How can you not hear Michelle? Michelle is singing the TOP. You can actually Michelle the most. Though she normally took the bottom harmonies in Destiny's Child she has a very bright and agile upper chest and mixed range. She is very clearly singing the top part here. You can hear her distinct tone at 0:30-0:35. Most certainly not the weak link, in fact you can also hear when she stops singing on "tomo" and comes back in on "row, look to me"
It's like Beyonce's eyes turned into a microscope as she was looking to & looking at them. Lol! Bey was definitely impressed, which says a lot! Michelle definitely proved her reason for being in Destiny's Child. Also, she sang alto as a member of Destiny's Child, but her part was clearly soprano on this one. Did anyone hear that crisp run that she did on the line, "I'll keep you company when you are alone?" OMG!!! Tenitra Michelle Williams is my girl all day long.
Michelle is SO FULL at the end and when BEY notices it and touches her back, they were SISTERS FOREVER! That's anointed oil on Michelle is contagious and it is real! THIS IS JUST AWESOME!
I remember this sooooo clearly! Wow! This was like a week before Survivor dropped, I was in 8th grade, lol. They had Beyonce's elementary school choir teacher come out, and Kelly's best friend from Jr. High, and Monica called in to congratulate Michelle, b/c she used to sing background for Mo. It's all coming back to me! And Michelle and her girls killed it!
LeToya is good too and LaTavia have a workable voice (she just need much more confidence). The shade was for Farrah. Bey said that because they breakup! The originals and Chelle are friends now... Only Farrah is off the "DC Friendship".
@@landoblu For the people that are always putting those women against each other, is good for some of them know that they're friends now and DC5 CAN SING and not only stay in the back-vocals.
I remember this! Thanks for posting. I believe this aired just after their “Diary” type special where Farrah “left” in the middle of filming. Kelly and Beyoncé were still warming up to Michelle because you know she and Farrah had that new girl bond going on. You know, where y’all have been placed in a group and because you’ve come into the situation together you have that connection. But it was like in this moment they accepted Michelle in a different way because she’d been holding this back on them. Like, she could’ve easily stepped in trying to outshine them, but instead took her position in the group and, in my opinion, really upped the vocal talent of DC as a whole, especially concerning the harmony.
harmonies are amazing.. that tenor was a beast and of course michelle crushes that soprano line. i forgot she has range especially while singing tenor in dc3
I soooooo remember this! They were ripped this piece fasho. This is when I really feel in love with Michelle. I always hoped that the other ladies would have came out with a cd of their own. Michelle should have talked it over with them seriously, they were "AWESOME"
Definitely agree💯💯💯💯 When I watched this clip that day when it aired I also became a Michelle Williams Fan.... Wonder if the Ladies still singing today to this day🤔
I'm back here again 🤗 Still blown away by the beautifully well blended harmonies of these gifted ladies. Man what have they been up to since🤔 be real nice if they all got back together and put out a CD🤗 Lets Goooo Mz.Michelle Williams
Ananda Lewis didn't have a show on MTV. This was a Destiny's Child special to celebrate their Survivor album release. Back when MTV was about music they used to have big music specials like this and they'd have one of their VJs (Ananda Lewis, David Holmes, etc) be the interviewer.
Actually it's the woman in the pink behind her doing the bottom while her and Michelle's sister are doing the middle. Needless to say Michelle secured her spot forever here lol
@@TINKERB121 Beyonce meant Michelle and Kelly can have designated parts or solo lines. Beyonce is still the lead, she had most of the ad libs. Michelle and Kelly got to sing not only the backup.
Now I understand why Michelle Williams had solo parts to sing in Destiny's Child's official songs and live concerts, while the two former founding members of Destiny's Child, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, were only dancers and backing singers in the group ... Michelle Williams is vocally much more competent than LaTavia and LeToya, but even though she can't dance, she's still an added value to Destiny's Child, vocally speaking ... She brought a Gospel touch, and we often like to compare her to LeToya, but Michelle's voice is much more polished and stronger than LeToya's, even if LeToya can dance ... The fact that Michelle doesn't know how to dance can be explained by the fact that she grew up singing rather than dancing, and once she joined the group, she had to learn on the job how to dance, which meant she was often clumsy when dancing...
@justindwebber No, it's definately Michelle on the top, she has quite a disntinct, piercing tone in her upper chest range...just because she tended to sing tenor with DC doesn't mean she isn't more resonant and powerful singing higher. She actually uses much more of her upper chest range than Kelly does yet Kelly tended to sing top in DC
@justindwebber I really believe Michelle is on the soprano line, you can hear her piercing tone very clearly. 0:30-0:35 is very clearly her. In this vid you can hear why Kelly took the top parts mostly because Michelle's upper chest range is very piercing and would dominate rather than blend as well as Kelly's. In the Rotterdam Gospel Medley, when Michelle switches to the top on "all to thee my BLESSED SAVIOUR" her distinct tone powers through...
@JonathanGardnerTV you are right that is definitely michelle singing the soprano, anyone who's ever heard her sing in her upper register can recognize the sound of her voice on top.
She was so rudely speaking over there piece that pissed me off then and even more now Kelly looking like you seriously talking over there performance in the camera?
During This Interview RIGHT BEFORE Her Sister & Former Group Came Out She Hit A Whistle Note/Exclamation..She Said, "Ooooooohhhh Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaa...."
@JonathanGardnerTV and kelly is the one who sang soprano mostly bc she doesnt really have a strong lower register and because her tone was more pure and clearer than michelles which balanced their harmonies better. a few times the would switch it up and they would sing different parts but the best formula was was for kelly on soprano, bey on alto, and michelle on tenor.
Ion know about Y’ALL, but this almost sent me UPPPP!!!! Michelle and the ladies of United Harmony DID that…. I’m sure both Beyoncé and Kelly knew there wuz definitely something special about Michelle, and, judging by the look on Bey’s face, this wuz CONFIRMATION!!! 🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨
Daammmnnn, why didn't Michelle stick with this group when DC broke up! O_0 Her vocals mash so much better with them and you can hear her range better too!!
She goes up to a F#5 at 0:38 and was supposed to go up to a G#5 at 0:40 but notice she doesn't actually sing it...she goes "I am YOUR hope for...row, look to me...". She was like "hell naw I'm not going all the way up there" LOL. She has belted a G#5 once live and twice in the studio on the songs "You Care For Me" (from her debut Heart to Yours, which I've posted on my channel) and "Have You Ever" (from Do You Know, 2004).
OMG my mom sang with them for a lil bit, and they all came from my hometown ROCKFORD ILLINOIS Michelle also supportin 2 of our dance groups here FATALLY UNIQUE & MASS DESTRUCTION check us out.
@dc3lover, If I remember correctly, it was called MTV Live and it was 2 hours...they were promoting the Survivor CD and they had some guests from childhood and Beyonce's teacher, I think. I have it on VHS as well!
This is exactly why Michelle EARNED her spot in DC3 forever!! Beyonce's mouth was wide open!
THIS!
Michelle proved why she was the final key to Destiny's Child success.

