Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Katy Perry Lash Out at Kanye for Outburst

Last night’s VMAs ceremony featured Madonna and Janet Jackson’s tributes to the King of Pop, the This Is It trailer and Lady Gaga’s strangest costumes yet, but as soon as the lights dimmed at Radio City Music Hall, all everyone wanted to talk about was Kanye West’s outburst during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. Dozens of celebrities flocked to their Twitters and blogs in support of Swift, and three-time VMA winner Kelly Clarkson sat down to write a scathing open letter to the rapper.

Relive VMAs’ ’09’s memorable moments, in photos.

“I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you… which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you,” Clarkson wrote on her IAmKelly blog. “The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??” Clarkson was nominated in the Best Female Video category last night, but added that she was “excited” when Swift was named the winner.

Pink, who also lost in the Best Female Video category, reportedly had to be restrained by security from approaching West after his rant. Unable to lash out in person, Pink instead turned to her Twitter to attack Kanye, MTV reports. “Kanye West is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me,” Pink wrote. “My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment.”

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert wrote on his Twitter, “Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain’t that deep man,” while Danny Gokey simply used Kanye’s words against him, writing “How could you be so heartless?” Katy Perry was less subtle in her tweet, posting “Fuck U Kanye. It’s like u stepped on a kitten.” Kings of Leon’s Nathan Followill said, “We lost damnit. Maybe next year. At least we got to see the worst haircut since 1984 try to steal the spotlight from lovely Taylor Swift.” For more of the Kanye bashfest, check out ONTD’s rundown of celeb tweets.

Despite the backlash, Kanye won’t be able to hide for long — he’s scheduled to appear with Jay-Z and Rihanna for a performance of “Run This Town” on tonight’s premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show. Barring Kanye canceling on Leno — or Leno canceling on Kanye — you can probably expect West to steal the microphone from Leno’s desk and issue another apology to Swift tonight on air.

Call it racist, call it what you want – I think Kanye hates anything that doesn’t have to do with Kanye. He arrives with a bottle in his hand and you know that trouble is brewing.

A Class A Doucher all the way.

I am waiting for the next South Park skewering of this complete and utter a-hole.

Kayne Wests antics are totally enexuseable what a dirt bag!!

strat12 | 9/14/2009, 9:47 am EST

Kanye, you may have money, (talent?)but you are the most clessless piece of shit on the planet. You don’t deserve to be on the same stage as Taylor. You made me ashamed to be black man, and embarrassing Beyonce like that, man I’d be very happy if you were to just disappear. Your music is now off my list. Scumbag!!

G | 9/14/2009, 9:48 am EST

Schultz what does your comment have to do with race? Why did you even mention it? Kanye is an asshole. Black, white or whatever he shows that he is arrogant and an asshole. There is no need for mentioning race.

But he was saying Beyonce should’ve won. You’re not making sense.

Well when you buy his trash, you empower him to do what he did… Don’t buy his stuff…. Then he will fade away and nobody will care less…

Kanye West has earned his own wing in The Asshole Hall Of Fame.

I'm waiting for the all-caps | 9/14/2009, 9:54 am EST

Where’s Kanye’s ridiculous all-caps rebuttal to all this? His post about his egomania after that South Park episode was fucking hilarious; more so, I think, than the actual episode.

Beating a death horse | 9/14/2009, 9:54 am EST

West..This’s gonna cost you. I don’t know what people think but you are done man. I used to love your shit! but not anymore. Just think about your name already disgust me. Why you are such an ignorant looser man???

LOL Schultz! Yeah if Fishsticks “hurt his feelings” wait till they get done with him next time.

Perhaps they will have he and Bono compete for the worlds largest stool.

Linette | 9/14/2009, 10:02 am EST

i was watching the VMA’s last night and I was so mad @ Kanye’s remark during Taylor’s acceptance speech. I must say I am a fan of Kanye’s work, and not too familiar with the work of Taylor, however now I have lost total respect for Kany West and his actions. Ruining someone’s moment like that?! What would your mother think of you Kanye?!
What a sad moment for Taylor at this point in her career. Congrats Swift, we’re all rotting for you!

deemickey | 9/14/2009, 10:04 am EST

Dear Kanye,

You have no respect for people’s feelings. You had no right to disturb Taylor’s acceptance speech. It is not your right to do so. Also, you are a poor example for today’s youth. Keep your Henessy bottle in your car. At least put it in a plastic cup or something. Kids are looking at you.

Kanye Hater | 9/14/2009, 10:06 am EST

I got one word for Kanye (made famous by Diddy) “bitchassness” SUCK IT, kanye …

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 10:17 am EST

Kanye is the biggest asshole that ever lived!!! I am curious if Taylor Swift were black would he have interrupted her acceptance speech? I really doubt it. And being drunk is not an excuse for what he did. Apologize all you want, it will not make a difference Taylor cannot get back that moment in time.

Ted | 9/14/2009, 10:18 am EST

Kanye is a spoiled loud mouth and thinks his opinion is the only one that matters.

They should have let Pink kick his ass on national TV.

YOU REALLY DID YOUR MOMMA PROUD LAST NIGHT YOU CLASSLESS NO TALENT JERKOFF ! DONT HIDE BEHIND THE HENNY YOU WERE AN ASSHOLE BEFORE THE COGNAC ! I HOPE JA-Z SERVES YOUR BITCHASS ON LENO!!

yuck | 9/14/2009, 10:24 am EST

kanye’s best song was stolen from daft punk. the guys a loser and each year he throws some type of tantrum so he egomania keeps growing. he disgusts me.

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 10:25 am EST

honestly, dnt get me wrong kanye was rude but why are ppl feening.. taylor swift moved on why cant everyone else. we do have lives. they both make good music lets leave at that. its the music awards not how pissed can we get awards.

Cooper | 9/14/2009, 10:26 am EST

Wow. To think that “You Lie” is being labeled as racist by the NAACP and they call for boycotts against an entire state; but yet when I phoned the NAACP this morning no one will discuss Kayne’s remarks – becuase we all know HE could NEVER be racist. I don’t know what he is, but I am sure what he is not – Kayne is NOT A MAN!

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 10:27 am EST

Protest this behavior in a way he’ll hear: Boycott the little bitch.

