High And Mighty

After splitting with the group, Beyonce turned to acting, starring in MTV's "Carmen" without any previous training. Then came the biggest of them all. The summer of 2002, saw Beyoncé co-star in the film "Austin Powers in Goldmember " opposite Mike Myers' role of Austin Powers, as Foxxy Cleopatra. That was not all. Along with the work in the movie, she kept her musical soul alive by recording a song and producing a music video, called "Work It Out", for the movie soundtrack. "Work It Out" was a top 10 hit in the UK and a top 40 hit in the Netherlands, Australia, and Ireland.Strangely, the song turned out to be Beyoncé's biggest flop to date in her home country. In America, radio barely played the song and the video received very minor exposure in the form of digital video channels, MTV Jams and VH1 Soul.
