Say My Name With Letoya & Latavia

[msknighttime]

Matthew is a dirty dog thats why Bey finally fired him. Having a baby with another woman

[anjelheaven]

LaTavia's so pretty; love her outfit here!

[jamcakes100]

I'm glad Letoya left cause if she didn't we wouldn't of heard how amazing she is solo. Everything happens for a reason you can fight it there's no use complaining you just do you and work hard to achieve, and that's what Letoya did.

[Tyrese199]

i swear letotya and latavia left in 2000 and there here ?

[ktrb90]

One word timeless.I love the orignal group as well as the new DC.Check out group 7/27 on ktrb90

[Cmar102]

I never seen Latavia & Letoya sing Say My Name with Kelly & B who I met in Tampa 8/18/2001 just 1 week before Aaliyah died.But I know that Michelle I met her in Tampa too & Farrah singing this song with K & B. & What show on MTV was this ?

[IheartKingB]

bey&kelly <3

[BritneyGodesssssssss]

LOL BEYONCE is the only live the rest are lip synching

[BritneyGodesssssssss]

@wr513 lmao you're stupid she's the inly one live

[teeka153]

Destinys child was orginally kelly and beyonce with back up singers! Thats the way the group was formed. SO i dont understand why people are mad beyonce is always in the lead. She is the LEAD member gessh!.

[LaylaElExpose]

@teeka153 yea but if uwant to see the group rise more and more you have to all the members who helped it get where it was at they used michelle in songs how come they didnt let latoya or latavia or farah sing its just wasnt right nd i bet you michelle wasnt having that.

[babyboi1002]

@teeka153 No it wasnt

[NatesDocumentary]

@teeka153 That's not true, Beyonce and Latavia were the original 2 lead singers which is y theres a video with only them singing when they were 9-years old, then there was 6 of them as Girls Tyme in which Beyonce sang lead and Latavia rapped and also sang lead.

if Destiny's child is Beyonce and Kelly with 'back-up singers', den why was Kelly's mic off? Kelly ain't fooling anyone with that mime @ 3:00

[AaliyahAngelsLegacy2]

Sometimes I always question this group wen it was four of them back then because you couldnt really hear LeToya and LaTavia and they didnt get that much camera time or any vocal time on their first two albums but Im glad it changed on the 3rd album even though LeToya and LaTavia wasnt present on the 3rd and fourth one :[

[traboe]

i think all that stuff that went down with destiny child really put a bad taste in my mouth as far as beyonce is concerned...that and me only hearing her in the chorus of alot of the songs...CAN I HEAR THE HARMNONIES PLEASE!!!!! Lol..oh yeah not to mention im not blown away by her vocals either

[magicm0uth]

THIS IS NOT LIVE!!!!!! BEYONCE MAY BE LIVE BUT THE REST OF THEM ARE LIP SYNCHING!!

[BlaZeRT93]

@magicm0uth ah Durr That Happened Nearli All There Early Performances

[Eyebrows04]

Imagine that!!! They actually performed this song Live before the video came out.

[jamstrings100]

Destiny's Child were SO manufactured. All it was back then was Beyonce singing with three other girls dancing in the background. What a joke. Beyonce wouldn't even let the other girls sing live, what a bitch. It embarrassing I even liked them. Bey should have let the other members sing live and EQUAL SOLO PARTS.

[BlaZeRT93]

@jamstrings100  Ah Iht Was Her Father?????????

[SuperBlackChic]

I wonder if Matthew told the camera guy to focus only on Beyonce and Kelly, and that LeToya wore a huge hat!!!!

[Flaminghot1000]

@SuperBlackChic lol , seems that way ; doesnt it ?

[arayalrio]

@SuperBlackChic Yeah, I noticed that hat right away. Way to admit Letoya's hotter than your daughter, Mathew.

