HILL RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrTawnn]

No matter how great Lauryn is. I'm a huge fan, hands down. But her late(r) performances, including this one are just weak. She lost the subtle melody in her rap style and her voice sounds stressed. I mean not just a lil raspy, really stressed.

She should take a break and start finding herself again.

[shortyduwhop319]

@MrTawnn i think she was suffering emotional distress at that time. She has like a meltdowm/break down of some sort. She took a loooonng break for nearly 4 years. Hopefully shes got it together now.

[kristinkat]

All the bulls**t from all the posts aside (please!) Lauryn Hill can spit it like nothin, her voice is pure and one of the best on Earth, and she is one of the sexiest women in the world. I have a serious girl-crush.....and I'm a white chick!

[jsumudio]

The variety in this performance is amazing. It goes from hip-hop, to pop in the second verse, back to hip-hop, then to an almost reagee feel.

I love Lauryn Hill!

[sladonn636]

Her voice may not be all there, but she knows how to work a stage . . . "Oh, oh,oh oh-Oh, oh,oh, oh-Oh, oh, oh,oh...." One of the best performers I've ever seen. I love the way she has command of her band too. Awesome woman!!!

[passion4posh]

beyonces,alicias,amys,norahs 5 Grammys in a year blueprint!!!

[Butterlove777]

So amazing. So classic.

[jwings84]

WTF happened to her??

[bubbafluff21]

wow i got chills when she came out, she has so much more power in her voice, and she raspyness. I love how she was kinda singing the original rap lyrics. Rap now is wack!

[MEAMERIE]

She better incorporate Amerie's "1thing" in her performance! ight Lauryn!

[prangerslovex3]

wdf wrong with her singing voice

[clarksouter]

Unfortunately she is crazy and owes so many people money that have played with her over the years. Not a good person to work for!

[frasie71]

@clarksouter How would you kow this???

[clarksouter]

@frasie71 I am a pro musician and have two friends who have toured with her. That's how I know.

[frasie71]

@clarksouter That's strange though, because I know for a fact that she is still recieveing royalties from The Score and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; what other reason would she still be signed to Sony Records, and still recieveing advances from her lable? I work in the music publishing business, lol. But you never know, maybe it's just not enough to pay her debt.

[clarksouter]

@frasie71 One of the reason Mgmt gave one of my friends Forwithholding pay was a Several hundred thousand dollar bill for a private jet used on their European datesthat they needed to pay first. Typical overspending star story.

[clarksouter]

@bcblls Never heard a racist thing like he hates white people or anything like that. Just ego stuff.

[ldpoetess]

@clarksouter That was a media rumour. She was pro- black theres a difference x

[clarksouter]

@ldpoetess The comment prior to mine I was responding to and never heard she was racist. Although on the flip-side if you described someone as pro-white it sounds racist.................like pro-black............

[ldpoetess]

@clarksouter It may sound that way but it isnt the case. The majority of pro- black people believe in the empowerment and uplifting of black people- without putting down other races. Pro-whiteness has been about suppressing other races and supremacy. There is a difference. She just sang/rapped about issues that affected black people- it didnt mean her audience was limited or her intentions were for black people only.

[lafemmenaturalle]

@clarksouter

i keep hearing that. i heard she had a nervious breakdown and is now mentally unstable.

[mizshysinger]

@lafemmenaturalle DON'T WORRY.... saw her in Toronto the other day... I was front row and Lauryn is happy and healthy and beautiful as ever. Remember the higher you go the further you fall.. she had to go through that to find a happy medium.

[andarau1]

a mina é fodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!

[KOOKEETHEQUEEN]

she mixed amerie in it

[bulentersoyonline]

She always struggled with this song even back in the day. it's hard 2 rap harsh then sing well so quickly. Look at her in 1998 it still wasn't perfectly performed then.

[braziobrocka]

too much was going on in this performance...too much band...to many songs...lol lots of confusion, just a mess but i love me some Lauren

[lockstam]

love her and this song, but in the beginning she didn't sound too good...

[ladyjmk20]

WHATS MOBO AWARDS ??

[Jeffvicesouz]

Canta muito.

[dlightlove]

[dlightlove]

im a spanish guy and i can´t tell you how much lauryn hill has an impact on me

[thuginpurple]

I love her but what happened 2 her voice?

:(

[MTRSWK]

SHe need to come out with another Album

ii love her

[lapinuzza]

è uno dei più forti in cui si vede la forza e l'energia di un a rtista come lauryn...peccato che si dice che ora stia impazzendo....

[beyoncestillsucksazz]

This is "REAL" hiphop.

[SexxiMichaela]

bitch shut the fuck up! khia is REAL hip hop not this shit from this hasbeen. lauryn crackhead hill stole khias style swagger and lyrics. that hoe is lame!

