Ms Hill attempting the impossible

[supermoonface]

I have been thinking and I just don't see how Ms Hill can achieve her desires at scale.

A desire to be authentic for each show is admirable but not really feasible over a large number of shows certainly not to the level she seems to require.

The tours will continue to be poorly supported logistically as no record company will invest substantial money in her model.

If would be better to maybe to rethink - have a residency somewhere and rather than it be like a standard concert have it as an expirmental music workshop of Some sort with a show once every few months to show what she cooked up.

She might even be better off to open

up a coffee shop and just pop in when she feeling it for few songs.

Scale and authenticity are just not good bed fellows.

Everyone knows she won't compromise or we would likely have had a Fugees album and a solo album in 2005 when we were in a similar position with the I had walk video shot.

Problem is without compromise she won't get the financial backing to ensure touring at the scale she wants runs smoothly.

And carry on as is she will continue to run herself into the ground until something gives out.

All we see is a supposed cyclic nature but it seems to me like a very strong willed person running out of gas

Either a portion of the authenticity and immediacy has to go or the scale has to be reduced or I fear the worst.

OH MY GOD...God damn, leave this woman ALONE. I almost want this fan site shut down, like seriously. The amount of people who do NOTHING but criticize is INSANE. Between ridiculous threads like THIS one and the ones dealing with the illuminati, they are enough to dry up this site. NO ONE WILL BE COMING HERE. It's obvious it's not for you to SEE.

Don't worry about how she finances her projects. It's NOT YOUR CONCERN. Leave what she does IN HER HANDS. You have NO IDEA as to what she's negotiated. Jesus Christ! I am sick of seeing shit like this. Y'all pissing me off with this. Like someone else mentioned, I'm sure Lauryn comes on here sometimes and it would be nice if this could be a place where she isn't fkn criticized at every turn by people who supposedly are 'fans'.

I think you took this post the wrong way.

It wasn't meant to really come off critical.

There are a lot of people who push themselves beyond their own ability to cope. The bar they set for themselves is so high and their determination so strong that they just keep going no matter what.

I like that Lauryn didn't get pushed around and compromise on issues important to her. That's her agenda to stay true to herself. However the agenda of most music industry people is to make money. Agenda is probably too strong and the word goal would be more accurate.

If by chance Lauryn read my post (which I really doubt she would have time to do) I hope she would take away a reminder that it's ok to look after yourself first.

Apart from the nonsense about bloodlines which tbh belongs in a creative writing class I don't think it was a ad post.

What happens to the music industry people if she packs up and goes for a rest ? The prospect of dollars floats off to never never land.

What happens to her band / helpers ? They have to find new jobs.

What happens to the fans?

Nothing

I hope she does what she needs to for herself and isn't pulled to bits by a thousand different crows all wanting a bit. Nothing more. I would personally love it if she made Some more recordings and was happy and in plAce of sustainability to keep doing what she does.

The issue I was trying to illuminate was there is a natural tension between her stated goals and the actually practicality of been able to achieve them. Especially when you doing it mostly on your own.

I think you right though this isn't the place for me

I'll keep looking elsewhere for some kindred spirits

[supermoonface]

If anyone can pull it off Lauryn can I just don't want her to kill herself in the attempt

Plus AinA I think you been a bit hypocritical.

You had a lot of critisisms to offer about the hookup with the weeknd. Plus those very same posts you claim not to like didn't stop you entering into a prolonged shouting match with Oprah. Plus when you didn't get your way you ran off with your ball and created a new forum so you could be queen.

I don't normally go for the person just the argument but am pissed off now !

I need to get back to the reason I came here.

To be around people who appreciate MLH music. That's all am going to do. No
More discussions about contentious subjects or attempts to broaden possibilities, no more attempts to balance viewpoints I think are harmful. I am simply here as a consumer. I will only comment if it relates to MLH music and I have something positive to say.

You only messaged me the other day to state - there is no negativity it's all just different opinions and now you having a giant biaaat** fit. Get a god damn grip it's not LAs world

[supermoonface]

Tbh I say stupid things when I get upset and my head is deffo hot.

I can't even remember if it was you or Oprah that started the other forum.

Everybody changing their names is confusing.

Anyhow am sticking to my new algorythem

Firstly, the site is not about the Weeknd. It's about Lauryn. If it was about the Weeknd and if I was a fan of his, I'd say the same thing, but it's not. I don't mind criticizing sellouts. No, I didn't criticize the hook up, I was curious as to why they hooked up because the Weeknd is not my cup of tea, but I said it was her decision.

I care not that you are pissed, people need to stop criticizing LAURYN about every little thing, especially when you don't know all the details about the subject you are attempting to criticize. I am sick of seeing these kinds of threads.

I have not created any such forum, that would be OPRAH.

If you're concerned about her health, then state something along those lines, instead of trying to dissect what she's doing and not knowing all there is to know about it and then suggesting she do such and such. Sure, we all hope she's getting enough rest and taking care of herself properly.

I didn't message you. Get it together lol. There is a difference between criticizing and offering constructive critique. All of these threads lately have been nothing but criticism.

Well it's done now - it was a nobby post I'll give ya that - over it ?

LMAO looks like AinA is scared of discussions. I bet AinA dos not take consctructive criticism very well. Sound like a person who freaks out real fast and very afraid to hear what people have to say.

ummm have you seen my posts?? I didn't think so.

Constructive critique is different from sheer criticism.
