Lauryn Hill’s voice is so soulful and haunting. Great song and my favourite version.

[@neotheone6796]

I really really miss this era of music like I wish I could go back to the 90’s and early 2000’s and just live there forever haha

[@saintdon4461]

i dont think ive ever listened to this song without singing "one time,one time"

[@johnthegreek5836]

I can believe that this song is now a oldie, but I definitively love this version but Roberta Flack’s version will always be the best

[@nicholegallo1090]

Carol was the original singer

[@joelx3612]

Nah lauryn has the best version

[@Marco-ns7ih]

@@nicholegallo1090 No, she wasn't.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love Roberta Flack’s "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" , “The Closer I Get to You", “Feel Like Making Love” and “Where Is The Love”(ft. Donny Hathaway)!!!! Fugees cover really brought this song into the 90’s(you did Roberta’s version).

[@davehess1019]

The closer I get to you and Where is the Love with Donnie Hathaway are two of my very favorite songs ever

[@karendavis2668]

I have to confess that I first heard Lauryn Hill from Sister Act 2! I love her voice 😍 Great reaction 💖🦋

[@stevenmonte7397]

Lauryn Hill is still untouchable!!! Her miseducation was flawless!!!

I have always loved this version. Funky and Lauren's vibrato is incomparable!

[@LadyGator1983]

The original by Roberta Flack will always be my favorite. However, this version is the BOMB!!! It takes you to another place. The Fugees did an awesome job!!!

[@Marco-ns7ih]

Roberta's version is a cover.

[@NakedPigeon]

For everyone the says Roberta Flack was the original singer, she recorded her version in 1973. Lori Lieberman recorded it in 1972

[@TeeMontague]

Lauryn Hill has the richest sounding vocal, makes you feel the warmth of her soul

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..., This song is totally Amazing..Love Love Love!!..Lauren Hills voice is soooo CAPTIVATING...,WOW WOW..The Fugees are an extremely talented band!!!...

[@gablen23]

Lauryn Hill went solo after Fugees, and she made an amazing album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", check it out!

[@jessisanchez8150]

Ms. Lauryn Hill is so versatile , my lady is listening to her singing while I'm listening to her rap 😅 she's pure genius

[@loadedorygun]

Guys are good but she’s next level on this disc

[@daz_n]

The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. She was so strongly affected by McLean singing the song "Empty Chairs" that it spurred her to write poetic notes on a paper napkin because he touched her world so much with his performance.

Such a good song, and there are so many artists who have sung it, from the Fugees to Perry Como to Luther Vandross, and every one of them brings something special to it. What a masterpiece.

I always loved this version if this song. Lauryn Hill was so beautiful and still is. Her voice is like chocolate syrup being poured over vanilla ice cream, so sweet. I love her.

[@DirtMaguirk]

Robert Flack actually isn't the original version. Lori Lieberman.

[@profanepersonality]

This song was everywhere. When I think of growing up in my teens, this is on the soundtrack.

[@chuckd2219]

Good morning friends. Great reaction more Fugees please!😎👍👍✌❤❤

[@krisfahnz]

There are a few album's I can just put in and sit and listen to from the first song to the last.. : Metallica: Metallica ( Also known as The Black album ) , Tha Chronic . Doggystyle . GNR Use Your Illusion 1&2 . Fugees : The Score ( where this song is from ).. and a few others but these are Classics that have a place in my heart from my more Youthful days. Lol But Lauren Hill .. OMG she was great in everything she did.. Including Sister Act 2. !!! Love those movies.. You should do a review of them !

[@hamblinta]

The first time I heard Lauren Hill was on the movie “Sister Act 2” and I was picking my chin up off the floor…her voice was incredible. She was singing “His Eye Is On the Sparrow” with such emotion, it was beautiful. “Ode to Joy” was incredible and got me up out of me seat dancing (after the solo which was beautiful).

[@Eowyn187]

This version thumpin. They took this gorgeous song and gave it funk. I knew y'all would love this, the moment I saw the thumbnail. 💃 It just hits harder.

