Have anyone seen Aaliyah's new video? I just love it. I think the name of it is "I Miss You." She is missed so much by so many of us.

yea i saw it. I thought it was a good tribute to her.

I actually really really hated that video. Its seemed to me like "Oh let's get as many famous black people together as we can and have them gaze at the camera (half of who I think haven"t even been close with Alliyah)." I don't know it just pissed me off.

Yelena, Missy Elliot was the one that was so close to Aaliyah, and she was the one that organized the other singers for the video, only for a tribute. As you say, all of them were not close to Aaliyah, but they were doing it because of Missy. I think they felt like one of their own (singers) was gone, whether they knew her or not. It touched me dearly, and I've never met her, but if I could have been in the video, I would have. It's just a feeling that I can't explain, that make people want to get involved.

The people in the video probably felt like we do on answerpool. We've never met, but we are willing to lend each other a hand.

I don't understand why you were pissed, but I 'can' understand why you didn't like it, because there are different strokes for different folks.
