He should be ashamed of himself for what he did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

**** that gay fish and lover of fishsticks in his mouth, he made Bono look humble

Kanye has a condition known as terminal diarrheaofthemouthitis. :rolleyes: :mad:

LOL yes he does

poor Taylor, she is only 19 years old. What a pompous ass Kanye is.

what did he do? I am not watching the VMAs.

Someone has it on YouTube already!!

what did he do? I am not watching the VMAs.


After Taylor Swift -- who is just 19-years-old, mind you -- won the award for Best Female Video at the VMAs, Kanye rushed the stage, took the mic from her, and proclaimed Beyonce had "one of the best videos of all-time."

For her part, Beyonce looked completed mortified by Kanye's childish actions.

What a jerk.

No respect for anyone at all. Taylor Swift should have kneed him in the junk for stealing her moment.

If Beyonce had any respect for her fellow nominee, she would condemn Kanye's actions.

If I'd been Taylor, I definitely would've kicked him where he lives. Poor girl looked like she was about to burst into tears then and there.

What a bastard he is. Taylor is nothing but incredibly grateful, and he took that moment and ripped it away from her. How humiliating.

MTV should really step in and do something about that ghetto garbage.

Just asking, but why didn't a tech. or someone behind the scenes turn off his microphone and have him keep talking when he wasn't supposed to be up there?

Good question....but I think MTV loved this kind of controversial crap.

Good question....but I think MTV loved this kind of controversial crap.
Of course they do!! They're as big attention whores as Kanye is. ohno:

What a pompous arse! He had absolutely no right to steal her moment like that. They should ban him from being able to attend future award ceremonies. It would be such poetic justice if he were to win an award next year and wasn't allowed to be there to accept it!

Ugh. My suitemates and I are all watching the VMA's together and when that happened, all of our jaws just dropped. How unbelieveably rude, the poor girl looked like she was ready to cry. Good for her for redeeming herself with her performance. She should've told Kanye to suck it when she was done because she did a great job. There were about 10,000 facebook status updates literally seconds after it happened denouncing Kanye's actions. He screwed himself big time.

Enjoy this video commentary on the subject.

So I'm the only one who thought that was unbelievably hilarious?

I mean, seriously, it was a hideous thing to do and highly inappropriate, and I feel bad for TS, but you just can't write this kind of stuff. I can't even stand Kanye and never really have, but I couldn't stop laughing.

The VMAs always have had scandals. There was Britney's performance in 2007, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock's scuffle, etc., etc....

I don't find humiliating this poor girl in public, embarassing Beyonce in the process all that funny, sorry

Kanye is an ass pure and simple.

Beyonce is an absolute sweet heart for what she just did for Taylor.

I read about that, that was so very awesome of her :)

Yes, she won an award and then invited Taylor to come up on stage and finish her speech. That was very classy. :D

What a classy move by Beyonce. I really admire her for that!

I know, I especially loved when she said how she remembered being that age and winning a VMA for the first time with Destiny's Child and how it felt, and she wanted to give that chance back to Taylor. Very classy of her.

Beyonce has always been a step above the rest. This has just confirmed her awesomeness for me.

kudos to Beyonce

Kanye is such a jerk, seriously. i've lost ALL respect i've ever had for him, and a lot of people feel the same way. he's killing his own career.

what Beyonce did was great, though. but poor Taylor.

I saw this at MTV.com

But his verbal attack against Swift had a more vicious tone. According to a tweet from Jay-Z's DJ, Neil Armstrong, Swift and her mother were seen backstage crying afterward; Beyoncé brought Swift onstage for another chance at her acceptance speech later in the show. Various celebs have lashed out against West on Twitter, including Pink, who had to be escorted away from the rapper by security.

Good I hope he gets an ass kicking(not literally, just verbally), what he did was unexcusable. His excuse in the past was he had too much to drink.

BS, that doesn't excuse moronic behavior

I don't get why THIS is the thing that makes people lose respect for Kanye West. I lost respect for his lame ass years ago because he's a whiny, petulant, cocky little kid who cries when he doesn't have his way.

LOL Christina Applegate posted this on twitter:

Beyonce is a class act. Now,on the other hand seeing douches doing douchy things....

#KanyeSucks #TeamTaylor #MarryMeBeyonce

Ugh I knew she was ready to cry. Poor thing.

And did Pink try to kick his ass? OMG I love her :rofl:

That was very nice of Beyonce to do that for Miss Swift. Very classy.

I never much cared for Pink but I give her kudos for confronting that jackass right after it happened. Maybe if more of Kanye's "peers" got in his face more often, he will think before he speaks from now on.

