R&B star LeToya Luckett performed at the Strictly Divas concert last night at The Grove of Anaheim in California. Interestingly, during her set, the former Destiny’s Child member performed a medley of some of the group’s biggest hits. Check out her spin on ‘No, No, No’ and ‘Say My Name’ above…
For a reason I’m still unable to put my finger on, I kinda gave this a mild side-eye initially. This most likely due to the drama surrounding LeToya’s exit from the group, the fact she never sang anything solo, as well as the fact that their biggest success was without her. In any case, Ms. Luckett is very much a part of the Destiny’s Child legacy, hence in reality she does have a right to put her own spin on their hits. That said, it’s still kinda surreal hearing her sing ‘Say My Name’ etc solo.
You can actually hear LeToya on “Say My Name” doing the background vocals. Though in the press they got more attention post-break up, but as it stands now their sophomore album is their biggest selling collection to date. And is the group’s overall favorite album among fans. If she can still get a royalty check for a song she has publishing credits for, she has every right to sing it. She should’ve been allowed to sing more back then anyway.
lmao this is hilarious because she didnt actually sing anything she kept puttin the mic in the audience and every part was beyonce singing! im sure matthew knowles will be shutting this down real quick!
umm she was barely singing. pointing the mike to the audience for more than half the video and all.
but either way, she WAS a part of dc during the “destinys child” and “writings on the wall” album. and she WAS part of these 2 songs. now if she were up there singing “survivor” or something…
She got a grammy for Say My Name so she can sing it.
ZZZZ… Some people are background for a reason! But all ‘n all the checks cleared and now she can use Beyonce’s voice to sell her mediocre presence. HAVE FUN!!!
She sounded like the record and it must suck to have the audience sing most of Beys part I know feel real dumb. Right now letting her sing all the lead smh…
this was just stupid in so many ways. how can she expect to get out of Bey’s shadow if she uses her vocals with the performance. How stupid !!!!!! I wouldnt have minded if she had just sung it lol but she didnt even do that !!!!!!
Why side eye, Sam? She did sing on the original records (background)…Kelly does her medley of the DC songs why can’t LeToya? Kelly has a few leads but for the most part she does Beyonce’s sections too. Now Letoya would look like a fool had she done songs post-break-up. Talk about awkward.
I don’t remember her in Destiny’s Child and I don’t think she has the right to sing their songs.
Destiny’s Child were bigger and better without her. She’s just bitter and wants attention, and now she’s getting it.
Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyonce Knowles will and always be the Destiny’s Child we know and love.
@ at Me stop the crack and know the facts!!!!
@ Me
She doesn’t have the right to sing their songs? Really? It’s just as much her song as it is theirs because she was apart of the recording! So she does have the right to sing those songs. And “Say My Name” is actually one of their bigger hits. And how is bitter by singing songs she was apart of?
LeToya has every right to sing those songs i luv the dc4 songs.
Letoya has as much right to perform these song as any of the original members. Not only did she put in as much work at the other members, before she was unceremoniously booted out of the group, she also has wirter’s credits on “Say My Name.”
But I honestly appreciate Letoya as the artist that she has become, and not the artist that she was; but I could understand why she might want to take a trip “back down memory lane” (sidenote: Minnie Riperton is the best, I could listen to that song all day long).
But people will continue to hate, and claim that she has not talent, or that she riding DC coattails. But while y’all jocking DC’s fresh, Letoya still has a platinum cd that was No. 1 on the Billboards, and she still got the grammy for “Say My Name.” I tell you about haters ….(smdh)
LOL PO THANG,SHE NEADS BEYONCE NOW MO THEN EVA!!!!!!
I THINK SHE WAZ UNGRATEFULL FO TALKIN SMACK ABOWT BET WEN BEY PUT HER ON DA MAP!!
well,she was there when those two songs were released…and she helped co-write them,so so she has every right to sing them….now i wud be givin her the side-eye had she chose to sing maybe Bootylicious or anything after that came after The Writings on The Wall….but to me and m sure to most the best/ real DC is B,Kelly and Michelle…they all sang and their voices complimented each other…and they did have the most success as DC3
didn’t she actually help with the writing of these songs as well….
It was ok, and she has every right to sing the song. To keep it real it looked dumb, because all she sung were the background vocals. At least Kelly knows better which part of the songs she uses when she performs a DC medley. Anyway I am glad she opened up for “MONICA” last night. Which btw Still Standing in stores March 23, 2010!
The thing is that she was singing on the tracks but when “Say My Name” was released they had Michelle and Pharrah in the video. Its just funny to me how people want to pretend like she was never in the group.
Besides she only sang songs that she was on. Now if she did “Lose My Breathe I’d be like what the hell!
She has every right to sing those songs because she was on them plus she was part of The Writings on The Wall which was the groups biggest album. She did look kinda dumb though letting the audience sing the whole song for her. Shame really cos she has a great voice
LOL PO THANG, BEYONCE NEADS LETOYA NOW MO THEN EVA!!!!!!
I THINK SHE WAZ UNGRATEFULL FO TALKIN SMACK ABOWT BET WEN LETOYA PUT HER ON NON-SINGIN ASS ON DA MAP!!
she is the only person from any DC formation to do straight up RnB… so i like it!!
SAM SHUT THE HELL UP PLEASE. LETOYA IS THE ONE WHO WROTE THEM DAMN SONGS WHILE BEWHORE’ SAT HER BABOON ASS UP THERE TAKIN CREDIT FOR S*** SHE DIDN’T DO. THAT AIRHEAD B**** CAN’T EVEN SPELL HER OWN NAME LET ALONE WRITE SOME SONGS. GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT B*******. THANK YOU!!
Well she is still trying to get some attention to help her in her career since she is failing. Look how sucessful the DC that we are aware of is, (Beyonce,Kelly,Michelle) so why not now try and let people know who she was. I think she wants to capitalize off the DC fans to help her reagain some notice in the musice industry. Remember when she first came out as a solo artist, everything she did was somehow about Beyonce. Maybe if she realize that she should try to gain her own fan base off of herself and herself only.
i just love LeToya!
she will soon have more hits in the future that she will be able 2 sing every note….!
god bless her!
I was just kidding before, I can’t stand beyonce mediocre ass. That hamhock can’t do nothin but swing her weave around and stop,drop, and roll like she on fire. From this I can see that Letoya should have been the lead singer the whole time DC was out. Matthew Knowles that c*ck-suckin a*** hole b**** makes me sick.
she is a songwriter
while beyonce was well known for being the lead singer
letoya was making money off of writing some of those songs
why do you think they went to court and a settlement was done
but no one ever speaks of it,
this was just stupid in so many ways. Why she had to crush bey, kelly, and michelle like that. Bey and all them dc h*** must be embarrassed because she out sang they looney tune asses all over the place. Letoya is a class act and bey is a class clown. Go toya, you s*** on all haters. Even that one up there who pretending to be me.
@bebe
Thank you for tellin the truth. At least somebody up in here know how to tell the truth and SHAME the devil that is bewitchonce.
I’m tired of pyshos comin up in here pretending to be me. Damn haters. Letoya don’t need no dumbass dc or that r***** beyonce to get attention. At least letoya still got her soul and ain’t sold it like beyonce.
@joesullivan
I agree. I love me some RnB and not all that stupid dumbass pop and rock b******* everybody want to do.
Lady L was smart…she knows that it would be lawsuit city if she dare sang a word that belonged to Queen Creole!
Anyway, have you ever noticed the way Beyonce ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS lip-syncs the first verse to Independent Women! Same situation, you can not perform it without paying royalties to the writer, etc!
