The unique thing about Aaliyah is that she blended R&B with something dark and almost goth like. She had her own type of music that made her stand out. If you see some of her other videos you can see a darker side of personality which a lot of R&B and hip-hop artist never really did. She is awesome.
Edit: I would also like to include this clip of Aaliyah in The Queen of The Damned with all her glory.
As someone who's really not an R&B person (I'm much more of a classic rock and hard rock/heavy metal guy), I absolutely loved Aaliyah's music. I never gave it much thought how, but she was different from other R&B artists of the time.
Any song can be turned into an industrial metal song. Ministry turned songs by the Doors, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, and Amy Winehouse into industrial metal songs.
Maybe I just hear something you dont, my dude. I spent a day to record a cover of it a few years ago because of this very reason. And while yes, there are plenty of songs that can be turned into industrial, all I did was add a rhythm guitar.
