Kanye’s a jerk, but who gives a flying fuck about Taylor Swift?

Taylor Swift is very talented. Let the lady grow before judging her against an adult. Kanye has done some good work – past tense. Now he is just an arrogant narcissist, so stay home surrounded by mindless people who agree with you since you support them. SouthPark got it right- he is a gay fish.

he’s like a guilty pleasure of mine, he misbehaves a lot yet he’s so insane i couldnt possibly be offended. This lame awards shows shouldnt even exist anymore, he at leat makes them entertaining! It was like when gary busy kissed jen garner on the red carpet, freaky but hilarious ;)

taylor swifts video wasn’t great, but to say that beyonce made one of the best videos ever, has he even watched a music video before?

single ladies was the most low budget safe approach to a video, the only cheaper one has to be sweet dreams.

Yeah, because nothing low budget was ever good. Good call.

Kanye is like Curious George you kind of expect him to get into mischief. His fans assume the role as the man in the yellow hat and shake their heads and pretend it never happened.

Though tasteless it was thoroughly entertaining. Side note if he insulted the former president how much would he honestly have to muster up to insult a country/pop entertainer.

I never bothered watching the clip of his storming the stage… just presumed that Kanye was correct in anything he was saying, just as he’s always been in the past.

I always new Kanye West was off his rocker, but this just seals the deal that he is an arrogant narcissist who cannot be trusted to act decently when the limelight isn’t directed at him. I love how all of the celebrities rallied for her. Taylor Swift is a fantastic artist. The song is great and the video was cute and moral which may not be epic but is sure more than can be said for most music videos these days. Who really cares what Kanye West thinks? It is a fan voted awards show, the fans decided Taylor Swift’s video was better. In essence Kanye West is saying he knows better than all of the thousands of people who voted. What a tool!

Kanye is funny as hell! Taylors a big girl, I don’t feel that bad for her.

BravoJade September 14, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Sorry, but I wanted to barf when Taylor Swift came back out. It was pure awkwardness. Did she have any idea what she was going to say? Not that I really blame her…
Also, Beyonce’s performance was absolutely stunning.

Kanye West is still the best in the world.
