What a beautiful appearance ! Love it. She looks a little sick, this is the only negative thing in the performance.
Some people say her voice has changed. Yes it has changed, but she still beautiful. She has not loose her voice, she grows old: on The Miseducation, she was 23 years old, now 37. A voice changes with time and her voice is still gorgeous.
Listen to Michael Jackson's Thriller and his las album Invincible: Jackson voice on this 2 album are very different. On Invincible, he has a gravelly voice, masts. On Thriller, we hear a very young, angelic voice. It's 2 voices of a same man, but 2 gorgeous voices.

On the US East coast it is set to air at 11:35 pm, which I think is 5:35am in Paris France. Ah ok now i understand why it's called "The late show" ^^ So about Sony: I don't think Sony forced Lauryn to make this appearance. Indeed, in my opinion, CBS talked to Sony about a tribute to the Beatles; Sony has seen this tribute as a medium to put Lauryn in the highlights, before a release of a new song. I don't say it's pure business: it's fully possible that Ms Hill likes the Beatle. I think her musical culture is very big, bigger than Bob Marley + Stevie Wonder + Roberta Flack. Talented artists have big musical culture

Lol it's also a good point of view, the reaction you described is also the paradox of the story of this album: there are recorded songs, some little informations, a contract between Lauryn and Sony, but no official announcement of an album. But for me it's clear: the work looks like finished (songs recorded and finished, ...), there are no new concerts announced after February 15th ( = The Homecoming series are finished = a new project will come after), there is more activity on the official Facebook page: in my mind, conditions for a new album release in the next months are combined. I said in March, but I really think last week of March, or april. Wait and see Maybe you are right because now she is doing this Letterman appearance. lol Yes, Letterman, Black Rage (a new song recorded for the upcoming album) performed yesterday with new arrangment (and we don't know the other songs played: Consumerism ? Neurotic Society ?), still no new concerts after February 15th... More signs PS: in my last post, i have written "the reaction you described" but it was "the Situation you described"... excuse me i'm french ^^

Yes she performed on Jimmy Fallon but it was a Bob Marley tribute, it was normal because she makes lots of Bob Marley covers in concerts. But the Beatles... it's pretty new in her repertoire ^^ Edit: what's Lauryn will talk about (if there will be an interview) and what she will sing (Beatles song + one of her songs ?) will be interesting. If there will be an interview, she can use it to announce new materiel

No way I believe an album is coming in March. lol Her lips said soon, but her eyes didn't quite agree. lol On the bright side, she does seem serious about releasing something this time. Lol it's also a good point of view, the reaction you described is also the paradox of the story of this album: there are recorded songs, some little informations, a contract between Lauryn and Sony, but no official announcement of an album. But for me it's clear: the work looks like finished (songs recorded and finished, ...), there are no new concerts announced after February 15th ( = The Homecoming series are finished = a new project will come after), there is more activity on the official Facebook page: in my mind, conditions for a new album release in the next months are combined.

This arrangment for Final Hour is very cool ! but Consumerism, Guarding the Gates were not on setlist ?
About the album, it looks like all is planned. So, there are no new concerts after February 15th (except un July). I think the new album will be released in march, with the first single in second half february.

The only rotten thing in this video is the number of views: only 15 000 in 24 hours...

You have no idea how happy I am she released this performance. You can tell she was really feeling this number. I don't think it's bad news that she had been releasing videos from this performance I think she is using these videos as a means to get her name back out there. The Ex-Factor video showed off her singing side while the Final Hour performance is showing off her rapping (In my opinion). Also I don't think she is using her VEVO account because she has more freedom with her own personal account. In short, I do think she has a plan as far as releasing new material. She has been a lot more consistent over these past two years when it comes to new songs (Black Rage, Neurotic Society, and Consumerism were released in about 7 month intervals) and she has been performing rare songs during her recent shows (Mr. Intentional, Guarding the Gates, and Damnable Heresies). Lets just hope that now that all of her legal business is behind her she can get back to the music scene the way she wants to. Yes, you're right. More consistent yes... But Black Rage was announced as first single in end 2012: we still waiting. Like other european fans, i first want new studio recordings... because we can only see Lauryn in concerts one night every 4 or 5 years ^^ but it's true that this video is cool ! a good surprise. The only thing i don't like with Lauryn and the staff is the communication. Yes, i know her life is the definition of discretion, her privacy is not why we are here. But professionally, we know nothing, the wait is too long. Yes, also, there are big improvements with the lyrics of songs, meanings of songs. But the wait of public is very big for this album, and we only know the name: Letters from exile. No dates of release, no songs confirmed, no-thing. I have difficulties to hide my impatience ^^

Good performance ! like it. But for me, it's not a good news for the upcoming album for 2 reasons: 1) Looks like Lauryn's staff releases live videos for keep waiting the album: still no news about "Letters from exile" but there are this videos.. 2) Her staff does't use the VEVO account but a personnal account to release this videos... hope there is no disagreement anywhere but it's strange

I wonder why there haven't been many pics or videos of her recent concerts lately. Considering that her voice has been in excellent form and she has been performing a lot of rare and unreleased material during her Homecoming Tour you would think people would be busting out there phones and recording lol. Oh we'll hopefully some vids will pop up soon. Mmm.... M aybe. It's so true that her voice is very beautiful. But i think the first reason to the lack of videos and pics is the crowd: i don't think there are tons of people in the crowd of this concerts. In this last days i have seen on a concert hall website the occupancy of crowd and it was not full. I think it's reliable to the size of concert hall (not big) and price of tickets (75 dollars minimum).

Good ! But i don't understand her strategy... She had an upcoming album, almost ready (recording finished, mixing finished in late 2013) et she performed in this concert lots of covers and no "new songs" (Neurotic society, Consumerism, Black rage...) ?