I just saw the video on Youtube. What an a hole Kanye is. That is so disrespectful. He didn't even hug her or apologize or nothing after, either.

This was at MTV.com, he posted this in his blog, I say whatever, now he wants to kiss people's arses since he has been getting reamed all over the net :rolleyes:

At around the same time, West took to his blog to deliver one of his familiar all-caps posts (edited into sentence case here) addressing the situation.

"I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom," he wrote. "I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!

"Beyoncé's video was the best of this decade!!!! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!!! I'm sorry to my friends at MTV. I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw. Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture!!! No disrespect but we watchin' the show at the crib right now cause ... well you know!!!! I'm still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!! You are very very talented!!! I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me ... That's what it is!!!!!!! I'm not crazy y'all, i'm just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!!!"

He is a douche.

This was the best VMA's in at least 7 years, to be honest.

Yeah, the 2002 VMA's were awesome. This was entertaining, I'll say that much. Everyone gave good performances...and I could even handle Russell Brand because his douchiness was totally outshined by Kanye. And of course, the awesome Michael tribute.

Kayne's a lil bitch. Plain and simple.

Kayne's a lil bitch who can suck a dick and swallow. Plain and simple.

oh damn lol

oh damn lol

I'm serious. I've really lost a lot of respect for him, that I had for his talent, you don't do **** like that. It's totally uncalled for and unbelievable. I know you like him Kyle and I hope I didn't offend you in anyway.

My theory here is that Kanye loves doin **** like that. He has to have the spotlight on him one way or another, he loves haters plain and simple. He always wants to be the controversial rapper that has people talking about him.... ya dig?

Kanye West is "SOOOOO SORRY" for interrupting Taylor Swift at Sunday’s Video Music Awards. The rapper posted an apology on his Web site’s blog after the show in his usual style of all caps.

"I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment," he wrote. "Beyonce's video was the best of this decade . . . I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down . . . I'm sorry to my friends at MTV . . . I will apologize to Taylor."

I know - they both just reeked of sincerity. :rolleyes:

I like some of Kanye's music but I really don't respect him as a person. I felt bad for Taylor. It was her win and her moment. Kanye was wrong to "speak" for Beyonce. I have always thought Beyonce is an ok person. I really don't like her dad. He has a horrible repuation and various people including past members of Destiny's Child have talked about his manipulations. Beyonce has been in the music business for years. She probably didn't care that she lost an award to Taylor Swift. Kanye must thinking winning awards is everything in his career. He shouldn't have went and whined about another person not winning an award. It seems that a lot of celebs are turning on Kanye after this incident.

he needs to GRADUATE

The VMAs weren't a place for him to editorialize as to who should have got best video. He seems to do that, hog the limelight. Maybe he feels threatened by someone other than his favorites getting the attention.

Maybe it's his paranoid, knee-jerk reverse racism. ohno:


What a loser.

AB Pie, he is just an attention whore lol. he is like the little kid @ the toy store. he wants the last action figure, but doesn't have the money for it, and gets mad and pouts if somebody else gets it before him. he has to get his way and he acts like a little kid who throws the whole kaboodle- hissy fit & crying in the middle of the store. that's the best I could put it lol. and him coming up when Taylor one, is like saying "they should be my award" or "that should be my toy, give it back." Then again, he was talking about Beyonce winning it, but it's along the same lines roughly.

Why does MTV even bother with these awards anyways? They barely show music videos as it is :rolleyes:

What Beyonce video did he love, I'm assuming- All The Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)???
Yeah, and it won video of the YEAR,HOW DO YA LIKE NOW CAN-YAY?

Leave it up to Kanye to continue being the a$$ that he is.

Somebody posted on YouTube - "Yeah, you all say you hate Kanye, but you know when his new CD comes out, you're going to buy it, or at least download it."

Um, no I'm not, on both accounts.

Why does MTV even bother with these awards anyways? They barely show music videos as it is :rolleyes:
That's a great point, too!! ohno:

I just heard he is going to be a guest on Jay Leno tonight. THAT should be interesting!! :lol:

I can't stand this guy! Unbelieveably rude and uncivil. MTV should ban him from future award shows, but I doubt they do anything.

LOL. Oh Please! :rolleyes: After that fiasco, not even Billie Jean will acknowledge that she was his lover. :talk:

Kanye West has been spoiled!

He only cares for himself!

