Oh my gosh. What Beyonce did was absolutely great.

Oh my gosh. What Beyonce did was absolutely great.

 

I agree, I just saw everyone updating their facebook saying how mad they are at Kanye so I watched the video of what happened on Yahoo and I honestly think that was just rude, I feel really bad for Taylor and Beyonce did a very nice thing like you said above.. Can anyone tell me what happened after Taylor said lets try this again, because im not watching it and thats all that I saw online..

[ThisTime]

She just re-gave her speech, properly thanked everyone she wanted to thank, and gave Beyonce a big hug.

Oh ok, thanks! I feel so bad for Taylor.. I haven't really listened to much of her music but I know she's really nice and deserves that award.

[Acacia]

I can't believe anyone would do that!!!! I'm pretty speechless about it. He needs to understand that it happens, people don't get the respect they deserve from time to time. Really though, this isn't a case of it. You can't win every award and Beyonce has proven herself a success for many years. Just because she didn't win doesn't mean she's any less popular. What a jerk!

[ladylindsey]

Yay Beyoncé for being a lady at the end! I ain't gonna lie, I cried some happy tears rofl.

Just finished watching the award show and I loved Taylor's performance. Also, huge props to Beyonce, for letting Taylor do her acceptance speech. I love Kelly Clarkson's letter to Kayne:

 

Dear Kanye,

 

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh!t. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh!tty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, @sshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my @sshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

 

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an @sshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

 

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

 

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

^^ haha yea, I love what kelly wrote. Although i wanted kelly to win, I also love Taylor. If it was me, i would probably punch Kanye in the face, but I love how Taylor held herself like a lady. All i can say is, good thing kelly clarkson or Pink didnt win that award, because Kanye would have been in the hospital with a broken nose and maybe broken balls..haha.

I just cannot understand how someone can do that, and especially to an innocent teenager who is so sweet.

I just hope he loses respect from people and no one buys his records, cuz he doesnt deserve being in the industry. GO TAYLOR!!!

[Black Kitten]

that's so sweet of Kelly Clarkson. another reason to adore Ms. Clarkson.

Kanye West Has Truly Lost It This Time

Posted Sun Sep 13, 2009 9:08pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

 

You know that saying, it takes a village to raise a child?

Apparently, Kanye's village has failed him. He obviously doesn't have a real friend in the world. There does not appear to be anyone who can get through to him, to make him understand that he needs to curb his obnoxious behavior.

 

I thought it was a joke when Kanye showed up on the MTV Video Music Awards stage next to Taylor Swift, right in the middle of her acceptance speech for Best Female Video for "You Belong With Me." It was the first Moon Man for the 19-year-old country starlet, who has become an equally huge star in the pop world.

 

"I always dreamed about what it would be like to win one of these one day," Taylor said with surprise. "I never thought it would happen."

 

As Taylor continued, Kanye interrupted, saying he thought Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video was wrongly overlooked. "Hey Taylor, I'm really happy for you, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."

 

Taylor looked humiliated. I felt humiliated for her. The audience booed him, and gave her a standing ovation.

I didn't expect Taylor to win that award, and I'm not upset about Kanye's opinion. However, bum-rushing the stage wasn't the appropriate time and place to express his disagreement.

 

Not only was Kanye's approach disrespectful, it was especially disrespectful because it was directed towards a woman--a teenage girl, actually. Taylor won't turn 20 until December. I can only imagine how her father feels. I'm sure he would like to have a talk to Kanye. I'm not related to her, and I'd like to have a talk with him.

 

If Kanye wants people to win the awards he thinks they deserve, he should create his own event. He should name it after his website, KanyeUniversecity.com, and webcast it.

 

Kanye is a guest at the MTV Video Music Awards. He does not determine the winners. The winners are determined by popular vote.

 

Furthermore, aside from the fact that Taylor Swift is a top-selling artist, who has revolutionized teen country pop, she did not have any competition in this category as her competitors Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Pink, and Kelly Clarkson split the pop vote. Taylor had to get 100 percent of the country vote, plus some of the pop vote as well.

 

It's simple math that even a "College Dropout" should be able to figure out.

 

Ironically, a MTV writer joked that Kanye's rant was an indication that he might be inebriated. "Kanye West ruins Taylor Swift's big moment," the MTV.com editor wrote. "Further proof that he's on the Hennessy. In my humble opinion, that is."

 

MTV also reported that Perez Hilton and Hayley Williams started a #TeamTaylor trend on Twitter.

 

Pink tweeted about her annoyance with Kanye. "Kanye West is the biggest piece of sh-t on earth. Quote me," she wrote. "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."

 

Kanye has previously made award show rants about Gretchen Wilson, Justice and Simian, as well as Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, but this was the worst.

 

I give credit to Taylor. She handled it gracefully. The audience countered him by giving her a standing ovation, and booed Kanye throughout the night whenever his name was mentioned.

 

Taylor performed "You Belong With Me" live just minutes later. I watched, wondering if she would feel flustered, and if it would show in her performance. But it didn't.

 

I think she channeled that negative energy into a positive. Good for her.

 

Fortunately, Taylor got another chance to complete her acceptance speech. When Beyonce accepted the Best Video Award for "Single Ladies," she invited Taylor back on stage.

 

"Wow, this is amazing," Beyonce said when receiving her award. "I remember being 17-years-old and up for my first MTV award with Destiny's Child. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So, I'd like for Taylor to come out and have her moment."

 

Taylor then joined Beyonce on stage and recited her acceptance speech, only making a subtle reference to the incident. Before rattling off her special thanks, she said, "Maybe we can try this again."

