As one of the pioneers of Contemporary R&B, SWV are often cited as the blueprint for the formula that is the urban girl group.
For, with their classics ‘Weak‘ and ‘I’m So Into You‘ just as loved today as they were when they released, there is little doubt of the impact they have made Pop culture and R&B music alike.
Now, hours after the surfacing of their latest release ‘Cosign‘, the group have shared their thoughts on Destiny’s Child front woman Beyonce, who was just 11 when their hit ‘Right Here’ topped the charts.
Their comments below…
On the ‘Party‘ Prima’s rise to success, LeLee explained:
I really enjoyed seeing Beyonce blossom because I have history with her. I always knew she was the star she is today back when she was way younger. It was just in her.
When asked on time away from the spotlight had affected them, she went onto reveal:
I wouldn’t say it was the greatest, but it was peaceful. You didn’t have to worry about people constantly picking on you for no reason. I went to church a lot more and my relationship with God flourished.
I really got to see music change, especially for the women. Sometimes I didn’t know if they were selling records or their ass lol.
In the interview with Vibe Vixen, the ladies also dished on how they hope to be received by younger audiences:
I think the fans are going to receive us well. We’re not going to try to be anything other than SWV.
We do have a lot of younger fans though–some of them know the songs, but can’t put a face to it. They know the songs because of their mom and older family and friends who came up in our era.
We’d like to bring the younger fans in our world of real music. Music that is honest and doesn’t lie. We want them to know that lovemaking is not a hit and run, but a process.

All the legends and icons love Beyonce ^_^
Why dont u love Bey? Oh wait everybody does except fat ugly envious tonedeaf losers. Oh well c’est la vie.
Who cares!
Madonna said she loves Rihanna, so between Madonna and SWV whose bigger?!
@Queenofthenavy Gurkkk you can tell your are very young cause you wouldnt have said whose bigger? #epicfail
That was nice of them to say and yes beyonce has had greatness since she was very young just like they or saying and that is good . And i am sure they or proud and happy for other Artist that is out there in the music
arena. Pay close attention to them saying their music has love from the younger crowd. That is a clear cut picture that theres many hwo has greatness and just need to keep working hard and keep their focus. They want to bring young fans into their world of real music how sweet. With songs like “Downtown” a mature and beautiful song it will surely fit right in with Beyonce’s “Party” and Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” to a “T”.
But they were always portrayed as tits and ass except for those long ass nails …who they trying to fool
Beyonce is a flop-fake-w**** whose vocals get worsen with age. She has faded and her time is over – FLATSCREEN
She could always come out with a line of prosthetic bellies – she shines the most in that career
And why are those challenged-face-women talking about her? Are they even relevant? Are they even women? That’s right, the irrelevant and locals praise Beyflopce
They should change their names to SWLLT: Sisters Who Look Like Trannies
@Rihannastan
LMAO a Rihanna stan is talking about vocals? LOL! Um don’t you mean Rihanna’s vocals have worsened! Everyone knows Rihanna can’t sing, dance, act, write or produce!
some people don’t like Beyonce because of the political stands she’s taken because she lets them bleed into her work unlike someone like Vanessa Redgrave who granted has been in the business more than 2x as long as Bey has and comes from a long standing family of actors and her dad was a merchant marine during world war II so she does work for veterans charities
STEVIE WONDER,Patti Labelle,Mariah Carey,Diana Ross,Babyface,Luther Vandross,Tina Turner,Prince,Anita Baker,MJ…………………………….And more and more and more LOVES BEYONCE!
So go to the hell with your Story with Madonna say she like Rihanna
Madonna s*** on Rihanna…