Kevin | 9/14/2009, 10:33 am EST

Only Kanye being a d-bag could upstage the awesome moment Madonna and Janet created at the beginning of the show. He’s a first class a-hole and I hope he gets blacklisted like Janet did after the superbowl performance.

thatguy | 9/14/2009, 10:33 am EST

Kanye’s just all mad ’cause he was too drunk last week to show up @ Obama’s speech on Healthcare Reform to the joint session of Congress and call Joe Wilson a cracker.

Sylvester | 9/14/2009, 10:34 am EST

Really Pink? The biggest POS on the face of the earth? Worse than Bin Laden? Worse then Mao and Fidel? Worse then drug cartel kingpins?

Kanye was incredibly rude, but all of these celebs are taking this way too seriously. Lambert is right: it ain’t that deep.

robert | 9/14/2009, 10:36 am EST

lmao @ all the people mad @ kanye, i bet any amount of money that youre all white. it aint kanyes fault that he was right, beyonce shoulve won it and no one has any balls to call anyone on it, but when he does it its classless and hes a douchebag LMAO.

Another Kanye Hater | 9/14/2009, 10:39 am EST

Kanye ruined a moment that Taylor can’t get back. Her first VMA. I have never been a Kanye fan, because of his constant bitching. I think we should all back up and let him self destruct. I am sure Taylor’s mother was very classy, I too wonder what Kanye’s beloved mom would have thought. I’m sure she would have been disgraced. Way to go Kanye! Way to go!

Kanye West | 9/14/2009, 10:41 am EST

I like to eat my own poop.

SL | 9/14/2009, 10:43 am EST

Yeah Kanye shouldn’t have been on that stage, but Taylor shouldn’t have either. Single Ladies was by far and away the biggest music video this year and it’s the video music awards.

general | 9/14/2009, 10:43 am EST

I do not necessarily agree with the way kanye said that, he should have waited until he would have won an award or posted it on tweet or youtube or whatever. However the man was right Beyonce single lady video was amazing and no one can’t deny that. also i believe every one has freedom of speech just like you all are saying how you feel right now about what he did, he also said how he felt about that award so leave the man alone. i will always be a KANYE WEST FAN

Loco | 9/14/2009, 10:43 am EST

Kanye, what would your mother think? Taking a cheap shot at a teenager! Can’t wait until karma hits you. Even my teenagers who are huge fans are disgusted, no more Kanye for them (their choice).

Mike | 9/14/2009, 10:48 am EST

Say what you will, Kanye gave great TV last night. His giant ego overshadowed Lady Gaga’s bloodbath, Pink’s acrobatics, Russel Brand’s lame innuendos, and the trailer for the MJ film. Shocking. Odd.

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

Kanye is without a doubt the biggest D-bag on the planet

Kayne Sucks | 9/14/2009, 10:52 am EST

What a POS this guy is. If Pink had won, he would not have gone up there because she would have dropped him off the stage. He only picks on the weak to make himself look bigger. Pussy.

That's rich... | 9/14/2009, 10:54 am EST

“I HONESTLY CALL FOR A BOYCOTT ON HIS MUSIC.”

You’re giving West and all the pitch-correction engineers and loop editors that splice his sorry s**t together WAY too much credit by referring to the product they produce as “music.”

Dorion | 9/14/2009, 10:55 am EST

I like Kanye’s music but I would HATE to be a friend of his. His behavior was unacceptable and unprofessional, even for him. As for Pink, Katy, Kelly, and the others that made their comments on their Twitters and blogs, I’m glad that they’re expressing themselves but we don’t need anymore celeb beefs, please. Also, I commend Beyonce for being a lady and letting Taylor have her moment. Beyonce totally has my respect but I refuse to support Kanye’s material anymore. How the crap is he gonna say that then post a cheesy, half-assed apology on his blog? “Don’t fix your lips like collagen, say something then gon end up apologin.” He needs to practice what he preach. I thought that his momma dying would actually humble him but it seems that it will take God, his celeb friends turnin on him and his fans turnin on him for him to change. I will be prayin for Kanye and that he learns that his big ego (no pun intended, Beyonce) will be his undoing unless he changes his ways.

What Goes Around | 9/14/2009, 10:57 am EST

Ya see, the hypocracy is amazing. What Kanye did was wrong, really wrong. But what amazes me is the inconsistency of the conservative right. I’ll bet dollars to donuts they are outraged! Yet, they hailed Joe Wilson as a hero. Now me, I am outraged at both a-holes! Now that’s fair and balanced!

When are people going to wake up and quit empowering idiots like West. Is this the kind of role models we want for ourselves and our children? Vote with your wallet. We made this monster by buying his music. We can unmake him by not. I hope his demise in the public view is soon, there’s no room in a better world for jerks like him. Ms Swift, you desired better and I’m sorry for the actions of one loser.

Congrats to Taylor!

We all make mistakes, right? | 9/14/2009, 11:06 am EST

He just had a Joe Wilson moment – His “emotions got the best of him”. Actually, I wish I had seen as many people upset about Joe interrupting the President. Anywho, while I don’t agree with his protest technique, I do agree with his opinion. B sould have won in that category. How can she win video of the year and not win in that category? It should have been a sweep. How do they pick the winners anyway?

Kanye is an egomaniac with no respect.

ryan | 9/14/2009, 11:25 am EST

I think this was staged/pre-planned by MTV, Kanye, and Beyonce. If he hadn’t done it, nobody would be talking about the VMA’s. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Beyonce won the more important award, Swift got her speech, Kanye got more press. Bad press is still press.
The man is a genious!

Ivan | 9/14/2009, 11:25 am EST

MTV is no better than Kanye for letting this happen in the first place. I’m no fan of Taylor’s but this was wrong in so many ways, a new low. It really turned me off and I turned off the show.

Taylor (the poster, not Swift)…I assume that you’re defending Kanye, but I’m not sure what “Taylor Swift is fail” means.

reg | 9/14/2009, 11:31 am EST

the funny thing about this whole ordeal is that at the end of the day he’s still a multi million dollar artist who really could care less what everyone else thinks. We all get drunk and mess up but kanye does it bigger than anyone else. You have to love him for his boldness though. Taylor’s going to win plenty of other awards so idk why everyone is acting like Kanye pushed her off stage.

