Lauryn Hill @ MLK Series Concert

"Lauryn Hill arrived more than two hours late and performed an uneven if not memorable set on Monday night at Brooklyn, New York's Wingate Field as part of the free Martin Luther King Jr. Concert Series. The enigmatic singer, overdressed for a hot summer night, showed up at 10 p.m. for the scheduled 7:30 show and ran through a number of her more popular solo and Fugees hits — but often reconfigured them into unrecognizable scat chants. Hill told the audience her sometimes-inaudible voice was hoarse, but her tone improved as she continued.

Lets hear it first hand from someone who too was there... ME! She looked crazy as hell. (View photo for reference) It was 1000 degrees and she decided to drape a cow across her back and addition to a long sleeved blouse. Brilliant! After showing up extremely late I was ready to toss a shoe at the stage ... and then she began to sing and I fell in love with her all over again. Yes, the show and performance was a bit... different. I will admit that. She did a number of scatting and hit song re-vamps... turning slow songs into upbeat rock tunes and things of that nature. It didnt bother me as much as it bothered other people. Alot of people arent fans of scatting and things like that so it was understandable that some of her fans got up and left. However, hoarse or not, her voice was beautiful! She sang "ex-factor" and I wanted to melt in my undies. Crazy or not, she remains one of my top favorite artists of all time.
