this movie. So him ranting and raving is not childish nor foolish.
  
  Bottomline…the movie was straight garbage.
  
  elleD.
  
  Incorrect. But it is ok to admit you are a fan of the wigged one and Wendy can do no wrong– if that is how you feel, get out your feelings. The movie Should NOT have been made, what part of that do you not understand?!

  Cheryl Prentice if her family did not support it, then I wouldn´t blame those artists close to her such as Timbaland or Dame Dash for not supporting the production. When her family refused to have song rights released then the producers should have taken several seats and just left it alone!!!

  No…they didn’t pay homage to Aaliyah in the proper light. The family wasn’t involved and didn’t want this movie made AND they couldn’t even use her music in the movie. And we won’t even get on the casting choices.
  
  The actress portraying Aaliyah did the best she could…she bore a slight resemblance to Aaliyah. But the casting of R Kelley, Missy and Tim. Missy and Tim were eating good back in the 90’s and they chose to cast 2 skinny actors to portray them.

  This movie was trash… 10% of everyone ain´t tripping.. Look how everyone is acting.. Smh this was about money not her legacy.. And anyone who would be a part of it deserves the criticism.. It´s was suppose to be about her career and the lives she touched.. Instead it was about and R.kelly for a hour and 30 mins of bullshit singing with no Aaliyah songs and 30 min of her relationship with Dame..

  We didn’t separate ourselves ‘voluntarily’ but we stand out because we are more vocal than most and bring more attention to things ‘mainstream’ media will ignore (i.e. Mike Brown). We are already separated because of color whether we want to or not, but the online unity shows how powerful Black influence can be and large corporations and news organizations pay attention to what’s trending because of ‘us.’ It’s actually a good thing.

  It´s not that the movie sucked… there really is no story to tell. She didn´t go from poverty to the red carpet… she didn´t spend her every waking moment fucking up & being posted in tabloids every day… she only had a 7 year career. Maybe her family didn´t want a movie because there was “nothing to say”
  It´s not like Whitney, who has almost 25 years of career to put into a movie. Or Tina Turner who had the career, the very public troubled marriage.
  Ok so the actors who played Tim & Missy didn´t look like them… who cares!? The movie wasn´t about them!! Name a plus size black actress that looks like Missy. Yea, didn´t think so.
  They didn´t dwell on the R.Kelly marriage, so it´s not like the entire movie was about a RUMORED marriage either. It was mentioned & then they moved on
  
  Reading Is FUNdamental
  
  There was a story to tell…it just wasn’t this suck azz story. So what she only had a 7 year career? Why does that even matter. A movie was made about Selena’s life/career…and if I’m not mistaken Selena’s career spanned the same amount of time as Aaliyah’s.
  As for your point regarding a plus sized actress to play Missy…it’s moot. Hell they could’ve gotten Kelly Price to play Missy and it would’ve been more believable.
  Also they point about dwelling on the R Kelly marriage. They DID dwell on it…for almost 45 minutes they dwelled on how the relationship started and progressed. It wasn’t "just mentioned." Hell we even saw Aaliyah’s dad almost come to blows when the parents found out about the marriage. So it wasn’t just mentioned and moved on…
  
  At the time of her death Aaliya was in the middle of filming Queen of the Damned and she was slated to do an album with Janet Jackson. So please don’t sit here and act like she didn’t have an impressive career for her albeit 22 years that she walked this earth…

  Aaliyah was criticised herself for doing Romeo Must Die because her “love interest” wasn´t black, but oh wait… y´all are some “real” Aaliyah fans so you would know that. Aaliyah wasn´t about hate & she wasn´t about being rejected, she had a good heart… she would have acknowledged Alexandrias effort & the little time she had to prepare. Who wouldn´t jump at the chance to go to work & pretend to be their idol or someone their parents idolized. At least appreciate a young girl, a young black girl trying to break her way into movies… we don´t have many, to this day they can be counted on ONE hand & when a young girl does decide to try & make it big she is criticised.

  In Exodus 20:12 (KJ21) | 12 “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
  
  For a child to outright say "I hate you both to their face, was a complete dishonor.
  
  The overall movie and script was made in poor taste. The story line was not detailed;too many gaps. The, actors that took on the parts of Missy E., Timbaland and Damon Dash were mis cast, they did not live up to their parts..
  There was so much information left out of the movie. I believe this movie should have never been made. If you don’t have cooperation from someone that was truly close to that person with detailed information.you should Leave it alone. This movie was a disservice to the memory of Aaliyah and her family. Not only was the script poorly written, the movie was poorly written, and cheaply made.

  The bible also says not to gossip and you’re on a gossip site with the rest of us .Hypocrite . By the way they should cast an unknown for the theater biopic of Aaliyah . B Simone is the one they are saying will play Aaliyah ,but B Simone can’t dance . She is so stiff. They need to recast .

  When they couldn’t get the music, they should have scrapped the movie. That little girl couldn’t act or sing. Her manager should be fired (with a gun). I’m done and embarrassed for her and her family.

  I was almost old enough to be Aaliyah’s mother and sorry, wasn’t a fan. She was no Whitney or Mariah. Was she beautiful, yes but beauty isn’t talent. She was fortunate enough to be on the cusp of the marriage between R&B and hip-hop. Was she a great person? Couldn’t tell you because I didn’t know her, neither did her fans. They only knew her persona not behind closed doors.

  uuuumm not what I expected I was a fan of this Idol performer I even dress like her tom boyish baggy clothes like Total Xscape and Jade growing up before she even came out. I don’t know her but I from VA where Missy and Timbaland and Magoo is from those actors wouldn’t have made it in my line up that they selected for this Lifetime movie.I can see why the super friends all the folks on the label with Tim and Missy wasn’t feeling it. The Aaliyah person did resemble her sort of. R Kelly person didn’t look like him either. it wasn’t the worst but Its wasn’t the Best either. It wasn’t time for this movie now my children didn’t even want to watch it with me should have been made with time and grace and proper look a like casting. it was decent but not what I excepted really. we need a resolution to this movie. the part concerning the marriage was accurate EVEN IN THE TABLOID IT was skim over cause they didn’t want that man lock up. I think it wasn’t time yet that’s all to be making this movie. Now I see why the family objected to it. If it was my daughter I would feel some kind of way too. don’t just piece something together like this she was what I would classify as a great young performer you know biker suits and relatable to young ladies as myself growing up in America not wanting to be classified in a box or like other ladies that where out, RIP to her thought still enjoy rock the boat and her other hits also, personally I would have at least would have cast actors that look like the supporting characters though even if I didn’t have consent to use her music or support from her family. Like they always say it is what it is. And I enjoyed Bobby and Whitney’s movie a lot better. I didn’t find it disrespectful it only grazed over her and his drug issue. They could have went there though but didn’t especially about hitting the Marta Atlanta transit buses and trashed out hotel rooms supposedly where they where partying at and stuff when they live in Georgia.
