Kanye West

[tbs fanatic]

That is funny. Especially when the Prez says at the end 'That's not true.'

Oh, BTW, for those unfamiliar with what happened, you can watch it here:

Oh - I love that YouTube joke - how funny!

I hope Kanye realizes that he really did make himself look like a jackass, and that his apology is sincere and not just lip service.

I don't know a lot about the current crop of artists, but as for Taylor Swift, I do know a little since she is a favorite of my Wife's.

From what I hear, she is truly one of a kind. She writes all of her own material, she choreographs her own performances, designs and makes (or her Mother does) her own costumes. She is the "Total Package" and from what I hear, "what you see is what you get." She might or might not be "innocent" (depending on what the term "innocent" means) but as far as I can tell, she is one of the few artists that I would stack up to my children and grandchildren as someone to admire for more than their professional talent!

To have someone undermine an acknowledgement directed toward her is nothing short of insanity! I have seen other protests during awards ceremonies, but this one served no purpose in exhonoratiing Bianca if she needed any exhonoration, and certainly made no point as far as Taylor Swift goes.

It was nothing more than a display of a lack of common sense on the part of someone whose work I didn't appreciate before and certainly do not now.

As much as I abhor what Kanye West did, I don't necessarily like the idea of the President of the United States calling anyone a jacka**.

Yeah. And all the publicity he's getting now!

Did you see what Jay Leno did to him?

Well, It's his opinion and he is entitled to it.

I understand where you are coming from Cathy, but to me, it just shows me that he is rather "in tune" with what's happening and that he is Human. I know that it might been more sophisticated NOT to have used that particular vernacular in describing West's actions, but it sure got his point across. And that "opinion" can't come from much higher than that short of from a White Throne in the clouds! <LOL>

I know that if I was West, I'd be heading South!

[Prettymaid]

Well, It's his opinion and he is entitled to it.

...and I just gave my opinion - am I entitled to it?

[EagleLady]

Yes.

ETA: I didn't mean to offend you or anything Cathy, I just happen to agree with the President about Kanye.
