I've been on hiatus for a minute, but the VMAs last night brought me out of my leave of absence. There are moments when I consider the person who invented the dvr to be my own personal hero and last night was one of them. Because when Kanye stepped on stage during Taylor Swift's speech and said he thought Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time, I actually squealed because I couldn't believe what he was doing and had to rewind it immediately. While I know that he has ranted and raved when HE'S lost an award--now he's extending it to being outraged on behalf of his friends? It really is all about his ego. Because he thinks he is the most important thing in music, he thinks his opinion matters more than everyone else's opinion--which is why he felt completely comfortable going on stage and sharing his thoughts with the rest of the world. Hey, we all liked Single Ladies--that's why it went on to win Video of the Year--but that doesn't mean that Beyonce had to win every single award of the night. Kanye ruined Swift's big moment as she just stood there, completely humiliated and unable to finish her speech. Beyonce also couldn't thank anyone in her speech because she had to bring Taylor Swift up and let her finish her speech, so Beyonce wouldn't be tarnished in this mess. One day Kanye's antics will begin to override his talent and maybe then he'll learn a little something about humility.
Also--Did anyone see Lil' Mama hop on stage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' performance? At first I thought it was planned, until I saw the look of shock on Jigga's face and the way he completely ignored her. While I appreciate her enthusiasm for her state, she played herself. That was a big star moment and neither recording her song "Lip Gloss" or being a judge on America's Best Dance Crew put her in that league. What a clown!
Final Note: I'm back on the scene--I took a break because of the wedding (will post pics soon!) and because TravelDiva is very pregnant with her first child so blogging was low on the list of priorities. But I figure that I'll have more time to blog when I go on maternity leave in a couple of months. What's up blogspot fam????!!!!!!!!!
