At the writing of this article, Beyoncé Knowles will be in direct competition with Maria Carey and Alicia Keys—for Beyoncé Knowles, 24-year-old songstress, is nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Female R & B Vocal Performance, for “Wishing on a Star.”

And Beyoncé is also nominated in another category as well—Best R & B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, for “So Amazing.”

Those of us who first encountered her found Beyoncé singing with Destiny’s Child, the Star Search-discovered singing group Beyoncé co-formed, produced, and was the chief songwriter and lead singer for. Others will recall first hearing Beyoncé at the 46th Grammy Awards, where she performed (with Prince, a surprise show) a medley of pieces including her “Crazy in Love” and three of Prince’s Purple Rain hits; or Beyoncé performing “Believe,” “Look To Your Path [Vois sur ton Chemin],” and “Learn to be Lonely” at the 77th Annual Academy Awards; or Beyoncé singing at any number of the awards shows…where she was often a winner.

Her talent and consistent performance record, that is, is known and greeted with as much gushing, gratitude and applause as is her winning record: in five short years she has rocketed to stardom with such awards and accolades as those from ASCAP Awards; BET Awards; Billboard Music Awards; Black Reel Awards; Brit Awards; Capital FM Awards; Grammy Awards; MTV Awards; People’s Choice Awards; Radio Music Awards; Soul Train Music Awards; Vibe Awards; and World Music Awards. In addition, Beyoncé Knowles the actress, the celebrity, and the humanitarian has won image awards, NAACP awards, Teen Choice awards; and Kids’ Choice awards.

However we each first “met” Beyoncé Knowles, her fans will tell you what’s more important is her skill and appeal as a stylized performer, her grace as a high-profile celebrity, and her beneficent contributions to charities and non-profit causes. And her R & B singing, her range, her versatility, and her beautiful and graceful stage presence all contribute to the star’s gifts and, subsequently, to her popularity. Will Beyoncé Knowles win her 49th (and 50th) awards this year? Her competition, of course, is stunning in their own right. But if you listen to her fans, you might likely champion Beyoncé as the winner…for according to one statistic, a Universal Music poll conducted in early 2005, Beyoncé was granted—over Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera—the moniker “Princess of Pop.” And the fans know best.
