Destiny's Child '00 TEEN PEOPLE Online chatted with Destiny's Child on May 12, 2000 Kelly Rowland: We have www.dc-unplugged.com. That's the official one. Destiny's Child has its very own website. The record company's site is at www.destinyschild.com. Question: How does it feel to be touring with someone as huge as Christina Aguilera? Are you guys a fan of hers? Kelly Rowland: We've loved her since she's come out. We're very excited about the tour. We've been coming up with a lot of creative ideas for the show, and this is our first time with a band, and also touring with Farrah and Michelle, so we're very excited. Question: Hi Destiny's Child - congratulations!! on your good work. I'd like to say that you guys are great role models for teenage girls today, you know what I'm sayin'? See, you all worked hard to be where you wanted to be and you have faith in God. Y'all bangin' - Frendy. Beyonce Knowles: Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Question: Is it hard to keep in touch with family and close friends that you went to school with before? Do you still keep in touch with them? Beyonce Knowles: The close ones understand that we can't call them as much as we used to. It is more difficult to see our family and friends. We only go home an average of six days -- not consecutively - a month. And that's a deal, because it used to be two! Kelly Rowland: But that goes to show that you have to work hard to get where you want to be. Question: Now that you've had some time to absorb your fame, do you think it's changed you? Both: Not at all. Beyonce Knowles: The great thing about Destiny's Child is that we have family on the road with us, so they check us if we ask for something ridiculous. They keep us grounded, and we keep each other grounded. We know that this can be taken away from us in a second, so we know to appreciate everything and be positive at all times. Question: Beyonce and Kelly.... I've met Rodney Jerkins before and he is a good guy. What was it like working with the hottest producer out there? Beyonce Knowles: Working with Rodney was a lot of fun. As a matter of fact, when we were recording "Say My Name" with him, he was in the studio with Michael Jackson also. We were going crazy begging him if we could go to his next session with Michael with him! We didn't meet up, but hopefully next time. Question: I just wanted to let you guys no that "Say My Name" is the best song in the world!!! Its one of my favorites on the CD, as well as "Jumpin, Jumpin"!!! So what is your next video going to be? I just wanted to say that you guys are the greatest!!! Beyonce Knowles: Thank you! "Jumpin, Jumpin" is the next video and we're recording it in two weeks. Question: Ladies I'm a HUGE Lakers fan........ What was it like working with Kobe Bryant? The remix is bangin'...... Much Love from southern cali.. Beyonce Knowles: Thank you! Working with Kobe was a great experience. We actually did a song on his album first then he did the remix on our album. He was a very nice guy, very talented, and I would say very cute, but I don't want to start any rumors! Question: Where do y'all get your outfits? Do you get them specially made? By the way you have the best fashion sense out there right now!! Beyonce Knowles: Thank you. That reeeeealy means a lot to us. Tina Knowles, my mother, is our stylist and we get all of our clothes custom-made. We help in some of the designing, but she does the majority. She bases each outfit on the individual, so we each have our own style, but we still look like a group. She will be working on a clothing line soon, so if you like our clothes, they'll be out in stores soon! HostTPZena: Wow, time has flown! Thanks so much for chatting with us, Beyonce and Kelly! Any parting words? Beyonce Knowles: We just want to thank all the fans for your continuous support. Thanks for accepting the new members and we ask you to support us on the Christina Aguilera tour and on the album, The Writing's On The Wall. Make sure you request the "Jumpin, Jumpin'" video on MTV's TRL! Kelly Rowland: Thank you and God bless everyone.
