00:00It's about that time, y'all.
00:08OMT! OMT! OMT!
00:10Louder! OMT!
00:12Louder! OMT!
00:14Hey!
00:16I'm here to see the OMG girls.
00:18Once I found out they were going on tour,
00:20I'm like, whoa, gotta go.
00:22But now they back, and they back, they back.
00:24It brings out my inner child.
00:26I've been a fan since I was in middle school.
00:28We became friends through OMG,
00:30and it's just been...
00:32It's been history ever since then.
00:34The name stays.
00:36The name stays!
00:38OMG girls!
00:54OMG girls!
00:56Don't need Veja and Brie from the OMG girls!
01:02Star.
01:03Baby doll.
01:04Beauty.
01:05And we are...
01:06The OMG girls.
01:07The OMG girls.
01:08The OMG girls.
01:09We have Veja, Brie, inside.
01:12And Brie.
01:13It's the name stays tour.
01:15Three.
01:16Two.
01:17One.
01:18Go!
01:27So can y'all give me a little...
01:32So can y'all, can y'all give me a little like, like a, ooh, let me just need to ooze out a little bit.
01:42A little like, Diana, no, a Diana Ross.
01:45Yeah, okay.
01:46You know, for me too.
01:47That's the cream.
01:48When I found that I was creative director for this, I immediately went to their old stuff first
01:53and immersed myself into their catalog and I saw who were their influence.
01:58You could tell right away who were their influence.
01:59So I immediately went to TLC, I went to Destiny's Child, I went to all the local Atlanta, like black, 702, just all the girl groups.
02:08I saw that, I wanted to combine their references with their youth, with what the future is now.
02:15You know what I mean?
02:15And just trying to embody all of that into one magic ball.
02:21Very excited for this tour.
02:22It's our first headlining tour.
02:24Everybody, all components.
02:25Look at Anthony right here.
02:27Yes.
02:27He's been killing us in a great way, making sure we are great.
02:30And we appreciate that every day.
02:32Ha!
02:32What I learned through this process is that the most important thing is to be well rested and
02:37to have a lot of energy.
02:38And our schedules have been packed, not only with rehearsals, but also press days, promoting
02:43our newest single team.
02:44OMG, the OMG girls.
02:46Yes.
02:47You could walk on the first headlining tour.
02:49Yes.
02:49The OMG girls.
02:51Rehearsals, have been full of energy, lots of stretching.
02:55Hands here.
02:56Stretch, stretch the bottom leg, stretch the bottom leg.
02:58Lots of cardio.
02:59Get me there, get me there.
03:00And lots of ad work, too.
03:02Eight singles.
03:03Eight, seven, six, five, four.
03:06You got to, like, head it tight so you can hold up right.
03:10Period.
03:10So it's the official first day of tech, and we are five days out before our first show
03:15here in Atlanta.
03:16And it's just now connecting all the dots.
03:18We've been putting all these sections together to see how they fit and flow.
03:22And everything is working.
03:24It's just, you know, hurry up and wait.
03:27You know, slow cook.
03:27We could do that.
03:33That could be crazy.
03:34Sure.
03:35I'll lose it.
03:38I swear I'll let you do it.
03:39Okay, okay, okay.
03:40No, yeah, I'm just, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, you know, piece it together, too.
03:44What's up, y'all?
03:44This is Gordie Maxx.
03:45I am musical director, arranger, drummer for OMG girls.
03:49Right now, we are making edits to the song Make a Scene.
03:53We are basically making a better transition.
03:57Gordie is amazing.
04:05He's an amazing musician.
04:06And I think he just really put a lot into the sound of the show because we really have
04:11to tell a story with the music.
04:14Today feels absolutely amazing.
04:16I think because we've been in rehearsal for the past month, just like getting it right.
04:20Now it's kind of just getting everything else surrounding the show right, integrating
04:24everybody into what we've been rehearsing.
04:27It's been a lot of hard work.
04:28It has not been easy.
04:29We've been having 10 to 12 hour days pretty much every day this month.
04:33Dancing is not something that I really enjoy doing or learning, but I feel like this process
04:38kind of made me come to love it.
04:40I definitely think that me feeding into that insecurity of like feeling like I couldn't
04:45dance is kind of what was stopping me from progressing.
04:48And I think that throughout this process, it just kind of awakened something in me to be
04:54like, you know what?
04:54I have to dance and it has to look good.
04:56And as you can see, you hear that voice?
05:03It's raspy.
05:04Well, I have a naturally raspy voice, but it's hoarse because I may have used it a little
05:08too much.
