Beyoncé’s Coachella performance was documented in a Netflix Original called Homecoming and is a tribute to HBCU and history.
Beyoncé’s Coachella performance aka Beychella just came out on Netflix and it is called Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. If you couldn’t make it to see her at Coachella, don’t fear because this performance feels like you are in the crowd.
In this performance, she had a drumline, orchestra, steppers, and a whole lot of dancers. Seeing Beyoncé sing her greatest songs with infused the drumline and orchestra was what we all needed. It was very creative and definitely brought the history of HBCU to Coachella.
Some of the best parts of this performance are seeing the crowd’s reactions and singing along. You see how happy everyone is and the crowd knows every single word. She even brought out some special guests during the performance which were Jay-Z, Destiny’s Child, and Solange. There was just so much love that night in Coachella.
In the documentary, she talks about how she wants what everyone is feeling on stage to be portrayed on camera. She definitely succeeds in that. You feel how much fun they are having and it looks like they are with their friends at a game just having a good time. The theme of this performance was absolutely perfect. Paying tribute to HBCU is what Coachella needed.
Another great thing about Homecoming is that you see behind the scenes of the performance and how much work it took to make this performance possible. They spent countless days and time making sure that everything was perfect and that everyone was seen. Beyoncé even goes a step further and talks about her personal struggles in this documentary. She is now a mother of three and you see how that has changed her and affected how she works and pushes herself than she did before
There was so much thought put into every detail to make this performance a memorable one. She brought the importance of music from her history to this performance and it was amazing. Not only did she do this performance but she is also dropping a live album of the performance too. What will she do next? We will have to watch and find out.
