Bootylicious

This was a brilliant book to read, because I found out were destiny's child originated ,and how long it took them to get to number 1. I couldn't put it down after starting to read it...... very bootylicious, well done girls :D

A Sweet book

It's a sweet book that's inspirational. It helps you see what being a star is all about. It also gives you the ability to face your imperfections--hey, the three of them acknowledge that they are not perfect and they can live with it. So the teenage years may be weird and hard, but we can get through it. I thought I new everything about these girls, but they surprised me with a few of their revelations. And all the haters just need to go away, DC3 is here to stay.

Destiny's Child - Behind The Music

I am a Destiny's Child fan, so me not buying this book was never an option. I bought it the day it was released. Incidently, it was the same day group member Michelle's Gospel album was released. I loved the look at DC from their own perspective. I learned so much about the girls whose websites and message boards I am always contributing to. I loved reading about Michelle's highjinks as a child. Kelly's views on edited albums was surprising. I enjoyed the girls commentary on 9/11 and AAliyah. It was a wonderful look back on DC. The former member scandals was discussed and honestly, I don't know how much of it to beleive. There is TOO MUCH Kelly/Beyonce. They need to include Michelle more. Good book though. The pictures are fantastic.

What rolemodels

I loved the last album and was using the song "Survivor" as an inspiration every morning while overcoming a personal tragedy. I really wanted to know more about these young women. I am a bit older than the average fan but believe wisdom comes at any age and these girls are overflowing with it.I loved the personal stories as well as the inspirational advice each one gave.Bionce I just love. The girl has it down. She is confident and knows the importance of self-love and respect as well as compassion and credit to those who helped her. Her songs have helped me so much. As a true songwriter she knows the importance of taking what you have learned and the feelings you feel and putting that into music. What she didn't realize is how much it would help the rest of us.Kelly is adorable. SHe is so thankful and charming and you can tell her heart is in the right place. She is special and the Knowles family could see it. Her story is an amazing one.Michelle is such a lady. Buy her new CD it is wonderful. SHe has me hooked on reading the Bible which is something I never thought I would do. This group is complete with her.The Knowles family are not another Hollywood family. They watch over their girls, taught them well and it shows.I hope this book inspires others like it inspired me.

They are truly "Soul Survivors"

I am loving the Official Autobiography. The ladies have given us something that no other person can give us. They tell us the up and down sides of their life. How they grew up just like the normal human beings. Also Kelly Rowland tells us about the absent father in her life. I must say if you want the truth you need to get the book. I will not give away any secrets to the book. You just have to read it for yourself. I am so proud of the ladies and they are truly "Soul Survivors" in my opinion!God Bless Destiny's Child :)