@LAX
YOU ARE A PATHETIC PUNK
YOU TRYING TO DRAW OUT STATS IS LIKE KATY PERRY TRYING TO GET A BOOST AT NO.1
ALL WHAT U SAID ISNT GOING TO MAKE RIRI AN ICON OR A LEGEND SO SIT YOUR ASS DOWN & EAT YOUR S***
There is nothing wrong with the way that SWV look, and i can’t stant the people who base evertything on looks like that determinds talent.
If talen was based on looks “artists” like Cassie would be a big player in the music business… she isn’t.
People need to learn to let the songs and vocals do the talking, for people who are blind music does the talking but for some idiotic people its clothes and weaves or hairstyles.
Hey LAX, Talk That Talk is FLOPPING on its ass! LOL! 😉
Look at the INSECURE (as well you should be) Rihanna fans — mad because Beyoncé is getting PRAISE from yet ANOTHER source. Ha! Just kills you, doesn’t it? Face it, Rihanna will ALWAYS be Jan Brady to Bey’s Marsha.
@LAX……Please Get A Life! Rihanna dont give two cents about ur ass, while youre on here typing up essays. Stop trying to bring Rihanna n this because SWV didnt say anything about her. Sure Rihanna is adored by millions but stop comparing her to Beyonce! Just because she has 10million followers and 49million friends dont mean s*** because 80% of those people didnt even buy Talk That Talk..so what the hell are they there for. Beyonce is a Icon and on the steps of Legendary, Rihanna is still trying to prove she is a mainstay in the pop world. Beyonce has had Iconic performances and Legendary Awards Bestowed upon her…ur girl have even reached that potiental yet. BEYONCE IS THAT MAYBACH CAR rolling through the hood and here comes a bunch of ugly ass, no hair, magie dogs called haters barking at the MAYBACH(BEYONCE)…dont u Ugly ass dogs(haters) know u cant stop that car…..SO STOP IT…UR WASTING UR TIME.
@LAX And stay off TGJ too! Everyday u and the rest of the R****** Delusional Navy are on here talking s*** about other artist. Rihanna ass has released 6 Albums n the USA and havent sold over 7million albums…shes basically a SINGLE ARTIST HERE. Now talk that talk.
Every single post has to be about beyonce or rihanna?????? If someone issaying something good bout beyonce, someone HAS to bring in rihanna. ughhhhhhhhhhhhh these stan wars do no good ya know.
Lax
yet, HALF of those followers didn’t BUT Talk That Flop Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
OH Man here we go again
I just dont understand how Rihanna became apart of this article when the article is about SWV and them speaking on Beyonce! The haters stay reaching
sam is messy as hell… He is thinking “oh let me post “proof” that SWV likes Beyonce so that it makes her look better..” B**** please.. I was on the post of the new SWV song so I know what this is all about sis. And anyway this is just Lelee broke ass talking lol
YOURE A HOT MESS I LIKE THE OTHER TWO BETTER
This isn’t suprising .. Ppl like stevie wonder, prince, tina turner, diana ross, patti labelle, chaka khan, paul mccarntey, barbara streistrand and michael jackon hav ALL praised beyonce for her talent and see her as the star she is .. I remember diana ross was on the view and when they asked her who she saw in todays market as having longevity and the kind of career she has had beyonce was the ONLY name she said without a ounce of hesitation .. Its ppl on blogs who live for chart positions and stanning that try and down bey but the ppl in the industry who have ACTUALLY LIVED IT and kno what it takes know beyonce has IT in every sense of the word
@Tc23 YASSSSSSS well said!
@TC23
If you dont PREAAAACHHHHH that f***in good word !!!! YASSSSSSS.
Let the chuuuch say AMEN !
they are only saying that so her fans will listen to their new stuff…
That was very nice of SWV to give Beyonce props. It’s a little known fact that Destiny’s Child OPENED for SWV on tour many years ago. SWV gave Beyonce and Destiny’s Child their BREAK in the business before Destiny’s Child debut single came out.
SWV got a solid fan base. They don’t need to pander to Beyonce’s fans, especially since SWV gave her and DC their break.
HATERZSTAYPRESSED…, Exactly, not to mention how incredibly influenced Beyonce herself is by Coko…, vocally before Beyonce, there was Coko and I state that as in many ways I’s always felt more than any of the other girl groups out SWV is where Destiny’s Child took their lead…, Bey fans who say otherwise sound like in denial Dru Hill fans trying to underplay the influence of Jodeci on them.
Goodness… they were asked about Beyonce because SWV mentored Destiny’s Child heavily before No, No, No came out and the original DC opened for SWV in the late 90’s.. look at the thank yous on the first two DC albums..
lmao i see the flop r****** stans take time out of there failed daily life to come on this post just to show there (jealously) over BEY lmao you kids are just pathetic…and lmao @ that d*** saying madonna said she likes r****** i mean that’s a first lmao too bad she wouldn’t make a song with her or perform with her… wait has r****** ever performed with a legend? OOPS (NO!) HAHAHHA gtfo this post wack ass hater’s bey has broken records r****** will never get close to at all ever in her mini career she has… lmao kids need to really find a hobby… guess because BEY won artist of the decade its still soaked in there flopped brains lmao while rihanna will (NEVER) win that award especially with her latest attempt “talk that flop” which stumbled out of the top 10 after 2 weeks =-( and they said it sold good o.o HAHAHAHA i just can’t with these kids who support a artist with a recently flopped tour/album #FAIL

@Rihannastan: Has SWV hit a nerve?? LMAO!!! That goes to show, Rhianna is crap!!! Even the legends don’t give her recognition!!! LMAO!!! S*** even Mary J Blige have Beyonce in her album. Where’s Rhianna? NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!! SHE IS DONE MUSICALLY!!! Until Rihanna work with REAL ARTISTS, then talk. All these meaningless stats don’t mean s***. I’m not a Beyonce stan, and I know Beyonce have respect to the Legends, Where’s Rihanna? Oh that’s right, looking like a crackhead and taking off her clothes to sell her music. What legends or icons is respecting her? NO ONE!!! Whitney Houston said it best ” I didn’t have to take off my clothes to sell records and to gain fans, it’s about talent” RHIANNA IS TALENTLESS- SHE CAN’T SING, CAN’T DANCE, NO STAGE PRESENCE PERIOD!!! LMAO. So do yourself a favor, simmer down a sulk with your baby thumb because SWV gave notice to Beyonce with respect and Rhianna is a distant memory.
ive always hated how lelee comes across in interviews….such a know it all!!!! i prefer the lelee back in the 90s the quiet one not the all in your face making outrageous comments lelee…. she jus comes across insecure to me…. always tryna make people laugh by saying stupid things to make herself feel loved GIVE IT UP LEANNE COS U SOUND WACK LIVE…ESPECIALLY ON ANYTHING!!! why the hell do you sing that low harmony in the chorus U SOUND STUPID just sing the lead with taj and get you on if only you knew wit cho lazy ass!!!!! you singing that granpa note in the chorus…bloody hell and you got the nerve to preach about todays music LOL pretty rich coming from you!!!! oh and shut up about being a teenage mother already cos u always bragging about it like u won a trophy…three words ZIP YOUR LIPS cos i know taj wasnt playing when she said your mouth is jacked up!!!!!
