MUSIC NEWS: DESTINY’S CHILD REUNION? / CIARA TAPS T-PAIN FOR NEW SINGLE / A HOST OF ARTISTS TEAM-UP FOR CHARITY SONG

dc3.jpg

Looks like there are some rumors of Destiny’s Child getting together for a reunion, even with Michelle’s album dropping in October, Beyonce’s album been released in November and Kelly releasing information about already recording and conceptualizing her third solo album. It was Kelly who dropped hints of the girls getting back together to perform and record a new album next year.

“We’re so looking forward to working with each again and we just need to find a time in our diaries when we can get into the studio together.”

I don’t know, I’m not ready for a Destiny’s Child reunion. If the girls all have albums coming out in the near future, it seems like they’ll be promoting it into the next year with new singles, etc. I would like for them to wait at least until 2010 to get back together and record an album. A performance at an award show would be nice, but I’m not ready for a new album.

CIARA TAPS T-PAIN FOR NEW SINGLE

After a lot of speculation about the new single, Ciara reveals exclusive to our friends Rap-Up.com that she will release the T-Pain assisted “Go Girl” for the first single from her upcoming third album, Fantasy Ride.

The new album has been said to be a concept album, where Ciara journeys through three different “cities.” Each “city” will have it’s own disk, where Ciara will experiment with different sounds, with 4 to 5 songs on each disk. “Groove City” will contain songs that feel like the first single from her last album, “Promise.” The next disks are “Crunktown” and “The Kingdom of Dance.” You can pretty much gather what those disks will feel like.

Ciara is working with Danjahandz, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Lil’ Jon, Polow Da Don and many others. I’m interested to see what this album sounds like, considering that I feel like The Evolution was a pretty strong effort for Ciara.

Fantasy Ride has been pushed back again, but is promised to be released to us in December. We’ll see, CiCi.

A HOST OF ARTISTS TEAM-UP FOR CHARITY SONG

Some of the worlds must accomplished and acclaimed female artists have joined together for the song “Just Stand Up,” a charity single in support of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), a new initiative to raise philanthropic dollars for accelerating ground-breaking cancer research.

The roster of ladies include Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood. The project was conceived by Antonio “L.A.” Reid of Island Def Jam Music Group and was produced by Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. This will be their first collaborative effort in two decades.

The all-star television performance premiere of the song will take place live on Friday, September 5th, when ABC, CBS, and NBC simultaneously devote one hour of commercial-free prime-time to this nationwide event. This will be the first simultaneous cross-network broadcast ever to raise funds for the fight against a disease.

    Ugh….it’s SO not time for a Destiny’s Child “reunion” yet!! I love them..but need more time to miss them.

  2. Phillyfashionista

    And what’s up with all the advertisment pop ups?? This is new, and very annoying. :-(

  3. I talk, You listen

    the girls are just more successful and valuable as a group. Beyonce was cool on her first outing but that second one just barely by the skin of its teeth missed the sophmore jinx…she better thank Neyo for saving that CD’s sales. I think they sense Bey’s popularity demissing so they are putting out hints of a reunion to she what the public will think, something like what they did when they were considering adding Solonge to the group. that idea went up in smoke. so will this one, we are not readt to hear from D.C.

  4. Shellboogie

    Destiny Child DO NOT need to make another record or album again !!!! EVER!!! They need to just sit down somewhere.

    As far as the calabo for the cancer research vocially Mariah is the strongest singer on the song everyone else need to back the hell up! Or go sit down some where with Beyonce and them !!!! End of story !!!!!

    I see Loreal was right, based on your picture. Beyonce has always portrayed herself as being as close to white as possible. Remember it is in the Destiny Child contract that she can only be the one with bloned hair. So, Loreal was only doing what they were told by Beyonce. You people kill me, you’ll believe the wrong shit.

  5. Blizzle

    Yall may not be ready for another Destiny’s Child record – BUT I AM, I Iove them and it’s so funny because I was listening to Destiny Fulfilled this morning on my way to work and was just thinking damn if they come back- its a wrap, Pussycat Dolls, Danity Kane who? But yall act like they coming out with a cd this year, its going to be some time before they drop a cd because they all have to drop their own individual cds. All I know is that Bee better do something quick becauase Little Miss Sunshine is coming for the a**, you know what scratch that SHE CAME

    Ciara ahhhh- I think 3 discs in one is stupid and a waste. With 4-5 on each she could put them all together on one disc and simply seperate the different “cities” with interludes and skits

    As for this cancer song with all these very talented woman (- Ciara) It should SELLLLLL OFFFFF!!!!!

