In case you didn't know

He turned lots of people into Taylor Swift fans last night. I didn't know anything about this until today, but what an absolute turd. I'm sorry, that's what he is.

Question: Will Kanye West make Keith Olbermann's Worst Person In The World list at #1 like Joe Wilson did last week? Doesn't a young lady deserve to be protected from what amounts to a physical harrassment more so than the president deserves to be protected from being called a liar (esp. when he IS a liar)?

A drunk idiot...Beyonce Knowles was very gracious when she got up for her award and had Taylor Swift come back out...She showed a lot of class.

The only thing stupider (is that a word?) than a drunken, rude, classless "artist" ruining a moment for a nice kid who earned it? Anyone stupid enough to support Kanye by purchasing his "music."

He's a jerk, has always been a jerk, and will always be a jerk, and when the consuming public dumps people like him and votes with their $$$ the record labels will drop him like a white-hot anvil.

Yea Kanye is an idiot. Why couldn't he have took the Host's mic and said what he had to say instead of Taylors? I mean I didn't want to hear ANYTHING he had to say but if he felt he had to say it he could have done it differently.

I think Kanye's stunt was ill-timed. He meant it for the Obama Health Care speech.

He apologized without really apoligizing on Jay Leno's show last night...He appears to be a lost, troubled young man. He did break down when Jay asked him what his (deceased) mother would have thought or said about what he did.

Obama called him a Jack_ss in an off the record moment during an interview...For once I agree with the president on something!

yeah, me too. That speech he gave to the students was pretty good too

Kanye who?

He apologized without really apoligizing on Jay Leno's show last night...

Is that what he did?

"So many celebrities, they never take the time off," he said. "I've never taken the time off to really - you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be, 'cause, and I don't try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That's period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve."

Loved the new Leno show.

And we all know from whence the aforementioned emerges.

I don't get it. Wasn't he ALWAYS an idiot?

[dolfan]

I didn't watch the Leno show. Probably won't --- I'm just nowhere near a TV most nights at 9 Central. But, I like Leno as a host and all.

Kanye: So, he says he was wrong. Great. What about his Tweets (that's what they're called, right? , or is it "his Twitterings"?) after the VMA keeping on about Beyonce's video being the best, in all caps, etc. Did he say he was wrong about keeping on with it after it was over?
No, he waited until the public blowback was overwhelming, and he took an opportunity to make a splash on the new hot Leno show and blah, blah, blah, and "owned up" to being wrong.

The proof is in the doing, and for his sake, you can hope he "improves". All this celebrity apology stuff is old road --- run over, rutted, repaved, run over, rutted, repeat. Maybe he can join a "bad sport rehab camp" with Serena Williams and Roger Federer.

What I figure'll happen next is that some publicists, agents, and record producers will drum up a way for him and Taylor Swift to record a duet. That'd be par for the course, wouldn't it? The song could be called, "I'm A Little Fake Country, and I'm A Little Bit Smoke What I Roll."

[forestwalker]

I'd assumed it was a publicity stunt all three (and probably MTV) were in on. I mean, Swift just happened to have a wardrobe and makeup change on hand to change into before going back out the second time with Beyonce? Not that it makes West less of a turd, but it seems to just be the image he's cultivating. Not really worth getting upset over, especially since it's just what he wants.

Loved the new Leno show.

That was a semi-apology:
(1) He excused his actions by making himself a co-victim,
(2) He never said - I realize how stupid it was, and I promise I will never, ever do anything like that again.

Yes. And, for the record: rhythmic talking is NOT musical talent, people.
