One of greatest black women to ever live💯 she seen all the evil in the music industry first hand and wouldn’t let it consume her 👑🖤

[@berringervids]

One of the greatest women to ever live... ! FFS! I do hold other women singers above Lauryn, but not many of them has the same timing!

Whitney was way better.

[@speechrighter]

You are speaking of Nina Simone, correct? If so, I agree completely!

[@orbitalsatellite]

Lauryn's voice is unmistakable. So glad she was there for Nina. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@quitefranklysamanthatheres1018]

It’s perfect ❤Lauren knows the horror of the music industry but showed up for this

[@trach1]

I was so fortunate to see this performed live. I've seen many concerts in my life and none had ever brought me to tears until this performance. This video just can't convey the power that being there provided. There are no words to express how much it moved me. Simply amazing!

[@lyetaherb4703]

Painfully🧚🏿‍♀️ Beautiful‼😍👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾

[@TheSisterStrong]

I can feel it just seeing the video. When she performed feeling good I said to myself "I would have lost my shit" Meaning I would completely lost my mind. Love both queens, Lauryn and Nina.

[@stefaniebrauer128]

I just can’t even imagine being there for this. My god. Just no words. So fortunate to see one of the best honor the greatest.

[@hp22078]

I would have passed out seeing this live.

[@savoyaepps646]

I so wanted her to portray Nina Simone. I always felt she had the perfect contralto, style, and beauty to do it justice. This only convinced me more. No one else has the guts to sing Nina's songs. That band is the Bizness!

[@TheSisterStrong]

And she has the acting ability. Best when you feel it and know the person you are portraying.

[@pattyzambrano1691]

She is perfect for the role but nooooo they got an actress that didn’t do Nina justice at all…

[@lesserleeking]

There is a whole album of nina simone feat laurwn hill. Its great

[@Leoego]

She will always be a gifted musical queen! Unmatched!

[@markwallace1677]

Where in our Black Music industry is there anyone who can execute and deliver and gage and reach and touch and move and inspire and captivate and liverate and motivate and intoxicate and celebrate and exonerate and resonate with any audience like The Queen 👸🏽 Ms Lauryn Hill can. Hail to The Queen 👑✨✌🏾🤞🏾☝🏾💖✊🏿✨🙏🏿✨🇿🇦

[@lupepena8138]

WOW!!!!!what a talented and beautiful woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@p.w.7493]

BRILLIANT!! Perfect French diction and pronunciation!! BEAUTIFUL voice!! TMH has BLESSED you, baby, PROCLAIM it!!!💕💯

[@VideofyAudiofy]

I love her, but in fact her French diction and pronunciation are far from perfect. She's singing it almost as though she doesn't understand what lyrics mean: "Don't leave me . . . I'll do anything to make you stay . . . I'll be the shadow of your shadow, the shadow of your hand, the shadow of your dog." The way she tosses off the lyrics you would have no idea of the desperation these lyrics capture.

[@cherie0882]

Yes she did did great with the diction! Her diction isn’t the problem. She sounds out of breath.

[@p.w.7493]

@@VideofyAudiofy How do you arrive at your conclusion? Lyrics are subject to intrepretation by the artist! Therefore, the way she sang was her interpretation of the lyrics and no one should try to pigeonhole her into how she should interpret music! To do so is tantamount to censure!!💯

[@moraddmc7242]

Perfect french diction 😅 non mais absolument magnifique artiste ❤

[@p.w.7493]

I'm wondering if these 'critics' realize that Lauren Hill speaks French!! Don't be fooled by her last name!!💯

[@liveyourlife7021]

Great performance! 👏

[@andydevid]

"So while you imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone and defecating on your microphone"... Lauryn Hill stepping away from making music is one of the tragedies of my generation...

[@icecreamladydream]

No lies told

[@liveyourlife7021]

I truly believed she was silenced.

[@shawnpreston1639]

😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Aye! I remember that part. You tied it together and brought back memories. That’s a good one 👍🏾

[@brixandblooms]

I think she's still recording privately. The archives!

The original version of this song is by Jacques Brel, not Nina Simone.

About time someone post it ,I was about to post this same message.

[@D0nKeY]

Nina Simone's song? ehm ever heard of an artist called Jacques Brel. Simone covered it. just like Lauryn Hill did here. its not their song though

[@elalexandro7123]

She looks so stressed and under pressure

[@dionwrites8561]

She keeps messing w her ear piece

[@bsusak09]

Meh. I love her but this wasn’t the one

[@josephmontalba]

Breathing problems?

[@Takatukata]

She had great producers on the miseducation of Lauryn Hill! They must have told her not to shake her voice that much, because before and after the album she sounds so shaky.

[@l.n963]

she didn‘t shake before, her voice was very good before the miseducation. maybe she didn‘t practise much in the recent years. also her voice sounds damaged. even in 2005 her performances on block party were nice. or check sister act or when she sang in as the world turns, no shaking

[@p.w.7493]

@ Taka Tukata It's called timbre in music! Not everyone is able to do that! Let's celebrate her; not denigrate, please!!💯

[@l.n963]

@@p.w.7493 im not denigrating her, just stating my observations. its obvious that her voice suffered some kind of damage

[@Ramonafloyd]

Plz have several seats generation of auto-tune

[@sxm76]

She talked about the pressure of always being in perfect voice. Its a lot of work on top of what all she had going on.

[@denishooper2618]

pas terrible ....sans les retours avec les paroles ....... ca merde tout le debut ......faut être sourd pour aimer la première partie sans emotion a part son stress des retours qui ne fonctionnent pas! pourtant chui fan

[@appelle-moijane1409]

Pareil, j ' suis fan mais là "ne me quitte pas" complétement massacrée. Dommage, elle peut faire bcp mieux.

Il y a la version de wyclef jean

[@MrZachariea1]

Elle est finie

[@jojo1865]

Feels really rushed. Something is off in this performance

[@1070bedford]

Constantly messing with her ear is distracting. Didn’t think much of the vocals either.

[@neossaengu]

she looks uncomfortable with French

[@leopoldsanchez9600]

Worst version ever

[@ngocphuocdo8219]

Is she on drugs

[@kaylaachante]

I think so

With that name you should know

[@oostveenjeanpierre3618]

Please do not sing ever agai n.

[@StewNWT]

SHe always sings like she's on stimulants, rushing the words and the phrasing, there's no time taken to express anything musically.

[@goldenbowl1046]

If I wanted to just hear someone mumble I would have just watched cnn... like seriously what happened to her?

[@kiereluurs1243]

Terrible. Please don't try to sing something you don't even understand.
