-Joining me now on Zoom is nominee for Latin Artist of 2020 Becky G.
Hey!
-Hi, mama. How are you? -So good to see you. Where are you today?
-I am in Malibu right now.
-Are you writing new music? Is that what I heard?
-This is very true.
I am in the middle of what I call an all-girls, female-empowerment writing camp.
-Oh, how's it going so far?
-Incredible, so much fun.
-Good. You know, we are so excited for your nomination tonight -- Latin Artist of 2020.
You won this last year.
How does winning a PCA feel different from other awards?
-You know, I think, just in general, knowing that this is something that is chosen by the people is what makes it
so unique and so special, because you know that it's all them.
And it's a huge honor for me to be recognized for, you know, my music, but also my connection to my audience.
I think that's what really means the most to me.
So, just to be nominated is enough for me.
-You know, tonight, we are also honoring the People's Icon, Jennifer Lopez.
I know she made a cameo -- I know. Becky from the block back in the day.
What does Jennifer mean to you in terms of your career and the influence she had on you?
-Jennifer is such an incredible person.
She, since a very young age, showed me that the sky is the limit, that you -- to never take "no" as an answer.
She's an incredible overall entertainer.
She's not just a singer. She's a performer.
She's a dancer. She's a fashionista.
She's an entrepreneur. She's a film producer, an actress, and, on top of that, an incredible mother, you know?
I think that, for me, growing up as a young Latina, that was so inspiring for me.
And I think, tonight, you know, is a very special night to celebrate all of the incredible things that
she has accomplished and has yet to accomplish, because we know she's not done.
-No. -She is not.
-More to come, more to come, right?
And one more thing to come here -- we actually have a fan question for you, 'cause, of course, this is the
People's Choice Awards.
We want the fans to ask questions. So, Jess is joining us.
Jess, meet Becky. Go ahead. What's your question, Jess?
-Oh, hi, Becky. Oh, it's so good to finally meet you.
My question for you is -- for your podcast, if you could bring anyone on to interview, who would it be?
-Ooh! Oh, my God. I have the longest list.
When I tell you, shifting from artist to host, I actually learned a lot from amazing women like Giuliana, because
hosting is not easy, okay?
And having my own podcast, I was like, "Man, it's interesting being in the position of the person asking
the questions rather than answering the questions.
And so I have, like, random lists of, like -- I mean, you know, from people in the fashion industry to
health specialists.
I've always wanted to do, like, an episode focused on, like, nutrition.
Like, I like talking about things that affect our community, our Latino community.
So I feel like that's a long list of things that I have brainstormed.
But if I could choose just one person, I mean, I would say Jennifer.
I would have Jennifer on the podcast.
-That's a great answer. -Yep.
-Thank you, Jess, for your question. Becky, so great to see you.
Thank you. We love you. We love seeing you.
And best wishes always, okay?
-Thank you so much. Thank you. -See you soon, see you soon.
