That first solo album by Lauryn Hill is incredible. It's a shame to see what's become of her. She looks like a drag Oprah impersonator in that interview. Horrid.

The way her eyes kept moving during the interview was very strange. She wouldn't even look the interviewer in the eye. This video is pretty disturbing stuff.

laurynlover says – reply to this

You know…all you guys are making fun of the way she looks but what she's saying is actually quite coherent, sensical, and poignant. It's heartfelt and it's real and I still and always will love her.

none of what she said MADE ANY SENSE

Umm, I didn't understand anything that she was talking about, lol.

Well, I didn't find it "that" crazy but then she lost me after 30 seconds. DOH!

Love ya Perezita!

Man, she sure was trying hard to appear deep and intellectual.
What a fraud!
QueenB says – reply to this

36

You know Columbia Records is pissed off like a mofo that she keeps delaying shit while she's on this spiritual journey. Pras and Clef called her out recently for all her bullshit and frankly I wonder if she will even be relevant anymore when the album comes out…if it EVER sees the light of day.

Wake up Lauryn…get your mind right.
Amanda says – reply to this

I love her but she looks like a cracked out Oprah

What are you talking about the "new Whitney Houston."

She may "look" a bit crazy with the makeup and clothes BUT she doesn't sound it one bit.

She sounds as smart and confident as ever.

HATER!

shit was that opera

48

it was'nt that crazy at all…..obviously folks are just hating….shes an artist…. luv Lauren wish her the best…. shes a hell of a lot more articulate than Whitney ever will be.
M says – reply to this

49

THat was not CRAZY by any means. Its the same old stuff. She's too afraid of becoming commercial to put an album together or do a reunion. Its a tough place to be. She's hurting herself and dissappointing her fans but this is her only rebellion — punishing her fans and Wyclef by not doing anything at all. But with that tagline I expected her to seriously CRACK OUT and.. nothin' new. I 42nd the Oprah comments though. Exactly.
Mypurpose says – reply to this

50

I admire Lauryn's Wisdom. She is not crazy. I am sure most of you commercalized puppets didn't even watch the whole interview. she is rocking a beautiful natural fro, unlke those who must have that relaxed european look. Keep preaching Lauryn I will stand behind you!
Jae says – reply to this

51

If you can't understand what she's saying it's because you aren't very intelligent and most likely lack an attention span. Her comments were insightful and well reasoned — to anyone with an IQ over 60. Bad fashion sense doesn't equal insanity. And hey, Perez, what's your problem with her, anyway? You've done nothing but beat on her and call her cracked out, once again, with no real foundation to support any of your comments. So you don't like the way she looks, BFD, get over it. If David Bowie can do it, why not L?

she's going through something.
quit ridiculing things you don't understand.
coolcat says – reply to this

54

Is it me but I fail to see what is so crazy about this interview. I was expecting something huge but it was boring. Although she may not be that educated in her use of language, she made some good points.
kate says – reply to this

55

I don't really understand why you feel this is crazy, it's an unedited interview tape with a lot of pausing and interjection. All I see a mature woman talking with a lot of honesty and self-reflection about her life and her musical career. She's completely coherent and makes total sense. I'll concede she is taking herself a little seriously, but what artist doesn't? Compared to Pras she is a class act, refusing to air out the dirty laundry and personal issues of her working life out in public.

We've seen a lot of crazy behavior from her at shows, a lot of deviation from what normally is expected of her, but this isn't crazy. This is nothing compared to what we've seen from Paula. You're reaching with this.
Neneh says – reply to this

56

I used to love her! She's a shell of her former self! She reminds me of Macy Gray now! Which is NOT a compliment! I really do wonder what happened to her! Postpartum depression? Drugs? That bullshit trip she's on is not what will bring her back to the glory days! It's hard to watch someone with such a brilliant talent act and look the way she does now! She obvioulsy needs money or she wouldn't be doing this tour! It's sad, really; she's not driven for the love of the art anymore! Pack it up L.H., your time is up! Time to switch career! Can't be on top forever!
Kibbell says – reply to this

57

Jealous much, u fuckin bitches? She sounds pretty normal to me. She's an artist and therefore a little strange, but other than that she comes across pretty normal and she talks like an intelligent woman.
Laurynisreal says – reply to this

