Beyonce Giselle Knowles born on September 4, 1981, is an R&B singer, actress, lyricist, record producer, fashion designer and model. Knowles earned her fame from her R&B girl group Destiny's Child, the world's best-selling female group of all time.

After releasing several hit albums with the group, Knowles released her debut solo album Dangerously in Love in 2003. The album earned a huge commercial success, topping the album charts in the U.S. and the UK, generating the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy" which lead Knowles o five Grammy Awards in a single night in 2004. Her sophomore album, B'Day, was released worldwide on September 5, 2006, generating UK number-one singles "Deja Vu" and "Beautiful Liar", also U.S. near-top ten hit "Ring the Alarm", and the worldwide number-one hit "Irreplaceable".

In 1998 Destiny's Child gave away the Billboard top ten hit and R&B number-one single "No, No, No Part 2". Even after much- publicized mayhem involving the departure of LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, Destiny's Child became one of the most booming R&B/pop acts of the early 2000s, charting four Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, several top ten hits, and two number-one albums.

Platinum-selling debut album Destiny's Child (1998) was produced by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri and featured the double Platinum number-one single "No, No, No Part 2". The group's second album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999), featured two number-one hits: "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Say My Name". "Bug a Boo" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'" were also well-liked singles from the album. It sold around thirteen million copies worldwide and eight million in the U.S. Additionally, "Say My Name" won 2001 Grammy Awards for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals" and "Best R&B Song".

Beyonce also co-starred in the film Austin Powers in Goldmember, playing Foxxy Cleopatra opposite Mike Myers and Michael Caine and also recorded "Work It Out" for the film's soundtrack. It was her debut solo single and also her biggest commercial disappointment as it was a major flop. Knowles also featured in rapper Jay-Z's hit single, "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" (2002). She also resung a duet with Luther Vandross, "The Closer I Get to You", originally by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway and to their greatest satisfaction, earned a Grammy for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals". She recently teamed up with her J-Z, on his latest album, Kingdom Come, providing vocals for "Holiday". This song is also on B' Day exclusive Edition which was released on April 3, 2007. It features new tracks including "Beautiful Liar", which made a record by moving from #94 to #3. It also includes are Spanish-language versions of "Irreplaceable", "Listen", and "Beautiful Liar".

On April 2, videos for "Get Me Bodied", "Kitty Kat/Green Light", and "Suga Mama" premiered on BET to promote B'Day Anthology Video Album which was to be released the following day. Sony released all of the videos from the DVD on their official music video site - Music-box.

The exclusive Edition of "B'Day" also got released on April 16, 2007 in Australia, which in contrast to the US edition, comes packaged in a CD/DVD combo featuring 19 tracks on the CD, plus 12 music videos on the DVD. The Australian release does not feature the track "Still in Love (Kissing You)" on either the CD or DVD. However, the CD does feature tracks "If" and "Check on It" which are not featured on the US release. moreover, "World Wide Woman" appears as a hidden track on the US release while it is an officially listed track on the Australian disc. Finally, apart from the track "Amor Gitano", the Australian disc does not feature any Spanish tracks. The UK's B'Day edition is the same as the Australian release.

A lawsuit was filed on The exclusive Edition of B'Day and the Anthology Video album, including the song "Still In Love (Kissing You)" by British singer Des'ree. The lawsuit is over Beyonce's cover of Des'ree's "I'm Kissing You" which was granted permission ? within certain limits i.e., they would allow use of the song, but not in video form. And also that they would allow use of the song only if the title was not changed. On March 27, according to the complaint, it was revealed that Beyonce and her record label planned to proceed with their plans to include the song on the re-release, changing the title to the song and made a video against the copyrighted laws. In a letter they wrote to Beyonce's lawyer and her distribution group Sony, the Royalty Network called the move "completely unacceptable". Des'ree is apparently seeking $150,000 in damages."

In 2007, Knowles went on The Beyonce Experience concert tour which sold out various shows worldwide and is expected to have Robin Thicke, Lemar (Europe Only), and Chris Brown (Australia Only) as her opening acts. She will tour from the beginning of the spring of 2007 to the end of the summer of 2007.

Knowles will release a live album from The Beyonce Experience Tour after its completion.
