About the Time Miguel Dropkicked a Fan at the Billboard Awards
I did not watch the Billboard Awards yesterday because I frankly couldn’t muster any dambs to give about it. I didn’t e’em realize it was coming on til I saw a tweet about it around 4pm. Still. No dambs were given.
Anywho, when it wrapped, I started hearing about the performances, especially Miguel’s. During his set where he sang “Adorn,” he leapt from one part of the stage to another. Fans were between the stages, and it went more than slightly awry.
Shoutout to Grantland.com for this GIF
LMAO! WUT?!?
First of all, he approached it like he was in a long jump competition. The fact that he landed on his butt is hilarious because was that the plan all along? He shoulda tried to land on his feet, like a cat with a cowlick and too much hair gel.
When he was at rehearsal and he did that jump, was this the result then too? If it was, what made him think it’d be a good idea to try it LIVE and fail so poorly? If he did NOT rehearse this (which is what this looks like), what made him think it’d be a good idea to try it LIVE?
See a theme here?
Miguel is no athlete. The space between those stages doesn’t seem like TOO much. How could he miss the target by so much? He shoulda been at the tracks for weeks leading up to this show getting his hops together. People don’t practice no more all they do is leap.
But most importantly, the poor fan who he basically dropkicked through the goalposts of life and slammed her head on the stage. OUCH! That girl came to the Billboard Awards to cheer, not for her face to be used as a slap bracelet. That ish musta hurt like hell. GAHTDAMB! Miguel assured us all that she didn’t get seriously hurt though.
So no. He didn’t rehearse this. He got caught up in the spirit of the music and decided to leap between stages like he was some R&B Spiderman. No sir. No. Outchea overestimating his abilities. And Khyati might be okay but I bet her dignity’s hurt. Your face doesn’t meet the floor and you walk away feeling like your day went well. Nope.
Oh Miguel. Bless your heart for having the FAIL moment of the night. The moral of this story is: If your pants are too tight, don’t try acrobatics. Don’t do something you didn’t rehearse on the live telecast.
It’s a bird. It’s a plane! NO, IT’S FALLING MIGUEL! O____O
Did y’all watch the BillBoard Awards? Do you think Khyati needs to be compensated for her tough time? Also, am I the only one that laughed a little?
Edit: On 15th view and because of my good eyed commenters, I see that there’s a 2nd fan who was dropkicked in the process too. Miguel’s legs were doing the footwork while in the air and they came down on two innocent by-jiggers. One was dropkicked and the other was teabagged. They both have my sympathies. Chile…
Check out Rembert Browne’s post on it on Grantland. His take is always hilarity.

Funniest…..stuff…..ever!
Hilarious!
Man, that fool was a hotttt mess!!
I saw this video spoof of it this morning! http://youtu.be/nO9y39GWWz4 — freaking funny!
I laughed harder dennamug!!! I feel bad for poor Khyati, cuz she sho’ nuff didn’t see that coming. I hoped Miguel gave her something for her pain and suffering besides Tylenol and Advil. If that was me we would have been fighting!
LOL! Right. Who’da thunk that he couldn’t clear the 2 feet between stages? Sing, Miguel. Athlete you are not.
I am laughing so hard at this right now that I feel like I was nut-whipped too!
Good morrow, friends… Now, what we won’t be seeing is Khyati’s face today. Wannaknowwhyyy? Cause it’s bruised. I bet she look like RhiRhi on that faithful summer night. Dude’s boot heels look like bout 4 inches of BLOCK heel. What face can escape lookin’ beat from that?
I was cracking up at R&B spiderman. WTF was he doing?? Too much, I guess.
He was doing the most with the least.
No, I did not laugh a little – I hollered! Miguel has already proven he has the agility of snail but to take an innocent bystander down with him? And the fact that he grabbed the wrong girl when he tried to recover is humorous – Sir, the victim is on the floor. Luvvie, please find Khyati for a comment!
Khyati is prolly somewhere nursing her dignity back to health cuz…
Nawl, Khyati is lookin’ like Quasimodo retnam! And somebody, I say, SOMEBODY In that chile’s family is bout to post a pic if Miguel dont come up off some stacks like yesterday. In the words of Trinidad, “don’t bleee me, jeh watch”.
That gif has reduced my life force by 79.3%.
