Ms. Lauryn Hill "Doo Wop (That Thing)" on Austin City Limits

[@amphindian]

She's really a true musician. She writes her songs, sings them, plays instruments, choreographs. What more do you need?

[@adorathrealkill1120]

She raps better than most of dem! Male & Female without skepping a Beat!!!

@@dumbledank5285 Actually she is not. Believe me I know the bass player for Lauren Hill, Jay Rosado. She demands a lot from her professional musicians and background vocalist. Practice and show up to the gigs before on time and know your parts. She doesn't cut pay just people when they don't perform. Give the people what they pay good money for.

[@kelechii7209]

Her voice and tone has definitely changed over the years.. She surprisingly has a lot of vibrato in her voice now.. Was never really that prominent in her older recordings or live performances.. Love her

[@helloallhelloall-ei2zo]

Kelechi Ilo she can still do the stuff we love. She just don't want to. She talked about that during one of her shows. About how the execs would push her so hard for that that perfect voice. She just wants to sing and whatever comes out comes out... She's not so bent on pleasing everyone with that Heaven sent voice, more so her message... That kinda makes me sad cause her voice gives orgasms 👊👊🎉🎉

[@dedricjackson1911]

She’s always had a lot of vibrato in her voice. I think the speed of the songs are bringing it about a lot more

[@blaqqzero4980]

No ma’am...that vibrato has always been a part of her signature voice.

[@janettejack7721]

Nah she always had the vibrato

[@vocalbooth8585]

Her voice is cooked unfortunately. She’s lost her mixed voice. Prob from misuse or smoking too much. I suspect the increased tempo is allowing her not to have to hold any of the notes in the chorus etc

Holy damn, she's orchestrating this live, watch her hands, she's giving queues the entire time, and at that tempo, that band has to be on point! I'll bet they were sweatin' a bit, but damn did they rise to the challenge. So talented.

[@sergioropo3019]

Don't be ignorant, that band knows perfectly what they have to do. She is the leader, obviously, and throws a lot of energy into the mix but those breaks are totally rehearsed.

[@joeshanahan2919]

She does it because she shows up too late to do a sound check. It’s actually quite unprofessional and annoying. She’s sound checking live and it’s not great. Love her but she did this when I saw her live and it was a nuisance

[@otegadamagic]

People complaining about this rendition being too fast don't have any idea that its more difficult when sped up. She's an unbelievable performer and this sets her apart from a crowd of musicians and makes an old song sound new again.

[@applausealdc206]

righttt plus half of them don’t know they speed it up bc she doesn’t own all the rights to the song anymore so she can’t sing it how it is originally or she could get sued over it

All her songs are faster since her encounter with the pope. She confronted Benedict regarding pedophilia and a spell was cast. The pope is a warlock after all. If you know you know. That's also why she's late to all her performances.

[@hazzylams3809]

I think it become more hoarse because she sings with nothing but soul

[@tashajudea6141]

She's older and her style

[@bryanterry1111]

She was pregnant when she made miseducation, and being pregnant makes your voice change. She could hit higher notes because of her pregnancy back then, but she a hard time singing them afterwards because her voice is naturally deeper. She actually damaged her voice quite a bit because she tried so hard to sing those same notes that were outside her range, but she’s still a great singer regardless. That’s common with performers like Adele, or Beyoncé for example, who can’t hit certain low or high notes after their pregnancies.

[@gamer1X12]

@@bryanterry1111 the falsetto at the beginning was banging tho. she still got it, but she probably cant go as high in chest voice anymore. I agree, people don't realize the voice changes over time. My mom loves to sing and was a soprano but after 3 more kids I notice her voice is lower and kinda husky. My brother was in our choir and used to sing bass. He got really sick once and had to do voice surgery... he cant go as low anymore. Lots of stuff can alter the voice. Ms. Lauryn Hill still sounds great though!