[PhantomLyric]

@SuperBlackChic She has always he lead singer. The other girls never had a problem with her being at the forefront because that was her roll. They weren't like TLC. (Who was good for sharing the spot light)

[Thakidd803]

This had to be right before they broke up...I think if they didn't Toya and Tavia would have had more songs but everybody had a role...Toya was saprano,Tavia was base,Kelly and Beyonce was lead...they all knew they roles tho.

[bchapma5]

@Thakidd803 Tavia is not a base she is a true alto.

[ciScothetink]

beyonce is annoying nd juss ugggh!this was a great group why did her nd her dad have to ruin it!!

[xWithEyesLikeSunsets]

I feel so bad for Kelly, Letoya and Latavia here, they are all lipsyncing while Beyonce is in front, the only one singing live. They look like her back-up dancers. It's kind of sad. And none of them look happy, there must have been some tension between them. This had to be right before Latavia and Letoya were dropped.

[sexyniggga99]

they were lip singing



[bevandyke]

@sexyniggga99: I noticed that. I can hear Beyonce's voice in the chorus. If this was actually "Live", we would just hear Kelly, Latavia, and Letoya. The only person live is, as usual, Beyonce.

[Qluvz2beluved]

Saw this a while ago but never commented, I don't think. Anyway, it was nice to see that Tavia and Toya actually got a chance to perform this song; yea, I miss DC4 like many TRUE Destiny's Child fans. I'm not gonna get off into all the drama, but Retro7001 is right, mostly. She was only decent back then, but she is better now that she's older....EVERYONE who sings should know & understand how the voice matures the older you get.

[Retro7001]

OMG. Beyonce really wasnt a good singer back then. She's trying way too damn hard. She is a little better now.

[pascalaka]

@Retro7001 what are you a singing expert or something? Where I come from, if you say that something is bad, you better be ready to prove that you can do better. If you can't, then your shouldn't be talking, and appreciate. Everybody wants to be the boss critic, but how many people actually walk the walk? lol

[pascalaka]

@johnathandoe I heard, male and female vocals are nothing to compare but your voice is okay. But her voice that you claim is "not good" took her to forbes, billboard, grammys, and the white house. Know what I mean?

[pascalaka]

@johnathandoe well good for you...I guess. If I were you, I would work on my modesty and try and beat her accomplishments with my talent, instead of just trolling on youtube, I'm just saying.

[notabyrd07]

yes throwback

[malone22]

Omg, this is a little bite true by the same time ( even beyonce never recognize that ), Listen : I'm a big fan of destiny's child since 90's, and like the other fans I always been ongry about Beyonce cause we loved all the destiny's child and not just 1 .., and when we was waiting some interview of the group on Tv, we wanted to hear all of them, but Beyonce was always talking a little bit more than the other girls... so I use to hate Beyonce and the way she was doing the"white girl"...

[freakybwoy]

say my name say my say my say my name , i miss wen artists used to switch up there adlibs,but they looked so moody in this performance

[alande4ever]

este video no me gust anada... de plano paresen simples coristas las otras chikas u_u

[brocka2002]

kelly roll her eyes.. fo'real lol

[RideTheMaverickTV]

Why are they lip-synching?

[DiscoWilliams817]

@RideTheMaverickTV i always wondered that everytime i see this..The harmony line is perfect..so why the hell are they lip syncing it?

[cucuachoo]

um.. bey fan and all but she sounds like a dying dog at the end......

[DAONLYKB]

@cucuachoo ook ..im glad she learned to controll her vocals!!!

[jlenoconel]

Beyonce is a turd.

[Karj1991]

Beyonce actually made this performance annoying. It's just to much.

[DonovanHillery]

@Karj1991 LOL I agree. I mean all the screaming and the "oooh" "yaay yaay" was just a bit too much... it was really unnecessary and ruined the performance.

[Karj1991]

@DonovanHillery I dont know what she was thinking here, we all know she can sing but its like she is trying to prove herself.

