Hot Single + November Release (Will have to be next year) + Good Promo = 1 Million sold in opening sales week. Don't think so. She's been high for ten years. Not sure the general public cares anymore.

Not sure the general public cares anymore. Oh come on. The faintest wiff of a return from her sends the blogosphere/Twitter into orbit. One comment from some D-List model did it barely a month ago. She'll always be hip/hop and r&b's darling, but further than that she has no real demographic, men, women, black, white etc. Which means she has a huge range of folk wanting her to comeback. Comeback hype is the best kind, and in this case people it will have nearly ten + years of speculation/demand behind it. That hype combined with good promotion and solid material will produce staggering sales, mark my words. P.S. I just looked at the article above and it starts with the same sentiment that every article about her does. "Lauryn Hill is still on everyone's minds." General public doesn't care my ass.

People get so defensive over Lauryn. She recorded a classic album singing for The Fugees and never recorded a follow up and recorded a classic solo album and never recorded a follow up. That album may be a classic but until she can record ANYTHING else I refuse to believe that she is the Jesus Christ of R&B or whatever people try to paint her as. I have over a hundred individual songs on my iTunes which feature Lauryn...as part of the Fugees, or as a solo artist. This includes two Fugees albums, Fugees unreleased stuff, Lauryn's studio album, Lauryn's live album, Lauryn's soundtrack work, Lauryn's unreleased stuff. To just pretend her talent and genius was limited to a fluke album or two is ignorant. People rag on MTV Unplugged but listen to something like Freedom Time from it and tell me it isn't exceptional. The fact is almost everything she has ever recorded or been a part of is exceptional. The fact that she made such an impact over such a perceived 'short' period of time is a testament not a flaw.

Wow, you are really saying everything I feel. Especially the last sentence about "time". So true

Her voice sounds like it sounded around the time of the Miseducation album so Im guessing its from that time period

Not the best. Yup sounds kind of 1999 to me.
Here's something a little more recent and in rare good quality.

Today is my Lauryn Day lol...I've been on youtube for hours since yokc linked me. I sometimes laugh at how "insane" people make Lauryn out to be. Listening to some of these interviews and just listening to her lyrics really shed light on how much of a genius she is. Geniuses come in so many different forms and sometimes people mistake certain things for so crazy when in reality it's just different from the norm. Idk that's just how I feel.

It's been confirmed this is a demo that's not expected to be turned into a full song. So it's a NEW demo/song and NOT from the Miseducation era.

Lauryn is that b*tch. If she'll ever put out something as qyality as her debut album, she'll slay the industry.

I have Lauryn days every now and again. This is one of my favorites. I mean, she's ridiculous on the whole thing, but 1.05-1.55 is on a whole nother level. Best female MC of all time.

Lauryn showed up in Rowanda last weekend. Looking... ...and sounding... (look at the crowd, so obvious nobody cares about her any more). ...amazing! She really seems like she's starting to get back to the Lauryn of old. It helps that she doesn't seem to have aged a day.

There's no such thing as "returning". She is in a new place and I know she's evolved and going to do her thing!

The joy on their faces in the crowd is amazing. It's like a connection that is more than just taking it in. Wow, thanks for posting yoKC!

That just proves it No. What it proves is people are still as enthusiastic and passionate about her as they have always been, and that your swim against the tide dose of 'realism' and extremist logic ("You all thinks she's God, when really no-one cares about her", neither is true) is useful for nothing other than for pioneering new and exciting ways to be wrong.

Wow she's really looking healthy in those pics on Page 9. She's glowing, I hope she gets back into the groove in full swing and bring us something brilliant, I know she can do it.
