Watching footage of celebrities falling is a guilty pleasure we really should all indulge in. In light of a plethora of memorable music industry mishaps caught on camera, we're counting down the top tumbles, scariest slips and funniest foot fumbles ever seen.

13. Beyonce
Florianópolis Live Show, February 2010

Queen B literally fell from glory during a concert in Brazil. Watch Beyonce's booty-bouncing knock her off balance at :30.




12. Alicia Keys
Essence Music Festival Live Show, July 2010

Alicia gave 'Fallin'' a whole new meaning when she took a perilous pregnant tumble on stage. We're glad she and her then-future baby boy came out on top.




11. Jimmy Buffet
Sydney Live Show, January 2011

There is arguably nothing funny about a 64-year-old man falling on stage. Country star Jimmy Buffet bit it so hard during a concert in Australia that he was hospitalized. Ouch!




10. Christina Aguilera
Grammy Awards Performance, February 2011

Christina Aguilera's stiletto stumble after an Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammys was tabloid gold following her National Anthem flub at the Super Bowl, just one week before.




9. Mariah Carey
Singapore Live Show, September 2010

Mariah Carey was in the middle of crowd hyping when her overhead clap caused her to collapse to the floor. Like a true diva, MiMi's entourage swept her up and got her back on her fabulous feet in no time.




8. Musiq Soulchild
New York City Live Show, February 2011

R&B singer Musiq Soulchild danced himself right off the edge of the stage during a show at Madison Square Garden. Peep Musiq's plummet at :10!




7. P!nk
Nurnberg Live Show, July 2010

P!nk may have taken up trapeze tricks as her new hobby, but the singer-turned-acrobat was taken down by the wired hula hoops at :46. She later tweeted from a German ambulance, "I am embarrassed and very sorry. I'm in ambulance now but I will b fine."




6. Rihanna
Loud Tour Live Show, Edmonton, June 2011

Rihanna was brought to her knees during a performance of 'What's My Name' at a show in Canada. "Oh na na" no! Later that same week, RiRi suffered a second stage fall during her concert in Toronto.




5. Robbie Williams
Leeds Festival Live Show, September 2006

Robbie Williams wiped out on stage and proceeded to give a full on explanation for the fall to the audience from the floor, rather than continue with the song. "That's a bit embarrassing. That will teach me for being cocky," he admits before labeling himself a "t---."




4. Shania Twain
CMT Awards, June 2011

Country music queen Shania Twain fell from grace while making an entrance at the Country Music Television awards show. "I don't need a stunt double," she joked just moments after.




3. Lady Gaga
Houston Live Show, April 2011

Lady Gaga is known for her crazy stage stunts and live show shock tactics, but sometimes the best stage moments are the unplanned mishaps. Gaga's tumble from atop her piano bench is one such blooper.




2. Joe Jonas
American Music Awards Performance, November 2008

During what should have been a smooth stage entrance, Jonas Brother Joe hit a speed bump, tripping over the frame of a window and landing hands-first into a floor full of broken glass. Ouch!




1. Beyonce
Orlando Live Show, July 2007

Beyonce lands on our list, yet again, for failing to plant her heels on the steps of a seemingly mile-high staircase on the live stage. One misstep and Queen B fell from her throne and went tumbling down ... and down ... and down!

Well it was bound to happen. Pretty amazing though how most get up like nothing happened.

This should include:
Sonny Rollins—He broke an ankle! It's in the documentary about his career.
Leroi Moore from Dave Matthews band fell holding a bari-sax at Carnegie Mellon 1991. This is a lazy list. Don't call them biggest celebrity falls. Just call them "a handful of celebrity falls that weren't too hard to look up, and that mostly includes pop princesses."

If you spend your life on stage you're going to take a spill once in a while. Law of averages

So, who needs more proof the majority of these people lip synch? Anyone in the history of the world fall down stairs and not yell? Most people trip and fall without stairs and there is some kind of verbal ejaculation. They have a microphone in front of their faces. No ooof or owe, or ****!. Nope Music just keeps right on going along with the lyrics. Prefect volume too considering the microphone is nowhere near their faces,