I can admit that he's somewhat talented ("Gold Digger" is catchy, as is "Heartless," and I liked his part of "American Boy" with Estelle), but his stank personality just ruins that so much. For many celebrities, their talent is much better than their personality is bad, so it's easy to let cockyness or arrogance or whatever slide, but Kanye has firmly put his stank personality miles above his talent, and the solution to that equation is: KANYE U SUQ.

Well, I can't argue with you there JT.

I just heard he is going to be a guest on Jay Leno tonight. THAT should be interesting!! :lol:

You know, usually I would skip that interview, but in light of what happened...I'm waiting to hear what Jay has to say, too!!:D

I want to find out what happens tonight. This should be interesting...

What would you want as a punishment?

Kick him out of the country? Ban him from ever making any music again?

I'm not defending what he did, but I don't consider it the worst act in the entire world.

Banishment form all MTV award ceremonies (and I also mean the other MTV networks too) for an entire year would be a good start.

The man obviously cannot keep his mouth shut and let others recieve praise for thier work.

Can you imagine the uproar from him if somebody had done the same thing to him?!:rolleyes:

**** that gay fish and lover of fishsticks in his mouth, he made Bono look humble
Hell, I'd rather listen to a speech by Bono then Kanye West.

I think everybody should just ignore him, stop buying his music and act like he doesn't exist.... that would hit him the hardest.

OMG. Yes, what he did was horrible, I sat there with my jaw to the floor like everyone else, and he is an egotistical ass (like 90% of the industry is), but Jesus Christ. People are soooooo overdramatic and the littlest of things can start a "LETS DESTROY HIS CAREER" plan. I saw the interview with Jay Leno, and I do think he is sorry. I think he is mentally unstable and moreso since his mother died, which is obvious if you listen to the tone of his last album. Music stations refusing to play his music?! WTF. He was incredibly rude and drunk, but people act as if he punched Taylor in the face. BTW Taylor said she didn't want this to become a huge deal and accepted the apology. Kanye has always been a *****. Yes, I understand it was wrong for her to hurt her feelings in that way, but people saying stations shouldn't play his music and Kanye should be barred from ever doing this or that is just ridiculous in my opinion.

I agree.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if some stations stopped playing his music. I mean, look at all the backlash Faith Hill got over the Carrie Underwood thing...and that was clearly a joke. Some stations pulled her songs at first, and she was criticized left and right. This is a ton more extreme, so nothing about it is shocking to me.

Unfortunatly, stupid people like Kanye West are going to continue with their rude, self centered and idiotic actions because people like you platinumblonde are going to constantly defend their behavior.

Kanye didn't punch Taylor!
So, we shouldn't be angry?

Kanye has done this before! That's what he doees!
So we have to accept that? That Kanye being Kanye sh*t doesn't fly with us normal people.

He was drunk, he didn't mean it!
Bullsh*t excuse! I'm a drinker, In fact, I'm an expert drinker, and I have never used that cop out answer.
That is a weak excuse used by cowards who do not want to take responsibilty for thier actions.

Oh, his Mom is dead. I'm really sorry about taht, but if he is troubled by that, then he has to get help, and not play out his own personal drama on the public.

Kanye West is dillusional. He thinks he is the greatest entertainer ever, and therefore whatever he does must be accepted by us, his loving adoring people.

You have to take a stand against the idiots who use fame as an excuse to do whatever they want. The only way to stop this kind of behavior is to finally say enough is enough.

Stop apologizing for them platinumnblonde and the other defenders of Kanye.

WHO is defending his behavior or apologizing for him?! Certainly not me... I said he is a ***** and it was a extremely rude thing to do. I think Kanye is ridiculous. I felt kind of like crying for her when that happened. But music stations banning his music because he ruined Taylor Swift's VMA moment!? Banning his music because he acts like an egotistical ass? In my opinion that is WAY overboard. Do you think every time a musician makes an ass of themself and does something rude, we should stop playing their music or movie theaters should stop playing movies with actors/actresses who behave badly in public? If Taylor Swift has moved on, I don't understand why no one else can. If you don't want to buy Kanye West's albums, tickets or listen to him on the radio, that's fine, but I find it ridiculous that people are advocating for stations to censor his music because he ruined Taylor Swift's VMA moment.

I'm not worried. What goes arouind comes around. Taylor is already a much bigger person than him; professionally and personally.

WHO is defending his behavior or apologizing for him?! Certainly not me... .

Um, yes you are.

From your post:

"He was incredibly rude and drunk, but people act as if he punched Taylor in the face."

Okay, so since he didn't pysically assault Taylor Swift, what he did was nothing?

You are making an excuse for him.

