(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM THE GRAMMY CEREMONY)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: "Dangerously In Love," Beyonce.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Beyonce, come on down!

(END VIDEO CLIP) BEYONCE KNOWLES, ENTERTAINER: I won five Grammies tonight. That's amazing.

KENDIS GIBSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: An amazing year, absolutely. Did you expect to have this sort of night?

KNOWLES: No. I was so honored to perform with Prince.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM THE GRAMMY CEREMONY)

KNOWLES AND PRINCE: Purple rain, purple rain, oh yes.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KNOWLES: I can't believe I was on the stage with Prince singing in one mike with Prince. I mean it's unbelievable. He is such an inspiration and so important to music and to R&B. And just that was very much so a historical moment for me.

GIBSON: Is it still nerve wracking?

KNOWLES: Yes. I can't talk about it. I just want to shake. I mean I have to see it on TV to believe it. I can't believe it. It's just, that was amazing.

GIBSON: Is it going to be hard going back to Destiny's Child and gathering, you know, after you've had such great success on your own?

KNOWLES: It is going to be a little more challenging just because we've had time apart and we've grown so much individually. And I'm sure it's going to be hard for us to figure out the sound. And we're a lot more mature and older. But we love each other. We're friends and we respect each other and care about each other and can't wait to get back in the studio.

GIBSON: Yes.

KNOWLES: It's a good challenge.

GIBSON: Yes. How -- and when is that going to happen?

KNOWLES: Actually, I have a tour coming up with Missy and Alicia Keyes next month and the following month I go in the studio with Destiny's Child. So, it'll be out.

GIBSON: It's a diva powerhouse.

KNOWLES: A diva powerhouse, yes.

GIBSON: Good strain.

Thank you and congratulations.

KNOWLES: Thank you very much.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COSTELLO: She's so much more mature. Do you realize she's just 22 years old? Pretty amazing. Beyonce's five trophies tied Alicia Keyes, Norah Jones and Lauren Hill for the most Grammies won by a female artist.