05:09Myself, I am not just rapping.
05:12I am also singing.
05:13So I'm a person that likes to hype people up when I'm having a good time.
05:16And I've had to keep it quiet because she'll go away and go on vacation and then I have
05:22to go find her.
05:22And sometimes she just takes longer than what it should.
05:25So I put myself on vocal rest, made sure I stayed on top of my green tees and honey
05:29and taking care of the vocal cords better.
05:36Atlanta!
05:37Let it breathe for a second.
05:39I wasn't going to say that.
05:40That's not my line.
05:41The long rehearsals have been really crazy, trying to juggle being a parent and being
05:47an artist.
05:48I'm always in mama mode, as y'all can see.
05:51I had to go pick my baby up before I came to rehearsal.
05:54She's here.
05:55I got her a lot of toys and I'm hoping that that keeps her occupied.
05:59I feel like as moms, when we can't always be there for our kids, we put all this pressure
06:03on ourselves and feel like maybe I'm not doing the best thing for my kid.
06:06So I have to remind myself that when my kid is not with me, she is still fine.
06:12Watching Zhanique as a mother and juggling her career, it just reminds me of myself because
06:17when she was Hunter's age, I was doing the same thing.
06:20So it's like, I love seeing her in her element and I'm glad that Hunter is able to see her
06:26in her element and they see you in that light.
06:28They get to see who mommy is and what they really do.
06:31And I love that for her and she's doing a great job.
06:34My mode in full effects, I don't know how I'm doing it, y'all, but I'm doing it.
06:39All right, this is the intro to Gucci Diz, the Namestays Tour.
06:43Yep.
06:44Y'all ready for this?
06:46If you know this, sing along with us.
06:48Gucci Diz, Gucci Diz.
06:50But, but, but, y'all, one second, one second, one second, one second.
06:54All the transitions have talking moments in every song.
06:58There's always somebody saying something, there's never no dead moments.
07:00In between that, the instrumental moments, somebody always have to give a beat, a talk,
07:05something so we can hear y'all.
07:06It can feel personal.
07:07It can feel like, you remember this?
07:09We want, you know, how many, how many of y'all remember this one?
07:13Okay.
07:14I need y'all to sing this one with us too.
07:15Just something in that vein where you're inviting them and you're keeping connected.
07:20I think overall, Anthony's amazing.
07:21He just looks at the bigger picture.
07:23He wants us to look amazing.
07:24And also, he wants for us to feel confident in our performance.
07:28Very grateful to be working with him.
07:30Okay.
07:30Oh, great in the industry.
07:32What are the different textures and elements that we can incorporate?
07:36Like Destiny's Child and like, you know, think about how strong their looks were and
07:39like how different they were at the same time.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Honestly, I think that it's kind of crazy that we're so close.
07:46We haven't seen any, you know, wardrobe looks.
07:48I feel like the great thing about EJ is that he just understands like the vision and like
07:53the look of OMG.
07:55And he hasn't missed.
07:56And he won't.
07:57Yeah.
07:58He won't.
07:58Yeah.
07:59All right.
07:59So I think we're in a good space, y'all.
08:01Yeah.
08:01I think movement-wise, y'all hitting your beats.
08:03You're making your marks.
08:05You know, you're getting your ad-libs.
08:06We got the script.
08:08The process is continuous.
08:09As long as we keep going on in this like upward trajectory, I think we're in a good space.
08:14I don't want to get comfortable.
08:15I want to continue to push this narrative and, you know, push for that, for Excellence Street,
08:19baby.
08:19Yeah, baby.
08:20Okay, we got you, baby.
08:21Okay, baby.
08:22I love you.
08:23Baby, baby.
08:24Okay.
08:24All right.
08:25Let's get to it.
08:27I think me and the girls have found a different type of voice within our team.
08:32Like, wow, you know, they're not little girls anymore.
08:34I think they look amazing.
08:36They sounded good.
08:37Thank y'all.
08:39You got a couple more days for amazing.
08:40Yeah, I mean, well, I did see a couple of those things where they were kind of like,
08:44don't start that much, please.
08:46So starting the OMG Girls, I just knew that my daughter could sing.
08:51Of course, you know, Neek Neek and Baja grew up together.
08:53They were together since they were in the womb.
08:55And so I was like, hey, like, this is dope.
08:58Like, let's put them together.
09:00It was a passion for me to create a girl group.
09:03What makes them special is that they are vibe.
09:06Like, you know, they fresh, they cute, they have talent.
09:11Their stage presence is over the top.
