Lauryn Hill v. Esperanza Spalding: Who has more hair? :)

I was confused when I heard the news that Esperanza Spalding won the Grammy for best new artist.  New artist?  Even a music ignoramus like me knows of her and her music from two-plus years ago.  I have even gifted her music CDs--ok, I did that once!

Oh well ... I like her and her music.  I suppose she became that much more of an interest for me thanks to the lengthy profile the New Yorker had some time ago.  Her Oregon (Portland) roots help too ...

Anyway, back to the hair!  Doesn't her hair pale next to Lauryn Hill's? :)
Back to Spalding; here she is performing her version of Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed"



And here is one of my favorites by Lauryn Hill, which is also a cover version:
