Taylor Swift and Kanye West

According to http://theconversation.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/16/taylor-swift-and-americas-future/, on the MTV Video Music Awards there was a little more excitement that what most would have thought happen. Taylor Swift was up against Beyonce for the woman’s music video. And as Twilight’s Taylor Lautner announced that Taylor Swift the winner she was surprised when announced. With that she went to the stage and began to make her acceptance speech when Kanye West got on to the stage and took the microphone away from Taylor and said that Beyonce had the best video. With that announcement made Mr. West went back to his set and stayed the remainder of the show. When Beyonce finally won an award she asked Ms. Swift to come out to the stage and share the spot light. Pink also felt sorry for the way Mr. West treated Ms. Swift. At some point Kanye apologized to Ms. Swift’s mother with a very distraught Taylor Swift in the back.
As I began reading this story I just could not believe a musician would do that to a fellow musician. I continued to read and my respect for Beyonce increased and my respect for Kanye decreased. I felt bad for Taylor Swift and only could image what Taylor was thinking when she saw him coming to the stage. Along with what Beyonce was thinking when Kanye made that statement. I feel that the producers made a big mistake he should have kick out.
My respect for Beyonce increased because she allowed Taylor Swift to come out on to the stage with her to share the spotlight just a little more. Yes, Kanye has the freedom to speak what is on his mind but there are times they are appropriate time to way it. One of them is not taken taking microphone and saying it on world wide networks.
With this going on I had to find out what the other papers were saying. Then finally I look on mtv.com were I found the store and everything that happened during breaks. I found out that during a break he gave the audience the bird and some more things. Then finally returning to his seat, after sometime Pink got up and shook her head discuss. What was going through his mind when he interrupted her? I could only think that Ms. Swift is one of the most strong willed people that has grazed my ears with their music. I think when Kanye’s mother God rest her sole, decided to go over the “Golden Rule,” he must have been playing his music or he just doesn’t care about other people like that. Looking at the many different pictures regarding this matter one caught my eye and that is with Kanye holding a bottle of alcohol, it was bad enough he dishonored a good person, but he being a celebrity bring alcohol to an event that people use him as an example. I would ask what was he thinking but obviously he wasn’t thinking about anyone. It amazes me knowing how this man loved his mother as he did but finds it acceptable to act in the manner he does in front of millions as he did. His actions reflects his mother and that was a slam in my eyes.
