Kanye West Disses Taylor Swift at VMAs

alright so I'm sure by now that most everyone has heard about this but I'm making a topic anyway XD

Quote :

At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift defeated Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, and Beyonce to take home the trophy for Best Female Video.

But Kanye West totally ruined Taylor's big moment!

When Taylor took the stage and began her acceptable speech, Kanye actually grabbed the microphone from her and declared that Beyonce Knowles should have won the award.

"Yo Taylor. I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!" he yelled to many boos.

Taylor was literally speechless. The camera flashed to Beyonce who looked appalled.

I seen it this morning!

I felt so bad for Taylor that I really wanted to cry for her. It was just mean and rude. She is only a teen man, and this guy tells her she doesnt really deserve it. That was just really mean. And she was so happy to win it also!! I really want to just slap him. It was nice that Beyonce let her finish her speech when it was Beyonce's turn.

...about time someone told her that :D I don't liek Taylor. 'Nuff said xD

I wish I could've said that *le sigh*

I Like Kanye but what he did to Taylor was mean , funny but really mean . I felt really bad for her , she looked shocked & on the verge of tears =) What Beyonce did was really kind & thoughtful

Mean - so what? He made a fine point, dude :D

...I just hate the fact that Beyonce went and un-did it like she did xD Can't people FOR ONCE let things be, and STOP ruining my entertainment like that?

Caro I don't think I'm talking to you anymore, Taylor Swift is uberly amazing and she worked so hard to get where she is. If you don't agree with her winning fine but what Kanye did was just plain uber mean

He ruined her moment like that and I'm glad that people booed him XD

Beyonce is uber epic for what she did and it speaks as to her character, a million cool points for her XD

FINE :D Don't talk to me, see if I care xD

To be honest, I don't think Taylor deserved the award. That's just my opinion. I think what Kanye did was mean, epic, amazing, funny as hell, and just LEGENDARY xD I always wondered when SOMEONE would have the balls to do something like that.

I just wished it would happen to Brit-Brit xD

Anyway.

Personally, Taylor just doesn't move me much. She's just some American girl who got dumped by Joe Jonas in the most embarrassing way and making a big fuss about it - she hardly deserves my respects in that case.

No offence - but dating a Jonas Brother? No comments.

*hands a badger costume to Amby* ...here ya go, dear xD

psh, what Kanye did shows that he has no respect for other people at all. Really, he's 32 and he just got up their in the middle of a 19 year old girl's speech about how she couldn't believe that she won and ruined it. He might as well stepped on a kitten.

Taylor has done so much though and she's an amazing role model for all girls around here and really she's America's Sweetheart. Everyone loves Taylor Swift, which explains how she - being a country singer - can even win a VMA given out by MTV XD She's just plain loved everywhere XD

*takes badger costume and wears it proudly*

Taylor Swift is epic and talented and extremely funny if you watch her video blogs XD

I just think it was really rude and mean. Taylor is a really good Role Model. She isnt in the magizines for something stupid like nude pictures taking on the phone sent to people. And then he just comes up there and BAM crushes her little moment.

Taylor sucks live though. That's the only thing. I love her songs and I love her, but her singing abilities are actually quite limited.

I don't think this is a matter of if you like her or not, it's more a matter that Kanye acted like a little boy and should have been kicked out of the show. Just because who he wanted to win did not does not give him the right to do such a thing. I think it was a publicity stunt. I honestly think it was something to get his name back in the papers, but it was rude and should not have been allowed. I'm sure there was enough security there to stop him. Yes I agree with Amby it says a lot for his character.

Beyonce on the other hand seems to be a really nice girl and I'm happy that she also got an award. I'm also happy that she gave Taylor her moment. It says a lot more of her character to do something like that then what Kanye did.

Dude Taylor so didn't suck live at her performance at the VMAs if you watched it Traci and no singer live sounds just as amazing as they do in the studio and that has to do with all the moving around and all the people and the crowd and such.

And he did get escorted out Traci XD

He did apologize on Jay-Leno, and it seemed like it was heart-felt...

