Album – Survivor
Music on - Sony
It`s hard to argue with the premise of the title track of Destiny`s Child`s new CD. The group`s history has been like a version of the TV show. Members have been regularly booted and Kelly Rowland and leader Beyonce Knowles have emerged as tough, very wealthy survivors. As on Independent Women, the boasts about success become mean taunts. The lyrics specify the many ways "now that you`re out of my life I`m so much better", mocking the unnamed person who thought she`d be weak, broke, scared and helpless with the facts that she`s wise, tougher and, most importantly, has sold nine million.
