00:00 [singing in Spanish]
00:03 My fans, I feel like they have the most crazy energy.
00:09 And when someone is talking s*** about me
00:13 or the internet is making me look bad or something,
00:16 they always go like.
00:17 This is our one typical office day.
00:27 [laughing]
00:29 Hi, Billboard, I'm Bat Yal.
00:41 Welcome to my tour stop in Los Angeles.
00:43 She's Alba, my manager for more than seven years.
00:51 We've been together since the beginning.
00:53 She's Adriana, my tour manager and my assistant.
00:57 We've also been together for more than seven years
00:59 and we're friends since childhood.
01:01 I'm obsessed with anything that is sparking.
01:15 At the end of the day, I'm presenting my album
01:17 that's called "The G World" in Catalan, "La Joya".
01:21 So we wanted the looks to fit with the concept
01:23 of the album.
01:24 He's Jay, hair artist.
01:27 No one even noticed that I wear wigs
01:30 because it's a good job.
01:32 Check, check.
01:33 [laughing]
01:33 - Yeah, let's go.
01:35 - Let's go.
01:36 - Every look is supposed to be like a mood board
01:39 for somebody else.
01:40 We created it and others have yet.
01:44 [laughing]
01:47 - Hi, I'm Venus.
01:49 I'm Alba's makeup artist.
01:51 She always does the mascara and the lashes
01:53 and she always does the lips.
01:55 - Show days are super tight, super busy
01:57 because I have to do glam, I have to get dressed,
02:01 I have to get to the venue,
02:03 but I also have to do all the social media content.
02:05 - And we're really lucky with this job
02:10 that we can be here and there's no boss
02:13 telling you not to say this or not to do this.
02:15 - I'm the boss.
02:16 [laughing]
02:18 - I'm the boss, even if I don't look like it.
02:19 - Look at this.
02:20 - Glam is done, so now we're gonna get dressed
02:25 and start doing the content.
02:27 Since I'm the one who's deciding
02:33 which pictures I'm posting,
02:35 like I run all my social media.
02:37 [upbeat music]
02:40 [upbeat music]
02:42 [upbeat music]
02:45 [upbeat music]
02:46 And after that, I go back to my dressing room,
02:50 I chill for a bit, I take my hot tea for my boys
02:55 and then I do the vocal training.
02:58 So I call my vocal coach that is in Spain.
03:03 It's kind of crazy for her
03:05 because the time change is super crazy.
03:10 [vocal training]
03:13 So they just told me that the show is sold out.
03:22 Woo!
03:23 [laughing]
03:24 And I'm about to post it on my IG.
03:26 Thank you LA for the love, I love you so much.
03:29 Thank you!
03:30 [laughing]
03:31 [upbeat music]
03:34 We're here!
03:35 [upbeat music]
03:38 Hi!
03:43 [upbeat music]
03:46 [crowd cheering]
03:47 - At the end of the day, she's a good girl.
03:50 Not a bad girl.
03:52 [speaking in foreign language]
03:54 - Yeah, she's very focused.
03:55 [singing in foreign language]
03:58 - The most necessary things I must have
04:01 for a successful tour, a comfortable bed.
04:05 [laughing]
04:06 [upbeat music]
04:09 [crowd cheering]
04:14 We come from really far and we gotta make sure
04:17 that we do everything we need to do
04:19 on this side of the world while we're here.
04:22 [crowd cheering]
04:23 [singing in foreign language]
04:31 Thank you so much, Billboard, for joining me
04:33 for my whole day pre-show.
04:35 And see you on the stage!
04:37 Bye!
