"\n\n Music Blogger readers, I have a confession to make: I have a dark (some might say sick) sense of humor. Nothing gets me laughing like a dramatic fall, my own included--which is great, because I have no sense of balance and trip at least three times a day. \u00A0\n\nSo I've got to give Mariah Carey credit for the graceful way she fell at a recent concert in Singapore, almost into the arms of one of her backup dancers. Classy move, Mariah (and good use of a stage-side assistant).\n\nIt turns out there are a lot of equally amusing videos online: Gaga's crazy shoes cost her her footing all the time, but\u00A0here she is\u00A0stumbling on some really very tame (by her standards, that is) heels in a performance of \"Telephone\" (at 0:13); and here's Katy Perry flailing in the mess she made after her infamous cake dive at the MTV Latin American Awards (from 0:21). \u00A0 By the number of YouTube videos documenting it, seems like\u00A0Teen Vogue's August cover girl, Demi Lovato, has quite a reputation for on-stage diving--here's one of her most brutal faceplants:\n\n\n\nDemi's ex Joe Jonas has also had his fair share of stumbles--there are even fan-made compilation videos out there--but here's one clip of a stumble at the AMAs (though I should note this is less funny even for me because of the whole landing-on-broken-glass deal). Another infamous falling-guy moment: Bret Michaels at the 2009 Tony Awards. Technically this fall is more of a knockout, but still, wow. \u00A0 \u00A0\n\nAs I continued looking, an old-school clip of a Destiny's Child performance quickly became my favorite because I mean, poor Michelle Williams--neither of her bandmates helped?! That's got to hurt more than the fall:\n\n\n\nBut Beyonce's not going to be upstaged even when it comes to falling down. Here's by far the craziest fall clip I've found yet, from an Orlando stop on her 2007 concert tour:\n\n\n\n**\n\n**All that headbanging must have proved discombobulating. . . . \u00A0\n\nHilarious as these all are, they do go to show that the artists in question are all seasoned pros--they jump right back up and keep going without missing more than a couple of beats. \u00A0That's good showmanship for sure.\n\n(Additionally, just for good measure, here's an amusing Tyra Banks chair fall with a porcupine cameo--really.)\n\nWhich celebrity fall takes the cake? Who showed the most professionalism in terms of getting right back into the routine?\u00A0\n\n--ALEX REES"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