Kanye West is nothing but a self absorbed, racist PUNK!!!! I personally never thought there was anything special about him, and there never will be if he can’t learn how to treat people with respect. He’s just ANOTHER product of the White mans guilt,,,,, A talentless hack! That little girl probably has more actual skill and talent in her pinky then he has in his entire body! He’s worthless!!
Theres a time and place for everything,,,, the Dixie Chicks suffered for there stupid ass comments and so should he!!! Boycott this clown and lets teach him how to behave in public!!!

Now a kanye hater | 9/14/2009, 11:34 am EST

I am not a big fan of taylor swifts type of music but the girl won the award and kanye should have shut the hell up. He was obviously never taught to have any manners, or class.

Good TV | 9/14/2009, 11:34 am EST

Kanye’s outburst was the best part of that utterly boring show! At first, I thought it was a hoax cooked up by the host. Pink & Kelly Clarkson are obvious sellouts & Taylor Swift is a generic non-entity. Only Kanye represented the true rebellious that once was at the heart of good, popular music. I never liked him before but now I do! This reminds me of how they treated Sinead O’Connor for tearing up a pic of the Pope. And Janet looked as if she wanted to say “Kiss my a**” to all you flip-flopping haters. It took Michael dying for all you hypocrites to stop persecuting Michael & Janet. People love them all over the world; and the likes of these minimally talented performers/so-called “stars” on the VMAs will soon be forgotten.

Celebrities in general should not be role models for your children. Their parents, family and friends should be. I think you should wake up and not teach your children to idolize celebrities as you apparently do.

Kayne should be banned (suspended) from all MTV related events and media for at least a year for this. Including interviews and having videos played. He should have made his comments in an interview or on his blog. How and where he did it should be punished the only a publicity hound will understand.

He absolutely DID NOT have the right to go up on that stage and take away from her moment! Anyone who starts talking about free speech….come on, really? He could have said something to reporters outside, on his blog,in interviews….that is free speech….he had no right whatsoever to get on that stage!
It was a normal douche bag move for Kanye….he is an idiot.
Pink would have drop kicked his sorry ass off of that stage if it was her up there!

Now you’re saying I’m sorry so the spotlight can shine on you? You’re black ass ain’t sorry you had that shit all planned out! Bitch! It ain’t about you! Go hang your ignorant self and stop putting our people in the line of fire!!!!

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with civility. He could have said what he felt like saying at a more appropriate time like on Twitter or one of his blogs. What a bad example for our youth. He should be ashamed of himself and I hope Jay punks his ass on Lenno for calling out his wife. Kanye could sure learn a thing or two from Beyonce about CLASS.

Mema | 9/14/2009, 11:50 am EST

While Kanye’s behavoir is a bit out there and he was definitely out of line however, Pink was at the event why is she hiding behind twitter go up to his face and tell him what you think and Kelly Clarkson if it weren’t for Racist American Idol she would never be in the businees so take her fat country ass and shut up…Who cares if she never liked him. I say this only because it tickles me that some of these star really think their opinion matters..Yes Kanye is a loose cannon and does appear to have many issues but really who the hell cares…Taylor Swift is a kid in the business but unfortunately this weird behavior comes with the territory so take your accolades and move on..I guess it bugs me how celebrities put their opinions out there but it is that fans that have an impact. Without fans you don’t have contracts and without a contract there is no money…Then maybe he will be more aware of his actions but this industry is known for it’s outrageous behavoir so why are we shocked and outraged..I do wonder if it was a black artist that won(not beyonce) would he have interrupted her speech and if he had would the public and celebrities have so much to say or would it just be funny..HMMM

Whether you like that taylor swift won or not, she won the award fair and square. And everyone has a different opinion on which video was better so there’s no particular wrong or right. She won and deserved to be treated with respect. Freedom of speech does not include bashing others based on your own judgmental opinions. It’s a selfish act and clearly thats all kanye’s about…himself.

alan | 9/14/2009, 11:51 am EST

I wish some one would just punch him in the face. I know that if I was Taylor’s Dad i would want a piece of him. If he thinks he is that big and important lets see him go to the CMA’s and try that, i bet some country bods would stomp a mud hole in him.

angelcakes | 9/14/2009, 11:51 am EST

They shoulda just let Pink have at him. She would have kicked his a$$. What an idiot.

General, you have been put to sleep by listening to too much Kanye West, it has anesthetized your brain. You speak of free speech and I support that concept to the death, it is one of our most basic and important rights and what your idiot hero did was to deny free speech to a young performer, a mer child, by taking the microphone and the spotlight from her to feed his already massive ego. Beyonce didn’t want or need his totally ridiculous rant in her life, she is a lady with class and talent, neither of which Kanye West can be accused of.
As for all of the Joe Wilson comparrisons, I truly believe that Joe Wilson and Kanye West are cut from the same cloth, they both act in a slightly subhuman way, and niether one of them are worthy of the space they take up or the air that they consume.They are a couple of want to be’s that are realy never should have beens.

George W. | 9/14/2009, 11:53 am EST

chris | 9/14/2009, 12:00 pm EST

Kayne should be banned (suspended) from all MTV related events and media for at least a year for this. Including interviews and having videos played. He should have made his comments in an interview or on his blog. How and where he did it should be punished the only way a publicity hound will understand.

As for the comparison to Joe Wilson, this is ridiculous. He heckled the president (very inappropriate) he did not rush the podium and take the microphone away then proceed with his insult.

TheTruth | 9/14/2009, 12:04 pm EST

Twitter had an “agreement” with Kanye for this stunt. Odd that it played out this way. Apparently he delivered as it overshadowed everything else. They succeeded, Kanye did his part, Beyonce won and looked good by inviting Taylor on stage. Yikes!

Plllllease, Kanye West The Donald are mirror images of one another, they are both talentless windbags that happen to have alot of money and have parlayed huge egos into a great deal of noteriety. I think that is the concept for a great “NonReality show” put Donald Trump and Kanye West on the same stage and watch them try to insult and upstage one another. Now wouldn’t that entertain us for maybe 15 minutes or so.

Kanye West & Jamie Foxx can rip on young white performers under 18 like Miley & Taylor …and everyone just kinda dismesses.

I could not believe my eyes or ears when I saw Kanye act a fool again. He needs to be admitted to

Lets be real it’s Kanye….He can do and say this shit because he is that deal. I love Taylor swift but i will simply say this… Beyonce video was hands down the best choreographed video of our era minus MJ and Janet. What he said was the truth but he could have found better timing. as for everyone coming for him(using derogatory language and terms) I hope y’all don’t think he is worried or even care what is coming out of your mouth.

PCMom | 9/14/2009, 12:25 pm EST

I very much doubt the music industry will do anything to punish Kanye; other than being publically rebuked by fellow musicians, the music industry will continue to profit from him. If we are so offended by this very unkind and uncalled for outburst (which I am, as well as a lot of others), the punishment should be from our wallet to his; in other words, BOYCOTT!!!

Brian | 9/14/2009, 12:32 pm EST

I can’t believe people are discussing this. Seriously. This is a surprise? I guess if all the sheep in the land are going to fall for the same publicity stunt every time there’s a show, why change the routine? Hey, let me clue you in on something else: When Lucy is holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick it, she’s going to pull it away. Now memorize it so you’re not surprised next time you see it, OK?

Jenaya | 9/14/2009, 12:33 pm EST

I’m so sry but I cannot stand Kanye’s behaviour at all. I didn’t care much for his ‘music’ when he started and I definitely don’t care for it now. Leave the girl alone. She won fair and square. We all have our different opinions and that’s what the MTV Music Video Awards are all about. Kanye needs to be shut down and thrown out before he says/does much more like this. What a complete idiot.

bz | 9/14/2009, 12:35 pm EST

Kanye West needs a Taylor Swift kick to the nuts. He’s made one good album, and by that I mean if you took 2-3 songs from each of his 4 mediocre releases you’d have a decent record.

Bonshaw | 9/14/2009, 12:36 pm EST

Mema,
I don’t give a fart in a windstorm about what these celebrities think either butyou are just as out of line referring to Kelly Clarkson as a “Fat country ass”. Unfortunatly it exposes your racism along side of “Racist American Idol”, a show that I have never watched. But when a low life like Kanye West invades my living room to steal the limelight from a mere child to spout his opinion, I am glad that people of all races have gotten upset and joined thier voices to discredit this egomaniac that thinks his opinion is more important than anyone elses.you Ask why Pink hides behind Twitter rather than confronting him face to face onstage. The answer is simple, it is called class! Bony a no class slimedog like Kanye West storms in where he is not invited or welcome and spews his personal racist garbage all over everyone. I am not defending Pink out of any sense of Fandom as I have never even ever listened to a Pink song that I know of, and I detest American Idol, but more than that, I really detest racism in all of its forms. Kanye would have never had the nerve to storm the stage and take the mic away from a black performer, or for that matter anyone more intimidating that a 19 year old girl who was already scared to death. I wonder what Kanye would be saying if the situation s were reversed and and a white performer had trated him with that level of disrespect.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Stupidity has no color, gender or nationality.

Kanye embarrassed Beyonce who showed class in welcoming Taylor Swift back and would NEVER have agreed with what he did.

Taylor Swift deserved her celebration without the tactless and immature rantings from someone who has NO authority.

usafmom | 9/14/2009, 12:40 pm EST

I applaude Beyonce for her class and heart. What she did for Taylor went above and beyond and is testimony to the person she is. Kanye should be ashamed of himself.

Kanye made an a-hole move (though im still convinced it was staged by MTV), but its not like he brutally attacked somebody.

And I’m sure Taylor Swift will get over it… She can use her huge mountains of cash as Kleenex.

Kanye Wast has no class, embarresses us all every year- but this time he went too far- he hurt someone besides himself. Ban him. Boycott him. Anytime I see his ugly face I shall change the channel or turn off the TV. He’s as classy as one of the birthers or Glenn Beck himself. They can all go off a cliff.

What a low-life character that Kanye West is! So immature, such a jerk!!! I even don’t have a word for such a person. I am amazed at how celebs spoke out and chriticized Kanye’s pathetic behavior. I was expecting most of the celebs would be OK with his behavior because most of the celebs are very politically correct, and I think Kanye West dares to behave like this all the time because he expected that celebs would be afraid to speak out even if he acted like an asshole. But I am pleased to see that even celebs have a standard for basic decency.

Congratulations to the celebs who spoke out against Kanye West’s low-life behavior at the MTV award show.

I might be duplicating a previous comment here; apologies in advance — don’t wanna spend a half-hour wading through all of them.

The outburst was bothersome two ways:

a. The VMAs are about as relevant as the network that hosts them. They’re not worth making a big fuss about. BUT:

b. Just because the awards are big-picture meaningless doesn’t make them meaningless to Taylor Swift. She was understandably excited, and she deserved her moment.

Kanye’s a major artist and, I’d like to think, a force for good in general; I still love his anti-Bush rant, still love his pro-gay stance. But that was wrong.

Sam the Man | 9/14/2009, 12:48 pm EST

There’s a reason why Kanye needs Auto-Tune: because he can’t sing. He’s a talentless twat and it’s about time everybody realizes what a complete moron he is.

Taylor Swift – whose music I don’t particularly care for – is the embodiment of class, and she had her moment stolen by this clown.

I agree with whoever said we should boycott his ass. Don’t buy anything by Kanye West. He wants to hurt people; he should get it right back – where it counts.

Anybody who buys a Kanye West CD is condoning his horrible, racist behavior.

not a fan of either one | 9/14/2009, 12:50 pm EST

Leno should cut Kanye and have Taylor Swift on the show. Poetic justice.

It was just wrong on so many levels. It was sexist, racist, alcoholic, politically ignorant, and *heartless*. I’ve lost any respect for Kanye West until and unless he cleans up his spiritual junk.

That said, Kanye really needs to grow the f**k up. If the idiot had just waited until the end of the show, he would have seen Beyonce winning the BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NIGHT – from the audience instead of his hotel room.

Props to Beyonce for letting Taylor finish her acceptance speech on her own time. Now, THERE’S a lesson Kanye can truly learn from Beyonce – CLASS.

Independent | 9/14/2009, 1:01 pm EST

This is not a black or white thing. Kanye is in LOVE with HIMSELF. He should be ashamed and has embarassed anyone associated with him.

Believe me, 99% of minorities/blacks do not support his boarish and self delusional behavior. In my family, he would getting a royal butt whooping.

In fact, Kanye is so tacky and mannerless, he must be best friends with Congressman Joe Wilson. Their behavior is uncalled for and just plain tasteless.