I have no energy left to laugh…I’m just sitting here cackling with my eyes like a mental patient!
The speed and force with which he applied his nuts to that poor girl’s chin makes adult movie stars jelly…
“The speed and force with which he applied his nuts to that poor girl’s chin”
LMAOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am HOLLERING at you!
I gave my damb away earlier in the day so I was tapped out by the time it came on. I read a few posts on my fb feed & waited until somebody let me know that Prince was coming on next. Then i tuned in. Then I started seeing memes all over & comments about how some poor chile was violated by a flying singer & may be paralyzed. Glad that was an over statement. But Miguel may lose some dough over this. She may have seemed fine but she may have been in shock. Let’s she how she feels this morning.
What about the other girl on the right? The one who took a loafer to the forehead? Let’s remember people, TWO girls experienced the Miguel FAIL of 2013.
Anyone else notices that the girl next Khyati also took a boot heel to the face. Knocked her glasses clean off the stage.
YES! Everyone is completely missing the other girl. Po’ thang. Some of us gotta be Kelly & Michelle, we can’t all be Bey.
*close casket* I’m SCREAMING over here! LMAOOOOOOOOO
Well played, Jill. Well played. *puffs cigar* *folds*
Jill, just so you know I quit you and everything you stand for……#whymusticry
Oh Jill…
I feel bad for the girl he landed on and the girl on the right that got a shoe to the face.
Don’t get me wrong – I like Miguel. But not 10 seconds after I told my husband, “You almost need to be on acid to really get into Miguel’s performances,” he leaps (three-quarters of the way) across the stage like a little pocket-sized super hero and I fell. to. pieces. Wearing the tiniest man heels I’ve ever seen. Y’all.
We watched it in slow motion no less than 10 times, all while wiping full blown tears from our eyes. Somebody oughta write that girl a big fat check because the elevator-drop-down-to-ground-level maneuver she did after impact was more than I could handle. I am glad she’s okay though cause it was not looking good for her.
*This* comment right here! LOLOLOLOLOL!
I would have fell down and acted like my back was broke ok! #lawsuit #idabeenpaid
If this wasn’t the funniest response I’ve seen to the Miguel incident, I don’t know what was then. Luvvie you are he-larious! Here is my favorite part of your post “He got caught up in the spirit of the music and decided to leap between stages like he was some R&B Spiderman”…OMG the visual of him leaping and you saying he was a R&B Spiderman is bout to get me fired for laughing so intensely at work. Miguel is wrong on so many levels for trying that ignant ish! Who does that? FOOL!
Nobody in their right mind should try to leap, jump or even hop-scotch with some tight azz skinny jeans on. Miguel, Imma have to introduce you to sweat pants if you keep this ish up…
Sadly, I didn’t laugh when I initially saw his performance (via YouTube)…my humor dam burst open later.
In the full video, you see him “recover” after the performance and then continue down the stage and keep singing. One camera though, has such a wide angle that you can see fans off to the left alternately trying to help the victim up from the floor AND still cheering for the song.
There’s one guy, in particular, who looks like he’s saying, “Damn baby, can I help? Shit this my song though. Wait, is she bleeding? Man, this fool is really hittin’ these notes! Ah hell, is she unconscious?! Oh well, I’m finna be on tv nigga!”
THIS is what gave me life.
Hilarious!!!
A Slap Bracelet?!? LAWD reading that and watching the gif sent me into tears all over again.
I have watched this video and the .gif no less than 10 times and am reduced to tears each and every time. Now,the only thing I can think of is lotus powerbomb
YOU ARE GOING TO GET ME FIRED!!!!! “Lotus Powerbomb”?!?!?!?!?! #flatline
Bwahahahahaha I busted out laughing at work!!! I am crying.
Now **looootus powerbomb** is on repeat in my head
Somebody posted on Facebook: *to the tune of Adorn* “These heels, can’t wait to hit your chin”
It was at this point I simply lost my life!! #Flatlines *________________ *
I know I shouldn’t read your stuff at work but I continue to do this to myself. Folks looking at me like “why is she laughing so much?” I just about died. Poor chile. She wasn’t ready.
I hope this Miguel dude is well insured because I feel a lawsuit coming on. Hell I want to sue for having to witness his monkeyfuck attempt at flying. LMAO! What was he thinking? Oh, wait, he wasn’t!
