Keshia Chante To Play Aaliyah

December 17th, 2008

You may have heard rumours earlier in the year about Keshia Chante being cast to play Aaliyah in a biopic. Well, we just got an email from ‘Young Stun’ who just heard Keshia confirm the rumours on radio station Hot 97 in NYC! So, there you have it. You know… I see the similarities, so with some good make-up and wardrobe, she’ll have the look - but can she pull off the role? I guess we’ll see!

For now, check out this YouTube comparison video:

Wow, I can really see the resemblance now! My opinion is that she will do a good job! I think this will help out Keshia to be well known throughout the States.

She does not look enough like Aaliyah to play her.Lisa Tucker looks more like Aaliyah.There is also a theater actress named Lujza Abylane who looks so much like Aaliyah.Search for her pix.You will Not believe it!!!!!!!!!.They should have an open casting call like they did with the movie Selena. Kesha is cute,Aaliyah was sexy.Big difference…
