Hi Jesus,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
“Those Were the Days” showed Aaliyah in an unusually candid, nostalgic, and almost domestic light, which was rare for a major R&B star at the time—and especially rare for Aaliyah, who was famously private and carefully styled. This reel lets the guard down, presenting her as a real person among friends, not a constructed icon.
Critics noted that the song felt like a home-movie montage rather than a commercial release—casual footage, behind-the-scenes moments, laughter, downtime. This contrasted sharply with the highly controlled, stylized visuals typical of late-1990s/early-2000s R&B.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
