Kanye West’s outburst at the MTV VMA awards wasn’t his first meltdown. Back in 07 he claimed that he had the video that should have won because he spent so much time on it. The video “Touch The Sky” didn’t win. Even again, last year in 2008 you will find Kanye on you tube. A video of his ranting backstage: “Give A Black Man A Chance”, he continues with “Where’s Britney?”, “Get Britney!”. Comments to this are, “Want to Win An Award Kanye? Quit using pitch correction in your music”.
On an even more interesting note, he’s now been heard stating that he apparently feels like Greg Focker of the movie, “Meet The Parents”. Apparently this is due to so many people who just wanted him to leave after the VMA’s. It was a little obvious why he felt like a focker. Take for instance all of the blog comments he got and all of the angry people in the audience after he interrupted T. Swift receiving her very first VMA in such a shockingly disrespectful way. Taylor had even left you tube videos regarding how excited she was about even being nominated.
Kelly Clarkson, Pink, and others didn’t hold back on anything either. Kelly Clarkson left a blog which said the following: “”I’ve seen you do some pretty s—– things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. …. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone,”
She then continues: “What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone a teenager, feel like s—.”
The former American Idol sweetheart was also nominated against Swift for best female video, but insists that she was still happy for her. “you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a Moon Man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up.”, she said.
“I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and was excited for her. So why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an ass—-. … I just pity you because you”re a sad human being,” she writes. Clarkson praised Swift: “You outsell him, [West]. That’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!” She also appreciated Beyonce and called her a “class act,” for showing grace in the situation.
West then went on the Jay Leno Night Show and apologized. After all the hysteria you almost end up feeling a little sorry for Kanye in the end. A one time fashion leader, wearing all the new styles, even had his own Nike shoes, the “Air Yeezy”. He made a few other fashion statements with his impressive timepieces he wore including the Bape Casio G-Shock watch. According to other sources he was also a fan of Breitling Bentley and other Breitling watches which says a lot about his sense of style.
Like all other artists who have to deal with the issues of celebrities, Kanye will revive in the end and bounce back like all others. It will just take some time since he did basically trample on a new and very young artist. Like Katy Perry said, “F–k u Kanye. It’s like you stepped on a kitten.”. It proves how long of a wait he truly has. Staying out of the spotlight for at least a couple of years would help. Then to come back with honey instead of something bitter always catches more bees.
