#Lauryn hill unplugged series

ItвЂ™s been a back and forth of raising expectations for Lauryn Hill and then gradually lowering them, only to shoot them up sky high again when the slightest glimpse of hope hits.

However, after being hours late for her homecoming concerts, fans reacted, and she publicly scolded them. Then, in 2013, following her release from her three-month bid for tax evasion, she was back. Months later though, she received a string of bad show reviews, one suggesting she was close to writing her own obituary on stage. Her 2010 Rock the Bells performance on New YorkвЂ™s GovernorвЂ™s Island was solid enough that it ushered in the phrase: Lauryn Hill is back. Perez Hilton referred to her as 'The Ghost of Lauryn Hill'. In 2008, a photo surfaced of Lauryn and her children at a Martha Stewart book signing. If Rohan Marley and/or Brother Anthony caused her initial hiatus, then the media hastened a second retreat. Reviews referred to her as a circus clown, and articles like 'Whatever Happened To Lauryn Hill?' were penned. Hill returned to the solo stage, wearing elaborate makeup and oversized outfits, appearing excessively late for lukewarm performances and changing the arrangement of all her classics. The MySpace page was ultimately taken down, and nothing became of that project.

A series of leaked tracks circulated on MySpace-including a cover of Michael JacksonвЂ™s 'I Wanna Be Where You Are'-but the songs were far from cohesive.

That appearance became the catalyst for a tepid new Fugees project, led by the single 'Take It Easy'. In 2005 came a Fugees reunion during Dave ChappelleвЂ™s Block Party, where Hill seemed in better spirits.
