As for the breakup, no surprise here. With all groups, one person usually shines, and while everyone compares them to the Supremes, IMO, Beyonce lacks that intangible that Diana has, plus the musicworld of today is so weak and repetitive, Bee can easily get to the top. It was interesting how they had Kelly announce the breakup (couldn't have Bee do it, she may not have been able to hide her glee). As for Michelle, she will go back to gospel albums....she should really thank God that she got to ride the gravy train for this long, because her voice is annoying.......
Will Bee become a lasting star, an icon, ala Diana? We will wait and see, but given her present body of work, I doubt it.
