Some thought it would never happen, but after solo successes and a three-year hiatus the ladies of Destiny's Child have reunited for the eagerly-anticipated Destiny Fulfilled. The Houston-based trio of Kelly, Michelle and some girl named Beyonce follow up their mega successful Survivor with another album full of infectious dance grooves and melancholy tales of women done wrong. Lead single "Lose My Breath" is their first offering of the former. Backed by a kinetic marching band sample, they sing with an urgency that bolsters the Rodney Jerkins-produced track. Current single "Soldier" is more of the same. Featuring T.I. and Lil' Wayne, the song allows the trio to sing the praises of the kind of men they like.Despite this one-two uptempo punch, DC does do ballads. They go old-school on the moving "If." Michelle, who has several impressive solos throughout, and Beyonce trade lines about finding and holding on to love. However, on "Bad Habit" the trio goes for the paint-by-numbers woman finding her inner-strength theme. Other highlights include the 9th Wonder and Beyonce-produced "Girl" and the midtempo gem "Free." --Rashaun Hall

Sometimes on, sometimes off.......2006-11-22
It's...Ok .......2006-10-30
Very Entertaining.......2006-10-27
1.Lose my breath - When this song was released as a single, I didn't really like it but it grew on me since then. I like the marching band sounds in it.
2. Solder feat TI and Lil Wayne - This song is hot. I bought this single from itunes before I had the album. Love it.
3. Cater 2 u - A great love song for a woman to dedicate to her man. I bought this single from itunes before I had the album. Love it.
4. T-shirt - Another sweet, sexy love song - like it. Very sexual
5. Is she the reason - I love this song - I love the tune.
6. Girl - This is a 'supportive of my sistas' song. Very affirming and positive. Promotes sisterhood and friendship.
7. Bad Habit - This is a song about ending the cycle of breaking up and getting back together. It's another great song.
8. If - This is different but good. It's about a cheating man.
9. Free - This is about the freedom you feel when you leave behind a bad relationship. I like the positive vibe of this song.
10.Through with love - I LOVE this song. I love how it sounds. This is one of the best of the unreleased singles off of this album.
11. Love - This is a song about finding love with someone. It's beautiful and a good conclusion to the album.

Destiny's Child began in 1990 as a novelty act aimed at teenagers. But they exceeded all expectations, both commercially and artistically, becoming a platinum-selling, multi-Grammy-winning sensation and attracting fans from all age groups and backgrounds with their dulcet, feisty-fresh harmonies and message of sisterly solidarity delivered with plenty of keep-it-real and love-over-all. Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams -- LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett left early on -- have broken ranks to devote themselves to their individual careers so the end of an era has been accomplished. But this collection is a bonanza for new fans and completists, capturing the band's chart-toppers in one place, augmented by Stand Up For Love plus a pair of pleasant but unessential other new tunes. The Dual-Disc B-Side contains a selection of videos, each of which display the ladies at their show-stopping, luscious best. It feels odd to think of this band in the past tense, so even while celebrating their past achievements, let's hope that they will continue to reunite whenever the spirit moves and for years to come. --Christina RodenCustomer Reviews:
A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.......2007-05-07
OK NOT MY FAVORITE.......2007-05-07
Destiny Fullfilled Indeed.......2007-02-06
Destiny's Child has the best R&B music from the late 90'-early 00's, and this D proves i. Hot beats, catchy hooks, d beatiful voices, this C is FULL of them. An the ballads are very nice.
A lot of the songs are in edited form, so they could fit all the singles on one CD (except for "With Me", their secdon single that made no impact). Also three new songs are included.
This CD is TOP-NOTCH, and I easily recommend this to R&B and pop fans.

#1's, A Great Collection .......2006-11-04
I can say that even the people who are not a big fan of Destiny's Child and was not used to buying their albums until now, but like the rythims and the songs played by them, will be very satisfied when they listen this album carefully.
First, it is a collection of the songs from all the albums, since destiny's child until Destiny Fulfilled.
Second, there are three new songs. One was named as the 2005 World Children's Day Anthem , Stand up for Love. The other one is in the soundtrack of the Pink Panther movie, played by Beyoncé Knowles & Steve Martin, Check On It. And the third song is Feel The Same Way I Do.
Talking about the wonderful DualDisc, it contains 7 video clips of Destiny's Child and the Teaser of the Concert Destiny's Child Live in Atlanta.
So, It is impossible a person listen to it and don't like it.

