‘R&B Diva’: LaTavia Roberson Responds To Beyonce “Second Lead Singer” Video

‘Bossip’ had the pleasure of meeting LaTavia Roberson recently, meeting the ‘R&B Divas: Atlanta’ star to dish on her hotly anticipated comeback and her starring role on the Reality TV show.

Of course, as is often the case with Destiny’s former Children, her time with the outlet saw Beyonce thrown into the mix when Roberson was quizzed on claims that the ‘Tell Me’ singers were subject to “shade” thrown at them by their leader.

What she had to say on the matter?

Watch below!

Unfortunately, though it shouldn’t have been, the group’s legacy  finds itself a little tarnished by clips like the now viral “Second Lead Singer.”

For, as any who lived through the group’s run can attest to, the impression many now have of the group is wholly inaccurate, with most under the impression that Michelle Williams stood as an awkward third wheel, and Beyonce being a shade-throwing villain ever ready to mock or ridicule her ‘doo-wop’ singing minions.

In fact, unlike any other girl group in recent history, each and every member of the quartet turned trio being just as competent as the other, even if they lacked Carter‘s mic-shattering vocal chops.

Unfortunate, as one wonders how many more solo success stories Mathew Knowles could have penned had each lady been given the marketing dollars pumped into Brand Beyonce to secure her seat Pop’s high table, while poor management and after-thought approach to the likes of Kelly & Michelle saw them look on and applaud her from the sidelines.

Your thoughts?

    Beyonce’s vocals are mic shattering? You gays over praise this h** she is not a vocal powerhouse like Whitney and mariah… And in today’s music kelly clarkson, Adele, and monica would mop the floor with bey vocally. That’s is all, good day!

    • beyugly May 21, 2014

      Kiiii

    • Some people need to stop May 31, 2014

      @Kayla, girl you need to stop it. You sound like you have been bit by the green eyed monster. There is no need for you to call Bey out of her name and we all know she is not a h**. Beyonce’ vocal are ten times better than Kelly Clarkson, Adele, and Monica. Kelly Clarkson latest album was released in Oct 2013, Adele, and Monica have not released an album in a minute. Monica is a R&B singer, so her and Bey are not in the same category of music. Clarkson, Adele, and Monica may be mopping a floor, but they are not on the level that Bey is and I want to see Clarkson, Adele, and Monica to drop an unexpected album like Bey did with the Beyonce’ album. I bet it will not come close to the number of sells as Bey’s.You cannot compare her to Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey because they sing R&B, while Bey falls in the Pop category. That is all you have a wonderful day!!

        What are you talking about? Mariah and whitney are more pop than beyonce. in fact, many of WH and MC biggest hits are pop classics (I wanna dance with somebody, vision of love). Theyre genres are listed as POP/R&B while beyonce has routinely put out R&B hip hop and she is listed as an R&B/Hip hop artist. Also, what does musical genre have to do with vocal ability? Kelly clarkson is a better vocalist than Beyonce and she cannot compare to WH or MC not because of genre differences but because they are sim ply better singers than Beyonce.

    • Mark111 May 21, 2014

    SHE HAS FACE!!

    Thank God for the internet because somewhere in my mind after they fired Matthew I just knew LaTavia was just a total jealous beeyatch but she’s actually cool and sassy.

    I think all those girls (except Farrah) should just be glad and feel blessed of being part of one of the best girl groups of all time. I’m glad she’s moving on with her life.
