It was terrible. I did not stand up for ours for that performance to sound that horrible. Singing the same phrase over and over again =/= singing a past hit. I tried to stay as long as possible but no, it was absolutely ridiculous. "Let me make this clear…I’m not mad at Lauryn I thnk she is a very talented artist…I’m not mad at the new music and the remixes…I’m mad that me and 5000 other fans had to wait in a hot sweat park on our feet for more than three hours just to hear a bunch of stuff we didn’t come for. That’s why we walked out. Lauryn Hill will never be as big as she used to be because her music is about her and the people she’s trying to sell it to. That was the greatness of Miseducation…it spoke to everybody." Truth. And yes, I have went to shows that started ON time. Then I guess I’m a ” lyin’ ‘ho”, like you said. lol @ the bashing of different opinions.

And it's not 1998. Homegirl is not in Sister Act 2, she has four kids and four Grammys. She's 32, not 22. She doesn't have to kowtow and do the same shit she was doing four years ago. Should she be wearing glitter jeans and talking about hot new devices like the flip phone? It seems like her fans are all sooooo stuck in loving Lauryn in 1998 but the point was whatever you think of her now, she tried so hard at that concert. She wasn't on some dopey Britney shit. She ROCKED it for two hours which people don't even seem to care about. And what is this, she was so late bullshit. It's a free concert!! She had an 11 piece band including two drum kits!! She had an opening act who was an hour late!! It's not that serious. If you love Lauryn that much...let her grow. The album is for listening along to the songs. And it’s not 1998.

That concert was Horrible...wait let me say that again...HORIBBLE! I've never been so disapointed by an artist since Michael Jackson's Last album. That that Michael's Album was bad, it was just so many levels beneath the quality that Michael fans are accustomed to. It was the same thing with Lauryn Hill. It was a waste of time. Thousands and I mean thousands of fans came out to see Lauryn. I'm a frequent at the wingate concerts and I've never in all my years seen a crown at wingate like the one that showed up to see Lauryn Hill. It was like being aboard a slave ship in the 1500s. Wall to wall negro. No. I am not exaggerating...It was wall to wall negro. And I'm mad that no one has commented about the 80 percent of the audience that walked out after the third song. The first problem was the wait. It's a free concert I will concede that fact. I didn't expect much, but to wait 3 hourse before she sings a note...that's ridiculous and insulting. Yeah, it's a free concert, but I bought her album three times and I'm sure I'm not the only one. These people didn't buy tickets but they have supported her career all the way and to be treated like that is disrespectful. The opening act was garbage singing songs like "Welcome to Jamrock" and "Hova" and a couple of other songs that wasn't even his. My friend is right Lauryn's segment started at 9:45, but that was the band and they played for almost an hour before she appeared on the stage in her hot leather cowboy jacket (in the summer?). The worst part of the concert was how she ruined everyone's expectations. Let me be real. It's a concert...adlibs I expect...Remixes I expect...she change everything about the songs people came to hear except for the lyrics but you couldn't even tell what she was singing because she was singing so fast, and I mean fast. Imagine Bone thugs singing I will always love you...yeah not a pretty picture. The reason the massive music community goes to a concert is to hear what they love hearing, the songs that invoke emotion and bring back fond memories...if you wanna do a remix or improv THAT IS WHAT THE ALBUM IS FOR! People go to concerts to sing along. In fact most of the concerts I have been to the artist doesn't do most of the singing, the audience does. They just let the music plan and allow the audience to be raptured by the songs they have come to love. Let me make this clear...I'm not mad at Lauryn I thnk she is a very talented artist...I'm not mad at the new music and the remixes...I'm mad that me and 5000 other fans had to wait in a hot sweat park on our feet for more than three hours just to hear a bunch of stuff we didn't come for.

Will you love me tomorrow? I was one of those stone cold haters but she really did the damn thing. Most people are talking about her clothes and the fact that they couldn't sing along. That's what the album is for! You don't want Lauryn doin the same damn thing for years at a time. Plus it wasn't just image because her talent really shined through. Her voice was bullshit at times but she was theatrical - she fucking performed. I know, I thought that was cute! Will you love me tomorrow?