Rick | 9/14/2009, 1:02 pm EST

Kanye must’ve gotten a masters degree in Douchebaggery. He has ZERO class. If you think about it, Kanye West and Taylor Swift are polar opposites. Taylor is one of the most humble performers to date… Kanye is DEFINITELY the most cocky performer I’ve ever seen. I guarantee his label and manager demanded he post that apology because I highly doubt he feels one ounce of regret. I wish those security guards would’ve let Pink loose on his sorry behind. What a tool. Anybody wanna go skeet shooting with Kanye CD’s as targets?

Francis Parker | 9/14/2009, 1:04 pm EST

Man, would everyone just relax?! This was the best thing to ever happen to Taylor Swift. She won the hearts of the entire nation and got publicity money can’t buy.

He has had too many outbursts about awards shows. He needs to realize it’s not about the awards it’s about the fans. Plus I don’t know why he gets so worked up. The VMA’s are no longer anything special because nMTV (non-music television as it should be called now)is no longer the channel it was developed as in the 80s. Bring back MUSIC TO MUSIC TELEVISION.

Phil | 9/14/2009, 1:25 pm EST

What Kanye’s “apology” reveals is that he just doesn’t get it. He keeps saying Swift is talented and made a great song, blah, blah, blah.

News flash Kanye: It’s not about what you believe. I happen to agree that Beyonce SHOULD have won. But who cares man? It’s about how you showed up a 17 year old girl and how you think the only meaning of the word CLASS is that it’s what you drop out of in college.

SuperBad | 9/14/2009, 1:26 pm EST

Kanye is a douche and he will never change. His rant in 2006 and his rant last night was inexcusable. I do not know why they invite him to any award show. With his lame excuse for an apology, he should be banned from award shows. He is a racist and it’s obvious. I am glad that Beyonce has the class and respect to allow Taylor to finish her speech. God gave him a second chance when he got into that car accident, but I bet he’s just kicking himself now because of how he has turned out.

Taylor Needs a Backbone | 9/14/2009, 1:57 pm EST

First of all..

This is for Pink, Katy Price, and Kelly Clarkson.

Pink: A woman who began her career pretending to identify with Black culture, and signing with LA Reid to boost her records sales! (Do not let Kanye West call you out too).

Katy Perry: Promoting same-sex relations to boost her record sales…Can you say No talent airhead?

Kelly Clarkson: Who wants to defend everything and anything from Texas…from GW Bush to Taylor Swift. take advice from real women like the Dixie Chicks, and learn to speak only when you have a REAL opinion on something!

As for Taylor Swift, she is not some poor defenseless woman. At the age of 19, I was rebellious and outspoken…and definitely standing up for myself. Why didn’t she just grab the mic from Kanye and shut him up?!

Chris | 9/14/2009, 2:55 pm EST

Do I think this was in part a publicity stunt – yes, by Kanye for Kanye. He is well known for voicing his opinions at inappropriate times and in inappropriate ways. To garner publicity and make it appear as if he is interested in things other than himself. I think the MTV stage managers let him take the stage to see what he would do (any publicity is good, right). I don’t believe it was planned by anybody but Kanye.

There are conspiracy theorists in everything, the people who think that Twitter set it up, NBC set it up, MTV set it up, or it was a skit (fully scripted and acted), etc. Are likely the same who think the government planned 9\11 or the moon landing was faked on a sound stage, or the Holocaust never happened.

I HATE Kanye | 9/14/2009, 3:13 pm EST

Hey Mema,

Actually, Pink was restrained by security at the VMA’s for trying to approach Kanye after the incident. And, if no one cares about Kelly Clarkson’s opinion, then I guess no one really cares about your’s either.

spinoc | 9/14/2009, 3:17 pm EST

what a jerk | 9/14/2009, 4:28 pm EST

They should have let Pink open a can of whoop-ass on that douche, he more than deserves it, he’s gone too far now. This is not the first time he’s stolen someone’s thunder in this fashion, three years ago he did the EXACT SAME THING at the MTV Europe Music Awards when a couple of bands named Justice and Simian won the award for Best Video and Kanye got up onstage, yanked the mic from them and complained about how his video cost a million dollars and had Pamela Anderson in it and therefore deserved to win instead. Sure there was a backlash, but certainly not enough to ruin his career, as he obviously got another opportunity to do this again. I hope people REALLY see him for the grade A douchebag that he is now. He’s always been too cocky for his own good and he’s always been allowed to get away with it, which is how you end with we had last night. And the worst part is, he’s not even that talented to warrant such an ego. He can’t sing without a vocoder, he can’t play instruments and there’s even some doubt on whether he writes all of his own songs. And his work as a “producer” basically consists of him taking existing songs, adding hip-hop beats and his own rhymes and calling it brand new. Hardly innovative. I’m no Taylor Swift fan, as I do not listen to country music, but even I know that she has more talent in one finger than Kanye does in his entire body. She sings (with no Auto-Tune), writes or co-writes all of her own material, and plays piano and guitar. And she doesn’t go around acting like she’s all that, nor does she rush the stage and disrupts a winner’s acceptance speech when someone wins in a category she is nominated in. As a matter of fact, some of music’s biggest and most beloved acts are also some of the nicest and most humble people you’d ever want to meet, Beyonce being one of them. And she displayed a level of class last night that Kanye sure could learn from.

for people saying taylor needs a backbone. and she couldve stood up for herself, its called she has CLASS . a characteristic most of you including kanye should aspire to have.

nothing more to say other than kanye is a douche.

Chris | 9/14/2009, 5:25 pm EST

1) Kanye apologized? That’s what you call it?. He did not mean it and did not admit he was wrong. He still felt that he was right. He thought if he apologized, it would make everthing look like “oh it was just Kanye”. When in reality he is the same P.O.S. D-Bag. He is working on another draft that he hopes will dig him out of the hole he made. He still does not mean it. Kanye needs to be punished by MTV, a complete ban from all MTV related media and events for at least a year (until after next years VMA’s).

Just because he cannot be charged with a crime does not mean he is not scum.

2) Chris Brown should be in jail.

