I think the folks saying Aaliyah was 5'7" are about right. She was taller than 5'5". Granted, she had a long and lean look, so that could increase her perceived height. Taller than 5'5", though. shquetta says on 17/Sep/08
she is 5'7 because see how she stands next to beyonce who is 5'6 but beyonce weight like 20 pounds more than aaliyah aan how shes taller than jet li adn almost up dare wit damon and r kelly she is preety tall

she is a full 5'7.5" b'cos i met her at a concert in 2000 and she was nearly my cousin's height who is 5'8" diana says on 27/May/08
yeah she's def. not 5'7 . i saw her on a jay leno interview and i was shocked how much smaller than him she was. Lucky her, all her height went to her legs so she looked taller than she was... JokeMaster says on 6/Apr/08

A 5'3" woman can never look 5'7", unless they are wearing MASSIVE heels. Jada says on 22/Jan/08
She looked tall because she has a long torso and was thin, but Aaliyah was no more than 5'3." I worked with her several times and she was a petite little thing. Missy Elliot is short 5'0" I believe. So, with heels, Aaliyah would tower over her. Arekah says on 19/Jan/08
I was one of Aaliyah's tour dancers, and I'm 5"9'...she was 5"8 even with no shoes on C. says on 10/Jan/08
If I can recall she was taller than Jet Li in "Romeo Must Die", NOT shorter. Because people kept on talking about that. And with Beyonce, both of them were wearing heels around the same size and Aaliyah was still taller. If Beyonce is listed at over 5'6", there's no way Aaliyah is 5'5".
As for these 5'2", 5'3" claims, you must be having delusions. The woman never looked petite in height. Maybe in body frame, but that's a completely different thing altogether. Back when she started out with Missy and the whole crew, she really towered over Missy, and wasn't that much shorter than Ginuwine.
Timbo must wear lifts now, but not in the past. Because back then he was around Aaliyah's height. The 5'7" now makes sense. mo says on 30/Dec/07
no, i dont think she was very short. I have her dance tapes with fatima and shes pretty tall. I think 5'7 is right cause fatima is 5'8 or 5'9 and she looks very close to her height. Even in videos she doesn't look short. U can tell in the legs if she was 5'2. Suma says on 27/Dec/07
It's really horrible how such a talent left so early. But, in most of her videos with Tim, seems like she was close to his height. Maybe it's just my imagination, though. MichaelJanetandAaliyahfan says on 4/Apr/07
Here is a video of Aaliyah in bare foot dancing with Missy Lil Kim and Da Brat
Click Here she isn't standing up straight but she towers over Missy and Kim Jesse says on 7/Feb/06
There's a scene in Romeo Must Die where Jet Li and Aaliyah enter some sort of garage right before getting shot at. There's a full body shot of both Aaliyah and Jet Li including feet and Aaliyah looks to be about the same height as Jet Li. I can't remember if she was wearing heels in that scene, but if Jet Li's 5'6 and she was only his height then she can't be any taller than 5'6. Ravey says on 9/Oct/05
She looks 5`7 1/2 to me cause remember back in the day she was always right up there with R kelly Anonymous says on 28/Jun/05
I saw her in person and she was barely my height and I am 5'3. J. says on 12/Mar/05
Hmm .. she's tricky. In photos with beau Damon Dash who is 5'10", 5'11"-ish, she does look 5'7". But I found a really good site with all types of rare photos of her. One has Beyonce and her standing face to face and they do look the same height. Plus photos with 5-foot-1 Lisa "Left Eye Lopes", 5-foot-1 Missy Elliott and 4-foot-11 Lil' Kim all do prove that she CLOSE to 5'7" but not on the dot. She was extremely thin which made her seem taller. I think she was 5'6" and some change. |