 

After the awards, Kanye posted an apology to Taylor on his website, KanyeUniversecity.com. "I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM," Kanye wrote on his site, AP reported. "I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"

 

Still, MTV should have thrown Kanye out of the event. Had any other heckler had the audacity to interrupt the broadcast, they would have been thrown out and probably charged. He should not be treated any differently.

 

This dude needs help.

[Bellamy]

What an a******. He's so rude.

[Duchess]

somewhere there's a village missing an idiot. i wish they'd come fetch him and lock him up for good. this poor girl was mortified at what he did and couldn't find words after his pathetic antics. only a mentally challenged person does that. and i hope he falls hard now and never gets the chance to get back up.

[trls]

Beyonce is such a sweetheart and genuine person for letting Taylor finish her speach. That really surprised me how nice of a diva she is! I got so much more respect for her now. Celine would of done the same!

[Black Kitten]

actually the Beyonce-Taylor moment was planned. Beyonce's dad Matthew Knowles asked Taylor to stay at the side of the stage because he asked Beyonce to give Taylor a chance to have her moment again.

 

props to her and father. such a class act.

[trls]

Oh, I should of figured this was too good to be true. Beyonce would never give her spotlight to someone (like in destiny's child).

[ThisTime]

Oh snap.

She could have said no and went on with her award speech though.

[Lou555]

I saw that, how rude of him! Never seen something like that before, who does he think he is? That was so bad, very offensive I thought. I really felt bad for Taylor Swift! Whoever thought of it, at least Beyonce did react to this stupid gesture and did it as a lady.... Happy to see she's well-surrounded. Edited September 15, 2009 at 05:01 AM by Lou555

[Black Kitten]

what Kanye did was uncalled for. that was the most ridiculous and classless act i have ever seen on television. i have lost my respect to him totally. some people say it was staged, scripted and well planned. but i don't believe Taylor and her mom would've allowed Kanye to embarrass her in front of thousands of people.

 

i think Kanye also rallied few years back when Mariah Carey failed to bag the Album of the Year trophy in 2006's Grammy Awards.

 

i swear to God i haven't listened to any of his music in its entirety. i'm so proud of myself. screw him! what a douche bag!

I think Beyonce did that for Taylor so people won't think she asked Kanye did it. A clever move, but I don't think it's sweet.

Taylor Swift: Kanye West Called, 'Was Very Sincere in His Apology'

 

If anyone's equipped to bring Kanye West and Taylor Swift together two days after the mic-grab heard 'round the world, it's the ladies of "The View." (After all, when Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg command you to hug it out, how can you say no?)

 

And indeed, after Swift appeared solo on the ABC daytime talk show today to share her thoughts on West's outburst at Sunday's MTVs Video Music Awards, in which he climbed on stage and interrupted her Best Female Video acceptance speech to say, "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce [Knowles] had one of the best videos of all time," she got a call from the rapper herself.

 

Representatives from "The View" said West called Swift after her appearance on today's show, and she accepted his apology. Swift later told ABC News Radio, "Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology."

 

During the broadcast, Swift recounted what went through her head during the VMA debacle.

 

"My overall thought process went something like, 'Wow, I can't believe I won, this is awesome, don't trip and fall, I'm going to get to thank the fans, this is so cool, oh, Kanye West is here. Cool haircut, what are you doing there?'" the 19-year-old country singer said today. "And then, 'Ouch,' and then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.'"

 

Asked if she would accept an apology from the rapper, Swift said, "Sure," but added, "he has not personally reached out or anything."

 

She went on: "I'm not gonna say that I wasn't rattled by it, but I had to perform live five minutes later so I had to get myself back to the place where I could perform. ... All the other artists that came and showed me love in the hours following it, all the people tweeting, all of the fans ... it was wonderful to see all these people defending me so that I didn't have to."

 

Co-host Goldberg quipped, "Well, I'm sure if Kanye's watching, he'll know what to do."

 

West did, in fact, apologize multiple times before calling Swift personally.

 

He posted a rambling apology last Sunday night on his blog that stated, in part, "I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"

 

[Frida]

Sooooo, Whoopi had to mini-threat him into apologizing personally? Oh what an honorable man..

 

 

My God

[Lazeras]

She was mortified and embarressed, and part of it was being treated with such disrespect in front of all of her fellow artists and fans and knowing it was on t.v. to millions. But the speechlessness she exhibited was also caused by this: according to someone that was there, Taylor said that at first she thought maybe the audience was cheering Kanye for what he said and agreed with him, and were booing her. Since she thought this, there's no wonder at her immediate collapse of joyful excitement at winning an award she didn't believe she would win in the first place to complete chagrin and sorrow and humiliation. I think if it hadn't been for that momentary confusion about the cheering/booing, she would have recovered and spoke before they cut her mic off.

 

I really wish there was audio of what she was saying when she started speaking again, until she realized her mic was off.

 

Another thing, I at first wondered why she didn't thank Beyonce in her speech, but the reason was she was just doing her original acceptance speech because she was feeling overwhelmed at all the love and support she'd been receiving, and she had already spoken to Bey's dad. Also her hug and what she said about Bey afterwards in the backstage were full of praise and thanks.

Any which way you look at it, she was completely classy, beautiful and an example of how strong and incredible women can be.

I officially cannot stand that #ss Kayne West. !!!what a prick!!!!! how dare he do that!!! he mortified both Beyonce and Taylor!!!!

Yeah it would be hard to try to figure that out in a moment like that. Taylor should have no doubt anymore after the flowing of support she has received. I hope it doesn't shake up her confidence in the future.
