I could not believe my eyes while I watched the 2009 VMA's tonite. Taylor Swift had just won an award, begun to speak and graciously begin to say thank you when Kanye West boldy approached her on stage. He took the microphone away from Taylor Swift and began to tell everyone in his own way how Beyonce should be the recipient of the award. In all my years of watching award ceremonies, this is the rudest behavior I have ever witnessed. The voters voted and voted for Taylor. Of course, everyone will now be either talking about Kanye West, or Taylor Swift on September 14. What could she do? Exit stage left and the show must go on. Perhaps his opinions could have been shared in a more professional manner, but not during an acceptance speech.

I must add that Beyonce is a class act. Towards the end of the awards, Beyonce won video of the year, and instead of using the time to accept the award, she offered the time to Taylor Swift and let her have her moment. Hats off to Beyonce for showing Kanye West how to behave!

    I totally agree with you in this matter, an interview after accepting the ward could be the best way to discuss the opinion.

    Taylor Swift should have grabbed the mike back and called Kanye a moron. Kanye does these stunts every year to increase record sales. He is an idiot.

    It was most likely a publicity stunt. No one would do that, not even Kanye. And even if he tried, security wouldn't just let him get up on stage like that during a speech. The whole thing had to be set up by MTV.

    Sadly, it does not appear to have been a publicity stunt. I read on other blogs that he was removed from the VMA's and his performance was cancelled. He issued an apology today to Taylor Swift. However, Kanye neglected to apologize to Beyonce for putting her in such an awkward position.

    Kanye,kanye,kanye what were you thinking bro. You a dumb ass. Dude you should have had a little more class than that. Didn't your mom teach you anything in life,maybe manners. But I can honestly say Taylor Swift and Beyonce were class acts. They should maybe do a duet together. Kayne they say you are known for your beats, well go beat yourself in the ass. You desereve the Dumb Ass Award. Grow up bro,let this be the last we see of your stunts. Kanye.... You BEEEEEEEEEEEEach.
