The Glamorous Beyonce

Author: Kena Sen

Beyonce is well-known the world over for her touching voice, catching smile. In the most years, Beyonce has also carried her talent onto the big screen, starring in such films as Austin Powers: Gold member (2002), The Pink Panther (2006) and the critically acclaimed, award-season favorite Dream girls (2006). She has the physical and musical attributes that have already translated into a stellar career.

As the newest craze in music today, this statuesque and “bootylicious” R&B/Pop queen has captured the attention of men aged 11 to 111 with her exciting performances and sequence of nightclub hits. She has the physical and musical attributes that have already converted into a star career.

Beyonce inspiration has taken the world by storm and has certainly proven that everything she touches turns to gold. And while she has all the talent and beauty in the world, Beyonces big heart is what makes her the wonderful woman. Her most notable charitable efforts have included becoming a global ambassador for the 2005 World Children’s Day program, and forming the Survivor Foundation that same year for Hurricane Katrina victims in the Houston, Texas area.

Born on September 4, 1981, to a loving family in Houston, Texas, Beyonce Giselle Knowles showed capability for music before she could even talk. As a little girl, she would cover out everyone, including the singers, on Sundays at church. Every weekend, she tuned her voice by doing emotional hymns with the congregation and then moved on to opera classes, in which she was naturally trained.

A normal childhood was not in the books for Beyonce. At 8 years old, she met LaTavia Robertson while auditioning for a girl musical group and Matthew Knowles, Beyonce’s manager and father, later paired the two with LeToya Luckett. In 1992, Cousin Kelly Rowland joined the group, and they performed together on Star Search.

Shortly after the announcement of five Grammy nominations at the 2001 awards show and the excitement of the amazing record sales, LeToya and LaTavia left the group amid organization struggles. Legal problems ensued, but Destiny’s Child became whole again with the arrival of Michelle Williams, and, for a short stint only, backup singer Farrah Franklin. At the Grammys, DC took home two awards, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, both for “Say My Name.”

In 2003, Beyonce ventured onto the big screen again in the musical/comedy The Fighting Temptations alongside Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

Beyonce displayed a versatile style with this solo effort, creating the club hit “Baby Boy,” the pop success “Crazy in Love” and the soulful “The Closer I Get To You” with Luther Vandross. Like her work in Destiny’s Child, Beyonce wrote or cowrote many of the tracks and performed her heart out on award shows to get the word out to a huge audience. She has emerged as a diva, making the best videos, catchiest songs and creating the most headlines. At 2004’s Grammy ceremony, Beyonce took away five awards and was the biggest winner of the night. It was also during this time that Beyonce become involved with her “Crazy in Love” duet partner, Jay-Z.

In 2006, Beyonce hit the big screen again in The Pink Panther with comedic icon Steve Martin. The movie debuted at No. 1 on its opening weekend, and further solidified Beyonce as a double threat in the industry.
Beyonce’s second solo effort, B’Day, was released in September 2006 with much success, selling 3,116,000 copies worldwide. The singles “Deja Vu,” “Ring the Alarm” and “Irreplaceable” all hit No. 1 on the charts, and the album was nominated for an outstanding five Grammy Awards in 2007.

Beyonce was no stranger to award nominations in 2007, however, as her role in the musical Dream girls (2006) garnered the star her first official nomination as an actress by none other than the prestigious Golden Globes.

Before she reached the age of seven she was singing and showing signs of great talent. When she was seven, she was already attending dance school and was a soloist in the church choir.

By the time she reached her teen years, any spare time she could find was spent with her childhood pals, LaTayia Roberson, Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett, performing at local functions. The girls, then known as “Girl’s Tyme” tried their luck at Star Search but did not make the cut. Beyonce’s Dad gave up his good paying job in order to devote his time promoting the band. To this day Matthew Knowles manages his daughter’s career.

After trying a few different names, the girls settled on Destiny’s Child. The musical debut for the group was the song “Killing Time”, which appeared on the soundtrack for the “Men in Black” movie, released in 1997. A year later, they had number one single with the song, “No,No,No, Part 2.” The quartet became a trio later on that same year with the departure of LeToya and LaTayia, who decided to pursue individual careers. Destiny’s Child continued onwards and became one of the top R&B/Pop groups in 2000 accumulating four Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and numerous top ten hits, as well as two albums that went to number one.

The group’s second album continued with great success with tracks like “Say My Name,” “Jumpin’ Jumpin,’” and the very successful “Bug A Boo.” In the 2001, two Grammy awards were given to “Say My Name”.

