Lauryn Hill Beams Down to Wingate Park: The Natives Reactions Are Mixed
Lauryn Hill commanded Scotty to beam her down from the heavens on Monday night for a special performance at Wingate Park in Brooklyn, NY. She was two hours late getting on stage, long enough to really frustrate people. Yeah, keep people waiting and they get fidgety, especially when it’s a free concert. “What kind of fuckery is this? Instead of just leaving they waited and complained. Actually ‘fuckery’ is what some people thought of Lauryn Hill’s performance, a mashup of new songs, blended with her greatest hits, stretched and spliced with remixed arrangements, and in some cases different verses.
Depending on who you ask it was either a complete disaster or an enjoyable performance. After just a few songs into her set, two thousand or so of the estimated 12,000 people headed for the exits.
Newsday writer Rafer Guzman was a big fan.
Check the comment section.. because this is all about those that saw the show.

“All the people saying last nights show was a disaster obviously have attention deficit disorder and didn’t stay around long enough to witness an amazing performance. The people around me who left were complaining that they didn’t “recognize” the songs. Its been 10 years did you really expect not to hear songs you weren’t familiar with? She opened with new material which personally I’m glad she did because those who do not appreciate real music left. (many more stayed than those who left).
After that she did versions of her old tracks, some similar some “foreign” but ALL were extremely musically and creative and ALL were sung with the same passion and talent that is Miss Hill.”

“Lauryn Hill OMG she was a straight up DISASTER i don’t know what planet she came from looking all lost and confused. Her outfit was a disaster she had a HUGE leather jacket on in the 90 degrees weather and a huge afro on. Damn i loved lauryn sooo much and now she looks like someone mixing crack with some of the strong stuff. I guess im gonna have to say bye bye to the lauryn i use to love may she RIP. cause the lauryn i saw last night is two different people.”

“I love live music because it sounds different from a CD. But I don’t think the song should be changed up so much that it’s not recognizable. I didn’t like the way she sang Lost Ones or Ex Factor or Zion. I just really thought it was bogus. All I wanted to do was hear her sing. I’m not getting on how she looked because that’s not even really important to me. I wanted to be able to close my eyes and enjoy the concert but I couldn’t. I just wasn’t digging the musical arrangement. I honestly felt her arrangements took away from some of the songs, especially Lost Ones.”

“Monday night was truly for the open-minded music lovers. I have a new found respect for Lauryn Hill.”
When it comes to things like this.. when possible, judge for yourself.
Lauryn Hill “Everything is Everything” - Wingate Park, Brooklyn NY - August 6, 2007
Lauryn Hill “Doo Wop (That Thing)” - Wingate Park, Brooklyn NY - August 6, 2007
I still think her fashion choices are what a lot of people are stuck on. Entertainment = image, especially for women. Coming from her tastefully stylish past not many are going to appreciate that red leather and plaid pants combination. She must be crazy!
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
i think shes dressing crazy because shes pregnant again.
Looking at the clips of the concert, I dont think I would have liked it…
that bitch crazy word up son..My sister has the same leather jacket..
My brother like lauren hill, but after that show he was found trying to kill himself. Now his life has been distorted because of her performance. thats it i hate u lauren hill I hate… I hate u I hate that crazy freak… She need to sing for def and blind people. Wyclef was right about lauren hill, she is nothing without him.. Just a lost note…. Lauren call me for i can give u back your CD collection…...
correction for last sentence We want our money back when we give u your cd…Thank you my lawyer will be in contact with u soon…
I think Lauryn Hill in this clip represents a deeper truth that it’s majority run from,.
Nothing even matters at all, I feel good, Another day, I’ma do me, and this is me right now,.That kinda vibe,.I don’t care what yu say, she like very few other singers can continually give herself the opportunity to experience and explore a very broad and wide spectrum of avenues and aproaches with which to express a point about herself that all her fans are all too familiar with. It’s only people like Michael Jackson who’ve ever had the ballz to do it as outrageous as it feels, and she obviously has a respect for the evolution of pop culture as yu can tell by her very eighties leather jacket,.
I think she embodies the pursuit of expression without betraying her gemini twin ideals of liberty and equality,.
Viva L Boogie,.
Explore all your variety and her twin versatility,.
Ha ha!
Lotsa love and respect
stay bless’d and bless’ng.
I THINK YOU JES EXPRESSIN THE WAY YOU FEEL RITE NOW….SUMTHIN THAT A LOT OF US DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO. YOU MIGHT BE GOIN THROUGH SUMTHIN RITE NOW AT LEASE YOU NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT. SOOOO SUM OF YALL DICK HEAD HATERS SHUT THE FUQ UP AND GROW SUM BOSS WITCH YOU PROB GONT HAVE AT ALL…BITCHES!!!!
I LOVE YOU LAURYN!!!!ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL BOOP….. SMOOCHES
anyway
she is the best
Brilliant. This explains why many arttiss lack substance to their music, because they lack substance in their lives. They’re surrounded by materialism and fail to venture out and experience new things, which inevitably reproduces what I call dead music. But like Ms. Hill mentioned, most of these arttiss haven’t found themselves yet so their art will reflect that. I don’t rush her return. In due time, when she makes it on top of the hill she’s currently facing, we’ll hear all about her experiences, prayerfully, in a way that will rise the standard for the Kanye’s, Nicki’s, and Soulja Boy’s. Time is ticking. With her having a strong relationship with God, I also want to know what she thinks about the increase of homosexuality in mainstream music and media. I also want to know what exactly she approves’ of in terms of her liking or jamming to the music of Nicki Minaj and Keri Hilson, as previously reported. Someone just let me interview her lol.
Damn, that was even better than hearing new music from her. I love the level she’s on, so humble, so faithful and that’s the real reason why everyone loves her. She’s always been on a higher ground, far above anyone else in the same genre. I loved the peaks and valleys analogy, that you have to experience something before creativity can take place. It explains why so many artists first album is often their best b/c of the experiences they went through before they created. God is really using her, much like He uses us all, I just feel honored to be aware of it.

