Thanks for that. I've been waiting for such a long time for her to bless us with her words of truth. A televised interview is just what we need so the rumours and misconceptions can be finally cleared up.
Although when I saw it on YouTube I was angry to see that people were concentrating more on what she was wearing and her make-up but I guess it just shows how shallow people are, which is why they cant receive her message. But anyways I look forward to hearing more from Miss Hill, and I'm glad shes not letting these haters get the best of her....rock on!

...Oh ok, looks like Wycelf has jumped on the banwagon, like Pras, hating on Lauryn. And to be honest I'm dissapointed in Wycelf cause saying stuff like that will not help his new album 'The Carnival 2' sell better, in fact it will probably be a flop like his last album. I had the chance of seeing the Fugees back in 2005 in London but I'm not sure if I want them to reform anymore, because I'm starting to see what she was saying back in that Trace interview a few years back stating that she felt that there was a conspiracy to control and maniuplate her whilst she was in the Fugees. Sorry to say this but her greatness is to big for the fugees, she was always the star, but now her star is too bright for the group who want to shun her! I love your writing...it's absolutely spot on. I love the fugees, like when Lauryn said 'there was a purpose and a meaning' to the music they did together. Unfortunately there may not be a purpose anymore with three of them as a group. It doesn't help when you hear Clef basically saying crap about his past-bandmate and Pras stating there never will be a reunion. Now Lauryn basically gives us that she won't rule out anything. It's plain to see who is the most genuine and honest here...you've gotta be stupid not to figure that out. What Lauryn said in the interview cleared everything up for me. You could see when that woman told her in the interview that Pras said the reunion of the fugees was over shocked and surprised her. She could have blasted Pras back but she didnt because she has intergrity, something which is obviously devoid of her two bandmates. Some people are going to hate me for saying this but they are dried up has beens, and they have become angry and bitter because they know although they will not admit that there musical success lies on Lauryn's shoulders!

Karma point jamesbarber4,for talking bullshit! Pras started the group...he invited Lauryn...end of discusion! I know its hard for you to accept the truth, but face it its over for Pras...so what if he was the one who invited her into the group, thats old news, and to be honest thats his only one claim to fame. I'll admit he's released more albums in recent times but who bought the last one and who can name it cause I dont know anyone who can, and the same goes for Wycelf. Having seen the Fugees a couple years back I will say that I think Wycelf is mad talented, but I really cant say the same for Pras, he just stood in the backgorund and then disappeared onto the decks cause he knows he doesnt have the same stage presence as Lauryn and Wycelf. I say his career is straight dead cause no one will ever take him seriously as a rapper, well not solo, and the songs he has released with the exception of 'Ghetto Superstar' 10 years ago just doesnt cut it! So before you start acussing me of talking bullshit check your own argument cause its weak.

The only thing thats straight dead is Pras Career! oh really?how's that? Yeah I said it and I'll say it again Pras career is dead! It pissed me off when I heard him say that and what he said about her on that E programme. He's painfully desperate for exposure that he's willing to go on national television and blast the woman who made him famous. Despite whether your a Pras fan or not no one can deny that he wouldn't have made his millions without Lauryn or has half the amount of talent that she has. He's like the Michelle of Destinys child, no one cares about him, 'Ghetto superstar' was onyl successful because he was riding on the success of the Fugees. And that is why whenever he is interviewed people only ask him about the Fugees reuniting. Whatever you think about Lauryn people are eager to hear a follow-up record from The Miseducation. Even the thousands and millions of people who slate her prove that people are still intrigued by her, there still interested, and thats because there is only one Lauryn Hill!

i dont like ordering stuff of the net its on the hmv website, ill check the store tomorrow I've been looking out for this CD for the past 2 years, but everytime I asked in the shops they said they didn't have it. But since you said it was on the HMV website I took a look and found it so I've just placed my order. I should be getting it within the next couple of days. I don't usually like buying things online but I think this is a very hard and rare ablum to get hold of!

oh.. here in brazil most people dind't like her concert..... I believe people here from brazil were waiting for the same songs of the album, the same versions. But she came better than this, with an incredable band.... but peoples still didn't like it. they wanted the old LH. Well back in London I saw her in 2005, and later on that year with Fugees and I must say alot of people wanted to see the old Lauryn. But the thing is shes grown and evolved a great deal since the miseducation, which was released nearly ten years ago. I too loved her during that era but I'm also excited to see what new flava going to be coming with in 2008 hopefully when the album drops!

