Did you know that Beyoncé was in another girl group before Destiny’s Child? Well, technically Destiny’s Child is the evolution of the original group named Girls Tyme, which Beyoncé and her father helped form in 1990, per Britannica. The OG Girls Tyme members – Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, La Tavia Roberson, Támar Davis, Nikki Taylor, and Nina Taylor — trained in singing, rapping, and dancing.
In 1992, the group decided to compete on the talent competition TV show, “Star Search,” which is famous for serving as a platform for young acts who later became celebrities, like Britney Spears. Beyoncé and crew performed their song, “Talking ‘Bout My Baby,” against their opponent, a band called Skeleton Crew. Sadly, Skeleton Crew beat Girls Tyme and their stint on “Star Search” was over.
In the documentary for Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album, the Grammy-winning singer opened up about how this failure deeply impacted her. “I was only 9 years old, so at that time, you don’t realize that you could actually work super hard and give everything you have, and lose!” she reminisced. “It was the best message for me.”
Beyoncé called the experience a “defining moment” in her upbringing, and even included the soundbite from Girls Tyme losing on “Star Search” in her 2013 song “***Flawless.”