[MyaFan443]

Wow...this is RARE

[geordiexchucks]

Too bad LeToya and Latavia got dropped right before this song which was DC's biggest hit to date was released.. The video woulda been more hotter if they were still in the group and i woulda loved to see them do that part where they put their hands on their hips and sway around during the "yay-yay" part..

[smck2009]

Wish Latavia and Letoya had been in the official music video for this song so bad

[wonderboy4sho]

O wow they were so young lol

[pcddanitykane]

i'm kinda happy Latavia and LeToya left Then we wouldnt've gotten to meet Michelle Williams who is the better singer bTW

[pcddanitykane]

@babybluemusic426 un yes she is michelle can sing way better than letoya and latavia but they can still sing

[pcddanitykane]

@babybluemusic426

okay your opinion not mines but obviously there both doing something right if their talent is debatable but there is no shade comming from this way i love letoya and latavia if dc6 could happen i would die of excitement only if its Beyonce,Michelle,Kelly,LeToya,­LaTavia &/or Solange fuck farrah

[BlueRissy05]

Why does LeToya Always have something covering her face in these old videos?

[ALGWAD971]

LT is very aware of her front head. I would never hide mine TBH, that's who I am. RIhanna and Tyra never hide theirs.

[AJRome7]

they didnt want anyone to notice she the prettiest one ...

[lordchris202]

na , they vid with farrah f. and michelle was better then this lawl

[chelita90]

im sorry but beyonce here sounds very annoying!

[lodiedodiee]

I think its sad how beyonce basically droped EVERYONE now its just her standing, these girls didnt even finish middle school to sacrifice for this group then they all get dropped smh but everyone has there day

[love83forever]

Beyonce was the bomb at this point!!!!

I liked her here.....

[javonmod]

this song was like beyonce song with back up singers it wasn't like a girl group it was like a lead singer and back up

[Woodsworld85]

This could have been released as a live video! EXCELLENT!

[mochamist21]

@Woodsworld85 They probably should have cause the promotional video ruined it for me. It that was the case they should've just recorded a new version with Farrah and Michelle's vocals.

[babybluemusic426]

@mochamist21 I agree, it wouldn't have made it so bad but then again i heard they didn't have time really

[gottajacket]

I don't like the way LeToya and LaTavia were dropped from the group. No matter what they did they put a lifetime of work into the group. It was wrong of Matthew to drop them like he did.

.

[Ifwewerethemovie]

He didn't drop them they couldn't do the video because they didn't know the moves and they got replaced for one video and they got mad and QUIT

[gottajacket]

.

Ifwewerethemovie

They never quit, are you saying this as a joke because it's widely known that the LeToya and LaTavia were shocked when they realized they were dropped....

.

[333ld0]

yeah good

[mell9988]

@gottajacket me 2 i luv the original destiny's child

[ninetiesbaby10]

Im so glad Beyonce singing style has matured and grown from this era....as big of a DC fan as I was(and will always be) her voice was downright weak then compared to what it is now

[lloydsbaybe21]

wow!!!! i remember watchin them and jus wishin i culd be like them!lol beyonce grew alot as an artist she waz just a baby then.lol

[wildcat77]

Wow...Beyonce' has grown in so many ways...She's no longer reserved and she let's all of her talent out now.

[imdabest4real]

she is over doing the adlibs she is stealing the spot light I woulda been pissed and if I were thinking bout leaving the group if they was I would randomly start backing her up just to piss Mathew the hell off lol and purposely over power voice

[LeToyaBxl]

i never see this video^^ wit Toya & Tav^^!! OMG

[1606Dominic]

Kelly was the smartest one out of all the Destiny's Child members that have come and gone.

[babyboi1002]

SHE WAS THE DUMBEST!!!! Who was a career NOW, her or LeToya?

[1606Dominic]

Kelly is the smartest because she stayed long enough to become one of the two founding and origional members that are apart of the best selling female group of all time. Toya, Tavia, Farrah dont have that title. She has a great career in Europe right now she has a top 10 hit in Holland right now, and her soon to be club takeouver hit When Love Takes Over is moving up the charts. She has a show on Bravo premiering in a couple days. And Latoya has what........one single out right now.

