OK the problem with this is not what Kanye did, but that WTF about "single ladies" being the best video of all time? Like, how many many videos has this dude watched, three?
Also, yeah since when have the VMAs have been anything but shit?
― one boob is free with one (daavid), Monday, 14 September 2009 04:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I can think of at least 3 Kanye West videos that are better than Single Ladies.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 September 2009 04:45 (fourteen years ago) link
kanye was right tho, the "single ladies" video is a classic - no one is disagreeing with him
― dorroughmac (k3vin k.), Monday, 14 September 2009 04:45 (fourteen years ago) link
ok except u dorks
its a classic video imo

Can we get back to blaming hipsters for Kanye's success?
― Hoot Smalley, Monday, 14 September 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
I am totally disagreeing!!! Single ladies is an OK video, not by any stretch of the imagination.
― one boob is free with one (daavid), Monday, 14 September 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
^not classic by any stretch...
― one boob is free with one (daavid), Monday, 14 September 2009 04:48 (fourteen years ago) link
not only is no one going to remember the "you belong with me" video in 20 years they probably won't remember taylor swift either. "single ladies" being the best video of all time is certainly debatable but it's definitely going to be a mainstay on those Top 100 Music Video specials on VH1 and MTV2 from now on, not sure if any other video nominated this year can say that.

not sure if any other video nominated this year can say that.
That's because all the nominated videos (including Taylor's BTW) are crap.

Losing My Religion, really? That video is boring as hell.

Kanye West would make an excellent heel in the world of pro wrestling.
― Cunga, Monday, 14 September 2009 05:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Well I'd have to think about that. On top of my head, I'd say I prefer Empire of the Sun's "Walking on a Dream" and La Roux's "Quicksand" better that any of the nominees. I just think the VMA's have been way off the mark for at least 15 years.

OK I confess I hadn't seen them all. I think I prefer Kanye's own video to both Beyonce's and Taylor's. And yeah, "Single Ladies" is better than "You Belong to Me" but neither is very good.

― both HOOSlarious and truthful (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Monday, 14 September 2009 05:40 (fourteen years ago) link
"Single Ladies" video is more iconic for sure, but I like the sweetness of the "You Belong with Me" video an awful lot.

"F--- u Kanye," said a tweet on Katy Perry's Twitter feed. "It's like you stepped on a kitten."
Pink's Twitter feed made several references to the incident. "Kanye west is the biggest piece of s--- on earth. Quote me," one tweet said.

I just wish he would've given us more insight than "This didn't deserve to win" if he's going pull a stunt. Jarvis made a way bigger comment on MJ performing with his troop of little boys, and he didn't even have to say anything. Fuck, Soy Bomb is more of a comment than this

yes, kanye is a black black guy. yes, taylor is a white white girl. yes, kanye is kind of a dick. yes, racist assholes will take advantage of kanye's dickishness to try to make some badly formed "point". but taking an informal collection of twitter searches for "kanye+nigger" and offering it up as proof of a trend has the same level of journalistic thoroughness and integrity that the NYT shows with it's frequent "Guava Jelly shows up in 4.3 million google searches".
I dunno; this all seems really predictable and sad and tired and i'm not sure i see it as much more than "harry allen: discovering there are idiots on twitter" excepting the reasonable but obvious point that outright racism truly ought to be at least as repugnant to any right-thinking person as threatening someone with direct violence. Claiming that this is noteworthy because we're "living in postracial times" is silly; Allen knows as well as anyone that nobody spread pixie dust post Obama. Shit's getting more and more racist on the daily with all this "not my country" nonsense. What am I missing in that piece that has greater import?

In an infamous moment, after losing, Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard interrupted Shawn Colvin's Song of the Year acceptance speech to protest the loss in the Best Rap Album category, saying that he spent a lot of money on an expensive suit with expectations of winning, and proclaiming "Puffy is good and all, but Wu-Tang is better ... Wu-Tang is for the children".

at least partially feeling all conspiracy theory because (and this may tip my hand as being ignorant of popstuff - but...) i'd never heard of Taylor Swift until this incident, and informal polling around the office this morning has confirmed I'm not the only one.
now she's a household name.
