It was a daring dance manoeuvre that could have gone terribly wrong - and unfortunately for Jennifer Lopez - it did.
The diva fell flat on her famous rear end while performing her new single Louboutins at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night.
The 40-year-old mother of two began the dramatic stunt by climbing up a human pyramid of semi-naked male dancers.
She then drew gasps from the audience when she lost her balance after jumping off a dancer's back, and landed on her derriere.
Fear in her eyes: Jennifer Lopez looked uneasy as she jumped off the shoulders of a dancer during her performance at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night
Down for the count: Jennifer, who chose a boxing theme for her performance, took a hit to her ego after
landing with a thud
But, ever the professional, Jennifer quickly recovered her poise and carried on with the show.
After hours of rehearsals, the slip up would have disappointed the singer, who is known to be something of a perfectionist.
But it seems that the only thing bruised was her ego, with her spokesperson assuring concerned fans that 'she's fine, totally fine.'
Jennifer's boxing themed act was just one of many high profile appearances on the night.
Rihanna returned to the AMA stage, sporting blonde hair, a skintight, white peek-a-boo bodysuit and a tattoo down the front of her neck that read Rated R, the name of her new album.
Her rendition of Wait Your Turn marked Rihanna's first U.S. performance since she pulled out of the Grammys in February after she was assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
The Black Eyed Peas, voted favorite pop/rock band, energized the crowd when they performed two of the year's most popular hits: I Got A Feeling and Boom Boom Pow.
Janet Jackson opened the show with a medley of some of the biggest hits from her long career - all tracks that appear on her new greatest-hits collection, also called Number Ones.
Alicia Keys and Jay-Z duetted on their ode to New York City, Empire State Of Mind. Shakira was flanked by a dozen dancers in tiny black bodysuits as she sang her new single.
Kelly Clarkson performed a stripped down version of her hit Already Gone, backed by a string quartet.
Lady GaGa performed her new single Bad Romance while Whitney Houston gave an emotional performance of her track I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
The show closed with an S&M-themed, sexually charged performance by American Idol runner up Adam Lambert - which included him shoving a male dancer's face into his crotch.
Michael Jackson made history by winning four American Music Awards, but he couldn't beat Taylor Swift as the year's favourite artist and the evening's top winner.
The 19-year-old took the show's top award Sunday night, giving Jackson his only loss of the night, and giving her five trophies in all.
'Music has never been ultimately about competition,' she said as she accepted the top prize via satellite from London, where she is to perform today.
'To even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honour.'
Jackson's trophies were accepted by his brother Jermaine, who paid tribute to his late brother by wearing glittery white glove. He thanked 'Allah for blessing my entire family' and named each of his brothers and sisters.
