Michelle's vocals from Survivor
somehow Mathew didn't block her from singing bridges and harmonies all through this album

Because Michelle is a VOCALIST

[Kalifornia.]

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.

I 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

And 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.

I 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

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."

I can't find the actual article online, but those quotes were from this edition of Vibe:

[Ulysses]

Are we still going to pretend that Tav and Toy are equally as talented as Bey? Better yet, equally as talented as MICHELLE even??

[RAY7]

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?

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

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?
  
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
 

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

[Kalifornia.]

Talent is subjective. Bey may be better on stage, but Toya is a better actress.

[Ulysses]

Oh. So Toya being a better actress means she should have had more parts singing on their albums? 

[Andthecategoryis...]

Talent is subjective. Bey may be better on stage, but Toya is a better actress.

I'm talking about as an all around artist/entertainer and not you going up for that cheap Tubi acting that Letoya be doing
 

[Kalifornia.]

When did I say that?

Bey is a better singer, but Toya was capable of taking more leads than she got.

[Ulysses]

What movie was Toya in? Was it a Hallmark movie or sumn?

Michelle's vocals from Survivor

Because Michelle is a VOCALIST

With a cringe worthy tone. I love some Michelle but her voice only works on certain songs or when she can control that tone. Also, Michelle barely got parts...we could combine all her DC parts in a 20 min video or less

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

Michelle had bridges on pretty much every song on Survivor, 8 Days of Xmas and Destiny Fulfilled

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:
