What are you talking about? He's amazing.
Why do people care about irrelevant matters like this? She's just the next act who writes bubblegum music, dresses in ridiculously elaborate fashion and there will be a new one of her soon enough.
Either dance to it or emulate her style, but what's the point of getting worked up about it? Radio is so innocuous anyway. I think you secretly love her but you're upset that she isn't less embarrassing to admit liking.
Just admit it and close the thread.
Yeah, really, who cares?
The one who must be stopped is Kanye.
Kanye is a bitchass motherfucker.
that beyonce video wasn't even the best of the year, let alone the decade.
I read on cine's facebook that apparently he dissed that country singer again in his blog after the show? what a douche

I guess. I didn't read it that way but it must have been removed for a reason (other than excessive punctuation.)

WELL I READ ON TWITTER
President's opinion of Kanye West sparks debate
NEW YORK – President Barack Obama's candid thoughts about Kanye West are provoking a debate over standards of journalism in the Twitter age.
ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to tweet that Obama had called West a "jackass" for the rapper's treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. The network said some of its employees had overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC's John Harwood and didn't realize it was considered off the record.
The network apologized to the White House and CNBC.
Harwood had sat down with the president to tape an interview following his appearance on Wall Street on Monday. Although they are competitors, CNBC and ABC share a fiber optic line to save money, and this enabled some ABC employees to listen in on the interview as it was being taped for later use.
Their attention was drawn to chatter about West, who was widely criticized for interrupting Swift as she accepted an award at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards to say that Beyonce deserved it.
During what sounds like informal banter before the interview begins, Obama is asked whether his daughters were annoyed by West's hijacking of Swift's acceptance statement, according to an audio copy that was posted on TMZ.com.
"I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? ... The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"
A questioner chimes in, "Why would he do it?"
"He's a jackass," Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.
The president seems to quickly realize he may have gone too far, and jovially appeals to those assembled that the remark be kept private. "Come on guys," he says. "Cut the president some slack. I've got a lot of other stuff on my plate."
E-mails shot around among ABC employees about Obama's comments, said Jeffrey Schneider, ABC News spokesman. Before anything was reported on ABC's air or Web site, at least three network employees took to Twitter to spread the news.
One was Terry Moran, a former White House correspondent. He logged on to Twitter and typed: "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
When ABC News authorities found out about it, they had the tweets deleted after about an hour, Schneider said. Moran declined a request to comment.
But the news was out.
Harwood said there was no explicit agreement with the president that those comments were off the record. But he said it is broadcast tradition that such pre-interview chatter is considered off the record until the formal interview begins. Harwood is holding to that: He would not discuss what the president said before their interview and has no plans to do so on CNBC.
He said he was aware that it was likely someone outside of CNBC was listening to his conversation with the president.
"It's one of those things that's unfortunate," he said. "But I think it's an honest mistake."
There was no immediate response to requests for comment from White House spokesmen.
Twitter, a technology that's a natural tool for reporters who love to tell people what they know whenever they know it, has raced ahead in usage before many news organizations have developed policies to govern its use, said Richard Wald, a former ABC News executive and professor at Columbia University.
"You need to reinforce the sense that you have to verify before you publish," Wald said. "The policies may be very comprehensive, but they may not be adequate to the technology that news organizations have."
The incident is reminiscent of past "open-mic" incidents involving politicians. President Ronald Reagan, while waiting to make a speech in 1984, joked that he had outlawed the Soviet Union and that "the bombing begins in five minutes." During the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. Bush turned to running mate Dick Cheney to point out a reporter from The New York Times and used an obscenity to describe him.
"If you're sitting there with a microphone on, you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy," said Kelly McBride, an expert in journalism ethics for the Poynter Institute. "If you're a governor or president, you know that."
She also questioned whether news organizations should be agreeing to go off the record with the president.
Judging by the things written by other Twitter users since West's action, Obama wasn't in the minority, she said.
"The president calling Kanye West a 'jackass' is perfect information for a tweet," she said. "In fact, that's the ideal format. You can do it in 140 characters. There's not much else to say."

Can we please change the title of this thread to "Who Gives a Fuck?"
Yeah, change the thread title. Epic fail there. Thank god xixaxer's saved this thread.
As for Obama, I say, hell yeah. Good for him. lol@Kanye. Off yourself, nigga! Off yourself
I can't wait for an interviewer to ask KW: 'Kanye, how does it feel that the leader of the free world thinks your a jackass?'.....

