Well, I'm just curious. Mostly everyone has heard about what happened during the MTV awards (Kanye's interruption when Taylor was recieving the award). I was thinking...do YOU think he was justified in interrupting that way? Because, if you think about it, he does have a point. Sort of. Taylor Swift (a..well..her music is OK) vs. Beyonce (a music LEGEND) for the award. Besides, Beyonce's music vid WAS great. What do you think?

I do think everyone is entitled to their own opinoins but I do not think is was right of Kanye to do that. This was her moment to celebrate her accomplishments and he just ruined it for her. He had no right to do that to her it was not fair to her or the audience.

Who's cussing anyone out? Didn't your mother ever teach you to not twist the facts? Debating is not inappropriate behavior. You learn it in school for Pete's sake. Really, calm down.

This is amazing. Does no one know what is appropriate behavior? Did any of your mother's teach you basic manners? I don't care all that much for Taylor Swift, but at least she didn't cuss him out.

I loved the word choice but I think it's just freedom of speech what he did an that it was his opinion an he shouldn't have been criticized for just saying what he thinks.

Really. I mean you (Brielle) have an opinion about everything and yet no one else can? :/

Brielle, your one to talk. Every comment I've seen from you is every bit as snarky if not more than Tommy's. You have no right to bash someone else for something you do too. And if you don't like or can't handle the debates, stop reading them.

I completly agree with you Allthegoodnames; Taylor surrounds herself with drama and deep down probably LOVED the fact that she now had something to make her a victim...again. Same with the break-up with Joe Jonas or Drew showing up at her house or any of her many many break-up songs. She should be thanking Kanye. 

And btw, Innocent is a joke. She never "forgave" him. Anyone can tell it's completly sarcastic and if you can't, read the liner notes.

Wow. That was just rude & uncalled for. How can you think that someone's humiliation is funny? That's just cruel.

I agree with Medina D. Honestly? How is Tommy saying anything nicely? Very snarky & rude, actually. The whole argument was stupid. Why can't people just get along? Think about what you type before you post it...Think about if it's going to start a pointless argument. I get it, everyone has their opinions, but no one is on here just to get into childish fights.

Honestly? He was the one that jumped on stage and interuppted her before she could even say her thank yous & you're complaining about her? He could have had a little respect for her and just let it go until afterward and then said in an interview or something...Or better yet, just be a nice human being and not say anything at all. And who's to say who really deserved the award? It could have been either in my opinion.

seriously, she was getting a HUGE award and a lot of people thought she deserved it. Just because one person says she doesn't, doesn't mean she has to make such a big deal out of it. She's just obsessed with drama. You can tell by listening to her music. She got a lot of publicity out of it too. She should be THANKING kanye. Not making a bunch of diss tracks for him.

Well, even though Beyonce's vid was awesome, too, Kanye West didn't really have a right to walk up there by Taylor just as she excepted her award.

i am such a huge fan of both Beyonce and Taylor, but not so much Kanye after what happened!!Taylor won the award and he couldn't accept the fact that his opinion wasn't the only one being listened to so he made Taylor's moment all about his opinion and his ego instead of Taylor's award. Oh and kudos to Beyonce for sincerely apologizing for Kanye's behavior and congratulating Taylor for her win!!!!!
