Fun fact: Giving up was meant for the sparkle soundtrack which Aaliyah was ALSO going to star in but due to her unexpected death the song was never released and the movie was later on pushed back to 2012.

U know you can SANG when you stay in basically a 2 vocal octave range the whole time, without having to belt into the end of the 5th octave and still manage to snatch every singe last hair follicle, and makin it sound like you covered the whole 5th octave.

I gotta admit though, whenever I listen to it, I tend to think about what Sparkle could've been had things been different 😔

4:52 I just love her transitions, it's what made her always stood out for me. I can tell she loved doing that. It was like her secret weapon 😍

[SirDave]

YESSSS, U will not snatch me at this time of the DAY!!!

I don't know for sure but at 3:17 I hear a brief G6 on the snare...
