Beyonce And Her Group Destiny's Child Was Underestimated For Success By Their Record Label, Reveals Their Longtime Publicist In New Interview
Beyonce and her all girl pop group Destiny's Child was extremely underestimated by their record label, reveals Yvette Noel-Schure, their longtime publicist in her latest interview. Yvette however had a firm belief in the capabilities of Beyoncé, Kelly, LaTavia and LaToya the moment she was hired to train them on make up and presentation skills.
Yvette, who had previously worked with the likes of Prince and Mariah Carey recalls the first time she met the girls for their make-up and hair styling lessons. The girls were guided by Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles who had made them almost an expert in fashion and beauty lessons.
"I sat down with them [Destiny's Child] and did makeup lessons but they were pretty advanced in terms of beauty because Ms. Tina Knowles was such a central figure in the lives of the girls of Destiny's Child," reveals Yvette in her interview with The Jake Sasseville Show.
The girls not only had complete knowledge about how exactly they wanted to look but were also very talented, revealed Yvette. She saw a huge potential in them and desperately wanted to be their "teacher, a guide and a mentor" who would guide them with the basics of conducting themselves in public and preparing for interviews, among other things. The girls faced competition from two groups at that time namely TLC and En Vogue, revealed Noel-Schure in the interview. But it was just a matter of time before they dominated the music scene.
Noel-Schure, who is still working with Beyonce as her publicist, says that she always instilled the group with the importance of family values and believes that the "Sasha Fierce" singer also appreciated her for that.
"One of the things I know that Beyoncé probably appreciates about me, especially now that she has created her own family... is that I always said to the girls, at the end of everything, 'I'm going home to my babies,'" revealed Noel-Schure adding that the girls would later encourage her to do so after she had a tiring day with the press and interviews. The phrase "I'm going home to my babies" was used to signify the end of day for them. The girls were brought up to learn one fact that no matter how much work you do, at the end of day one always goes back to their families and kids.
