What Were You Thinking Kanye?!
What Were You Thinking Kanye?!
I cannot believe Kanye West would stoop to such a low level as to demean Taylor Swift's hard work. He is suppose to be someone that younger artists respect and he is carrying on like an idiot in front of the entire nation. That really turned me off by him as an artist and human being. It is definitely ok to be dissappointed that someone that you would have liked to win did not win, but by no standards is it ok to belittle someone else's hardwork.
Taylor Swift was previously blogging about how excited she was to even be a nominee at the VMA's. She even went as far as to tell her dad the news and cry. She is a developing artist that makes great music. She has definitely worked hard to make her way into the hearts of millions of fans all over the globe. Kanye West has clearly forgotten that we call the shots here, and by WE...I mean..."the fans". I don't know what high horse he rode in on, but clearly the fans liked Taylor's video better than any of the other nominees. I am knocking any of the other artists, but bottom line is that Taylor won. It seems that the other artists were taking it just fine...Kanye must have felt something none of them felt!
Everyone has shown blattant disrespect for Kanye after pulling a stunt like that. I am sure this little stunt is going to cost him a bit of fan base and respect from anyone but idiots. Beyonce was definitely not impressed. The blogs and Twitter (@tmac_9127) have been ringing constantly with tweets about how disgusted people are with Kanye's behavior. I hope he sobers up tomorrow for all the rants he is going to get from Taylor Swift's friends and family and his PREVIOUS-fans. Somehow Kanye's idea of the good life doesn't seem so good.

THE KANYE APOLOGY!
Apparently Kanye was very apologetic the next morning. It appears he came to a newfound realization that his mother would not have approved of his method of expressing his dissapointment that Beyonce did not win "Best Female Video". Kanye clearly still has a lot of growing up to do. Let's hope for our sake that it is before the next MTV VMA show. This image of his apology to Taylor, his mom, and his fans was grabbed from his blog before he removed it later. Apparently his iamge consultant must have alerted him to how that added fuel to the fire. My prayers are with Kanye for all he has endured with losing his mother, but the public doesn't seem to be so forgiving of celebrities acting out. Pray about things Kanye and pull yourself together.
MTV watched West’s blog, screen grabbed the apology, and created a jpg image of it. Thereafter, the apology screen grab was all over press. But by Monday morning, the apology was off Kanye’s blog. Why?
Kanye’s ALL CAPS apology has West blogging:
“I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said,” Kanye wrote in his explanation for interrupting Swift’s VMA win.
“…. I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom,” West wrote. He also took a moment to praise Swift, and wrote that he likes “the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers….
“I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!” He added that Beyoncé’s video remains
