Great Deal: Beyonce Signs Three Aspiring Singers for $1.5M

Beyoncé has found three dream girls to mold into
superstars.
The 33-year-old signed sister-act duo Chloe Bailey, 17,
and Halle Bailey, 15, and Sophie Beem, 14, to her
management company Parkwood Entertainment for five-

However, Beyonce's Parkwood Music management group
sees potential.
According to terms of Sophie's contract, the rock/folk
