Seriously, I can't stand this guy.

He is one of the biggest arrogant, narcissistic, self-important @sshole in the music industry.

And dare I say, he's probably a racist fool too.

Poor Taylor Swift.

He's a worthless attention whore. The sooner people realize that and stop inviting him to these things, the better.

I don't follow this stuff, but holy crap what an ass -- Taylor looked like she was about to cry after that. I'm glad that Beyonce was classy enough to let her come back on and finish her speech. She got major points in my book right there.

Classy move by Beyonce, and a classless move by Kanye.

I can't believe he's even allowed in public anymore. I have to agree with hyteckit that there seems to be a racial element to every one of these stunts he pulls.

It's not about the award. It's about a lack of class shown by someone who wasn't even supposed to be involved.

It was Taylor Swift's moment, not Kanye's. As superfluous as all these award ceremony's seem to be, it still meant something to Taylor.

It's not that this incident alone made me called Kanye West an @sshole.

I always thought he was an arrogant @sshole for a number of years. This just reinforces it.

Now, I'm pretty sure he is a racist fool as well.

Too bad Taylor Swift was on the receiving end.

So, Bush doesn't care about black people and Kanye doesn't care about white women. Just not enough caring in the world.

Seems like Kanye West is making sh*t up.

Taylor Swift Thanks “Gracious” Beyonce for Inviting Her Onstage After Kanye Stunt at VMAs : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily

Contrary to what West wrote on his blog, sources tell Rolling Stone he has yet to apologize to Swift and her mother.
I think he is just making fun of Taylor Swift being talented; Only her mom would think she is talent.

Seriously. What does Kanye West think Taylor Swift should sing about? She a teenage girl with a majority of her fans being teenage girls. She's going to be singing about teenage girl stuff.

What does Kanye West sing about? Girls be gold-diggers, whores, and being heartless.

e: A friend told me that Beyonce won an Award a few minutes later and let Taylor Swift speak instead of herself. Can't find a video of that though.

Word.

It's also worth noting that had kanye not pulled this stunt, nobody would have taken even the slightest bit of interest in these awards. This kind of stuff is necessary because the world stopped caring about ten years ago.

Perhaps I’m being overly cynical here, or perhaps I’m misremembering … but wasn’t there something a bit like this, also with Kanye West, a couple of years ago, where it turned out it was planned and he was paid God-knows-how-many millions by MTV to pull that stunt?

I’m thinking this was meticulously planned by MTV, most likely. Judging by her facial expression, though, that Taylor girl (of whom I’ve never heard, incidentally) was either not in on the trick, or she’s just a very good actress.

You are right:

If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility.


YouTube - Kanye West crashing stage at EMA's after losing to Justice

I don’t know if he was actually paid by MTV for this though. But check what the host says just before the video ends.

It's further down in the Huffington Post article linked in the OP, titled "WATCH BEYONCE WIN AND TAYLOR SPEAK". Basically Beyonce talks about how she was also a teenager when she won her first VMA and how much it meant to her, so she wants Taylor to get a chance to do it.

That's what I thought initially, but Taylor seemed pretty convincing. Maybe she's a better actress than a singer?

Nah, you can usually tell when something's staged. This didn't look that way at all. Besides, Beyonce had no need to give up her speech time and give it to TS.

Not buyin' your theory that it's fake.

I don't believe it was staged but I suspect he is invited to these events in case he decides to have a meltdown....always makes for some good press.

Either way, the guy is a total ass. I confess I've enjoyed some of his music over the years but mentally he's a child. Probably a good thing his mother isn't around to witness his behavior.

...and makes the awards themselves seem like even more of a joke.

These shows aren't really about recognizing accomplishment. They're a big, meaningless party.

It's an episode of South Park. Kanye comes to terms with the fact that he really wants to be a gay fish, so he jumps off a pier and starts making out with a bunch of fish while this autotuned Kanye spoof song plays.

It's really not that funny.

There are good, tremendously good South Park episodes.

The Fish Sticks episode with Kanye wasn't one of them.

Someone planned it. Maybe not every party was in on it but it was staged for the benefit of everyone involved:

- The show gets publicity and increased viewership over its next ten airings this week.
- Kanye gets a thousand percent increased attention boost right before his Leno appearance and on the heels of his next tour leg.
- Taylor Swift gets to reinforce her good girl persona. People who never heard about her yesterday suddenly adore her and their introduction to her plays right into her crafted image.
- Beyonce gets to play the hero.

I just can't believe that over the course of those 3 hours it occurred to no one to let her come back on stage and let her give her speech until the very end of the show. Furthermore, in spite all the negative press Kanye is getting he got to play the dead mom card tonight on TV to illicit some sympathy and retain media attention for one more news cycle.
