Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B (2014)

This Lifetime unauthorized TV biopic is condemned by Aaliyah's family and fails as a tribute, earning a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 17%. It features none of her original music—an omission that completely voids its authenticity—and casts an actress bearing little resemblance to the singer. This ranks as a bigger disaster than #10's *I Wanna Dance with Somebody* because the total copyright vacuum outpaces that film's mere narrative shortcuts in terms of outright neglect. With zero licensed tracks and a reported production budget of under $2 million, the film appears cheaper than the typical televised biopic, yet delivers none of the emotional weight.
