Video Music Awards

I know it is not front page news, but it is SHOCKING. If you haven't already heard, Kayne West grabbed a microphone from Taylor Swift, who won best video of the year, while she was saying her acceptance speech. He persisted to tell the crowd that Beyonce deserved the award and that she had had "one of the best videos of all time"

Not that I honestly care, but what's with the disrespect? I can't understand why someone would do that to a fellow artist. It's people like that who give others like them a bad name, and make me want to slash their tires, rob their house, and leave them penniless and friendless on the side of the road. I think that musicians especially have a hard enough time getting noticed and being liked, but country music is even harder to be recognized in. Taylor Swift caught a big break after working for 12 years to even get a start. Her family put everything aside just for her to get a start, not even to get popular. When she received the award for best video, she deserved it, and earned it. Kanye had no business telling her that someone else did it better.

Opinions are like Backsides...everybody has them, but respectable people don't share them with the world.
