Born on September 4, 1981, to a loving family in Houston, Texas, Beyonce Giselle Knowles showed an aptitude for music before she could even talk. As a young girl, she would drown out everyone, including the choir, on Sundays at church. Every weekend, she tuned her voice by doing soulful hymns with the congregation and then moved on to opera classes, in which she was classically trained.
Why Is She Famous?
The central figure for R&B group Destiny's Child, Beyonce was the talent behind such smash hits as "Say My Name," "No, No, No" and "Independent Women." Venturing out on her own, it was no surprise that her debut solo album, 2003's Dangerously In Love, garnered her five Grammy Awards in a single night. Of course, Beyonce also acts; you can see her foxy self in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), The Fighting Temptations (2003), The Pink Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), Cadillac Records (2008), and Obsessed (2009).
Success
Beyonce is absolutely mesmerizing and, thankfully, loves to show it all off in the naughtiest of costumes. We love that in a relatively short time, she has become an icon: Releasing numerous hit songs, acting in big-time films and being ever-present in the media and on stage. She is certainly an influential powerhouse in her own right.
Unlike other pop stars, Beyonce maintains credibility with a great set of pipes and original songwriting. Her crossover into acting has shown promise and ensures that her time in the spotlight will not be short. This is a good sign, seeing as our Beyonce dreams have become all too frequent nowadays.
Sexiness
This goddess possesses almost every great feature imaginable; one can stare awestruck at her angelic face, dangerously curvaceous body, booty that goes on for days, and her long, shapely legs. Greatest of all is that Beyonce knows how to work it, wearing clothing that complements her curves and dancing in her videos as if she knew just what men wanted to see. For this, she was voted AskMen.com's No. 1 Most Desirable Woman in 2007. In the past she has said: ''I'm very conscious of being a curvy woman, and I’m very happy that I am a curvy woman.'' That's what we like to hear.
Quotes
"There are certain things that are kind of obvious, and if you start talking, the questions will never stop. I think there’s more to life than sharing it with everyone... At school, if I dated someone, I didn’t tell everyone. I feel like if everyone knows my stuff, it’ll take the beauty and pureness out of it."
