Lauryn speaks on BBC radio 1

Jo Wiley was introduced to Lauryn Hill last night but was told before meeting her that she was not to touch her. She said she's the tiniest person you've ever seen with the biggest Afro and that she looked great. Also that she was very, very focused about her performance on tonights Mobo Awards. She said that she was very frank about her personal problems and that she almost didn't perform for tonight but has decided to go ahead.

The interview said that she was very intense and very serious. Lauryn then said that she had seen this invitation as a perfect opportunity to confront her demons. She said that she realised that she had been gone from the public for 5 years or however long and that she felt this gig would challenge her. She said it had been her own insecurities and self-consiousness that had held her back and that she felt that the force stopping her was something she was ready to try confronting.

Lauryn's full interview will be broadcast on BBC 1 on the Trevor Nelson show which is 1am next Wednesday (BST)

u can listen to the trevor nelson show online on the radio 1 website so there must be a way of recording it...can't believe she's in London, i'm trying to get some tickets for tonight but they're all sold out so it's impossible

I feel so sorry for you Louise.. but you can watch it on television right... BTW someone please record it... because I really want to see that performance!!!

Did anyone hear the interview ?

i promise i'll take really good notes...maybe i can film it on my phone and post it that way...it won't be very good quality but i can try!!!

Something else from the runboard :
Former FUGEE LAURYN HILL has stepped in to open tonight's (22SEP05) Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards after R+B star AMERIE cancelled her performance at the London ceremony.

Amerie, 25, is up for Best Single with 1 THING and was set to sing the hit track at the beginning of the star-studded ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall.

However, after Amerie was offered the chance to appear on THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, she cancelled the gig and has now been replaced by Hill, who will perform her 1998 track DOO WAP (THAT THING).

Hill will come face to face with her ex-husband ROHAN MARLEY's relatives, including singer DAMIAN MARLEY, who will appear at a special tribute to late reggae star BOB MARLEY. "

I'm listening to bbc1 right now over the net(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/listen/), they're talking about the awards.Hopefully they'll mention L's performance.

Yeah! Haha, that's a great idea actually! You should do that.

Ex-husband? :huh:

I'm listening to it right now !!!! The host mentionned her ,she said :"I just met Lauryn Hill last night !,she's the tiniest person ,her afro was sooo enormous,she looked wonderful !,she's really focused about the performance".

she is performing Doo Wop? I was kind off hoping for a new song..

and I've also BB1 on my television... do someone know when the show will air?

It's airing tomorrow night .
I hope she's not performing Doo wop. <_<

me neither.. I would love to hear a new song.. something like Walk.

sybillecutey do you know what time it's airing??

I don't know.U might want to check you local listings or maybe visit their website.

Yeah me too,by the way Welcome to the forum Alva :)

Pics from the mobo awards last night:















I think she looks hot - The hat has got to go tho'! But I luv the huge afro! And leather pants? Damn Lauryn! I luv the look, very unique and rock star-ish.

And she's playing an electric guitar! Very exciting!

she looks great! The show doesn't air til tonight so i will do my best to record it! Can't wait to see her...

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW she looks so great... I love it.. do someone knows what song she did. DAMN!! the way she looks really like a rockstar.... ohhh Iám so excited :D :D :D :wub:

Yaga yo everyone.
I'll def TRY record it tonight & upload it on comp.. coz I'm supposed to be goin outta London tonight to visit a brethren..

I'll try my best though.

She lookz amazin.

great Prince that would be great Thanks... and Yes she does look really great I love the rockstyle!

She's great!!!...I prefer this look than the Trace one...this is more.....Lauryn......the Ex-husband thing worries me..ven if I'm keeping on thinking that's just rumors!

yeah I also think that it's just a rumor... but you never know right.

for so many years people said they've broken up,but they had4kids...so right now I don't know if I have to believe that...she really loves Ro...we'll see...

yeah I don't think that they really broke up this time... I mean people are already talking about that for years and they are still together.. but you are right we'll see :P

take a look at this... :huh:

rumor or??

Yes, me too! Definitely. I'm sure when the show has aired tonight, people (the public) will diss her looks... Not that I care, it's just annoying. And actually the whole rockstar/bohemian/hippie sorta look is very in right now on the runways and stuff. So she has a good stylist! I think she looks good, the only thing I don't like is the hat - But that's probably just because I wanna see more of her face :)
