Teyanna Taylor - Teyana Taylor had Aaliyah posters all over her wall growing up and sang a few of the Princess of R&B's songs in her efforts to get signed. Not stopping there, once she hit it big, she's even done several Aaliyah tributes during her shows and performed some of her classic material.(Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)
Zendaya - Zendaya studied Aaliyah's movies to a T and the singing/ dancing/acting vixen was even up for the role to portray Baby Girl in the Lifetime biopic but stepped down because Aaliyah's family and friends weren't on board. (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Hollister)Brandy - We just wanted to be down when she released her self-titled debut album. Then we wanted to be her when she landed a role in the teenage thriller I Still Know What You Did Last Summer alongside Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now we're just in love with her as Chardonnay in BET's hit series The Game. #Glowraay  (Photo: Brad Barket/BET/Getty Images for BET)
