	East West Magazine - Video's Music Man: Aamer Haleem
		Haleem describes himself as the typical class clown, and says that if anyone were to know the truth about him as a kid, it would be his older sister.
		Haleem spent a lot of time “getting into trouble and trying to cover up the fact that (he) got in trouble,” and quickly gained a reputation as a bit of a talker.
		Haleem’s life of asking the right questions of the right people is far from over, and his routine of “go to airport, get boarding pass, fly for six hours, go for wardrobe fitting and go to hotel to interview Prince,” is something he’s not willing to give up, at least not yet.

		EST (subsequent episodes air every weeknight for two weeks), finds VH1's Aamer Haleem tracking down members of beloved bands and attempting to convince them to get back on stage for one night to play a concert for their fans.
		Haleem actually ambushes his subjects, tracking them down one-by-one at home and at work.
		Haleem surprises a stunned Crawford at work -- it is so funny to see the guy who performed the scandalous "Sex, I'm A..." with sexy Nunn wearing spectacles and a polo shirt -- and asks him if he'll reunite with his former band members.

	Bands on the run - Salon
		Another thing Michaels couldn't possibly have known at the time: Nearly three decades later, producers who probably hadn't even been born yet in 1976 would be making riveting television by doing essentially the very same thing: VH1's new "Bands Reunited" debuted on Jan. 19, and it is, without a doubt, the greatest show on earth.
		One-time Vancouver VJ Aamer Haleem does the hosting honors, a position that demands a high degree of both music-industry knowledge and diplomacy.
		To the fellow's credit, though, he decides to let bygones be bygones and breaks down and weeps only three or four times in the course of the culminating live performance.

	VH1 gives '80s bands an encore - The Boston Globe
		Each of the 10 episodes features host Aamer Haleem, who has the personality of a well-oiled door hinge and who freely drops phrases such as "In the house," stalking members of 1980s bands from the back of a minivan.
		Most of the recovering rockers react as if Haleem is from the FBI, but are happy to be released from the cubicle farm for one more night in the spotlight.
		Once enough members of a band have been tracked down and signed on to the reunion, they have just a day or two to rehearse and reconnect before the big concert.

	The Chronicle-www.HofstraChronicle.com-Keeping Hofstra University Informed with News, Sports, Features, Entertainment ...
		Just when you thought VH1 had completely transformed into the next E! channel, they detoured back to their roots with the runaway hit "Bands Reunited." VH1 just aired its second season of "Bands Reunited" this past week, after the first season (which aired this past January) was a much bigger success than anticipated.
		The series revolves around host Aamer Haleem flying all around the world to track down the former band mates (of bands that had broken up), and convince them to participate in a one night only reunion concert with their old bandmates.
		A key to the success of the series was the persistence and enthusiasm of host Aamer Haleem, who made an extremely difficult job seem effortless.

	Crosstalk: The VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown \| The A.V. Club
		Noel Murray: First off, I've got to say that as much as I like Aamer Haleem as a host, his little bridging segments at Medieval Times are too PM Magazine, circa 1986.
		Which gives a chance to talk about the videos that Haleem assures us are hovering "just below the countdown," using whatever arcane procedures VH1 uses to figure these things out.
		Mainly that it's time for Aamer Haleem to say goodbye to the Society For Creative Anachronism and get back to finding out whatever happened to The Blow Monkeys.

		Hosted by Aamer Haleem, the show documented the attempted reuniting of a formerly-popular musical ensemble for a special concert in either London or Los Angeles.

		In 2005, VH1 attempted to get the British band The Smiths back together, but the show abandoned its attempt after its host Aamer Haleem was unsuccessful in his attempt to corner Morrissey before a show.

		The other members who were asked to participate, Paul Robb, James Cassidy, and Amanda Kramer, all agreed to the performance but later decided unanimously that it was inappropriate to perform without Harland present (VH1 2004).
		While greeting the band members, host Aamer Haleem acted as though he expected Kurt Harland to show up at any minute, despite the lack of any formal commitment from Harland to participate.
		In an account of the incident written by Harland and available on his website, Harland disputes VH1's depiction of the events, claiming that the show was edited to make it look as if he had accepted the invitation and then backed out of it.

		The premise of VH-1's series is simple enough to explain in a ten-second spot: host Aamer Haleem tracks down members of defunct 80's groups and wheedles 'em into reforming for a one-night gig at the Whisky A Go-Go.
		As Haleem tracks down the group members, we're also treated to a history of the group, the factors that led to its success and dissolution.
		With Romeo Void, two themes keep re-emerging: the usual story of internecine jealousy over the group frontperson receiving most of the attention - plus the record label's inability to support a band whose lead femme singer was plus-sized.
