Lauryn Hill impressed fans at Reggae Sumfest 2024, this week, by performing her verse from Bob Marley's iconic, "Turn Your Lights Down Low." When XXL shared a clip of the show on X (formerly Twitter), fans flocked to the replies with praise for the legendary singer.
"Beautiful voice still i love that song," one user wrote. Another added: "Whew I got chills, she still got it! Ah Lauren." Other fans complained about other aspects of the performance. "First, the dudes should be quiet…secondly, my people..can we just take a break with the horns? It isn't champs, you there to listen to music for the love of all that is good," one argued. One more wrote: "The backup guys ruining the whole vibe they need to go away for good." Other users made jokes about Hill often arriving late to her concerts.

In that regard, Hill fired back at the criticism she's received over the years during her tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, last year. “They say, ‘Oh, she’s late’ and ‘She’s late tonight.’ Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this … stage every night,” she told the audience at one show. “I leave my soul on this stage. And I don’t do it because they let me. I do it because I stand here in the name of God. And I know it. God is the one who allows me to do it, who surrounded me with family and community when there was no support when the album sold so many records and no one showed up and said, ‘Hey, would you like to make another one?’”
