Jennifer Lopez Falls Video: J Lo Falls on Stage at AMAs

Adam Lambert Falls During His Performance at AMAs as Well -- but the Performances Trump the Distractions

Jennifer Lopez fell down at the 2009 American Music Awards Sunday evening and everyone is searching for the video. With a full troupe of dancers, Jennifer Lopez got about two-thirds through the boxing-related performance of her song, "Louboutins," the first single to be released from her latest album, when she slipped and fell. She got right back up. She danced on, barely missing a beat, like nothing had even occurred. So what's the big deal? It seems that everyone is curious to see J-Lo fall -- and are searching for the video -- for some odd reason, so three of the top trending topics on Google.com are related to Jennifer Lopez' fall and/or the video of her performance at the 2009 American Music Awards.

Which is a shame, really, because Jennifer Lopez' performance was just short of fantastic. For fans of dance, it was well-choreographed and, except for the one miscue, well executed. So if one is looking for J-Lo in some ludicrous pratfall or laid out on stage in some full-tilt horizontal meeting with the ground, the video will be a disappointment. Lopez' shows her professionalism and simply goes on. If it hadn't been caught on camera, only the people lucky enough to see the performance in person would have noted the fall.

But it was caught on camera and now it is on YouTube. It has become a viral video.

And if one is looking simply to see J-Lo hit the ground, one is in luck. She does that, but not so inelegantly that it is worth more than a passing mention. Truly, the only thing that seems to have occurred is: the fall kept a really good dance routine and singing performance from being perfect and it seems to have generated a lot of undue attention on the internet.

But if that equates into singles and albums sells, J-Lo might not mind so much. No doubt her handlers, producers, and distributors are loving every second that the searches for the video of the performance remain a trending topic.

Will.I.am of the Black Eyed Peas told Us magazine after the American Music Awards that it showed that J-Lo was a professional. "That shows she's a true entertainer," he said. "It doesn't matter how you fall -- just how you get up. She got up."