  6. Sam

    Matthew said last year that they would be getting back together in ’09 so this is no surprise. Besides they make more money when they’re together, yes even Beyoncè. the album sales they have together is just huge none of their solo album sales match.

  7. CJ

    Destiny Child reunion looks more like a FRONT LACE Reunion

  8. I talk, You listen

    oh and Ciara is using T-pain, becuz she knows it will guarantee airplay for her song, everybody got T-pain on the song now, just like how lloyd put out the song feat lil Wayne after two failed first single attempts. it’s just business, that is why once someone is hot they will appear all over the place becuz the labels, magazine,blog/gossip sites and radio know that the public will want to buy, read, listen or watch whatever that artists is involved in.
    Plus Ciara last CD didn’t do well in the pop market (ist CDsold 3-4 mil second only sold 1+ million) like her label would have wanted so now they want to guarantee airplay, crossover appeal and sales don’t be surprised if you alot of techno on this project. Its business people, start looking beyond the music and think marketing, stagedegy and formula…and you will understand why you like what you like and buy what you buy….

  9. bman

    MY EARPLUGS ARE READY TO BE USED!!!

  10. .......

    Ah, the name should be changed to Beyonce Knowles with Destiny’s Child.
    After a while, people will get sick of Beyonce. It is like Beyonce overload.

  11. MAI03

    Wow, that song for Cancer is great.

    As far a Destiny’s Child–it will probally be quite a while before we hear something from them together.

  12. SALI

    I think somebody should start regulating Matthew Knowles. Either his money train has stopped or he is just OBSESSED with his own kids (wonder why????). This is why no one else at his label goes anywhere. Why is it when people call it quits, THEY ALWAYS COME BACK, only to be pushed out. They should at least learn from Jayz. He retired and now he’s scrammbling trying to get back on top.

  13. ******Dame(the real singer are back)

    ****what is with all the hate Rihanna, Neyo and etc people put out cds every damn
    *****year. Matthew hasn’t said nothing in the statement it is always Kelly I think
    *****she says things to keep her name in the press. I am not mad at Bee or Rihanna
    ******I say strike while your hot and popping.

  14. Nina

    I loved Destinys Child but I don’t think I want to see them reunite. I think Kelly and Michelle just need to find their element and some good music and they will be fine with their solo careers.

    I hope Ciara puts together a good album this go around, I only liked about three songs from The Evolution and that kind of makes me mad when I buy CD’s. You pay all that money and you can only listen to three songs. The concept for the new album is creative, but will it work?

    Jay-z will be pissed he wants babies’ plural yes

  18. fall back haters

    some of you are delusional idiots.

    beyonce is waaaaay more popular and successful as a solo artist. whoever said her popularity is declining and her bday sales were low is straight up hating. Bday was double platinum way before irreplacable even came out. She sold more in one week than some artists in one month.

    rihanna is barely over 1 million. even with 3 albums back to back and overexposure, even keyshia cole has sold more than her in the u.s and its only her 2nd album.

    why the hell would beyonce be worried about rihanna? rihanna is not even a 1/4 as successful as Beyonce. Beyonce is #4 on forbes right now and making millions even with no album out. She is the most talked about black woman in entertainment. rihanna has a loooooong way to go to even be half as rich and popular and successful as beyonce. get realistic rihanna stans.

    and some of you are dumb to believe every rumor you hear. jay and bey probably laugh at all the ‘baby drama’ rumors. you honestly think they havent discussed when they are going to have children? GTFOH. and jay dont want no damn big forehead rihanna. he married to the hottest chick in the game so kill that noise.

    and as for the loreal thing, whoever said she the only one who can have blonde hair in DC is a liar. beyonce cant help how light she is, and your dumb ass is the only one still stuck on that loreal thing. it only made beyonce more famous. besides i see black women light skin women witih blonde hair every day, so i guess they are all trying to be white too? GTFOH.

    basically keep these haters talking bey. you must be doing something right because i swear beyonce is the only one being discussed all day every day on all the blogs.

  19. yeah i said it

    rihanna is gonna get embarrassed being on the same stage as beyonce.

    keyshia is gonna get embarrassed being on the same stage as mary.

    leona might hold her own with mariah since mariah cant sing live.

    but all 3 are wannabes trying to be like ther idols but failing except leona.

    rihanna is fake with her wannabe white fake bad girl image with no talent.
    keyshia is fake with her diva attitude but the bitch aint even all that big of a name.
    leona copied mariah’s album cover to the fullest but at least she can sing.

    i cant wait to see this song performed live. haha

  20. LALA

    LOL I SEE QUEEN BEY IS STILL RUNNING SHIT AROUND HERE.
    I HAVEN’T BEEN ON HERE IN MONTHS AND SHE IS STILL THE MOST TALKED ABOUT AND SHE NOT EVEN DOING NOTHING RIGHT NOW.
    NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED.LOL
    IT’S OFFICIAL.
    BEYONCE IS GOING TO BE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS TO COME.
    CONGRATS BEYONCE.LOL

    P.S. LMAO AT THOSE WHO SAID BEYONCE IS OVEREXPOSED EVEN THOUGH SHE NOT EVEN EVERYWHERE PROMOTING NOTHING RIGHT NOW.

