Concert Review: Lauryn Hill's 25th 'Miseducation' celebration passes with a grade curve
"25 years of support. 25 years of love. it's our first show, it's a little challenging because we're home, and I've been emotional." Those were the words Lauryn Hill spoke to an adoring crowd as she kicked off the "Ms. Lauryn Hill & Fugees: Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour." Throughout the night, the artist who now styles herself as Ms. Lauryn Hill, re-lived songs from her iconic album in Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center, located about 20 minutes away from her hometown of East Orange. Standing regally with flowy black pants, jeweled sunglasses and a white shirt with oversized balloon sleeves covered by an enormous, reddish floral-like cape, Hill triumphantly proclaimed, "New Jersey, I'm home!"
