Kanye West, Get Over Yourself
If anyone was watching the VMA awards, then you know that Kanye West could have shown some restraint by not stepping on what could be the most modest, humble artist to have ever made it big, Taylor Swift. After beating Beyonce for Best Female Video, Taylor Swift received her first VMA award and lost her mic to an arrogant rapper who likens himself to the greats as if he will make proud his listeners with more quality music that revolutionizes the industry. The fact is that Kanye West, while talented, can't stand with the Beatles, Elvis, U2, Madonna, or Eminem. The guy is an overinflated baloon with a good voice, bastardized by his recent manipulation of T-Pain-like synthesizers in music that simply doesn't need that artificial touch. He's good, but he isn't epic. Beyonce's video was fantastic, but Taylor Swift won the award. That's legit, and disrespecting that skill is an insult to the voters, the industry, and the winner. Keep your mouth on the radio, Kanye West, and stop judging award-winning talents.

The VMAs are awarded to the artist with the most votes from listeners. It's a democratic method based on the most familiar songs on the radio. While a lot of critics have pointed out that the nomination process could better include more artists, the VMAs are functionally the best fan-based method of awarding good radio talent.

Yeah that really ticked me off. I didn't want to see Beyonce or him for the rest of the night. It was beyond rude.

Well Beyonce won best video of the year and she gave up her speech and called Taylor on stage and let her give her original speech.

Didn't kanye do the same thing but when he lost in Europe or something. I have never liked his as an artist, but one or two songs he's produced have been good. Here's just another reason to not like him.

I think Kanye West's fan page on Facebook is now more amusing than the Honda Accord Crosstour's.
