Which singer became a member of Destiny's Child with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland in 2000?

The story behind the answer

Michelle Williams became a member of Destiny's Child with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland in 2000.

Williams joined the group after the departures of LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson. Her arrival created the trio lineup most closely associated with Destiny's Child’s commercial peak: Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.

That lineup produced major hits including “Independent Women Part I,” “Survivor,” and “Bootylicious.” Destiny's Child became one of the best-selling female groups in music history before disbanding in 2006.

A common mix-up is confusing Williams with Farrah Franklin, who briefly joined the group in 2000. Williams remained with Destiny's Child through its final album, Destiny Fulfilled, and later pursued gospel, musical-theater, and solo projects.
