LOL

She sure as hell would've finished her speech.

Maybe she would have had Mr. Gaines give him a talking to.

OMG now I have the theme song, "Hungry Eyes", and "Through the Wire" stuck in my head. Oh geez - don't ask me how my head hasn't exploded.

^^ lol

and ive got a spinoff thread coming from this.

[tld221]

i wanna see what he says on Leno.

[Kappamd]

I think there was an apology in there somewhere?

[cheerfulgreek]

He's on the Jay Leno show right now. I watched him and he seemed to be very sorry for his actions. He said he realized he made a huge mistake right after he gave the microphone back to her.

[pshsx1]

Man.. his apology on Leno was awkward. 'How do you think your [dead] mother feels about this?'

Hm. And then he went and performed.. even more awkward feeling!

I doubt that ANY apology from him is sincere. It's all a publicity stunt from him and WOW he has a tour coming up? Perfect timing.

PM_Mama, I agree. You're right. As I was studying last night, I was watching tv off and on and they were talking about him and his "apology". At first, I thought it was sincere, but then I started thinking it wasn't. According to Inside Edition, he was also caught drinking too.

lol @ the tour comment.

I walked into college believing that's exactly how it'd be. Forget that it was set in the 80s, I really thought that's what college in 2003 would look like. And btw...those flip ups made my heart skip a beat. Every. single. time.

I'm appalled at the things I'm seing on Facebook:
1. She deserved it b/c she should've known better than to give the mic to Kanye.
2. She deserved it b/c she sings country and shouldn't have gotten a VMA anyway.
3. She deserved it b/c if she hadn't gone and beat Beyonce, it wouldn't have happened.

Yes, they were all dead serious.

I am so sick of the Kanye West dick-riding in this thread and in real life.

You know what's really irrelevant? A non-Greek posting this damn much on GreekChat.

As far as the debate on Taylor's song content-I'm not really satisfied with it. Her target audience sure is though. But I can't listen to her talk about how "unattractive" she is because at the end of the day she can take off the glasses and nerdy clothes (which didn't make her ugly anyway) and still be gorgeous, a lot of her fans probably can't do that. It's just repetitive. But the songs are cute and catchy.

I love Kanye. I feel bad for Taylor. But Kanye makes a large portion of my late musical world go round and I believe that his work will span more time overall as it is musically creative and very "out there".

He shouldn't have interrupted, but it's not like he hasn't done it before. People were cheering when he did it (if you listen) and then when Taylor made that face (they should have let her finish-MTV did NOT help!) it all went down hill from there. His behavior deserves no excuse, but it's not like he's never done it before-it's Kanye being Kanye.

He just happpened to do it to a young teenage girl who looks like a Christmas Angel and makes really good sad faces and I don't think people will every get over that soon, not even me to some extent. I think if it had been almost anyone else, we wouldn't be talking about it THIS much, especially not in this way.

Well said.

For the record, it is particularly odd to me how people seem to be more outraged by this whole ordeal than they were about how Joe Wilson conducted himself the other night. Wonder why HIS butt wasn't kicked out like Kanye?

Sorry, but you're really stretching things here. People are pretty outraged about what Wilson said...have you seen some of the comments and news commentaries about it? Wasn't there also a story about how one of his potential opponents raised a ridiculous amount of money after the remark?

ETA: Here's a sample of the anti-Wilson commentary: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/20...ublican-antics. If you read some of the 500+ comments, you'll see that people are fairly outraged about what he said.
