Destiny's Child reunited briefly at the 30th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards show for a special performance of "Say Yes," which honored Michelle Williams. Williams was nominated for three awards for "Say Yes," which Beyonce and Kelly Rowland also collaborated on.
"Say Yes" is a remix and more modern version of "Jesus Say Yes." It was recorded in 2014 by Williams, who had the help of her former bandmates in the studio.
"It was so much fun. It was like we were little kids again," Williams told Rolling Stone about working on the video with Beyoncé and Rowland. "I have their back and they have mine. They have showed themselves to be loyal to me time after time. They have proven they are my sisters time and time again."
"Say Yes" was nominated at the Stellar Awards for Urban/Inspiration Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Music Video of the Year.
"They received an advance copy of the album and called, saying, 'We love "When Jesus Says Yes"... there has to be a Destiny's Child mix of the song,'" Williams said at the time to Rolling Stone. "Kelly did it and Beyoncé got right in the studio and did her part. I kept it a secret because I didn't want anyone to know until it was time."
The last time the members of Destiny's Child reunited on air was at the 2013 Superbowl. Williams and Rowland walked onstage to sing their hit "Bootylicious" as well as "Independent Women" and a remix of Beyonce's "Single Ladies." In 2013, "breaking the Internet" wasn't yet a concept, but if it had been, this Destiny's Child reunion would have broken it.
The trio's performance and the rest of the awards show doesn't air until this Sunday, on Easter, on TV One.
