VMA update 2

So I'm not saying that:
  1. VMAs are unimportant.
  2. Kanye's a douche
  3. Taylor Swift's video is the best one I ever saw
Again, perspective people. This award show IS about the videos and NOT about performances and/or singing abilities. It's about who makes the video that appeals to people most. To me, this award show is less important than the Grammies or the Music awards. Not to say that it isn't fun though.
What happened? Taylor Swift won the award for 'Best Female Video'. Beyonce was also nominated and Kanye West felt that she should have won, because she is the best artist at the moment. Kanye would not be Kanye if he didn't climb on stage to tell people that. He interrupted Taylor Swift to do his thing, while poor Taylor stood there not being able to finish her thank yous and not knowing what to do. This was her very first MTV award and obviously that was very important to her. I felt very bad for her. (For the record I do think that Taylor Swift is a good singer. I quite like her.)
Kanye's action during Taylor Swift's thank-yous was uncalled for. As I said, this said nothing about her performances or her abilities as a singer. Of course she shouldn't have won if this was a music award show, bacause 'Single Ladies' is a better song than her song 'You Belong With Me'. But it's not a music award show. This time, it IS about entertaining people visually. I'm sorry Kanye, but this time, you're wrong. (But in any other award show, he would have been right)
