Kanye West disrespects Taylor Swift
(Make sure to check out the video)
Great, Kanye West, you just pulled a “Joe Wilson”. I’ve defended Kanye in the past, but this just takes the cake. Kanye shows his total asshole-ness. Kanye West can be placed in the same annoying group as those fools that interrupt town hall meetings.
From Reuters,
((West, who is known for his outspoken ways, jumped up on stage while the 19-year-old Swift was making an acceptance speech for best female video for her hit song "You Belong With Me," beating out singers including Beyonce Knowles and Lady Gaga.))
Since when did Kanye become the spokesmen for Beyonce? Did he really need to stroll onto the stage and take the mic away from Talyor Swift?
((MTV said West, who was spotted earlier on the red carpet drinking alcohol, was ejected from an awards show already known for its circus-like atmosphere. West received loud boos from the crowd when his name was mentioned later in the show. ))
And Beyonce received the best video of the year award anyway. Kanye should have known better and it did take away from Michael Jackson tribute. Before all this, I think people could live with his inflated ego, but this just sends him over the edge.
There are a few points I'd like to make though.
-Unfortunately, Kanye has made MTV and the VMAs relevant again. When you consider that MTV does not even play music videos anymore, it seems a bit foolish to have awards. I was 100% MTV free up to that point. I hate that channel.
-I didn't know who the hell Taylor Swift was before this. I could have gone on happy and not knowing how bland her music was. Now, Kanye has introduced me to her.
Yes, what Kanye did was foolish, but the fact MTV is trying to squeeze everything out of it is. Kanye doesn't think beyond himself before reacting.
Side Note: What was up with that leather shirt, Kanye?
Maybe Joe Wilson and Kanye can hang out
