^We'll have to agree to disagree. I strongly dislike the album version.

Lol did you just call the Timbaland mix 'superior'? 'Cause I f**ked up my ranking on this one because of the Timbaland mix. The album version of 'Hot Like Fire' is a lot better, and if I'd done my due diligence and listened to that as well, this would've been higher on my list. The Timbaland mix may as well have ended after the second verse/chorus 'cause it gets boring and repetitive af after that. This ain't it.

I definitely ranked this song too high at 20 but tbh it was more because this song and "Back and Forth" were probably the two songs I remembered most from her when I was younger. Also I never really gave R. Kelly a thought when ranking these songs, which if I had would have definitely moved some songs much lower. I just hope people don't tank B&F because of him because that is one of her best songs and deserves Top 5!

I was obsessed with this in the summer of 2000! Those were the days of having to record your songs off of the radio with a boombox.

I heard this on the radio so much back in 2000. I thought it was a Destinyβs Child track because of her cadence. smh. Then I borrowed the RMD sdtk and my mind was blown that it was Aaliyah.

The midpoint is also the highest standard deviation, which seems appropriate. It also has a 36 point gap above "I Don't Wanna" so it wasn't even close

So if I were in charge of making a budget collection Playlist: The Very Best of Aaliyah, our top 12 would be it:
Back & Forth At Your Best (You Are Love) If Your Girl Only Knew One In a Million 4 Page Letter Are You That Somebody? Try Again We Need a Resolution More Than a Woman Rock The Boat I Care 4 U Miss You

I guess I'm okay with this leaving now (based on some prior comments in-thread I could sense it was coming any time now). Aaliyah isn't the type of artist to go for the big belted vocal style (I'm basing this on everything I've heard for this rankdown lol) but I appreciate that this song shows that she could go the big voice route if she so chose to.
