Whos Better Beyonce/Janet Jackson

Although Janet never wanted to be a professional singer, she obeyed her father's orders and participated in various family musical projects. Her first recording was a duet with brother Randy on a song titled Love Song for Kids in 1978. When Janet was fifteen, Joe launched her recording career by arranging a contract with A&M Records. Her debut album Janet Jackson was released in 1982. Produced by soul singers Angela Winbush, Ren Moore and noted producer Leon F. Sylvers III (who had previously worked with the The Whispers, Lakeside, Shalamar, Dynasty) of the famed Sylvers family music group, the album reached the top ten on the Billboard R&B albums chart, spent 45 weeks in that chart's top 50, and had moderate success on the Pop albums chart. Destiny's Child rose to fame in 1998 with the Billboard Hot 100 top five, R&B number-one single "No, No, No Part Even after much-publicized turmoil involving the departure of LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, Destiny's Child (eventually a trio) became one of the most successful R&B/pop acts of the early 2000s, charting four Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, several top ten hits, and two number-one albums.

Knowles is the elder of two daughters born to Mathew Knowles and Tina Beyin in Houston, Texas. Her parents decided on her first name as a tribute to her mother's maiden name.[5] Her maternal grandparents, Lumis (a seamstress), were French-speaking Louisiana Creoles.[5] She is the older sister of Solange Knowles, cousin to Angela -(her personal assistant and song co-writer), and aunt to Solange's son Daniel Julez Smith, Jr. By age seven, she was attending dance school and was a soloist in her church's choir. Her dance instructor took an interest in Knowles and took her star student to various competitions. Knowles went on to win over thirty local singing and dancing competitions. Knowles and her childhood best friends LaTavia Roberson and Kelly Rowland along with LeToya Luckett formed a quartet that would perform in their backyards and at Tina Knowles' hair salon. After singing at local events, they got their break when they entered Star Search.[6] The group, then named "Girl's Tyme",[7] were disappointed after losing the competition. Mathew Knowles, Knowles' father and Rowland's legal guardian, decided to help the girls reach their dreams of becoming singers. He quit his six-figure salary job as a multi-million dollar equipment salesman at Xerox to manage the group.[8] This decision by Mathew eventually affected the whole family. Their income had been cut in half, causing the family to move into two different apartments. When the group was signed to Columbia Records in 1996, it gave the entire family a second chance at making things work. As a teenager, Knowles attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, where she showed her musical talents. She later went to Alief Elsik High School, in the Alief neighborhood of Houston.
