Madonna Takes a Tumble

Now, onto the wardrobe malfunction heard ’round the world – Madonna flying backwards and landing on her ass.  At the Brit Awards, Madonna was singing “Living For Love”, which started with her standing backwards on the top of a staircase in a very long Armani cape.  She was supposed to untie the cape, the dancers were supposed to pull it away, and she would be revealed in….well, some kind of bullfighters outfit.   But in a moment that was either unfortunate or hilarious (depending on your perspective), the timing was off.  While initially the dancers were blamed for pulling the cape too soon, that isn’t what happened.  I’m told from people who were in the rehearsal room, Madonna was very clear about what she wanted and kept screaming, “Pull the cape harder and faster – I want it to be a dramatic moment!”  Well, it certainly was that!  She later blamed the people who dressed her: “Everyone was worried my cape would slide off, so they tied it really tight around my neck.  I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled the silky string, and it wouldn’t come undone.  I had two choices: I could either be strangled or fall.  And I chose to fall.”  Leave it to Madge to once again make the wrong choice.