It took me a couple of days to digest all the negative comments on Lauryn performance in oakland. Unfortunately Lauryn may have had a bad night but it discourage me that after all these years Lauryn has been exiled from the music scene and everyone anxiuously waiting for her comeback they actually treated her this way. It turns my stomach that everytime she performs in the USA she gets all these negative reviews but when she goes abroad eveyone seems to still love her and her new expression. If Lauryn doesn't ever make another album again she has change people lives with just two albums. I personally know people who have listen to Zion and decided to keep thier child and actually got out of abusive relationships after listening to Ex Factor. And couples who actually got back together and got married from listening to the unplugged album. And myself who actually left a dead end job to become successful in a new career that i only dreamed of at one point in my life and just for that i'm forever grateful to LAURYN HILL ! Her albums are still healing people and waking up the uncouncious to become concious and rightious people, now thats power. I'm from London and I've noticed that all the American reviews tend to be really negative. I think she's better received in Europe and across the world because people are more open minded and receptive to her artistry. I know in London theres a real vibrancy in relation to the type of music surfacing, and doing well in America, i.e Amy winehouse, Artic Monkeys, Lilly Allen, the Klaxons, Natasha Beddingfield, James Blunt etc. People are allowed to experiement much more in the UK. But its like if you black artist in America you have to stick to RNB or Hip Hop, Lauryn can of course do all of these genres but she can do so much more, as she says she cant fit into a stereotypical identity, so people need to stop trying to put her into a box. But America won't allow her the creative freedom to step outside the box, pick up a guitar and do her thing. Her new album might not sell well in America, but I'm confident it will be well recieved in Europe!

Thanks for posting this video, the interludes with the Lauryn Hill interview sent chills up my spine. I've been eagerly awaiting her return to the music scene, but equally I can understand why she chose to exit. But thank you for setting up this campaign, and I hope it forces Columbia to finally take some action.
My only request is that if you upload the interview fully onto YouTube, people need to her truth, uncensored!

Yeah I'm sure there is some sort of relationship going on because she's had four children with him. But come on if your married with someone and you've got four kids with someone why would you say your single, yeah it may be down to default but MySpace is really not that hard to use. And lets be honest Lauryn has always had bad luck with men, Wyclef was the one she really loved but he was married at the time so she hocked up with Rohan Marley to make him jealous and then got pregnant. They have been together for a long time since but insiders say there relationship has always been on and off, apparently he even cheated on her with her hairstylist but I'm not suprised by that, I mean he's a Marley, women throw themselves at them. And as for Lauryn I heard she had a little fling with the Spiritual advisor Brother Anthony....If you don't believe me and think I'm fabricating things read the words to 'Adam lives in theory', www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Adam-Lives-in-Theory-lyrics-Lauryn-Hill/E99E1DAA9955D15948256BCF00161D58 and then you'll see what I'm talking about!

I've been hearing she still married to that Look Lauryn is not married, and I've got the proff. Here is a link To Rohan Marley's official MySpace page: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=49621617 which is accidetally found. And yes this is his offical page, he says he's single, which I was shocked by, but why would he lie. And when you think about when you here most of Lauryn new material she always talks about her need to be loved, [real love] that she obviously didn't get from Rohan Marley!

Yeah I like the sound of that, you know what I think would be even better if she had an extra CD of that documentary shes been shooting, 'to be young black and gifted', in like a special edition. Apparently its all about her life, in which I'm sure she'll probably explain her metoric rise to fame and her subsequent withdrawal from the spotlight and she can put the record straight, oh and maybe she might release the middle man book around this time, that would be my ideal senario!
