25 yrs later and I'm left in awe....at the Evolution, the maturity, the storytelling in the notes, the vibrato, the doo whops....Whew! This brought chills to my whole Being. What she just did was BREATHE LIFE into 25 yrs of an intense & profound chapter and reopened it so Beautifully. All Hail the Goddess 🙏🏽🤍✨️

Loving someone who doesn't love you back is a gut wrenching feeling i wish nobody experience, but it's a cold world so unfortunately it is never ending.
Look, if I can find this on streaming, I would pay $10 'vs' $2 regularly. I love it that much, it is the soundtrack for my life right now! I came across a snippet, and knew good old RU-vid had to have the whole performance! 😍
Just right below this video click save and put it on your playlist. If you rather hear just the audio get the RU-vid music app. The saved video will already be on there if you save it here first. I do this all the time.
This is an example of making a song cry!!! Yes Lauryn!!!!!! From the Raspiness of her voice and the hat blowing the whole outfit!!!!I felt this in my soul!!! You would have to have gone through the words she sings to feel were she coming from!!! She singing from her life experiences!!!!Man!!! Breathtaking!!!! So Raw and beautiful!!!
Finding this version in this very moment of my life, god will do it won’t he. This version is so raw it’s no coincidence I found this when I did. Thank you
Literally bought tears to my eyes. I’ve cried so many times listening to this song over the years but it’s something about this version that just hits different.
You can only sing from the heart and gut when one has struggled through and come out forever changed! 25 years----and this version is even better---only life can teach us how to overcome!
Lauryn Hill's 'Ex-Factor' explores the complexities of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The lyrics reflect on the aftermath of a past relationship, highlighting themes of betrayal and the challenges of moving on. The song's emotional depth and Lauryn Hill's soulful delivery make it a powerful exploration of personal growth and resilience.
At first I could tell there was separation from her and the band, but then I realized that lauryn has just completed matured into her jazz roots overtime, and what she produced her is so imperfect that perfectly captured one of her best performances. This is stunning
You have to see it in person it is absolutely beautiful and abstract. She has trained them to follow her impromptu musical renditions. It may seem chaotic to those who don’t understand music and how beautiful it is organic but trust me this was beautiful!
I am not musically inclined but I could definitely appreciate the way she controlled and conducted the band. Absolutely brilliant, even to the untrained ear.
She is the onlyyyyyyyyyyy ☝🏽, who didn’t conform, the way they want her to! Bend or move how they told her she had to!! They try to take her out many times because of it!! This is a real black queen of the industry, who gave them the 🖕🏾!!! Toooo many times !!! Yes 🤴🏿!! Stand on your ground!! On their stage!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💫
She sung this with her soul! This rendition needs to be put out for 2024 .. The original was great but this is pain and hauntingly beautiful as some would say .. Lauren has had vocal cord issues and many complain she is late for her show … she explained with her depression y’all lucky she make it out of bed .. LOVE ME SOME LAURYN HILL 🌹♥️ pray for her .. talented ☝🏾 I love Lauryn Hill on my top three
After listening to this over and over again what I think is most impactful is that 25 years ago when we were all younger that chord was stressing the fact that he said he’d die for her 25 years later with more wisdom underfoot (hopefully for us all) the chords being stressed are “why won’t you live,” This should go on an album called the evolution of Lauryn Hill
This the sound of a woman who soul and heart is broken and they have finally given up. The crazy she was screaming was saying all this i go through just to love you is CRAZY
🥺😩 felt this deep down Lauryn still got it! That pain and soul mixed with that wisdom and maturity- literally listen to this countless times because she made you FEEL IT
Wow. Can you put what you felt or how it seemed she felt in the moment during the song. Or does it defy description. Thank you. I need to know if possible
This brings chills to my soul! The lyrics make you acknowledge the past Love that your trying to heal from. The passion in her voice invites you to relive the memories you created with that being in this present moment. Leaving you honestly asking Who DO you have to be to get some reciprocity? #DontWasteMyTime
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried “this is crazy” through heartbreak and sadness. I feel every ounce of those words in my soul as she sings them. ❤️ she def blessed us with this. Its been on repeat for me.
WOW! I'm just realizing this song is God talking through her with the lyrics. Listen to it again & imagine God is speaking the exact words directly to you 😮❤
Everything flowed so perfectly, and she was improvising on the spot!!! The darkness of this from her outfit to the harmonies to the adlibs and the music 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
How her band and background singers listen and pay attention to her commands and signals... beautiful rendition.. Feel it in my soul. We have all just about been there. This is crazy
Shoot, I didn’t even breathe until the performance was over. My goodness. And can we give it up for the stylist who obviously had a very lovely conversation with the wind. It’s all too muuuuuch in the most beautiful waaaaay.
When she said “ it can all be so simple “ you can hear the change from when she first said it in the original song. Love somebody that doesn’t love you how you love them will do that to you , IYKYK 😤, Lauryn absolutely put her pain and soul in this performance 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
😢😢😢😢 I love this this is what you call real singing I miss this type of singing her voice brought tears to my eyes come back home Lauren we need artists like you
I've been a fan of the Fugees since they came on the scene in 92 and somewhere in my heart I knew they would go separate ways 😔 But this version right here Touched somting deep inside of Me that I thought didn't exist anymore, it repaired a 💔 and restored it just with this version ❤️ right here ... Lauren ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! I got it on loop and I can't stop listening to her!!
