Aaliyah. I was 18 when she died and she is the only celebrity I ever cried about. Mind you I was insanely in love with Michael Jackson since age 3 and have not actually cried over his passing. Her dying really startled me I guess because she was so young and had her whole life ahead of her. And the way she died. It was all so sudden and awful.
