The VMAs...I'll try to keep this under control

If you somehow missed it or would like to see THE event again here is a link to a story and video.

Taylor Swift was nominated for Female Video of the Year along with

Katy Perry: Hot & Cold

Kelly Clarkson: My Life Would Suck Without You

Lady Gaga: Poker Face

P!nk: So What

Beyonce: Single Ladies

After reviewing all of the videos I still believe that Taylor's video was far better than Single Ladies. While I am clearly a but biased, I believe that Taylor's video was extremely creative and well designed. On the other hand Single Ladies was very well choreographed but lacked any sign of creativity. Seriously, it was her running in circles for 3 and half minutes. But I digress, that is not the point of this post.

My feeling on this is that Kanye West has showed time and time again that he cannot control himself at awards shows or on live TV. If he would have had even an ounce of self restrain he would have been able to witness that fact the Beyonce's video did indeed win the high honor of Video of the Year (even more prestigious than the award Taylor received).

By going on that stage he knowingly took away the symbolic moment of Taylor crossing over from the niche of country music to mainstream pop music. In the end though, because Taylor showed that she (unlike Kanye) does have self restrain, managed to leave the stage without any other incidents. This just shows how classy she really is and it will ultimately improve her career. Already "You Belong with Me" has jumped from number 13 on the iTunes chart to number 7.

After the show Kanye made a non-apology apology on his blog. That is less than an apology. He says that she should give up her award b/c he gave up one award once. How about all the times he's bitched b/c he hasn't won. He's just another hypocrite. Taylor worked hard and has sold more albums than any other artist this year. So she certainly deserves to be a contender for the award. No matter what your opinion is though, the way Kanye acted and continues to act is unacceptable which is why Kanye West will be the first member of my "DEAD TO ME" list.

After the incident many celebs tweeted/blogged about it and their responses can be seen in my next post.

All in all I would like to again congratulate Taylor Swift! and I can't wait to see her win more awards and for the release of Fearless the Deluxe Edition on Oct. 27! <3ts<3
