We thought last year Lauryn Hill learned her lesson after being dragged on Twitter by Atlantan fans who waited hours for her arrival at a concert.  However, as Pittsburgh fans of the ‘Miseducation’ maestra learned last night, such is definitely not the case.

Apparently failing to “align her energy with the time,” the diva was scheduled to make a stop at the ‘Steel City’s famed Heinz Hall on her ‘The MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! Concert Series’ tour on January 31st. After hours of waiting, fans were disappointed to learn the Grammy-winning songbird was a no call, no show.

Taking their wrath to Twitter, they have been dragging her all night.  See highlights inside:

Can’t say we’re fans of  whatever was being attempted here. At all.

But – as ever – our primary focus is the music. Here’s hoping Mariah delivers with that and stops us fretting over why she’s still pushing this “look at me, I’m sexay” schtick on the cover of her “comeback single.”
