Hello, I'm Gail Nobles. Do
you ever go back and stop and listen

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:14.400
to how Aliah sang the National Anthem
at age sixteen? I listened to her

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:21.280
sing it and heard a much bigger
voice. She sang the National Anthem with

4
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:28.199
no music. A Leiah sang the
song so well without music that I could

5
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:35.600
sense it with her voice. She
was really singing out strong to the crowd

6
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:42.640
when a Leiah was singing the song
she sang on all of her albums.

7
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:49.479
I knew she had a voice.
I knew that there was more, but

8
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.119
because of a style of the songs
and music, she didn't use her voice

9
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.479
like she could have. Hearing her
sing the National Anthem told me that Aliah

10
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:11.200
could sing. I always believed she
could do a lot more with her voice.

11
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.760
If you have heard Aliah when she
was a little girl on Star Search,

12
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:23.079
you know I'm telling the truth.
She was an awesome singer then at

13
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:30.879
a very very young age, and
she never stopped singing. I'm Gail Nobles,

14
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:41.079
and you're listening to a podcast about
the Princess of r and b Ahliah
