Beyonce’s return earned high marks from at least one prominent member of the music business. Her husband Jay-Z tweeted: "I'm gonna say this and then I'm gonna end mine." BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period.”

The singer also received praise this week from First Lady Michelle Obama, who told People if she could lead another life, she’d like to be a singer.

"If I had some gift, I'd be Beyonce," Obama said.

The First Lady may have the opportunity to take notes this weekend. The Associated Press reports she is attending Beyonce's concert Saturday night. The singer’s run at Revel goes through Monday.