Latoya’s talent and success has proven why she was ousted! Let’s just call it a “Conflict of Interest”!
she tried it and failed – what was the point of this performance? well this sing along!!!
Aaron, get a grip. Nothing Letoya has done or will EVER do will crush Bee, Kelly nor Michelle. She is singing songs that she co wrote on. Look at the credits. Bee and Kelly AND tavia CO wrote on the songs too. and she out sang them???? really? Are you deaf? you gotta be and your guessing at it. Toya can sing but she didn’t out sing anyone in this video. I have no hate towards Letoya and it’s sad that so many people do but dont got talking s*** about Bee and Kelly because somebody else dont like Toya. This ain’t that. Also she has every right to sing the songs that came out when SHE was in the group. She could also sing other songs if she wanted to she would just get a serious ‘side-eye’.
@MILKY,N**** U SHUT YO MOWF!!!!!
BEY IZ TALINTED SHE IZ A TRIPPLE THREAT.
SHE HAS PROVED DAT SHE CAN SING DANCE ACT N RITE SONGS.
BEY WROTE MOST OF DC ALBLIMS DEN WEN SHE WENT SOLO SHE WROTE OVA 95% OF HER ALBLIMS!!
DONT HATE DA PLAY HATE DA GAME N BEY IZ KILLIN DA GAME.
WERE YO FAVS AT? U MAD?
NUMBAS DONT LIE B*** EX GROUP MEMBA DO.LOL
BEY IZ DA QUEEN OF R N B!!!
To all these damn frogs up in here talkin bout Letoya tryin to get attention from DC ya’ll need to choke on some damn flour cause Letoya can do what she damn well pleases. If she want to get attention from the songs that SHE wrote and sang on, I say go toy-toy go ahead and keep doin it and there ain’t a damn thing those talentless bimbos got to say about it. While you at it, do bug-a-boo, and all the songs from the writings on the wall album. SMDH at these damn toads.
SORRY FOR ALL THOSE DAMN TYPOS THAT IMPOSTOR IS DOING ON MY PREVIOUS POSTS. NUMBAS DON’T LIE BUT BEY ALWAYS DO.
BEY IS THE C*** OF R N B!!!!!
@Captain Earth,LATOYA AINT PULLIN NO BIG NUMBAS N SHE AINT NEVA GONNA PULL NO BIG NUMBAS.
NOT NUMBAS LIKE BEY!

@beydacorniest(da fake one)
YOU ILLITERATE ASS N***** SIT YOUR ASS DOWN. LEARN HOW TO SPELL BEFORE YOU START TYPING ON A DAMN COMPUTER YOU F*CKIN R*****. beyawnce (her name isn’t worthy of capitalization) IS A SKUNK MEANING SHE STINKS AND THE H** CAN’T “RITE” AS YOUR DUMBASS SAYS. THE B**** CAN’T ACT AND THAT’S WHY THE OSCAR WENT TO J-HUD, AND ALL THOSE FAKE GRAMMY’S SHE GOT WAS PAID FOR. SO BEFORE YOU TRY TO TALK SH*T B****, TALK WHAT YOU KNOW YOU ASSWIPE.
UMMM YEA SHE FAILED AT THIS…LETOYA DO ME A FAVOR AND LET ONLY KELLY AND BEYONCE, DESTINY’S CHILD DO THE MEDLEYS
@LOVE THIS WOMAN
MAN, LETOYA IS PRETTIER, MORE TALENTED, AND TALLER THAN BEYONCE. SHE HAS MORE STYLE AND HAS MORE CLASS. THAT CLOWN BEYONCE WILL NEVER BE ON LETOYA’S LEVEL IN HER PUNY ASS LACED-WIG LIFE. SHE LOOK LIKE A SHRIMPY ASS CLOWN AND HER MOO MOO MAMA LOOK LIKE URSULA FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID. WHILE BEYONCE IS OUT THERE SELLIN HER SOUL TO GET ATTENTION AND LEADIN THE IDIOTS WHO ARE HER FANS TO HELL, LETOYA CAN JUST SING SONGS SHE WON GRAMMYS FOR, GET ATTENTION, AND NOT LOSE HER SOUL. NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MULTI-TASKING. GO LETOYA!!!!
TO THE PERSON UP TOP TRYIN TO BE ME, PLEASE SCATTER. EVERYONE UP IN HERE KNOWS IMMA LETOYA STAN. WHY IS IT THAT BEYONKEY CONSTANTLY FAILS AT SINGING THESE SONGS AND LETOYA CAN JUST OPEN HER MOUTH AND SOUND LIKE AN ANGEL. EFFORTLESS. SHE SUCCEEDED BIG TIME AND THAT TRASHY CUCUMBER BEYONKEY FAILS EVERYTIME.
Letoya never got a chance to shine cuz of Beyonce. But she got talent. and damn, she pretty.
Rock on LeToya!
I think that people need to know that they actually hear LeToya’s voice the loudest in the chorus of “Say My Name” .. the part that she sang in the video (right above the melody) is her voice and the part that most people sing during the chorus. I wish they could have at least got the girl an instrumental because she has every right to sing the parts Beyonce sings on the record. We don’t know who contributed what PARTICULAR words to the song, but LeToya is a credited writer. The lyrics to this song are more LeToya/LaTavia style if you ask me anyway.
Even Beyonce’s fans know she can’t write.
that was beautiful…. whether or not she wasnt part of their major hit like say my name or not… the bottom line is that she was once a part of destinys child and has every right to sing some of the songs if she so wishes.. simples!!!!!!!
LETOYA WILL NEVER BE BROKE N DESPERATE. TRY RICH AND TALENTED. SHE’S GREATER THAN SNAKEY BEYONCE. KELLY AND MICHELLE ANOREXIC ASSES CAN’T SING S***. THOSE H*** WANT TO BE THE EMPERESS LETOYA LUCKETT. BUT THEY CAN’T CAUSE THEY UGLY AND STUPID LIKE THEIR PET M***** BEYONCE.
LMAO why are people getting so upset over her singing a song she co wrote and was apart of vocally when it was recorded? Let us not forget that she was apart of destiny’s childs success. I still say writings on the wall was the best album
Oooooh, I hope she doesn’t get in trouble for that.
I just wanna say this: In my opinion SAY MY NAME is the CATCHIEST song ever Made & it never Gets old. The vocals, the lyrics, the medley, the Rythm its just Great. No song is catchier, forget any TLC, Janet, Rihanna, Gaga, ashanti, Britney song or any other song.
SAY MY NAME is the Truth- CLASSIC. Beyonce is an Icon whom has longevity & makes long lasting music.
letoya is so talented.i am so happy for all the success that is coming her way.may god continue to bless her
Please stop DISSING the other DC girls because it’s not cute and it shows desperation on her fans part to make her seem like more than what she is. A diamond in the rough is still a diamond! We know Toya can sang. We know she can perform. But it’s ‘stans’ like some of ya’ll that make people talk crap about her by dissing the other DC girls. Ya’ll claim to be her fans or what not but you aren’t acting like it. instead of highlighting something good about her ya’ll want to discredit the other DC girls but that isn’t helping Toya so ya’ll need to let whatever other jack asses say negative about Toya go and say something positive about her. AND Beythebess Beyonce didn’t put ANYONE on the map sweety. DC was NOT beyonce’s group, it was a group that she was apart of. All of those girls did they parts to make it what it was. All the girls are talented and I wish them the best.
@ Aaron I agree, Letoya is beautiful but what I am saying is that dissing Bey isn’t helping Toya. It’s not going to do nothing but make the Bey stans HATE toya and that’s not good. I like Bee, I like Kelly and I like Toya and I would rather see them ALL do good. It’s sad that people feel like in order to like one of the girls they gotta diss all the other ones when in reality all of the girls are talented and beautiful.
Beydabess
We actually dont know how much of the DC songs Beyonce wrote because she’s been caught lying entirely too much about songs. Hence the whole ne-yo then the cater to you fiasco.
This was from a SONY employee…..
A lot of these artists claim to be songwriters, but don’t always write a thing. Some, like Beyonce, serve as vocal arrangements, which points to part of the song’s composition, and thus, receive a songwriting and production credit. Others, like Beyonce, can demand credit based on their name alone. I myself have heard of new song writers looking for placement with Beyonce’s last album being told Beyonce demands a certain amount of publishing upfront (and it’s substantial) or they could “be paid handsomely” to politely remove their name from the song altogether. Fact is, Beyonce didn’t write one song on “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce and her team have bought the rights from the songwriters and then Beyonce took credit for it. I have no idea about previous albums but it’s obvious that Beyonce never had a pen in her hand, which is a shame because Beyonce claims something she isn’t.
WOOOOW.
I dont think I believe that sony employee….fully. I do know that singers and rappers pay for ghost writers but damn…. i got faith in Bey that she wrote some of the album.. -_-
In 10 years when Kelly, Michelle, Letoya and Latavia find their own success I want them all to come back as a group. They all have sorted their differences out and it would be wonderful to see all of them back together again.
FYI All of the DC4 girls wrote on “Say My Name” LeToya just said it . In the court order if it doesn’t say Letoya doesn’t have the right to no longer sing any of Destiny’s Child songs then thats when you can talk. So Beyonce and Kelly didn’t have that in place so LeToya can sing the song. Most of All she helped write it along with the rest of the DC girls
DESTINY’S CHILD IS
BEYONCE , KELLY AND MICHELLE !
THATS THE ONLY GROUP U EVER GOING TO GET DC3 4- EVER!
It’s funny that you said when they find their own success in 10 years because Kelly just came off of touring for the past two years to have a #1 dance record and is about to release her third album, dropped a management team that barely manages anything, inked a new deal with a record company, helped a uk dj become a us phenomenon (david guetta) and all without stealing music, redoing 30 year old videos and not giving credit, lying about songwriting, stabbing people in the back, publicity stunts, fake relationships, drugs, being naked, being bipolar, being provocative or wearing a leotard….. and Michelle dropped an album that NO ONE knew about because of the management team that she had that didn’t manage anything and still held her head high and now she’s back on broad way as Roxie Hart making moves and money AND a new album. I think they are already successful. Letoya recorded two albums and a movie and is touring with Monica and doing hosting and other shows on the side. She’s successful also. Tavia had a baby and is writing a book. She is apparently happy where she is at so im happy for her.
@ JAY NOBODY EVEN KNOWS ABOUT YOU…WHO ARE U??!! THAT NAME IS VERY COMMON U DUMBASS…I GUESS THERE IS GONNA BE 2 JAY’S ON TGJ
Sam knows how to get the ball rolling. Congrats Sam you sparked another pointless debate, to answer your question the answer is yes Lady L has every right to sing DC songs as long as its song from when she was in the group. Anything beyond that is a no go.
The only reason why letoya is still on this song is because the destinys child didnt re-record it. The fact of the matter is she was out of destinys child b4 this song came out and michelle was a huge part of the songs sucess the amount of promotional work at that time was emence Letoya really left before the album took off thus she dosent get much credit for sucess.
My opnion is shes is a solo aritist now struggerling to get noticed and perfroming dc songs is just gonna get her fighting for space with beyonce and in reality there is no contest no matter what no one says beyonce is in a totally different arena to letoya.
For her sake she shouldnt sing destinys child songs from them times leave the past in the past and just stick to the material form her two albums which are good alubms.
Letoya has every right to Say My Name. She is one of the cowriters.
This just shows you how rigged DC was back in the day……
But anywho, she didn’t even really sing it until the end, she just bounced around while the track played and the audience chanted it. I don’t know if it’s common courtesy for her to sing it since she did get fired and wasn’t even really singing on them. But regardless it’s nice to hear her sing them. I wish Kelly and Michelle would sing some songs from DC’s back catalog in it’s entireity. It would just be nice to hear. 🙂

DESTINY’S CHILD IS
BEYONCE , KELLY AND MICHELLE !
******
Sorry by DESTINY’S CHILD IS
BEYONCE.
(Letoya is so much better than michelle anyways)
News flash for those who might be young and new to the music world, but Letoya has EVERY right to sing those songs because guess what..??? she co-wrote them with the other ORIGINAL members of destinys child. Secondly, the media does recognize beyonce,kelly, michelle as being more successful, cant lie about that, but TO DATE, The Writings on The Wall is their highest selling album which includes… wait for it.. LETOYA! Please stop comparing her to Beyonce because they are in two different lanes. If you dont love Toya then leave her alone… Very simple 🙂 Thats all (in meryl streep) voice
so we’re just gonna act like the first two destiny’s child albums didn’t exist?
oh okay…
and also, letoya isn’t the only former member of a girl group to sing their former songs
for example, diana ross sings a lot of supremes songs
@e11
NO BEYONCE IS BEYONCE
DESTINY’S CHILD IS BEYONCE, KELLY & MICHELLE
LETOYA IS JUST THE GIRL THAT GOT KICKED OUT NOTHING MORE LOL
For the un-educated fools out dere LeToya has every right to sing DC songs she was involved in and wrote. She been in that group from 9yo running around in Bee’s back yard, working her ass off as a team member of DC, she was apart of Girls Tyme (Destiny’s Child original name for ya’ll who don’t know shiiit)
The Writings On The Wall wasn’t the most selling album but most RnB peoples favourite along with Fulfilled.
How many off ya’ll know about this audtion vid of DC?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohdW8Im8oC0
Singer, Songwriter LeToya Luckett may not have finished the DC legacy but she was a founding member and has 2 albums with them. She co-wrote many tracks and was key part of writing DC’s Grammy award winning song “Say My Name”
LeToya has the right to sing the songs if she wants….How are you gonna tell the girl who WROTE the songs she cant sing them…For all we know she wrote the whole song and they just threw Beyonces name on the list of writers….hmmm somethin to think about
Letoya straight rip it. Yes and she does have the right to put her spin on it. She wrote the damn thing. We all know Beyaki ain’t wrote s***. She is and always will be the BEST from that Group. So please son’t get it twisted about Letoya singing those songs Her and Latavia are responsible for the best songz out of that damn group.
It always seems to me how so many haters fear Ms. Luckett because she squashes that w**** bug Beyonnnnnce like a bug.
She just sang the brakes off that GAY HAFER BEyonce
Letoya keep doing ya thing. You already showed an proved they can’t fu*k with you LADY LOVE!!!!!!!!
@Me,
Why is she bitter and jealous? She’s done quite well on her own thank you very much. AND THAT’S WITHOUT THE STUPID GIMMICKS.
hmmm see i have a problem with this because she should have jus sang say my name fully , she can sing now ! she couldnt sing like she does now back then thats why beyonce had so many leads , her voice was and still is the strongest , but the other girls have voices too now , personally i think letoya is a better singer than kelly LIVE .
TAMIKA from xscape sings all the girls parts on there songs but at the same time you hear y she wasnt given certain parts of the song so its a double edge sword , letoya did good on the bits i heard though
@Roabsalom
UMMMM.. She doesnt ALWAYS lip the first verse. Back int the day with DC3 she did but these days she never lips much of anything, especially when she performs the DC medley.
And SHE WROTE Independent Women so what are you getting at ???
#EPICFAIL -_____-
Le Toya does have the right to sing the songs just as much as the other girls. It didn’t sound too good though. @ Rob, Kelly is a much better singer. Kelly vocals are off the chain.
After hearing “when love takes over” live 4rm Kelly Rowland I’m convinced she is the best outta all the girls fa real. I didn’t even know Kelly had a song like that until I just happen to come across this site.
She’s not even in the Say My Name video. *death*
SMDH
Sing or don’t sing s*** at all. :/
I’m just LMAO @ these silly ass Bey stans and fans that have the audacity to tell LeToya what she can’t and can sing. HELLO PEOPLE NEWS FLASH: LeToya co-wrote on these songs so why can’t she sing them. I don’t give a good got damn which DC is more f****** famous, but what I do know is you b****** ain’t about to dis-credit LeToya for TIME and EFFORT she put into a group that kicked her out because the the common sense to not let PIMP MATTHEW KNOWLES swindle her out of money PERIOD. People fail to realized when your a writer on a song that’s a BIG ASS CHECK and if you not seeing the money you know good and well you supposed to be getting, that poses a problem. F*** WHAT YOU HEARD, LETOYA IS A REAL B****. You don’t like her, get the f*** on.
@ Beydabest
And that is why they said Beyonce has some of the dumbest fans. 🙄 You illiterate c***. HAVE A SEAT. 😆
AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU SIMPLE B******. SIT THE F*** DOWN.
Yall act like she wrote the whole song all by herself. lol.
Ughhh Letoya has no grace when she’s performing on stage…..I prefer to hear her album instead of watchin her live
sounds like a beyonce concert!! LOL
SHE SHOULD GO AND SIT DOWN,WHY NOT SING HER OWN SONG AND SHE DIDNT WRITE THE SONG SHE CO.WROTE……………….and all u b****** saying bey is not a song writer i will belive u when they take back her song writer of the year award lololol
u can can from morning till night bey doent write her song but the credit says otherwise …..*in my miss keri voice*CHECK THE CREDIT HOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I don’t think it was a bad idea for her to feature the songs that she actually sang on in her performance. Now, if she had sang “Survivor” or “Cater to You” – she would have got the side eye from me too. With that said, I don’t understand why any of the DC alumni are still playing these tracks in their shows because we have to hear it from Beyonce, Kelly, and now Letoya. After hearing the DC Medley a dozen time by 3 different people, it kind of loses its effect. I’m just sayin…
Maybe ya’ll can help me with this…but I don’t think she is leagelly allowed to sing Beyonce’s part…which is all more reason to just leave those songs alone…
Beydabess needs to be executed!
After reviewing my insert from the Writing’s on Wall album(in mint condition), LL has writing credits on most of the songs i.e. she gets royalty checks (still), a couple of grammy’s and can sing whatever she wants. The album has her (background) vocals on them. I think people are so use to seeing B they cant embrace change or the fact that DUH she was in the group (you all-knowing yet ignorant geniuses/fans). Shut the hell up, I’m glad LL is doing her thing. Its clear B has a passion for what she does. She was also blessed to have a father with the foresight, ambition and faith to produce and maintain a certifible LEGEND. Everybody cant be TINA WHITNEY or PATTI but we appeciate the Cece (Peniston), Brandy’s, Keisha’s etc…………..everybody/anybody who entertained and just made you feel so damn good
@ FG once again another i have to fix up on here.
Don’t comment on what you don’t know please it’s boring to down a person without checking your facts at least 1st.
LeToya performed several of her OWN songs at this concert. Torn, Obvious, Regret, Good To Me (Rmx Version), Lady Love and DC Med.
The only thing is that the DC medley was more for crowd Hype as Toy barely sung the songs bar the chorus.
Good To Me Remix clip sounded GREAT…
But anyway comment what you know, not what you think you know as it’s unfair to the artist.
Not saying you shouldn’t have an opinion, just have an accurate one whether it’s for or against.
