Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift

If saying "George Bush doesn't care about black people" in the middle of a Katrina benefit show didn't ruin his career, I doubt this will do much to hurt him. Unless Taylor Swift "knows people." ;)

I have yet to figure out what's supposed to be so great about his music, though.

Well his statement about Bush is true, he's just the only guy who had balls to say it. That being said, what he did to Taylor was very rude and I hope he apologizes to her personally.

True or not, he seems to have a habit of not knowing the proper venue for his remarks. When you're raising money for Katrina victims is not the time to talk shit about the President. When someone else is receiving an award, it is not the time to hop on stage, take her mic, and bitch about how someone else made a better video. It's wholly inappropriate. Hell, it would get you in trouble at a fucking elementary school award ceremony, much less a nationally-televised award show.
 
*shrug* I *have* to tune in... work related. LOL As a TV station employee, I am the ultimate captive audience. LOL
 
Taylor Swift looked completely humiliated. Maybe she'll get him back by writing a song about him. Good for Beyonce for trying to make things right.
 
Apparently Kelly Clarkson has decided she has a few things she's like to say to Kanye too...

From Kelly Clarkson's Blog
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.
On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!
Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

I knew I made the right choice in voting for her all those years ago. :adore:

I think Kanye should do this to Bruce Springsteen and then we can all watch as the Boss takes out a gun and shoots him in the head. Bruce wouldn't even get arrested for it. It'd be crazy.
 
Good for Kelly and Beyonce. They're both ladies and are solving matters as such. Pink... if I were Kanye, I'd be a little scared right now. Thank you posters for reminding me what made me dislike him in the first place.

I doubt Kanye will ever read this, but should he...

Kanye West, you are a fool and a jerk.

Yeah, the look on her face when he took the mic from her was just the worst part of it. A moment like that doesn't come again in a lifetime, and he just destroyed it because he wanted to impress Beyonce or something. Good lord.
 
Pretty scuzzy thing to do. West is way too full of himself. People that hopped up on their own egos usually don't care about how their actions affect others. They just do what they want to do.

I think some of the blowback from other singers has been fitting and funny (some of their comments).

All the blowback will only feed into him, though. He's made a career out of being the underdog nobody understands.
 
That SOB..how dare he interrupts Taylor Swift when she won the award last night! I will not tolerate this behavior of his any longer. As of today, I have lost all my respect to that asshole.

I suspected that he doesn't like white people. I would love to come on the stage and beat his ass in the front of audience! Many words out of my mouth that I wanted to said to him!

Damn you, Kayne West! :mad:

And quite hilarious.

Adrienne Curry hates him...

The Times Online is reporting that Taylor's mother read him the riot act...

Another article on this Douche/Gay Fish from Daily FAIL, which has revealed to me that 1.) He really wants to bone Beyonce and 2.) His girlfriend looks like an alien.

So, when does Jay-Z get pissed and send some of his peeps to do a Drive-By on this drunk with the crush on his wife? That would be one shooting I might actually like to hear about...

Indeed. That's what burns me up the most about this whole thing. Kanye being an asshole, meh, par for the course. But he said George Bush hates black people, making an ass of himself then, I rolled my eyes - GWB is an adult and deservedly deals with a lot of shit But to get up on stage and completely humiliate a teenage girl who already looked pretty awed by the whole thing (forget that it's a VMA, consider where she comes from, who she's up against, and the general perception of her kind of music) goes beyond the pale.
 
Taylor looked like she was about to cry after he walked off stage.

And apparently, she did:

According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye’s outburst, making it convenient that her performance of “You Belong to Me,” which immediately followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded. Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, “You can’t fault a man for speaking his mind,” which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd. According to our sources inside Radio City, Kanye was promptly tossed from the VMAs after interrupting Swift’s speech.
