rapfix.mtv.com/2010/08/21/rock-the-bells-live-blog/So..apparently she performed When It Hurts So Bad, Turn Your Lights Down Low, Fugee-La, and Ready Or Not. Sway 6:11 PM PST Miss Lauryn Hill is on stage right now performing "Hurst So Bad" and a girl named Linda who is 24 years old is standing next to me crying profusely what she just told me are tears of joy. She is saying that even though it was advertised she wasn't sure if Miss Lauryn Hill would appear. When I asked why is she crying, she said she can feel the passion in her voice. Shaheem Reid 6:30 PM PST Me and Sway agree that when Lauryn raps, it is electrifying. She just kicked a freestyle. Shaheem Reid 6:38 PM PST Lauryn has a six piece band, three backup singers and a DJ. She just freestyled during "Turn Your Lights Down Low." Shaheem Reid 6:47 PM PST Lauryn just finished with "Fugee La" and "Ready or Not." She left the stage and the crowd starts chanting "Lauryn! Lauryn!" Shaheem Reid 6:50 PM PST Lauryn is in excellent spirits. Very energetic. Dancing, talking to the crowd, directing her band. Very much in control and lucid, but still having a great time.

I'm so glad she captured the crowd in the end. Judging from my twitter timeline, a lot of people thought she was amazing especially when it came to the Fugees' joints. Some people, as expected were not happy about her new arrangements/remixes for her Miseducation songs. Not that she performed them badly but because they couldn't recognise them.
Man I wish I could hear this Turn Your Lights Down Low freestyle MTV is talking about

I think it's the same freestyle she does on the recording. Judging from his comments on another song that she "free styled".
I really wish people would get over themselves and allow the woman to interpret her songs. I'm sorry but her version of Lost Ones from Lisbon was absolutely ridiculous. You can definitely tell the songs by the melody and lyrics that isn't changed. Some of them have slightly different arrangements while some are amazingly re-done. If you want to hear the originals then go to You tube and look up her past performances or just sit and listen to the CD. Allow the woman to evolve for God's sake.
I'm also a little worried about this Repercussions leaked trapped making such a buzz. I think her record company did it to entice her to come back and record the way they want her to record. People will not open themselves to her new sound and message if they won't allow themselves to hear something different. Her new version of The Passion is simply gorgeous. World Is A Hustle is so moving to hear. I want her to come back with a new outlook and comfortable to record the way she wants to record. My wish is that she would release a double disc with one disc of pure hip hop/soul like miseducation and then another disc with acoustic soul so we can get studio versions of the Unplugged album and the other songs she performs live. I know they will never let her do that AND she may not want to do it BUT it's my biggest wish.

I just want to wish L the best in her tour because its going to be a tough job trying to win people over with her new way of performing, especially because its the US ( they are the toughest critics when it comes to vocals etc). Some of these people have never seen her recent performances and may still have expectations of the old Lauryn. I know she'll pull it off though
