Lauryn Hill at Rock The Bells 2010, NYC & Baltimor

[petra]

So Lauryn just finished her performance. I was basically following her performance trough twitter and she KILLED IT! of course that there were people that were disappointed with that new speed up style arrangements of her songs but I think that overall it was good.
I'll now hook you up with pics & tweets from various people.

AND YES SHE BROUGHT ALL OF HER KIDS ON STAGE DURING PERFORMANCE OF ZION. AND THERE WERE SIX OF THEM! SIX KIDS!

AND SHE BROUGHT Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Chris Rock, Beyonce, Estelle and they were bowing to her

i don't feel like pasting all of it, i'm gonna just paste a few, you can check my twitter page cause i was retweeting all the time

Rock the Bells: Lauryn is onstage. Lauryn is onstage.
Lauryn's doing a new song that's soulful with an exuberant gospel tinge.

People around me are panning Lauryn's performance saying she's not singing well. Too many new songs means crowd's not into it.

Lauryn just brought all six of her kids onstage. Six.

"That was to let you know what I was doing all this time. I was workin. *Really* workin." Lauryn on her kids.

Lauryn brought Beyonce & Alicia & Chris Rock out individually to wave at the crowd. Rock got the biggest cheers by far.

Lauryn's songs are sped up and lacking the soulfulness we loved. She's more Twista than connecting with the audience's soul.

Lauryn's songs were done in higher tempos that drained the soulfulness from them.

Surreal moment. Lauryn's mom to my right singing and smiling along with L-boogie as she sings about her grandson. Lauryn's oldest, double pumping his fists exclaiming "Hey she's singing my song", then bobbing his head, grinning. #forZion

...And then she brought her 6 beautiful children on-stage to massive applause. I may have teared up a lil'... tweetphoto.com/42008623

Ha!! As the kids came off the stage, after the Zion lovefest, Chris Rock says to them "no go clean your room!!" ha!!

OMG Lauryn Hill brought all of her kids on stage to sing To Zion and named them all. I'm so emotional right now.

Lauryn is doing the moonwalk and screaming. I'll take it.

Lauryn Hill just brought out Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Chris Rock and they're bowing to her.

Lauryn was amazing. High energy, gorgeous, just amazing! She opened w "Lost Ones" #rockthebells

Petra look closely at the picture of Lauryn and the kids. Her baby girl is in front of her, there are actually 7 kids on stage. The boy next to Selah and smallest boy are her brothers kids. Lauryn has 5 kids just as she stated in the NPR interview.

Back in the hotel. My boyfriend took good vidéos.
but I must say that I'm very disappointed. Her voice was raspy and her arrengement too rock for me! I saw her already two times and that was magic but not today. A lot of sound's problems too. I want her to play hip hop and not rock !!!! She was supposed to play miseducation
And no doo woop

READY OR NOT LONG VERSION www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zAiMne5vBU
ITS REALLY LAURYN PLAY A NEW SONG??? THANK

[sengun]

Her voice is raspy because she can't keep up with the fast arrangements. Why does she do this to herself??? The arrangements are amazing and cutting edge but she should just slow them down to suit her. I loved that her peers showed her real love and respect tho...

I'll say this - the sooner Lauryn focuses on new music that's when the real artistry will come out again. Every time I see these Mised performances it just seems she's just going through the motions and giving sped up lackluster performances. I think she knows that regardless of how she performs everyone will keep checking for her, cos she's Lauryn Hill.

The video of her sharing the stage with Mary J, Beyonce etc was bittersweet. It was bitter in that once upon a time she was bigger than all those artists and that video just illustrates how much she's missed out during her time away. It was sweet that they showed mad love and respect for her. I just laughed at the way she was calling them: "where's Jay? come on, come on, Its New York man!" "Swizz I can see you in the back, come on come on" She just funny - I love her to death!
