  • The Authority On All Things R&B
    On this week's episode of R&B Money, Tank and J Valentine are joined by singer/actress/designer LeToya Luckett. They will discuss what it was like training to be a founding member of what became Destiny's Child. LeToya will talk about her experience in performance bootcamp, being prepped to perform at anytime, in front of anybody. Her eventual transition into being a solo artist and overcoming fears of inadequacy and simply not having the group by her side on-stage, to tails from some of the roles she has played, including a serious moment between her and Tank during a take of The Preacher's Kid. Listen and Enjoy!

    It’s always been bittersweet for me to see LeToya. I’m probably gonna always think about how this woman could’ve had two or three more DC albums after The Writing’s On The Wall and I *hated* to see my favorite group fall apart. But then I’m truly happy to see LeToya succeed with solo albums and as an actress. I still could enjoy DC after she left, but it was *never* the same. But again, it’s amazing to see her out there always working and thriving.

And, I love Sis's style. She needs her own clothing line, NOW; however, I'll continue to support her collaboration with J. Bolin until then.

    I remember being 13 years old and her video of "Torn" premiered on 106 & Park. And as I'm watching the video, in my mind I thought she was a brand new artist out of nowhere. Then about a month or two later, I learned that she was the original member of Destiny's Child. How I learned was when I was watching the "With Me" video for the very first time ever on Music Yahoo and as they did a slideshow introduction of who they were and her part came up and I saw her name and I was like, "LeToya??? Wait a minute, that's the same girl who sang that Torn song! That's tight!"

    First, Letoya looks so purrty. Very happy for her. I felt her sadness when she talked about her insecurity being created while in DC. The same with LaTavia. That whole experience brought alot of scars to probably all of them. However, God blessed Letoya with a gift of acting that not everyone has. See how He works. Coming from where she started and the whole world watching, what she has done in the entertainment world is truly remarkable. Hope she knows that.😊

    I agree with Tank...and I agree that LeToya is underrated and missing as well. I think with the right team in the studio and the right songs, LeToya would REintroduce herself, shock the world and make a new name for herself. I think, in my personal opinion, that the DC situation and Beyonce in the forefront and blowing up, overshadowed LeToya and the other members where it definitely intimated and effected their confidence. But I think their individual voices speak for themselves and just didn't have the opportunity to shine like they should have.

    Her split from DC rebirthed her in a way that she wouldn't have grown had she stayed. She found HER voice again. She was able to show the world that she was more than Beyonce's backup; that she is a talented force in her own right. I feel that she actually excels past her former group member in the acting arena. As well as her personality SHINES positively in interviews...she doesn't come off as forced & rehearsed.
    The dynamic between the three of these people is amazing and they should consider bringing her on as a host or fill in host.
