Beyonce Knowles




One of my favorite artists of all time is Beyonce Knowles.  She is an extremely talented singer, dancer and actress.  Beyonce first began her music career with the group Destiny’s Child at the young age of 16 and quickly became one of the best-selling girls groups of all time.  In 2003 she released her first solo album which in my opinion was the best possible move for Beyonce.  From then on she was a well-established idolized woman.  In 2006 Beyonce starred in the movie Dreamgirls and  Pink Panther.  Both were successful films.  I find Beyonce inspiring because she is modest, hard working, and sings about things that are important to her and that can reach out to her audience.  So far in her career Beyonce has won 17 Grammy Awards and has sold over 118 million records as a solo artist.  She is one of the best selling artists of all time.  Although Beyonce has all of the fame and fortune one could dream of she seems to be a modest and hardworking person and to me that is very admirable.  She loves her family, and divides her personal life from her “celebrity” life which is not often seen these days.

This site includes all the information you could want about Beyonces life.  It includes facts about her childhood, her solo singing career and her days back in Destiny's Child.  I find this website extremely helpful when you want to look up a fact about Beyonce and where she has come from.

This is Beyonce's personal website.  On this website you can find pictures, past albums, information about her tour, and information about some of the charities that Beyonce is involved in.  This website can keep you up to date on most information that is happening with Beyonce's career.  Another more personal aspect of this website is her Blog that she posts to.  On her blog she talks about films, songs, food, people, places and fashions that inspire her.

This website includes pictures and videos of Beyonce.  Another feature that I like about this website is that it shows all of the songs that Beyonce has had in different movie soundtracks.  It also outlines her acting career and what movies she has starred in.
