T-Boz sat down with Blackvoices.com and let it ride about girl groups in general. I can dig her perspective because she was actual in one and she's speaking from experience. She kept it 100 and told how she REALLY felt. Especially on the Kelly and Matthew Knowles foolishness. Read below for what she had to say.
When you hear stories about what's going on with Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland having to fire Matthew Knowles to finally get attention, what are your thoughts?
They get mad when I say this, but I don't give a damn. It was all about Beyonce anyway. She was my favorite, too, but come on. Her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? It's always Beyonce. It was supposed to be exactly the way it is now, Bey is on top. I love Beyonce, and I am a fan of hers. She was my favorite in the group even before they were Destiny's Child and they were the Baby Dolls. She was so cute and pretty. I like all of them, and I wish Kelly the best. When you're in a girl group, you have differences, and you have to learn how to respectfully agree to disagree. There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that people don't know about. Some girl groups have girls trying to steal other girls' boyfriends and that's the ultimate no-no. You have situations like the Kelly thing and Beyonce's parents. You can say that I'm out for everybody, but if Lisa was to bring somebody in that's her boyfriend, then I'm gonna feel like you got Lisa's back more than mine, and that's gonna be a no-no. I just think that brings a conflict of interest in the beginning. That would have been a hard group for me to be in, because I would have been like your mommy and daddy are running things and they're gonna have you at heart the most. That's just how I feel.

And there it is. T-Boz spoke the truth. The Knowles may not have purposely been trying to play the girls, but they did. As a parent your children will always be your priority. The other girls parents were slipping and tripping letting Matthew oversee their children's careers like that anyway. They needed a NEUTRAL person to be the manager.
Regardless, Beyonce was going to be a star. She always had that "it" quality about herself. However, it didn't have to come at the other girls expense. They grew up together and were like sisters. Whether it was by family blood, or the blood, sweat, tears, and CHILDHOOD they put into that group, Matthew should have looked out for the rest of them like he did his own child.
IMO, Writings On The Wall is their best cd to date. I missed Latoya and Latavia when they got booted out the group. They added flavor Michelle just couldn't bring. Poor Kelly held on only to get treated years down the line. SMH
And I PROMISE YOU Solange will have something to say to T-Boz by weeks end.

So true. I blame the other girls' parents more than I blame the Knowles.
The thing is - There is something about Beyonce I want to dislike! LOL... But she is talented & has a quality about her that makes her stand out.
OMG...I feel EXACTLY the same way Free. I try so hard to dislike that woman but I have to give her props because she is talented. EXTRA, but talented nonetheless.
