You Picked Me Up When I Was Down

I didn’t want to talk about the K-Ci and JoJo performance that’s been making the rounds all over the internet these days, because I figured there was no challenge in making jokes about a grown man falling down during his performance. Then, I actually watched it, and realized that no jokes are necessary!

The funniest thing about this clip in my opinion is that during the part where JoJo is hugging K-Ci and holding on for dear life, you can hear the music in the background playing “You picked me up when I was down.”     

Does that make me an insensitive jackass? Ah well. I’ve been called worse…

    Which one is JoJo again? Lol anyway – I would have been highly upset had my brother kept singing while I was passed out in the back. Then as soon as i had the strength I would have kicked his ass for making me wave to the crowd when I needed to see a doctor.

    @ KinIISin and CurlyQ, Yeah, that’s worse than the clip where Michelle from Destiny’s Child fell down during a performance and Kelly Rowland just stepped over her and kept on singing. I think I would have called out K-Ci backstage!

    Then again, K-Ci did try to explain things away, saying in an interview that it was a combination of exhaustion and epilepsy…although it looked more like it was due to a combination of lord-knows-what and Hennessey!

    The fact that K-Ci kept it moving tells me this hasn’t been the fist time JoJo passed out. Mary J. Blige must be breathing a sigh of relief that she is no longer caught up in this mess.

    Put the rocks down!

    Yeah, that looked pretty messy. I like how the guy came from back stage & only picked up the mike…. why try to entertain folks when you can’t even stand up? Sad.

    LMAO I noticed that too! @ tracey in Ohio

    Not to laugh but still. I was like WTF? You can hear the audience in the background, “pick him up!” That was too sad. Epilepsy would explain it a little but, wouldn’t he be moving when he had a seizure? Only reason I ask is because I went to school with someone who gets seizures (can’t remember which kind though) and we were taught by our teacher what to do when the girl had one(it was 3rd grade). Thank God she didn’t though.

    The absolute funniest part was watching KCi hold up JoJo and make him wave to the audience like a scene from Weekend at Bernie’s!!! I lost it at that point!!

    LAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Um, how about when the dude – their “bodyguard” or whatever – strolled across the stage, picked up the mic that JoJo dropped and kept it moving. Lawdhavmercy, why did I punish myself by watching this at work all while trying not to laugh? TORTURE, I tell you! I should really know better than to read this blog at work anyway. So sad what they’ve become…if it really is epilepsy, I feel really bad for giggling. Something tells me that it’s not so I don’t. =)

    All I wanna know is, when is K-Ci gonna realize that he is BONY – not sexy and put on a damn shirt? Damn crackhead…..
    Oh and LMMFAO @ Jaded NYer & Leon

    K-Ci is an epileic lie…i might have given them a slight pass on the exhaustion but now …nah I grew up with a teacher and a neighbor who had epilepsy which i saw both of them have seizures and what took place was nothing like what jo-jo crack head did on stage in Leon’s words that negro was “dry” (drunk and high) it’s a shame when people can’t just keep it real…and if he has “epilepsy” how come we haven’t seen him and his brother raise money for this condition??? I dont recall any psa’s for epilepsy with them in it??? why are we hearing about it now?

    initially i thought i a sniper struck him dead for letting his brother walk on stage with no shirt and no lotion.

    LMAO @ Cincy

    I found out some info. He does in fact have a medical condition and forgot to take his meds that night. Not sure if it’s epilepsy. He was rushed away right after he was picked up.

    WTF?! The security guard goes after the microphone first instead of JoJo. Hilarious! I guess JoJo would’ve dissed K-CI if he fell off on his ass too.
