VIDEO: ALICIA KEYS FALLS ON STAGE DURING ESSENCE PERFORMANCE

July 4th, 2010

Singer Alicia Keys fell on stage during her Essence Music Festival set on Saturday night (July 3). Even though she recovered quickly, the pregnant star should be more careful while performing (we all saw the BET AWARDS). Check put the video above.

    Her doctor or whoever really needs to tell her to stop with the heels.
    I’m sure the crowd wouldn’t give a damn if she came out in ballerina shoes or sneakers.
    LiLi , c’mon now.
    Glad she’s okay though.

    Yeah, she really does need to be careful…even if she’s wearing heels, maybe she should lower the inches lol. Props for still performing while pregnant tho, cuz I know my ass would be chillin somewhere…especially if I’m only 3 or 4 months away from giving birth. Hell, I know it’s grueling going place to place performing when you ain’t pregnant lol.

    non of us would exist if a baby was harmed with every little (and yes that was an insignificant fall on her behind)

    Alicia should remain unconcerned with outsiders opinions.

    Carry on.

    Hope everything is ok, but that probably would have been the only part of the show that would have kept me awake. It looked like people were going to sleep in there.

    “did she mean to do that?” -random girl in video <<<< LMAO

    And the only reason A. Keys still performing throughout her pregnancy is so she can raise some funds to help her boo thang pay his unpaid taxes.. #justsayin’

    I thought I was the only person who remembered that she couldn’t walk that well in heels in the first place!

    Look y’all PLATFORM HEELS, THREE INCH HEELS are NOT SUPPOSED to be worn DURNIG PREGNANCY!

    Stupid! Put some flats on! Or at least wedges!

    OMG

    WOW that was scary. I guess I feel for her even more now that I am preggers. I really hope she is okay. I do think this is a wake up call for her, and perhaps she will take it easy. It’s funny how when a woman gets pregnant suddenly she thinks she has something to prove. Prove to yourself that you can take it EASY!

    She needs to calm down with the heel. She could barely walk in them before the pregnancy anyway. COME ON ALICIA! Be careful.

    @ Moni
    No wedges. I have a friend that broke her ankle in wedges and she isn’t even pregnant. I say perform in flats, ballet flats, hell even barefoot. She doesn’t have to be bouncing all over the place. She is known for sitting behind the piano. This is the time to do it. Alicia get back to your roots and sit down and belt out the song girl. You can hire dancers if you want the show to be more energetic.

    I have to agree with #18, #24, and #42
    Alicia has been VERY out of character lately. Something is def up with this chick (other than her being pregnant of course…) You would think Alicia would have more sense than to be up on stage in 6 inch heels during her first pregnancy… Beyonce wouldn’t even attempt that and that girl loves her damn heels (lmao @ Bey Bey rocking heels with ANY and EVERYthing)

    #3 GUESSING THAT IS WHAT UR MAMA SAID ABOUT YA…………KEPT SAYING AFTER U WERE BORN. TO PRODUCE SOMETHING SO IGNORANT SHE HAD TO HAVE REGRETS. A BABY IS A BABY FROM THE MOMENT IT IS CONCEIVED. THAT IS WHY WE SAY THE WORD BABY. ANYWAY……….ALICIA TAKE OFF THOSE DAG GONE HEELS AND SIT UR TAIL DOWN SOMEWHERE. U HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PERFORM AFTER THE BABY.

    That just taught her a lesson to go and sit her ass down…….. she is trying too hard to show that she is the flyest pregnant woman on earth by someone else husband. Alicia used to be my girl but her attitude in the past year has shown a very ugly person, she’s been flaunting and acting all cocky. She is no longer humble, do you remember her take on Lil Mama on the morning show? Saying on air well you guys like her than that’s good and basically said well I don’t that opened my eyes to her at that point as well as all the following actions.

    She’s never been a performer and now all of sudden she wants to be a pregnant Beyonce’… trying too hard and is one reason why she teamed up with Jay-Z so that people would get off of her back about her shadiness that she’s putting down and has seemed to of worked for most but not me. She sold her soul as well, she done lost her mind over a scrappy lil man..
