one of my friends thinks its to make sides. Sharks vs Jets. Beyonce vs. Taylor and it will play out later in reference to west side story. She wants to know where Kanye came from. Did he just walk up on stage? Whether my friend is right or not, that was still rude of him to do.
Okay, were people standing in support of Taylor or Beyonce at the end of that clip?

Well that's a bigger slap in the face then Cobra Starship singing WSS!
Elphie - I think it was for Taylor.

WTF is wrong with Kanye?? that was so embarrasing!
And, what the heck is wrong with this Lady Gaga chick & what is she wearing???
Love GaGa.
Lady Gaga is entertaining, to say the least! She's so nuts, I can't hate on her too much.
Poor Taylor. Even Beyonce looked mortified! Just when I was starting to think Kanye was kind of endearing...
Does anyone else think Russel Brand is not funny?

Kanye West should be BANNED from the radio for what he just did!
I can't stand Russell Brand! I thought after last years catastrophe, they wouldn't invite him back. But what do I know?

MTV needs to be shut down and built from scratch. This is the biggest mess I've ever seen. Talk about an embarrassment to our current culture!
Our current culture, and what passes for talent and entertainment nowadays, IS an embarrassment. MTV just reflects it.
I remember the days when the MTV Music Awards were at it's best. The most controversial thing that happened was Madonna singing like a virgin in a wedding dress or Howard Stern being lowered over the stage as Fartman.MTV execs only encourage bad behavior and conduct. As a matter of fact, Kanye may win an award for this stunt from MTV.Can you imagine if someone did this at the Oscars?

"This is the biggest mess I've ever seen. Talk about an embarrassment to our current culture!"
There is no way you could write that if you saw the Tony Awards this year.
Beyonce is the best performer in that industry...in my opinion.
^ bahahahaha! Win. *edit* oops this was supposed to go below Namo's post. lol
And I agree, Kanye is a jerk. He ruined that moment for her forever. She's just a teenager for crying out loud!
^
Agreed! What a cool performance!
EDIT: I was agreeing with CS but I also agree Kanye is a jerk!
I think Beyonce is pretty good, just a couple of her moves struck me as vulgar.
I've only been watching since the end of True Blood, so I missed the Kanye drama. These are my thoughts so far:
- Love Green Day, don't think they picked the best song as their new single.
- Work it, Beyonce.
- The Katy Perry close-ups are annoying as hell.
oh, and btw- a better performer is Prince, I think.
Beyonce's was a good performance, I just wish she really sang! I know it's stupid to expect that nowadays, but she's one of the few who actually can pull it off live. There were tidbits here and there, but I'm SO SICK of that stupid dance. I'd rather hear her belt it out than watch that go down again.

Ughh. Just watched what Kanye West did to Taylor. What a petty and selfish move by him. Seriously, of all the awards that Kanye West complains of Beyonce not getting, it's an MTV Award?! Seriously?!
And even then, someone should have just pre-superglued his chair before the awards started. At least it would have given Taylor Swift enough time to finish her speech.
I find Beyonce to be a shrill-voiced rip-off rather than the best performer of this generation. I've never been a fan of her and still don't understand why people fawn over her voice.
Never could stand Kanye either. Irony is, I LOVE Gaga.

Lady Gaga sang live. And I'm surprised the resident theatre nerds are praising her for the Phantom of the Opera homage.