[beyoncestillsucksazz]

Hmmmm lets see bitch, Mz.Hill has won how many awards?? Shes has sold how many cdz??? How many tours has she been on?? Who broke the record with most grammys as a FEMALE singer?? Was it KHIA?? Oh, i think not BITCH!!!

[SexxiMichaela]

Khia is to hood for those lame ass awards bitch thats why all the real niggas and bitches respect her and not lauryn hill bitch you just mad cuz u know khia is better than lauryn hill. watch the bitch khia would eat that ass up in a rap battle!

[MissLadyFIERCE]

SexxiMichaela (2 hours ago)Khia is to hood for those lame ass awards bitch thats why all the real niggas and bitches respect her and not lauryn hill

------------------------------­---------------

So many fucking things wrong with that sentence LOL!!!!

Comparing Kia to Lauryn Hill is like comparing Soulja Boy to Nas. Lauryn is WAY out of Kia's league, in BOTH skills and looks.

Quit playing yourself, NIGGA. LOL.

[bummedoutforlife]

honestly lauryn is one of the best lyricists i know

[arab3515]

@MissLadyFIERCE lolz who is kia???

[ldpoetess]

@MissLadyFIERCE Preach it please. Im in shock at the fact that Khia's name even was bought up in comparison! And any 'real niggas' [aka most likely hoodrats] that would support Khia over Lauryn Hill would certainly not be giving respect to Khia for any reasons that include skill, depth, content or natural beauty... Smh.

[bummedoutforlife]

omg

can't believe that you even put khia's name here

yo

at least lauryn has class man

and she can DEFINITELY out rap khia's pussy licking rapping ass anyday

[bummedoutforlife]

@bummedoutforlife LOL WHEN THE FUCK DID I WRITE THIS.

i would agree...

but did i really say it like this?

OMG LOL

lauryn's still the classiest person out there.

[decyx2]

Not only do you have terrible taste in music, you also express pride in having bad taste. To think that Hip Hop could have fallen so far from its roots as an outlet through which displaced urban youth could express their dissatisfaction with the system and teach their peers about life depresses me. People like you have NO IDEA what Hip Hop is about and the fact that you think being "hood" and typing like an uneducated moron is acceptable is simply pathetic. You should have better standards.

[berbz]

Not the best of Lauryn Hill but gosh I loved it. The back up singers were excellent...sell off as we would say in Jamaica and I love the Amerie 1 thing addition.....nice

[4SuccessOnlee]

Khia compared to Lauryn well I guess that really shows your maturity level, you just got to be kidding me.!

[YoungDeepThinker]

this is horrible compared to 10yrs ago.

[YoungDeepThinker]

:( comeback...

[registar123]

that wasnt raw, fuckn skank was obviously out of breath, that was her first MAJOR comeback public performance and she fucked up hard. stoopid ass

[Notorious346]

What a GREAT performance,

& the Background singers was ON IT!!!

[fresh70791]

Even the voice wasn't on piont. She had great stage prescence and comanded the stage. She didn't let it show that her voice wasn't rested. She still gave it here all and was still go to watch and liked how she switched up the arrangement

[ktanazleandazle]

respek to ms hill ALWAYS she BAD her voice is even sexya, i am a female yes but she bad can't dun. album, voice, style every thing truss. so to all yal haters dun it.

[lapdscuffy]

i wish everybody stop judging her voice and let her sing she is lauryn hill her name speak for itself and also remember just because she won all those damn grammys and sold millions of records in 98 she is human being first

[meneshayounot]

exactly and humans have vocal strain...

[theBKway]

that was a good performance and arrangement of the song. But it was painful to watch Even i felt the strain in her voice.

[fresh70791]

This is the best arrangement of this song I've heard. If only she had rested her voice and not helled so much. But I love it cuz, its Ms. Lauryn Hill

[gretski94]

i didn't think that was great,

i love the song though,

but she was constinitly out of breath,

love her though

=D

[ktanazleandazle]

shet ur neck yu kan sing? u no how hard it is to proform and sing at the same time, u dont know if she as bin singing all day in different venues,cumin from a singer.

[ragman2326]

she looks like junky

[Suwai0303]

She's sooo awesome! I love her Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album. But where is she now? Still performing?

[BrooklynBorn99]

Had her 5th child

[o0rchidea]

omg! she really lost her voice :(

[angelixurr]

I respect every little thing about her. And I'm glad she is doing what she wants. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't take care of her voice.

[gstylaa]

she is high i think check the voice:)

[cl4im3r]

This aint the lauryn hill who we all respect and love. I just watched a more recent video where her voice is completely GONE. I was hoping she had a bad voice... But this video is just proof she's lost her voice. Which really is a big shame. I wish her all the best.

