This video runs through beyonces child hood and teen years. Showing how she develops as a child singer through to being part of the 'Girl Tyme' act and then preceding into the top hit group destiny's child.

In 2004, after launching a successful solo career with 'Dangerously in Love', Knowles won five Grammy Awards, tying a record for most wins by a female artist.
Her second solo effort, 'B'Day', was released in September 2006 to coincide with the singer's twenty-fifth birthday. In its first week, 'B'Day' sold more than 540,000 copies in the U.S.

Beyonce then began to persew a second career as an actress along side her singing career. Her biggest films being Dream Girls and Pink Panther.

 

 

On April 4, 2008, Knowles married Jay-Z in New York City.In January 2012 Beyconce gave birth to her baby  Blue Ivy Carter. Hear we see Beyonce with a very different star image. Instead of seeing her as an 'untouchable' star on stage with a large 'sex appeal',images of her as a mother figure begin to be leaked into the media. This then links with Richard Dyers theory of a star being two different people and having two different images.