What kanye did was very, very rude and wrong, kanye…you can say sorry to her over and over she may forgive you because she is sucha good person, but All of us…the fan’s we won’t forgive you. And rihanna You rock for giving taylor another chance to say her speech. Taylor swift ur awesome, And forget kanye he’s bag of poop. What he did was wrong, I no why he was mad. Because mariha carry was behind him sayin “Don’t let him win don’t let him win.” Over and over…he can be mad, but don’t blame taylor she’s one of the niceist people i no. So kanye…”GO DIE IN A HOLE U DIRT BAG PIMPLE FACED SLEEZY BAG OF GARBAGE!!!!” “YOU SUCK!!!!” “YOUR CARRER IS OVER MORON FOREVER!!!” “YOUR SO FULL OF URSELF JUST GO CUT URSELF IN A CORNER.”

bird | 9/14/2009, 6:04 pm EST

As long as you keep buying his shitty recordings he will continue to think he can say and do anything he wants to. Stop buying his shit and he will crawl under a rock and die. Kanye is a no class looser.

never mind | 9/14/2009, 6:12 pm EST

mean people suck. . . that man does anything to get publicity. . even if its bad things. . crazy how people allow it but the reality of it is because he is such an ass I know who he is! I am much more likely to buy a Taylor Swift but a man like that just wants people to know his name. I say CMT invites him to our award show and lets let Toby Keith Trace Adkins James Otto Tim McGraw or any of our other big country boys let him know it aint cool to pick on their lil sis of country music!

Kanye is a self centered POS. Why does he care who wins Best FEMALE video so much?? Big props to Beyonce for giving Taylor her time to shine. Best video of the year is the biggest award and she stood back and gave Taylor her moment. A truly noble act.

And Taylor was in complete shock, any of you saying she should have stood up for herself have obviously never been in a situation like that. Which is only magnified by the fact that she was on live TV in front of millions of people. She walked away, gathered herself and put on a great performance a whopping 9 minutes later. I think she handled it with class and dignity.

Wicked Glitter | 9/14/2009, 10:07 pm EST

OMG! Everybody needs to read what Adam Lambert said about Kayne. Once again Adam is the voice of reason. He told Kanye to just chill because it just isn’t that deep. I don’t think you should want to destroy someone because they said something they shouldn’t have. I can’t wait until next year When Adam wins all of his awards. He may put his foot in his mouth, but you know it will be something silly and adorable.

Kanye "Gay Fish" West | 9/14/2009, 10:32 pm EST

First of all lets keep it real people need to understand that kayne doesn’t care about Beyonce winning. That moron did this because no one was buying his records or his fake ass personality. Taylor is a class act and I guess that made his racist egotistical ass jealous. I think this was the last nail in his coffin. He lost a lot of his fan base by taking on someone who has more fans and admirers in one state then kayne has in the entire world. Let’s not forget about the very classy Beyonce for giving Taylor time to make her speech.

Brandi | 9/14/2009, 10:56 pm EST

What Kanye did was uncalled for and stupid. Every yearhe does the same shit and gets away with it and now he’s finally paying for it. And I’m black, I don’t have to white to trash him for what he did. His music is good but not his attitude. And Pink and the rest of the celebs on twitter are making it worst. And all of them are white so to them its more about race than it is about class. But they all are doing this for publicity abd record sells.

JRL | 9/14/2009, 11:52 pm EST

“we all need to pray for Kanye.” I’ll pray for Kanye to go away.

Pathetic | 9/15/2009, 12:47 am EST

What’s even more sad is that Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, etc. are all trying to get publicity by jumping on the Bash Kanye bandwagon. I mean, really, if they were REAL fans of Taylor, why didn’t they speak up at the awards show and get in his face in person instead of hiding behind their Twitter pages? I bet they wouldn’t have said that stuff in person.

Orgo | 9/15/2009, 12:57 am EST

Truth be told,I’ve never heard a lick of Taylor Swift’s music,but I certainly felt for her after that fuckhead rained on her parade.Disgraceful behaviour of the highest order.If I were the head of his record company,I’d tear up his contract and see to it he’s banished from the music industry for life.

Blah Blah Blah | 9/15/2009, 1:09 am EST

How does art have anything to do with his outburst?? All of a sudden he’s not talented, but the man has 30 grammy nominations and 12 wins…(more than Taylor,Pink,& Kelly combined) Shut the f*ck up already. I don’t agree with the way he handled that situation but you can’t sit here and say, “I’m throwing out his cd’s and boycotting his music.” By the way, he has fans worldwide, millions of records sold, and goes on tour worldwide. So, do your research the next time you say a person’s not talented but has credentials to back it up. For Pete’s sake, you people act like he killed someone.

Pink DID try to go up to him, but the security wouldn’t let her. She actually had to be ESCORTED away from him because they thought she was going to kick his ass.

Atlanta | 9/15/2009, 3:22 am EST

go taylor!though i dont like country that much

and cool it west,think how your mom would react to what you did(

Taylor Needs a Backbone | 9/15/2009, 10:48 am EST

It’s amazing how Caucasians react when ‘their’ people are being attacked. This has received more press than Barack Obama’s speech interruption! Judging by the comments, you would have assumed that Taylor Swift was knocked across the forehead with her own microphone! Everyone is calling Kanye a racist, but I think there are more racists on this site than Kanye West. Katey Perry, Pink, and Kelly Clarkson has received more praises on Twitter, than Beyonce. The only TRUE Black woman who had the balls to get up there and allow this woman to finish her speech!
For the so-called ‘former-racist’ fans of Kanye. It’s ok! The Black community will still continue to support his music…and you can continue to support Taylor who????

Taylor Needs a Backbone | 9/15/2009, 11:02 am EST

And as for Katey, Pink, and Kelly

Get off Taylor’s coattails! You never knew or spoke to this woman in your life! The only REAL soldier that night was Beyonce…and she isn’t making negative comments on her Twitter page like you COWARDS!

Kiana | 9/15/2009, 11:19 am EST

I never thought that anyone could ever be so rude and disrespectful. Boy was I ever wrong. Kanye is such an asshole! I don’t personally like Taylor’s music but she is talented. Even if she wasn’t, no one deserves that. Well, except Kanye himself. I’d love to see him get a taste of his own medicine! And the look on Beyonce’s face just showed that she was like, ‘wtf are you doing?!’ Kanye West, you are the biggest asshole in the entire world!

Shaun | 9/15/2009, 11:39 am EST

This entire topic is about Kayne West’s individual actions. Please eliminate everything else, he acted stupid and should be held accountable. Kayne should be eliminated from any celebrity status he has ever obtained. No celebrity should invite him to anything if they have any respect for themselves. Forgiveness in this matter “IS NOT” an opption.

Re TAYLOR NEEDS A BACKBONE below.