[rocky82n]

I saw an interview where she said she was tired of always resting her voice and never fully living life so she stopped doing that. Stopped the vocal coach and stopped the warm tea and honey because thats not what life was about. Even on her mtv unplugged she said the same thing. but her voice isnt what it once was because of all that.

[BrooklynBorn99]

Did you see the BET awards her voice is back!

[meneshayounot]

...that performance was horrible... vocally... her voice was not back..

[fresh70791]

Don't care what anyone says. This is a great performance. Her voice wasn't on point but still great!!!!!!! Esp. the second verse, that was tight!!

[funkyfreshdope7]

I love at the end where they do Ameries 1 thing that brings a whole new spin to the song its dope! yo even though this song is a few years old its still relevent!

[rvdhitman]

hell yea...she ripped it...who cares what the media may say...she is the TRUTH!!!

[frasie71]

OMG, she tore that stage up. I wasn't even concerned about her voice at all. It's a voice, sometimes it will be raspy, sometimes it won't. She killed it though and the crowed is definatley feeling her.

[eahole]

i like when she raps and sings cause she is one of the best female mc's ever

[lex3408]

...MESS! I miss the simple suttle Lauryn

[LovePeaceHarmony6]

I love you lauryn! so raw, unique, real...if you don't understand her, maybe listen to her lyrics on unplugged. She's not trying to be 'polished' and 'perfect' for you...she GETS OUT of all your boxes, ..an amazing rapper/singer/songwriter

[jonnomayer]

love that album. Your so right, she wasn't being true to herself and now she is.

She performs for herself, which is the way a true artist performs - not for other people.

[emersonmis]

ELA RELMENTE E D +

[xpressionfits08]

I COMPLETELY AGREE. I am tired of people coming down on her. The truth is that she slowly is weening her fans from the deception of hip hop and those who are left will know how to appreaciate true soulful heart touching mind changing raw music.

[imdoingme]

cant hate on a chick when she set standards! love lauryn alwayz!!

[stuffy127]

The music was banging.... I can't say that for Ms. Hills vocals

[Fayenatic]

she is a horrible singer and rap is so boring

but tastes differ

[hym456]

but if you know all of this before hand why would you go out of you way to see one of her performances? If you dont like her dont look for her. Why not view an artist you do like? and write nice happy comments.

[Fayenatic]

well i had nothing to do

i just dont think its right to call her a good singer

[hym456]

in this clip her voice is horse. But unlike half the industry she refuses to let that stop her from performing. She still manages to give a good performance with a frog, no a bullfrog, in her throat. And thats the sign of a true performer.

[hym456]

but ur opinion is ur opinion. MEH

[gsman67]

She is raspy on this performance but is generally a great singer and a phenomenal rapper if you go back and listen to old hip hop and soul and not this garbage that's out now!

[cushe83]

stop hating

[whiteboy285]

She's a lot better singer than rapper. But she's still hella good

[MELLOWLL6]

shes the only one who could sing and rap. No one else masters both arts like she does.

[brandonsmith14]

i disagree i like when she raps better

[dymepeacediamond]

She has fell off. lauryn some advice, DUMP ROHAN.

[MsBitchy007]

This is 2005 Europe...MS. HILL aint Right at ALL here. And this band quickly left her once back to the States...

[nittyranks]

The bass player is not playing the part well compared to the dred on the other clips. This is not her band I don't think.

[miguelmk021]

long time no see lol

[omarlimon]

love this girl

[ladysantanagunz]

i love this womean. she iz so beyond intelligent and so spiritual and such a true heart. her muziq getz me through so much. anything she'z ever done i love. i'm growing in my person and i hope 2 one dai be az insightful az mz.hill. so happi 2 c her doin' her thing still.

[BashirBillowKhalid]

I love how she put ameries song in it, it fit so perfectly!

true art

[TheLastPictureShow]

This is not horrible at all, but the live version from the NPA is much, much tighter and grooves better.

She also turns in a tighter vocal performance. But either way, Lauren Hill is the shit, no doubt. Those other girls wish they had 1/10th of her talent.

[lilbmackin]

fuck who ever hatin lauryn hill is the best at poetry and r&b she inspire me to write poetry about the world and wat it lacks 2day so fuck all yall and if she did say dat about them den she had a reason for it and more then most likelly was write so yea

[shibakuzo111]

L Boogie is probably the best female performer in hop hop/ R&B. Her and Mary J are just crazy life. Soul like you cant believe. I have seen em both live. MJB three time and L Boogie twice. Amazing voices!!!

[juinshii]

did i hear ameries song 1 thing in the perfomance?

[hardtraffic]

Guys you know you'd better, watch out (Watch out!)

Some girls, some girls are only, about (About!)

That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)

That thing, that thing, that thing! (Thing!)

