Lifetime’s Aaliyah Biopic: Honor or Disgrace?

Like many this weekend, I watched the Aaliyah biopic on Lifetime.  I don't know which was the bigger tragedy between her untimely death and this movie. 

For starters, the casting was HORRIBLE!  I sat on the edge of my seat as each character was unveiled, waiting to see how hard I would laugh at the contrast between the person they were supposed to be.  Social media didn't make it any better.  The memes had me in tears!  (And when I saw this morning that Timbaland himself posted one, I was through!)

Secondarily, the music SUCKED!!! The "Aaliyah" songs sounded like the girl casted as her actually sung them herself.  I understand that they had no rights to Aaliyah's recordings, but could they not have found someone better to sing her songs?

Sadly, during this movie, we saw numerous commercials indicating that more biopics are in the works.  I'm not looking forward to watching any of them as a tribute.  In fact, if I do watch them, it will be for comedic purposes.

What's your take? I know Lifetime is doing more to incorporate Black women in their programming, but are they doing enough to make us feel welcome, or do you think they're just "throwing something together" to make us feel like they really want us?