I am in tears right now from your review of Miguel’s unplanned WWE moves. When I intially saw it I thought he was stage diving feet first. But regardless of what he was trying to do, he should have stuck with getting jiggy with his mic stand and called it a day.
He may have rehearsed, but no one would volunteer to stand in the pit to show that he actually has to leap, not just skim across it like a puddle. minor oversight…
Okay, so I missed it but I promise this recap gave me everything. Everythang I tell you and the comments got me crying.
Y’all should see the memes they have of this moment….pure comedy!!!!!!!
Miguel, i really do love you like a fat kid love cake, but um-er-uh, you ain’t plan that out right and it came out very badly….Thankfully nether of those ladies pressed charges but I mean one girl did get to feel the lucky charms, so……
I didn’t laugh at first. Especially when the girl on the right slumped down and was never seen again. I was worried about those girls.
Today, however……….
And in this episode of doing the most with the least news……….
Bruh what were you thinking this was fail of the decade. Sometimes all you need to do is sing stop being extra. im grateful tho cause it spawned meme after meme of pure hilarity y’all gotta check some of the out
Sidebar have y’all seen some of the meme’s of drake in the dada suit looking like someone’s drunk uncle…too funny
YES!!! Those are even funnier than the Miguel ones!
I damn sure laughed more than a little! I’ve been laughing allll day about it!
You had me #dead at: “Your face doesn’t meet the floor and you walk away feeling like your day went well. Nope.”
Valid point! Haha
See….ain’t nobody got time for failed leaps sir. Have several \_
Love this post! *Hysterics ensue*
He “adorned” two girls at the same time…good job Miguel
Now you better cut it out! iHOLLERED
Luvvie!! This post has me IN TEARS! I slid off of my chair and laid my body on the floor like burdens by the riverside! Heavenly father… what is air?!?!
I know that a real performer is supposed to engage the audience but when you’re slamming your scrotum on people’s necks, fair to say that maybe you’ve gone a little too far in the name of entertament!
He’s lucky that wasn’t me because I would’ve punched him in his #Aztec right on national tv. Then I would head to the courthouse on Monday morning because somebody needs to pay these student loans since I didn’t win the Powerball.
He gave one of them the powerball, but something tells me she doesn’t feel like a winner!
*gives up the ghost*
I was hoping you’d write about this. I hope someone writes a gospel stage play about this titled “Your Legs Too Short to Leap the Audience”. I hope Khyati sues the pomade off his wannabe Rocketeer arse. That’s all I want.
And will it star Christopher Williams & Robin Givens?
If so, I will get my tickets today.
OK, so I hope you get really nice paychecks, because when I lose my job from hollerin at you, I’m gon need some RENT money!
I was temporarily unable to breath upon reading this! Was that your intent???
You. Said. Pomade. POMADE!!! *cries-dying-laughing*
I am here just cackling to death!! I can’t even swallow my food. Coworker keeps asking if I am ok. lmfao.
Luvvie….stop posting stuff like this at lunch time!! Gonna have me choking on my food.
here’s my theory Miguel seen Chris Brown perform and say hey look at that ninja, i can do that i wanna be a power ranger too! he failed to realize to that he is a kebbler elf and his legs are to short to karate! he needed to have a seat sadly it was on that poor girls head
yes, it was funny! But that girl is lucky she wasn’t decapitated. IJS.
Adorn is not even a song that is worthy of a jump so I don’t know what the hell he thought he was doing! It’s a slow jam. WTF? That poor baby who got her glasses knocked off never got back up. She was on the ground and the crowd was like “Eff it…WE ON TV!” Poor girl probably got stomped on. I’m sure after the adrenaline wore off that both of them were hurtin’ for certain! He needs to just go on and settle out of court now. I’m sure you’re right Luvvie….her dignity HAS to be hurt after that. She prolly didn’t even go to the awards for his ass. She wanted to see Taylor Swift!
Y’all got me in here squeeling like a lil’ piglet! These comments is RICH! Especially the one about “what is air?” I love it! A few things I’m weak about:
1. Look at the white dude with the longish hair on the left side of the stage. Watch this dude hold his applause to see if Miguel makes it. Mouf is WIDE OPEN when he dont. But this sucka claps ENNWEIGHS! Remind me of Cedric in Kings of Comedy when he was the sports announcer for the golf tournament: …annnnnnndd here he goes…. Got damn, Dawg! You almost had that shit, Mayne! You almost had it!
