Aaliyah: "What Child Is This"

I found this video clip on Mes Deux Cents blog earlier this morning. Aaliyah sang "What Child Is This" live for the White House holiday concert during the Clinton's presidency in 1997. It was said that Bill Clinton specifically asked for her to perform, as she was his favorite artist at the time. I never saw a clip of him saying that or anything, but that's the standing rumor.

In any case, this was 10 years ago. And as most everyone has heard by now, Aaliyah died tragically 4 years later (2 weeks before 9-11) in a small plane crash in Abaco, Bahamas. Here is the video of her singing at the holiday concert.
