Lauryn Hill - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

[Jazzedboltz]

Everything about her is so beautiful... Long live L Boogie! <3

[ldybuglove]

There are a couple good versions of this song out there. Roberta Flack sings it beautifully indeed- but I don't get chills and I don't feel it in my soul like my girl Lauryn's version. It is what it is.

[diklahm100]

love it



[subliminal1979]

AMAZING



[drylaundry]

hmm...don't like it

[mrgreyblake]

About 2 years ago I pulled up to a Gamestop in N.J. next to a woman getting her kids out of a Navigator or some shit. I didn't really pay attention to her as I was shopping but as I heard her talking to her kids, asking them what they wanted, I noticed that her voice was very familiar. She was being helped by one of the employees when I made my purchase and as I turned to leave I glanced at her... it was Lauryn Hill... just buying video games for her kids like anyone else.

[sladonn636]

@mrgreyblake

That's what she's been trying to tell people. She's been away taking care of her family but people just want to make up stuff about she's crazy or on drugs. I guess a lie sounds more interesting than a boring mom running her kids around town. I'm glad you witnessed it. God bless her and her family.

****** OUTSTANDING ******

[CCBaby]

Stunning a glimpse of the old Lauryn....pls come back!

[queenray1]

I miss Lauryn hill so much I could just cry

[GTownSinger]

Wow! That voice is still untouchable.

[mjjcng8958]

the temptations i love it and lauryn hill

[slowfoodwawa]

This is quite special. With her singing this, some versions are not that good.

But this one is.

Still personally I wouls prefer PPM, but that maybe a question of age.

[lauragee357]

WE MISS U LAURYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nicfr100]

@lauragee357

Lord only knows~ I miss Lauryn's talent.

[cleosole]

i can't find this any were the whole clean cutt does any one know where i can get this? thanks for post. I can Find Celine but i don't want her i want miss Lauryn's cut of "The first time".

[writetyme]

MISS YOU!

[shylosworld78]

you better sing, lauryn!!!

[daaviid67]

Wow, she sounds like she did back when she was on top. It's so weird to hear her sing like this, really.

[TrueRnB]

Lauryn still sounds the same... its just sometimes she rest/prepares her voice and sometimes she doesnt... Aint this point she said she doesnt live her life to make sure her voice is always perfect...

[poetryselite]

Don't recall eva hearin this one, but it's beautiful nevertheless. Man I wish Lauryn would bless the world and music by makin one of the illest returns eva.

[LGnLA]

WOW, I sang this at karaoke (Flacks) version, BUT whew, I couldn't touch Hills version with a 20ft stick!! LOL!! Go Ms. Lauryn & please come back!! And of course I humbly bow to Ms. Flack's version, I couldn't touch that one either... tee hee!!

[surgpath1]

listen to leona lewis's version, she kills it!!

this is definitely a different spin on one of the most beautiful somgs ever written, well done Lauryn!!

[dazzat1983]

I am possibly the BIGGEST Lauryn Hill fan on the planet., I went to see her in Manchester and I am devasted to say, that, she was AWFUL the majority of the concert. But, her perfomance of this song brought me to tears. I realised, at this point, how talented she truly is. So, PLEASE, come back Lauryn, we need you!

[bendebiase]

@dazzat1983 wow the biggest fan ever? nice to meet you!

[misterroyaltee]

i dont like this arrangment she was trying to sound different

[KevinDukekmd]

Celine Dion has the best version of this song ever.. she has the right voice...Roberta was good too but Celine was more soothing. She has the touch for this song

[lavendermariposa]

LAURYN COME BACK....  PLEASE

[BHDread]

i remember wathing Lauren from a distance after coming from Montclair way over to her school, Columbia in SO....

I always knew she'd be a star...she is so daggone fine....

Curt knew her, also Moushee, who had a crush on her and died in my car in an accident...I always wanted to let her know how much he loved her..and me too

[curlin2008]

i thought she wouldn't sound as good but i like her version better - i like roberta more upbeat arrangement but i like lauryn's voice with it...

[Spiritree41]

Great gift o the earth and the universe, LAURYN HILL ! Thank you.

[HotFuss]

This is chronic. Easther Bennett from Eternal sings the BEST EVER version of this song.

