OK Ok...This is definately off topic but I just had to speak of it. Grammy Winner/Controversial Rapper Kanye West really messed up this time. During the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, while 19 year old country singer Taylor Swift was receiving her 1st award for "You Belong With Me" which won "Best Female Video", Kanye West interrupted Taylor's Acceptance Speech by saying, " Im happy for you, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time". Taylor Swift stood there looking lost and and speechless, she didn't even get to finish her speech. This stunt that Kanye pulled even surprised Beyonce. MTV escorted Kanye West out the building.
Now everybody wants to know, what the h*ll was on Kanye's mind. Prior to the show there are pictures of Kanye West drinking liquor on the red carpet. So was he drunk? Then others think that he was just being obnoxious and controversial like he always is. And lastly you have people thinking he's just being a ni%*er, which I think is extreme.
There are many celebritites that think Kanye West took it to the extreme and are not so happy. For instance Pink the singer tweeted about how she felt on Sunday. One of her tweets called Kanye, " ...the biggest piece of sh*t on earth.... And later called him a douchebag. Other celebrities had some opinions as well about the situation.
But the most surprising comment of them all was from the president of the United States calling Mr West a jack*ss. This incident was posted up by TMZ and was also tweeted by ABC but later yanked from Twitter. When it comes to that remark I think that was inappropriate from President Obama. Im sure that Kanye West voted for him, so that wasnt nice.
Poor Kanye, what is he to do in this situation. He aplogized but some feel that is not enough. I think he needs to cool it for a while. Even though he speakes the truth....he did it kind of wrong....lol...funny guy!!!
Did you see Kanye after the awards on Jay Leno? He said he didn't even realize he was doing anything wrong until he handed back the mic and taylor didn't keep talking and then he felt bad. At first I thought he was just being a douchebag, but after that I thought he was just impulsive and really dumb.
ReplyDeleteBut there was nothing wrong with what he said, it was just the way he did it. There's no logical reason to make a teenager cry even if you aren't a fan of her music. I'm glad Beyonce had the class to let Taylor come up when she actually did win best video of the year. And I'm glad MTV kicked him out because what he did was rude and the way he did it is just totally unacceptable for an award show.
Also Obama wasn't being inappropriate, ABC was. It was an interview with another news company that ABC was allowed to record. Obama just mentioned it in casual conversation backstage before the actual interview had started but ABC had started recording early and caught it. Just because he's the president doesn't mean he's not allowed to have an opinion, but because of the way our media works theres no way it wasn't going to get out after they had it on tape.