[@Littlckillcr]

It's such a great song wish there was more like it today

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Love, love, love this song. You guys should check out Sister Act for your movie channel - hilarious movie with Whoopie Goldberg. And in Sister Act 2 - you can check out a very young Lauren Hill - the Fugees awesome lead singer. She has an INCREDIBLE performance in the movie.

[@marthaz]

Yes lawd! 👍

[@cmoeller3]

Solidified her as MY female GOAT of R&B/hip hop!!

[@donnabannister793]

Absolutely LOVE this!!!!💯❤️❤️ It would have to be one of my favourites!! Love the original too.. but just love dancing to this version💃🔥🔥🔥

[@maureenlyons-brennan1146]

Beautiful version

[@butifulyamazed1]

This song always reminds me of the movie About A Boy, Hugh Grant sings this song incase you've never seen it.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Man, I haven't heard this in year's. I think this came out when I was in high school. Fantastic cover for sure.

[@lisagut1]

If I'm not mistaken that is Lauryn Hill the one and only there will never be another one like her, no Female rapper has ever passed her in awards n iys been 20 yrs....she could sing and rap her flow!!!!!!!!!

[@Texhorns71]

I love the original but something about this version is just so good. Lauryn Hill's voice and the beat is just phenomenal.

[@tilemonkee5510]

WHOO! Had the volume up LOUD for that one!! Headphones bouncin off my head! ❤❤😁

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

This is one helluva great cover. Fugees make you appreciate a subwoofer 🔊

[@CalixYukon]

Probably my favourite song. ❤

[@itiswhatitis1345]

Both versions are tremendous in their own ways. Beautiful and classics to the ear with each generation gap of respect. Much love and respect to the song 💞

[@davehess1019]

this song was originally recorded by Roerta Flack back in the 70's, and Roberta is singing back up in the beginning of this song, that what makes the beginning of this song sound so great

[@Marco-ns7ih]

Roberta's version is a cover.

[@lookinforthe70s]

It might be a video out there of Lauryn Hill at the Apollo. As a young girl. I think she was booed at first, and then she started singing and won the crowd over.

[@dianesterns4961]

Roberta Flack! This is wonderful, but it’s a remix as I’m sure you’ve been reminded a million times. Very sensuous and sexy.

[@RobPalmer80]

The song and album that got this white boy into Hip Hop 26 years ago.

[@nicolesaunders2964]

I fell in love with Lauren Hill in the movie sister act 2 back in the habit

[@scottvanhille5688]

This was overplayed everywhere and it's one of those songs that really showed Lauryn Hill's voice besides Sister Act 2. Song suggestion: Don Johnson--Heartbeat. Patreon Movie Suggestion: The Neverending Story (1984). The artist Limahl from Kajagoogoo did the theme song for this film.

[@Cosmic86x]

Lauryn Hill is one of the most talented hip hop / soul artists of the last 30-35 years, imo. I have never heard a female singer who can rap so incredibly good or a female rappers who can sing so incredibly good 😄

[@maryandreana1753]

It's fun surprising people when you know all the lyrics and then tell them you heard this waaaaaayyyy back in the 7o's before Lauren Hill was even born.

[@Rusty768]

Omg,this song,when i was in the clubs in the 90s

[@JDogg1971]

Had a chance to listen again tonight. Russell didn’t know who he was playing with. Yet another fire reaction! I freaking love y’all. RIP, Russell. Never to be heard from again. Bump the nonsense and let’s listen to some music!🤓🤠

check out lauryn hill - everything is everything. (the singer of this fugees song) the videoclip itself is worth it , the song is great! And if you happen to have seen sister act 2 , she's in there too.

You two should check out the video of Roberta Flack & Lauren Hill singing this song together. Roberta Flack definitely approves of the remake.

[@victorsixtythree]

I actually like all three of the best known versions of this song - the original by Lori Lieberman (who co-wrote the lyrics), the most well-known version by Roberta Flack and the Fugees version. They're all different, too! (Wow, I just realized the original Lori Lieberman version was released in 1972 - it's the 50th anniversary of the song this year!) Here's Lori Lieberman performing it on the Mike Douglas TV show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYXceH94drOohck

[@hueydevotedUH1]

Love you guys and your reviews.. cannot stand this version of this song.

