Slog - Comments on Behold the Power of Beyonce http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/behold_the_power_of_beyonce 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...

And you can watch it here.

WTF?! All I was doing was posting every link I could to the video. Rude.

Even when YouTube advises 'This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sony BMG' the video still plays.

Bam.

This is news?

Aren't there any more crazy suicidal artist losers out there to report on?

She's all types of awesome.

Turn your audio on. She isn't lip syncing.

Probably due to falling a lot.

On this video from a few years back, another member of Destiny's Child takes a tumble.

I love how the Child in the middle kind of glances to her right like, "Oh well".

The video is crap, but the part where she falls is actually pretty clear. Hehe.

You are getting SO BAD at reposting shit from other blogs, without even bothering to mention who you ripped it off from.

Still, that god awful outfit and huge mass of swinging hair extentions is pretty funny...

Also, Beyonce falling down stairs is timeless.
