Damn, Teyana “kilt” it.
It was announced earlier this week that Disney starlet Zendaya Coleman was chosen to play Aaliyah in the Lifetime Network biopic, and well, the music world’s been divided ever since.
Both fans and critics have been uncertain of Zendaya’s ability to off the role as the late great R&B singer. Obviously, none of that matters, because the ink on Zendaya’s contract is now dry.
Unbeknownst to most of the world, the “Maybe” songstress auditioned for the role, but when she learned Aaliyah’s family wouldn’t be involved in making the film she decided to back out.
Teyana’s friend, however, decided to post a few videos of Teyana’s audition tapes. TyroneBee posted on Instagram:
“I know Teyana is gona be mad at me for posting her audition clips but i honestly feel no one deserves this role more then her . She embraces Aaliyah dancing , acting and singing. (Which I’ll be posting all 3parts) but unfortunately @teyanataylor heard that Aaliyah’s family isn’t involved & she no longer wanted to be apart of the film. Here’s part 1 The dancing .”
Check out the dancing portion of Teyana audition above, and the acting and vocal portion below. Let us know what you think!