Dear Saints,
I pray that this word gives you much strength, encouragement and hope. As always, I thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers. It means a lot to myself and my team. It is clear from the e-mails, texts and calls that I have received that in this time and season people need answers and instruction as they are keen to get it right.
As I begin to weigh these things and pray I felt that the Lord telling me to ask the body to “ARM THEMSELVES”. And He directed me to 1 Peter 4:1-19 and in particular verses 1-3.
God is telling His Church to arm itself with knowledge and understanding. Arming yourself means that whatever calling you have, be it a Prophet, Pastor, business person etc you need to study what will protect, and strengthen you in your place of calling. A soldier that is going into war needs to know what to take in order to protect himself and equip himself for his duties, and we are soldiers in God’s end time army. Ephesians 6:13-18 explains this. Verse 13 says: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. As soldiers in God’s end time army, we need to arm ourselves with knowledge and understanding in order to withstand the shaking that is about to hit.
This is not a time to be at ease or complacent, it is not the time to pamper the flesh or indulge in frivolities. It is a time to die to the flesh and come alive in the Spirit. It is a season to be sober, to watch and to pray in order not to fall into temptation. It is also a season of fervent love for one another and for the lost.
There is an increase in the hearts of the saints for identity in Christ to begin to show and He is releasing a sound. Although at the moment it sounds like a murmur it is growing. A murmur as people walk away from fleshly works. In essence people are trying to live by the spirit. There is an increase of the mind of God in the body. It is growing and I do want to encourage saints go deeper and deeper still. Go to those uncommon places and grey areas. Wisdom will come. Love deeply,
enquire deeply, seek wisdom and knowledge. Seek to understand Christ and His ways. Out of this understanding He will prepare us for what is to come.
Don’t be shaken by little things. Know that in Him you live, move and have your being. God is establishing His order. I also believe that people are putting their priorities right and there is a separation going on. Please be encouraged in doing that because all this is building towards something. Saints, be encouraged. Verse 7 states “that the end of all things is at hand”. What this means is that the crying out, praying and fighting against injustice will find answers. Things are coming to a head.
I would like to encourage intercessors. Do not be discouraged when you see certain laws passed. When you see things that you have prayed to stop go through. The Lord will allow that. He will permit certain things for a reason for He will not contend with man forever.
God lives in the heart of man for even the most wicked man knows how to love. Some of these things that the Lord allows to go through will cause a crying out from the depths. A crying out for change, for revival.
It will cause groaning for change even from unbelievers and there will be a window for an unprecedented harvest for souls. A movement of purity. A window of personal answered prayers, of healing, of the miraculous but the Body will be strong, mature and able to handle the persecution that comes with it. There will be a maturing, a strength, that comes because the strengthened ones will be able to raise others and to delegate to ones who can take care of the lambs that will come. And this new strength that is coming is based on the journey that people have been through. This will bring wisdom to delegate accurately and use time efficiently and effectively. Peope put in place will be able to raise others.
We have been praying for unity and it is working and is also very beautiful. However, take heed that it does not become a Babel system. Do not be discouraged or condemned if you are not part of a particular move of God. Support it and pray for it. As you do so the DNA of that unity will be a bridge causing the move of God to spread into different nations bringing healing. Saints eventually all the streams will come together as one. He is God. He will do it, His kingdom will not be fragmented. He will have His way. The body of Christ needs to be ready for the shaking that is coming.
There is a refreshing coming into the prayer movement where it is going to be imbued with power and invigorated by the Lord’s burdens. So if you do not feel specific burdens strengthen yourself in the word until His burden comes.
In this hour you hear of many churches closing down however I also believe God will bring financial release to certain places that He has chosen. He has seen your hearts and giving and will honour that. Buildings will be bought and paid for outright. He is going to remove the begging basket from the hands of His saints. These are events to come.
I also see the media paying attention to miraculous acts in the body of Christ.
Saints, lets pray together from Psalm 20.
I pray that God answers you whenever you are in trouble.
Let the name of Jacob’s God protect you.
Let God send help to you from the sanctuary and support you.
Let God recall your many offerings and sacrifices,
let Him savour your entirely burned offerings.
Let God grant what is in your heart and fulfill all your plans.
Then we will rejoice that you have been helped and we will fly our flags in the name of our God.
Let the Lord fulfill all your requests in Jesus Name. Amen.
I love you. We love you all and we are praying for you.Grateful for His love.