Still, what he did was rude. If he'd controlled himself, he wouldn't have had to totally crush Tay-Tay in the first place, seeing as how Beyonce ended up winning the best music video or whatever (not just female.)

Makes me mad. I heard that Obama called him a jack-(BUTT) and P!nk called him a piece of (POOP) But, I also heard that Jay-Z got all mad at Beyonce for not supporting Kanye and leaving with the rest of them...Which is totally unjust.

Go to Perez Hilton....they have it were Obama saids that.

I think it was just...mean...period. Although, all the artist are getting really pathetic with all the name callings. But at least their hearts are in the right place...?

dude that really isn't fair for Jay-Z to get all mad at Beyonce for doing something so great to make someone's night go back to how it should be.

And it's like I said, Taylor is American's Sweetheart XD That includes celebs loving her as well XD she gets a lot of respect from lots of different artists who just love her XD

Yeah...she is a Sweetheart!

I have the feeling...Caro is wanting to hit us all when she reads this XD

I'm ignoring you all :D

I don't even classify her as a country singer, so for me it's just another Disney star-ish thingy winning... again.

The world makes no sense.

Oh, and she looks like a fish.

To me, the American sweetheart is... Marilyn Monroe xD

Not some... Taylor LOVE-ME-LOVE-ME-LOVE-ME Swift.

And anyway, Madonna sounds good live xD

And as for Kanye; do you guys realize how many people would watch him step on a kitten? It's mean and cruel, but people still watch it - it's entertainment today!

Honestly it wasn't the first time Kanye did something like this though. He shouldn't have been allowed on the stage. They all knew what was going to happen. I don't know. I think it was all pretty stupid.

Amby my mom said Taylor sucks live. I'm indifferent. I don't care how they sound I go for the lyrics in the song. Which Taylor has a lot of good songs so

Car...really Modanna and Marilyn Monroe? I mean really. They aren't exactly the kind of girls I want my future kids to be when they grow up. I would much rather have them be like Taylor. That last part is horrible. I would not watch such a thing.

I thought they were sex smybols...and really....you want your child to go and...kill themselves? Eekk..or dump her husband for a really...hot...guy XD

AND NO!!! KITTYS!!!!

That's just...sad....poor wittle kittens!

I said Madonna is good live.

Marilyn will always be America's sweetheart.

...or maybe Julia Roberts xD

But I don't want my kids being like Taylor Swift. I don't want MY kids to get dumped by some guy who looks like a girl with really freaky eyebrows, and then write a lame song about it.

No.

My kid will win an Oscar xD

And yes, I want my kids to kill themselves.. *rolls eyes* I MEAN SERIOUSLY! That's really the definition of Marilyn Monroe, guys.

God, this is so lame.

I once saw dogs being used as sharkbaits.

Anyway.

Let me have my opinion about my definition of "entertainment", and "America's sweetheart" - you lot really shouldn't judge; you voted Bush as the president xD

...okay, that was out of order :D

I didnt not vote him!!

I was so mad he even made it in office TWICE!!!

I want to kick him...wanna help me Caro? ^.^

Yeah everyone is entitled to their own feelings...even if we hate them...*mumbles*

One I can't vote, but if I could I wouldn't have voted for that....jerk. I was mad when he was elected both times. GAH.

Car...personally I feel you definition of America Sweetheart is nothing like the average person's definition. But that's what I love about you.

**sings a song**

Kicking Bush wouldn't be enough xD

And Traci - I am slightly offended by your conclusion :D By now you should know I'm not average, but I don't strive to be different, either. I simply don't like the same things others like, no much how I try to fit in xD

To not be out of topic; What's wrong with Taylor's eyes? She looks like a FISH! A Chinese FISH xD

Car you should never be offended by what I say. I never mean to insult it just happens. :D I still love you though and if you were average, well my life would not be as fun.

Chinese Fish? Do they look any different than a regular fish?

Chinese fish = Taylor Swift

...so yeah, quite different looking compared to normal fish :D

Alrighty then Car.

You guys are meannnnn (:
I'm sure you wouldn't want people to judge you...

Just saying!

...oh, they judge me :D I just don't care xD

We're not all pushovers like Taylor.

JUST SAYIN'!
