Kanye West...

The reaction to his tantrum was so strong ... and what happened was, he gave everybody the finger," Wilson said.

Stars taking to Twitter returned the sentiment with some harsh words for the sometimes mercurial rap star.

Singer Pink tweeted, "Kanye West is the biggest piece of [expletive] on earth. Quote me," and Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte tweeted, "All i'm saying is Taylor Swift is a young chic and you just walk up and grab the mic."

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton said via Twitter that "Taylor Swift deserved that award, damnit. It is what THE PEOPLE voted! My heart broke for her, she looked so sad at the end of that moment."

Singer Katy Perry weighed in with "F--- u Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten."

VMA nominee Kelly Clarkson took to her blog to publish an open letter to West. "What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough??" she asked.
 
MTV still has music?

Sounds to me like all he is a washed up music performer who cant cope with the fact his star is begining to fade so he needs to get his mug on tv. Taylor Swift should be proud for getting awards at her age, unfortinitly her moment was overshadowed by that ass.

From 7am-9am.:D
 
Oh thats a good time right when everyones leaving for work :rolleyes:.

A station called music telivision videos shows only 2 hours of actual videos and at 7 in the morning.

MTV is an oxymoron altogether.

Still doesn't change the fact that Kanye West is a pompous ass who should be put down.

Taylor Swift and Beyonce both deserve credit for handling that with such class, something Kanye completely lacks.

Now, for my facetious one-liner;)

Kanye West doesn't care about white people.
 
This is another example of people allowing someone to be a complete @sshole and still having a platform because some people think he has talent. What he does does not require extreme talent. There were probably 100 people there who could do what he does better than he does and do it without all the drama.

I thought Taylor handled it with class, from what I've seen and heard about the situation. I didn't watch it, I haven't watched MTV in about 23 years or so.
 
JoeNichols I wish I would have won an #MTV VMA. Kanye would be missing some teeth if he pulled that **** on me.

JoeNichols I guess Kanye gets off on picking on little girls. I guess that's part of his small man's complex.

JoeNichols Kanye responded to my tweet. He is out of control! http://tinyurl.com/kraxpt
 
Kanye was on the first Jay Leno Show monday. He was already scheduled to perform with Jay-Z and Rihanna(sp?). He apparently told Jay that he wanted to talk to him before the appearance to discuss his actions at the award show. Jay brought him out in the same fashion he would a normal guest. Kanye said he hates that he caused anybody any harm. He said he didn't know what he was doing was wrong until he handed Taylor back the mic and she didn't keep going with her speech. Jay said he had the pleasure of meeting Kanye's mom a few years earlier and then asked Kanye what he thought his mother would have said about his actions. He just sat there stunned and looked like he might tear up. After an uncomfortable silence, Jay put his hand on his knee and wrapped up the interview.

If this had been the first time he acted like this, I might have been slightly moved. He was trying to do damage control. The he went out and dropped several profanities, that NBC muted, during his performance with Jay-Z and Rihanna. I actually liked the song they did, but Kanye just doesn't impress me much. Now granted, I am much more of an old school rap fan. I really don't listen to any newer hip hop unless it is on a show like this. But, he just doesn't sound right. Poor voice and poor delivery in my opinion. Jay-Z was great though.
 
Well its a good thing Kanye didn't go all Chris Brown on Rihanna because Jay-Z would have busted a cap in him...
 
I guess I'm totally out of this picture. I've only heard bad things about West, which goes back well over a year. I've never heard anything that he did (I'm assuming that he is a rap star) nor do I care to hear his whatevers. Many years ago when MTV first started, I watched now and then, then switched to VH1 when they would actually show videos of music. Now neither of them do as far as I'm concerned. So, no MTV or VH1 for me and y'all can have what they dish up. It's all yours.
