The Extra List: 5 Shocking Stage Falls Caught on Tape!

February 09, 2012 American Idol

Most professional artists know the pitfalls, so to speak, of performing on stage, but 16-year-old Symone Black, an "American Idol" Season 11 hopeful, unfortunately had her first taste of public stumbling when she apparently fainted and fell off the stage during the FOX show's Hollywood auditions Wednesday.


The credits rolled as a medic was called for and the rest of the audience looked appropriately stunned. Word has it Black was treated for dehydration and is doing fine, and will continue on the show this week.

Here are five other dramatic tumbles from some top performers, including Beyoncé, Pink - and even "Idol" judge Steven Tyler!
