Renaissance World Tour: 'I saw Beyoncé five times in a month'
By Jordan KennyBBC Newsbeat
Getting a shout-out from your hero in front of More Than 60,000 people is something Most People can only dream about.
But for Bilal Rouabah it became a reality when Beyoncé pointed right at him and said: " You motivate me, I see you're back again. "
To be fair to Queen Bey, she would've done well to miss superfan Bilal - it was his fifth time at her Renaissance World Tour in less than a month.
And he obviously captured the once-in-a-lifetime moment on video, which has been viewed.
So how do you react when Beyoncé recognises you at her gig?
" I completely lost it, I couldn't believe it. So I just fell To My knees screaming, " Bilal tells BBC Newsbeat.
" It was a really special moment And One that I will remember for the rest of My Life .
" I still can't believe it. I'm Still Processing the whole thing. "
Bilal saw Beyoncé Three Times in London last week, after he'd already been to The First show of The Tour in Stockholm and another in Cardiff.
So many questions, mainly: " How did you get tickets for five gigs? "
" As many phones or laptops as you can, I always ask The Help of My Friends as well, " he says.
" They are hard to get, you have to be patient first of all because you might not get them on The First try so you have to keep persevering. "
Bilal admits it wasn't cheap but says he has been saving for years.
" We had a long time to get ready for it. She hasn't toured for a few years now and I couldn't wait to see her perform again.
" When you're a fan of Beyoncé you have to learn How To save in advance, so I definitely have my Beyoncé savings accounts.
" VIP tickets are expensive And Then you have to pay for flights and hotels and merchandise. So I would say a couple of thousand easily. "
Bilal , who is from France but has lived in London for Six Years , has now seen Beyoncé a staggering 22 times but says it " never gets boring".
After five shows in 26 days he's " done for now" but says The Renaissance tour has been special for him.
" I get to just enjoy myself, Let Go of all my problems and meet a lot of people in the BeyHive and Get Lost in The Music , " the 34-year-old says.
" And that's what it's all about, that's what Beyoncé wants. "
And he has a message for the megastar.
" I would thank her for everything that she does. She's been so inspiring and she's been a constant presence in my whole life basically.
" Everything she does for people who feel invalidated and marginalised, I think The Renaissance album gives us the confidence to Just Be ourselves. "
