Well she may have asked us all [if we had] “any questions” when the plug was pulled and the power blew out at the Superbowl, but this time around, people actually do have questions for the pop diva.
“You Must Not Know ‘Bout Me” must obviously be something Beyonce doesn’t mind being so as, she’s currently being whispered about and raked over the question marks after appearing on the cover of Vogue Magazine (for its September issue) having pulled a Machiavelli Mag’iavelli of sorts.
The spread featured several shots of the singer—but no interview submitted with it (for print or in digital). Instead, she kinda “Time Magazine’s Most Influential People”d’em: Where there is no real interview attached [to the chosen candidates for the yearly issue] but instead; a forward/write up written by someone talking about each candidate chosen for the spread.
Well considering that fact that Beyonce’s spread went viral-with the only print being other celebs speaking about her (and the writer of the spread-Margo-Jefferson-admitting he had zero contact with Beyonce whatsoever), that sent tongues wagging and brows turned.
With no note to toll her reasoning (and nothing for people to talk about or learn new, about Blue, borrowed or true) folks are wondering just what the hell happened and why did she do that.
This isn’t the first time Beyonce did a hot spread with no official interview.
We blogged another magazine spread with Beyonce for CR Book and I don’t recall an interview there, either, just this “remix:”
Huff Post writes:
Beyoncé has not answered a direct question in more than a year, and Vogue’s September issue was no exception.
For the year’s biggest issue of the fashion magazine, Beyoncé appears in an editorial spread photographed by Mario Testino and in accompanying videos on Vogue.com, but she does not utter a single word for the cover story written by Margo Jefferson.
“It was definitely posed to me as … call it a think piece, if you want. I had no contact with her camp,” Jefferson told the New York Times. Words are wind for Mrs. Carter: “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.”
