Now THIS is the Lauryn I wanted to see and hear. She clearly was amazing, especially on the 'Ready Or Not' performance. And that she is toning it down in the wardrobe department and connecting more with her audience must indicate something: "we're getting closer." ;D I'm just waiting for someone to finally upload her performance of "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" (title song). That would make my day.

the same night, 3st of september, Wyclef gave a show in florida. "We also learned that Wyclef still misses the Fugees. Backed by a nine-person band including an effervescent back-up singer, Wyclef started the show with his verse from "Ready or Not". At another point -- before jumping into "Fu-Gee-La" -- he informed us: "Lauryn Hill is right now at Rock the Bells in New York," which seemed a little strange considering that Lauryn Hill probably wasn't busy pinpointing Wyclef's location that night.

He's probably the biggest Fugees fan out there. But I hope that if they reunite, he and Lauryn will settle their differences about production, because that's the only way it's going to work. From what I remember, Lauryn wanted to produce some music, and Clef wasn't feeling it. Some say he was jealous of her, but I've heard most of Ms. Hill's self-produced songs, and they sounded closer to R&B than Hip-Hop. Maybe that's why.

Live Live: Lauryn Hill Gives Her Debut A Makeover At Rock The Bells By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Tue., Sep. 6 2011 at 8:00 AM Rock The Bells: Ms. Lauryn Hill Governors Island Saturday, September 3 Better than: Lauryn Hill's performance at Rock the Bells last year. Creating a classic album is a double-edged sword. Fans expect its songs to be performed the same way in perpetuity, regardless of how the artist's musical and personal state have altered since recording. This is just one of the trials that has plagued Lauryn Hill's career since her debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out in 1998. To say that Hill has changed over the years is an understatement; only a husk of the girl next door from New Jersey, whose lyrical dexterity breezed effortlessly between sweet harmonies and a venomous flow that could put any male emcee to shame, remains. This can be chalked up in part to the passage of time; Miseducation was released over a decade ago. (The inspiration behind the heartfelt "To Zion" is now a teenager.) Despite the overwhelming evidence—being notoriously late for concerts, garish makeup, tiffs with former Fugees members, that on-again-off-again relationship with Marley scion Rohan—that they should maybe raise the white flag, loyalists remain steadfast that the singer/rapper will one day regain her former glory. The realist in me knows that this is a pipe dream, especially after witnessing firsthand her frenetic and off-key live performance at Rock the Bells 2010, but color me hip-hop optimistic; I (desperately) wanted to give the beleaguered artist another chance at redemption this year. After catching formidable sets from hip-hop elders Mobb Deep and Erykah Badu, as well as a set from buzzy newcomers Fashawn, Blu & Exile, the artist billed as "Ms. Lauryn Hill" took the stage. (She, notably, started near her scheduled set time.) As promised, she performed the majority of Miseduction in tracklist order against a projection that flashed Technicolor hues, nature-inspired kaleidoscopic images and other eye candy. To the crowd's dismay, most of the songs were rendered completely unrecognizable by experimental, uptempo arrangements; these sorts of revamps have been the norm for her live shows of late, and it's unclear whether she's reworking her songs in such a way because she can't perform her old repertoire or simply because she chooses not to. Hill's flow throughout was awkwardly fast, making her sound as if she were rushing to finish and catch the next ferry out of Dodge. A mystical flute that could have summoned Enya introduced what used to be the banger "Fu-Gee-La," while the once-irresistible "Doo Wop (That Thing)" was given a choppy staccato makeover. The revamps proved so distracting that they took away from the fact that Hill's voice actually sounded decent on occasion. Groans and snickers littered the audience; during her Speedy Gonzalez version of "Ex-Factor," a beer can was chucked toward the stage and hit me in the leg. We all manifest our anger differently, I suppose. The set's saving grace came from a very unexpected source. Fellow Fugees member Pras—who has had a notoriously strained relationship with Hill for years—jumped on stage at the end and goaded her to perform cuts from the band's 1996 album The Score. "This is how Fugees do it. They just show up!" Hill proclaimed, clearly not thrilled. Nostalgia swept over the crowd while the pair reprised quasi-identifiable renditions of "Ready or Not" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" somewhat mitigating the past hour's frustration and confusion. In that brief moment, the crowd got to see some semblance of the old Lauryn Hill. Critical bias: "Ex-Factor" is still my favorite breakup song, even after the beer-throwing incident. Overheard: "Get me off this island!"—concertgoer lamenting the hour-plus wait to board the ferry and leave following the show. Random notebook dump: On a scale of plausible to Detox coming out, what are the chances of a full Fugees reunion in our lifetime? Set list:
Lost Ones Ex-Factor To Zion Doo Wop (That Thing) Superstar Final Hour When It Hurts So Bad I Used To Love Him Forgive Them Father Everything Is Everything Fu-Gee-La Ready or Not Killing Me Softly blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2011/09/lauryn_hill_rock_the_bells_pras_september_3.php

Lauryn Hill performs on stage with Fugee bandmate Lauryn Hill has paved the way for a full Fugees reunion after reuniting with former bandmate Pras Michel at a music festival in New York. The Everything is Everything singer/rapper was one of the headline acts at the Big Apple leg of the Rock the Bells festival on Saturday and she performed the whole of her classic album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Hill was unhappy about the sound quality throughout the gig and stopped during songs to speak with technicians, causing fans to grow restless. The audience was very excited when she introduced her Fugees friend Michel to the stage mideay through a performance of Fu-Gee-La, showing their affection by huggin at the end. Michel congratualated Hill on the birth of her sixth child and Hill sais of her pal's surprised appearance: "They just turn up! That's how the Fugees do!" They went on to sing Ready Or Not and closed with Killing Me Softly. The incredibly private Hill even brought her kids out onto the stage to wave to the crowd. This is the first appearance of the Fugees stars together since 2006, where the trio with Wyclef Jean split for the second time, two years after regrouping. At the time of the break up it was claimed that Hill needed psychiatric help by cousins Michel and Jean - but the Ghetto Superstar hitmaker and Hill seem to be over their problems now. Other Rock the Bells acts included soul icon Erykah Badu, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill and Nas, who brought Hill back to the stage later that night for their collaboration If I Ruled the World (Imagine That), which served as the event finale. www.femalefirst.co.uk/music/musicnews/Lauryn+Hill+performs+Fugees-98776.html
