Hello, I'm Gail Nobles. Do you ever go back and stop and listen
to how Aliah sang the National Anthem at age sixteen? I listened to her
sing it and heard a much bigger voice. She sang the National Anthem with
no music. A Leiah sang the song so well without music that I could
sense it with her voice. She was really singing out strong to the crowd
when a Leiah was singing the song she sang on all of her albums.
I knew she had a voice. I knew that there was more, but
because of a style of the songs and music, she didn't use her voice
like she could have. Hearing her sing the National Anthem told me that Aliah
could sing. I always believed she could do a lot more with her voice.
If you have heard Aliah when she was a little girl on Star Search,
you know I'm telling the truth. She was an awesome singer then at
a very very young age, and she never stopped singing. I'm Gail Nobles,
and you're listening to a podcast about the Princess of r and b Ahliah