09:13I think that this show is definitely a true reflection of, like, who we are as individuals
09:17and as a group.
09:19It shows just us in a new light.
09:21Just us being mature, you know, but really just grown women.
09:24Y'all ready for this?
09:26Who's not a cleanest?
09:27I believe they go by the name.
09:29OMG!
09:32I've worked with Gordy in the past.
09:34You know, I felt like he has a young, youthful, fresh perspective, and it works for what these
09:40young ladies are doing for their reemergence.
09:42I just enjoy being able to, like, come in and just tell him my ideas, and he'll execute.
09:47So, yeah, I debuted the intro yesterday.
09:49In my process of creating and arranging, I typically do my intros last.
09:53It kind of gives me that bigger picture idea and how I should move, and it's crazy because
09:58I did it maybe about three to four hours before debuting because I was, I was just in my head
10:03about it.
10:03I wanted to make sure that the intro was what it needed to be.
10:06It took every bit of the third day of rehearsal to be like, I got an intro.
10:10The pressure was on, for sure, this week.
10:13It was definitely on.
10:15Gordy created this last night.
10:16I know we up to the crunch, but he had this idea to come up with something for the intro,
10:21so he's going to let us hear it.
10:30OMG girls don't need Granger and Brie.
10:35It's from the Omnibus!
10:36A star, baby doll, beauty, and we are the OMG girls.
10:45It's the namestays tour.
10:48Three, two, one, go!
10:51Ladies and gentlemen, the OMG.
11:00Go, go, go, go, go.
11:15You ate that, or you put your foot on the neck, and the neck is broken.
11:27Give him a sprain.
11:28Shout out to Gordy.
11:29He killed that, okay?
11:30My favorite part of the show, honestly, is the opening.
11:34Oh my God!
11:35Like, no notes.
11:36Beautiful.
11:37Cheels on the body.
11:38Yeah.
11:39Yeah.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Yeah.
11:43All right, now.
11:44Another piece of the puzzle, okay?
11:45Come on.
11:46Come on.
11:47We got a show now.
11:48We got a show.
11:49We got a show.
11:50We got a show.
11:51We got a show.
11:52All right, ladies.
11:56So, we just sold out our first show.
11:59Yes!
12:00Yes!
12:01I wanted them to have an elevated moment, a moment of surprise.
12:06So, we sold the show out.
12:07So, we sold the show out.
12:08Oh, yeah.
12:09Oh, yeah.
12:10Oh, yeah.
12:11Oh, yeah.
12:12Y'all been busy, but I was gonna come tell y'all that.
12:14Hey, we need to do a post-it.
12:15Okay.
12:16Yeah.
12:17We sold out.
12:18Yeah.
12:19It's amazing to do this in our hometown and, like, them to sell out the way they did.
12:22Team OMG do not play.
12:23They don't.
12:24Okay.
12:25When it comes to our fans, they are very interactive.
12:28They're gonna tell you how they feel.
12:30They keep tabs and receipts on everything.
12:32Love them down.
12:33Shout out to Team OMG.
12:34We have the show just to run down.
12:36Yeah.
12:37We have all our steps.
12:38Yeah.
12:39All our talking points.
12:40Mm-hmm.
12:41And now, we just have to just run it without the mirrors.
12:42Yeah.
12:43That's the thing I'm like.
12:44That's the tough part.
12:45Yeah.
12:46We're all in alignment together.
12:48We're just so chilled that it's like nothing can come our way and separate us.
12:53This is just my favorite girl group.
12:54Even if I wasn't in the group, y'all are still my favorites.
12:57Ooh.
12:58I agree.
12:59Yeah.
13:00It's me.
13:01I said, is that true?
13:02It is.
13:03I feel that.
13:04Y'all are still my favorite artist, period.
13:06Aw, thank you, Bri.
13:08Well, now I have to say something sweet.
13:10I just feel like you guys inspire me so much.
13:13The two of you watching y'all do what you do, even though I'm alongside of y'all.
13:17I like to watch y'all.
13:18Yeah.
13:19I love standing next to you, ladies.
13:20Okay.
13:21I love you.
13:22The girls and I, we're all extremely talented.
13:24We all love music.
13:26Doing it together is one of our favorite things to do.
13:29So just to have a second chance in itself is really, I feel like, out of passion.
13:33You know, when I come into this process with the girls, it just, it humbles me.
13:37I trust them enough to ride with them, even if it might be something that I don't agree with.
13:44You know what I mean?
13:45Because I know that they have the same vision that I do, which is what's best for all of us.
