AALIYAHS' FINAL MASTERPIECE

C. Brown | Santa Maria, Ca United States | 09/03/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Aaliyah's newest and ( unfortunately ) final CD is the best I've heard from her. She declares her independence, her rights and freedom as a woman. Move over Alica Keys ( I like you a lot too...but I love Aaliyah). She mixes soothings sounds of soul, funk, R&B , and a surprising twist of rock. This CD may not appeal to all, especially those who are expecting the amazing beats produced in her previous songs including the smash hit " Are YOu That Somebody ? " or " Try Again !", none the less.......this is one amazing CD. It's got a song for every mood and sound for every flavor. Any fan of Aaliyah should appreciate this collection of songs. This CD is truly remarkable. I'd give it an 11, but I can only choose 5 stars. Aaliyah definitely grew up, and this CD shows just how much."

An excellent marketing idea...and a great way to remember...

"If you plan to purchase her new CD and own a DVD player, I highly recommend this version of Aaliyah's latest and now final work. The music on disc one builds upon her previous efforts while maintaining a level of originality in the hip-hop/r&b idiom that eclipses most of her peers. The level of personal growth led one to expect perhaps even better music to come in future years had she not died tragically--fans are now deprived of a resolution to this quite bold, seemingly transitional album. The selling point here is that for roughly an extra $10 you get a bonus DVD with four videos: ONE IN A MILLION, ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY, TRY AGAIN (a great track that I wish were on the new CD), and WE NEED A RESOLUTION. There is also an intro by Aaliyah and behind-the-scenes footage. This combination of music and video I find is the best way to remember her musical talent, beauty, and charisma."

WHat A Cd. A LiFE cut short so sad! rip

"First off I just want to say how much Aaliyah inspired the whole music world. She got me into music with the song "Are You That Somebody?" and kept me going with her two past albums and various soundtracks she did. Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack was my first CD ever, I wanted it so bad just for that one song. Bless you Aaliyah you are greatly missed!Now to the review:

The CD: The absolute best CD I have ever heard IN MY LIFE!! (No joke) Every song is a five star. All could be singles and be on the radio, but here's the highlights on the CD, in order:4. More Than A Woman - My 2nd favorite song ever (Next to "Are You That Somebody?") This song needs to be a single, I think they may have shot the video already before the tradegy happend.
We'll have to see, Rock The Boat is her single right now.1. We Need A Resolution - Has that foreign sound that's hot right now. She was the first person to hit on the sound, Mandy Moore and Shakira hit it big with there songs like that. Features Timbaland. The video is hot for this song.3. Rock The Boat - Current single, the video makes me happy and extremely sad at the same time. Bitter sweet. Great song, better than any Pop/R&B/Hip-hop/Rock/Punk . . . well you get the picture.2. Loose Rap - Aaliyah is one for forgiving as you can hear from this song. and Try Again. This song is about if your game is not hot she'll still give you a try to see if you have other stuff to offer like a sense of humor. A+ song.THE DVD: Shows 4 of her favorite music videos (Try Again, We Need A Resolution, One In A Million, and Are You That Somebody?) Backstage of the "We Need A Resolution" Video, Her describing each song and what it means to her. She teaches you her signature dance move she uses in most of her videos. A cool animated opening. A bunch more, all packed into one DVD.OVERALL: No one, and I mean NO ONE can't have this in collection and still call themselves a music fan. THIS IS THE BEST CD EVER!!!!"

Bonus DVD!

"When I first did my review of this album they didnt have the version i had with the dvd. Now they have it I will review it.
If you want my review of the cd go to the regular version of the cd cus this is for the DVD review.
It starts off with an intro from AAliyah herself which is a special bonus. Then it gets into her favorite videos. The videos Are You That somebody, One In A Million, Try Again, and We Need A Resolution. Whoever thought of this playlist is the genius of the century. All her best songs in video form! The only gripe is that it could have featured more videos like At Your Best rmx, Hot Like Fire rmx, and Age Aint Nothing But a Number. but it is all good because i am thankful for the ones i got. I hope they will come out with a DVD with all her videos on it.... Then after this is a behind the scenes stuff about the making of the album, explanation of some of the songs, making the video We need a resolution which is more special extras.If you have the extra money DEFINITELY pick this up before they go out of stock.
RIP Aaliyah Dana Haughton-- Jan. 16 1979- Aug. 25 2001"
