Lauryn Hill disappointed thousands of fans who attended her show in London over the weekend. At the first of her two-date concert at the O2 Academy Brixton, the singer arrived onstage about 90 minutes late and, according to those at the venue, revamped some of her classics and made them sound totally different from the originals.
Unimpressed fans booed Hill when she performed the remixed versions. Some of them also vented their frustration on Twitter. "Why on earth she chose to remix her beautiful classic songs to the point of being unrecognizable (in a BAD way), I'll never know #laurynhill," a user named Tahirah Sharif tweeted.
"Miss Hill has disappeared up her own arse. Waited 2hrs! To hear self indulgent crap. Total waste of loads of money!" another said. Another added, "#laurynhill at #brixton was such a frustrating experience. Her voice is still beautiful but she killed any momentum again and again. Avoid. I have no problem with artists reinterpreting old material but the Miseducation section was just bad. The incomprehensible speed rapping..."
Another Twitter user said in a post that some people in the audience chose to leave the venue after only several songs. Hill hasn't commented on the news. She was scheduled to play another concert at the O2 Academy Brixton on Sunday, September 21.
