Destiny's Child - Bug A Boo (Live 1999) [Beyoncé, Kelly & LeToya]

[@KingWelshy]

LeToya was like since my mic off ima put my all in these moves... She threw down this cute routine

[@yoshrevira5745]

Lmao

[@lucybunwa5833]

Why was it off

[@yoshrevira5745]

Lucy Bunwa only Beyonce's Mic is supposed to be on until the third part of the song.

[@KingWelshy]

Lucy Bunwa Due to Bey only having leads and the hook using the backing track the mics are lowered or muted off until others need to add any vocal parts outside of backing track like when Kelly did harmonies at the end.

[@kokolatte825]

Good for you for being a fan and all, but let's be honest Michelle was in the group for the most profitable time period. Michelle's success in the group has more to do with timing than with talent or looks or anything. Those of us who were original DC fans could DEFINITELY see this trio better than Michelle my belle. No offense to Michelle.

[@dontellahfonne]

True, however, LeToya and LaTavia were still getting royalty checks from the writing they did on TWOTW, DC's best selling album

To be honest Latoya didn't really need DC she's better off as a solo and I love me some Michelle

[@rashadhaughton22]

[@stellamonganga8439]

I'm a part of the BeyHive and the DC3 BUT I feel like LeToya and LaTavia were right for not having Matthew as their manager because no offence but isn't it weird how Beyoncé family was part of it? Matthew - manager, Tina - designer and Solange - back up dancer and Beyoncé always had the best clothes, she was always in the center no offence but I feel like it was just a ploy to break out Beyoncé's solo career

[@stellamonganga8439]

Abilio Campos i understand what you're saying but in my opinion the other members didnt get to sing as much as Beyoncé like the other girls would be singing backround and Beyoncé as usual in the center and singing all the damn songs

[@redzoom7857]

Stella Monganga With no Mathew, the group wouldn't have gotten off the ground. Stone cold facts. And Beyoncé was a lead singer, like tons of leads in groups before her.

[@Scanned]

That's fine, but they had their own legitimate reasons for not wanting Mathew as their own solo management or representation. Everyone knew their role in the group. It was never about that.

[@a_awake]

MJ Zoom Actually DC got their record real at Sony because of their original manager Andretta Tillman. She built the group and got them signed but passed away as their first album was being released. Matthew swooped in and ran with the group after that.

[@jaysmith9933]

NATsoHIGH ! That isn't true. Matthew did in fact get them their deal. Go to the 14:00 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ69noVugbx0g9U Teresa Lababera White the A & R for Columbia who brought DC to the label talks in that video about how it was Matthew who sent her the initial package on the girls that got her attention. There's also footage in that clip of their first audition with Columbia where Matthew stops them mid performance and chastises them for swimming the day before so he was clearly running the show back then. (Part 2) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPXoq2pns-Wi9U Part 2 expounds further, they didn't end up getting a deal with Columbia at that time, but they did get one with Ekektra that eventually fell through. After the deal with Elekra flopped a few years later, Teresa states that it was Matthew who reached back out to her to see if she was still interested and it was that contact that got the girls the showcase that resulted in their final deal. LaTavia and LeToya have never ever disputed the accounts of how essential Matthew's efforts and sacrifices were in getting them signed.

LeToya was the perfect candidate for this line-up, with Kelly and Beyoncé, all LeToya wanted do is to correct financial inequality in Management, just so that she can shine as a star too and to demonstrate her Vocal talent with Kelly and Beyoncé . . .This is where it becomes awkward where the Group Manager is related to someone in the group, therefore they'd get to sing lead. . . anyways there will always be ONE lead singer in most Girl Bands.
