Na, he's probably just crazy.

I think "Single Ladies" should've won, simply because it created such a sensation.

Taylor Swift is in denial about what genre she belongs to. She's not a country artist. And Swift's "You Belong With Me" has a hook in it that was lifted directly from a Bowling For Soup song.

Beyonce should've won.

Getting people to talk about you isn't being a businessman. Making people hate you probably isn't a good business idea. The whole "any publicity is good publicity" thing isn't true. I think a lot of people are growing tired of his whining.

The weirdest part of the show that I saw was Muse playing in front of a theater of teenage girls, and hearing how the author of the Twilight books cites them as her biggest source of inspiration. Now I can confirm that their fanbase seems to have shifted more toward being girl-dominant.

OJ got a lot of press one night that didn't work out so well for his career.

Kanye West is a hack, and I mean no disrespect to all the other hacks out there.

Tell me about it

Who is the woman with that white fuzzy thing around her face?

Opps I quoted you.

[pytheas2.0]

Wasn't there another award ceremony some time back where Kane was in the running for whatever.....lost.....but ran up anyway while the other guy was suppose to accept the award. And then started insisting he should have won (Kane later said he was joking).

Feel free to correct, but am I remembering this right?

I'm reading through this thread and wanted to see what you guys were talking about

So I type Kanye West into google and the first suggestion that popped up for me was "disses taylor swift".


WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT DUDE?!


I don't listen to his music or know anything about the guy really, but wow, guess stuff like that is why I read so many people hate the guy.

[MAPdead]

it doesn't matter who should of won that guy is a Piece of Sh!t I have never liked him and this just makes me hate him even more.

[Tanv54]

Maybe i'm the only person that thinks this was set up the whole time w/ kanye west running on stage. I mean Mtv love to set things up for ppl to talk about. Just look at Bruno and em&em.

no I don't believe so this guy thinks he's untouchable and can get away with anything.

[STARSCREAM]

I hope someone kicks his ass after the show. That was as classless as it gets. I feel very sorry for Taylor as that had to be embarrassing.

[pytheas2.0]

I"ve looked for photos, but couldn't find any from tonight. If anyone can please show some pics of what the heck Lady GaGa was wearing in all her various "what the" outfits, please post them.

I saw one toward the end of her wearing some feather/fluffy/something wrapped around her face and just busted out laughing. Aside from the blood, it was the most ridiculous thing. Please help me to laugh again at that moment.

MTV is total garbage these days, PASS! Just my two pennies.

[mikejet]

I hear MTV makes you lose brain cells. Not as bad as BET though.

There is a story up on yahoo about it already

NEW YORK, New York -- Taylor Swift's first MTV Video Music Awards win was one to remember.

The country cutie picked up her first Moonman on Sunday night for Best Female Video for "You Belong To Me," but didn't have the chance to finish her speech thanks to Kanye West, who took the stage to interrupt her.

"Thank you so much! I always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these some day but I never actually thought it would happen," Taylor said as she accepted the award, choking up. "I sing country music so thank you so much for giving me the chance to win a VMA award."

But before she could continue, Kanye took the stage to praise one of her competitors, Beyonce, who was nominated for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)."


"Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm [going to] let you finish -- but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," Kanye said, earning the boos of the crowd as Beyonce looked shocked in the audience.

A source on the scene told Access Hollywood on Sunday night that the rapper, who was photographed on the red carpet with girlfriend Amber Rose earlier in the evening, was kicked out of the ceremony shortly thereafter.

And Taylor didn't just earn support from the crowd.



Singer P!nk, also a nominee for Best Female Video and who was spotted smiling when Taylor took the stage, Tweeted, "Kanye west is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me... My heart goes out to taylor swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her."

A number of stars took to their Twitter pages to support Taylor, including Spencer Pratt, who Tweeted, "Pray for Taylor Swift!!! @heidimontag is so upset about evil kanye that she is about to cry for Taylor Swift!"

Former MTV VJ Carson Daly took Taylor's side as well.

"Moments in my days were caused by alcohol not ego. Thy were harmless fun. Taylor's a real pro," he Tweeted. "Whatta bully move."

It wasn't Kanye's first blow-up at an MTV event. At the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006, he ambushed the stage after losing to Justice and Simian's "We Are Your Friends" in the Best Video category.
