Okay, having just watched both Taylor Swift, and Beyonce's videos... HOW is Beyonce's better? It's three women, dancing, in black and white, and just showing off what they can do - admittedly, all three are phenomenal dancers and they get Mad Props for it.

Taylor's... tells a story. Like her song. Maybe I'm strange, but I'd rather have music, and video, that mesh together, and tell a Story than three people dancing on a sound stage that... I am not very interested in watching.

... Sorry, I forgot to close the door on my Earth Logic today.

(Personally, I think Kanye's outburst was because Taylor is pale blonde, white, thin (very thin) and I think she has blue eyes - meaning, Aryan Ideal. Beyonce, while well toned, and very fit... is none of those things. Reverse racism? Maybe?)

Umm. Have some boobies? (Semi- NSWF)

	Kayne West was an absolute ass, no doubt about it, but I don't think we need to make this about the oppression of White people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	... Okay straying into unfunny territory. Boob train? I have pixelated boobies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Boobies bring us all together, though this is the best my icon set can currently do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Which video is best is a matter of taste, though. Taylor's vid was nice but I was filled with mad respect for the lady who could crazy awesome choreography in those painfully high heels. Damn. But I think we can all agree on the fact that Kanye is a douche. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I kind of hated the stereotypes in Taylor's video. Either way, it is nice. For many people 'nice' just doesn't have much impact either way. But I was staring transfixed at Beyonce's video. Yes, on the last point. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think the reason he probably thought it was awesome is because it became an internet meme. I, personally, like both of them. Beyonce's is full of just AWESOME dancing, and is just visually stark. Swift's has nice costume's, decorations, etc. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I can't speak to his motivations, but I was wondering if he'd have done the same thing if someone else had won. For example, if he'd done that to Pink, she'd probably have kicked his ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Verbally if not physically. Though physically would have been nice to watch. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah, can't be that Taylor is country and he's previously had a beef about a country act winning over him. Can't be that Beyonce is his label-partner's wife and he feels a loyalty to her. Nope, gotta be ZOMGREVERSERACISM and oppression of the poor white people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It must be awfully nice to be able to say dumb things about race and then throw a bunch of boobies around when people call you on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Actually it was a misspeak (because uhh... brain dead? Whatever.) I made a verbal/textual booboo and and am now trying to make up for it by supplying boobies. I cannot supply chocolate or alcohol; boobies are the best I can do.

Would you prefer self-flagellation? I'm not into that sorta thing, but I can maybe find it for you if you'd like.

Do I think Kanye might be racist? Yes. I do. It's a personal opinion. Should I have said "reverse racism"? No. So, I supply boobies.

	Nevermind the whole history of the music industry screwing over black artists in favor of safer white acts, which Kanye may very well have a legitimate beef. He did it because he hates white people seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The irony of his rant is that from what I've read, that same video of Beyoncé's won an award in a different (possibly more impressive? not sure) category later that evening. So he made a total fucking arse of himself and shat on Ms Swift's moment of triumph for nothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wallflower 2009-09-15 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Right. Taylor Swift won "Best Female Video," but Beyonce won "Video of the Year," which is the Big Prize, so Kanye's outburst was...premature, to be polite about it (or, to not be polite, just fucking stupid). (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Was Pink up for "Please Don't Leave Me"? That vid is so creepy. I mean, I love it, but it's creepy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
