In a nutshell, he learned from Berry Gordy’s mistakes. However it was inevitable. It happened with the changing group members. However once Beyoncé’s solo career took off, Matthew made sure they would record together again and also perform together. Other group members also pursued solo careers. It’s not that Matthew saw stars in Kelly and Michelle, he just didn’t want anything to mess up what he had planned for Beyoncé. Again he learned from Berrys mistakes.