The single from the album,”Crazy in Love” topped the charts and stayed there for over 8 weeks. Later that same year her album and the single topped the charts at the same time which put her on the same level as such musical wonders as The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Rod Stewart. She was and still is the only female artist to have accomplished this feat. This helped make Beyonce one of the biggest artists in both sales and popularity for 2003.

In 2004 she won five Grammy Awards. On the Destiny’s Child album released in 2005, Beyonce released a song called “Check on It,” which was used on the soundtrack of “The Pink Panther Movie,” released in 2006.

In correspondence with her 25th birthday, she released a second album called “B’day,” which sold more than her first solo album, with 541,000 copies sold in the first week after release. The lead single from the album, “Déjà Vu,” became a number one hit on the US R&B charts.

A great deal of physical affection, closeness and touching is crucial to Christina’s well-being, and she has a tendency to overindulge in sensual comforts and pleasures. At times Christina Aguilera substitutes food for emotional comfort and love.

Christina Aguilera seeks security and loyalty in love relationships, is extremely devoted to her loved ones and provides a warm, nurturing atmosphere for them. However, Aguilera tends to cling to others and prevent them from changing.

In love relationships, Christina Aguilera seeks companionship and friendship with someone who is fun loving, playful and open to adventure and new experiences. She enjoys traveling together, meeting new people and making new friends. Honeymooning in a distant location appeals to Christina, and she is also attracted to foreigners or people with diametrically different backgrounds than her own. Christina Aguilera supports her partner in taking risks and making positive changes, rather than preserving the status quo. She also very much wants a partner who will encourage her own aspirations and dreams. It is very important to Christina that she have a spiritual or intellectual rapport with her love partner, perhaps more important than the emotional/physical aspect.

Nelly Kim Furtado is a singer and songwriter, best known for her hit singles, I’m Like a Bird, Turn off the Light, Maneater, and Promiscuous. A first-generation Candadia of Azorean-Portuguese descent, Furtado is widely known for her unique sound and innovative experimentation with diverse instruments, languages, genres, and vocal styles.

Furtado’s talents showcased at a talent show in Toronto were impressive enough to compel Gerald Eaton (aka Jarvis Church) and Brian West of The Philosopher Kings to record material with her. The material recorded during these sessions would lead to Furtado’s record deal with DreamWorks Records in 1999 and was the foundation of her breakthrough debut album, Whoa, Nelly!, which was released in October 2000 to much acclaimed success.

The album garnered four Grammy nominations in 2002 and would award Furtado’s debut single, I’m Like a Bird, the Grammy award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Furtado was the top draw for the Burn in the Spotlight tour and also appeared on Moby’s Area:One tour.

On September 20, 2003, before the release of Folklore, Furtado’s sophomore album, Furtado gave birth to her first child, Nevis. In November 2003, Folklore was released with singles Forca, Try, and Powerless (Say What You Want).

The album did not achieve the commercial success of her debut album, perhaps due to its less poppy sound and lack of promotion, as DreamWorks was sold to Universal Music Group during the album’s release. In 2005, when DreamWorks Records was shut down, Furtado was acquired by Geffen Records. In 2006, Furtado released her third album, Loose, which contains hit singles, No Hay Igual, Promiscuous, and Maneater.

Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is an R&B singer from the Caribbean island of Barbados. Rihanna was first discovered in Barbados by music producer, Evan Rogers, who along with his partner Carl Sturken, assisted Rihanna in recording a demo to be sent to record labels like Def Jam.

Upon auditioning for CEO Jay-Z, Rihanna was signed right there on the spot. In August 2005, she released her debut album, Music of the Sun, which she co-wrote. The album peaked within the top ten in the U.S., Canada, and the top forty in the U.K., propelled by the hit single Pon de Replay, which climbed to #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. That year, Rihanna also toured with Gwen Stefani, which undoubtedly helped promote the album.

In April 2006, Rihanna released her sophomore album, A Girl Like Me, which would peak at #5 in the U.S. and #6 in the U.K. The lead single, SOS (Rescue Me), climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Pop 100, Hot Dance Music/Club Play, and became the biggest first week digital single ever, selling over 169,000 copies in its first week.

Her second single, Unfaithful, written by Ne-Yo, became her third top 10 hit in the U.S. Rihanna has several endorsement deals under her belt, including ones for Nike and J.C. Penney. She also had a cameo role in Bring It On 3.
