Singer/rapper Lauryn Hill has 8 dates remaining on her 17-city trek that kicked off last month in New York. The only problem is, fans don't know what to expect from the eccentric singer.
The tour by all accounts has been a mess, plagued by late starts due to Hill hitting the stage whenever she feels like it. Sometimes an hour or two later than scheduled.
Reports that have come in from her show Friday (January 15) at Atlanta's Center Stage paint a picture of a diva that has lost touch with her fans.
According to SandraRose.com, Hill was supposed to hit the stage by 9pm, but the singer didn't appear until midnight. At which time she tells the audience she is tired of “playing the same music night after night.” and wants to try something different.
After instructing the band to speed up the music, the audience was left bewildered because they couldn't recognize any of the songs.
“Nobody could participate because nobody knew the music!,” one fan said. “Everybody was looking around like ‘What song is this?’ It was new music completely. The lyrics were the same, but you had to be on ecstasy to follow the music!”
After a while fans started to "storm out" of the building in disgust, way before the show was over.
Hill repeated the exact same antics at her next show Sunday (January 17) at The Pageant Concert Nightclub in St. Louis according to Popeater.
Again some fans left early.
So what exactly is wrong with the former Fugees singer? Is she bored with touring already? Or does she think audiences will take whatever she dishes out?
Whatever the case, fans that paid good money to see her perform and got shortchanged aren't likely to forget anytime soon.
