Destiny’s Child, her first worldwide succes came as no surprise. The spotlight was found. As a solo-artist, Queen B has ascended the throne and crowned herself along with her husband JayZ as the royalty of showbusiness. The Queen of Pop has arrived. By making clever use of each others fame they elevated themselves to an iconic status. The Halo-effect in full swing. It is the phenomenon in which the presence of a certain perceived quality effects all other perceived qualities of that person.
