The
newly released "Romeo Must Die "soundtrack made its debut at the HMV
Music Store on 42nd Street, this past Wednesday. Hundreds of music fans
stood anxiously waiting for Jive recording artist Aaliyah to appear
and sign autographs. Aaliyah, the R&B recording artist returned with
a hardcore twist on the new movie soundtrack "Rome Must Die". Aaliyah
who came on the scene with her first album called "Back and Forth" in
1994. In 1997 she returned with her sophomore album and biggest hit
to date "One In Million". In 1998 she returned once again this time
with both the hottest video and song of 1998 "Are You That Somebody"
off the soundtrack of Eddie MurphyÕs "Doctor Dolittle. Aaliyah had become
a teenage legend in her own right.
So
it was no surprise when crowds of people were standing outside of HMV
waited anxiously for the arrival of the young superstar. However Aaliyah
still did not show for several hours and the staff of HMV tried desperately
to hype the restless crowd up. The impatience increased from the sun
began to set. When Aaliyah finally arrived, the crowdÕs frowns turned
into smiles, tears and cheers. Slowly but surely everyone had their
chance to get their various items signed by their favorite pop star.
The streets soon became flooded with the sounds of excitement as each
fan shouted their story of meeting the amazing singer and actress.
