I guess singing live hundreds of times (see Mrs. Carter Tour) is overshadowed by one or two measly performances in which the backtrack was louder than her live vocals. I though this album would put to rest all those ridiculous accusations about promoting an unattainable image for young girls.

NPR is a really serious/politically oriented news outlet and their audience has no tolerance for pieces about pop stars, let alone pop stars' fan bases.

They'll live tho.
Some parts of that article had me dying like the part where girl tweeted the journalists' phone number warning the rest of the hive and her trying to stop Hive members for interviews at the shows only to be told to swerve:
Back at Barclays, this time months later, I stood outside, in the winter, at Beyoncé's last show in Brooklyn and tried to get some of her fans to talk with me. I started with groups. People with "go-for-it" Beyoncé-like style. High heels. Studded loafers. Fur vests. Red talons. I approached one group of young ladies with Lady Godiva-long weaves and asked them if they would answer a few questions for a piece I'm working on.
"No, boo, no questions," their "leader" said, holding her phone to her face like I was paparazzi. "We are late for the show."