2. Errbody faces goes quickly from Wow!!!excitement) to SHAT!!! WHAT tha FOCK man!
3. You see the black girl on the left holding up both her hands and as he comes over, BAM! Knocks it right out. She’s balling up her fist like it hurts. (I smell class action hur)
4. Miguel face when he realizes he’s sittin’ on a girl’s face and not the stage! PRICELESS! I get the feeling that sittin’ on a woman’s face might not be something he ever, Ever, EVER planned to do *smirk*
5. Dude with the red baseball cap turned backwards and white shirt… Givin’ me LIFE! Look at how he just KNEW Miguel won’t go make it. He just gripped his arms together real tight and squeezed like “EEEeeeeeeek!”
6. The girl in the white on the right side…
7. “Two chicks at the same time.” That’s what I’d do if I made a million dollars and became a famous singer. Two chicks at the same time. (Office Space reference)
8. I have one question and only one. Did this nigga e’em practice?! I think I know the answer.
9. Anybody notice how tall them boot heels are. This negro is a undercover Keebler and umma need him to offer some Fudge Stripes and Rainbow Chocolate Chips Deluxe as consolation to all involved!
Lemme just say, that girl was lucky she aine have on no wig. Cause she woulda been baldhead scallywag AND blind on national TV. Lawd, deez chirrin’ and they cockamamey schemes! Can anybody just sang a GAHTDAMB song anymo’? WTF!! was he thinkin’ Where is legal? Shit, where WAS legal when they planned this shit. Do the performers just sign a form accepting all responsibility if shit goes wrong during their performance? Is every man for him/herself? I haz queschens! Artists need to stay in their lane. And that pompadour is brangin’ foaf Little Richard. Miguel, is that the image you bringin to the game? In all his babyhair goodness, I knows the boy meant well. But damn. Save that clown shit for the BET music awards next time, yo. BET Music Awards: Where all half-assed, budget restrained, poorly planned music award shows go to die.
You know what?!?!?!?!?!?! I’m about to get hauled out of my job for screaming at you! iCant iHollered iLive…..
Try INTERNATIONAL TV…I’m in Canada, eh! But seriously, I WILL get fired ’cause this isn’t what they pay me for!!??!!? lol #CantStopLaughing
Serious question…is Khyati the one who was Hulk Hogan’d or the one who took the boot to the face?
[…] was the first time some people noticed. I’m a fan. Prince can do no wrong in my eyes. He could let some lady’s face cushion his fall like his wanna be, Miguel. And I still wouldn’t speak an uttering word. Lol. Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu introduced […]
I didn’t read all the comments above, but did anyone notice how that blonde chick was only concerned for like half a second and then turned to get her some Miguel lovin’!
SHAD-DAY!!! I mean common decency! She let homegirl slide to the floor without a second thought! No one else in the audience paid her no mind either. She could have been down there unconscious for all they cared.
I didn’t know that an awards show had aired last night. This is the first time that I’ve heard about Miguel’s leap of ill-advised faith.
Once I did an ocular viewing of that gif, it seems as if my lungs had stopped paying its bills because the air had ran out. I couldn’t breathe.
this was probably the first time Kanye laughed all month.
I don’t know what was funnier…the fall itself or the slander that immediately followed on Instagram & twitter
look up @sktv and myself @_just_bee on Instagram & you’ll see what I mean lol
Baby he should have got up writing checks. This needed to be handled by him or one of him reps within minutes. The longer he gives him victims (as they will be labeled in the complaint) to think about it along with us (the witnesses) the more he will pay. Plus… I totally see #BBMA totally not backing him because he clearly didn’t practice this.
Khyati… is not okay until she is paaaaaaaiiiiiid. That is all.
When I read “R&B Spiderman” I cackled so loud I almost lost my Chipotle!! I’m done wichu…….for now. Lurv your blog!!
Miguel looks to be getting in some serious trouble. Khyati’s lawyer is now claiming Khyati has suffered what appears to be brain damage in the wake of the incident and that Khyati is waiting for test results to confirm.
Yup. and I feel sad for Khyati because that hit she took did look like it hurt. I really hope she doesn’t suffer permanent damage from Miguel’s failed attempt at being a superhero.
