Destiny's Child - IamGuruJay

I grew up on Destiny’s Child (pun intended). Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams were the premiere music group of their time. Who remembers when I’m A Survivor played on the radio non-stop?

Moreover, Destiny’s Child is responsible for adding words to our vocabulary such as Bootylicious. I bet Beyoncé and the girls unintentionally recruited for the Army with their Soldier song. Who recalls in that video Solange Knowles was pregnant?

Solange is an unofficial Destiny’s Child member. For years, many fans anticipated Solange to officially join the group. Right now is the perfect time for Destiny’s Child to reunite for a tour. Why not include Solange in the mix?

Let me explain my reasons. First, Beyoncé could use it for her legacy. Second, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams could use publicity. Lastly, Solange could use the tour to launch a future album.

Didn’t Beyoncé use Destiny’s Child as a launching pad? Can you imagine how fans would respond? This is a winning proposition.

As a marketing practitioner, this would be your dream. In the words of Kelly Clarkson, “some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.”

Destiny’s child deserves an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Additionally, Solange Knowles deserves a Grammy. But to earn one, she needs a chance.

Let Solange seize the opportunity before it’s too late. We’ve witnessed many entertainers fall into traps. All too often, singers are held back because record labels won’t put money up for their promotions. Some movie producers are guilty of cutting corners and slicing budgets.

Solange is a unique artist similar to Erykah Badu. I like her style. She’s free.

She should debut a new album soon. I believe the talented singer could go platinum if somehow she joined Destiny’s Child for a reunion tour.

Is it ironic that Queen Bee’s music creates buzz? If Beyoncé were an artist, she’d sculpt masterpieces. The Flawless songstress makes passionate ballads and original songs.

Like Tina Turner, Beyoncé drives a Hummer. Big wheels keep on turning and the proud Ava Maria singer keeps on singing. Bee rolls around in Rolls Royce’s as well as dough.

Because Beyoncé delivers like Fed Ex, she tops my favorite pop star list. There’s a ton of musicians who lookup to Queen Bee. What is more, music lovers appreciate her steadiness. While Partition receives the highest critical acclaim, other songs such as: Rocket, No Angel, XO and Drunk in Love are noteworthy titles on the self-titled Beyoncé album.

Who else dreamt of dating Beyoncé? Who remembers when the dream girl posed on the Sports Illustrated magazine cover? Do new fans understand the entertainer’s gradual rise? Nothing, except miracles, happens overnight.

Beyoncé became famous by constantly touring and making media appearances. In addition to practicing routines, Queen Bee practices humility. In spite of sometimes appearing narcissistic, the Houston native doesn’t have a problem with staying grounded.

Mrs. Knowles-Carter recently reached peak performance. Can you imagine the Freakum Dress creator getting freakier? By now, you’ve learned to never underestimate her sexiness.

The entertainer’s dance moves are mesmerizing. Fifth Harmony mimics Knowles’s choreography and discography. Fifth Harmony grew up imitating Destiny’s Child.

In retrospect, Beyoncé used Destiny’s Child as a steppingstone. Going solo may have been lucrative for Bee but at who’s expense? Furthermore, who’s really at fault for Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams’s fading fame?

Hopefully, Fifth Harmony stays the course like Coldplay. However, if it means creating the next Beyoncé they should breakup. You see they don’t make them like this anymore.

Beyoncé is famous for a reason. Becoming a celebrity is like playing poker. In the words of Tupac Shakur, Queen Bee got dealt a hell of a hand- 1 royal flush.
