Okay that didn't look like it was done on purpose, and she knew better than to be wearing stilletto heels being almost 6 months pregnant so she's being the dumb ass.

she fell but on her rump- it wasnt that bad- shes ok

A "rump' fall can be lethal when you are prego. Lethal for the baby. I think she should have stopped the show for a few minutes just to assess things and make sure she was ok.

Better yet. Stop the show and go to the hospital and get checked. A whole lotta shit can go wrong.

That definitely wasn't on purpose and she's on heels? Yeah she's the dummy.

EXACTLY!!!!!

That's why I think Prince speech at the BET Awards was directed towards her. I made the same face that he did, when I saw her climb onto that piano. I immediately thought that she's taking unnecessary risks with her own life and the life of her unborn child, for the sake of some perceived relevancy in the music biz and she really doesn't have to do that!

Remember that thread "do recording artists receive health care?"

I'm wondering if Alicia Keys can go on maternity leave soon.

I think people are assuming that she's on heels because she was on heels during the BET awards. The video does not show what type of shoes she is wearing.

Breaking news???

Anywho, she needs to go sit her butt down somewhere until she has the baby. What is she trying to prove?

Ask Clive Davis.

First Whitney touring without the singing vocals she one had before drug problems ruining them. And now Alicia doing high risk performances on the live stage.

I'm telling all of you, there is something very wrong with both pictures.

Hmm... wasn't she on heels at the SHIT.E.T. thing? I didn't watch her performance on the thing or online so I don't know... I hope she wasn't this foolish to try on heels in THIS performance. You got a point though.

First: Not breaking news.

Second: She's stupid for trying to showboat with a baby in the belly. She already crawled her dumb ass on top of the piano on BET, which I think was dangerous and irresponsible. Now she's literally falling on her pregnant ass. Tsk tsk

nobody stopped because she was clearly lip syncing, i guess she gets a pass though.

There defintely appeared to be an "Alicia" track playing. Because her vocals are not interrupted at all. Perhaps she was singing along with that track. Not sure.

artists have clearly been attending the Beyonce school of Sing Bitches, Sing Even If You Fall

I mean there wasn't even any "vibration" in her voice when she hit the floor. No gasp, nothing. Just smooth vocals.

she fell on her ass and the song didnt skip a beat, you didnt even hear a lil chuckle to let everybody know she was ok, nobody moved to check on a pregnant woman? it was definately pre-recorded, which is not a problem for me, i dont like alicia's voice live .im not one of those who bitch about pre-recorded vocals, matter fact there are alot of people who need to use em, but it cant be a double standard.

I was there and I'm sorry but my initial reaction was to laugh at her silly ass. Then I was concerned. But that turned to annoyance when she later climbed up on the gatdamn piano. Then I didn't give a fuck, no better for her.

She climbed on the piano AFTERWARDS?!

Now, I was a lil on tilt but I'm pretty sure it was after she fell on her ass. She had a step stool next to the piano that she used to hop up there. It was all so distastefully annoying. And her voice . . .

Her set was one big

Damn.

Guess she won't be happy until she's rushed off the stage and taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I mean it's just not cute to me at all.

1.People need to stop tripping because she climbed a-top a piano at BET. She's pregnant, not paralyzed, and she was hardly far from the ground. I'm used to being around women who work out and be active during their pregnancies, and what she did wasn't any more dangerous than another pregnant woman climbing a small step ladder to reach the top shelf of her kitchen cupboard.

2. Still, I think it's time for her to sit her happy ass down somewhere before she puts herself in a truly precarious situation. Yet I understand that maybe she's just one of those young women gets the energy jolt mid-pregnancy; she looks to me like she's having one of those happy, giddy, smooth sailing second trimesters...you know the type; there's always that one in the group who hits month 4 and lives the 2nd trimester like its an insert for Fit Pregnancy Magazine, jogging, building cribs from farm shed wood, re-decorating their house and taking jazzercise & shit. I imagine because she's a singer, instead of hanging drape rods, she climbs pianos. I imagine month 7 will knock her on her ass soon enough, though. We won't see her teetering around in platforms and climbing pianos because her ass is going to be too big and too exhausted. She wise up soon enough. Just don't want to see her take any more tumbles in the meantime, though.

What a society we live in today where everything is sensationalised and the important issues are ignored. Take a look at a website called digitalspy where every minor comment by every minor celebrity is news..tragic.

But there are things such as "necessary risks" (ie. climbing up 2 steps on a ladder to get something out of the cupbord), verses un-necessary risks such as jumping up on a piano where you can actually slip off. The height of the top of a piano is higher than the top of a step ladder. You can sit on the top of a step ladder, and your feet still touch the ground. Most people's feet don't touch the ground when they are sitting on top of a piano.

I just think it was un-necessary risk, and she did not have to do all of that. And eventhough she did it once...why keep doing it?

She's suffering from that disease called stupid.

I wish I could say I felt sorry for her, but I have no respect for this woman at all anymore. So she fell. So what? They are saying that she and the baby are fine so why is this news? Pregnant women fall all the time in the everyday world. My grandmother fell off of a bus when she was pregnant with my aunt years before I was born and the baby was born but only lived to be 8 years old and all my grandmother was doing was getting off the bus, not climbing on pianos and prancing around a stage in high heels acting like an irresponsible jackass. She shouldn't be climbing on pianos and strutting around a dark stage with heels on, end of story. I find it totally weird that Alicia has spent most of her career sitting behind a piano not really dancing or moving around much until recent years and she falls, but Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Christina Aguilera were all pregnant on tour and doing real choreography yet none of them ever fell down. Either some people got it and others don't or this is just more bad karma to hit this chick for her recent bad actions...to me it's a little bit of both. Karma can truly be an evil bitch.
