Television, stage, and music are just a few of the many wins attributed to Gospel songbird Michelle Williams over her storied career.

Indeed, the Midwestern beauty has conquered many-a-platform in her rise to the top – a rise that has been fueled by no shortage of Grammy wins, critically acclaimed solo outings, and Broadway deliveries (including a recently announced venture on the revived “Jesus Christ Superstar” national tour).

But, as any winner will tell you, the process can include its fair share of falls and fails.  A process Williams is no stranger to, the ‘We Break the Dawn’ diva recently took time to talk to TIME to break her silence on her career’s most “embarrassing moments”.

Thanks in great part to Perez Hilton, a late 90s interview clip of the original Destiny’s Child members made its way around the net due to one awesomely gif-worthy moment.

As fans know, the clip shows a young Beyonce, Letoya Luckett, and Latavia Roberson imparting some serious side-eye action to Kelly Rowland after she introduced herself as the group’s ‘second lead vocalist’.

No member of the group has spoken out about the viral clip until now as Luckett, in hot promotion of season 3 of VH1′s hit show ‘Single Ladies’, weighed in on the clip with MTV:

Destiny has certainly been kind to Kelly Rowland and LeToya Luckett.

The former Destiny’s Child band-mates looked all sorts of lush as they caught up at Atlanta’s Prive earlier this week.

While the snap may come as a surprise to some, the pair have photographed together on multiple occasions since rekindling their friendship several years ago.

As many will recall, Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were ousted from the Grammy winning group in 2000 after requesting new management. DC’s remaining members Rowland and Beyonce would go on to recruit Michelle Williams – a decision that would see the collective go on to achieve the lion-share of their epic success.

Having enjoyed a solid solo run (one she’s looking to extend with her third studio album), Lady L recently revealed that she’s continuing to flex her acting muscles thanks to a new main cast role on VH1′s ‘Single Ladies’.

Kelly Rowland has proven that she knows how to ‘Talk A Good Game’ solo, however -in a treat for Destiny’s Child fans –  Ms. Kelly calls on her band mates for new track ‘You’ve Changed’.

Produced by Harmony, a meaty preview of the R&B groove was played during the 32-year-old’s visit to Raheem DeVaughn‘s radio show over the weekend.

Not to be confused as a “Destiny’s Child track”, the cut sees Kelly take center-stage with support from her sisters.

Happy Memorial Day from the That Grape Juice family to yours!

To ode the brave men and women who fight to protect our countries (on both sides of the pond), we’ve assembled a collection of military-themed music videos that we’ve grown to love over the years.

From Mariah Carey’s ‘I Still Believe’ to the iconic Janet Jackson‘s ‘Rhythm Nation’, the efforts of military servicemen and women have long stood as muses for some of music’s most memorable videos.

Take a look below for our faves and share some of your own:

Arriving at LA’s London Bridge Studios to enjoy all the album had to offer before it drops on April 23rd, the R&B darlings enjoyed the company of producer Harmony Samuel, as they listened to the release…which we are happy to say is her best yet.
