Williams Auditorium featuring Queen Latifah and Zhane. Even though the concert began 45 minutes late, it was still a big success. The concert began with Zhane, two hot young singers who met while attending Pennsylvania's Temple University. A combination of the singers names Zhena and Rene yielded the groups name. Zhane gave the audience a taste of their album, which has now gone platinum. While most people wanted to see Queen Latifah, some people enjoyed the sounds of Zhane. “Listening and watching Zhane perform, made me want to buy their CD,” said LaShele Lawson, a junior Computer Science major. “Although 1 don’t care for rap. Queen Latifah performed well also.” The star of the night, Queen Latifah, was dressed in baggy blue jean overalls, a white shirt and a blue jean vest. She performed songs from all of her albums. When she got to her latest albums, she sang “ Winki's Theme” which represents the dark side of her life, after her brother died in a motorcycle accident. She wears the key to the motorcycle around her neck. Queen Latifah ended the concert with a message to everyone. UNITY, was her message.