13:50Let's cheers to our first city being sold out.
13:52Yes.
13:53To our first headlining tour.
13:54To the namespace tour.
13:55I can't wait to do many more with y'all.
13:57I love y'all so much and I'm so proud of us.
13:58I love y'all.
13:59I love you, ladies.
14:00I'm so proud of us.
14:01We done got to the end, baby.
14:02Woo!
14:03All right.
14:04Stand by.
14:05Have fun, ladies.
14:06This is actually show number one.
14:09Work through the mishaps.
14:11Playback.
14:12Go.
14:13Three, two, one.
14:16Go!
14:36Go!
14:37Way Wedding.
14:38How can I?
14:39Go!
14:40Go!
14:41Go!
14:42Woo!
14:43To get to this point, and there's still little things that are gonna happen but we can prevent
14:53them because its in y'all and y'all know it but I feel encouraged, I hope y'all feel encouraged.
14:57I hope y'all feel encouraged.
14:58Like, just to sit back, I was entertained.
15:01I was engaged.
15:03Okay.
15:04Y'all killed it though.
15:05Like, I'm not even gonna hold you.
15:06Like, you know what I mean?
15:08The mess ups were saved, but it's just like,
15:09I saw a baby just said, ooh, one time.
15:11I'm like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
15:16I was talking about hard, it's like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
15:19ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
15:22There's a lot of stutter steps, Brie.
15:24You got a lot of stutter steps, you know what I mean?
15:26It's just, I mean, it's not personal, you know what I mean?
15:29I'm just saying, like, so can we?
15:31I was saying that.
15:32I didn't say that.
15:34Well, as you can see, there's still work to be done.
15:37See you at the show.
15:56I don't know if you want to spend it on me personally last night.
15:59It'll spit in my ear more.
16:01Oh, okay.
16:02If I take them into my ear, they just went out and I'll
16:04spend it in my gym.
16:12Hello!
16:14Hey, you can come up.
16:15I just think they'll walk out.
16:16Like, I'm not confident in them walking out, y'all.
16:18Okay.
16:19And that's the first time.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Because I just feel like I'm messing it up.
16:22You don't want to be confident.
16:23Yeah, I feel like I'm messing it up.
16:24You don't want to be confident.
16:25Yeah, I feel like I'm messing it up.
16:26I'm coming last.
16:27So when you last did it, what did he say?
16:28What was the note?
16:29He really wasn't saying much of nothing, it felt like.
16:30Did he not get a video?
16:31He just said he was going to get a video so he could see it.
16:32I mean, I guess the walk-in is the only thing that I don't feel certain about.
16:34But hopefully I just get up there and it works out.
16:37I'm just very calm.
16:38I just kind of want to be, like, quiet.
16:41So I'll be excited, like, after it's done.
16:43Oh, my gosh!
16:44This looks so good!
16:47I'm excited.
16:48I don't know which I'm buying, but they all cute.
16:50So how you doing, y'all?
16:51I'm AJ King, celebrity stylist.
16:53And today's look started from, we did a shoot for Rolling Stone.
16:59And it was the first time the girls kind of did all black.
17:03They kind of did leather.
17:05It was a bit more edgier.
17:06And so I wanted to kind of recreate a vibe like that today.
17:11I'm like, why not start off the tour with this momentum and kind of vibe?
17:17But it's the new revamped OMG Girls.
17:21Fits are about to be fire, like, put that ish on.
17:24We had a great soundcheck.
17:25I'm feeling good.
17:26I'm feeling great.
17:27I'm getting to the place where, of course, y'all like to zone in.
17:30Get on that level of, like, very zen.
17:33Cause I need all the energy for tonight.
17:36And even my boys, I need to be home.
17:38But the girls and I be right there with each other.
17:40And we like, you know, hype each other up, pray.
17:42That makes me feel better.
17:43Like, I have some.
17:44He's like, we have some.
17:45His name is Chris, Christopher.
17:46He passed away at 27 years old, um, on a motorcycle.
17:50So, Nick keeps him in her ear.
17:53We love you, Chris.
18:00It is an hour before the show.
18:02I'm starting to feel the little nerves coming in.
18:07As soon as we finish with this hair,
18:09I'm gonna start feeling butterflies
18:11because it's about to be time to hit the stage.
18:13And I know we about to kill it
18:14because we have been rehearsing day and night,
18:1610 hours a day.
18:18So we don't have no choice but to eat it up.
18:23The OMG girls.
18:25The OMG girls.
18:26The OMG girls.
18:27The OMG girls.