{Side-note SAM u should post one of Monica’s performances from this concert as HER voice was on fire through EVERY SONG, though not sure i’m so keen on the key “Everything To Me” was sung in but she still ripped it up)
People wouldn’t give two rats ass if Kelly would have done this, who was also just singing background on these two songs, but when Letoya sings it, she has no right because she wasn’t in the group after this album. That’s crazy! Kelly sings Beyonce’s parts all the time when she does her medley, Hell if any of them sing any of DC’s songs they are going to have to sing Beyonce’s parst because she was the lead singer. But just because Kelly and Beyonce are still friends that means Kelly can do it? That’s Bull! Kelly not even signed to the same label as Bey anymore nor is Matthew still her manager.
I think that michelle williams needs to leave destinys child and them bring back LeToya
She co-wrote Say My Name so SANG IT GIRL!!!
GET YO PUNK A$$ OUTTA HERE YOU D@MN IMPOSTOR. SMDH
SMH @ BEY STANS LOL… SHE AINT GOING NO WHERE SO STOP WHINING!
Anyhoo, like everyone else says, she has every right to sing those songs, they are apart of her history, if beyonce and Kelly can do it, then why cant she? Thats not fair
Sam I usually agree with you but I disagree here, you listed Kellys DC Medley as one of the best live performances however she did all of B’S adllibs and her part in Independent Women… So something cant be ok for one person and not the other
That is Letoya’s past and she shouldnt have to feel like a step child and hide it, she put in all the work when they were young and clearly she wrote Say My Name and if theres any DC song you can hear her vocals on, its SAY MY NAME, which is the song that put DC on the map and made them a international success…
NOW… I will say, that the way she went about doing it was somewhat off, she should have come up with her own medley of like no,no,no… bills, bugaboo, and say my name, and just somehow kept the chorus’s and ad lib’d, that definitely could have worked for her!
But im glad to see he do this because it was her past and songs just as much as it was theirs!
LeToya could have easily held down the second verse in the original Say My Name, if they gave her the opportunity to sing lead! If you listen to WOTW album, its so many songs where Beyonce could have shared verses… Or they could have been sang by other members and it would have still sounded good.
TO ME:
She has the right to perform any Destiny’s Child song that she was a part of in the creative process and every song up until ‘The Writings On The Wall’ album, which to me is their breakout album, not ‘Survivor’
It would have been better for her to re-record a solo version and then sing that/along to it live, but maybe she doesn’t wanna do that and have people be like, “Why you hatin’ on Beyonce (and Kelly)”
She is and forever will be a part of DESTINY’S CHILD
Deal with it Sam or Trent whoever wrote this nonsense!

NOOO THIS IS QUITE HILARIOUS HOW SHE IS STANDING THERE MAKING THE AUDIENCE PERFORM!! iThink this is a #Fail LOL!
I don’t think she was using the songs for attention. The people at the concert knew who they were going to see. She sang plenty of her own solo songs, but she had a small segment to reminisce about her the old days when she was a teenager and making hits with Destiny’s Child. What’s wrong with that? Most people who are LeToya fans remember those old songs, still know the words and it wasn’t like she was trying to prove anything. She let the audience sing most of it, like she was just having fun. At least she is never bitter about her time in DC and never badmouths her former members. She’s always been grateful for it and she’s comfortable singing the songs. As others have said, I can see if she was singing songs from DC3. But she helped WRITE and sing Say My Name, for goodness’ sake, so why can’t she sing it if she wants? Michelle had no part in the creation or singing of the song, but she can lip it and sing parts of it when DC performs, and LeToya has far more of a right to perform it. She has had 2 Top 10 r&b hits so she’s proven herself solo.
Letoya is the besssssssssssssssssssssssst my girl ain’t no joke she went hard on her songs she wrote.
I give her a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++ love Toya always holding it down she doesn’t give a damn about a hater. Go Toya.