    IS IT THAT HARD TO NOT CLICK ON A BEYONCE POST? I THINK HATERS USE THAT ‘OVEREXPOSED’ CRAP AS AN EXCUSE. YOU COULD EASILY NOT READ OR LOOK AT ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES BEYONCE. YOU ARE THE ONES DOING THE OVEREXPOSING.

  21. …. kelly act like she got something on bey she is really determined to do this lolol……i will be surprised if it happens mabe a song but not a full cd lolol …………SIT YO ASS DOWN KELLY ITS OVER….. …………………………………… we are the world song will be nice

  22. Just-Wanted-2-Say...

    Can’t stand Bey as a solo artist (too much exposure) but I like Destiny’s Child. The last CD was the best. Ran it for a long time. Kelly’s CD was good too but it didn’t get the props it deserved (no surprise).

  23. Just-Wanted-2-Say...

    Can’t stand Bey as a solo artist (too much exposure) but I like DC. I ran the last CD for a long time (best CD they ever put out). Kelly’s CD was good too but she didn’t get the props she deserved (no surprise).

  24. iamwhatiam

    Kelly is so stupid. I can’t stand her dumba**. I’m sorry, I know that sounds mean, but she acts so dumb when it comes to her career. She can’t see that she will never be a star and she needs to stop kissing Beyonce’s a**! There will be no DC3 reunion anytime soon.

    Ciara needs to give it up as well. She’s very boring, has no image, or style. The only thing she can do is dance and I personally think that her dancemoves have gone down hill. It’s the same thing over and over again. No diversity.

    I can’t believe there are people like Ciara, Ashanti, and Rihanna singing in the same song as Mariah, Mary, Leona, Carrie, and Leona. That song is gonna sound a mess. I know it’s for cancer, but damn, they should’ve stuck with the great singers, not the popular or volunteering ones.

  25. JQ

    @ 78. I am a fan of beyoncè and I must say she does good solo (one of the best if not the best in the game) but not even her first album can compare in sales to what she does with destiny’s child. It is wat it is get over it.And she did sell two million way before she released irreplaceable but none of her singles did that great on radio so in a way irreplaceable did save BDay’s radio life.

  26. REP Da D

    **************i bet FERGIE can roll one hell of a blunt…lol Ciara is a straight up hood rat…smh…that charity single should be interesting….Miley?! ok wheres alicia keys? i just hope that when they make the single…MARIAH DOESN’T RUIN IT BY WHISPERIN..ON THE TRACK…

  27. DJ

    Other then this can someone tell me when Kelly has said there will be a reunion? Cause yall act like she is quotes in the blog every month talking about a reunion now if it was matthew I would understand cause he always talking mess about a reunion.

  28. Spare_Me

    Their moment has passed. I am SOOOO NOT interested in seeing a DC reunion. Ladies please bow out gracefully…. you’re on the verge of embarrassing yourselves further.

  29. I talk, You listen

    being shipped platnium and actually selling platinium is TWO different things people.
    Bey sold 2 millions based on anticipation alone…none of her singles before irreplacible even peeaked the public interest, I like Beyonce….it is not hate…it is fact.
    Destiny Child was a cash machine and merchandising bananza, a far as Beyonce sales and chart positions in comparision?

    RIAA.com and Billboard.com boo boo, and check it out and tell mama what u read…

  30. delusional hater

    #85 and #89 are the same person pretending to be Beyonce fans.
    Go kill yourselves.

    How the hell did ‘irreplacable’ save Bday when Bday went gold in one week and was over double platinum and winning awards way before Irreplacable. Get outta here.

    And Beyonce has only been a solo artist since 2003 and she is way more successful solo than in the group. Was Destiny’s Child ever in Forbes? Did Destiny’s Child win 7 grammy’s? No they won 3 and Bey won 7 by herself. Did Destiny’s Child sell 50 million dollars in tickets on a worldwide tour and put them in Forbes? No. Beyonce did that by herself.

    Both of Kelly and Michelle’s c.d’s flopped. Destiny’s Child was successful thanks to Beyonce, but anybody with common sense knows that Beyonce has sold more and is more successful solo.

    Was DC the first singers on the cover of SI? No it was Beyonce alone.
    Was DC the first international female artists to be honored for international excellence? No it was Beyonce alone.

