Beyonce Falls Down, Goes Boom
By now, most people (or most who'd care, anyway) have heard about the tumble down the stairs Beyonce took at her concert in Orlando on Tuesday. And judging by the number of views on the many videos of the incident -- presumably all posted by the "fans" Beyonce specifically asked not to post the thing -- pretty much everyone who cares has seen it as well.
Seriously. More than a million people have let their fingers do the clicking to watch Beyonce fall down. (I have, too, but that's my job.) If there's one thing that netizens like, it's watching people fall down. That little bit of social observation aside, allow me to say ...
This fall is spectacular.
Beyonce actually manages to fall on her ass, bounce off, and rebound onto her face. Then she gets up and jumps right back into the number. Officially, I'm appalled and concerned, but since her reps have put out the word that she's fine, I can also be impressed as hell. Damn.
