Synopsis: It's hard to believe that Texas-born Beyonce Giselle Knowles took singing and dancing lessons as a child to overcome shyness. But her natural talent shined early. By seven, she was winning competitions and, at 15, she formed Destiny's Child with best friend Kelly Rowland. The duo quickly earned a recording contract (later becoming a trio with the addition of Michelle Williams), ultimately becoming the biggest-selling girl group of all time.
