She looks amazing. Although I know what the blogs are going to say. People are still complaining about her changing the arrangements, but the real problem is people not being open to embracing change!

I agree people need to be more open BUT even if they don't she'll always have REAL fans come out to see her  |

People are still complaining about her changing the arrangements, but the real problem is people not being open to embracing change! Yeah, she does look great, and all the complaining is getting old. If people don't want to get with how Lauryn is flowing right now, they need to stop going out to the concerts to just spectate and not participate, stay your a** at home. And those bloggers, just a bunch of gossip mongers. I know if they're lying on Lauryn, they're lying on other celebrities, so I stop reading them. |

This is my favorite part of the whole Sundance concert. She kicked people OUT of the concert!!! YES!!! Thatta a girl!!  Often called America’s best ever female rapper, Lauryn Hill got no respect from a group of self-important VIP’s at a concert on the sidelines of the Sundance Film Festival Wednesday night. So Hill, who is known for not mincing her words, asked her security to remove the people and their roped-off, Very Important Person section that was set-up just meters from the stage. As she performed the latest concert on a current small tour — a comeback of sorts after a hiatus from the music scene — she had to contend with the VIPs, whoever they were, as they mostly ignored her set, often with their backs to the stage while swilling champagne and at times blocking the view of and distracting ticket-paying concertgoers. For the record, Hill’s show was not affiliated with the festival itself, but was just one of many performances set up by party and corporate promoters that Sundance has long battled. For years, the sort of circus atmosphere created by the marketers has irked Sundance’s backers, including Robert Redford. While there is little Sundance can do about private enterprise at work, there was plenty that Ms. Hill (as she apparently likes to be called) could do about the rowdy crew in the velvet-rope section. In fact, she asked her security “to move the crowd, you understand me?”. Bravely she carried on despite the strange set-up, playing new versions of her songs from the Grammy-winning “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” and finishing with the Fugees’ “Ready or Not,” “Killing Me Softly,” and “Doo Wop (That Thing) We note that many other music events taking place outside the festival, such as Cee-Lo Green performing at the Bing Bar, were tastefully done, albeit invitation only. And in a struggling music industry where singers must find new ways to make money, many singers in recent years all over the country – from Jewel to Rufus Wainwright — now perform private sponsored events to rude crowds who turn out for the sponsors, free booze and party. (Another note: earlier in her career, Ms. Hill often complained about the corporate demands of the music industry and the compromises they placed on artistic integrity). But when a ticket-paying public and even performers on stage have to contend with roped off sections of rowdy VIPs who got in free, we wonder what is the future of live concerts? |

I swear she is the modern day Nina Simone! When she dies she will be more popular and appreciated than she is now. It's sad really  |

People say the concert was amazing. You just have to smile at these reviewers. Its more in what they are not saying than in what they are saying. If she had not performed you definitely would be reading about it. They are doing everything in their power not to acknowledge her greatness. Love Ms Hill!!!!

You know I've come to realise that people will always find fault with her no matter what she does - first it was the tardiness, next the rearranged songs and now that they've gotten over that they're going at her for her style! lol. Damn bloggers will always find reason to hate. Here's an article explaining the "crazy" make-up. Apparently she's at the cutting edge of new fashion trends. www.bellasugar.com.au/Ex-Fugees-Frontwoman-Lauryn-Hills-Takes-1970s-Disco-Trend-Utah-13509483I don't think she randomly puts things together - its all thought out - apparently |

This is all so old. Lol. At least this one sounded complimentary. I read a blog earlier today that said, "Lauryn and her 'crazy' fur." Now, I had not idea that wearing fur (or the fur itself...lol) was "crazy." Especially in Utah...in January. Lol.
I agree. I don't think Lauryn is random with much, unless that means doing what she wants to do and dressing the way she likes. Lol.
With each outfit though, I think back to her 2006 feature in Essence when she basically said that she felt her style has been hijacked and that she did not appreciate it. I wonder sometimes if that has anything to do with her style of dress (not that she didn't always dress different from everybody else) as a way to make sure it doesn't happen again. I don't know. Just a thought.

I think it's all thought out too and I hope that she doesn't have to put up with that disrespectful bull again seriously! Yea bloggers always complain about something but they can't touch Ms. Hill! She's always on point and she does exactly what she wants to do and I absolutely love that about her! Kudos!

Here is an eye witness account of the VIP situation as posted on perezhilton. Why did I know he would pick this story up and put his little spin to it. "First of all I was there!! And she asked Security to do something about the VIP table because they were so drunk and out of hand it was distracting to others. We came to see Lauryn Hill not the VIP table fight and take shots! The show was actually really good! Maybe you should have seen it for yourself Perez instead of talking shit every chance you get. I thought you were done with that? You just lost a loyal fan of your website." |