[babyboi1002]

Well...first off...DC is not the biggest selling female group of all time(CHECK THE REAL FACTS)...second....even if they were,as long as LnL and Farrah are considered ex DC members they too have the title......Having a career in Holland means nothing in the states....until she has a decent hit in the states(of HER OWN),then we can say she has a career in music. Until then....NO

[1606Dominic]

OK best selling or not she still smart... THE UNITED STATES doesnt mean anything..... she making her money where it matter the most.... she already a millionaire....... she is very smart, why not make the pound over the dollar, the pound is a higher currency. Then why not go where ur music is respected and u r appreciated for ur talent and not put off for non singing "entertainers". She doin what she love and making millions so hay... it does mean alot in the states, when u count ur money

[babyboi1002]

If that statement was true...Kelis and Christina Milian would still have record deals.

[1606Dominic]

This is just a discussion nothing harsh OK.... But what do you mean by Kelis and Christina Milian, from research CM is signed to Myspace/Interscope Records ad Kelis is still under Sony/Jive....soooo enlighten me. Certain people just dont appeal to the US why not go to the UK where Kelis, Kelly, Pink, Joss Stone etc do very well. Because truthfully UK music continues to evolve and US music is on a downward slope, the music is not as good as it was in the 90 and early 2000. Brandy on her way to UK

[babyboi1002]

But making just in the UK is not enough....Kelis was dropped by Jive,Chirstina was dropped by Def Jam,Joss Stone is from the UK....and Pink has some success in the US...What I'm trying to say is,coming from a time selling female group...Kelly is not doing well....Her staying around hurt more than it helped. At least LeToya gets a clean break.

[1606Dominic]

U kno what ur 100% right, it hurt her career but I look at is as she having success somewhere whereas some people dont even get the opportunity to achieve no where near what she has achieved. From where she came from she should be on "Beyonce level" but God does things for a reason and success of a certain level is not for all. I always seen Beyonce and Kelly as Diana and Patti, as all kno Patti is underrated compared to her counterparts. Then u have to look at where she came from as a child

[pheonixphire]

i ahve to agree with this..seems like all the good music is coming from the UK as of late. whats with us americans..its like we dont appreciate good music..but we like dumb shit with no substance..its wierd.

[1606Dominic]

I agree with u about the music situation, but its never the pop country rock music, they stay with substance and evolve. But hip hop been dead and RnB is non existant casue its not manufactured ad pop/dance. That's why people like Mya, Brandy, Monica, Kelly, Michelle, Chrisette, Joss Stone, Angie Stone, and the other few true RnB singers dont sell records like it should be because people are so used to shaking there asses all the time, there's nothing behind the lyrics. Nothing compares to 90s

[pheonixphire]

tru that

[newbeginning1000]

@1606Dominic u r so true nuthin can be compared 2 the 90s baby da best era of music idk wut kind of crap these new artists puttin out dey need to sit down to take notes from people like tlc,dru hill,jodeci,mya,monica,brandy people lik them god plz bring muzik back

[DatBitch009]

@1606Dominic Mya isn't real R&B and Kelly is dance pop now so..

[xGOSSIPGIRL95]

@DatBitch009 Mya is R&B..

[bevandyke]

@1606Dominic: You betta say it!

[ninetiesbaby10]

Its better to sell records in Europe....Euros are worth more.

[brandoshine]

actually its Beyonce, Kelly, and Letoya & Latavia who have the title as "founding members"..not farrah or michelle

[pheonixphire]

i dont understand why her career cant take off over here in the states. i actually think kels makes better music then bey *shrug* is mathew still her manager? or just beyonce's?

[1606Dominic]

She fired matthew in January

She left Columbia Records in march

And currently has two single out flying up the charts ie in Europe

[pheonixphire]

mathew wasnt pushin her anyway. i just dont understand that man. and as much a si want him to..he will never admitt his wrongs..and kells has too much class to ever speak illy towards him or b.

