How do you feel about Kanye West after he crashed Taylor Swift's award speech at the VMA's?

Kanye stormed the stage just after the first award, for Best Female Video, was presented to Taylor Swift. He cut the teen singer off, grabbing the mic and protesting in support of Beyoncé.

"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," he proclaimed as B looked on from the crowd, stunned.

His protest against Swift, however, was not well received. West stood briefly on the stage after his comments as the crowd was silent. Audience members then began to clap in support of Swift after West left the stage.

According to reports from inside the house, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat. Wale then said to the crowd, "You can't blame a man for speaking his mind." His words were met with boos, and Wale then said, "Kanye, I tried." During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away. West remained steadfast amidst the commotion as he kissed his girlfriend Amber Rose.

I think he sucks, he bites really good songs and tries to make it seem like he has accomplished something. I think his music is uninspired and uncreative.

It was old the first time around, what makes him think it'd be okay this time?

Once again, he's a F'n douche.; ▶ Reply to This

He should learn to do what everyone else seems to do and express his opinions later in a more appropriate forum rather than interrupting a little girl during her FIRST Moonman award. She's only 18. Seriously how rude and self serving.

Yeah Beyonce is the hotness, everyone knows this, but let Taylor have her day too. It's not the Kanye Awards. If he wants to make those then he should, otherwise unless he has been asked to judge he needs to shut his mouth.

He samples from other peoples music, and he does create a new sound from them, and I do enjoy his music, but he makes me sick.; ▶ Reply to This

MTV quit playing videos over a decade ago and the days of the big budget music video are mostly behind us. Now days most people see videos on Youtube. It would be interesting to see them do a video awards show that displayed the creative work of musicians and directors working on a limited budget.; ▶ Reply to This

I never liked Kanye West, his brash behavior, his outlandish personality, his ginormous ego- he disgusts me.; ▶ Reply to This

He should be made to write on a blackboard 100 times " I must not act like an ASS-HOLE, even though I am an ASS-HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!

And who wants to know what he thinks anyway?; ▶ Reply to This
