“The expectation was big and slow to move on to reality: Lauryn Hill, the diva of soul and hip- hop, hit the stage at Commerce Square , Lisbon…brown hat , her hair long and black eye makeup , the former lead singer of The Fugees made the party, but asked several times to control the resonance of your microphone. Voice rougher than at the time the multi released their album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' (1998)…nevertheless, gave a passing emotion and show respect, before an audience into delirium and receptive the new tones that the artist gave his big hits. Despite the late hour, the energy was contagious from the start with a boot that went through 'Lost Ones’, ‘X -Factor' (a much more aggressive version) and 'When It Hurts So Bad'…after the first medley of songs, Lauryn Hill expressed concern with riots in the front rows and asked the security to intervene, 'Stop already with this, there are women in the audience' he exclaimed. The artist, who showed some vocal fatigue, still managed to show that it is able to reach the higher notes, including one of the most interesting of the night: ' Forgive Them Father"…Lauryn Hill delivered 'Fu -Gee -La', 'Ready or Not' and a powerful version of 'Killing Me Softly'…The perfect encore, 'Turn Your Lights Down Low', and to remember Bob Marley, 'Doo Wop (That Thing )'.”

“It took several years to finally hear Lauryn Hill and in Portugal, yesterday, the public had to wait several hours to hear the author of 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'. But an audience that filled the Square Trade, was worth it…the stage was clear for Ms Lauryn Hill…who exhibited in the very first song, 'Lost Ones', the style that would dominate the night. 'When It Hurts So Bad' appeared almost unrecognizable under the new arrangements. The two guitars, two basses and drums almost drowned at the beginning, the most anticipated speech of the night. But this was the attitude that Hill wanted to keep during the concert: strong and wild.Those who recalled from Lauryn Hill's album 'The Miseducation ...' may have been disappointed with this start. A feeling that probably started to change with the effective version of 'Ex Factor' and the interpretation of 'Zimbabwe' by Bob Marley. Soon afterwards, the pace slowed slightly and was with the delicate 'To Zion' and 'Just Like Water'…After a less happy version of 'Forgive Them Father,' Lauryn Hill asked: 'Can we take it back?.' The theme was perfect for a return to the Fugees, and Hill was time to L-Boogie, which began in accelerated mode with 'How Many Mics'. By the middle of hip-hop classics 'Fu-Gee-La' or 'Ready Or Not' (the highest moments in terms of enthusiasm of the audience), there was still time for a version of 'I Only Have Eyes For You', the song sampled from 'Zealots' which is heard immediately. 'Killing Me Softly' announced the end of the concert...In the encore, 'Turn Your Lights Down Low' and 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' was the ideal end to a night that most first heard live songs that defined an era musically. And many of them must have left with one certainty: Ms Lauryn Hill is back.”
