After dramatically dropping out of The Weeknd‘s performance at Monday’s night’s Grammys, Lauryn Hill teamed with the rising star on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’
Together, the pair tackled ‘In The Night’ which appears on the Canadian singer’s award winning album ‘Beauty Behind The Madness.’
How did they fare? Find out below…
Given that The Weeknd’s tone is an acquired taste, there was always going to be a fair amount of struggle vocally. And boy was there. Abel sounded like a lamb and Lauryn, though ions better, wasn’t without issue. At points, it was plastered all over her face that things were not sounding fresh.
Put simply, this pairing should be promptly filed under “Unnecessary.”
Hmmmmm that’s wasn’t half bad Lls and I think that’s just the weeknds voice period Lls don’t do that Lauryn was decent
Yea I expected it to be way worse Lauryn has that rasp when she was releasing albums she would do more training to keep it at bay but she’s over 40 now hormones and everything else play a big role in the depth of someone’s tone
In the words of Whitney…”I have nothing, nothing, NOTHING!” So I’ll just keep it moving. Be blessed everyone!
LOL!!!

Hmmm. The Weekemd should just change his name to Monday im never excited for his vocal showings or performances. Lauyrn Hill acryally saved this entire performance for me. Bless.
Actually^^****
Byeeee @ changing his name to Monday. You ain’t sh*t ????!!!
? i just dont get the hype around him.
SCREAMING! NOT MONDAY! Bye Garfield.
Time for a new hairstyle
.
not here for Beyonce 2.0
I didn’t enjoy this like I thought I would. Also, The Weeknd is a terrible live singer.
The weekends voice is so thin & high it’s not built for slayage
Between The Weeknd, Lauryn, and the excessive band play, this sounded very jumbled, like the song was being performed at 3 different tempos simultaneously. If this is what they planned for the Grammys, it’s better that it didn’t happen.
Lets hear u sing
Hellllo fellow Navy. As I’ve just newly became the leader of the Navy I just wanted you all to know how much I love you. Everytime I’ve been kicked out if a fan base there was always a little voice, or two or three or twelve telling me that I’m Navey, deep down inside of my prepubescent vag. Anyway I gotta run Navy fam, let’s meet up for Prozac and 4 Locos at my place?.

Lauren Hill is the truth!
It started out good… The verses worked as a duet… but after that, it didn’t seem like they’d rehearsed the chorus… Having said that the weeknd should write for Lauryn hill, the tone of the song suited her voice.
Wow she sounds and looks like a hott mess, she looks like someone’s drunk uncle dressed up in drag… I bet that’s how HailBeysus looks in his native american outfit HA!
It’s called REGALIA hoee! Learn something about a CULTURE and way of life before your basic ass starts trying to throw shade! We all know you mad because you have to wait every 1st of the month for them foodstamps and that welfare check!
This was never going to work vocally and visually. Now, if it was Miguel and Lauryn i could’ve seen it happening, but The Weekend and Ellie Goulding would’ve been better duetting together as their voices are individually an acquired taste.
Lauryn looked great but vocally seemed a bit off as if she did’t want to ousting him
I love Lauryn but i has to say on this occasion it wasn’t good vocally… not quite beautiful gowns though
Jimmy really knows how to kiss @ss. Ms. Hill, you weren’t needed and your voice cracked. The Weak end is just ok, if he would just sing the song and not try to sang the song. You know what, if he uses his OWN tone and not trying to sound like MJ, he wouldn’t sound as bad. But then again, I thought he was The Dream on that Drake album until a few days ago. So…
This wasn’t Lauryn’s best, but this performance would have been way more engaging if she did this song solo.
