Celeb Behold the Power of Beyonce
posted by on July 26 at 10:39 AM
During a concert Tuesday night in Orlando, Beyonce followed a stint of ferocious, hair-whipping dance with a face-first plunge down some stairs.
It was an amazing tumble, as those of us lucky to see yesterday’s YouTube footage can attest. Minutes after watching the video, I tried to post in on Slog—but it had been suddenly removed and seems to be gone for good, which is a shame, as nothing humanizes a glamorous, freakishly beautiful superstar like a face-first tumble down some stairs, and Beyonce’s post-tumble recovery (she popped right back up and kept on dancing) was the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen her do.
But apparently, Beyonce (or perhaps Jay-Z) is so powerful she can tell YouTube what to do….UPDATE! Tireless Slog commenter Mr. Poe directed me to still-active YouTube footage of the tumble, which you can enjoy (for now) below.
I don't think I've ever admitted how much I actually loved Crazy In Love.
And you can watch it here.
Freakishly beautiful? No. Boring/generic? Yes.
The more important question to be asking, Mr. Schmader, is how Sony BMG can claim copyright over a fan-filmed cell phone video and use this as justification for a DMCA takedown on YouTube.
Oh no! Your comment was snagged by our spam filter and cannot be published.
WTF?! All I was doing was posting every link I could to the video. Rude.
You can watch it everywhere. Even when YouTube advises 'This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony BMG' the video still plays.
Bam.
Nice one, Poe. Looks like a giraffe hit by a dart from a wildlife helicopter.
So, beyonce lip syncs?
This is news?
Aren't there any more crazy suicidal artist losers out there to report on?
The thing that's making me laugh the most is her hair while she's slamdancing. She's all types of awesome.

Turn your audio on. She isn't lip syncing.
She most definately is, unless she can continue to hold a tune while face down on the stairs.
Hmm, looks like she definitely learned a bit from Shakira, even if she's still way too stiff. Probably due to falling a lot.
Beyonce is no stranger to falling on stage.
On this video from a few years back, another member of Destiny's Child takes a tumble.

Is it just me or does she look like the lead singer from Twisted Sister?
SD: that is absolutely one of my favorite videos in the history of viral videos. I love how the Child in the middle kind of glances to her right like, "Oh well".
Here's one that still works. The video is crap, but the part where she falls is actually pretty clear. Hehe.
a chink in the armor of perfection.
I [heart] Beyonce.
You know they had to crazy glue that hair on so she could whip it around like that.
haha, this is HIGH-larious!! All of the videos have been taken down!!! Luckily I saw it on the noon news today!! hahaaha I can't believe the local news covered and showed it!!
David, if we already watched it all day online, & then it was on E! that night, it's too late for you to be posting it on SLOG the next day. You are getting SO BAD at reposting shit from other blogs, without even bothering to mention who you ripped it off from.
I finally got to see this video that hasn't been taken down yet, and it didn't seem that big of a big, actually sort of punk how she just gets back up and keeps going. Still, that god awful outfit and huge mass of swinging hair extentions is pretty funny...
Ka-Chunk, please give me examples of my alleged failure to credit sources.
Also, Beyonce falling down stairs is timeless.
