Lauryn Hill @ Coachella 04/15/2011 (Full Performance - Part 1)

[kvocalist]

big LH fan but theirs no excuse for her to be sounding like she has for many yrs..she does not put anything anymore in her voice, sumtimes she sings and it sounds amazing, other times its like this. soooo not impressed.

[AriWonder]

Set the VIBES right lol

[LMMariah]

@bendebiase ... Oh and it's "everyone has something to say."

[LMMariah]

.... Do you feel better? Was that your good deed of the day?

[LMMariah]

@bendebiase... What are mouths for? For so long I thought we used our mouths to speak, but now it seems as though no one likes the gift of word or opinion in this world... Look at her performance. Do you feel that raw passion for singing that you felt when you listened to her sing Zion or the x factor a few years back?! She's missing Life in that performance... I didn't say she's a fucking junky or that she fucking sucks... She's missing life! Yes, everyone has something to say =)

I want to say

[hishahar]

Where are you Lauryn? please wake up

[g33mini]

Looks like the trolls below are at it again ... Hating on a truly talented artist... Say whatever you want shes a gem. Ive seen her 3 times and she brought it all 3 so unless youve actually seen her live how bout a tall glass of shuthefukup :) carry on

[thisisacunt]

look at one time she was one of thebiggest artist in the world you dont get there trough talent

[LMMariah]

Lauren, I think it's time you spend time alone to regroup... Something's not right...

[bendebiase]

@LMMariah everyone got something to say. i'm sure she appreciates your amazing advice. especially coming from someone so successful and experienced in the industry. what a blessing.

[PetrGrus1984]

She holds out his hand and handkerchief snorting something from it??Uget out Laurin this way is right to hell.......

[tubemaster83]

she is on drugs?????? @ christinad690 ?? really... i see her for the first time in this video after maaaany yeaaaars... and i thought at least that shes not in balance... thats sad...when i start compare my memories of the 90s with my impression of her in this video of 2011, its disappoiting. imagine she takes drugs as a mother with 9 kids...wtf?! back in the time she always seemed to have style and behaviour like a lady....where is her man to show her the right way???

[sflowe0509]

yes, yes, yes! My girl !

[christinad690]

she has a beautiful voice but after hooked up with ziggy marley she is now bi polar,with 9 kids & on drugs, every time ms.hill has an interview she has different personality from the poor homeless woman TO the high class bitch of beverly hills. please pray for her.

[harukaj]

is she pregnant?

[msyanez]

Ms. Hill is a beautiful intelligent woman. Although getting old, I love the fact she's still doin her thing.

[Fernluv]

I need Lauryn n Lupe to record a song together ASAP!!

[kexo2000]

((((((BLOOD CLOT)))))))))

[monch619]

Does anyone know who the band members are?

[hapesjr]

@monch619 The dude playing the guitar in the black front and center is my good friend and incredibly talented musician Sam Damage. He, like the other musicians, are hired guns. They all come from different places -his Seattle- and though they are all talented, they do not have any history prior to Ms Hills tour. Keep an eye out for Sam Damage, though, that kid'll go far.

[MzSoulll]

she's doin too much. why does she have five hats and a table cloth on? Come on L Boogie what happened?

[MegaBoggled]

dang she looks pregnant. and her voice, good lord. She really shouldnt push it so hard, i wonder if she's had nodules by all the harsh and hard singing shes done over the years. When shes in her lower register its fine, eg when she sings a few bob songs, bar this one, like is this love, it sounds good. She just needs to chill and not push everything so hard. Anyways thats just an opinion.

[Mysticlies]

Her crazy-like antics, arm waving, looking around feverishly all reminded me of Whitney Houston. Don't worry I love both Lauryn Hill and Whitney Houston. :)

[DarkazalliMusic]

im not impressed with the sound quality at Coachella..also, lauryns voice isnt the same here...not sure if it was jus the sound quality cus it seems like that may be the case....

[marizbernarde]

like a boss.

[caligrlie08]

i would give anything to see ms hill live! i was barely 6 years old when she was in her prime...her music is an inspiration to me and idk how she is now i just wanna see her:)

[ttfixmyhair]

Don't get me wrong I can recognize obvious talent but the performance was not on!

