"It's hard for lightning to strike twice in the same family at the same time," then hesitates to add, "Beyoncé is perhaps more beautiful?" Before settling on this: "Beyoncé had something that made it click. Millions and millions of people became fans of hers. There's an extraordinary amount of work that goes into award performances, the shows, the tracks, the music, the production

You put musicians out on a tour, and some of them lose it. They're on five nights a week. The rigor of it is physically as challenging as being an athlete, and you'll hear of people breaking down. But I've heard of people who've toured with Beyoncé say that she'll say, "Nothing breaks me down.' Other people have success and it went away: but they did a whole season, and they think, Ahh, I'll do it on the other album. But you gotta give it to her; Beyoncé really wanted it more."
