IMO, he's doing the minimum (just to say he's doing something) for the other two. If they like it, I love it. There is a difference in his technique where Michelle and Kelly are concerned.

I agree with AKA2D. I do not believe that the focus in on promoting Michelle or Kelly and that it was not on them even when their solo projects dropped. I do think they dropped Beyonce's last in order to give the appearance that it was not all about her but that was mostly a result of Latonya and Latavia suing them over this issue. When one person's entire family is running the business, there is no one in the world who could convince me that they are not going to favor the family member even if it is unintentionally. From the beginning the group was not balanced and Beyonce’ was the clear center. When Farrah left and put them on blast for all the ways they worked to
keep Beyonce the center, I am sure there was some truth to her allegations.
I see the manager's job to sort through the offers that are coming in but also to seek out opportunities if not enough offers are coming. I do not get the feeling that Kelly was promoted very effectively or enthusiastically. Her album came out at a time when she was hot and riding high on a number one collaboration with Nelly. It did not seem that even that fact was used to its maximum potential to me.
We have artist running around who are "on top" for
no other reason than superior management. They have truly made them stars and they are not coming from the best selling girl group of the time. I just do not feel like there is any reason why it could not have been so with Kelly and Michelle. I do think it would be DRAMA FO YO MAMA if either one were to want a different manager for their solo career.
I will wrap this all up by confessing that I am a DC fan and a Beyonce fan and I do think she is the most talented. I do not feel the fact that DC does not seem much like a group too often and more of Beyonce and her back up singers and I do not feel the way Michelle and Kelly practically genuflect when they talk about Beyonce in interviews.
