Exactly.

And much like the comparison above, certain artists don't need to completely reinvent their songs and create new choreo for every song on tour. That's reserved for artists who mostly walk around and lip-sync or who have made that style of performing their branded persona because that is how they stay interesting.
Also everyone complaining that it's the same old stuff obviously doesn't know Beyonce's performances very well because there are new elements. It seems they see one consistent aspect and assume its all that way. Certainly there is repeated elements. She is always taking what she's done in her performances and improving. It's still an evolution though. And if no Revel videos got out, much of this would have been new to the world except for the people who saw her on those four nights. (Which is like criticizing her on the fifth date for copying what she did on the first four dates of her tour).
And lastly, we all know Beyonce is heavily involved in the process of everything she does. She's her own manager after all. She's not an artist where it's all put together for her and then she comes and learns it all. Beyonce is directly involved in lighting, staging, choreography, musical arrangement, costumes etc. It's her style that comes through. It's a Beyonce concert 100%. Not a marketing concert. People always criticize her for being "fake" but how is that not more honest of a show than just miming the moves for an hour and a half?
