3. Beyonce
Beyonce Knowles is a woman who has it all. She’s one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, has been part of one of the most successful girl groups of all time, has a ridiculously successful and critically acclaimed solo career, is married to the most powerful man in the music industry, and has a daughter that is Disney levels of cute.
Her perfect existence hasn’t escaped the misery of rejection, however. As a member of the group Girl’s Tyme, alongside cousin and future fellow Destiny’s child Kelly Rowland, Beyonce entered a talent contest set up by label bosses and local entertainment bigwigs to find the next big thing. Unbelievably, she failed miserably and was roundly ignored by the talent-spotters.
There are two things to consider before feeling slightly better about your own failures in life; firstly, Queen B was only 8 years old at the time. Secondly, her father, Matthew was so outraged by the slight on his daughter that he immediately quit his job and devoted himself to being one of the most overbearing, though successful managers in music. That kind of thing doesn’t happen to everybody.
