Last night, just as the clock struck midnight, Solange Knowles' wallflower big sister Beyoncé Enola Gay-ed a whopping 32-track/video glistening album with little more than an afternoon in a pizza outfit as a marketing campaign. BEYONCE, whose title echoed the collective sentiments of the music world, brought Twitter to its caps-locked knees and sold 80,000 copies in three hours. But you already knew all that, because you're a sentient human being (or a very gifted house cat).
As is par for the course when virtually anything that happens in music, offices and coffee shops around the world began to thunder with the sounds of thousands of bloggers feverishly tapping out what they confidently believe to be The Definitive BEYONCE Thinkpiece™. And while we don't doubt that everyone with an Internet connection has 6,000 words' worth of very important and insightful things to say about Bey's latest banger, we decided to spare you. Come on. It's Friday. Here are 30 BEYONCE Thinkpieces We Could Have Written But Didn't...
