Becoming Beyoncé: The Untold Story

Product Information

Because of her shyness, and because her dad was an aggressive salesman type, her father soon became her chief enforcer, making decisions that Beyonce didn't need to be troubled with and decisions to best benefit Beyonce. It was detailed, it kept me interested, but it didn't provide much that I didn't already know as a longtime fan of the talented Beyonce. Everyone has celebrated how Beyoncé’s celebrity power has elevated Warsan Shire’s work to global attention. Even as the story moves into the big time—the Grammys, “Bootylicious,” meeting Jay Z— Becoming Beyoncé focuses on the infighting: original Destiny’s Child members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson (and their replacement, Farrah Franklin) breaking from the group, and later suing, alleging that they weren’t paid or prioritized the way Beyoncé was.

Above all, Ana's mission is to be a vehicle for diversity and representation in entertainment and children's media--to tell untold stories that reflect the beautiful world we all share. The first half is mired in trite, tedious accounts of Beyoncé’s pre–Destiny’s Child career, including her discovery at the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center in Houston at age 8 by her very first managers, local moms Denise Seals and Deborah Laday; squabbles among the Knowles family (mainly her Svengali father, Mathew) and the parents of the other members of her first tween girl group, Girls Tyme; and clashes with a third manager, Andretta Tillman, who, according to the book, helped fund Beyoncé’s very early career. But what was very interesting for me was just simply to read about a family ( The Knowles)that defined its family's success around the achievements of their Elder daughter. But I was still curious about the grenades it would hurtle into the Twitterverse, the furor it would spark among the Beyhive. So if you ever feel downer that you don't look as fly as Bey, just remember - she's paid (and pays) to look that fierce.Solange interfered on her sister’s behalf; Beyoncé was “mortified”; and mom Tina Knowles mandated a peacemaking dinner in New Orleans.

The most interesting and personal events of Beyoncé’s life can feel like afterthoughts: Near the end, on page 414, after a scan-worthy chapter about video budgets and other behind-the-scenes details on her album 4, Taraborrelli casually mentions that “by this time,” in November 2011, “Beyoncé and Jay were expecting their first child. Her parents noticed how much stage performance helped their shy oldest daughter and started putting her in pageants. However, when Queen B does do interviews, they really don't reveal a lot, as proven by her latest with Garage Magazine. But we needed more pics of the sexy momma to understand how this woman must be seen and received and how much Beyonce is like a living doll testament to her mother's style, determination, and gritty femininity. This book is not for fans looking to get an inside scoop on Beyonce’s life because it is written from an outside third-party source.She has used her branding, merchandising and sales expertise to manage a number of business ventures with well-known celebrities and athletes in the publishing, aviation, food, retail, and sports industries. As a child, she may have been shy in the classroom, but when Beyonce stepped out on stage she transformed into a powerful performer. It REALLY didn’t sit well with me how DC was handled to be a platform to push Beyoncé to the top, no matter who got kicked to the curb in the process.

When she is not tapping away at her tablet, she enjoys gaming with her husband, fantasy romance novels, tending to her plants, and ice in all of her drinks. With that being said, it is still very well organized and an entertaining read of how those around Beyoncé felt her life has gone. As the world's biggest star, Beyoncé continues to scale new heights and her latest album, Beyoncé, broke all records after hitting No. Although she's married to Jay-Z she outpunches him in the bestseller stakes, writing and producing many of her own songs, including smash hits 'Bootylicious' and 'Independent Women'. She Sings, Dances, and Acts at home rather than in movie/Film theatres in comparison to ten years ago when she was a sensation in people mind!Throughout her career, Beyoncé has always strived to portray the complexity, diversity and shared experiences of Black women living in America. Beyoncé: Running The World is the full story of Houston born-and-bred Beyoncé's extraordinary life, which saw her join her first pop group at the age of nine before fronting the girl band Destiny's Child - the biggest-selling female group of all time. These anecdotes were able to bring a certain closeness and intimacy to the book that would have been lost without them. She has used her branding, merchandising, and sales expertise to manage a number of business ventures with well-known celebrities and athletes in the publishing, aviation, food, retail, and sports industries. While celebrating Beyoncé's greatest triumphs Beyoncé: Running The World uncovers the truth behind the headlines, finding out exactly who 'Queen Bey' is and what really goes on behind the scenes.
