Some of these have me chuckling
Toy sounds so pretty in some of these though
they both sound great and did their damn thing
Did this come up in your recommended too? :plzstop:
Tavia sounds crusty but I like what she brought to the Amazing Grace acapella.
Toya surprised me, there are some parts I thought was Bey all these years. Her tone would have been great on some of the songs Kelly leads.
Yea. I went to the person's page and saw they also uploaded the Bey and Kelly harmony parts too
and it's sooooo much longer ggghyjff

been telling ppl for YEARS
These girls sang on like 5 songs but they wanted to be treated as equal members
:omf:
yea toya and tav were equal members and are highly regarded to this by real dc fans lolz
They definitely were pivotal parts of the group, even
if it was mostly for looks. It was absolutely needed for the formula.
They were group members that didn't do as much work as the others yet wanted to be compensated as if they did
We also know what these girls sound like. Especially Tavia :unsure:

The esthetics are essential as well. They had been in the group for years. If they didn't want them there or wanted girls who contributed "MORE" then they shouldn't have been accepted from the inception. So now that I'm here, yes I will be requiring equal. And based on what Latoya has done musically she could've contributed more, so I'm inclined to think they just did what was asked of them and no more. Kelly Rowland ain't no more vocally skilled than Latoya and tbh Latoya gives me more personally. Glad they went to court and got their shit
I could see if we were discussing more lead vocals, but as a member of the group why is your voice not at least in the background harmonies of every song? This is part of why groups don't last cuz, if the song only has MY VOICE, how is it DESTINY'S CHIlD, and why are the girls who are lip syncing to my vocals expecting to get paid for it?
How do we know it was Toy & Tav's decision to not record on certain songs?
I guess we all go off the stories that came out in the media. They were too busy being distracted talking to the Jagged Edge twins and missing studio sessions

and this is exactly my point and why I'm not accepting this "They only did" shit. I fully believe that that girl's father not only always had solo aspirations for her but also pushed her to the front and made that group (and songs) beyonce heavy. Huge conflict of interest and those girls deserved their shit. They was good enough to do not only 1 album but 2. The issue started when they didnt wanna be doormats.

Bey also said she wrote Bootylicious on an airplane :dead:
The real original managers of Destiny's Child already debunked the theory that "Mathew pushed Beyonce to the forefront!"
Beyonce was chosen as the lead singer way back in Girl Tyme when Mathew wasn't even involved with the group
He only became the manager because he threatened to remove Beyonce if the real manager said no. Then she died and he took over but the group dynamics were already in place.
and Beyonce in the forefront is not stopping the rest the group from singing the harmonies.

Quiet as it's kept, a lot of the blame can go on the producers/songwriters too.
A lot of the time, they only want the lead singer's vocals on the song for "cohesiveness" or because of crunch time.
I have been in too many rooms and seen this happen with groups. I disagree with this 100% though.
I love a Danity Kane type group where all members get in the game and play, big or small contributions.
isolating the mess seems kinda redundant
considering their voices carried the whole project

yea it's not like Kelly had leads on multiple other songs already
I'm not really a fence riding kinda girl, but, I can see both sides of the argument here.
The other girls should've got more shine, on one hand.
The other girls were never fucking with and to this day can never fuck with Beyonce, on the other hand.
Both things are true and the chips kinda fell where they fell. I think they should all do an album one day, sans Farrah (Cause she's a bitch). Or at least a song.
Yeahhhhh it coulda been ANY 2 other girls in the group and you wouldn't notice they were changed out.

No they don't compare to Bey but why do y'all constantly feel the need to compare them or any other women in general to Beyonce?? Just enjoy and appreciate them for who they are. Beyonce, like Prince, Michael, Stevie and Whitney are once in a lifetime talents. No amount of practice or connections would make them comparable to Beyonce because she was given that gift.

At the time of Survivor Bey was getting DRAGGED. A large part of it was because she was always singing lead and always perched in the middle. So of course they switched it up when the heat got turned up.
QuoteI have to prove myself every day. It's really unfair, because nobody else has to do that. It's not Sisqo's fault when he sings lead. It's not Coko's fault that she sang lead. The haters make me feel bad about singing lead, when that should be something that I'm happy about. Sometimes I wish my father wasn't the manager, so people would just stop attacking me." She continues, "Whenever something goes wrong in the group, it's my fault. Blame
https://prince.org/msg/8/191810
QuoteAnd it ain't easy being Beyoncé. Never have the words "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" applied more. In Minnesota, she walked onstage and was greeted by a sign that read beyonce is a bitch! She recalls another time when a "hater" stood front row center mouthing the words, "You ain't cute, you ain't cute." It's a lot for one person to handle. "There's so much pressure on me," Beyoncé says, her voice cracking slightly. "I have to work double-time, because everybody in the audience is trying to say that the only reason I got something is because of my dad. I've got to be extra tight.

