Stephen Daw: Is it rude to say “duh?” I’m not even sure who else would fit that moniker other than Beyoncé…
Kyle Denis: Yes.
Jason Lipshutz: Yes. No. Maybe? I have no idea! I can’t give a simple answer to this question because I feel like my answer changes every few months… and if that’s a cop-out, then so be it. All I’ll say is that Beyoncé’s greatness is undeniable.
Taylor Mims: Absolutely not a simple question, but yes.
Andrew Unterberger: YES.
