Hot Shots: Lauryn Hill Struggles At Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Published: Saturday 16th Apr 2011 by Trent

A new album from Lauryn Hill may not be a good idea after all. The singer delivered yet another disappointing performance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in California yesterday, struggling to sing her classic material which she distorted with new arrangements.

See more images of Hill below:

What do you think of the pics?

  2. UGh April 16, 2011

    since she’s been back on the scene she comes off as rude and disrespectful to her fans (i’m not a fan). with that said i don’t care for her.

    Yeah, Lauryn has been a bit too crackish lately and her recent live performances has been s***! I’m a fan and was rooting for her but I think it’s safe to say that she’s done. Damnit Nicki Minaj… These rap chicks are making it too easy for you.

    @LOL you took the words right outta my mouth. glad to see ppl still keep it 100!

  10. whaaaat April 16, 2011

    I can’t believe you idiots really are disrespecting Ms. Hill like that??? First of all ya’ll don’t know s*** about music!!! She has not lost, fell behind, stumbled, messed up anything. She has amazing control and range in not only her voice but also the crowd control and controlling the band at the same time. If you aren’t satisfied with her stage performance because she didn’t sing the songs exactly like it was recorded because WE all have already heard her sing them in that perfect cookie cutter way it was presented on the CD and at many other concerts over the years and years and yearsss. As a true artist, she can express her OWN music through new interpretations as she has in her recreation of her classic masterpieces on stage as much as she like when ever she feels its right. And if you are a true Lauryn Hill fan you would respect and appreciate her for the incredible icon that she is. They come like her no more. PLease give her, her due respect! Peace.

    @Taylor swifts number 1 fan, or whoever the f*** posted that first comment needs to sit your dumb ass all the way down. Lauryn is a QUEEN.

    It’s just unfortunate that she has to be out here ruining her rep with all these terrible performances.

  12. sdsijsidj April 16, 2011

    SOME TIMES PEOPLE SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT BE…..Why the need for a come back…..why not leave when things are still great….DID SHE SPEND ALL HER MONEY…HMMM

  13. DRB April 16, 2011

    Umm no. Hoarse and mic issues, she was great. I’d rather she re-arrange them then do the the same way for 13 years

  14. LaLa April 16, 2011

    Just Pics without the damn Video??! what a fair judgment right? lmao

  15. MJSTAN April 16, 2011

    I MEAN THE MISEDUCATION IS SUCH AN ALL TIME CLASSIC AND IS OFTEN RECONGNIZED AS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST IMPACTFUL ALBUMS OF ALL TIME, SHE WILL FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TOP THAT AND IF SHE FAILS IT WIILL MESS UP HER NAME SO DONT COME BACK UNTIL U GET UR ISH TOGETHER WE STILL GOT FAITH IN U

  19. yaaaasss April 16, 2011

    um, maybe some video evidence would be helpful to us. You can’t just post your b******* opinion and expect ppl to just accept it. Evidence or it didn’t happen >.>

  20. The Life Size Bobble Head Formally Known As Rhitard The Goat April 16, 2011

    Anyways, I just dont understand y she is comin bac in dis industry and tarnishing her legacy. ExFactor is da F***** best breakup song of all time- Its my f***** favorite!!!!!

  21. MAZ April 16, 2011

    SO YOU JUDGE A PERFORMANCE JUST BY PHOTOS!

    WOW IMPRESSIVE!

  22. dc thats me April 16, 2011

    That’s one HOT TAIL MESS.

    Ms. Hill, Please take a note from Whitney & GIVE IT UP!

  23. mr pants April 16, 2011

    Saw her yesterday. She KILLED. Was the writer there?

  24. anonymo April 16, 2011

    OK, people need to check out the full LIVE performance (yes live NOT studio) before passing judgement. I stayed awake to watch this live on youtube and I enjoyed every minute of it. Ms Lauryn Hill was and still is on the top of her game, she doesn’t need approval from those who consider the crap from Minaj, GaGa etc. as revolutionary music!