I'm not worried. What goes arouind comes around. Taylor is already a much bigger person than him; professionally and personally.
That's a great way to put it. :nod:

i agree that this would be an extreme reaction if this was his first offense but it isn't. he's had these outbursts numerous times. i can't stand when the alcohol excuse is used. in my opinion, when a person is drunk, it only magnifies their personality traits. if you're a happy, laid back person you'll most likely act even more goofy, silly etc. and if you're an a**hole then when you're drunk you become a raging a**hole.

and i don't think he's acting like this because his mom died. maybe thats made his behavior more outrageous but again he had these types of outbursts long before she died.



albeit, the events surrounding hurrican katrina were controversial, his rant on the katrina telethon was out of line. in a time of national crisis the last thing we needed was more upheaval. what he did to taylor swift only proves further what a moron he is.

You are making an excuse for him.

You might be misinterpreting what platinumblonde means? I don't think she is defending his behaviour, because I think she said that it was a very rude thing for him to do.

I don't think she is defending him, I think it's more that she's saying she isn't as angry about it as many other people are.

I don't know much about these two musicians but from the little I have learned from reading this thread, it seems like Kanye West has a history of being rude and self-centred, and that he needs to change, fast. It appears that Taylor swift is a better person. I can imagine she must have felt horrible about what happened and I can only sympathise with her.

Stop apologizing for them platinumnblonde and the other defenders of Kanye.
What are you talking about!?

There is a general belief that the punishment for a crime should fit the crime. Of course, this isn't a legal issue, but I think that belief still holds. He shat all over the girl's moment, ruined the night for her, and lost many friends in his industry, but people are acting as if he got up there and verbally abused her. That's actually NOT me making excuses, it's me trying to put this back into perspective. People keep saying, "Oh, Taylor is such a sweet girl, such a role model, such a generous person, so forgiving..." Well damn, how about y'all take a cue from Taylor, you know, the actual victim in this whole thing, and get over it. She has. I'm sure she'd rather not be remembered as "the girl Kanye interrupted at the VMAs in 2009."

Unfortunatly, stupid people like Kanye West are going to continue with their rude, self centered and idiotic actions because people like you platinumblonde are going to constantly defend their behavior.

Kanye didn't punch Taylor!
So, we shouldn't be angry?

Kanye has done this before! That's what he doees!
So we have to accept that? That Kanye being Kanye sh*t doesn't fly with us normal people.

He was drunk, he didn't mean it!
Bullsh*t excuse! I'm a drinker, In fact, I'm an expert drinker, and I have never used that cop out answer.
That is a weak excuse used by cowards who do not want to take responsibilty for thier actions.

Oh, his Mom is dead. I'm really sorry about taht, but if he is troubled by that, then he has to get help, and not play out his own personal drama on the public.

:clap Well said TJL :clap

I'm pretty sure that Kanye is going to get the help he needs. Alot of people are angry over what he did. I for one will forgive him if he seeks the help he needs.

God knows he needs all the help he can get!! :eek: At least he can afford it!!

Um, yes you are.

From your post:

"He was incredibly rude and drunk, but people act as if he punched Taylor in the face."

Okay, so since he didn't pysically assault Taylor Swift, what he did was nothing?

You are making an excuse for him.
I AM NOT MAKING EXCUSES. Yes, and he's an ******* for that. But anyone who advocates censorship of music because someone acted like an ******* and had an outburst during another artist's ~*moment*~ is TAKING THIS WAY TOO SERIOUSLY, IN MY OPINION. If you don't like Kanye or don't want to support him is wonderful, if that is what you choose to do. Do you seriously advocate censoring artists and actors who have a history of *****-ish behavior, no matter how good their work?

The same thing happened to Faith Hill. Carrie Underwood forgave her immediately, yet it seemed to drag on forever. And this situation was much worse than that, so I don't see people letting up anytime soon.

What exactly is this Carrie/Faith incident you speak of?

I saw the video on the news last night, but I gave up on MTV years ago. This just confirms my opinion that MTV is nothing but garbage. Gets worse every year.

Female Vocalist of the Year at the CMA's. Both were nominated and when it was announced that Carrie won, Faith very jokingly mouthed "WHAT?!" to the camera as if she was shocked that she didn't win. She knew, and everyone knew that Carrie was going to win, yet a bunch of morons blew it way out of proportion.

what censorship?

he's proven time and time again that he can't be trusted to behave like an adult at award functions, live events, talk shows, anything with animals or cameras present, etc, and it might be better for everyone involved (including himself) if he were banned from such events in the future.

Thanks.

I actually remember hearing about that but I didn't think that "that" was the incident that was being referred to.