Not even Dionne Warwick and her mind-reading friends could have predicted that, over the course of two CDs, Destiny's Child would become one of the most successful girl groups on the planet. But successful this Houston trio is, and their sophomore CD shows why. Yes, the lineup changes as often as lead singer Beyoncé's hairstyle, but fun, disposable pop/R&B needn't be rooted in permanence, and DC is mad fun and mad catchy to boot. With the assistance of hitmakers Shek'spere and Kandi Burruss, Destiny's Child trade in effervescent, hip-shaking, finger-wagging, 'you-go-girl, kick-him-to-the-curb' anthems. The Writing's on the Wall is loaded with tracks like "Bills, Bills, Bills," which are suitable both for dancing and as topics on the Ricki Lake Show. The percolating "Bug A Boo" is irresistible, as is the sassy "So Good." To their credit, the girls can slow the pace down, and on the sultry "Temptation" they get to work their considerable chops to nice effect. But as sales and chart figures have shown, Destiny's Child are at their best when they are laying down the law to some trifling man, and/or working their own groove thang. Work it they do on this somewhat formulaic but ultimately irresistible effort. --Amy LindenCustomer Reviews:

This album was primarily based on the do's and don't of relationships. These women covered everything from cheating, to paying bills, bugging your mate to death, jumpin' off in the club, giving into temptation, confessions on infidelity, and so much more. There was so much substance to the album that it put Destiny's Child on the map, unfortunately we saw roster changes for 8 months straight (but that didn't stop their reign, it only made them stronger....hence "Survivor"..)
Standout tracks: Confessions, Temptation, So Good, If You Leave Her, Say My Name, and Hey Ladies. Phenomenal work!

One listen to the eagerly anticipated third CD from the world's biggest girl group and it's clear there is one child with the most destiny. To paraphrase the hip-hop legends, "Who's house?" Beyoncé's house, and with the lead vocalist producing or cowriting all of the 14 tracks, it's hard to imagine what those other two chicks even do (other than act grateful to still have a gig). Seizing creative control is a bold move for Miss Knowles, and anytime an R&B act eschews the beat of the week, they have to be commended. But the problem is that Beyoncé, even with her ambition, has yet to suss out that the key to a pop-R&B smash is hook and melody. With the exception of the now-played-out title track (Can we all take a moratorium on this mighty goddess theme for a second, please?) and the equally you-go-girlish "Independent Woman Part 1," most of the tracks here lack a strong core. Beyoncé crams a litany of thoughts and motifs into her mini-anthems, with samples ranging from Stevie Nicks to Tarzan Boy, but though the cuts sizzle and sparkle and throw off much attitude, Survivor is way too frenetic. Even with some strong singing and songs (most notably the laid back "Fancy"), Survivor lacks real emotion. --Amy LindenCustomer Reviews:

Destiny's Child Still Surviving.......2006-07-26
The songs that were released as singles were all amazing. "Independant Women" was a great release and appeared on a major movie soundtrack, Charlie's Angels. The song "Survivor" took the world by storm, I must have listened to it a thousand times in one week it was so good. "Bootylicous" was a great song to sing along with, it just made me want to hear more and more Destiny's Child.
There are a couple of songs that just never got through to me, but that's common on most albums. But that's probably just me, because I am mostly into more upbeat songs, and a couple of them weren't. But the overall the album was great, Destiny's Child really got down with the songs on this CD. I found some really great songs such as "Nasty Girl" and "Fancy". I'm glad I bought this album, it turned out to impress me.
The writing really is on the wall........2006-07-15
You can't screw with chemistry. The first lineup had it. This one didn't. Now they're over. And the world sighs with relief that the fakeness and pretend love and togetherness no longer has to be witnessed.
Now to be fair, half the cd ranges from tolerable to good. The other half is obvious filler. The album as a whole is over-produced and lacks soul that rhythm and blues is supposed to epitomize, therefore it must not be r&b afterall. But this is no real revelation.