    Bday put Beyonce in Forbes and made her have a very successful tour and be honored as a solo artist so anyone who thinks that album was a flop is truly delusional.

    Most of Beyonce’s success has been from 2003 to now.

    “men lie women lie numbers dont”.
    Trying to compare Beyonce’s DC success to her solo success is laughable.

  31. NIKKI

    O.K I AM A HUGE BEYONCE FAN AND SHE IS HANDS DOWN MORE SUCCESSFUL BY HERSELF. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT DESTINY CHILD UNTIL BEY WENT SOLO. SHE REALLY BLEW UP WITH CRAZY IN LOVE. DESTINY CHILD DOES NOTHING FOR HER IT JUST HOLDS HER BACK. BEY PLEASE STAY SOLO. YOU DONT NEED THOSE GIRLS THEY NEED YOU.

    CIARA IS WACK AND I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HER ALBUM.

    THAT CHARITY SONG SOUNDS LIKE A BAD IDEA. WHO WOULD PUT CIARA RIHANNA AND ASHANTI ON THE SAME SONG AS MARY MARIAH AND BEYONCE. WE’LL SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT.

  32. T

    Beyonce>>>>>DC.
    Like someone said, DC was successful but Bey really blew up when she went solo.
    And comparing DC album sales to Bey album sales is dumb in the first place.
    DC has had like 6 albums and Bey only has 2.

  33. Kid-K

    I love Beyonce too BUT DC did give her the Momentum to GO SOLO! BUT I WILL SAY that DC IS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF BEYONCE! It works BOTH WAYS!

  34. Kid-K

    I Love Beyonce but DC did give Beyonce the momentum to GO SOLO! BUT DC WAS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF BEYONCE! SEE, IT WORKS BOTH WAYS!

    She is my favorite. Just saw her personals ID on millionaires personals site “”"”"”"”"”"W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”"”" yesterday. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site. Is she single again?

  39. FallBackHaters

    I love DC3 so whenever they drop their album is OK with me. They ALWAYS said they were gonna get back together so it’s not pulling a Jay Z (#3).

    Anyways Kellyn is always saying they’re gonna get back together but no confirmation a part from her, though I did see some interview with Matthew saying they were in talks so who knows.

    Can’t wait for the cancer charity single, that’s gonna be a hot one. And you know Beyonce and Leona are gonna kill that track alive.

  40. HOTMOMMA001

    Whomever said that the title should be Beyonce Knowles with Destiny’s Child needs to go sit down in the corner and don’t say nothing else! ROFLMAO! So, so true! Hehehehehe That was priceless!

    Anyway, well, we’ll just have to wait and see if this all pans out about a DC reunion.

    Ciara is cool. Not a fan but she’s a great entertainer.

    Who is Leona Lewis?????? I know she looks like or resembles Mi-Mi. What is her genre?

    Anywho, yea, I can’t wait to hear this charity song! OMG! They put Ri-Ri, Keyshia, Ashanti along with Mary, Bey and Mariah. Man, this will be INTERESTING! ROFLMAO!

  41. I talk, You listen

    I know its the next day but i must respond.
    first i never said i was a Beyonce fan, i said i like her.
    of course a group won’t be in forbes mag or on the cover of SI…hello, next you’ll be saying that” they didn’t put Destiny Child in the fighting temptations and Dreamgirls…lol”
    some ventures only work solo…boo
    and like someone said destiny child enable ms. bey to be as successful as she has been.

    Bottom line is Crazy in love was way more successful chart wise and single wise….the second effrort the 10 song B-day, sold less than half that, so much so they had to release it with several more songs becuz people lost interest…in my eyes that popualarity deminishing, Next you’ll be saying Usher is hottest dude in the game…is he platinum yet…chick sit down somewhere, go watch your beyonce footage or something. you probably got her wallpapered on your wall…or something sound like a lunatic!

    and what was that bitch thinking putting out a cd with only 10 song!?! she think we that thirsty… gtfoh

  42. Anissa-Babii

    Why Couldn’t They Put My Chick Alicia Keys On That Charity Song?!? She Definitely doing Her Thing This Year

  43. iris

    Can’t wait to hear all those chicks trying to out sing one another lol

    DC should wait a little while before they come out with a new album

    TCiara “GO GIRL”??? I don’t know….there’s another singer by the name of Jimmie Reign that came out with a song GO GIRL like a year ago – http://www.datpiff.com/Ji...Girl-Mixtape-mid2689.html

    and Snoop did have a song with Tpain and Ciara called GO GIRL too!

  44. Yoshi

    She still would have went with High price! Beyonce Lace Front looks GOOD!
