Beyoncé: Destiny's Child Era!

As part of Beyoncé being the artist of the month, I have decided to go through the different eras of Beyoncé and give you a taste of the best of Beyoncé.

Firstly, we are starting with the Destiny's Child era. For those who are not aware, Beyoncé was part of one of the biggest selling girl groups, Destiny's Child.

The first incarnation of Destiny's Child consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett. As a group of four, they released their debut single, "No ,No, No" in 1997. They ended up releasing two albums as the group of four. These albums were "Destiny's Child, and "The Writing's On The Wall".

Here is a video selection from the beginning of this era. This is "Bills, Bills, Bills":

In December 1999, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson wanted to split from the group. By 2000, they split and were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. After five months of performing with Destiny's Child, Franklin left the group leaving Destiny's child as a trio and the final incarnation of the group.
In the final incarnation of the group, they released a string of hits, and a couple of albums including "Survivor" and "Destiny Fulfilled".
In between the albums "Survivor" and "Destiny Fulfilled", Beyoncé released her first solo album "Dangerously In Love" (Which I will come back to in a later post).
The group finally disbanded in 2006 after many rumours. Now I will post a few videos of their latest material.

"Survivor"

"Lose My Breath"


And there you have it - the Destiny's Child era in a nutshell!
