Just days ago it was confirmed that Zandaya Coleman had pulled out of the upcoming Lifetime movie ‘Aaliyah: Princess of R&B’ and that production of the bio-pic would be put on hold until a new leading lady could be found.
Well in just a few short days later it is now being reported that a replacement has been found she is a quite stunning up and comer who is a dead ringer for the ‘One In A Million’ songstress. According to reports from Mstarz:

“Lifetime may have already found a replacement for their upcoming Aaliyah film in a relatively unknown new talent. Erika Perry, a 20-year-old Atlanta-native performed with her sisters as part of the group Amor Kismet at the BET Experience on Saturday. Although Zendaya’s departure wasn’t announced yet, Lifetime execs were already in the know and scoped out Perry’s performance. So impressed with her talent and likeness to Aaliyah, they immediately set up additional meetings for Perry that weekend in Los Angeles. Things are expected to move even faster this week to keep production on schedule.”

Although Lifetime has not released an official statement confirming this, we have to say based on looks alone we are sold! It’s almost scary how much she favors Aaliyah! No word on her acting ability but check out her vocal skills below!
