Lauryn Hill

[gaypalmsprings]

Ms. Hill may be 2011's version of Sly Stone. I'm looking forward to it!

[Jakedeez]

I will be far far away from whatever stage she does or doesn't show up to.

[tigermilkboy]

What is the guessing for her lateness? I will take 38 minutes

[rose925]

I know she got a bad reputation for performing late and sometimes not delivering as well for the past few years. But is anyone really excited to see her? Crazy or not, she's a legend, and I'm kind of really thrilled about this.

most deff!
she is a poineer in the game
she has substance
she is no nicki minaj

i am beyond excited to see her

[Coachella Bound]

i caught her mid set at RTB here in cali, and she seemed to finish really strong.. idk. Seems like a total crap shoot what w/ all the videos ive been watching. Lets just hope she brings it, bearing any conflicts ill catch her again.

[heart cooks brain]

I will come towards the end of her set to try and catch the last 4-5 songs.

I'll probably do the same, although showing up for the last 4 probably means you'll get at least 10 songs.

This is the Lauryn I want to see!

[Mr. Fuzz]

An afternoon set on the Outdoor Theater would be the best spot for her. Sunset would be nice, too.

good call!

[heart cooks brain]

I could see her playing the Outdoor a la Thom Yorkke. That way, as stated before, she would have some leeway, as she likes to be fashionably late.

[Mr. Fuzz]

I could see an outdoor set a la M. Ward in 09.

I count 2 drummers, 3 guitarists, and 2 keyboards.........why

With the negative ways her audiences are reacting toward her (booing, etc) and her comments about already being tired of playing the same stuff every night, I would be very surprised if she's still on the poster come April. She already seems ready to call this tour quits.

I say that with sadness because I'd love to see her, but I'm pretty sure she'll either drop off the poster early or possibly even worse for us, come on really late/fuck up set times of others, etc.

[travelfan]

I am so torn on this, because on one hand a Lauryn Hill set where she is on top of her game would be just about the sickest thing all weekend. However, I've heard so much negativity about her recent performances before I even stepped on this board.

Generally what I've heard is that she's sped up and "remixed" a lot of her songs, and that the first 2/3 of her set is terrible. She apparently gives the last few songs (Ex-Factor, Doo Wop, Fugees hits) a solid rendition at the very end. So I may try to make my way over for the end of her set, but like as others said it's almost an impossibility that she will start anything close to her set time.

On paper she looks amazing for Coachella, but I'm afraid in reality it will be a shitshow (and not even one with comedic value like Sly Stone).

Lauryn Hill is this years Sly Stone.

You all have officially been warned.

love c

Yesterday was the first time I sat down and actually listened to Lauryn Hill. Absolutely loved it. I wasn't planning on watching her originally... now I really want to. Bummer she's on Friday.

with some artists there is a huge disparity between their records and them live.

this will be one of those cases.

[wizard]

hill was completely ehhh at rtb

[blueduck]

She is terrible live. Do you guys remember a while back when she quoted in and interview "that she would rather her baby starve than to have a white person buy her album"?

[jokerfit]

45 minutes !

[kananilove]

i was pretty stoked when i saw her name on the list but im only gonna stop by and if she's entertaining and sounds good ill stay if not ill just move along to the next stage.

[gaypalmsprings]

[wscmx13]

She was definitely my least favorite act at RTB last year. So boring & didn't even perform Doo Wop.

I dare you to try and find that interview. It's pure false. I already posted a link to debunk it on the first page of this thread.

"Lauryn Hill doesn't care about white people"

[Coachella Bound]

i am absolutely and completely confused by this article....

[kushwig]

She's a total 1D20. I want to hate, but she has the potential to display pure genius, but I doubt it.

[natureboy]

She has this song called "Damnable Heresies" that she was supposed to perform at the BET Awards when the Fugees reunited that's pretty epic. It's like 10+ minutes. Here's a crappy live version...

[natureboy]

This is a fun one from the soundtrack of the animated penguin movie "Surf's Up"

[donecakes18]

Sorry to bust any bubbles but she isn't that good anymore. If you are expecting to hear the old Lauryn Hill, she doesn't exist anymore. Tempo is completely different and you can't really recognize the old stuff. To get an idea go to youtube and check her out at Rock The Bells. Thats were I saw her and was sadly disappointed.
