R&B Guru 2008-07-21 19:24:46 Total Posts: 2527 | So the Internets lit up today as the girls of Destiny's Child talked about a reunion album in 2009. What do you guys think? Prefer the girls together, or apart? Think they'll still be able to sell millions? The part htat interested me was that the girls said they never "actually broke up." Mmmhmmm, that's one way of saying it :). But yea, 2009, new Destiny's Child. Seems we keep hearing more and more R&B acts coming back :). | |||
Sonofsoul 2008-07-22 05:54:10 Total Posts: 212 | Eh, I was never a huge Destiny's Child fan. I did own "Writing's On the Wall" though...the last and only one I owned (Lord knows where it is now). Though I enjoyed that CD (they did a song w/ Next, "If You Leave"...love that song and should've been a single), they're a little to "club" driven for me. They did do an awesome rendition of the national anthem in the NBA all-star game in houston a few years back...you tube it. So in all, I'm not excited and won't buy the album. As for their solo careers, Beyonce is the only one I like...not a knock on the others | |||
Buttaflyy 2008-07-22 08:41:13 Total Posts: 15 | I think their stint as a group is done. Mostly, because girl groups tend to generally not have good comebacks oncce they've broken up or taken a break. However, if Beyonce can dig deep and crank out another "Dangerously in Love" (the song, not the album) it will be hot whether or not the masses buy it. At least that's my opinion. On the Survivor CD it was the bizness. This should have been a single! Whomever she was singing about, she loved that dude! LOL! She re-did it for the Dangerously in Love album but the musical arrangement on it was flat. :( | |||
R&B Guru 2008-07-22 09:07:50 Total Posts: 2527 | Soul, I hear you on that one and honestly, I think most guys will be in the same category. No matter how good or bad Destiny's Child music was, it was very emphatic on girl power. Bills, Bills, Bills, Bugaboo, Survivor. Those aren't really jams a guy would be blasting in his car as he drives along. What I thought was so interesting is that the girls seemed to shed some of these feelings with their last cd, Destiny Fulfilled. Cater 2 U sent a very different message than those early hits. Which message do you think the girls will keep with their latest work? You've got an interesting point there Buttaflyy. Can anyone really identify a girl group that's reunited and put something out? I know EnVogue is working on it now too, but I haven't seen any results yet. Do you think the girl groups fail in comebacks because of drama or just inability to reconnect on what made them great? | |||

The only reason they called it their last was to sell tixs for the tour. Lets face it we all knew the tour was doing poorly. And all the solo projects have not been that hot. Even Ms. Beyonce is slowing down. The only way I'm buying into it is if they say Letoya is coming back. And she is working on sophmore album. | |||
R&B Guru 2008-07-22 22:07:53 Total Posts: 2527 | I was starting to get worried you'd run off on us ilikeit :). Hadn't seen you on all day lol. I'm heading to bed but I wanted to comment on that before I went. I think it's pretty safe to say you won't be buying their album if it's on that condition. I know if I was Letoya, I'd be fuming after the way her and LaTavia Roberson were treated. Those girls had been in the group for so long and helped build it up. Only to one day just be replaced like there was nothing to it. Like hell I'd be willing to join up again after that :). As a fun sidenote, my brother actually met up with Letoya at the launch party for her debut album. Check it: http://popoffproductions.net/images/popoff_toya.jpg He's been in contact with her a couple times since then and I've considered doing a phone interview with her but just haven't ever motivated myself to do it. | |||
ilikeit 2008-07-22 23:55:43 Total Posts: 1156 | LoL that's funny. First off don't worry I'm not going anywhere I'll be writing along time. Not even Rolling Stone could pull me away from this website LOL. Second you need to pull yourself together and do that interview because that is my girl I love Ms. Letoya LOL. So get it done or set it up so I can meet her. Ha Ha Ha. | |||
TLCBeyonceTLC 2009-08-02 22:27:30 Total Posts: 31 | Well....There Is NO Truth For A "Reunion" Album Including ALL The Past Members Of Destiny's Child....However There Is One More Album For The Group (Beyonce', Michelle, & Kelly) Have To Fulfill Due To Their Contract With Columbia Records, But That Album Will Be Done No Time Soon.... | |||
jujumusiq 2009-08-03 11:19:43 Total Posts: 28 | Honestly, I think I'd probably buy it. I used to LOVE Destiny's Child and I had no idea they were doing a reunion album! And oh Ms. Letoya, she's my girl! | |||
R&B Guru 2009-08-03 17:31:06 Total Posts: 2527 | Yea, it proved rumors through the grapevine. Honestly, it's hard to imagine the girls doing anything together again. While Kelly and Michelle are getting their own two feet, I just worry Beyonce's time in the spotlight will make her even more of a force to be reckoned with as a group. | |||

ilikeit 2009-08-04 05:04:44 Total Posts: 1156 | First off just because they have one album left on their contract with Columbia doesn't mean their will be another album. It just means they can't sign with someone else before meeting their contract with Columbia. Michelle and Kelly have showed in the media that they have been burned by Matthew just like the other girls so trust me when I tell you their won't be another Destiny Child's album. Beyonce don't need it. So it won't get done, because it's her who doesn't want it. That label is making money hand over fist with Beyonce being solo they could care less about a Destiny Child's last album. | |||
ilikeit 2009-08-04 05:07:08 Total Posts: 1156 | And Moofu I saw Beyonce live she is not overrated. She sings better live than on her record. I have no reason to lie. I didn't like her at first myself. But I will always give credit where credit is due. | |||
lpc26 2009-08-04 19:03:52 Total Posts: 732 | I would buy the album if LeToya and LaTavia were back in the group with Beyonce and Kelly. I like them better together than the DC3. | |||