Barack Obama was heckled in congress, As was Bush several years ago – Very inappropriate but hardly the same thing as what Kanye did to a teenager accepting her first award.

If he merely heckled from the audience or voiced his opinion in interviews or on his blog, I would just chalk it up to Kanye being the self-absorbed A$$ he has always been. What he did was reprehensible. Stormed on stage where he had no business being, interrupted Taylor’s speech, TOOK THE MICROPHONE AWAY FROM HER, insulted and humiliated her when she should have been able to enjoy the excitement of the moment.

Kanye is a racist – he has demonstrated this time and time again, however, I do not believe that race had anything to do with his actions. He is a self-absorbed A$$H*** D-Bag who believes his opinions matter more than everybody else. He believes, to this day that his words and actions were correct.

The reason why Katy, Pink, and Kelly have garnered so much kudos is because most normal people are right along with them in their anger and believe this D-Bag was way out of line and should pay.

The only thing you are right about is what a class act Beyonce is. She did have to do something (after all Kanye made her the reason he did it), but she did not have to do what she did.

P.s.The people you are calling out as racist on this board, you are one too.

Shawn Smathers | 9/15/2009, 12:48 pm EST

Monique | 9/15/2009, 3:07 pm EST

For everyone trying to say this is a race issue?! Are you SERIOUS?! This has NOTHING to do with race at all, and I hardly think relating Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident to the President is even relevant.

Kanye has talent as an artist. But as a person, he’s a piece of shit! I’m sorry but even Urban stations aren’t playing Kanye’s music and are dissing him…BET a predominantly black network was even bashing him. What he did was not only uncalled for, but was a very NON classy act on his part. The PEOPLE voted for Taylor…so she won. Beyonce won the award she SAID she wanted to win anyways which was video of the year. Not to mention the fact that at the VERY OPENING of the show they stated that the show was dedicated to Michael Jackson, and for HIM lets make the show about love….Way to F**k that up Kanye…you really showed the amount of integrity and respect you have for others, and more importantly yourself. I have officially lost all respect for him….and surprise…I’m a black woman..

I think that Katy, Kelly, and Pink should stay out of this. Pink claimed that if that was her on stage instead of Taylor she would have fucked him up. But her ass would have been in jail if she did. But this is just and publicity stunt for their failing records to bring in more money. Sure Kanye was a douche but atleast he apologize. Katy, Kelly, and Pink are getting praise on twitter for being sell out bitches. While Beyonce did the more mature thing and got less praise for it. Its ashame that the media supports negative things.

Taylor Swift was on the view this morning talking about this, this girl has class and is way more mature than kayne ever will be!!! I don’t think I have ever disliked anyone as much as i dislike him, he is a waste of space and I wish to never see or hear anything about him again. If he is truly sorry, than why hasn’t he personally tried to get in contact with her and tell her, she said on the view this morning that he has not tried to contact her, shows you he is not truly sorry he just knows he step over the line big time this time and is trying to keep whatever fans he has left!!! He is the biggest loser left on this earth in music!!!!!

Kayne has no talent and for those that say that Taylor has no backbone get a life she didn’t go off crying and hasn’t dissed him at all, he is the one with no back bone if he did he would personally contact her and say that he is sorry, but oh yeah he is too much of a loser to do that!!!!!!

Kanye, Really? | 9/15/2009, 4:40 pm EST

But, really? Really, Kanye? Kanye was out of line. Taylor didn’t do anything to him. And that was just wrong, and he should pay. Im still mad about it. But Beyonce took the more mature path and gave Taylor her moment. Now I remember why I love beyonce. I do fell like he should be banned from all award shows, but everyone (CELEBS MOSTLY) is taking this way too far on their twitters and need to calm down.

semantics, i know | 9/15/2009, 5:35 pm EST

nineTEEN is still considered a teenager. i’m not a huge fan of taylor swift’s singing, but i think she has a great talent as a young songwriter and entertainer. she’s also pretty darn polite and classy (for any age) any time you catch her on tv. i love kanye’s music and think he’s pretty damn brilliant, but his actions were SH*TTY, point blank and it’s not an isolated incident. no, i don’t believe his actions had to do with racism, but i do think he felt he COULD get away with his disgraceful actions because it was just a young “kid” who won and he probably knew that she would be too shocked and nervous to do anything about it at the time. yes, he apologized and his apologies are a start; however when the type of behavior that necessitates such apologies never change, it just seems like so much lip-service to appease the $$ base. i don’t think my few dollars will go towards lining the antics of this really talented artist for a while, if ever again.

chris | 9/15/2009, 7:27 pm EST

for Taylor Needs a Backbone

“You have the audacity to call me a racist?”
Why wouldn’t I? When the evidence points to it. I Came to this conclusion based on a number of your comments and comparisons that I would define as form of race-baiting and this latest one doesn’t help you any. The tone of this indicates that either you believe me to be racist – which doesn’t surprise me, or you believe you cannot be a racist because you are not “Caucasian” as you put it. A racist is a racist, doesn’t matter what side their on.

“Were you this IRATE when Janet Jackson was banned from the VMA’s, and JT was still allowed to perform and accepted an award? NOT!”
This Irate – No, but I thought that situation was f’d-up. They put all the blame on Janet when Timberlake was just as responsible. Timberlake was a prick who played CYA and the ultraconservative parental pressure groups were out for blood the PTB decided to hold her solely accountable. Personally I believe this incident warranted nothing more than a fine to the network and the lead performers in question.

“What Kanye did was wrong, HANDS DOWN!, but to treat this issue like he killed someone…give me a break!!!”
Expressing my distaste for that poor excuse for a human being and calling for a real punishment for his actions (aside from the black eye this has caused his reputation) is not the same as treating it “like he killed someone”. Actions have consequences. In my opinion, He should be punished. Banned from ALL MTV related media for any of their content outlets for at least until after the next VMA’s.

Will he be – I seriously doubt it.

Lost Respect | 9/15/2009, 7:43 pm EST

I lost my respect for Kanye about two years ago. But now I lost my respect for Pink and Kelly Clarkson. I never had any respect of Katy Perry cuz she’s nasty. But Pink and Kelly were just as wrong as Kanye was by calling him a piece of shit. It was childish for them to blog and tweet about it. If they had REAL CLASS like Beyonce and Taylor then they would have said, “Kanye was out of line, and he needs to apologize to Taylor.” or something. But instead they go and bash him just to get some publicity. They are setting a bad example for people that look up to them (well people don’t really look up to Pink, but they look up to Kelly). And I saw Pink on Access Hollywood last night. And she was unclassy and bitchy about it and she calls herself being classy, unless being classy means being trashy.