[geddstock]

IDIOT

[trickardo]

so many people have done covers of this great song and been vocally outstanding, Celine Dion, Alison Moyet and Leona to name a few. But there's something about this performance that is in a different league to all the others, Lauryn's soulful voice is like no other. I hope she brings an album of this sort of stuff out because she is the best in the world at it!

[jacksonnicolem]

For all those people saying this is aweful well I got chills...nuff said~ Peace to the Queen Lauryn

[lolatmarshall]

my god shes amazing

[ghostaliaz]

All Men Respect Your Females of today & please never take them forgranted because they are the earth, the breathe life into us & they give birth to all of us & I breathe this very moment today because of a female & I love them for letting me breathe & I give my total respect to them & side by side man & woman should hold each other up until we both make it to the top of life so we can smile upon our sweet creator & say to god that we did our best. Never take anyone forgranted, Life is not a game

[rere1913]

lauryn is my favorite arrtist! She's just real! She kinda mess up the second verse but who cares we're human and we make mistakes! :)

[xpressionfits08]

Lauryn i perfect! Not that everything is perfect but that she does what she feels true in her heart. Not what people think she should do. True fans love her for her true soulful sound. Not cause she can sing every note on key.

[JosephCa64]

Very hard song to sing. Not the best effort by Miss Lauryn. Off night, perhaps.

[Juicy7Changes6]

Lauren Hill has an Awesome Voice she is truly blessed and whatever her opinion was let it be!! everyone is entitled to their OWN opinion about other people Im stating mine as Lauren Hill is one of a kind and is an Awesome performer her voice is amazing n everything else is over and done with!!!!

[kinkocustomer]

What a way to butcher a song!

[dieniolsimpson]

How dare you Make this comment!!

Lauryn (in this very performance) Has done the whole history of this song GREAT justice above all other artists who have ever attempted it! Do u know y? because she is singing the song from the very bottom of her heart, where all the pain and hurt is!! Where else would you see more PURE,RAW EMOTION?? NOWHERE!! Not nowerdays anyway! Lauryn has made this song her own!!! Just becasue her voice is not as y'all remember it, Her Heart is still there!! GOO GIRRL!! xXx

[jsone07]

now did you actually hear her say that...? Cause she didn't. That rumer started way back in like 99.

[amlissa]

Show me video of her saying this.

Stop spreading rumors.

[algunachava]

you're such an idiot...Nuff said!

[musikologist11]

Lauren is the TRUTH...This was not a glamorous performance, but pure, raw singing!

[whitpr]

Pure raw voice. It has not changed since I first heard her on Sister Act 2 or Fugees. Sing Lauryn.

[rustyoo2006]

You're kidding,right? She used to have a beautiful voice. Now she sounds like gravelly and can't hit the high notes.

[whitpr]

Well here she sounds close to what she used to sound like. I mean of course its not all the same maybe I went a little too far but she just kind of took me back to how she used to sound. I enjoyed her interpretation of this.

[marcyparcy1551]

She has pretty much the same voice, just a bit deeper now.. :)

[dusroots]

her voice has matured very nicely, so forget the high notes...besides who needs high notes when u can make a person feel a song?

[xpressionfits08]

exactly. Lauryn is Perfect!

[Troyo15]

this was unforgettable....literally brought me the crowd 2 tears.....

[itspoetry]

I can barely handle how beautiful this performance was. It turned the whole show around and brought us all some place special, where we remained the rest of the night.

[kocdsel]

A classic song for a classic voice....Love her

[bobokingston]

AMAZING...Lauryn is coming back in 2008 with a new album titled THE INTANGIBLES if you loved the miseducation you will kill for this she does reggae hip hop rnb soul jazz and some classics first time ever i saw your face and the makings of you and iron lion zion and could you be loved she also does some of her acoustic stuff.watch out for that.but to lauryn obviously you've been hurt by a lot of men and we understand we just hope and pray

[MDB2770]

LOL at the girls in the begging... well yeh guyz u no the people that stayed are the ones hu truely know real music and soul wen they hear it true

[danextgrate]

Her vibrato and control make me melt.

[rvdhitman]

sounds So good...hip Hop needs you Ms. Hill...cant wait for the album to drop

[ebysien]

her voice is so back right now!!

i'm impressed!

[itspoetry]

Would you believe that around 5,000 out of the 10,000 that came to see her left early, because they thought she wasn't good? Crazy.

[bigsteel]

oh I love her and this song, one of my fav songs!
