BEYONCE has filed papers in order to sign three teen singers. See the YouTube video that helped her decide they would be stars.
Beyonce is asking a New York judge to approve the five-year deals, a requirement because the girls are minors, The New York Post reports.

The first contract covers LA-based sisters Chloe Bailey, 17, and Halle Bailey, 15.
Beyonce’s manager came across a YouTube video of the duo belting out Pretty Hurts, a song from Beyonce’s last album. The video has over 10 million views.
Their father, Douglas, gushes in court papers, “We cannot think of a better person to help guide the girls,” adding his daughters “worship” Bey.
Their $ US1 million contract provides for up to six albums over five years. It awards Beyonce 15 per cent of the sisters’ gross earnings.
Beyonce also signed a third singer, 14-year-old Sophie Beem of New York, to her Parkwood Entertainment company.
Beem inked a $ US560,000 deal after she wowed Parkwood executives.
Beem finished in the top 40 contestants on The X Factor in 2012.
