US: I also wanted to ask you about touring with Beyonce. Did B give you any advice?

S: Oh my gosh. That was the experience of my life. She is just epic. Being able to see such a dynamic performer for two months straight was unbelievable. So of course I was watching her, trying to get all the little tips, and I got to meet such epic people every single night. One night I got to meet Bono, George Michael, and Jay-Z. Katy Perry was there one night. So you don’t get to see just Beyonce — you get to meet all the cool people that you would look up to and aspire to be like. She actually took time out to spend with me and she was just to embracing and welcoming, she gave me a lot of advice and told me to just to just stay focused. It was just really great to have someone who you look up to come down to your level and come down to talk to you,  and she’s just a really good mentor.
 
US: What was it like to see her and Jay hang out? They have such a great marriage.

S: It was really cool. Everyone is just like one big happy family. Seeing her and her family and the crew, you can’t tell the difference between who’s who. When we are out on the road, the band was just like one big family, laughing all the time. It was all fun. It was just really great, a lot of practical jokes

Earlier in the month, video footage of one of Michelle and Brendan’s rehearsals showed him comparing the songstress’s dancing to his dad’s.

But Michelle showed the pro who is boss by ordering him to ‘whip it!’ and imitate her snake-hip movements