She continues, "Whenever something goes wrong in the group, it's my fault. Blame
Beyoncé. Somebody left the group, it's Beyoncé's fault. Kelly broke her toes [an injury sustained on the road that almost curtailed the tour], it's Beyoncé's fault."
One wonders what people will make of Beyoncé when she decides to take a break from the group and pursue solo projects. The lead singer denies published reports that she has already signed a three-record solo deal with Columbia for $1.5 million, but does confirm that all the members are negotiating solo deals. "Kelly wants to do an alternative album, and Michelle wants to do a gospel album."

They've been asked in interviews about keeping in touch with Beyonce and they talk around it but the answer is NO. They've all said that Renaissance was the first time they were all in the same room together and b4 that Toya and Tav had to meet her backstage like a fan....she never reached out or apologized for leaving her childhood friends struggling

This is part of why groups don't last cuz, if the song only has MY VOICE, how is it DESTINY'S CHIlD, and why are the girls who are lip syncing to my vocals expecting to get paid for it?
Girl bye, Beyonce and her family was gonna make sure she sung leads and backgrounds on every song...not to mention her name is listed as a writer or producer on every fuckin song.
Not you judging teenage girls who had pretty much no say so in their career and thinking they didn't want to do more in the group
:kii:
To this day all them girls are scared to talk and even utter a bad word about Beyanka....had Kelly and Michelle depressed for years chile
While my sista was on stage killing it like a muh va fuck ah, I was enraged, feeling it like a muh va fuck ah
so we can't judge teenage Toya and Tavia for being lazy, and distracted from doing their jobs
But you can in the same sentence blame everything on teenage Beyonce?
Then you wanna make them out to be liars now and say they're "scared" to talk about Bey?
:omf: :omf:
The math ain't mathing
Who are you to call them lazy? Were you in the rooms, practices and recordings with them? All the girls had been working since they were children and no I'm not about to blame or judge 15 yr old girls tf. I didn't blame everything on Beyonce? I said she had parents who were gonna make sure she was on everything and credited for everything when we know she don't write everything.
I can put blame on adult Bey though b/c when has she ever reached out to them or tried to build a relationship? They gotta stalk her down backstage at her tours and never hear from her again
:kii:
see, somehow you know what their relationship is currently and how they "stalk" her but I can't know that them girls were too lazy to sing their background vocals?
It's not logical bruh
You're being biased
They've been asked in interviews about keeping in touch with Beyonce and they talk around it but the answer is NO. They've all said that Renaissance was the first time they were all in the same room together and b4 that Toya and Tav had to meet her backstage like a fan....she never reached out or apologized for leaving her childhood friends struggling
https://people.com/music/beyonce-reunites-former-destinys-child-latavia-roberson/
you don't know whether or not she reached out and apologized. They all are on good terms and have been for years according to all of their interviews.
And what do you mean backstage like a fan, where else would they be during a concert if they're not singing?
:omg:

Not the acting credits. Eddie please :kii:

The amount of bad taste around here is always so surprising.
!!!!
Cause why the hell would they have needed more leads than they got?
DC wasn't En Vogue. Everyone didn't give VOCALS
:plzstop:
toy and tav have the girls in here bothered a bit
foundational selves

A lot of the time, they only want the lead singer's vocals on the song for "cohesiveness" or because of crunch time.
I have been in too many rooms and seen this happen with groups. I disagree with this 100% though.
I love a Danity Kane type group where all members get in the game and play, big or small contributions.
We heard what RL from Next said. he tried to have Kelly lead a song, but Mathew wasn't having it.

Dc wasn't a real group so this makes sense. A group formed to launch Beyoncé's career. That is why there was always imbalance & why Matthew snatched up girls tyme from that lady on her death bed.
The way the knowles used to act like that wasn't the intent in the 90s :plzstop:
When Matthew had Beyoncé out there claiming she wrote emotion :kii: so she can be seen as a multifaceted artist

I mean it doesn't take a blind man to see :omf:
It's funny to see the girls cry over Bey still in 2026 when she is legit THE benchmark and fruits wanna talk bout a Toya and Tavia :dead:

DC was definitely a real group
They just had a superstar lead singer IDK why yall act like that's unheard of. The Supremes was a group, Labelle was a group, the Jacksons was a group.
Destiny's Child was a group. It was not formed for Beyonce because her father did not start the group. She was already the lead singer when the original manager passed away and he took over.
