Knowles told us at one point there were 11 members in the group, including a male rapper. They would eventually become a trio, with lasting members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé. The group released their last album in 2004, and have since focused on their solo careers. Knowles told us one of the things that made the act a global success was, “practicing failure.” Unbeknownst to the group, management would intentionally set the girls up for glitches as they rehearsed stage shows. “They didn’t know when the lights were going to go off, when the sound would go off, or a heel might break. All the things that could happen. We practiced that,” he said. “It was all planned by management,” he added.The intention was to set the girls up to be prepared for the unknown at all times. “They didn’t know once they got on the stage, that the sound was going to get muted at a certain point. We did that, so they wouldn’t panic,” he said.He said the singers would have a song ready to go acapella, just in case. The sneaky tactic even came in handy on slippery stages. For example, during Michelle Williams viral slip on BET’s “106th and Park,” “They were prepared and they almost made a routine out of it.” He added, ” You can also see that happen with Beyoncé and Solange during a Beyoncé performance, when Solange slipped, and then they made a routine of it. Those things you practice when you’re the very best.”Jenna Lyons swears by this $10 foundation that ‘melts into your skin’: ‘Actually love this stuff’Joanna Gaines ‘can’t get enough’ of this cozy blanket that ‘makes you instantly relax’ This star-loved skincare brand’s new anti-aging eye cream is its most advanced yet — and we’ve got an exclusive discountZach Bryan eviscerates ex Brianna Chickenfry -- while praising wife Samantha Leonard -- in scathing new lyricsJenna Lyons swears by this $10 foundation that ‘melts into your skin’: ‘Actually love this stuff’AFI Awards 2026 red carpet: Ariana Grande, Emma Stone and more celebrity outfitsThis star-loved skincare brand’s new anti-aging eye cream is its most advanced yet — and we’ve got an exclusive discount
