YMMV / Destiny's Child

• Bizarro Episode: Independent Woman Part 2, which at least one critic described as being produced by MF DOOM.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: To more than a few people, after the Destiny's Child reunion at the Super Bowl, Kelly became one. Quite a few said, "Beyonce was going to do well, that was expected, but damn, Kelly was awesome." It was also Kelly who was the first to get a US number one single on her own.
• Growing the Beard: "Say My Name" is regarded as Destiny's Child settling into their groove and finding their sound.
• Harsher in Hindsight: "Bills, Bills, Bills" being the group's breakthrough hit, considering LeToya and LaTavia would get fired due to disputes over money.
• More Popular Replacement: LeToya and LaTavia aren't as remembered as their successor Michelle - who although is touted as the Lesser Star by some and did compare herself to the others when she first joined - is considered an iconic part of the group with Beyonce and Kelly.
• Older Than They Think: The word 'bootylicious' had previously been used by Snoop Dogg in his collaboration with Dr Dre "Dre Day" - nine years before the Destiny's Child song was released. It was however the latter's popularity that led to it entering the lexicon.
• Sampled Up: The guitar backing of Stevie Nicks's "Edge of Seventeen" taken for Bootylicious.
• Signature Song: "Say My Name", though you could make an argument for "Surivor" and "Bootylicious".
• Special Effect Failure: In the remix of "Bootylicious", the eponymous belt on Beyonce's waist is misspelled with the "U" before the "O".
• Testosterone Brigade: Considering how Beyonce became a sex symbol, it's safe to say that the girls attracted plenty of male fans.
• Theiss Titillation Theory: That sort-of top that Beyoncé wore in the video for "Soldier" looked like a Wardrobe Malfunction waiting to happen.
• Values Dissonance: If you listen to it closely, "Nasty Girl" is 3:33 of the girls Slut-Shaming the titular "girl" for... daring to wear more revealing clothing, being flirtatious with men and enjoying their sexuality. The music video is even worse, with scenes of women being publicly humiliated while Kelly, Michelle and Beyonce sit on a couch and mock them, and received backlash for it's anti-feminist themes in the early 2020s.
