I wouldn't put it past MTV to stage something like this. but if so, I can't understand, why Kanye or anyone else would agree to be the "villain". He's done this before though. I believe it was MTV Europe and he crashed the stage when someone else won best video.

I have this theory that he's actually just mildly retarded. I mean, when I see him in interviews or when he made that "bush doesn't care about black people" comment, he always looks and sounds like a little kid. He has this deer-in-the headlights childlike expression. Maybe he's not a bad guy. Maybe he just has no concept of what constitutes socially acceptable behavior.

I don't know about staged. I would think the award winner would have to be in on it as well and that poor girl looked so sad and confused.

I stick by my original post, the guy's a tool.

This is crazy, never heard of this until now.

Not a fan of his music or think he's that talented, just my opinion. Plus I'm surprised that they still do the whole music award shows since they don't play music anymore.

MTV blows, I concluded that awhile back but after seeing the events of last night and all the crappy ass music that was up for awards it officially sealed the deal. Anyone else think Lady Gaga is completely insane and a freak of nature? And how the heck did her song Poker Face actually get recorded? Its the worst song I have ever heard.

I remember a few years ago when Limp Bizkit won an award that Rage Against the Machine was nominated for and one of the guys went on stage and climbed up one of the props. He got arrested for it. Why wasn't this sh!t head given the same treatment?

Re: Kanye West
 
Not being into the whole hip hop "culture", I had no idea who this numbnut was.
Even on SNL when he embarassed an entire race, I thought who is this
Ahole? But by last night, at least, I knew WHO HE WAS. When I read this this morning,
I was pretty disappointed for the poor kid Taylor. I was going to log onto his goofball
web page to call him a few names, among which I am sure was going to be douchebag,
but I did not want to give him the web traffic. Same as that douche-bag who heckled
the president. I am a conservative, but I would never think to applaud this worm with a
attaboy or a contribution or even a web click to his page to call him a douche-bag.
The news commentators say it best. This is NOT the UK or Japan or wherever.
This is the US! And to see him on Meet the Press saying that he did not plan to do it.
He knew exactly where in the speech it was going to fall and he waited like some scumbag
for his 15 secs of fame. He doesn't get 15 mins. He should be stripped on the house
floor and given 30 lashes. I disagree with black comentators and activists who say it was all
about Obama's race. But I do think that some Aholes in congress think he shouldn't REALLY be
conferred with all due respect because he is black. So it must be OK to heckle him, right.
WRONG. The man is the President of the United States, like it or not.

And Kanye?? Just a perfect example of a man who feels like he is entitled to
more than his share of rights because of the history of his people in America.
Sorry Kanye. None of your living family were slaves, and none of their parents
were likely slaves either. You are now JUST an American. Start behaving like one, you jizz.

And I should apologize for the "angry white man" routine from me above.
It is hard for the average reader to tell if I am a racist or just the opposite
by reading my rant. Like most Americans, black and white and hispanic and other, yes, I am a racist, lol. I keed.

What a turd, my only question is why do they keep inviting this whining baby back every year. Maybe they get a certain percentage of people who just tune in to see what 200 pound 6 year old looks like.

Re: Kanye West
 
this is from a ny times article earlier this year, maybe this is why she won, and why captain fish sticks hates white peeps. that's right, i've got taylor on my ipod!

"This week Taylor Swift, the poised 19-year-old country star, crossed an increasingly rare milestone on the pop charts as her latest release, “Fearless,” outsold every other album in the United States for the eighth time.

Since 2000 only five other albums have spent eight or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard chart: ’N Sync’s “No Strings Attached,” Eminem’s “Marshall Mathers LP” and the Beatles’ “1,” all from 2000, stayed on top for eight weeks, as did Creed’s “Weathered” in 2001. Usher’s “Confessions” remained there for nine in 2004.

Music industry experts say that Ms. Swift’s success is the result of a combination of quality material, smart marketing and luck. “Fearless” was released in November and went immediately to No. 1, then gave up the top spot in successive weeks to Beyoncé, Kanye West and Britney Spears. But Ms. Swift has owned every week since mid-December, outlasting her competitors not only during the holiday shopping season but also through the doldrums of January, when sales drop to their lowest point all year."

Kanye deserves a threadjack when there's music like this to be had. He and Taylor Swift and Beyonce don't even get footnote status in the music biz in my book.

LOL, you guys need to watch Southpark more.

A few weeks back, they trashed him for an entire episode. That was one of his quotes about himself in the episode. I won't get to the short and long of it, but its def worth the watch.

I did wonder how he got access to the microphone so quickly. And why didn't they cut the mic off? :hm


At least Beyonce was a class act to Taylor Swift. Nice job to attempt to make things right.

shaggy 09-14-2009 06:56 PM

Re: Kanye West
 
this was all a work.....if u read ur posts there is all the proof right there, mic not shut off, him having access to the stage at just the right time.... taylor prolly wasnt privy to it so the shock would be genuine.
when all is said and done, kayne adds to his bad boy image, taylor gets pity for being treated as she was, and beyonce gets kudos for bringing taylor back out.
it all comes down to putting on a show to get attention. another example was kayne drinking from a henesy bottle on the red carpet. if it was true henesy then MTV would be facing heavy fines....it actually may have been a prelude to the performance on stage.
kayne is just another drop in the bucket of pop music....they come and go and his days are numbered

There is no effing excuse for such poor behavior. Beyonce may have the best video of all time; but that doesn't give you the right to storm the stage and take away from someone else's victory. B*tch about it to the cameras afterward. Write a song about it. But don't be a jackass and ruin someone else's night on what should be a special occasion.

Plus ... come on ... everyone knows awards shows are rigged. ;)

:tpd: On everything above except maybe that wink at the end (they are rigged) ;)
When his first (major?) studio album came out I remember thinking, he seems like a good guy and his music is good. Oh well, guess it was too good to be true or last. :rolleyes:

Re: Kanye West
 
While I absolutely feel that West's actions were idiotic, what bothers me is the national outcry and media frenzy this entertainer is receiving for… well being entertaining. On the flip side of this, we have a Congressman who completely disrespects the office of the President with his lack of deference, by interrupting our President's recent Joint Sessions speech, with a false accusation (even if the accusation were true, the outburst was a blatant lack of respect to our Nation's highest office from someone who should be held to a higher standard; he is a CONGRESSMAN). Without trying to turn this tread into a political discussion, it seems that this Country is getting too bent out of shape over an entertainer's dumb actions.
