“Say My Name”—Destiny’s Child
Rob looks back at the many times ‘Star Search’ failed to select musical stars who went on to be music icons. Don’t worry, he still finds plenty of time to give both Destiny’s Child and a young, pre-megastardom Beyoncé their flowers. Later, Rob is joined by the host of ‘Making Beyoncé,’ Jill Hopkins, to further discuss Destiny’s Child as both a buzzing ’90s R&B group and a stepping stone to Beyoncé’s pop culture domination.