Jesus...sorry. :yabbse-sad:.......
don't apologize to jesus. he doesn't care.
did anyone see the little int. on leno? it was kind of priceless...
leno: so when did you know you were wrong, was it afterwards right when you were doing it, when did it strike you oh oh...
kw: as soon as i gave the mic back to her and she didn't keep going...
[audience laughs]
leno: lemme ask, i was fortunate enough to meet your mom years ago, what do you think she would have said about this?
kw: .....:yabbse-chokes:... :yabbse-cry:
[death silence]
leno: :therethere: ....would she be dissapointed in this? would she give you a lecture?
lol@leno's last q
the best came right after that... "you ready to sing for us?"
the whole thing was so hilariously childish... "your mom sure would be upset with you... it's okay, you want to sing us a song? huh? Come on little guy, wanna sing a song?"

Oh, yeah, I forgot his mother got kilt while having plastic surgery to make herself look better.
That seems kind of low to bring up Kanye's dead mom's hypothetical disapproval after he interrupted something as important as an award acceptance at the VMA's. That's pretty fucking poor taste.

i would say the entire thing was set up as it was good for all parties involved:
1. kanye's PR peeps - they've been going insane since the VMA's. this helped put their client in a MUCH better light.
2. leno and his team - very calculated move and in NO way a coincidence that the Late Night Comedian moves to prime time and within 30 mins he's being a soft, quiet Dr. Phil in the heat of a major controversy. cat nip for TV critics.
3. kanye - that fuck needed a good cry
I kind of got the "all being staged" vibe from the fact that it's the VMA's. It's from MTV, and this is how they get ratings. Who gives a fuck about the VMA's anymore? I forgot they even do them anymore until it was plastered all over the news that Taylor Swift still got the award, but that KANYE WEST ALSO SAID SOMETHING KIND OF RUDE.

wait, what? i think you missed what i was saying. i'm talking about leno's remarks to kanye. i'm saying i bet kanye and his people knew that in advance... that he would kinda school him like that on national television to make him cry. everything else: not staged.
It was another wording snafu on my part.
Obviously the Kanye thing on Leno was setup like Michael Vick on 60 Minutes, but I'm saying that the whole event reeks of staging. Not necessarily at the VMA's, but they're among those who stood to gain as well.
Kanye West and Lady Gaga's North American tour cancelled
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A U.S. and Canada tour by Kanye West and Lady Gaga has been canceled with no reason given just weeks after the rap star came under public fire for humiliating country star Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony.
Concert promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Thursday that the "Fame Kills" tour, that was due to kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on November 10 and run through January, had been canceled with refunds available at the point of sale.
West came under fire after an outburst at the MTV Video Music wards when he grabbed the microphone as country teen star Taylor Swift was responding to her best female video award to say that R&B star Beyonce should have won Swift's trophy.
The Grammy winner has since apologized to Swift and expressed regret twice on the Web and in a TV appearance on "The Jay Leno Show" for his behavior that drew boos from the crowd and prompted a ban of his music by some radio stations in California and Florida.
West told Leno last month that he needed to take "time off," saying he hadn't taken enough time to grieve for his mother who died in November 2007.
"I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve," he told Leno last month.
They tried to make him go to rehab, he said, "No, no, no... Okay, maybe."

Not a huge Lady Gaga fan, or one at all, but this was pretty cool.
so anyway, she performed a bit of her new track "Dance in the Dark" at the grammys or one of those useless award shows and other than shamelessly ripping off Vogue (not a bad thing) i noticed a weird part where she seems to mention KUBRICK. i don't know who wrote the song for her or what the deal is, but i looked up the lyrics and she clearly says kubrick, altho it's so random that some ppl thought she said CUPID.. the lyric in question has been made into this picture below:

as far as i'm concerned, she writes all her own songs. on another kind of related note, the Bad Romance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I) video has some Kubrickian vibes to it.
if i met lady gaga i'd prolly do her :ponder: she sings too?

I actually really liked the egg stunt (http://www.etidbits.com/etidbits-com-imagery?file=Lady%20Gaga/Lady%20Gaga%20egg%2022.jpg) at the Grammys, a nice bit of performance art, but I want to point out that it was done first (sort of) by Salvador Dali. Maybe an homage?
