Is anyone else out there watching the VMA's? Taylor Swift just won the best female video award. As she was up on stage saying her Thank Yous, Kanye West walked out on the stage, took her microphone, and said that Beyonce deserved the award because she had the best video! I seriously cannot believe he just did that. What a $@#@$%. I've lost all respect for him. I feel so bad for Taylor Swift. The look on that poor girl's face! Did anyone else see this? What were your thoughts?

I'm no fan of Taylor Swift, but that was just wrong. What a jerk! There are so many artists that deserve that award just the same, but you don't see them jumping up and looking like a fool. What a jerk! Back when Kanye West started up his music, I was a huge fan. Now I appreciate some of his music, but he has pulled more than one stunt like that, which convinced me what a conceited jerk he really is. Not much of a respectful artist to others, just to himself.

I really don't understand the appeal of Taylor Swift's music, She is an above average singer but her songs are nothing great. Beyonce on the other hand is a brilliant artist.

Well this award was about the video itself. Even if you don't like Taylor Swift (which I'm sure there are lots of ppl out there that don't) you still don't do that to someone....He made himself look like a real worthless human being.

Well I did not have much respect for Kanye West as a person anyway. I think he should be able to say his view but from the way you described it he did do the wrong thing by acting like that.

I agree that people can have their own opinions - but you don't walk out on the stage, STEAL the mic from the person thanking everyone for their win, and say someone else deserved it! It's just wrong.

Not a huge Kanye fan. That was so lame and tacky but what's even worse is that he's making a huge public spectacle of this MULTIPLE apologies so he can get even more attention from the incident. He is such an egotistical narcissist.

OMG I did NOT watch them but this sounds like something Kanye would do. He's known for being a pretentious, arrogant jerk. I think security should have tackled and restrained him at that point. He had no right doing such a thing. He thinks he can get away with it becuase he's a famous rapper..but jeez. What a horrible thing to do. If I was Taylor Swift I would be throwing punches not sitting there and taking it (LOL but she's probably a little more modest than me.) Kanye's opinion..Who cares what Kanye's opinion is?! Ugh! People win for a reason - usually because the majority of people vote for that particular person/song; award shows are not based on his narrow-minded opinion. Another thing - I think Kanye is a little racist in a way, or at least discriminatory. I just get that kind of "vibe" from him. I can't explain it, though, sorry. lol. And I don't know what not-liking Taylor Swift's music has to do with anything.. I don't think you started this discussion so people can criticize her music. . I'm not too big of a fan of hers, but I would side with her ANY day over Kanye. He's just out of line.

THANK YOU. You're right - the reason I started this discussion was because I was just outraged at what Kanye had the balls to do! I don't care if Taylor Swift is the worst singer in the world - you still don't do that!!!

Kanye is full of crap, his ego is going dent his career. At first I thought he just wanted the attention but now I know he's the king of jerks!!! But I'm happy Beyonce stepped in and allowed her to have her moment even though it'll be a moment she'll never forget.

Wow, I watched the clip on Youtube this morning, and I have to say I was absolutely gobsmacked that he could be so petty and rude on national television. I'm happy Beyonce came through for Taylor in the end -- she's obviously a woman of great class and poise, unlike Mr. West.

I missed it but heard about it. I will watch the repeat. I never liked Kanye West and now after that he is a total disgrace as far as I'm concerned. He is so rude and arrogant, I really can't stand him. What I don't understand is what people think he is so great. I don't see it.

What's synonymous to sore loser? U guessed it tight! Kanye west! Personally, what's with that guy? His music doesn't make the world go round, or even vice versa... Good thing Taylor kept her cool.

I did not see it, I read it via the internet though. To say the least, I was shocked with Kanye's uncivilized behavior. For him to have done that, he must have been under the influence. But way to go to ruin Taylor's first VMA! of course, Taylor and Beyonce are not of the same category but even Beyonce did not felt too bad about it, and so why would he be so irate? I am not a fan of Taylor but surely doing something like that ain't cool either!

I've just watched the clip on youtube. He was really rude, and Beyonce looked not too happy about it. Poor Taylor!

I didn't respect him before that *shrug* but isn't it amazing how a 32 year old man can be less mature than a (...what is she, 17?) 17-year-old kid? A kid half his age? I don't get the appeal of Taylor Swift. In my opinion, her voice is annoying and her lyrics have no staying power. She, or at least the songs she's performing now, will be forgotten in ten years. But that doesn't excuse his behavior. And what about Beyonce? I thought she was more mature than to approve of someone behaving like that "on her behalf."