[hardtraffic]

Guys you know you'd better, watch out

Some girls, some girls are only, about

That thing, that thing, that thing!

That thing, that thing, that thing!

[BabySpit]

awesome. to the untrained ear, it sounds like a mess. you can tell it's a complicated.. remix? lol she seems to have taken on a more reggaeish vibe, not really my type of thing, but i'm still a fan nevertheless

lol at what she's wearing, kinda looks like a leprachaun

[MissBrightsidee]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuurrrrrrrrr­rrrryyyhhhhnn we löve yhaa

[zutsj]

wow people actually still believe she said that huh

[SunnyCool]

dudes... she's one of the last true soul performers out here these days...

[steveoplacebo]

id rather see my children die then see a white person bye my album. L Hill the RACIST

[daniohs]

That's a rumor.

[spike3271]

did she really say that ?

[steveoplacebo]

aparenly she was heard making racist comments

at an award ceremoney.

[steveoplacebo]

Aparently she was overheard making racist comments at an award ceremoney.

[ultrafelicity]

Lauryn Hill is a real person with a real life. She was not put on this earth solely for our entertainment. I feel lucky to have just been touched by her music. She is a true artist-creative and sincere. Remarkably talented. What I love most is that she does not "package" herself. Thanks for the footage.

[Aaimah]

I wouldn't call it horrible. That was a good performance considering she was horse. While some other divas who would have called off the performance Lauryn decided the show must go on.

[northsidestl91]

wow, that wuz terrible, sorri i luv lauryn, but she sound a damn mess

[hym456]

what r u talking about it was amazing. Thats a staple of a tru artist. When your able to give a good performance with a horsed voice. I like it , its different. diffwerent doesnt have to mean its bad.

[Limeila]

hurray to the queen lauryn hill!!! recks@ her voice horrible ??? and she takes drugs ...you're really funny , blasphemer !!!!

[dblog]

Dat was hot! luv the crisp in her voice... hotness!

[hym456]

Oh pleez... she could never have a bad performance. And even with a horse voice she could still give a better performance than most artists on their best day.

Shes one of the best rappers to ever do it, male or female.

[intriguingsista]

that performance was hot!! very creative i miss lauryn

[kavaholic]

dat was the shit!!!! O SNAP I LUV HER!

[pixulonko]

she is so perfect!!!!

nice performance and musicaly ... no words about it!!

i love her!!!

[homegirrl]

Lauryn Hill can never do wrong. Blasphemers.

[Theambasaman]

Man she still got it.

[Recks]

oh man....her voice's cracked! horrible! what happened to her?!? was she on drugs?!

[hym456]

who r u thinking about? No she wasnt! c'mon, if your gunna say something make sure you got the right person

[Recks]

dude you're the one who's confused here, you ask me that question and then you answered my question!?what the hell is that about? if you're gonna pretend that you dont know who i am talkin about then do so cut the crap and watch the video dude, who's performing? whoelse should i think about?

[hym456]

Well bottom line is you got the wrong person. You were thinking of someother artist.

No she is not on drugs, and there were no stories about her ever being on drugs. So that made me think you were thinking about some other artist or you were just writing stuff because you were bored.

[Recks]

dude, i wasnt thinkin of someonelse, i am a lauryn hill fan, that's why i asked questions because i dont know what happened to her...i was just shocked to hear her sing like that, because i heard her sing so many times and she sounded great. but im not arguing anymore, and thanks for the info now it's all clear.

[hym456]

my mistake... i got the impression you came on the forum to put down lauryn. In fact i think this was a different take on a classic song.Not necessarily a bad one. I am also a believer that she needs to make a comeback to the music biz. She is what the music industry needs right now. That i can agree with you on.

[Recks]

yeah, that's what puzzles me, why wont she do another album??? the music industry really does need her right now.

[Becool666]

Crazy performance! I loove it

[DiamonClustaHustla]

I agree. Not one of her best performances.

[hym456]

you have to show respect that she could get on stage with a horse voice and still give a better performance than most artists on their best day. And she could never have a bad performance.

[GetnFunky]

Watch the other vids. She sang bad compared to the old days. Just like here..

[xxmadxx378]

i loved it. it ws crazy!!!!! energy, rough vocals, remix. amazin

[yoroyalhotness]

No, she's just singing it a different way. She always does different versions of her songs. Always better than the last one. I luv this song.

[Jsd8675]

wow is she on drugs. that was horrible.

[blobby87]

i love lauryn hill, one of the best musicians to hav walked this earth (miseducation of lauryn hill album says it all) but this was not one of her best performances. the image is awful-stylist needed urgently. but the energy in her performance is still alive and kicking! i hope she makes a great and successful comeback!

[HoneyGotMeHooked]

hmmmmmmmmmm
