About this ebook

The first comprehensive biography ever published about America's favorite living pop icon, Beyonce, from New York Times bestselling biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli.

Beyonce Knowles is a woman who began her career at the age of eight performing in pageant shows and talent contests, honing her craft through her teenage years until, at the age of 16, she had her first number one record with Destiny's Child. That hit-making trio launched Beyonce's successful solo career, catapulting her, as of 2014, to #1 on Forbes annual list of most wealthy celebrities--the same year she made the cover of Time. Becoming Beyonce is not only the story of struggle, sacrifice, and what it takes to make it in the cut-throat record industry, it's the story of the great rewards of such success and the devastating toll it often takes on the human spirit.

Ratings and reviews

Are you advertising here Beyonce? Screw you I will too. HI, BILLY MAYS HERE WITH ANOTHER FANTASTIC PRODUCT, TODAY WE'RE SABOTAGING BEYONCE'S CHANCE OF BECOMING POPULAR, SCRUB. AS IN MY NEW AND FANTASTIC OXY CLEEN SCRUB, CLEANS ALL THOSE NASTY CRACKS. EVEN THIS LOSER'S MOUTH CRACK. I liked the book.

Excellent book and very well written. I hate when you see an article that states they read a book so you don't have to. I saw that posted online about this book and the site complained about the elevator incident. Beyonce's life is most definitely not defined by that and this book covers everything. Even if you are not a fan of her music, this book is so much more than that.

If I had a paper back of this I would burn it! Just like the thugs she supports
