Composed of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, the women in "the child of destiny" are not only famous for their coordinated ensemble and effortless harmony, especially for their strong and independent images around the world. Their work reflects the aspirations of a generation and will continue to do so in the years to come. This is the story of the son of fate.

They call themselves "girls Tyme," promote themselves to spitters, not singers, and even go to star search. But record executives didn't buy it, so they left the whole rap game and started the R & B ensemble that we all know is the son of destiny. Their first album didn't perform as well as industry standards.

the son of destiny's hit film "tell me my name" may have won their first Grammy Award for the group, which is reasonable! This piece of music, which many people can agree with, happens to be very personal to Bailey, and touches on a rather painful topic. It is said that "say my name" is about linderlock, Belle's sweetheart. From their premature birth to their early 20s, bey and lyndall, like any father, Mathew Knowles is very strict with his daughter's dating. The two stayed together until Locke betrayed her.

Letoya herself even said that today, 20 years later, it still stings her. She has been fighting depression long after she left the team. Designers have never thought of designing styles for children of destiny. We bet that designers will blame themselves for this!

As the daughter of a seamstress, Tina designed many of the most fashionable looks of the sons of fate during the reign of the group. "High end brands don't want to dress four black curve girls, and we can't afford designer dresses and fashions. My mother was turned down in every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she uses her talent and creativity to give her children dreams, "share Beyonce.".

Williams describes her struggle with depression at the peak of her son's fame. In the early days of the group, Williams endured in silence, not fully aware of what had happened. She eventually began to feel guilty about her depression, because a successful person was often ridiculed as unsuccessful. She said she even started suicideAnd strive to be an advocate of artists who strive in silence. Alectra records has given up the children of destiny.

Brill / ulstanbild, before reaching an agreement with Columbia Records in 1996, through photos taken by Getty pictures, the fate of the child had briefly signed a contract with Elektra records.

In 1995, however, Elektra removed the group's claim that they were "too young and underdeveloped" from their roster. Bet they are kicking their own stupid mistakes! Kind of reminds you of the Beatles, huh? As the manager of the son of fate, Matthew Knowles knew the potential of this group very early. As a result, he hit the girls hard and made them superstars, which may or may not pay off. It is reported that he let Beyonce run a mile while singing. It is said that she still does this kind of sports today! Although his training may be beneficial to some people, they also pay a price. Latavia once recalled how Matthew made Kelly cry after a performance, and she shouted, "where are you tonight, Kelly? I watched you mess up 12 dance steps. "That's harsh!
