    A lot of the hive already had the legendary Beychella audio but nothing compares to a project straight from the queen herself. Of course being the audio from the legendary performance albums was already going to be grand. But it’s the additions of Blue Ivy’s vocals, the cover of Before I Let Go and the first official release of I Been On is what really pushes this album over the edge.A lot of the hive already had the legendary Beychella audio but nothing compares to a project straight from the queen herself.

    In addition, there are three fat pluses in negative reviews about the company, which few people think about. But still, we, marketers, should just be able to look at such things not as it is customary to do it in “normal " people:

    Beyoncé continues to lead the charge of Pop stars that are no longer content on being mere idols to many but are more focused on their legacies and the people they inspire and uplift. Like She rightfully said 'I have a responsibility to do what's right and not what's most popular'. Her adoration of HBCU's and black excellence is very well placed and touching!

Like She rightfully said 'I have a responsibility to do what's right and not what's most popular'. Her adoration of HBCU's and black excellence is very well placed and touching! She takes great delight and great pride in her history and her craft and that's what sets her apart! This is a woman who continues to gamble with her career and come out on top every time. She may ruffle a few feathers but that's ok, visionaries and selfless individuals normally do when they force the general public to think. There are many who are quietly waiting on this legends downfall, as I've seen misguided fans of other lazy Pop stars begging her to step aside so her younger peers can shine. However it's moments like this remind us how superior she is and begs the question, WHY SHOULD SHE STEP ASIDE? Work ethic and drive is everything as well as having an understanding of one's self that goes way beyond the superficial and radio hits. She's a perfectionist whose talent, drive, and mastery over her craft remains unmatched and that simply cannot be replaced by mediocrity. HOMECOMING reminds us why we loved Beyoncé in the first place. We keep setting peaks for her with each new and iconic release, and she keeps smashing those barriers of limits placed upon her. Can't wait to see what the future brings! Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is a super Storm riding a tide of endless creativity. Music's rightful heir has more than earned her throne, a throne that will not be sullied by laziness. Hard work has been her bread and butter for many years Collapse

Our Yoncé deserves a moment to step back; in just over five years she's released two visual albums, a collaborative record with her husband in the wake of publicly handling his infidelity, went on four massive world tours, and mercifully finally injected activism into her music (did I mention she gave birth to twins in the middle of all that?). If she were an HBCU student majoring in the art of being an entertainer, her 2018 Coachella appearance could be considered a capstone project of her new era of work (even it this pulls much more from the massively underrated 4 than I thought it would!), and something that sets her up to graduate summa cum laude. All hail the homecoming queen.

    Long segments don't even feature Beyoncé, which can be trying on the album but in the film are understood as the accompaniment to dance routines and skits.

    Beyoncé’s ambitions outstrip those of her peers. ... Yes, Homecoming is one of the greatest live albums ever. If nothing else, the intention behind her performance makes it so. ... So much action. So many cues and rhythms, so much narrative momentum. Its melodic and rhythmic quotes need footnotes to fully absorb, and her voice resonates with history. Still, calling it the best live album of all time may be a stretch. ... Hell if I know, but it ranks way, way up there. ... So yeah, it’s fair to say that Beyoncé, and this work, is genius.

    Not only is Homecoming an artistically-sound triumph, it’s a cultural touchstone and, quite possibly, the live album of a generation.