[1606Dominic]

Exactly. I see it as Kelly grew up poor compared to the other members of the group and look at what she has accomplished. She is a classy woman and is very eloquent. She to much of a classy woman too ever disrespect anyone. guess the verse she wrote in survivor really is her when it comes to media, but dont her twisted.Her music personally has helped me grow as a person and move past previous relations. But I see it as this in the end she in Europe making pounds over dollars,now that's smart!!!

[arab3515]

this is a really rare video

[jazzyjjstar]

Does anyone have the just for me commercial wth latavia? I remember it but can find nothing on the net.

[rocdime]

It really doesn't matter what Destiny's Child's members are performing this song because. Beyonce does all the singing the others are just back up on this song. At least every now and then Kelly would have gotten apart but Toya and Tavia rarely ever had a solo part in a song.

[MrTavMarie110181]

Yeah this was probably performed at ground zero time (Nov-early Dec 1999) right before L&L were kicked out. smh...

[slunacourtier]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, BUT I THINK THIS SONG BECAME A REAL HIT BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR ALL 4 OF THEIR VOICES! Notice that all the other songs were not as popular as SAY MY NAME! And notice that SAY MY NAME was the FIRST SINGLE TO HAVE ALL 4 GIRLS VOICES! SAYS ALOT HUH?

[jayy4life]

There are other songs that you can hear all of them sing. Like "Now That She's Gone", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Temptation" and a few others. If you have like the small little earpiece (head-sets) in your ears you can hear them in the back ground, but this single is the one that everyone can hear all of them singing in the chorus instead of the background

[MrTavMarie110181]

this is the song that turned Destiny's Child into Beyonce and "the others." Notice that in the pre-"Say My Name" singles, They all sounded like a group (all four sang the hook). But then once Say My Name came out (not to mention other songs on TWOTW) you started hearing Bee sing the verses and hooks, and I doubt Kelly and michelle sang the harmonizing parts. Tav and Toy were given less harmonizing parts because Bee-Dad wanted all the vocals to go to his money-making daughter.

[pheonixphire]

i wonder if she ever faught for them. sometimes i think bey was innocent in all of this..other times i think she had a clue what was happening to her friends and didnt stand up for them. and i also wonder where thier parents were..if l&l's parents ever stood up for them or if they trusted mathew to handel everything.

[MrTavMarie110181]

I seriously doubt it. Beyonce was apparently in denial about what was happening, and Kelly was too busy being Beyonce's "cheerleader." Toy-Toy mentioned her mom being kicked off a tour bus because of Bee's pimp/manager got all high and mighty about nobody but the four girls being on a bus!!! wtf??? l&l's parents knew what was going down (letoya's mom even wanted a lawyer to review her management contract), but probably left it up to them as far as their decisions they made.

[pheonixphire]

i know this is prolly stupid but i canr ever apprciate bey's talent for what it is becasue i think this threw shade on her stardum in my eyes. dose it make her less talented..no..but it makes me respect her less as an artist. i'd respect her more if she owned up to knowing what was going on but was too afraid to say something to her father..then her just saying she had no clue. there is always intuition. she knew SOMETHING. they all did on some level.

[nishia87]

back then i didnt like beyonce because i felt that she didnt let the other sing and she thought she had to be the one to do EVERYTHING. but as she got older she started to share wit kelly "A LIL BIT". UGH. SHE'S A MIC AND SONG HOG

[eklavospice]

And now other divas are hating on Beyonce and they are Aretha Franklin and Etta James. In the near future there will be more Karma to come especially to his dad.

[nishia87]

i feel like if she should have came out by hersel and just had them as back up singers.lol she took the shine of all of them.

[porsheawiggins]

daym...thats a shame

[likedbymany]

I wish she would shut the fuck up lol. Why is it that you only hear Beyonce singin?