Irresistible.......2006-01-25
This CD is all the casual fan of Destiny's Child will need, but gets four stars from me instead of 5 for that awful first cut, a schlockfest that never catches fire. After that it is pretty smooth sailing--but there are potholes--"Emotion" does not match the shimmery Bee Gees production of the original, and the last two tracks--"Cater 2 U" and another new cut should really not have made the cut. Another major annoyance to me is the ease with which two original members were cut from the lineup never again to be refered to. There are three faces on the cover, but a couple more were a part (albeit minor) of their early success, and should at least have been given a couple of interior photos.
Aside from the above criticisms, though, the album is really quite rewarding. Of course, comparisons to the Supremes are inevitable, and Beyonce Knowles would be wise to remember the ups and downs of Diana Ross' solo career. It is Beyonce's voice, above all, that helped Destiny's Child rise above the masses of pop groups and become inescapable. While Kelly (especially) and Michelle may have a few more successful years in them, Beyonce will reign supreme over pop music for a long time, if she continues to make good choices.

Now, don't get me wrong here: this album is awesome, but I wouldn't recommend this disc as a first-time purchase of DC music. Before bying this, I would advise trying one of their actual albums first, because some of their songs never played on the radio have a very different sound than their polished, commercial hits. Whichever path you take, though, you will be certain to find the beautiful vocals, gorgeous harmonies, and clever lyrics that have made these ladies top the charts time and time again. Goodbye DC!

This Is the Remix shows just why Destiny's Child is such a powerhouse: they have wicked songs that can survive almost any treatment. Not that the selections, culled from the group's three preceding albums, are mishandled here. The Neptunes aren't quite at the top of their game on "Emotion," but Timbaland's sexy remix of "Say My Name" is one of the best things he's done--and that's saying a lot. Despite too many rap interludes, the CD ends on a high note with feverish Maurice Joshua mixes of "Jumpin', Jumpin'," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "So Good" that are simply fantastic dance-floor burners. The one misstep is the tucked-away "Heard a Word," a track from Michelle Williams's solo album. Still, this is state-of-the-art mainstream R&B designed to tide fans over until the triumvirate goes back to the studio together. --Elisabeth VincentelliCustomer Reviews:
This is the remix!.......2007-07-06
As a fan, I bought almost every maxi-single they ever came out with and I played them out. When Destiny's Child did remixes, they did them all the way. They re-recorded vocals, wrote new lyrics, and in the case of the Timbaland Remix of "Say My Name," they would create a completely different song. So when I heard they were coming out with a remix album, I was ecstatic.
Even though I already have most of these remixes (and even a few album tracks) on CD already, I'm glad that they compiled the best on one disc. And the amazing Neptunes Remix of "Emotions" was worth the purhcase alone for me. This remix album is an overall enjoyable experience and I still listen to it all of the time.

Great remixes but missing something.......2004-11-03
Excellent but needs more...........2004-10-29
dont get me wrong.. this is one of my favourites by DC3...
my favourite song on here is "dot" the original was not that appealing at all until i heard the remix... this song is a constant in my cd changer in the car...
other car bangers "emotions" (neptunes), "bug-a-boo" (refugee remix) "no, no, no" (extended) w/ wyclef and "jumpin jumpin" (so so def).
I am not feelin the 'survivor' (extended) because 1. not extended at all, 2. da brat is not rapping as good in it, and 3. michelle's part is cut out of it (her part in 'survivor' is the best in the whole song). also, the 'so good' is not all that great. 'independent woman pt. 2' is the worst song DC has ever put out.
overall this cd is alright but most of the remixes are great, and most of all of them suck...

Chilly, forced, and overdone, this mixed bag of modern classics, tarted-up traditional carols, and trio of tunes penned by Beyonce Knowles doesn't conjure a single warm and fuzzy image of chestnuts roasting on an open fire or Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Rather, it's just another forum to showcase the band's Gucci bag of vocal gymnastics and crass materialism. The Texas trio takes seasonal classics like Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," "Silent Night," and "Little Drummer Boy" and embellishes them with their own trills and off-kilter harmonies, obscuring the songs' simple beauty. "On the eighth day of Christmas, my baby gave to me a pair of Chloe shades and a diamond belly ring," brags Knowles in the title song, a takeoff on the "12 Days of Christmas," without ever explaining why they lopped off four days. The band is shamelessly self-indulgent throughout the dozen songs found here, taking untold liberties, like renaming "Carol of the Bells" "Opera Bells" and recasting "Silver Bells" as "Platinum Bells" to reflect their multiplatinum status. But the low point of the record is when Destiny's Child hawk their Hasbro-manufactured dolls in the intro of "Platinum Bells": "Ladies, remember long ago we asked Santa to give us Christmas dolls? This year the dolls are you and me under the tree." Humbug. --Jaan UhelszkiCustomer Reviews:

Hope these '8 days' go by pretty fast.......2006-11-03
Destiny's Child attempts to take traditional Christmas carols and make a modern, fan-geared holiday album. And, sorry to say, but it just doesn't work here.
The album opens with the title track, which I'll admit is a catchy spin off of the original "12 Days of Christmas." But the lyrics are ridiculous. Example: "On the eighth day of Christmas my baby gave to me/A pair of Chloe shades and a diamond belly ring."
The next track, "Winter Paradise" is the best of the original tracks on the disc. It's a more moderate R&B number that talks about Christmas memories. It's pretty good. But, "Spread a little love on Christmas" is about on the same level as the title track, but it focuses on all the other holidays going on at Christmas.
The girls DO get a few things right. The ridiculously-titled "Opera of the Bells" (featured on the Victoria's Secret holiday commercial) is a slowed-down version of "Carol of the Bells," complete with nice harmonies that are actually quite enjoyable. "This Christmas" is also complete with tight harmonies that give it an enjoyable spin and make it almost unrecognizable. "A DC Christmas Medley" is a fun assortment of kid's Christmas carols, such as "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Frosty," and "Holly, Jolly Christmas." And the best track on the disc, "Do You Hear what I Hear," is a wonderfully original take on the classic that doesn't wander too far from the original sound of it.
However, the album also takes a turn for the worst in a few places. "Platinum Bells" is a ludicrous cover of "Siver Bells" that talks about the group's success (platinum albums). And the cover of "The Little Drummer Boy" is absolutely laughable. The girls don't even get the story right! ("And then he smiled at me/the little drummer boy smiled at me" -- correction... baby Jesus smiled at you, and YOU ARE the little drummer boy!)
Download the few good tunes off this album from I-tunes and save yourself the money of every single song on here. Trust me, buying the whole CD is not worth it.
Best Song: "Do You Hear What I Hear" (great original take, true to classic song)
The good:
"Winter Paradise" (enjoyable, laid-back original with good harmonies)
"This Christmas" (a different take, very original)
"A DC Christmas Medley" (it's fun)
"Opera of the Bells" (nice harmonies)
The OK:
"Silent Night" (pretty good, but Beyonce oversings it)
"8 Days of Christmas" (catchy, but with stupid lyrics)
"Spread a Little Love on Christmas" (ditto)
The bad:
"The Little Drummer Boy" (at least get the story right)
"White Christmas" (I don't like their version of this)
"Platinum Bells" (too stupid to even laugh at... worst track on the album)
"O Holy Night" (I'm very critical of covers of this song because it's my favorite Christmas tune and Michelle's voice just doesn't fit it)

I am a survivor.......2005-10-30
The bonus tracks are amazing too: "Perfect man", "My heart still beats" and "Dance with you", but as always Beyonce wanted being the attention center, specially on "My herat still beats" and "Dangerously in love"
Anyway, this good, buy it.
extra tracks is good too . . ........2001-05-13
-DANCE WITH ME: nice fun beat wit a great chorus and possibly better then some of the songs they included in the american version of "survivor."
-PERFECT MAN: you can also catch this one on the "romeo must die" soundtrack. great beat, nice and exteremely catchy chorus and infectious and spacey dance elements. this is basically has the same theme as "apple pie a la mode" but a little more funkier.
-MY HEART STILL BEATS: nice ballad and chorus. if u love "emotion" off of "survivor" and, like me, wish that destiny's child would do more to expand their vocal talents, then this song is for you.
these three songs are all worthy of being on the american release of "survivor" but for some reason, americans will never have much access to b-sides . . . only get this if u LOVE destiny's child and don't mind paying a little extra for a quality import.
