    The fact that she hadn't even performed her biggest hit - halo - and us as viewers had not noticed that, proves that she is at another league of her own. All the songs performed were hits, with music ranging from opera to rock to RNB to pop. Beyoncé once again proved to the world the power she posses in effortlessly switching genres, and doing it so beautifully.

    Beyoncé's live shows have always been hailed, acclaimed and loved. The singer recognized as the best touring artist of the decade knows how to encapsulate the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival experience in a live album.

    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! She takes great delight andBeyoncé 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! 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… Expand

    An incredible piece of work. Only a true vocalist can put out a 40 track live album and keep you engaged through every song. Amazing.

    Beyonce is always doing the same thing, the same kind of music, dancings... Is not enough? Can't you change a little bit and do some different, some new stuff? She is an amazing singer, one of the best, her voice is great, but if you listen to 1 album, you can say that you had listen to all because they're very similar.

    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.
