KEISHA CHANTE TO PORTRAY AALIYAH IN NEW BIOPIC

According to online reports and bloggers, R&B singer Keisha Chante is said to portray the late Aaliyah in a upcoming 2009 biopic.

Previously Meagan Good and dancer Destiny Lightsy (see photos here) have campaign to play Aaliyah. Keisha does look like Aaliyah but hopefully she pulled it off just like Angela Bassett's effortless portrayal of Tina Turner. Are you looking forward to Aaliyah film or not?

Aaliyah was also so mysterious. The role would be hard to play. I also hope the film doesn't focus too much on her personal life (i.e. The R. Kelly drama). I just hope this movie turns out alright because Aaliyah fans will be upset!

There have been rumors circulating for years, as I've heard the Keshia rumor before. I would love an Aaliyah movie! I hope that this is fact and not fiction, and you're right, Chi-Chi, I will be upset if they don't the movie/Aaliyah justice!

Keshia looks similar. The face shape is exact but the nose is really different. I can't wait for this movie. It's gonna "Rock the Boat" for sure.
