Re: Beyoncé

Yes.

I mean, she started recording Lemonade in 2014, in the middle of Self Titled era. It’s definitely possible

There was an era?

[Virgo]

Idk if y'all remember, but it already happened before the ST. A casting call for Mine, so I don't will doubt. Anyway, we know she already working on B7, maybe finished.

When it comes to Beyoncé no one dares open their mouth anymore. I love the secrecy, but I hate it at the same time.

Why it’s the right time for Beyoncé to reform Destiny’s Child
With two career best albums behind her - and a decade of Poor Michelle memes to overwrite - pop’s reigning queen should bring the band back together

With the confirmation of Beyoncé’s headline Coachella gig came a fresh wave of rumours that Destiny’s Child are on the cusp of re-formation. And not just the holy trinity of Bey, Kelly Rowland and Michelle “Not-the-one-from-Dawson’s-Creek” Williams: we’re talking original Writing’s on the Wall DC, with LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Robertson. The evidence? Beyoncé recently posed on Instagram wearing an AC/DC T-shirt but only the DC was visible! LaTavia tweeted she was working on a big, secret project! And Kelly posted a picture of the outfit she wore when Destiny’s Child v2 reunited at Beyoncé’s 2013 Superbowl performance! See? Rock solid evidence and definitely not fan hysteria.

Although at the peak of her solo powers, now would be the perfect time for Queen B to reunite the group. She’s coming off the back of two career-best albums (where do you go after Lemonade?) and seems weirdly reluctant to make that joint Jay-Z album he keeps mentioning, instead recording features with everyone from J Balvin to Ed Sheeran, but not her own husband.

Reuniting the band would also help overwrite a legacy caught up in the internet’s joke cycle. Who could forget the Poor Michelle meme of 2013, highlighting how Williams always got the short end of the stick when it came to the band’s Tina Knowles-created ropey outfits? Or that video of Beyoncé and Kelly watching as Poor Michelle stacks it on stage? Or the footage of Beyoncé looking aghast as Kelly describes herself as “second lead vocalist”? Or that meme of Beyoncé, pregnant with twins, that carried the caption “not the first time she’s carried two people?” A huge comeback could put all that in distant memory.

When the band last reunited in 2013 for the Superbowl half-time show, it was a clever way to distract from the fact Beyoncé had no new music to perform. It sparked rumours of a full reunion, ones mainly kept alive by Bey’s father and former manager Matthew Knowles, who in 2015 said he was “extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour”. This was before that year’s self-titled, surprise-drop classic and 2016’s career-defining Lemonade. Back then a full reunion might have seemed desperate. Now it would make career sense.

So it’s decided, then: Destiny’s Child have to be the surprise guests during Beyoncé’s Coachella slot in April. They could bring on former Corrie star Matthew Marsden (who, in 1998, generously let the group provide backing vocals on his single She’s Gone) and undo 10 years of Solange’s attempts to escape her older sister’s shadow by reminding everyone about the time she was the group’s backup dancer. Miss Tina, get your sewing machine out. You’ve got work to do.

What do you think?

Re: Beyoncé

The world is ready for DC again. There’s no good girl band on the world stage, and frankly, they have at least one more album in them - I always felt they ended too soon. Beyonce is in a position to pause her solo career without damage and it might help the other 2 out a bit with their own.

And you know... it would be amazing to hear Beyonce singing fun songs again. ST and Lemonade largely lacked the fun factor, and there wasn’t much of it on 4 either...

[IVyoncé]

I wouldn't mind a DC reunion, it might be the last time it would feel appropriate, how shallow as it sounds they all still look smoking and also all grown as persons and artists. And it also would be HEAVEN again to hear some Destiny Fulfilled material live again.

Re: Beyoncé

No, just no. An appearance on stage for 5 minutes, yes. An album and a tour? WTF. Does not make any sense.

[Preyoncé]

Re: Beyoncé

I don’t want a half assed reunion. If they do it, I want a full on album release, videos, singles, promo, tour.
I want a Destinys Fulfilled type era.

I'd take DC reunion over new Bey album TBH.

If this isn't an unpopular opinion, I don't know what is.

I think nostalgia is overrated and that's the only justification I see for this to happen tbh.

Michelle got her own things going on, they have moved on.

There’s a difference in moving on because you want to and because you have to

Do you really want a DC's reunion? Omg. I love the girls togheter but it's gone. Just good memories. I respect Kelly and Michelle but for Beyonce this is a step backward. But would be great some random performance like Say Yes.

I wouldn’t see it as a step back. It certainly wasn’t a step backwards when they did DF. There is a market for them - where are the girl groups? Where are the group of ladies doing R&B together?

Making an album that explores the concept of being independent women in 2018/19/20 would be absolutely relevant. It’s everything DC was about, and coming together older, wiser, mothers, wives, and more fierce than ever would be absolutely phenomenal.

On a Beyonce level, I think her solo music has evolved so far from what DC were that it could be a very welcome change of pace and her newer fans could benefit from experiencing where Beyonce actually comes from.

Re: Beyoncé

DC for what? Beyoncé's the only relevant one and any success wouldn't even be attributed to her by some, like the rest.

[UndercovaSista]

An album with Solange would be perfect

Wasn’t their successs always attributed to Beyonce?

I know some people think DC Beyoncé is some kind of alternate being, as if those records and sales aren't Beyoncé's too.

Well they are Beyoncé’s sales and stats, but I do understand why people don’t include them in career summary of solo stars - the stars themselves generally tend to discourage this afterall. Granted Beyonce hasn’t and credit to her.
