Kanye West

Kanye West

We couldn’t let the day go by without taking a jab at Kanye West for his outburst last night on the VMA Awards.  We’ve all seen it before, Kanye embarassing himself by pulling temper tantrums for not winning, but last night he embarassed Taylor Swift, not just himself.

Taylor Swift said herself she never thought she would win this award,  she was genuinely surprised and delighted to have won.  Within seconds Kanye West took the moment away from her, and no apology from him can change that.  His behaviour was disgraceful to say the least.  All I thought to myself was “How dare he?”

We’re sick of your childish outbursts Kanye, grow up or stay home for the next awards.  Thank-you to Beyonce who later invited Taylor up on stage and showed some class.  It’s quite obvious she did not support Kanye’s outburst in any way, we could see that on her face when he jumped up on stage and interrupted Taylor.

I for one, don’t think of this guy in the same light anymore.  I now will hear his songs and think “what a jerk” instead of “what a great song”.  It doesn’t take away that he has had some great music out there, but it sure takes away from how you listen to them.

On the other hand, Taylor Swift, who I liked but wasn’t a huge fan of , has gained a lot of my respect,  particularly for her reaction when asked by reporters how she felt about Kanye.  She stated she did not know the man so wasn’t going to say anything negative about him.  She stated when he jumped on stage she was at first happy to see Kanye West….then disappointed when he spoke.

Your class outshines his by miles Taylor Swift and one thing’s for sure, we will remember who won that award.
