DC3 (Destiny's Child Part II)

Diva7401 · #1 05-02-2001, 07:15 PM

I did my SEARCH....I counsulted with the MIC (Moderator In Charge) about beginning a new thread about Destiny's Child. The other one is getting quite long.

Anyway, I purchased the new CD yesterday, and I must say I should have gotten a BUCKET OF CHICKEN, FRIES & ALL THE HOT SAUCE THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME for my $12.50 that I spent on that CD. I am truly Disappointed. I can't believe that Beyonce was on MTV BRAGGING about writing/producing such silly songs with those "shallow" lyrics. The only song worth listening to is "Emotion" the Bee Gee's REMAKE and in that song "SOMEBODY" is really "TRYING" to sound like "MARIAH" What's REALLY going on? And when did it become customery to sing about "freakin'" and "Praising the Lord" on the same CD??
**My people, I am NOT HATING, really I'm not...I just expected a little MORE from a Platinum Selling-Grammy Winning Group**

(I'm putting my "Earth Wind & Fire's Greatest Hit's" back in my CD player ASAP)

I totally agree! I borrowed the CD yesterday from my friend and I was really disappointed!! The last CD was good and I think that was their peak. Question: Why was Beyonce whispering to the members of the group during the time they were being interviewed?

I like it. I think all the tracks are nice except for "Story of Beauty". Besides that, I think it's pretty tight. Beyoncé's writing is pretty good - especially "Dangerously in Love" - I feel that song!

Ok, I tried to look thru the 1000 posts on the If you hated... thread. I have a question. I saw a commercial for an MTV special that's airing next Tuesday called "Carmen" starring the original "Lem" from the movie "Soul Food". Is Beyonce playing Carmen? I think it's supposed to be a "hipopera" (or something to that effect).

Ok so, I'm checking out this special of MTV's (I missed it due to work and school) and I'm really understanding why everyone says Beyonce's country behind needed a perm!! Kelly's REd hair leaves me sick! Do you think that since her previous haircut got so much attention and popularity the Knowles-n-nem made her change it?

LOL...LIKE I said in that other thread, I get mine EVERY 6 weeks, like clockwork....

Where was I yesterday? Gettin' that perm...

I didn't like the CD. It had a few alright songs. But it sounds more alternative than R&B. Some of the songs are kind of corny. I wouldn't pay my money for it.

Is it me or does anyone notice how Kelly's hair is *red* all of a sudden. Remember how Farrah said that the momma said someone has to have red hair in the group. And has anyone heard the song Nasty Girl. How can they talk about anyone with the sh*t they wear.

And talk about looking stank. What was that. You can tell that a young person wrote the lyris to their cd. Some of the words to some of those songs are GHETTOFABIOULOS.. To me, Michelle can really sing but it seems like on the cd she is holding herself back. Why? My mom says that because she can't take away from the leading singer. Notice when she was singing with her group on MTV, she was blowing.And last but not least, All Kelly needed was some pom-poms and she would have made the perfect cheerleader for Beyonce!

ps on a good note i love the song Dangerously in Love..its a beautiful ballad!!but the rest of that cd; What Were They Thinking

I don't know. I heard Michelle (Tenetra) talk on the Doug Banks show yesterday morning and she was GHETTO.

I'm not a big DC child, but at least Beyonce and Kelly use standard english, my goodness.

On a lighter note, that Michelle (Tenetra) can sing her butt off. I wish Beyonce's straining butt would share the spot-light sometimes.

Kelly is all right, though I do think that she rides Beyonce's bra strap a little too tightly, hell, she actually swings from it at times, but I guess she knows which side her bread is buttered on.

Yeah, I saw them on MTV yesterday. It said "live", but I think it was the re-run from last weekend. Anyway, when I flipped to the channel, Michelle was in the middle of talkin' about something (I missed the first part of her rant), but rather than just ending the sentence...she just kept saying "what can I say?"...and, making this dumb face at the camera...UGH...I don't know about them...Now, Beyonce's mom (eventhough she is very pretty) is coming out with HER clothing line...first Puffy, d@mn J-Lo Ho-wear, Rock-a-wear, Wu-Wear, Phat Farm, freakin' No Limit...? It's just a bit much...I don't even think the Wu-Wear store on Shao Lin (Staten Island) is open anymore. Jennifer Lopez had the nerve to say if she wasn't in entertainment she'd be designin'...now, she KNOW she lyin'...I bet she didn't take not nah art, fashion merchandising, fashion designing, etc. class in school...if she WENT to school for that matter...I'm gettin' tired of all of their @sses. ***folding my arms across my chest w/ my lips poked out***

DC was on BET 106th & Park yesterday. They looked tore up. When they first came out years ago they looked much classier. Take a look at the "No,No,No" video. Their hair looked fairly nice, their clothes were on the sexy/provacative side, but still fairly classy. Now they are just starting to look trashy. On BET yesterday, they were all half-dressed. Quite frankly, they looked COLD. At one point, Beyonce looked like she was shivering. I'm thinking "get that girl a coat"! Kelly was sitting on the end of the couch - bare legs from the bottom of the bootie on down, bare midriff and all. But why were they all wearing COMBAT BOOTS? I'm sorry, but that's just not fashionable. Beyonce's weave looking nothing short of a horse's mane - stringy and rough.

If I ever had a chance to interview that whole entourage, I would like to ask the parents (Matthew and Tina) a couple of questions. As a parent myself, I just don't understand how they have quided them down this path. My understanding is that it's been 100% all about the business since they were very young. Starts to make you wonder about parents. Did they do it for the kids -to guide them along in the pursuit of the dream? Or, did they do it to make money for themselves. I'm wondering how everything gets divided up financially? (Matthew, Tina, Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle) If they're all living together in the same house, how is the house paid for? Since Kelly and Michelle aren't part of the family......?

I smell something stinky going on...

Don't forget about Solange (sp?), Beyonce's sister. According to the interview with Farrah Franklin in Sister2Sister magazine, a cut of each of DC's checks are going to her. For what? Beats me. Farrah said she was supposed to help out as far as business, but she said she never did anything. Also, Kelly, Michelle, and Beyonce live in a house together which is in Tina and Matthew's name.

Lord forbid if Michelle ever falls out w/ Beyonce or Kelly like Farrah did. Somebody would get the boot. Mom and Pop Knowles know exactly what they're doing.

She's a dancer for the group. On the MTV special she was the one with the long red braids. Beyonce hugged her at the end of the show.

That's correct. I think she's been a back up dancer for a little over a year now.

What the hell is that "happy face" $h*t. I hate that song. I like the emotions remake, but that's due to the fact that I liked it before they remade it. I find it ironic that in the "survivor" song they say "thought I wouldn't sell without you sold 9 million"....Um ur rah, helllllooooo, those two girls are still singing on that CD. How stupid was that comment. So with 9 million or 12 million sold ---they still get a part of that check and with less deductions, now that they are out of the group. They also have 2 grammies.

Now I liked the survivor song however, I hate survivor part II, the Brat could have done better. I was hoping that this album would be good, but it's not. Do I think it will sell? Of course it will. In fact it will definitely go platinum. Maybe even double platinum. That is purely on the strength of it being a DC album. Their name will carry them for a minute. Matthew wasn't no fool, puttin' that album out now while they are in their zenith.
Plainly stated "Survivor" is no "Writing on the Wall". Michelle will eventually leave the group, the chile does not look happy ----she always looks toward Beyonce before answering questions. What's that about?

I'm not a hating, just stating!!!
