Here Today... Gone To Hell!

what did u think

didnt see it. i just heard about Kanye West but hes a arrogant cunt and a pathetic excuse for an artist.

I am SOOOOOO glad there were no prominant GNR rumors this year.  I can't even remember how many years I sat through that crap hoping to see something  :hihi:

VMA's suck every year, haha.

duh

don't admit that it took you time to figure that one out.

I liked madonna's speach and the little i saw of russell brand, i only saw the first hour of it

the biggest wtf was of course lady gaga's clothing

Kanye West is a pussy and should be beaten!

I saw it and it did suck, there wasnt as much russell brand as there was last year which also sucked. And Kayne is a dick for what he did, maybe at his next show he should dedicate "Heartless" too himself. Also i couldnt stop laughing at these fucking horrible clothes lady gaga was wearing  :rofl: i just wanted to reach into the tv and slap that bitch around for wearing such stupid outfits.

What did Kanye West do??

Not that I'm all that bothered with stuff like that, but I'm intrigued on this occasion....

"Leave it to Kanye West to produce one of the most infamous moments in VMAs history before the 2009 show was even an hour old. It happened after Taylor Swift?s victory in the Best Female Video category for ?You Belong To Me,? which beat out Beyonc??s ?Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).? Just moments after Swift accepted the Moonman and began her acceptance speech, Kanye West stormed the stage, taking the microphone from Swift to announce Beyonc? deserved the award. ?Yo Taylor, I?m really happy for you, I?ll let you finish, but Beyonc? has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!,? Kanye shouted to a mortified Swift and the speechless audience. And as quickly as he ran onstage ? MTV cut away to show Pink, and when they flashed back to Swift, West already had the mic in his hand ? he was off, leaving a shocked Swift in his wake."

and after Beyonce won video of the year, she invited Taylor Swift to the stage so she can finish her acceptance speech.

theres videos on youtube but they keep getting pulled off.

i saw the video.

its slightly different than what the description claims.

but its funny. you can see shes totally gutted as he hands her the mic n pisses off.

i just copied and pasted that description from another site.

thats why i said "that description"

id of said your name personally if i thought you had wrote it :)

ah alright, i was on the phone when i wrote that and wasnt really paying attention.  :rofl:

oh

Hasn't been one good one in the 2000's other than 2002. Without that, there hasn't been a good once since '93.

Connie always shows his true side! He's a fucking pathetic human being! PERIOD!

Lady Gaga's performance was pretty cool as was Pink's. Madonna's speech about Michael was really nice too.


Something "shocking" always happens at an MTV award show. It almost seems like a gimmick now.

Leave it to the English to completely destroy the language.

Am I the only one that thinks the Kanye thing might have been staged?

... Taylor Swift is waiting backstage ready to come out in an instant when Beyonce calls on her and they are both wearing red dresses?  Like someone said above, it's almost a "gimmick" that something shocking happens at the VMAs.  Kanye's outburst has people talking about the show, without that... you're basically left with Lady Gaga's blood performance which isn't nearly enough controversy.  They also staged that whole Bruno thing at the movie awards where he landed on Eminem with his ass in his face and played it off like Eminem was really pissed off.  They got a great reaction out of that, why not do it again with a typical Kanye award show outburst?

Anyways, even if it was real and Kanye was actually being that much of a dick.... Doesn't it seem odd that he said "Beyonce made one of the greatest videos of all time" and she ended up winning Video of the Year?  Furthermore, how do you lose "Best Female Video" and win "Video of the Year"?  If Kanye was being serious........ he was actually spot on in his criticism.  He acted like a prick, and that's not the way to complain about it, but doesn't he have a point?

I think this is the second year in a row where Billie Joe has said "play more videos MTV", I agree.

But she was wearing that red dress during her performance.

On the whole it sucked... but I really liked the Michael Jackson tribute.  Janet coming out to sing her lines in Scream, and then nailing all of her brothers dance moves was awesome.

the craziest thing is not that kanye did what he did, it's that he called beyonce's video one of the best all time

November Rain, Beat It, Hot for Teacher, and Bohemian Rhapsody would like a word with Connie.

NEW YORK ? President Barack Obama's candid thoughts about Kanye West are provoking a debate over standards of journalism in the Twitter age.

ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to tweet that Obama had called West a "jackass" for the rapper's treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. The network said some of its employees had overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC's John Harwood and didn't realize it was considered off the record.

The network apologized to the White House and CNBC.

Harwood had sat down with the president to tape an interview following his appearance on Wall Street on Monday. Although they are competitors, CNBC and ABC share a fiber optic line to save money, and this enabled some ABC employees to listen in on the interview as it was being taped for later use.

Their attention was drawn to chatter about West, who was widely criticized for interrupting Swift as she accepted an award at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards to say that Beyonce deserved it.

During what sounds like informal banter before the interview begins, Obama is asked whether his daughters were annoyed by West's hijacking of Swift's acceptance statement, according to an audio copy that was posted on TMZ.com.

"I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? ... The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"

A questioner chimes in, "Why would he do it?"

"He's a jackass," Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.

The president seems to quickly realize he may have gone too far, and jovially appeals to those assembled that the remark be kept private. "Come on guys," he says. "Cut the president some slack. I've got a lot of other stuff on my plate."

E-mails shot around among ABC employees about Obama's comments, said Jeffrey Schneider, ABC News spokesman. Before anything was reported on ABC's air or Web site, at least three network employees took to Twitter to spread the news.

One was Terry Moran, a former White House correspondent. He logged on to Twitter and typed: "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."

When ABC News authorities found out about it, they had the tweets deleted after about an hour, Schneider said. Moran declined a request to comment.

But the news was out.

Harwood said there was no explicit agreement with the president that those comments were off the record. But he said it is broadcast tradition that such pre-interview chatter is considered off the record until the formal interview begins. Harwood is holding to that: He would not discuss what the president said before their interview and has no plans to do so on CNBC.

He said he was aware that it was likely someone outside of CNBC was listening to his conversation with the president.

"It's one of those things that's unfortunate," he said. "But I think it's an honest mistake."

There was no immediate response to requests for comment from White House spokesmen.

Twitter, a technology that's a natural tool for reporters who love to tell people what they know whenever they know it, has raced ahead in usage before many news organizations have developed policies to govern its use, said Richard Wald, a former ABC News executive and professor at Columbia University.

"You need to reinforce the sense that you have to verify before you publish," Wald said. "The policies may be very comprehensive, but they may not be adequate to the technology that news organizations have."

The incident is reminiscent of past "open-mic" incidents involving politicians. President Ronald Reagan, while waiting to make a speech in 1984, joked that he had outlawed the Soviet Union and that "the bombing begins in five minutes." During the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. Bush turned to running mate Dick Cheney to point out a reporter from The New York Times and used an obscenity to describe him.

"If you're sitting there with a microphone on, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy," said Kelly McBride, an expert in journalism ethics for the Poynter Institute. "If you're a governor or president, you know that."

She also questioned whether news organizations should be agreeing to go off the record with the president.

Judging by the things written by other Twitter users since West's action, Obama wasn't in the minority, she said.

"The president calling Kanye West a 'jackass' is perfect information for a tweet," she said. "In fact, that's the ideal format. You can do it in 140 characters. There's not much else to say."

That is awesome!! hahahaha



Jay Z and Alicia Keys stole the show. that song is awesome

yeah a gimmick i think to

I wonder if mr West would be mad if Better came out and beat the crap out of anything he had up for nomination if he dose that is :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

"thhhhiiggghhhmmmeeee"

All Beyonce does in that video is dance around with a black background. In her other video she dances around with a white background.


Fail.

I totally agree with you^ def. staged to get reaction and people talking.  I don't think the winner Taylor Swift was in on it, but i'd bet Beyonce and Kayne were.

Tim McGraw (Country singer) says Kanye needs a good country ass-wooping.  :rofl:  I want so badly to see that.  Obama calling Kanye a jackass was one of the best statements he has made.  Each time Kanye opens his mouth he shows how little he knows.  Maybe the 'I am the most important person I know' crowd will learn a lesson here.  The 'fans' supposedly voted for all these 'awards'...that explains why Swift could win Female, and Beyonce could win Best of year...of course it doesn't explain WHY you would have a best male, best female, and best of the year category.   Meaningless 'entertainment'.

im sick of lady gaga's weird for the sake of being weird bullshit ::)

i'm pretty sure she's weird because she is weird
