After seeing this lineup, I knew I couldn&#8217;t miss it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Feb 15, music lovers stood in line with their required donation of four canned goods waiting to enter Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition Center. Upon entering, the smell of Jamaican cuisine and the sounds of reggae music captured your senses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thousands stood enjoying the tunes, while a few others laid out on a blanket on the hard cement ground. I, on the other hand, was glad to be a part of the few who brought chairs. Without the grass to lay on like at Virginia Key Beach\u2014last year\u2019s 9 Mile venue\u2014the experience isn\u2019t quite as relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people seemed satisfied with the new location, but there was one specific difference that turned out to be a great disappointment. This year, the event organizers decided it would be a good idea to have two stages. In actuality it was a major inconvenience causing attendees to shuffle back and forth through the crowd from one stage to another. Many people complained about missing performances due to the disorganization. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides shuffling between performances, the schedule\u2014which wasn\u2019t posted on the official Facebook page until the actual day of the concert\u2014wasn\u2019t even accurate, giving us yet another reason to be unsatisfied customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the main stage, Shaggy pumped up the crowd with an energetic set including hits like \u2018Boombastic\u2019 and &#8216;It Wasn&#8217;t Me\u2019. After singing one of his newest songs, &#8216;Fight This Feeling&#8217; Shaggy still seems to be stirring up a frenzy in the reggae world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon after, the Grammy-winning hit-maker Sean Paul took the stage to provide the crowd with a fun and nostalgic performance. Sean Paul was far from a letdown singing some of his top chart hits &#8216;Like Glue,\u2019 \u2018Get Busy\u2019 and \u2018Infiltrate&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In between setting up for the next performance, Vanessa Carlton\u2019s \u2018A Thousand Miles\u2019 was played through the speakers as a joke to the Caucasian people in attendance. It was a moment no one seemed offended by, as people of all races laughed and sang along to the catchy hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, the moment I was waiting for was finally unfolding before my own eyes: \u201cI know, I know, Miami knows this tune,\u201d Lauryn Hill said to the restless crowd before beginning her set with a different version of the Fugees\u2019 \u00a0\u201cKilling Him Softly,\u201d a rendition which the crowd didn&#8217;t react positively to as they all just watched in silence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who like to sing along, Hill\u2019s performance was quite a disappointment, as it was impossible with the new renditions. Luckily, the eight-time Grammy-winner later included the original version of \u201cKilling Him Softly<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before performing a lively version of \u201cEverything Is Everything,\u201d seguing to an energized version of \u2018Doo-Wop (That Thing)\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her fiery spirit manifested on stage through a rapid version of \u201cFu-Gee-La\u201d and \u201cHow Many Mics,\u201d before she wrapped up the wonderful experience with with her own interpretation of Bob Marley\u2019s \u00a0\u201cJammin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were more low points than high ones throughout the night as the entire festival felt rushed in general. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen, Damian and Julian Marley were set to take the stage at 9:35 p.m., but we were still anxiously waiting for about another half hour before they hit the stage. As they do every year, \u00a0the three brothers did justice to their father\u2018s name singing some of his most legendary songs like \u201cGet Up, Stand Up\u201d \u201cThree Little Birds\u201d and \u201cBuffalo Soldier.\u201d With a hard 11 p.m. shutdown time however, their set was sadly cut short. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 21 years of putting together this festival, you would think it would be one of the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some advice for the event organizers; stick to what works and plan accordingly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, with good company and great music it was still a night well spent<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lauryn Hill, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Mavado, and Tito El Bambino were only a few of the the artists scheduled to perform at the 21st annual 9 Mile Music Festival.
