Beyonce is quite classy, as well as a hell of a performer. You could tell she was very embarrassed by the whole debacle. And poor Taylor Swift. Granted, she sounds like a less annoying, faux-country version of Avril Lavigne...but that doesn't mean she deserves to have her moment in the sun shat upon by that bastard.

With regard to Kanye, the dude is trying his damnedest to stay relevant, fighting and clawing like the protagonist of a low-budget Lifetime movie trying to escape the abuses of a drunken ex-husband. Album sales should never be used as an indication of talent. That being said, though I never voluntarily listen to his type of music, when I was forced to do so, I never found his offerings to be even 1/50th as insightful or intelligent as he or the media would lead you to believe.

Then again, anyone who wears pastel plaid shorts is an empty shell of a man to begin with.

Fashion which can be described as robot military, talent which is overshadowed by wacky, generally embarassing behavior -- Kanye has been preening himself to be the next Micheal Jackson for a while now.

proving time and time again that he is tacky, tactless, and thinks entirely too much of his own opinion.
he may think that any press is good press- but this time around it may come back to bite him in the end.
even the person he was supposedly standing up for- did not condone his behavior and showed sympathy for taylor.

now he's got an entire generation of tweens that are mad at him for disrespecting taylor.

i also agree with the previous comment about how album sales are not necessarily an indication of talent.

@Los: He was right, Beyonce should've won "Best Female Video." Some might argue, "Oh, well B won 'Video of the Year' so that's why she didn't win the Female category," but that's backwards.

If she had the best video of the year, then, logically, she had the best female video. You can't be the tallest person in the room without being the tallest female in the room. There shouldn't be any tit-for-tat bargains; it should be objective. Of course, I just now realized that I'm arguing about the logical validity of the VMAs, which likely makes me the biggest terd of all.

Dammit.