[slunacourtier]

LMAO! BEYONCE WAS LITERLALLY OVER KILLING HER VOCALS. She tries to hard to rip a little here and there and it just made this song sound worse. I think this was an idea for the original video... but as you see they had the freeze pose video.

[ladikira619]

THIS IZ HOW THE VIDEO SHOULD HAVE BEEN!

[godsbeauty84]

beyonce soundss a mess and i love her but she did sound crazy and yes this DC4 was the shit

[KidKlassic91]

Beyonce's alibiing throughout the song, between the verses, is extremely annoying. I think they could of cut up the verses between the girls evenly. The song was like 4 and a half minutes, dang, it's four of them !

[slunacourtier]

You are so right! Beyonce just kep saying say my name say my name say my name oh yeah say my say my say my name! LOL I'm like geesh B stfu!

[russroypal123]

I agree with RTUG00. I want them back.

[1ntuitive]

3:10 Latavia and Letoya look like they're over it.

[Flaminghot1000]

it looks like kelly rolloed her eyes at beyonce at 0:13 lol

[thiccumchicc24]

It looks like Kelly was looking at the camera, not beyonce

[Karj1991]

@1ntuitive I agree with you so much look like there thinking O 4 F sake.lol

[RTUG00]

Wow! Nice find. I thought LeToya/ LaTavia had been replaced by the time this song became a single.

[Flaminghot1000]

Yep me too

[Flaminghot1000]

You tripping Letoya is beautiful and Letoya can say good too haven't YouTube it and plus all of them are pretty in their own way and Beyonce should not have hogged it up like that!!!!!!!!!!

[ALPHAMALECEO]

I can only hear Beyonce. She is the best. The toad on the far right is too short and ugly to be lead singer.

[RTUG00]

LaTavia's the shortest and she's a cutie. I agree that she couldn't lead, but for different reasons.

[Flaminghot1000]

yah me too

[EpickEmpire]

She could lead. But her voice is more of a raspy type, like T-Boz from TLC. And you see T-Boz would just OWN TLC songs as the lead!

[pheonixphire]

yeah but the differnce is..when you think of tlc you think of TLC when you think of destiny's child you think of beyonce. in tlc they all got shine equally..it was rare to see chilli and left eye in the back while t-boz was singin and vise verca. beyonce is talented, i'm not hater..but i just dont like the way this "group" was marketed.

[EpickEmpire]

True. TLC did tend to give each girl their due in most of the songs. But most of the main vocals and most of their singles were T-Boz. Especially on CrazySexyCool. LOL!! But I know what you mean. This group was, as I've said before, "Beyonce and The Backup Brigade", much like how the Pussycat Dolls is "Nicole and Her Backup Dancers". It's really crap. I miss girl groups like En Vogue and Spice Girls. They really knew how to split a song up to showcase each member.

[pheonixphire]

i have to agree sister. envouge was the shit. as far as the pussycats..they were never supposed to really be a singing group per se. they started out as cabaret dancers..the reason nicole is there is becasue she can sing so i am inclined to think that the other girls actually cant sing. at least not good enough to be in the spot light. nicole and mel are really the only singers thats why thier the only ones whose voice u'll hear individually.

[EpickEmpire]

Yeah, you're right. In thier debut, Nicole, Melody and Carmit were the only ones with voices strong enough to be in the forefront. But I've heard the others sing on personal singles and they're not really bad. They're not amazing, but not bad. But what I mean is, even though most of them aren't powerful, it'd still be fun to see Mel get a lead verse in a song or two instead of just the embellishments at the end of a song.

[pheonixphire]

yeah i feel you on that.

[Flaminghot1000]

pleaz comment on my video thank you and who else thinks kelly rolled her eye at 0:13 at beyonce

[thesterlingchannel]

lol kinda looks like it

[KidKlassic91]

LMFAO ! SHE REALLY DID! I saw it on the video and im like , maybe shes just into the song. Then I saw what you said , i knew what i really thought was true!
