WITH THEthree mem-bers ofDestiny’sChild (DC)

having forged solo pathsseveral years ago, you’dthink, by now, that peoplewould have realized that,Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelleare three very different indi-viduals. And as a result,their individual pursuits

have all been very different. But while Beyoncé’s suc-

cess was always inevitable(her father was the group’smanager and she was alwaysdeemed as DC’s unofficialleader), and nobody reallyexpected Michelle to be amainstream star (she just did-n’t get to sing much in DC didshe?), shouldn’t Kelly’s levelof stardom be a little greater?

Her sophomore album Ms

Kelly is soon to be re-released(a sign that it didn’t sell sowell the first time around),and the new single, Work –which was due for release lastyear – was delayed, thenremixed and is finally gettingreleased next week. Surely aformer member of such asuper-group shouldn’t strug-gle to sell units?

“As solo artists, we are threedifferent people,” Kelly insists.

“People can’t expect us all totake the same route as soloartists or enjoy the same kindof success. Victoria [Beckham]has a different route to Mel B,Mel B has a different route toGeri, and so on. We all havedifferent paths, coz we’re alldifferent people. I’m more ofan intimate person anyway; Ilike playing smaller and moreintimate venues. People can’texpect me to be Beyoncé or

Beyoncé to be me or me to beMichelle or whatever! Justallow us to be ourselves!”

TRUTHAnd of Beyoncé, what does

Kelly make of those whodoubt the pair’s friendship?Just last year, a story poppedup claiming that Beyoncé‘stole’ the June front cover ofVibe magazine, which Kellywas scheduled to appear on.

And in a spoof video of DC’ssong Emotions that appearedon YouTube last year, theactresses playing Michelleand Kelly were made to lookinsignificant, while theBeyoncé actress sang, “who’dlook at the other two, whenyou’ve got Beyoncé?” Can webelieve that Kelly and B arereally true friends?
