Beyond Chris Brown & Usher: Female Artists Inspired By Michael Jackson

Aaliyah

Aaliyah was one of the best movers of the 90s and early 2000s, and she has influences like Janet and MJ to thank for that. Aaliyah has been said to love the album, Thriller. Then again, who doesn’t? Thriller was not only an Aaliyah favorite, but her “Got to Give It Up” cover samples MJ’s “Billie Jean.” Yes, the song is a cover of the hit by Marvin Gaye and the video plays tribute to him but Aaliyah snuck in a sample from the other icon.