58

I can't agree that my girl is crazy. Lauryn is very deep. For anyone who takes the time to study African-American history and hip-hop culture…it would be evident that she has a signficant amount of knowledge and is staying true to herself. When we talk about CRACK AND CRAZY we need to think of Lohan, Spears and Hilton. It is easy and damn fun to be ignorant, but a lot harder to take the time to be reflexsive and think critically.
mary says – reply to this

what the hell happened to her? she was so cool a few years back, great looking, sexy, talented…. and now she's all wacko, i dont find it funny i used to admire her a lot

dishinit says – reply to this

61

What the fuck is up with really talented black chics like lauryn and Whitney who use to look hot throwing their talent and their looks away like this. There aren't many of you out there and the few that are left are nothing but talentless bootyshakers.
fred says – reply to this

62

does she ever look at the chick interviewing her? once? incredibly rude and self-important, she is.
Butt cleavage says – reply to this

63

she may look crazy but she's far more intelligent than most of the dumb ass women artists out there- God bless her for being fed up with the bull shit! She needs an extreme makeover though….
krusty says – reply to this

64

Drugs + Macy Gray + Orprah + Whitney and you get??……..

this cracked out has been. She has a gift from god that she has forgotten. She is here to SING, not spout of nonsenesical garbage. She is a singer, not a songwriter as everyeone she has ever worked with agrees. So, for the love of all that is holy……. SING ALREADY!
Markus says – reply to this

65

Hmmmm . . . I see where the eyelashes are a little batshit crazy, but I found it very difficult to find fault with her interview. A+++

Jeeeeze, hope that does not make me crazy!
Truth. says – reply to this

66

OK? Much ado about nothing? She comes off as a very intense person. This isn't the giggley dumb girl with the giant fake boobs. She basically comes-off as a CEO/executive type that's there on business, but isn't enjoying herself.

I think most of thew stupid comments here are coming from townies. WTF do you know about the world?
mshillspeaks says – reply to this

67

YOU FOOLS CAN MAKE JOKES ALL YOU WANT, BUT MS HILL IS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL. SHE HAS PLANTED A SEED WHETHER YOU WILL ADMIT IT OR NOT. SHE IS ONE OF A KIND AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HER WORK WHEN IT IS FINISH.

68

she is so intelligent and thoughtful…leave her alone perez…
alynn81 says – reply to this

69

Ok, Perez I love you so much & love what you got to say. But I did not see anything crazy about this interview. She only proved that maybe some of the stuff that has been said about Lauren is B>S !
Bettie says – reply to this

wow, talk about lack of eye contact! this bitch is really full of herself!!
Tammy Faye Baker says – reply to this

71

I love her makeup!
shes focused not crazy says – reply to this

72

she just seems focused, wise and a little kooky, but thats a beautiful thing. shes not "crazy" . LISTEN TO HER! she's brilliant and knows what shes talking about and is passionate about it

She may look crazy but she's far more intelligent than mosts artists out there. God bless her for speaking her mind and being fed up with the bull. But she could use an extreme makeover…..

Crack heads do not make that much sense.
T says – reply to this

76

I dont know wtf is up with Lauryn but she needs to get her life together. She used to be cute and seemed to have a great personality. Now she looks a hot mess with all that damn clown makeup on and that ugly afro and her demeanor is real dry! If she is going thru some spiritual thing then she need to hurry and find Jesus cuz she looks real unhappy.
rayne says – reply to this

77

i didn't think it was that crazy. maybe it's the methaphores she used that threw u off?? I think she's right about the whole doing music for yourself from ur heart…bringin' it back!! U go lauren!
And give her a break she just did a concert be4 the interview somaybe she was tired lol
john silva says – reply to this

Put down your crack pipe and pick up a book. I've never spent so much time waiting for somone to say somthing all while nothing was said.
jbee says – reply to this

79

Looks crazy but if you get past the clown make up she actually makes sense. Whatever the case she is emotionally fragile and I wish her the very best.
uppop says – reply to this

80

That wasn;t crazy at all. I do hope that she puts out an album soon. It's been too long.
Sean says – reply to this

81

Not crazy at all. Long-winded and boring… yes… but she's no Whitney. Undeserved comparison, IMO.
mark says – reply to this

