    Based on Jay-Z’s stupid comment, I can only assume one smells a faint hint of vinegar when he walks by

  2. Jano says:

    He’s a tool also, idiots should just STFU. The more they bring it up the more we mull it over and over and over!!!

    The WOMEN come out looking great! So there is that… B should tell her man to shut it.

  3. Of course... says:

    of course he is, he is Beyonce’s hubby right? You have to stick up for your wife, those are the rules! ..no big shock there.

  4. moo says:

    Well, I guess he shouldn’t be surprised if people jump up on stage when he’s playing and rant about how much better Eminem is… just sayin’ our passionate opinion, right Grade Z?

  5. Trillion says:

    Well, I also agree with Kanye that Beyonce’s video is far, far superior to Taylor Swift’s. “Single Ladies” is one for the history books. Taylor Swift’s is just OK. Kanye’s mistake is not thinking that, nor is it that he expressed it. It’s the time and place. It’s not Swift’s fault the judges handed her a win. They knew Beyonce was going to win Best Video so they threw Taylor a bone. She’s 19. She has great marketability. They’ve got a potential 3-10 years to make $ with her. MTV is business first, art second. It’s to be expected. If Kanye wanted to express that, he should’ve come down on the judges during an interview after the show, not stolen the spotlight from a sweet 19 year old girl at the dawn of her career.

  6. dirty martini says:

    Puh-leez, its all show biz crap. For wahtever reason — right , wrong , agree disagree — the child won. Give her the moment in the spotlight, everybody go home and collect your millions, and tomorrow the whole things of O V E R.

    Bunch of trash talking, silly, whiney, crazy, self absorbed…….

  7. Sakota says:

    I wonder if this whole thing was planned out by Jay and Beyonce. Dark thoughts, but I suspected something the minute I heard Beyonce did the decent thing and then the entire Knowles family comforted Swift. I wouldn’t put it past the Knowles family to try something like this to make Beyonce look better.

  8. alex says:

    Kanye is a douche and anyone who defended him is also a douche. Even if he thinks Beyonnce’s video was the best (which I don’t agree) he has no right to go out there and disrespect Taylor like that, who happen to be the biggest selling artist in 2009.

  9. Eileen Yover says:

    I feel sorry for Kanye that he gets so worked up about an MTV award. Wow. I never watch award shows because WTF are they for?? A bunch of egomaniacs that makes tens of millions a year with music, movies, clothing, perfumes, and energy drinks….they need to pat their backs more with awards too? Barf.

    Ok on another note-I think I need to take a break from this site. I had a dream last night that I was best friends with Jessica Simpson (ew) and went to dinner with RPatz(yum) but with my husband (bummer). I’d love to hear what dream interpreters have to say about that!! =P

  10. Enonymous says:

    Beyonce’s Single Ladies video was hardly ground breaking just another ass shaking routine that she always does for a crappy song, so I don’t know why Kanye got so worked about it, I suppose he was just looking for free publicity and nothing else. As for Jay Z, why people give so much importance to what he has to say I will never know, to me he will always be Beyonce’s husband.

  11. Sani says:

    I agree with you Trillio.
    I have not heard one person say what Kanye did was right. Everyone agree that he should not have went on that stage. I like Taylor Swift but enough is a enough. It’s time to move on.
    May be if half the protest went out to Lindsey Lohan then she can get help but that crack head keep rolling on tearing up the world.

  12. Firestarter says:

    What was so great or innovative about Beyonce’s Single Ladies vid? All it was, was three women dancing around in a black leotard? So what is so great and earth shattering about that? For that matter, it was a stupid song!

    For heaven’s sakes, Beyonce got the big award of the night, so it wasn’t like she was shut out. Kanye is a douche and Jay-Z needs to keep his lips shut too.

    We get it, NO ONE GOT KILLED! However, someone was kind of hurt. It’s over, apologies made, yadda yadda yadda.

  13. Jules says:

    Sure, Beyonce’s video was groundbreaking if you consider ripping off Fosse groundbreaking. I, for one, don’t.

  14. GatsbyGal says:

    He makes me like him with his anti-Chris Brown comments, and then defends Kanye? Oh Jay-Z… ):

  15. chshc says:

    Single Ladies is an awful song and video. People only like it because shes shaking around like shes having a seizure for 4 minutes. The only thing groundbreaking is whatever they were using to keep her boobs covered.

    Taylor Swifts video was pretty lame too, but he still had no right. He should have just thrown another tantrum at the end of the show like he always does.

  16. the truth says:

    enough already can you people get a f–cking life, taylor did not have her virginity stolen or beaten up by kanye stop making a big deal out of this crap. beyonce is an overated fool so is jay and kanye. please people move on

  17. TEK says:

    There is just no defense for rudeness.

  18. get over it says:

    Always tryin to destroy our brothers!

  19. Andy says:

    I don’t think anyone is out to destroy “our brothers” It seems they can handle the job themselves..

  20. Michelle says:

    It’s not about who had the better video and differing opinions on the matter. You can debate that all day long, but it is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the situation.

