Two teenage sisters from Los Angeles have got a chance of their lifetime after Beyoncé looked at their videos on YouTube and signed them on for a singing contract worth U.S. $1 million. The LA-based sisters Chloe Bailey, 17, and Halle Bailey, 15 were signed by Beyoncé company Parkwood Entertainment for a five year contract. In addition, Beyoncé also signed a third singer, 14-year-old Sophie Beem from New York.

Beem managed to get a U.S. $560,000 deal with Queen Bey after she wowed her company's executives with her sensational singing, The New York Post writes. The teenager has an interesting past as she was one of the top 40 contestants on “The X Factor” in 2012, added the website. Beyoncé asked a Manhattan judge to approve the five-year contracts of three singers as they were minors and did not have a signing authority.

Chloe and Halle were signed by Parkwood after Beyoncé’s manager saw their stupendous performance of “Pretty Hurts,” a Beyonce song from her last album “Beyonce.” The sisters posted the song on YouTube, where it has garnered great resposnse. Check out the video below. “We cannot think of a better person to help guide the girls,” their father Douglas is quoted as saying to the website.

The duo has an Instagram account together where they have 97.6 K followers (as of May 4) and keep updating the fans with their pictures. “Individually we are one drop, together we are an ocean,” says their Instagram description. The Bailey sisters have penned down several songs and have also acted in many films including “Meet the Browns,” “Last Holiday,” and “Let It Shine,” writes New York Daily News. The sisters have a contract to work on six albums over five years and in return Queen Bey will get 15 per cent of their earnings.

Meanwhile, Sophie's contract is a little different than the Bailey sisters as Beyoncé’s management believes that she is a little too young and is not “ready to begin recording music.” “Parkwood Music believes that “Sophie’s music will be best showcased with a band," the website cites court papers as saying.
