Maybe TMZ was onto something when it was embroiled in that whole "Robo-ho" controversy with Rev. Al Sharpton a couple of weeks back.
I say that only because, when it comes to Beyonce -- she's indestructible.
During her concert last night in Orlando, the 'Irreplaceable' multiple Grammy Award winner took a tumble while performing her single 'Ring The Alarm.'
As you can see in the YouTube clip below, Beyonce remained undaunted and continued her frenzied performance of the song.
Take a looksy. (Quick, SONY has been shutting the clips down as they go up)
Even when she missed a step, she didn't miss a beat.
Now, I've been tracking the Destiny's Child diva's career since I first laid eyes on her 10 years ago at The Sony Club in New York City -- where her record label publicist Yvette Noel-Schure introduced her and the group to members of the media.
One can easily see that she had star power then, but she proved to be one of the most dazzling superstars of her generation with success after success.
And Mrs. Schure has been there every step of the way.
Today, the super-publicist told 'The BV Newswire' that Beyonce is doing "fine" since her tumble. "It was a mere spot on an otherwise sensational, flawless show," she said. "It was a case of her coat's hem getting caught in her shoes, but Miss Knowles picked herself right up ... showing to all that she is the best."
Unlike others (no names), Beyonce continues to role with the punches -- without ever having to go rehabilitation, the hospital for dehydration nor jail.
She's built to last.

Tierra what you said was f--ked up. How harsh can you be what if she would have really hurt herself. You really and truly need to check yourself. Cause obviously you don't have a f--king heart. You must be young and dumb.

#1 what has B done to you personally to find delight and gratification when she falls? Why do black women hate so affectionately? Like cancer black woman hate just destroys the potential we have as a group to do greater things. Please let's take a Hater 20 year sabbatical.

That was even funnier than Michelle on 106 & Park and Kelly last week in concert. One thing about all of the girls is at least they get back up and keep going and I'm glad they didn't get hurt. Put the ridiculous high heels away and dance in normal dance shoes it is not worth the risk of injury falling on stage.

I'm so glad she wasn't hurt!! Beyonce is a true entertainer. I'd noticed scraps and bruises all over her legs from hard work. She's a star with millions and her work ethic is that of us hard working blue-collar folks. You have to respect that!!!

I'm not the biggest Beyonce fan, but you have to respect her focus. I heard the show was bananas, and the way she addressed the fall was gracious and sincere. For a moment the "superwoman" was human and that's okay, besides, 'Ring the Alarm' is a hot track! Good luck Bey with the rest of the tour, and please make sure you ice your knees :-)
