The Way it Started: Singer of the Pop-Group

 
  Beyonce Knowles started her career as a singer not yet a star in modern and extra-popular group “Destiny’s Child” in 1993; they were even called “biggest selling female groups”. The first group members were Beyonce Knowles, LaToya Luckett, LaTavia Roberson and Kelly Rowland. Beyonce and LaTavia Roberson had been thinking of singing since school, later Kelly Rowland accompanied their duet, in 1993 LaToya Luckett joined the group. The Beyonce’s father was the manager. The girls had to sing for themselves, for friends and restaurant visitors for four long years. Only in 1997 Destiny’s Child concluded their first contract with Columbia Records and issue their first single “Killing Time”, which became a soundtrack to the “Men In Black” movie. The debut album comes in February 1998 with help of such famous producers as Timbaland, R.Kelly, Wyclef Jean, Missy Elliott. The single “No No No” in recorded in a funk style got to the Top Ten of USA and GB. The superhits “With Me” and “Get On The Bus” became soundtracks for “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” movie.
  In the summer 1999 the group released the second album (no less successful then the previous one) called “The Writing’s On The Wall”. The music track “Bills, Bills, Bills” was extremely popular and headed the top chart of Billboard magazine. Unfortunately, in February 2000 LaTavia Roberson and LaToya   Luckett left the group. Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams replaced the singers
and in March 2000 Destiny’s Child released new song “Say My Name”. Tis single was also very successful and got the first place at Top 100 in US.
  In August 2000 Farrah Franklin left the pop-quartet. The musi? trio Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle recorded successful and popular singles “Jumpin’, Jumpin” and “Independent Women Part 1”. In March 2001 the girls release new album “Survivor” the music tracks “Suvivor” and “Bootylicious” got the leading positions in world music charts. In October 2001 the trio released their last album “8 Days Of Christmas”. In a year the girls continue their music career separately as singers. The girls are now intended to deal with their own personal projects in different show-business areas. The last appearance of Destiny’s Child as a pop-group was supposed to be in September, 10 in Vancouver.
  The first one from ex- Destiny’s who started their independent career was Michelle Williams with her debut album “Heart to Yours”. And two years later the second album “Do You Know” was issued. She decided to work in gospel style, not in pop-style. Then Michelle tried herself in musical “Aida”, replacing Tony Braxton.
  The second one was Kelly Rowland with her debut album “Simply Deep” in October, 2002 and later with second successful album “Ms.Kelly” in summer 2007.
  And what about Beyonce she started her independent music way with single “Work It Out” in best pop-style. But unfortunately it didn’t bring her success, despite the fact that it became a soundtrack for “Austin Powers: Gold Member” where she also stared as Austin Power’s girlfriend. The main part of the songs from this album was written in same pop-style of Destiny’s Child - Beyonce had to start her sole career one more time to show the world the new Beyonce.
