Rumors Stir Again That A Destiny's Child Reunion Album Is On The Way, Label Denies It

Jun 22 | by Natasha

Word has it Beyonce's record label isn't feeling her new album to the point they want to throw an emergency Destiny's Child Reunion album in the works to balance how badly they believe she's going to flop. But what's her label really saying?

Deets inside....

The NY Post is reporting that Beyonce's label is so scared her new 4 album is going to bomb, that they are already scraping together a Destiny's Child album to keep Beyonce and her brand at the top. Supposedly, Columbia Records asked her to return to the studio to record new tracks to be added to the album before it's release, and she refused. So now they're supposedly looking to a comeback reunion album with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland to off-set what they believe will be a bomb.

"They're very nervous about Beyoncé's new record," an industry insider told us. "It doesn't have the hit songs that her fans are used to. They asked her to make changes, but she said no."

Bracing for the worst, Columbia suits are strategizing in case of slower sales and have had "quiet discussions" about the reunion of Destiny's Child.

"Beyoncé's career has stalled a bit," a source told us. "Columbia seems to think they can get some mileage out of a comeback record with all of the girls." Another source tells us Destiny's Child could start recording together as early as October, with a suggested album title "Family Reunion."

A Post source said, "[Kelly] has her own solo career now, why would she want to be singing back up for Beyoncé?"

And Columbia Records denies all this saying:

"All I know is that the record came in . . . Nothing was ever discussed to change it." Beyoncé's rep said, "All of this is completely untrue. All of it." Rowland's rep didn't get back to us.

Time will tell.....

Beyonce is set to appear on "Piers Morgan Tonight" in a one hour interview the day before her album release, June 27th, on CNN.

I like Kelly's work on her

I like Kelly's work on her latest cd as well as a couple others. Michelle has her own style as well. I have only purchased one Beyonce album in my life and I ended up giving it away because I didn't like it. I recently saw Bey's latest vid where she is super skinny dressed in a white lingerie body suit. I think she is a little jealous of Kelly right about now. That motivation is trying to give B some motivation as well but it aint working. Kelly killed it @ the BET awards...

If Destiny's child can

If Destiny's child can reunite than damnit so can IMMATURE, I want to hear NEVER LIE, CONSTANTLY, BROKEN HEART AND SWEETEST LOVE, those were some mature tracks unlike DC songs, after beyonce spit on the other girls and left R&B (left that good writings on the wall music) and went to that trendy pop, nothing she made is worth a reunion. Now if they sing SECOND NATURE, HEY LADIES, STAY, CONFESSION, SWEET 16, then they got a winning reunion. DC reuniting to sing those silly trendy booty pop songs would be embarrassing, Michelle has become a sophisticated Broadway women and Kelly on her grown women sh!t, Beyonce the only one still childish and booty popping to theme songs no one relates to, NO NEED TO BRING KELLY AND MICHELLE BACK INTO THAT KID WORLD BECAUSE BEYONCE FAILING, just a selfish "GIRL". And reuniting to make new music is Bull-S, because Michelle won't be allowed to do her thing and I like Michelle's music, "We break the dawn" is HOT and I like Kelly's house music style "Commander is my sh!t" Beyonce won't let these girls be true to their music style, and they are really too old and too different to be going back to group work or as Tamar says "doo-whoping for beyonce" THINK I WILL POST THIS OPINION ON 3 OTHER SITES. Good Day.

"Girls" is the worst song on

"Girls" is the worst song on the album, and the other singles are not as good as some of the other songs on the album. If it did flop (which I don't think it will) it would be because they're not good at choosing singles not because the album isn't good.

With or without DC, I won't be buying. I haven't really ever felt Beyonce like that. I prefer more subtle talents like Jill Scott or Laylah Hathaway.

I truly pray that Kelli does

I truly pray that Kelli does not fall for it, NOW they want to do a reunion becuase BeYANCe's career is stalled? Thats not fair to Kelli or the other girls. Thier career and life is doing just fine and I pray that Kelli and Michelle kinldy delcine. It time for BeYAWNCe to grow up and stop singing so damn hard, she is not a teen or 20 something pop start anymore. Niki, Rhianna and GaGa hold those titles and my money I paid for thier CD's. I wont be buying B's CD at all, the music sounds the same, its all over the place and she yells to damn much on those tracks.

