Why did I pay for that???
by Cordelia30 on 2011-01-25Métropolis - MontrealThe doors were supposed to open at 8pm, then it was changed to 9:30pm. Ms Hill got on stage with a rocky voice around 0:15am! There was no opening act, but at least the DJ was good. It appeared as if she had never rehearsed with the band. She kept wiping her face the hole time and didn't seem to be happy to be there. At 1:15am, she had sung only 4 songs, or should I say 2 songs with 2 versions of each back to back! How unprofessional! The remixed versions of her songs were terrible. There was an atrocious keyboard solo... We weren't sure if the show was about to be over at that point, since we've heard that she stays on stage no longer than 1,5hr. People were leaving, but since Montreal is a very good and patient crowd, the majority stayed. At some point around 1:50am, she woke up and suddently decided to perform. With energy, she did all the Fugees hits. The crowd was feeling the vibe and she was finally doing her job properly. If you consider going to see Lauren Hill live, go only if you get in for free or if you get a really big discount!