[ttfixmyhair]

I watched the entire performance waiting on KOL but still this performance drove me crazy it was just wrong in so many ways! She seemed on "something" tweeking or something. She couldn't get past thinking she wasn't loud enough, visible "control freak" behavior, couldn't perform for running everything and everyone. Looked ridiculous and uncomfortable. All the pointing to the mic and telling the band to "come on" Uggh. Once a few thousand folks reply "yes" to can you hear me, 'nough!

[craziilaundrii]

@ttfixmyhair umm they were doing a  mic check...

[ttfixmyhair]

@craziilaundrii If that's the case the entire set was a sound check!

[lozoft9]

She sounds fine for somebody who's been off her game for near a decade. Long live L-boogie.

[13ScanTron]

who gives a fuck how she sounds.....fUCK!!!

[0ntology]

@13ScanTron well she is a musician ;p

[GarrettMBand]

And can someone please explain the obnoxious space ship noise? I mean for real, FUCK off with that.

[GarrettMBand]

Her voice hasn't ever been perfect, that's what has been so amazing about Lauryn. Her imperfections are really key to a part of her artistry. SUCH an amazing artist and person.

[Nu63]

God damn, what was the weather like? She's wearing 3 layers including a leather jacket and 2 hats!

[clevawoman]

EVERY time I hear Lauryn....small or big venues...she sounds bad to me. She didn't take care of her voice. That's just my opinion. 

[briquelinda]

@clevawoman i agree and i'm a HUGE FAN....i used to listen to her album daily. now i'm just lost with her. praying for better.

[Gr33nAv3ng3r]

@clevawoman Then stop listening to her... her voice is not the point... neither is the music...what's important is the message...#my2

[PTOWNGURL]

@clevawoman she been smoking 2 much weed in Jamaica wit the marleys.. ruined her voice

[DubGongTuff]

@PTOWNGURL thats is exactly what I thought haha

[carimi1able]

@clevawoman if you listened to Lauryn and understood her you would realize its not about that... is it hard for ya'll to catch a message of song without the artist actually sounding like she spends 18 hours of her day toning or whatever it is other artists with "beautiful/ perfect" vocal cords do..... BUT hey we all entitled to our own opinions.....

[ashestoyoursoul]

@carimi1able that may be true, but as a singer you must take care of your voice or else you could ruin it. those that sound excellent live actually take care of their voices in various ways

[MsFruitbasket]

@carimi1able Yes, bring back RAW VOCALS!!! at this point everybody in the world can "sing" thanks to all the wonderful vocal coaches. :-) Let's hear some natural, raw talent and some real live meaningful hot fleshy --not fleshly-- inspired music. PLEASE. Thank u!

[LayJayDay5]

@clevawoman It's true and it's very sad. I'm watching this as a fan who's deeply disappointed but it's still good to see her performing again above all.

[psx2514]

@clevawoman I saw her at Rock the Bells last year, and she was AWFUL. I can't believe their having her HEADLINE this year. Seriously?

[threecleareyes]

@clevawoman she doesn't count herself a performer anymore, she's a messenger, watch her mtv unplugged and youll get it a bit more

[penelopepizzo]

@clevawoman unfortunately I think you're right :(

[vodden2k6]

@clevawoman Have you ever watched her unplugged? she explains her voice..watch it

[5656onelove5656]

her voice sounds much better in her smaller recent performances, i think she strains her voice too much tryin to fill out the area with her voice. shes an amazing performer nonetheless

[ovywan08]

@Mogolwane o kua tan jin wan

[MansaBC]

Shes been on tour non-stop, is she not human?

[ovywan08]

fucking horrible, her pussy's probably dried up too

[alexanderkenniethbam]

@ovywan08 i dont blame you

[unblended31]

@ovywan08 wow...

[gregarious24]

Coachella....you're all getting A BRAND NEW CARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GET A CAR!!! YOU GET A CAR!!! YOU GET A CAR!!! YOU GET A CAR!!!!

Seriously, though, she seems to be slowly morphing into Oprah Winfrey.

[Smartass8504]

I love me some Lauryn, but why does her voice seem to be cracking so much? It seems to be kind of...raspy in these Coachella performances? She used to have much smoother vocals.

[pensarbonito]

Rastaman Chant. Marley forever. Lauryn, welcome back!

[bamagrlnbham]

Man its been too long, however, still glad she is coming back!

[tenta20]

Man, I wish I was there!

[MattWilson120689]

[franknblunt]