@@troystories266 not a chance. She’s singing the top note. Soprano.

Beyonce Was like we aint firing this one this time
coldsoul59 OK!!!!!!! 💀💀💀
Y’all trash
Kelly was looking at that host like "Bitch is you really talking while they serving harmonies?" 😂
Lmao I just noticed that 😂

Beyoncé is like me when I hear harmonies. I can’t help but react, especially when they are clean or unique.
Same here ! My favorite part of singing
@@tylergregory200 I know that's right because when I hear harmonies my mind is just blown especially when it comes to high notes.
!!!!! She's such a harmony girl. I know that skill is what got Michelle cemented as the clincher of DC3.
But did anyone notice how beyonce was looking at Micelle like wtf you can SANG!!!!!!!!! lol and Kelly like oh hell naw
😁😁😁😁 yes!!
lmfao
lol
lol she like fuck she gone take my spot
Anthony Lucien Hell yeah gave her end parts of songs in DC
At 00:30 Michelle left the building and Tenitra showed up. Love it.
right

Yessss
Michelle is SO FULL at the end and when BEY notices it and touches her back, they were SISTERS FOREVER! That's anointed oil on Michelle is contagious and it is real! THIS IS JUST AWESOME!
Wow. I remember being floored when I first saw this! The chord progressions are sickening. These girls are sanging!!!

Michelle was the only one that could keep up with Beyonce vocally ...that was one of her strengths and the group saw that that’s why she stayed in
quiet as it's kept.
“I am your hope” whatever note that was she hit was amazing!!!!!! 00:38
"For TomoooroOooow" too. ❤️
Michelle killed that soprano!!! Omgg United Harmony wooow not even DC's harmony is that tight!! Yass they sang that!!!
Well
Destiny’s child harmonies are just as tight especially after hearing them sing the National Anthem together! It was beautiful!
The original line up is
Bey and Kelly looking like Um Michelle when did you become a soprano gurl lol they killed it
Lol
I happen to love seeing/hearing Michelle shine. Her voice is unique, and I love it. She has mad range!
That's real singing if you a real b fan y'all know she lives for 4 part an 3 part harmony Michelle killed it
*"Everyone gets to sing lead now, because everyone can sing lead"* ☕

Yesssss Michelle, she was doing it b4 DC3.
Crazzyyy!!!! Woooo!! I remember this and Bey's looks were killing!! No jealousy there she just knows good sanging when she hears it!!
that acceleration in the harmonies gave me chills
Yes gawd it did!!!!

