from a July 2014 thread on "Ms. Lauryn Hill":

"As usual Lauryn fans defend everything she does . I love lauryn... but she is just a sloppy performer nowadays. I've had friends who went to her show and were bored to death. I've seen live video too...

The band doesn't just ''re-arrange'' the songs. They sound shitty doing it! one performance the saxophones were out of tune, as well as the guitar it just sounded like utter shit. Her voice also is not up to par with what it once was. She can barely even hit high notes anymore

Why wouldn't be angry at that? she's late, her band sucks, and she can't sing very well anymore. People still believe this mumbo jumbo that it's all media trying to hurt poor Lauryn.

Your band sucks, pay your fucking taxes like we all do, and quit falling in love with married men.

OUT"

.

LET IT BE KNOWN The "SMALL AXE INTIMATE PERFORMANCE" series is her loud ass arena show pared down to loud ass machines and a guitar player. I thought this shit was an acoustic show. She didn't hit the high notes at all. Oh JeROOOOsalem was on JE - salem because someone couldn't catch the note.

.

I am now offically over Lauryn Hill after a 2 hour wait in 15 degree weather for a 10PM show to even enter the venue at midnight because the fucking 6PM show didn't START until 9:30PM. Then we see your entitled, autistic ass jump into an SUV at 11:40?

.

Her band did suck. In almost innumberable ways. Her keyboard/bass/bandleader/everything (the musician? lol) but guitar player needs to be fired NOW. And someone needs to tell her we hear the same shit she does and its because the band is NOT GOOD. Screaming louder and playing louder is not hiding or fixing that.

.

Never again.

Well damn that sounds bad. I love her music but I wouldn't go see her if she came through my city from all the bad reviews I've read with Lauryn being 2, 3 even FOUR hours late. How is she consistently late to every show? I guess that's what happens with you're performing only out of obligation?

She just lost one. For real. She is now in Sly territory.

Ahh!!! sorry to hear that goldstandar. I used to a huge Lauryn Hill fan tbh. But she can't stop fucking up and it's quite annoying honestly. I love Miseducation... and her unreleased stuff. But she's the legend she (and her delusional fans) thinks she is. You can only make so many excuses for this woman honestly.
