Destiny's Child was an R&B group that consisted of [[Beyonce (Music)|Beyoncé Knowles]], Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. It formed in 1997, first being a [[Four-Girl Ensemble]] with LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. The two were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin. Farrah left in 2000, leaving the girls to be a [[Power Trio]]. Their singing style took R&B to subgenres of urban, contemporary, and dance-pop. "Bootylicious", "Say My Name" and "Bills, Bills, Bills" are some of their most famous songs.
 
[[Beyonce (Music)|Beyoncé]] became an obvious [[Face of the Band]]. While she has moved on to become an internationally successful solo artist, the other two have had a somewhat hard time coming out of her shadow.

=== Tropes related to the group: ===
Line 16:
* [[Crunchtastic]]: "Bootylicious".
* [[Double Entendre]]: From their song, ''Soldier'': "Known to carry big things, [[Lampshaded Double Entendre|if you know what I mean.]]"
* [[Garfunkel]]: Any member of the group that wasn't [[Beyonce (Music)|Beyoncé]]. Somewhat averted on the first two albums with Kelly, however.
* [[Gasshole]]: Seriously? ''Kelly Rowland''. Her burps are huge.
* [[Girl Group]]
* [[Nonuniform Uniform]]: The girls were well-known for this look. They got into a pattern their clothes would look similar aesthetically, but Kelly would wear shorts, Michelle would wear pants, and Beyonce would wear a skirt or dress.

* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: While the group is best remembered now as "that thing that Beyoncé sprang from," don't forget that the World Music Awards said they were the most successful girl group EVER.
* [[Sampled Up]]: The guitar backing of Stevie Nicks's "Edge of Seventeen" taken for Bootylicious.