82

Agreed! It's Scary Oprah!
Amy says – reply to this

83

She strikes me as more of a misunderstood soul than a crazy person. Her demeanor and phrasing is odd, yes, but only in the context of it not sounding like every other pop singer's rehearsed, please-the-masses, trying-to-sound-credible interview vernacular. I think she sounds rather insightful and deep in this clip. She takes herself, and her music, seriously — what's wrong with that?
peopleRstupid says – reply to this

84

#30 and others said it right…I thought she seemed very collected, thoughtful, and I am fascinated. Whitney Houston is considered crazy because she comes off as a Diva who is/was obviously on drugs. She would space out and was extremely incoherent.
Here you have a woman who is speaking eloquently and intelligently about the state of music and is figuring out the right time, place, and reason to release her music into the world. She seemed very genuine and polite. Oh ignorance.
wtf says – reply to this

85

dear lord she takes herself way too seriously. anyone who thinks that's intelligence speaking is just as stupid as her– she's obviously hopped up on some crazy stuff in that clip.
d says – reply to this

86

you kick people when they are down…she sounds fine to me..she has matured. Get over it
She will come out with a good album
wtf?!?!!??! says – reply to this

87

What are you talking about "Sensible and intelligent" Are you drunk?!!?!! She's rambling on like a street person! Stoned college sophomores make more sense than her
d says – reply to this

88

im going to have to disagree perez i think what she said was beautiful. reminds me of the state kelly clarkson is in…..being forced to "compromise" and make music that doesnt mean anything to her.

lauren sacrificed her chances for huge money and huge fame by backing out and doing what she believed….

like she says about the others in the industry right now…hmm…think BRITNEY…its dangerous and u need protection.
Lindsay says – reply to this

89

Holy shit! Bitch is into herself! Ridonculous
SHES not just another girl says – reply to this

90

SHE SOUNDS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT…guess that is crazy in the entertainment business. She sounds professional and very introspective- in fact, if you LISTEN instead of writing her off because shes not using any TRL speak such as OMG, like you know, well ummm, etc. this is actually a pretty great interview. She is an artist first and foremost and did not want to become comodified like BRITNEY SPEARS and all of what Lauryn is saying will happen to you if you are turned into a commercial entity HAS happened to Britney- some of you should play this interview back again and see how what she is saying applies to Britney and is THE TRUTH. Good to see a woman- of any color- sticking to what she believes in. CANT WAIT FOR THE LAURYN HILL COMEBACK!
Hunter says – reply to this

91

Dido! to kate, My Purpose, and Jae. 95% of the population would think that this interview was crazy b/c they are unconscious. Lauryn is brilliant beyond her years. You all know not what you do nor what you say. You are unconsciously incompetent. You don't know, that you dont know. God bless all the haters.

I will admit that her appearance is "different", but what she had to say was right on point. Just LISTEN to her.

I just saw Perez on Maury today (yes I watch Maury on my lunch break-hey, we live in a decadent world, lol.) Anyway, he was great, per usual.

I am so happy to see Perez meeting with success because so often, only the sterotypical types get work, and there's pleny of other funny talent to be had.

Love you Perez! Can't wait to Tivo your new show!!

P.S. Perez has beautiful teeth!

So Brilliant. Perez, you are without. You are so goofy but thanks for posting it otherwise I would never have seen it.

REALLY really talented people can't live in this world in peace. They are ridiculed and tormented, that is why so many incredible artists are thought to be weird and end up breaking down.

SHE IS SO BRILLIANT AND SO THOUGHT PROVOKING. THE REASON SHE NEVER MAYBE AN ALBUM IS SO CLEAR, money hungry people were trying to capitalize off of her while she was trying to create incredible music.

INCREDIBLE TALENT IS THE BIGGEST GIFT AND THE BIGGEST CURSE. A truly talented person can never live in peace and struggled to remain steady in such a painful world.

I would have paid to hear that interview. It's so interesting to listen to her words and thoughts.

The only person crazy is you Perez, you don't understand so you ridicule or maybe you just put the post up there with the rude tagline to try and be funny.

If you really think she is crazy then you aren't very bright. But there are alot of not very bright people in the world contaminating the world with their thoughts, that is why Lauren went into hiding in the first place.

Express your talents and be kind to those around you, you never know the inner struggle of those suffering. Express your talents and feel Gods Joy. God is love.
