This years VMAs were exciting... thanks to Kanye West!!! He became "the bad guy." Like when Andre the Giant ripped Hulk Hogan's cross off in 1987, he instantly became the show's (and the Twitterverse's) instant @$$hole.
He jumped onstage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for 'Best Female Pop Video,' grabbed Taylor's mic, and said that Beyonce should have won, then handed the mic back to Taylor (who was awe-struck as to what happened).
Then people started boo'ing Kanye out the building whenever he was nominated.
My question... why??? Why would Kanye get so emotionally involved in Beyonce's music? In the past everytime he's looked like a tool it's been to better himself. Why do something so drastic for someone else?
My thoughts:
A) Kanye thought HE was Beyonce for a moment and got pissed off. Gotta lay off the Robitussin, Kanye.
B) Publicity stunt by MTV to combat decreasing ratings for the VMAs. 2 big stars... big money = big ratings.
C) Taylor Swift and MTV publicity stunt: Label is trying to push Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me" to #1. It's down spins nationally. MTV needs ratings. Perfect storm. Pay Kanye to be the bad guy (and get press) and put Taylor down - as lovable as she is. As a result people talk about the VMAs, Taylor makes it to #1, and Kanye still seems unpredictable... and everyone wins.
By the way minus 300 points to Kanye West for being the biggest ass in award show history and setting himself further back than mesozoic plantlife. Douche.
Andre ripped his cross of in '87? Only one I remember was Taker ripping it off in '91. Then again in '87 I was too busy getting left behind on playgrounds at birthday parties.
