A Billboard Must-Read Fall 2015 Music Book The first comprehensive biography ever published about America's favorite living pop icon, Beyoncé, from New York Times bestselling biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli.Beyoncé Knowles is a woman who began her career at the age of eight performing in pageant shows and talent contests, honing her craft through her teenage years until, at the age of 16, she had her first number one record with Destiny's Child. That hit-making trio launched Beyoncé's successful solo career, catapulting her, as of 2014, to #1 on Forbes annual list of most wealthy celebrities--the same year she made the cover of Time. BECOMING BEYONCÉ is not only the story of struggle, sacrifice, and what it takes to make it in the cut-throat record industry, it's the story of the great rewards of such success and the devastating toll it often takes on the human spirit.

By Lloyd Johnson I have never been a fan of Beyonce, and given the number of die-hards that make up the "Bey-hive" I've often wondered if there was something wrong with me. I say this because when I've watched her perform it's obvious she was put here to perform. And when I've watched her interact with the public, be it her fans or media, she always comes across as gracious. But for some reason I've always suspected that lying somewhere behind the face she puts forth to the world would be the REAL Beyonce. I was expecting Mr. Taraborrelli to take a sledge hammer to this artfully crafted facade, but instead he creates a compelling narrative that delves into the mystique behind Beyonce Knowles.I found that I can appreciate the hard work and talent that went into crafting Beyonce's career stemming back through various incarnations of the girl group that would ultimately become Destiny's Child. I was impressed by the "walking out on faith" Beyonce's parents did during the lean times to help their daughter realize her dreams.Because some of the behind the scenes drama was very reminiscent of what happened with Diana Ross and the Supremes(or any other girl group for that matter), I was expecting Beyonce to carry much of the same personality and temperament of a petulant diva , but I must say, Beyonce has never sought to be unnecessarily difficult with people or a show-off that upstages people, but rather relied on her talent to propel her into becoming the best Beyonce she could be.My lasting impression is that there was a lot of sweeping of family issues under carpets, which I think contributed to Beyonce's compartmentalizing of things, a trait that she apparently learned from her mother. I also left the story feeling that while Mathew Knowles sacrificed much for the sake of both of his daughters aspirations, there are times when he comes off as plain selfish i.e his incessant cheating.I found myself hitting YouTube to check out some of her videos, both with and without Destiny's Child. Did I walk away a fan? No, but I did walk away with a profound respect for Beyonce's artistry and work ethic. She's an exemplar of what talent and hard work can yield.
26 of 30 people found the following review helpful. even by someone like myself who has generally paid her only a passing ... By Felicia Ward I am not a Beyonce fan. I purchased this book largely as a fan of J. Randy Taraborelli and his previous works, which I often found balanced and informative. I hoped to see the same here-an intimate portrait of a closely guarded superstar. Unfortunately, there is very little revealed about Beyonce here that isn't already known, even by someone like myself who has generally paid her only a passing interest over the years. That is not really surprising, considering her public persona over the years. But the really disappointing thing was the lack of proper editing, fact-checking (for example, the incorrect statement that Beyonce won a Golden Globe for her work in "Dreamgirls",something that can be checked online in less than a minute"), and proofreading. The only place Taraborelli succeeds is in a painting a sympathetic image of a girl who, at the heart of it all, just wanted to sing, and worked hard to become a star. While I am still not a fan of Beyonce or her music, I appreciate the dedication it took for her to get where she is.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Amazing and detailed biography! By Karma Ive been a fan of J. Randy Taraborrelli since his legendary book, "Call Her Miss Ross". When I heard he was doing a biography on Beyonce, I knew I was in for a treat. I was not disappointed! The author takes the reader through the ups, downs, the flattering and not so flattering parts of Beyonce's evolution to pop phenomenon. With her being notorious and downright obsessive about her privacy, I figured that Taraborrelli wouldn't get much information, but get it he did and much more. I found it to be an easy and captivating read and I spent all day in bed finishing it. Well done!
