Kanye West is clearly not Best!

So, I think I've decided to rename and re-do this blog and my inspiration being the recent VMA's. Watching those got me thinking: I'm way more interested in today's world then I am in the fiction books of Mary Higgins Clark (no offense Mary). While I do enjoy reading and solving mystery books as a past time, it's time to move on to bigger, better, and let's face it more importnant things in life revolving around pop culture. In doing so, I can talk about the current issues the press has brought about, the celeb world, and whats new in the trends and fashions of todays world. By doing so, I will encompass more of a variety of things to talk about and therefore have more to say than I do with reviewing mystery books. This first blog I decided to talk about the scandalous act of famous celeb Kanye West, whom I WAS a fan of, but not anymore! Last night I watched a re-run of the VMA's which aired on Sunday night as they were announcing the nominees for best female video, I couldn't help but stare at the nominees. Lady Gaga was up for her PokerFace video and while I think she produces awesome music I must say her fashion sense is a little wacko. Maybe its her culture, I don't know, but whatever she was sporting was not working for her. It looked much like an ugly green sweater with a neck brace and a huge pink feather over her tightly packed-in curled blonde hair. Not cute. Next, was Beyonce, who I believe is so incredibly beautiful its inevitable she's up for the award. Have you seen her dance? Hello, she's amazing. The Single Ladies video was what was nominated and for obvious reasons: clever dance moves, innovative booty shaking, and small little outfits. Also up, was Taylor Swift. She's a personal favorite of mine simply because I think her songs relate to me the most. Whatever is going on in my life, her songs have lead me through to believe there is hope, mostly in relationships and love. She has taught me many things with her words, and her music has a huge effect on me. Her song, "You Belong With Me" was the nominated video, and I feel this song speaks to me the most. But enough about me, you probably wanna know who won? As if you don't already, Taylor Swift did! This being her first VMA award, she seemed humble and overjoyed as she walked up on stage and began thanking all of her fans and producers. A drunken Kanye West approaches on the stage, grasping the mic. out of Taylor's hands and proclaiming that Beyonce clearly had the best video ever. The whole crowd seemed mortified and everyone looked pissed off. Taylor's friends and family all stood up applauding her, all while glaring at Kanye as he walked off. Everyone was appalled by his behavior and it is rumored that Taylor Swift slapped him backstage. Much like any other girl in that situation would do, I hope. But what was most inspiring was when Beyonce won Best Video (ironic that ultimately Kanye's beliefs were right?) and while she thanked everyone she pulled Taylor Swoft up on stage with her. What an unbelieveable role model and respectable woman in the celeb world. Kudos to her for making the night so much better. I wish I could discuss more, but homework is calling my name. Until next time, Have a good one.