    It’s the fact that what Kanye did was (typical of his) arrogant and inappropriate behavior. Most people learn in elementary school how rude it is to interrupt people, let alone someone who is being recognized and awarded. Had he kept his big mouth shut at the time, maybe wrote in ALL CAPS on his blog later about how he thought the wrong person won, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

    He’s the one who decided to be a total jerkoff and rush the stage and ruin someone else’s big moment- why anyone was surprised I really don’t understand- Kanye has a freakout at every single awards show he attends. Don’t believe me? Google “Kanye’s history of award show meltdowns”. He needs to just be blacklisted from any future events until he gets counseling or something. Dude’s got issues.

  21. profree says:

    so a once in a lifetime opportunity is no big deal ? manners are sure a thing of the past. I agree with the poster who said Beyonce’s video wasn’t even that great. And another thing to add is Jay Z was said to have been mad at Beyonce for bringing Taylor up, he left her and went and partied with Rhianna. Reverse racism at it’s best. Rude is rude.

  22. geebz says:

    What the hell is reverse racism? Moron!!
    A once in a lifetime opportunity ruined is a big deal…to HER. Who the hell are you people that are riding this thing out so long. Taylor has even accepted his apology and moved on.

    The stuff being posted on Facebook and other online forums is a disgrace. I suppose the people using this incident to fan the flame to excuse themselves calling Kanye the “n” word are loving this because they can get all that pent up frustration out.

    Stop complaining about something that doesn’t have an effect on you. Reverse racism my ass! Idiot.

  23. clare says:

    No excuses for how Kanye acted. Don’t care if his mother died of a plastic surgery mishap.

  24. Sakota says:

    I for one am sick of the idiocy of celebrities. They’ve run rampant for far too long and gotten away with it. Bad enough they have turned the US into their little playground, now they’re doing it to the rest of the world.

    No excuse. They should start being held up to standards of behavior; they have millions, decent behavior isn’t asking for too much.

  25. Firestarter says:

    None of this is a racial issue, one way or the other. The issue is BAD BEHAVIOR and celebrities who constantly get away with it. I agree with all the posters who have said that it is about class, manners and decency. In the scheme of things, it isn’t a major deal, etc. but I think people in general are sick to death of poor manners in this country being an acceptable form of behavior, whether it be a celebrity or anyone on the street. It would seem that no one cares anymore what is said or done. People aren’t teaching manners any longer, nor are they enforcing them. Rudeness used to be the exception not the norm.

    Why do you think American’s are viewed by other countries as rude and lacking in manners? Because so many in this country act like Kanye West and other idiots out there. It is embarrassing.

  26. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Oh I cannot HEAR anyone saying ‘single ladies’ is a rubbish song…that’ll send me over the precipice today!

    Also For Your Collective Information (FYCI – I’m liking that); Swifty and Kanyay share a manager. Clever huh. Manager has good ideas.

  27. Whatever says:

    Jay-Z is one of the biggest douchebags I have ever seen. How he got B I have no idea. His music is worse then Ditty’s.

    Every lady I talk to about him find him fugly. What the hell was B thinking?

  28. Whatever says:

    Douchebag!

  29. profree says:

    Sorry I am not politically correct and yes Kayne is a racist. get a clue and look up his rants. Racist is a racist is a racist. And it has everything to do with the fact. I have a thing called consistency. Don’t like racism perpetuated on any race. And this is a post about my feeling toward the fiasco. Not asking for anyone’s approval.

  30. Andrea says:

    Wow so according to Jay-Z nobody got harmed. So I guess Taylor doesn’t really matter? She’s a nobody now?

  31. lanette says:

    he did not defend that mess he said Kanye was rude and he was….

    Just because Jay-z broke a record that Elvis had now people will try to bring him down..that’s what you all do…

  32. Karen Lee says:

    WHO DIED AND MADE KANYE (*or J-Z) the gods of MUSIC>? What right did Kanye have to ruin the moment of another (young) female? There are enough awards to go around FOR EVERYBODY. Beyonce got HERS for Single Lady a but later. Had Kanye SHUT HIS MOUTH -and NOT felt free to jump up onstage … everybody could have shared the spotlight for all their works.
    DID KANYE THINK BEYONCE DESERVED EVERY SINGLE AWARD BEING GIVEN THIS YEAR?

    These hip hop entertainers think their _ _ _ _ doesn’t stink and that THEY can get away w/ANYTHING. For too long, they’ve held sway over the music business. NOW THEY’RE JUST GETTING tired –and NASTY.

  33. Hieronymus Grex says:

    Douches of a feather, flock together. Jay lives to enforce my believe that with enough money, you can get anyone’s legs apart regardless of your looks or personality.

  34. Tazina says:

    Probably the most unattractive man in the music industry. No credibility either in his opinion on this since it’s just one black man sticking up for another. Time to move on. This is going nowhere.

  35. 4Real says:

    He needs to shut his big ugly ass up. They should have fined Kanye for his stage ambush. The NFL fines players for celebrating in the end zone, why not artists? Who the hell cares what Jay Z has to say.
