“The singer was presented last night at the Movistar Arena….Lauryn Hill knows how to find each time a new form of inconvenience to the public. For her visit in 2002, reggae festival ‘Natural Mystique’ at the National Stadium, went on singing and guitar just half a dozen songs and last night in her return to Santiago was made to wait an hour and 39 minutes flat before leaving the scene of Movistar Arena, but this time to please the audience with a show of greatest hits. Unlike her debut eight years ago, the singer came to adjust the debt of playing live songs from her stunning debut album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ (1998). Of course, she lived up to her reputation as a diva. Apart from the delay in the start of the show, first put to work in a DJ who took too long in warming up and ended up being hated by about five thousand people who were already eager to see the singer. After starting her list of songs with hits like ‘Lost Ones’, ‘When it hurts so bad’ and ‘X factor’, at the end of this year, Hill had already excited the audience with the power of her voice and was expected to the end of the show topped with proven hits her previous band, The Fugees, so definitely tip the balance toward nostalgia.”

“…with little promotion, recently returned to the stage, without a new album under her arm and with a history of eight years ago at the National, Lauryn Hill is presented on the site of Parque O'Higgins half full… her dj and band, warm up with classics…while Miss Hill and her backup singers go on stage. They come clad in black outfits and Adidas jackets, while Lauryn Hill looks out in a black Mapuche poncho and a handkerchief in her hand. Initially quoted at 21.00 hrs, after an hour and a half delay, L.Boggie fans began a scene which eaches a crescendo where musicians were allowed to start the rap of ‘Lost Ones’…we have no certainty to see our Lauryn: Youth, Social criticism and elegant, sophisticated arrangements and melodic singing r & b…Hill sang ‘Lost Ones’ continues with ‘When It Hurts So Bad’, ‘Ex-Factor’ and ‘To Zion ‘ - a couple of covers of Bob Marley – ‘Turn Your Lights Down Low’ and ‘Zimbabwe’ - and the big hits of The Fugees. What we have is a list of songs with arrangements that are unrecognizable and in a nervous haste…which re-enact the decades of sweat committed by the courts Motown…stage performers as Tina Turner or James Brown. Neither intimacy or warmth draws a show overwhelming in its power, because today the proposal of Lauryn Hill is far from the cadence associated with Rhythm and Blues, opting for the speed and intensity of urgent rap and even hard rock…With the exception of the song ‘Forgive Them Father’…Half the review of The Fugees concert begins with ‘How Many Mics,’ but it is not until’ Fu-Gee-La’ that the public finally submitted the proposal quickly and rushed to Hill’s offering, humming what they expected to see. Finally all support the purposes of jumps of strong riffs and sing the chorus (even with some anger in ‘Killing me Softly’ with rap and no ballad), which ends after an encore with ’Doo Wop (That Thing)’ gunned down in the verses…So after a scheduled return to the stage, delayed start of an hour and twenty minutes, with the public tired of standing, asking for more and yet not be removed at any lights….Hill suddenly appears. When the musicians began to dismount and give away souvenirs and clear all: You had to see it for yourself what it the return of Lauryn Hill was.”
