|Lauryn Hill's Voodoo Fest Set Didn't Go So Well

Lauryn Hill's set at New Orleans' Voodoo Festival didn't go so well, according to a report from Billboard. She took the stage around 40 minutes after her set time was scheduled to start, after apparently getting lost on the way from her hotel, and only played thirty minutes of what was supposed to be an hour-long set. Festival organizers cut her mic after she went over her allotted set time by 15 minutes. She kept performing even as Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" played her off, and she eventually left the stage after the lights dimmed. A rep for the festival told Billboard that she would finish her Voodoo Fest set on a different stage. Watch video of Hill getting cut off below.
