If you think that touches DC's National Anthem than baby you need to go get your hearing checked… They didn't sing lead for a reason stink

 

Like baby it's truly unfair DC4 to compare them to DC3 vocals

The fact that you believe a 3 part harmony is outdoing a 4 part harmony says more about you than me puddin pop. If you didn't catch the exceptional talent in the video from all 4 members, then I can't help you.

Not just me but Beyoncé agrees too

... LeToya is the only artist in the group not named Beyoncé with a #1 album/platinum album.  The only other member to get into that Houston magnet performing arts high-school.  The only other one not named Michelle Williams who sounds good live solo at least 80%. 

 

I've seen too many pitchy Kelly videos.

 

Put all 5 together for a few weeks, and I believe LaTavia's "T-Boz harmony" will click almost instantly in the presence of her sisters after mentally working through things for the past few years, and LeToya's high soprano never left.

 

Call me crazy, but I see it.

 

 

 

The high parts in the outro sound beautiful.

 

 

I want a DC5 reunion as much as the next person, but I don't think sales or platinum plaques qualify the ousted members (who I love) as being deserving of a spot next to the other three.

 

We can get into the minutiae of the strengths and weaknesses of DC3 members solo, but the reality is that the literal format of the group changed when it became a trio.

 

They upped the ante on every level. Vocals, choreo, sass, style, poise, presentation...everything. As a result, there is a different kind of muscle memory that clicks into place when they perform (see: Homecoming, Super Bowl). I don't think it's "as" easy as just plugging LeToya and LaTavia into the mix (even with rehearsal), as it's just a different skill level the DC3 ladies bring. Specifically as a collective. 

 

IMO, the most/best we will ever get is either an "appearance" together (something like Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) or some other Lifetime Achievement honor. Bey is generally going to clean that path TF up when she's ready to really lean into her legacy bag and I see DC forming part of that plan). OR literally a harmonized "Say My Name" (the whole "say my name, say my, say my name...boy sayyy my naaaaame" part) somewhere. Again, probably as part of some honor DC as a group is receiving. 

 

Stranger things have happened, so wouldn't rule out something for DC5. I just think anything substantial is unlikely. 

i'm sorry but i can hardly imagine something i would want less from her than anything DC related (other than maybe a cute one off performance)

 

no shade but she's just too above the girls it's kinda laughable 

we're over here arguing about destiny's child and the 2013 halftime show… oh we're down BAD bad 

 

I can hear in her voice sis was going through something

You were ready

Starting our lives
Now my love, I'm ready to show

 

 Just one performance Candle Lady, just one.

I want her to get into the Rock & Roll HOF TWICE. (Like her idols Tina and MJ) Simple as that. Using their 1997 major-label start date would mean the group is eligible next year, and I want all 5 main members to be inducted. Each of the main two iterations won Grammys, had #1 songs, and has an album north of 5x Platinum.

If their performance as a quintet happens on that stage, so be it. It doesn't have to be a SuperBowl.

 

(I also want DC5 to be an inaugural group to reopen the Vocal Group Hall of Fame... but that one will take some work as the governing body closed in 2008. Does Mathew Knowles want a new position?  )

SWV, En Vogue, The Carpenters, Chicago, LaBelle, The Clark Sisters, Boyz II Men, New Edition, DC5, After 7, Take 6, The Winans Family, The Drinkard Singers, The Gospelaires (Whitney's mom / Dionne Warwick's old group), The Backstreet Boys / NSYNC, and the Sugababes should be the first inducted groups of the new set.

If DC gets in R&R Hall of Fame it will be Bey, Kelly & Michelle, who the world know and love

I think Bey & DC will get inducted at the same time

This is the problem with DC fans, y'all think she above everything, performances, tv shows, awards,  etc.  I would take a DC tour over OTR3 or anything Jay related.

* DC fans or Bey-only fans?

 

One of the "problems" with Bey being so cross-generational is that people jumped aboard her stan train at such varying times that there is now a wide range of hot takes about what's her best record and the wants for the future. It's a great "problem" to have, but I digress. 

 

A DC something is one of her biggest non-solo cards to play ever and always. The public would eat it up way more than anything further with Jay. It literally always generates huge buzz. E.g. it's absolutely what everyone wanted after Homecoming rather than OTRII.

 

And strategically, in general, Bey ought to do things to let the "Beyonce" brand breathe between albums. DC, especially as a tour, ticks that box. 

When was the last time you streamed Be Alive? Black Parade? I'm tryna see something

Never 

 

i still stream black parade, be alive however……… 

Definitely should've been a DC3 tour by now. A DC album, with a definite sound showing the artistic growth or each woman, yet still meshing together, would be undoubtedly better.

uhm i of all people certainly do NOT think that

 

and i would gladly take neither of those two horrible ideas over anything solo beyoncé. her eras are boring and uneventful enough now without tagging along her geriatric husband and jobless friends

As someone who feels that Destiny's Fulfilled is perfect as an album, era, and concept, I don't know if I want new music to potentially mess up what was a perfect swansong.

 

I, for instance, did not like Nuclear, was ok with You Changed, and loved Say Yes (in context), so I'm torn over new music.

 

A tour, though, would be perfect. Like The Spice Girls, they literally do not need new music for a limited engagement stadium run. "Destiny's Child. Worldwide. 10 Nights Only". An obvious yet fitting title like DC Forever would encapsulate the concept perfectly. 

 

A limited run also gives the "Beyonce"  brand a breather and actually helps heighten demand for her solo "return". 

 

I would love to see them do it sooner rather than later, because as much as they slay, you can't cheat Mother Nature. And with the expectations of what a DC tour would need to give (choreo, looks, and even some of the material), it would be better suited to now in their early to mid-40s than when they are 60 lol.

No to a DC tour or OTR3… just Beyoncé
