After Miguel’s unforgettable performance during the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, the media just cannot leave the “Adorn” singer alone. Now that there are rumors of possible legal action being taken by Khyati Shah, the girl who fell victim to Miguel’s leg, Miguel is starting to get nervous (although she seemed fine during the interview backstage after the accident occurred.) Check out what Miguel had to say to defend himself for continuing his performance AFTER landing on the audience member’s head.

There has been a huge debate whether or not Miguel should have finished his performance after injuring members of the audience. Miguel seems to have a lot to say about the issue. The R&B singer tells Kiss F Muk:
“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? That’s kind of inhuman. Interestingly, she was actually a really good sport about it. She was like, ‘No, I would love to. Great.’ And I haven’t seen the interview. We did it actually like five minutes afterward. But I know I was super uncomfortable just like — fast forward, two days later after it all kind of fizzled, and I’m looking at memes and pictures of myself, like, I can’t help but laugh. Like, what do you do? It’s funny, I’m sorry, it’s funny and I can’t even front.”
What do you think? Should Miguel have stopped right then and there to make sure the fans were okay? OR from a professional stand-point, did he do the right thing by finishing his performance? LET US KNOW!
