kanye what a tool

What the hell wrong with lady gaga

Jessie | 9/14/2009, 3:21 am EST

Kanye is full of him self and still thinks that becasue he is black he gets everything. He has shown time and time again that he thinks he is better than everyone.

festimm | 9/14/2009, 3:45 am EST

i love britney and i am so excited that she has a moonman

GL | 9/14/2009, 7:36 am EST

I think Kanye is a complete idiot. My daughter and I were watching the VMA’s and she actually asked me to change the channel. She is only 9 and thought he was so rude and unprofessional. Well, I completely agree and will never listen or buy any of his music again. I do not think he is an artist, but an unprofessional, immature representation of an artist. Yes…he is a tool.

Daniel | 9/14/2009, 9:06 am EST

Kayne West is a living example of a Prejudice, sick, twisted little child with a little money and Way To Much Access. (The amount of access is determined, in the end, by fans. Want him to go away don’t watch, listen or buy his stuff)

Rik | 9/14/2009, 9:08 am EST

Jesus, stop hassling Kanye already, Taylor Swift and her weepy little fans need to give the man a break, or if they can’t do that, at least stop littering message boards with lame anti-Kanye-isms.

This year’s VMA proof that Decisions Maker For winners are THE JUDGES,not vote system. Everybody at YouTUBE vote for Womanizer as Video of The Year (include me!) but it seems like the judges prefer to Single Ladies.so i wonder that vote system is just A Camouflage. But congratz for Queen Of Pop,BRITNEY SPEARS!GO FOR UR NEXT BEST VIDEO FOR NEXT VMA!

Diana | 9/14/2009, 9:18 am EST

Kanye is a perfect example that even being low class and talentless, you can still make it in the US. But as it always works out, only the real ones will stand tall…Kanye WILL fall, and since he has burned so many bridges, no one will be there to give him a helping hand. It has already started. As it works out, people prefer seeing a falling star than a rising one. bye bye loser!

Mike | 9/14/2009, 10:51 am EST

Kanye West! You are nothing but a pathetic loser. You have no class whatsoever. What you did ot taylor Swift is unacceptable and completely uncalled for. YOU SUCK! As an entertainer I will no longer promote your music. SCUMBAG!

GREEN DAY IS EASILY THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST AT THE SHOW

Alonzo | 9/14/2009, 11:34 am EST

Kanye…what were you thinking?! Taylor Swift won best female video…get over it!!!

djandy | 9/14/2009, 11:52 am EST

Why wasn’t the Black Eyed Peas nominated for “Boom Boom Pow”. Kelly Clarkson should have won best female video. She would have kicked Kanyes Butt on stage for interupting her and sent him home crying! Congrats Taylor and now I admire Beyonce even more for letting her come back on later on in the show. Lady Gaga pushed the limits and needs to learn how to sing. The best performance was the Michael jackson Tribute with Janet. IT rocked!

Well first of all i like kanye west. I do believe he do have talent but lately he has gone crazy. I do believe that kanye was wrong for interrupting taylor’s speech. Me personally i do think that beyonce should have won but he was wrong for what he did.I mean with the rate that he’s going he’s not going to have very many fans left.

Jungleland2 | 9/14/2009, 12:31 pm EST

How can they have a VMA but not show videos is beyond me. The music industry is falling apart and a good part of the blame belongs with MTV and VH1. There is no new artist buzz anymore in any genre except Country (and CMT does show videos)

Michael | 9/14/2009, 1:17 pm EST

Kanye was right taylor swift sucks and it was no way near better than pink, lady gaga, or beyonce’ the whole thing is rigged who votes these things anyway.

Mycah | 9/14/2009, 2:11 pm EST

Hooray for Green Day winning everything they were nominated for! They totally deserved it!

Morris | 9/14/2009, 2:36 pm EST

The VMA’s are no longer what use to be. I remember watchinbg there Nirvana, Pearl Jam with Neil Young and even Guns n’ roses with Elton John. Now the show sucks!

pachahead | 9/14/2009, 2:44 pm EST

What¨s the problem,Kanye has his opinion as everyone else;maybe he just went so far…but what are we doing about the music industry decay.Swift got talent but she is not the one who diserve that price.We can¨t let ourselves go just for fanatism,the chick is good but as the same that now lady gaga and a lot of new artists they really diserve the awards or the industry is given this awards away?

ThinkBeforeYouSpeak | 9/14/2009, 3:25 pm EST

Jessie – ‘Kanye is full of himself and still thinks that because he is black he gets everything.’

Lol you’re not the most intelligent person on earth.

S.O. | 9/14/2009, 3:34 pm EST

How funny that when most everyone will state “the music industry sucks right now” (which I totally agree it sucks right now) is during the VMAs and Grammy nights. Maybe that opinion could really be heard if everyone could gather & protest it just across the street from the actual place the show is going on at.

Kanye's wrong | 9/14/2009, 6:15 pm EST

His arrogance finally caught up to him. His actions of going up there and pushing a skinny innocent little blonde – who only sings about her own insecurities… really did him in. Like many artists before him who felt they could do anything — he too will fall by the waste side and be forgotten. And only be remembered for his wrong doings.

Kanye's wrong | 9/14/2009, 6:20 pm EST

Like MJ who thought he could do anything- he was eventually chased out of the US and was pretty much forgotten unitl now. K. West too will face the a similar exile in the near future.

Miss Lectrix | 9/14/2009, 9:56 pm EST

I wish people would stop making comments like “because he’s black”. Yeah, Kanye was disrespectful and always has to be the center of attention but it has nothing to do with color. Taylor Swift has worked so hard and she does deserve it. Yes, Beyonce’s video is great but she seriously needs to stop having two women dance behind her in all of her videos, its getting boring and predictable. Kanye West makes good music but has now lost me as a fan due to his ego.

jg | 9/14/2009, 11:32 pm EST

He needs help, money just went to his head.
Very uncool. I won’t allow my kids to buy his music any more.
You must make your mother so proud for being a jackass.
Taylor, you are great and a real roll model for
for the younger generation.

PRoJeCTT-DoM | 9/16/2009, 7:58 pm EST

Can anyone see Kanye’s actions leading to the next 50 Cent song?
Lol, Kanye West should disappear for a little while. I think the Hip Hop industry will diss him now and I would help them if I could…Well, I could say, “KANYE, I personally never liked up, now everyone else will see that you suck.

Kanye Genius | 9/17/2009, 5:21 pm EST

The VMA awards are all rigged.

Eric Diaz | 9/22/2009, 12:03 pm EST

Very, very uncool on Kanye’s part. Although in my opinion MTV’s not relevant anymore in matters of real musical talent, Taylor Swift deserved as much respect as an artist as anyone there. This is what happens when we as fans overfeed the egos of these performers.

peace | 10/18/2009, 2:00 pm EST

Taylor won the female video of the year not beyonce.Beyonce was nice for letting taylor finish her speech. now I think that I’m going to listen to some of her songs from know on! BUT NOT KANYE WEST! YOUR MOM SHOULD BE PROUD of you! NOT!! jackass! Taylor is a great role model. keep it up TAYLOR SWIFT U ROCK!

Twilight Rocks!! | 11/6/2009, 11:02 pm EST

Taylor won the female video of the and Kanye west just gets on stage and says that Beyonce had the best female video and that is so not true. Kanye West is nothing but a meanie because he really hurt Taylors feelings
