The real problem is that the photos are more boring than the attached essay. At least do a beautiful location shoot, or if you're going in the direction of simple black and white, why not do something timeless like Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent?

We know that words aren't her strongest suit. She communicates with her fans via pictures, by choice (or lack thereof).
She is a nice dancer & can hold a tune, so it's not such a big deal that talking isn't her thing.

Jenny, on the other hand, who is just as stupid as Forrest, isn't self-aware that she's stupid, and therefore can be represented here as Gaga, because, let's face it, Gaga also tried to kill herself and will probably, at some point, die of AIDS.
In conclusion, Beyoncé not giving interviews because she's aware she's a moron is a good thing, not a bad thing. With the invention of social media, she can still have a presence, without having to say a single word anymore.
(Note: Katy Perry is also a moron. She's not self-aware, unfortunately.)

No shade but it's for the best
Beyonce has no personality.
There's no point of her doing interviews because nobody is drawn to her personality. Beyonce is famous because of her talent and on stage persona. That why people used to joke and call her "Beyawnce" because she lacked personality and she is very repetitive.
She is a legend so it does not matter, plus her fans don't mind.

I don't necessarily like it and I wish she would do more interviews but the reality is, the fact that she doesn't do interviews adds to her mystique. It's part of why she's so huge.

Beyoncé is being smart with this. She always been leaning on the private side and is more letting her music do the talking which is being done since the 4 era. She wants to control what we see from her so she can maintain her public image while keeping some things to herself. Plus it leaves fans wanting more so that when she does drop new music they're all over it on the first day. And no she doesn't sound dumb, yall say that about every southern-styled accent.

Enough with being "private" and other lame excuses , she is not a good speaker and her knowledge is limited and it shows through her speaking, her management knows it and decided to keep her quite so she can be seen as this high figure like what happened to lady gaga back in TFM era.

Only you idiots would see it any other way than inspiring. Here's a woman, a BLACK woman at that in control. This is something rare, you just don't see it, especially for black female entertainers. How many careers has the media ruined? Countless. How many artists have become media products? Too many to count. How many meltdowns have we seen due to the media? More than enough. How many entertainers have done interviews because they had to; explain or defend themselves from the media lashings? The media sees these celebs as products, not human beings. The media will post the first juicy story before you can blink an eye.
Beyonce could have easily told Vogue to publish her picture with Blue at 11 months as the cover but, NOPE, Beyonce released it on her OWN time.. on her Instagram account. Beyonce could have easily sold her wedding footage to the highest buyer but, NOPE, she showed it on her OWN time, On The Run . Beyonce could have easily done a sit down interview about "elevator gate" answering all the questions the world wanted to know but, NOPE, she addressed it in her OWN way. Beyonce could have easily sold the first photos of Blue to the highest buyer but, NOPE, she posted them on her tumbler, her OWN time. Beyonce could have easily told her label to let the world know when her album was dropping but, NOPE, she did it on her own time. If Beyonce chooses to do a sit down interview it will be her choice, not because she has to. It's truly remarkable to see someone in control & calling the shots in their career. Just look Beyonce hasn't said a word and the media are making articles and think pieces about it. Powerful. Beyonce's stance on what she gives the media should be applauded, but your hatred for this woman blinds you. |
I will never understand why people write essays like this.. So inconvenient for people on the go like me. Summary is you love Beyonce and she can do what she wants. there.

Beyonce "has no personality" yet here are articles and the media wanting her to do interviews reason this topic is being disgusted. Make sense next time. If she had no personality or nothing interesting to say do you think her not doing them would make headlines or them knowing the last time she did one. They wouldn't care now would they? 
Beyonce can post her message on her personal youtube channel and it's on every website, daytime show, news channel and viewed by millions. People very well care about what she has to say.

She sure can do what she wants, it's HER career, not mines. I never understand how you so called "non- fans" are more upset than her actual fans ... Let us be upset.

Beyonce gives people/media etc.. just enough. Enough to keep ALL of US including you pressed girls wanting and waiting for more. I mean, just look 21 pages over Beyonce saying NOTHING. She is that BISH.

Because it's BEYONCE. That alone speaks volumes in itself. In other words people really care about what she has to say.

Beyonce has been doing interviews for almost 20 years and YOU have been watching and LISTENING each step of the way.
So all your "logic" is a fail.

Ms. Jefferson said: “She has to be studying how effective her interviews have been so far. She may have decided that they do not contribute as dazzlingly to the portrait of Beyoncé as the other stuff. It’s a perfectly reasonable decision.”

Interviews never contributed positively to her image because she just doesnt come across as interesting or intelligent, so its better for her to avoid them.
