RnB singer Miguel has had to defend himself over the Billboard Awards performance in which he jumped over the crowd trying to do a stunt, but fell on a fan as a result of his mis-timed jump. Critics wanted to know the reason behind Miguel not stopping his performance to make sure the fan that he landed an accidental leg drop on was unharmed. In the interview, Miguel defended the reason for not stopping the performance because of professionalism to his craft of being a singer, which calls for an individual to finish the performance then check to see if the fans are in good medical health.
“Honestly, I’ll take you through the whole thing. Day one, the day of, I was mortified. First of all, you have to remember I’m still human so my natural inclination is to be, ‘Are you okay?’ That’s the natural thing to do. But the professional part is, ‘You have to finish the show.’ Finish and then deal with everything. Had I stopped the show, had I stopped it, it would have been even worse. It would have been extremely worse, on national television — it would have been mayhem. So, finish the show, rush to the girl, soon as the camera pops off, rush to the girl, ‘Are you okay? Come on – I escort her myself, never mind who’s around, ‘Get out of the way, we need help.’ … After making sure she was okay, the producers asked if I wanted to do an interview and I’m like, ‘She just…’ You know what I’m saying?”-Miguel to Kiss F Muk
Miguel recently went on a twitter rant that called African-Americans too judgmental because of the situation that happened at the Billboard awards. For more information on the story go to SOHH Dot Com: http://www.sohh.com/2013/05/miguel_defends_continuing_set_after_brut.html
