These seven women have won countless awards, received the highest acclaim, and achieved success in various forms of entertainment, but have never lost themselves in the process. IT'S ALL HERE IN THIS EXCITING COMPILATION! ALICIA KEYS began taking piano lessons at age seven ….even from a young age, she had stage presence… passion. She's won Grammies and numerous other awards for "Best New Artist", "Best R&B Album", "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance", "Best R&B Song", and "Song of the Year". ASHANTI'S debut album was released in April 2002 after years of hard work and disappointing record deals. Ashanti easily claimed the top spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop album chart by selling a whopping 500,000 copies within the first week. She has since won countless awards and nominations for her music and performances. BEYONCE' had decided that 2003 was the perfect time in her career to release her solo album, because all of her mainstream exposure had made the release of Dangerously in Love highly anticipated. Audiences knew that the help she received from Missy Elliot, Jay Z, Sean Paul, Mario Winans, Big Boi, and Luther Vandross would only seal the potential success of the album. They were right. Every song that was released from Dangerously in Love was an instant success. DESTINY'S CHILD had proven time and again that they were talented and gifted artists. Their longevity as the most powerful female group of their era and the continuing success of the award-winning group leaves their audiences reeling. The women of Destiny's Child have a radiant aura of longevity and they have consistently taken steps to make sure that neither the public nor they themselves become bored with their work. NATIONAL BEST-SELLER!! JENNIFER LOPEZ is one woman who can truly say she's done it all. If superstardom is a main goal in today's world, she is on top of the world. Jennifer has become one of the most popular and idolized actresses and singers in the world. She has starred in hit movies, made award-winning albums, fine-tuned her love for dancing, guest starred on popular sitcoms, modeled for some of the world's top designers, and started her own company. As a result, it only makes sense that she has become the center of the media's nonstop attention. Although MYA tantalizes viewers with her beauty, sex appeal and dancing abilities, audiences appreciate her most and identify with the messages within her songs. Her music is often light-hearted and catchy; however, it boasts of independence, self-esteem, and a call for respect. AN INSPIRING BOOK!