Very well explained!!!
harmonies are amazing.. that tenor was a beast and of course michelle crushes that soprano line. i forgot she has range especially while singing tenor in dc3
And it was this moment when Beyoncé said "When we record Destiny Fulfilled, Michelle is going to sing verses and Kelly has the bridges" lol
lol
Puhh lease lol
So it was actually the opposite, but I guess
No.
kmallory100 Yes lol
Come thru Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!! Gawd
I soooooo remember this! They were ripped this piece fasho. This is when I really feel in love with Michelle. I always hoped that the other ladies would have came out with a cd of their own. Michelle should have talked it over with them seriously, they were "AWESOME"

Me too
Michelle been my fave since survivor
She is my favorite off the group
i love beyoncé and kelly’s face , they like “THATS MY BESTIEEE GIRL U BETTA SANGGG”
Michelle was high as H3LL on that soprano line! Wow!! The entire group is awesome!
Now THAT is REAL Singing! REAL VOICES!
MICHELLE KILLED IT! I don't appreciate Ananda tlkn during their song either LOLOL
Yesss Michelle!! Yesss!!!!
true story i remember this look it was yesterday. this is when i found out that Michelle could sing. People claim she can't but this proved it.
I think many people don't like Michelle's voice because its made for gospel music, so it doesn't really fit many of DC's songs.
THAT was some serious singing with nowhere to hide. You can either sing or not in that group! The harmony was tiiiiiiiiiight!
I'm back here again 🤗 Still blown away by the beautifully well blended harmonies of these gifted ladies. Man what have they been up to since🤔 be real nice if they all got back together and put out a CD🤗 Lets Goooo Mz.Michelle Williams
This is the catalyst for the transition from Destiny's Child to D3! Beyonce said "I want that sound!" lol
Damn Michelle
OMG!!!! I remember this!!!! This harmony was sooooo on point!!!!
I watch this like everyday! That was just insane yaaaaasss! I know Bey and Kelly was taking notes!!!!
this is the Ananda Lewis Show and Michelle and them killed it!

Can’t get enough! This never gets old 🙌🏾💚🔥
Okay Michelle is definitely killing these top notes but the woman sitting next to her is EATING this bottom. I loooooooooove her tone. Wow!
That’s her sister!! Did you see when they reunited and killed it AGAIN?
@@C4rterMusic no, her sister is standing behind her, Cameron. And YES, I did see the latest one...and they STILL sound just as great!!!
@@JamaalABivens It’s so funny cause I totally meant to correct myself cause I read the comment wrong initially lmaooo
@@C4rterMusic lol, no worries!
Actually it's the woman in the pink behind her doing the bottom while her and Michelle's sister are doing the middle. Needless to say Michelle secured her spot forever here lol
Awww, Beyonce was like "Damn, that was great ya'll, you'll never sing lead Michelle, but you've earned your spot on DC for sure!"
Beyonce actually said "everyone can sing lead now" many times when Farrah left the group lol.
lenzino7383 When she said "everyone can sing lead now" she meant that now the other two can actually have their own verses on a song.
RyderC Daniels nah they were right
@@TINKERB121 Beyonce meant Michelle and Kelly can have designated parts or solo lines. Beyonce is still the lead, she had most of the ad libs. Michelle and Kelly got to sing not only the backup.
Now you see why Michelle backing vocals on Dangerously In Love!!!
@demitris baker Sadly no
She sure was in them backgrounds on that song👏🏾
Gospel music is the best
Yessssss!!! I'm so glad my friend found this and sent it to me! I remember this special like it was yesterday!!!!! They sang doooown!
I have been looking for this vid for YEARS!!
Thanks for the upload!
I remember this when I was a teen. My sister, myself and my friend sang this all the time. I love this song!
I had been looking for this video, Michelle and United Voices smoked the damn thang on this one
I remember watching this live and they absolutely ate‼️👑
Had to come back here for the harmony
Michelle found her true calling. Gospel. She thrives here and she can be herself

@JonathanGardnerTV Yes, Michelle sang the Soprano line.
Bey and Kelly was like really Michelle u been holding out. They were amazed i see why they are close now.
Dramahawk Moe cuz when Michelle came in the group they weren't showcasing her vocal abilities, they were still focused on Beyoncé cuz she was the lead
Jeremy Collins yea
She’s a true alto she actually has a perfect voice to do jazz

I don't think she wanted to be singing in local churches for chicken dinners....
They didn’t break up...

Man, Beyoncé love a good vocal and harmony
I WAS JUST WATCHING THIS YESTERDAY. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS FAM
Michelle Williams strikes again
I would have loved an album by them
This was a TRL special celebrating Destiny's Child for the release of their Survivor album.

Slaychelle you thinking too hard
Cdperccrzy Tyler thanks for putting it in words
Also you can see a) Kelly’s face at the host being like “why are you talking?” b) Beyoncé vibing at every note/harmony.
this is real oldddddddddddd back in 2001 i forgot the show.
Beyonce looked like and probably said "We shouldve gave Chelle bigger parts on the album"
Michelle sounds so good
sing michelle
Michelle was so fine right here, she's still a good look.
Sang!!! Tenitra Michelle Sang girl
I see why Michelle wasn't taking the upper part of the harmony although she comfotably can, it could drown both Beyonce and Kelly's voice.
Yes and the fact that her voice is thin and light but has a slight husk similar to faith evans
Shes always beena star
Michelle looks so pretty.
The POWER
