Lauryn Hill, former darling of the music world, killed her audience softly at a performance in Oakland Wednesday. Some of the arrangements of her new songs and the delivery of her old ones were so bad she was met with boos, and many concert-goers got up and requested refunds. Oh, and apparently she didn’t help matters by looking and acting completely insane.
Her hair in an unkempt rust-colored Afro, Hill wore a green-and-yellow plaid jacket that appeared to be made of wool and an ankle-length black skirt, looking not unlike a bag lady one might encounter at a taco truck on International Boulevard. She held a microphone in her right hand and a black handkerchief in her left, frequently wiping sweat from her face as she paced the stage.
At one point during the show, the singer tripped and fell, landing flat on her backside. “That’s what I get for wearing high heels,” she said as she rose to her feet.
According to a reviewer in the San Francisco Chronicle, the former Fugees singer’s voiced cracked so often she sounded like a shell of her old self. It sounds like the most depressing concert ever.

Yes! I heard about this. I was at a coffee shop and this sista was like “that b*tch kept fallin out on the floor. It was wack.” LOL. I heard that the show started 1.5 hours late and then there was another 1.5 hours between the opening act and Lauryn??? My homegirl said she looked high, but that’s just somebody talking. Who knows???

“looking not unlike a bag lady one might encounter at a taco truck on International Boulevard.”
It just took a lot out of me to not burst out laughing at work after reading that.
I miss our Lauryn… I really do. She will be doing a free concert in Brooklyn this summer. I weep.
Where does one go to acquire the threads that these eccentric folk wear? Like where was she when she decided, “Oh, this is going to be hott. I’ll be killin them onstage with this!!” Like really? I feel like you have to have a “stylist” to put these wierd combinations together. The sh*t just looks pure tacky. Oh, and Pras still wishes he was doing shows. GHETTO SUPASTAR! haha
you have to admit that the way the light is hitting her fro is kinda fly though. hahaha
WTF?!
Seeing Lauryn like this makes me want to cry. She was my idol and said the things I wanted to say. Hell, “Do-Wop (That Thing)” is my theme song.
*sighs* Oh Lauryn. It’s silly when girls lose their minds because their scared.
Sorry, THEY’RE scared.