Gen | 9/15/2009, 7:51 pm EST

To all of you that said that Pink would have kicked Kanye’s ass… You are dead ass wrong. All she do is bluff just to put on a tough girl act. Just because she tried to approach Kanye doesn’t me that she was going to do anything. If she had tried that stunt at the BET awards, her ass would have been running like that bitch I know she is.

They just said what everyone else was saying at the time.They are probably tired of seeing him pull this kind of crap too. After five years of this he needs to find a new gimmick. This one is getting predictable, boring and hurtful. Hopefully if he gets a new gimmick it won’t be so insanely boorish and rude.He ruined the night for Beyonce too. She didn’t get to enjoy her big win either. I watched the show and he ruined it for me too.

This is not life or death. Kanye made a very poor judgement call, no doubt. Shame on him. Taylor has missed that moment in time, she sure as hell won’t forget it. In the long run they both survive to live another day. Kanye will live with his shame and Taylor will live with her pride and talent. Now let us get on with the important things in life.

I just think all of this is unnecessary. I’m not supporting Kanye’s rude behavior but I truly think this whole thing is blown out of proportion. You have Celebs and fans twittering how much they hate him and saying that he’s childish, but in truth their being just as childish by twittering their hatred (Kelly Clarkson saying he wasn’t hugged enough as a child, IMO was a cheap shot at his mother).I think people should just let it go. It wasn’t the nicest thing in the world he did, but he did apologize and you can only apologize so many times. What more do people want blood? I read online that Taylor is over it. I proves that she’s truly forgiving. And if the person he hurt can forgive him, I think that everyone else should just suck it up and do the same.

yeah he apologized | 9/16/2009, 12:36 pm EST

The only thing he is sorry for is that it blew up in his face.

BOOBOO | 9/16/2009, 7:05 pm EST

Im from the southside of Chicago and he just made all of the people who have been with him thru the good and bad look like a bunch of dumb asses… She’s a lil girl dude… chill out.. If beyonce wasn’t pissed y the hell were you… what would your mama have said? Next time think about that before doing some dumb shit like that again.. save us all ur humiliation….

why are some people saying its racist? it has nothing to do with race at all – kanye is a dick, black, white or even green. he was in the wrong and taylor was left on the stage speechless… she probably even cried after she left the stage. beyonce was so nice letting her back on stage with her

listen | 9/16/2009, 11:35 pm EST

has ANYONE stopped and thought for a second, that he was right? i mean sure he’s a dick, and an alcoholic probably drug abusing one at that, and he didn’t have the right to do that blah blah blah but honestly…taylor swift over beyonce? and katy perry and pink and kelly clarkson? seriously MTV? who is picking the winners, not that winning a moonman is all that sacred but come on, taylor swift is a joke in comparison but who gives a shit if she can’t give an acceptance speech at the video music awards!?? SERIOUSLY.
make a big deal if this were to happen at the grammys, which by the way I hope is something that the “talented” taylor swift never wins.

Not a fan | 9/17/2009, 5:48 am EST

I think i missed the show or it still needs to air in SA, but if that was a publicity stund i’m totaly put off. How can a man be soo arrogant. Well I hope his fan base shinks to a point his never needed or welcomed on any stage. Forget an apoligy i wana hear him say I’ve been living my life wrongly and I’m going to change.

kanye need a lot of backbones | 9/17/2009, 3:04 pm EST

oh god….i actually dont want to pose this but after i read all these comments…i need to speak out…

TO”taylor needs a backbone”im going to use adam lambert word

you need to chill out,,it aint that deep.

and why must some people blame those celebreties that react to the incident,,,,just think if kanye didnt mess up that night…they will be no negative reaction from them.
yeah maybe they use some harsh words.but hey…the reason for this trouble are not pink,katy perry,kelly, or anybody else,but kanye himself.
just use your brain to think.
without the reaction i think kanye is not going to apologise to taylor.
i dun even care at all about kanye and other celebrities reactions,,but just want to let u know that dont blame other people for other people mistakes.its all about huminity.

MEMA MEMA MEMA,,,,,if u think kelly’s opinion is not important,,then u think kanye opinion about beyonce should won is A BIG MATTER???Hell no.gosh.think before u write something out….

STFU. | 9/18/2009, 3:47 am EST

Everyone just needs to get the f*** over it.

damiones | 9/18/2009, 2:05 pm EST

First off, black, white, Korean, Chinese, whatever, his move was tactless. I would say so even if he were white. It was an asshole thing to do.

Second for the Taylor bashers lay off huh? She’s a sweet girl and not all of us think Beyonce, who I like as a person, is the world’s greatest musician. I found Single ladies to be very boring and repetetive.

Laura. | 9/19/2009, 9:19 pm EST

Kanye is a WANKER.

He needs to get over himself.

<3 Taylor Swift and Beyonce!

blahblah | 9/27/2009, 1:59 pm EST

oh come on people! yeah kanye west screwed up and i MEAN REAAL BAD SCREWED UP but still we all screw up and yeah it ruined taylors moment and yeah it was cruel but she’s accepted his apology now and she ’s over it so why can’t all you bitches get over too!!!!! GOD YOU MAKE ME SICK you’re all fricking bitches! think about kanye’s feelings right now hes an actual person too. jeeez, and how dare you people even say ” how would you mum feel about this.” that is unessacerily horrid, GET OVER IT!!! he’s only human.

hippy-spice | 10/8/2009, 10:43 am EST

Every time I see him he just seems like an arrogant knobhead. He needs to learn that sometimes you need to keep your opinions to yourself rather but he thinks he’s too important to do that. Maybe it’s time he learned that his opinions carry no more importance than anyone else’s.

haha | 11/11/2009, 9:07 pm EST

how much they hate it- VERY kiss chicks like katy PERRY

gaetano | 11/14/2009, 8:43 am EST

I have never been a Taylor Swift fan, but ,no one deserves what this idiot did.I wish Taylor would have just knocked him over the head with the microphone. As for you, Taylor, you came thru with colors and did the right thing.Do not let a piece of shit like KENYE WEST ever get you down.JUST PITTY HIM!
