‘Aaliyah’ Movie Flops on Social, But ‘Northpole’ Wins With Sappiness

By Karen Fratti 

While Lifetime’s “Aaliyah:Princess of R&B” premiere is in the top spot on the Nielsen Twitter ratings for Saturday, the chatter is full of nasty negativity. That was to be predicted.

Really, no one liked it. Maybe that’s because all the positive energy and cheerful vibes were over on the Hallmark Channel during “Northpole,” where America was collectively geeking out over Tiffany Amber Thiessen and Clementine the Elf. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

But it wasn’t just a win on the social cheese scale, the Hallmark Channel was also hosting gift giveaways and if you really want to get into Christmas in November, just check out their Pinterest page. It’s all about product, product, product. There is even a Baskin Robbins tie-in and an interactive game, so you can eat white chocolate ice cream and save Christmas, all at the same time.

I suppose there are worse things than wanting to hug elves, hang out with Baileee Madison and call things the #DeersEars. But I think I’d rather watch Vines of “Aaliyah” reactions myself.
