He's definitely entertaining.

So he acts like an 8 year old kid and you're going to applaud him for throwing this temper tantrum? It makes me sick that that fool makes more money than me. He should be on the streets...

Anyhow I doubt this is scripted. Kayne has shown himself to be an idiot. The Eminem/Bruno thing obvious from the start. Unlike this one where the camera cut away. Its like Bush don't like black people. Mike Meyers was had a WTF which was instantly cut to a Chris Tucker who was like huh.

no romo didnt dant taylor swift. sh e is only like 18 or so. she een dateing one of the jonah brothers.


Country music is well not the country of 20 years ago. its more like rock. sure there are some but the majority are more rock/pop then country.

Pretty blonde girl that sings pop != typical MTV artist? :confused:

She's a country artist, MTV doesn't typically play country music, even if it is pop. Kanye just helped her sell another 50k record this coming week. She can cry into the pile of money she'll make from him being a jackass.

How do you figure? If anything he took a stance against her video in public. How does that help her sell more albums. He's a racist tool and you need to open your eyes son.

No. Jessica Simpson. Homer Simpson's ex wife.

I looked it up. I was thinking of Carrie Underwood who is also a country singer.

and Jessica Simpson is too dumb for homer.

nope. country is not the same as it was ok maybe 30 yrs ago. 20 maybe cutting it close.

there is not as much "twang" or as such lyrics as "tear in my beer". its more like (80's) rock and pop. the lines between country and others have blurred.

you take music from someone like hank williams, conway twitty etc and compare it to say toby keith, or rascal flats.

It's mostly disrespectful to Taylor Swift and perhaps "country" music more than anything else, no way you would script something like this to take away her moment in glory.

The big picture is, Taylor isn't a typical MTV artist, and this incident will result in people who don't give 2 shits about her possibly buying her album. If she had won the award and nothing happened, the only people who would be bringing it up are Taylor Swift fans. Thanks to Kanye I wouldn't doubt if her album went to the top of the charts. Everyone will be talkin about this.

Ummm... her album is already top of the charts

It's current #9, thanks to Kanye it might reach #2, the sales difference between an album that's #2 and one that's #9 is going to be in the tens of thousands. Without Kanye her album might have went up to #6 or so. I doubt she can knock Whitney out of the #1 spot though.

I just talked to somebody who doesn't even like Taylor but hates Kanye so much he will be buying her album tomorrow in hopes she goes #1 and it pisses off Kanye. And then you have the people who will buy her album who normally wouldn't to see whatshe sounds like. I honestly have never heard one of her songs. I might buy one off iTunes just because. This is PUBLICITY, because of Kanye people who have no idea who she is will know her now. With no blowup, nobody talks about her winning an award. Thanks to Kanye it's a huge topic. She will sell a ton of records thanks to him.

Even if that was scripted, it was because Kanye's a piece of shit and everybody knows and expects it.

Umm its been out for near a year. Whitney just released hers. #2-7 are all recent albums. I never heard any of her song but I don't think there are many albums today that stay @ number 1 for nearly 1 year.

Yes, and I understand this week it will be higher on the charts again then it would be otherwise thanks to Kanye. He's a douche but Taylor will make more money from this. Her speech getting interrupted will result in a ton of cash in her pocket from the extended sales. I don't care if her album has sold 20 million copies. She has a chance to hit #1 again, which is rare for an album that's been on the charts that long. This is free publicity, hell her label couldn't have paid for anything this big.

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift has already sold more albums than Kanye West - there was just a thing in the news that Taylor Swift has crossed 10 million total records - I don't think Kanye West is there yet.

I'll never buy anything Kanye touches. My money isn't going to support people with attitudes like that.

You might buy into the idea that this lowlife can touch anything and turn it into gold, but the rest of us know better. If she sells any better it's because she's talented...more so than Kanye...*gasp*
