Destiny's Child - Before They Were Famous

"We are Single ladies" if B only knew that line would make history one day.

[@quejay3137]

She was the comedic relief for the group.

[@XIIILXXXV]

Letoya Luckett was my favorite, her Lady Love album still jams !!! One of the best R&b voices of our time

[@blahblah162005]

Latavia was so happy and confident and now she seems so broken

[@kilolojenkins]

Right. I just watched a few interviews and she was always talking, to where on R&B Divas she's quiet and seems intimidated

[@daisyb4614]

Right

[@ChrisLdxSinger]

Now people can understand that Bey has never bleached her skin! Actually she was tanned for Dangerously in love album but that's all! Her we can see her skin and it's exactly the same today !

i wanted to be Latoya when I was a little girl. i thought she was so pretty.

[@Mzquietstorm78]

i MISS those harmonies!!! Yall can hate on Letoya and Latavia all yall want,but they can really sing! And when you put all those beautiful voices together it was MAGIC! I Loved "The writings on the wall!"!

Can we get destiny's child movie? .. Shit I wanna know what really happened.. Is it too early? 😂😭 let me know..

You did.. It's Dreamgirls lol

[@TINKERB121]

The funny thing about the Dreamgirls joke is that Destiny's Child was actually nothing like that.

[@aGwEENapple]

Precious Moments it has to be good, not cheesy and rushed. And it has to be REAL. Like the New Edition movie. They didn't lie about Bobby. Tell the real dirt.

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

Mathew was once in talks to do it with the ladies input he wanted permission from them to tell their lives just like xscape was supposed to get a movie but someone else wanted to do their version without their input.

[@annehamilton8190]

They're really come a long way, and real hard work does pay off, especially for Bey, Kelly and LeToya............May God Bless Latavia wherever she's at.

[@raebarr4665]

[@vanessaruiz4705]

people say beyonce is bleeching her skin, but to be honest... look at this. She has never been very dark at all. I have friends of white skin that get darker than her when they tan. Sure if she did any bleeching it doesnt look very different whatsoever.

[@dominiquee901]

I actually think they made her tan to be darker like Michelle and Kelly. And now that she's solo she doesn't really have to that

[@lovefood4eva1983]

No disrespect to michelle, I have nothing against her but this was and always be the best DC lineup. These 4 made better music in my opinion. The writings on the wall was my favorite album. All these girls gel really well together and all add a certain flavor to this group. When they got rid of latavia and letoya, I was like damn!

[@iBOXRIVER]

When they got rid of latoya and latavia they they started to make horrible bubblegum pop music. That annoying charlies angels song, that dumbass bootylicious song and that fuckin irritating surviver song. That whole era was horrible and they looked horrible. Destinys child never made good music again untill destiny fulfilled in 2005 in my opinion.

[@lovefood4eva1983]

***** yep, when they went mainstream their music was not the same, you can tell that it was catered to a certain audience but still had some flavor it all went down from there, they could have been bigger than TLC if they kept the original members,

They've come such a long way!!! They look more beautiful now, but this is fun to see them before the fame.

[@TraciJehan]

LaTavia is very well spoken and has a great speaking voice. She and Beyonce were the original members of the group. You are going to butt heads if you have an independent mind like Latavia and someone claiming to be 'the mother'. 'Sassy and Independent' will clash with 'wannabe my Mother' in any situation.

[@mangalyne6477]

Latovia was so pretty and the most confident. it hurts my heart to see that she went right down the leather and is struggling to climb again just coz Mr. knowlse did not let her shine during her time

[@inkpen9547]

It's amazing that LaTavia & LeToya were the one's who were more outgoing and down-to-earth of the group, yet they're the least famous. Kelly & Beyoncé always seem anti-social or like they have to put more effort into relaxing. They always look tense.

[@mimosa27]

The word you're looking for is "reserved". Beyoncé and Kelly were more reserved. They had a classy vibe, and that is why the other two girls were eliminated - they did not have that upscale aura, which would have appealed to a greater audience across all cultures. I'm glad they were eliminated... the short one had a trashy vibe.

Oh my goodness, I wish I could've seen them at 'Come Together Day' I live in Jacksonville! But I would've only been 8 yrs old at the time this was taped. I remember trying to be cool singing 'No,No,No' with my big cousins...Goodtimes.

[@brandoncruse8134]

Letoya's harmonies tho!!!👍🏾

[@Carmaker1]

This is March 1999 probably, as hearing LeToya say May 1st and having already worked with Darkchild, it's at least 1-2 months before May. Beyonce also looks the same as she did on the TWOTW front cover, so it's probably around the time of the album photo shoot. That's when they re-recorded Say My Name, which likely delayed the album to July 27th.

[@missnwo9563]

I wish they all still hung out maybe do a reunion with them and Michelle

[@reaunasims]

You can tell Beyoncé was always the focus serious one in the group. Plus she was the one that stood out the most. It’s always that one person that’s stands out, that had the whole package and that is Beyoncé.

[@quejay3137]

LeToya stood out to me the most. Even back then they said people gravitated to Bey or LeToya. However, she was very quiet in this interview.

[@sharmindecruz9757]

​@@quejay3137bey stood out because she had that 'it' factor, even when she wasnt speaking you couldnt take your eyes off her.

[@MichaelJfan4real]

They never quit the group. They wanted a new manager. They wanted to stay in the group but they didn't like what Matthew was doing so they asked for a new manager with the intention of staying in the group because they weren't getting any money. Matthew took it upon himself to find new girls. They didn't even find out they were out of the group until they say the Say My Name video on tv.

[@plprz]

They're performing the original song "No, No, No" . When they hooked up with Wyclef and he played what was supposed to be the remix track for the song, instead of singing slow to it, they sang fast according to the beat and decided to replace it with the original version that you hear in this video.
