0:00Day 4, 7, 7, 7 World Tour for Rihanna, on a apari en france, and we're about to go chat with some of our contest winners, and Adam, Rihanna's bass player. We're all feeling the burn a little bit. Oh man. Where are you at? I'm on day six, burn. And it's only day four, that's the problem. So I was telling everybody like, yo, by day four, it's gonna be crazy. And I was right, because I want to go to sleep, everywhere, any and everywhere. Now, he said. How are you doing with the set list? Are you guys ready to play? Absolutely. Anything if you could, if you switch things up. We've been trying too, man. Sound checks have been like old rock band style, learning songs and throwing them out there and seeing what she may catch on to.

0:46So it's been an old school. I love it. You know, I started playing in clubs like what we're doing now and gravitated toward the arenas and stadiums. Because always good to return back to your roots. What's your favorite songs to play? Now, I'm loving the new stuff. Fresh off the runway, diamonds, you know, stays an amazing song we premiered last night. You know, the classics, umbrella, birthday cake, all great songs. So what's been the highlight so far? What have you really enjoyed? LA. LA was your favorite? Yeah. Or what's been some of your favorite songs that you've seen? What song is that? What song is that? Men down. Men down. Had a couple of hours to kill, so I thought, why not show you some of the landmarks of Paris

1:32since we are here, you know, the Eiffel Tower, the Ark, all the good stuff that Paris has to offer, the luva, just mind-woggling how great this place is. And then we'll go see Rihanna play. LA. LA. LA. Coming in the air. OK. There's streams from everywhere. OK. I'm addicted to the tomorrow. I'm ready. LA. Shut up. Shut up. Can't be scared when Nick goes down. Got a problem, tell me now. Only thing that someone might have been wrong. Shut up. No, you've been hurt. I'm on it. But by the way, carry yours.

2:18It's you. Let me. Here's what I do. I'll take care of you.
