Kanye and Gaga at the MTV Video Music Awards
The media was buzzing this morning over Kanye West's outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. If you haven't already heard, Kanye rushed onstage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video, snatched the mic, and loudly proclaimed that Beyoncé had "one of the best videos of all time."
For some reason, this doesn't surprise me at all. It's Kanye, after all. And while this particular incident is all over the media today, it will blow over fairly quickly, as these things tend to do. I was, however, mildly curious about seeing the actual incident, so I dug up some video. Check it out below.
I also came across the video of Lady Gaga performing "Paparazzi" at the awards, and what a performance it was. I found it thoroughly entertaining--dramatic, satirical, and "bloody" good fun (you'll see what I mean if you watch the video.) And she can actually sing live, too. Sometimes her musical ability is overshadowed by her penchant for the outrageous, but she's quite the musician, IMHO.

The worst part of this event is that he will get increased press and exposure for his childish actions. This is a recurring theme with "Super Stars" of Movie, Music and Sports; few or no negative consequences for their actions. Beyonce has just been elevated in my respect scale (not that one person matters). We "lowly" people endure consequences for our actions, so should these "Super Stars"!