[@shadsullivan7817]

I still hold Roberta Flack's version as number one, but this one hit close!!If you get a chance check out her version of His Eye is on the Sparrow. Simply beautiful! Thanks!!!

[@TheMan21892]

I don’t know how ppl will take this, but… Lauryn Hill gave me that jungle fever when I was a teenager 😅

[@danv9872]

Kind of listening to candy flip do strawberry fields before hearing the Beatles version lol.

[@JustTanya.]

Robert Flack is one of the greatest singer/songwriters and I also think The Fugees did a great cover and made it their own as well. I miss Lauryn Hill though. The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is a fantastic album. I don't know, maybe she just wants out of that life and just be there for her kids. And more power to her if that's her choice. I'll just keep listening to her music and watch her on Sister Act 2. 😎👍

[@Marco-ns7ih]

I hope you're aware of the fact that Roberta Flack's version is a cover too.

[@JustTanya.]

@@Marco-ns7ih Yeah, Norman Gimbel wrote it. I think with another composer but I can't remember his name right now. I remember Gimbel because he also wrote "Sway" and "The Girl From Ipanema" which were songs I sang in choir when I was in high school. He also wrote a lot of Broadway musicals and movie themes. Such a talented songwriter.

[@Marco-ns7ih]

@@JustTanya. Charles Fox wrote the music, Norman Gimbel wrote the lyrics that were based on a poem by Lori Lieberman. The original version was sung by Lori Lieberman in 1972, one year before Roberta. Roberta Flack heard Lori's excellent song and she covered it. Roberta was not involved in the writing nor did she sing the original but untill today she receives all the credit instead of Lori.

[@JustTanya.]

@@Marco-ns7ih Charles Fox, yeah he worked with him a lot if I remember correctly. That sucks for Lori Lieberman because both Roberta Flack and The Fugees have been making a lot of money off of it. Well, that's how they do it in that industry so it's not a surprise but it is ridiculous she isn't given the credit she should have.

@Asia and BJ Shakespear's Sister - Stay🎶

[@johndododoe1411]

So the "Fugees" band was short for "refugees", didn't know that. Stuff gets lost when living in a country that uses the exact same word for fugitive (from justice) and refugee (from injustice), even the movie title "the Fugitive" is affected.

[@bashab3098]

Used hear the RF version all the time as a 7 yo and took it literally and couldn’t work out how his song could be so horrible to her ! 😂

[@michaelmurano7813]

You're such a very nice couple. The love you share just pops right off the screen. I really enjoy your reactions and analysis and feel so relaxed when on your channel. Asia is so funny when watching horror films, and she'd be my cousin's identical twin if my cuz was black - it's uncanny. BJ reacts same as me too. Y'all rock! Thank you for your being yourselves and keep up the super job. 👍

[@Marco-ns7ih]

As expected there are a lot of comments about "Roberta Flack's original". Roberta's version is a cover. The original is by Lori Lieberman.

[@axeltorrestorres4837]

Pero quién la convirtió en éxito fue Roberta y ganó Grammys por ello

[@Marco-ns7ih]

@@axeltorrestorres4837 Yes, Roberta the cover queen has won Grammy Awards, not only for this cover, also for her cover of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. I don't deny that. I am just saying that many people, especially Roberta Flack fans, don't know anything about the origin of Killing Me Softly With His Song.

[@petedz9772]

I've lived through the original and popular covers of this song. They're all fabulous. Lorie Leiberman wrote it and sang it. Roberta Flack and Lauren Hill covered it. I just don't understand the Fugees cover. It seems too light hearted and frivilous--young people flirting and throwing popcorn in a movie theatre. I don't get it. Is there a message I'm missing? It seems so sophmroric.

[@marieneu264]

Roberta’s original song was about American Pie by Don McClean. That song has so many messages and important words. She’s singing about him taking the words right out of her mouth. Google it and look at the history of these songs, it’s incredible. Also, please review American Pie when you have time, but make sure you research the song first. You’ll be so surprised about all the lyrics and who they’re talking about.

[@Marco-ns7ih]

Roberta's "original song" is a cover. Lori Lieberman's original song is about Empty Chairs by Don McLean.
