Lauryn Hill Celebrates Her 40thOn May 26th My Mother and Brother hosted a beautiful birthday party for me in grand style. With the help of my daughter Selah, uncle Michael Hill, cousin Hakim Abdus-Sabur, friends Miriam Farrakhan and AJ Calloway, they were able to contact and invite many of my childhood friends and relatives, some of whom, I hadn’t seen for years. Since I’m usually the one throwing the party or hosting the event, I can’t begin to tell you what a joy it was to pile into this space ‘all old-school-like’ surrounded by family and friends both past and present. In some of these photos (probably most) I’m a hot and sweaty, sentimental mess, but elated! I was reminded of how rich and diverse the community of my youth was and continues to be. A special thank you to my Mother and Brother for putting this wonderful event together and all those who helped and of course, attended. Love you!!! ❤, MLH

Even after all she's been through, she is still so gorgeous to me.

She sounds so good and crisp...God she seems even motivated enough to not rush through every song and make it upbeat. I hope.......I just hope is what I'll say can't even finish it with Lauryn sometimes

As long as it is not like her recent songs where she sounds like just throwing random words together that ends with 'tion' like 'entonation, conotation, combination, migration, captivation', I'll give it a check

She sounded good singing the verse, but then it went off the rails with the chorus and The Weeknd joining back in.

LMAO. She showed her ass in Pittsburgh once again. Damn near four hours late to the stage. Why anyone would pay money to see this woman, I have no idea.

I'm reading that she didn't show up at all? She did. According to my friends that were there, a ton of people left and got refunds because there was a rumor she wasn't showing. And there was no communication to the audience about where she was. She was supposed to go on at 8, walked out on stage at 11:20 apparently.

I don't understand when her bread & butter is touring at this point why she'd allow herself to get such a bad reputation as a live performer. Those residual checks from Miseducation must be keeping her afloat.

I want to know how she is so late. A little late is one thing but hours late? You have to be doing it on purpose at this point. Does she just decide she doesn't want to go on at 8 and just sits around until She is ready? Decides she'd rather go have dinner first? It's total disregard for the people giving you a paycheck. I would never go to her concerts. I was listening to Miseducation today and still love it as much as the day it came out but this is a shame.

She's in huge debt. She tours cause she needs the money. I don't think she's in it for her "art" anymore.

She was incredible. She wasn't late and she put on a great show. She can still sing her face off. I need a new album like now.

I want to know how she is so late. A little late is one thing but hours late? I know right? I have the same question to ask Madonna because she was going on 2 to 4 hours late during her last few tours. She did have a DJ go on for a couple of hours as an "opening act" but that's ridiculous. And this was for nearly every single date of the tour. She told Ellen on her show that they had a lot of stuff to double check and run through to get it "just right" for the audience. But you can start 2 to 3 hours earlier so then you're actually ready when the show is really supposed to start. With Lauryn, that's just totally unacceptable because her show isn't as difficult to set up since it's just her, her backing vocalists, her musicians, and a very simple stage. Even if one is doing it just for the paycheck (although, nearly all performers are doing it for that reason because it's such a massive undertaking to conceive a show like that and do it and be on the road for so long), she still has to take it seriously because if she doesn't, the fans won't.

Her habits are so well-known at this point (she's been doing this for over a decade now) that I don't feel bad for anyone buying her tickets and waiting 4 hours for her to perform a shortened set list.

Ok, but it’s been widely documented since 1998 that you were fraudulent with your credits, Ms. Hill.

Her response was interesting, to say the least. She is a very intelligent (and shrewd) woman.

She has 8 months to rest her voice and practice being on time to this show.

Lauryn Hill Arrives Over 2 Hours Late For French Show / Apologizes After Performing For “Just 32 Minutes”Lauryn Hill may be many things, but punctual isn’t one of them. The iconic songstress’ trademark brand of tardy struck again last night in France and left fans furious. Details below… Currently on the European leg of her ‘MisEducation 20th Anniversary Tour,’ the former Fugees star was set to rock the Accor Hotel Arena in Bercy with a full-bodied show. However, drama struck when the 43-year-old took to the stage 2 and half hours late. Even worse, strict curfew rules meant she performed for less than an hour. Reports are still pouring in, but many fans claim her set ran 32 minutes before being brought to an abrupt end. A similar occurrence is said to have taken place in Brussels the night before, with the singer hitting the stage 1 hour and 40 minutes late and playing for 40 minutes. As has sadly become customary, an apology letter was issued via social media. Hill wrote: Much as we love her, it’s totally deserved. She’s very much at a point where she’s better off showing her professionalism than promising it in letter after jarring letter. At every level, she’s playing herself and her fans. Because even if it were a technical issue, she may need to look at her internal setup to ask why and how it keeps happening. Year after year. Country after country. Tour after tour. Surely, if there any validity to her claim, it’s been long overdue for her to put the people and tools in place to rectify the matter? After all, it’s her name being mopped through the mire. Like, no matter which way it’s diced or sliced, she’s in the wrong. But no more apologies. Do better, be better. thatgrapejuice.net/2018/11/lauryn-hill-arrives-over-2-hours-late-french-show-apology/#ixzz5XZSo0Esl

Anyone buying a Lauryn Hill ticket at this point should know how big of a risk they’re taking. I wouldn’t go for free.
