Lauryn Hill: Fashionably Late & Not Worth the Wait



It seems that concert goers for the DC leg of the Rock the Bells tour on Sunday were a little pissy after waiting to see the legendary Lauryn Hill, who hit the stage 3 HOURS LATE!!! At the time of the show many reasons were thrown around as to why the singer was so tardy. Many were told that she was sick and would probably not be able to perform, however. . . according to the Washington Post, Ms. Hill arrived 3 hours late because she was getting a MANI/PEDI!

REALLY?!? C'MON LAURYN! 

Not only was the tardy for the performance. . . she did not give her best delivery. Check out what the post had to say:

"Sunday's rumor was a doozy, and it was true -- she really was three hours late to the stage because she was getting a manicure-pedicure
Back at the pavilion main stage, the waiting game continued. After a staggering two hours of silence A Tribe Called Quest hit the stage.
Her toenails apparently dry, Lauryn Hill was finally next, but she probably shouldn't have bothered. The performance was a messy rush through highlights from "Miseducation," but they were hardly recognizable due to her hoarse voice, speedy delivery and clunky, overstuffed arrangements.
The feedback on her microphone was ear-splitting; special guest Nas came out for a 45-second cameo, and his microphone wasn't working for half of it. After 20 minutes she departed to an equal mix of cheers and boos, seemingly oblivious as to why anyone might be upset."

Check out this video of her singing Ex Factor. . .*side eye*