  25. Anthony April 16, 2011

    Oh my, she has been a disappointment since trying to make a comeback. I think fame and much talk of people wanting her to release a new album has gone to her head. I think she needs a ego and reality check.

  26. KaVion April 16, 2011

    LAURYN<3

    The real QUEEN of Hip-Hop!
    It bothers me that people gave a s** icon, Lil Kim, the title of queen when he have this 5x Grammy winner. No offense to Kim..

  27. Dilla April 16, 2011

    @Lol, *sigh* as I stated, I am a Lauyn Hill fan but that does not exempt her from the truth. I am also NOT a Sicki Minaj fan, so u can scrap that. The least that u could do is understand the meaning behind what I wrote before u respond to what i didn’t write. Lauyrn’s voice is beautiful, however as of lately she has been sounding like s***, and that’s a fact. I don’t worship anyone enough to ignore the truth.

  28. Dilla April 16, 2011

    @lol, u obviously didnt comprehend the statement I made about these rap chicks making it easy for Nicki. What i meant is that they aren’t stepping up to the plate and as a result we now have the wackness which is called Nicki Minaj being sold as the real deal hip hop queen, when we real hip hop fans know other wise. I don’t know exactly how u came to think that I was praising her over Lauryn. Wtfe!!!!

  29. Judge & Jury April 16, 2011

    YEP, SHE SHUD GIVE THE F*** UP ALREADY. SHE’S DEFINITELY CRACKISH BY ALL ACCOUNTS. IT ISNT THIS ONE-OFF PERFORMANCE… SHE’S BEEN F****** UP SINCE SHE CAME BACK ON THE SCENE WITH THE RUDE ATTITUDE, DISRESPECTING FANS, TARDINESS, POOR PERFORMANCES, ETC., ETC. PEEPS REMEMBER YOU FOR YOUR LAST HURRAH NOT WHAT YOU DID 10-15YRS AGO. IF THIS IS HER LAST HURRAH, TIME TO NAIL THE COFFIN PERMANENTLY SHUT FOR REALZ!!

  30. MOBWIFE (i’m a billy goat …..baa) April 16, 2011

    Please, you ppl must by on the pipe again having the audacity to compare Nicki Minaj to Lauryn Hill! Nicki wishes she was one-tenth of the talent Lauryn is. I’m not crazy about her style of dress these days but make no mistake but, not for this lady right here there would be no room for a Nicki Minaj!

  31. Dilla April 16, 2011

    @JUDGE & JURY, Thank u for your truth! Some people just don’t get it.

  32. beestan April 16, 2011

    hmmm hill whats happening…… i rememba the good old days were i used to jam to killing me softly ……..who knew cee-lo green’s belly was so huge……. jus saw a pic of it at http://kelsnetwork.b*******.com/

  33. Estarr April 17, 2011

    Some people just refuse to give up the ghost. This ain’t 1998 and Lauryn ain’t what she used to be. I don’t give a f*** how much the Fugees were beloved 15 years ago, or how impactful that ONE solo album she did once. None of that washes away the fact that she’s become a train wreck on and off stage and that her days as a viable star are over. I can’t stand complacent fan who’re so stuck in the past that they refuse to give up the image the star had when they were at their prime — despite it being nothing like how things are today. Move the hell on.

  34. Matt April 17, 2011

    You guys are idiots. She’s made her mistakes, and like she said, it takes time getting back into the habit. This performance was good, she arrived on time!! And she has apologized for her behavior. She is making her way to the right track again. You don’t have to like her, but you will be missing out once she releases another album!

  35. Junior in Jamaica April 17, 2011

    What happened Lauryn>? 🙁 That beautiful voice…gone.

  36. Yaya April 17, 2011

    I saw a the video of her performing at Coachella and she is still amazing. Her voice was not perfect, but who performing live in Coachella will be? She had energy and once you figured out how the song was going to be performed, I had fun dancing around with it.

    I’m going to see her Monday in LA and feel lucky to see her perform.
