Kanye is this guy

Thanks pariann.  I was about half watching when they were talking about that and did hear him make the comment but it was one of those things I chose not to retain since it was just a rude, very rude comment made and retaining his name is not worth my time or effort.  Now as for Beyonce that is entirely different.  She is a very classy person, as was mentioned in an earlier post, to have handled it the way she did.  My opinion of her went up a lot.  She has a good voice too.

Not mine.  She should have called him out for being so rude on her behalf and did not.

I think there was a time limit on those speeches.  Perhaps if she'd called him out, she wouldn't have had enough time to let Swift speak.

Besides, West has taken a drubbing over his actions there from a lot of other people. 


Singer Pink tweeted, "Kanye West is the biggest piece of [expletive] on earth. Quote me,"   and Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte tweeted, "All i'm saying is Taylor Swift is a young chic and you just walk up and grab the mic."

Singer Katy Perry weighed in with "F--- u Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten."

Here's another 'celebrity' weighing in...

Of course he will be vilified for it.

Why should he be vilified for it?  He did, after all, state his feelings and they are pretty much what everyone else thinks.

Trust me ... when it makes the Faux News headlines, can World Nut Daily be far behind?

he was being a jerk.  the kid is 17, and had worked hard to earn her shining moment.  adults would be gracious, he acted like a four year old.  he is entitled to his opinion, but others are entitled to a respectful statement of said opinion. wonder how many award shows will ban him now?

So it's okay to say Kanye is a jackass but not okay to say Crowley "acted stupidly".  I wonder why that is

Just sayin....

because Kanye IS a jackass..............and Crowley acted accordingly....

[Sandy Eggo]

So he can verbalize an opinion on one and not the other?

well, if crowley didnt voice his opinion like a mature adult, then he acted stupidly.

Um, how about he was aware of the circumstances of this situation and knew exactly what it was about and what happened? 

[pariann]

Yeah...you really can't doubt televised footage...huh?

So, he knew exactly why Kanye acted the way he did? I doubt it.

He looked at the situation and gave his opinion.