I don't think it will flop at

I don't think it will flop at all, sorry. "4" is honestly a good album. Actually it's great. I'm surprised at the songs because "Girls" is extremely misleading to the songs on the album. I think she just wanted to get a hype song out so people would buy the album and think it would be like I am..Sasha Fierce. On the real tip though, Bey just be yourself. The album is grown and sexy, lyrics are RELATABLE and honest. I think she's scared people won't accept her changing and growing. Bey I have loved you since I was 9 (I'm 21 now) and I have always loved your music (not so much of "I Am" to be real), DC or not. I am putting this album on level with Dangerously In Love, except it's just more....grown. Not sure why I'm talking directly to Bey in this post LOL but ya'll understand lol...

I would hope that he wouldnt be doing quite that... BUT I know he is probably saying "where was the promo? & where are the hits" In the past beyonce would have dropped at least 3 vids right now and be EVERYWHERE pubbing this record. I love Bey but I must admit... I'm nervous for this album as well...

These are just rumors because

These are just rumors because so any haters are hoping she will flop. From wha I have heard thus far her album is tight. Just because she's giving us more soulful. feel good sexy music and not that ero pop shit, techno autotune sound the haters are i full force. Beyone vocals are raw on this album showing all her talents as a true artist. Haters stay mad and pressed because Bey will do any where from 750+ to 1 million even with the push leak that was hoping it will help her to fail/flop. Beyonce is a talented artist and has been one for 15 years, she not a gimmick artist like your fav. Hate is such a disease like cancer and as much hate this women receives jus think about it God has her back and she will indeed come out on top with much love. Let's go 6-28 "4" in stores.

Kelly has very long way to go to reach Bey' status and she is not young either as a maater of fact she is the same age as Beyonce.

lmao Beyonce has so many

lmao Beyonce has so many haters over the past 14 years I've seen her her fan base & her hate base grow more & more every year it's totally sad but hey I guess the bigger you get the more haters you'll get at the end of the day whether you like her or not you have to RESPECT that she is an ICON hands down who do you know right now in the game any black artist of this generation that has accomplished what she has ok I'll wait.....LMFAO NO ONE!! she is the best in the game hate her all you want but she has certainly made her mark in history even if this album doesn't out sell her previous work (which I know it will) IT WILL STILL SELL this woman has a global fan base at this point in the game she has nothing to prove to you haters or no one else she can now do what she wants to do because she has already taken the crown at this point there is nothing left for her to do but just put out music that she loves & her REAL FANS will love aswell, she has done it all I think what people tend to forget because she's only 29 but she is a VET in the game now, she can do whatever she wants to do because she's BEYONCE so like her or not she's is the QUEEN #DONE!

I'm not a big fan of the "new

I'm not a big fan of the "new Beyonce" I prefer the old Bey, with DC, or without. But I understand Bey is growing older and changing. My opinion is that she is trying to be like Lady Gaga. The album will sell, maybe not as well as her past albums but it will sell, just because she's "Queen B". Kelly, however, needs the reunion because she drops a hit, and disapears with the promise of a new album. Bey has changed with her new marriage. But a DC reunion would just flop.

The album will flop, and a DC

The album will flop, and a DC album will follow...anything to sustain Bey's career. I said it once and I'll say it again, Beyonce should have kept her father on as her manager. The man has excellent mgmt skills and is a genius in the music industry, he would have never allowed her to release this album- 4. It's not quality material. So, I bet there will be a DC album out by Christmas.

Definitely respect Beyonce

Definitely respect Beyonce for sticking to her guns and refusing to redo her album. She's an artist of a certain status who doesn't have to just do whatever her label tells her. Maybe she doesn't care if it flops? Maybe this is the music that makes her happy and is in her heart and she wants to stay true to it. That's way better than just trying to 'sell'. I don't like the singles so far so I probably won't be buying the whole album, the first time I won't own a Beyonce album, but mark my words she won't flop. She may sell less numbers than previously but she'll still be triple platinum in a couple months on her US sales alone. After all, "Who run this mutha?!"

This issue with prince had

This issue with prince had nothing to do with the label wanting him to do what they want; Prince felt that warner bros wasn't paying him the amount he felt he deserve & he wanted to own his publishing and masters. Prince composed, wrote,.& play several instruments, u can tell performers what to do not a musical master.

Because Beyonce is in control

Because Beyonce is in control of herself/career and she will sell, her label knows that. Beyonce is first a artist artist and even though some haters are saying they don't care for her album she have more positive reviews than negative. If all the negative people really took a clear listen to the songs that she released there's no reason not like the music. Beyonce took a page from the iconic greats to make a classic album herself. This album is very tight and on the iconic classic route. This album has that make you feel good, grown sexy groove and make a baby mood. Love everything I have heard so far and 6-28 aint here fast enough to purchase my copies.
