Kanye's Ego Has Touched the Sky

Kanye West just can’t seem to keep his mouth shut at Music Awards.

Kanye West stole Taylor Swifts moment to shine as she accepted her award for best female video at this years MTV Video Music Awards . Kanye than went on stage and said “Taylor I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

A cut away shot to Beyonce showed she was horrified Kanye had taken Taylor’s moment away from her. The crowd didn’t appreciate his gesture either and booed him off stage.

This isn’t the first time Kanye has thrown a temper tantrum on stage, in 2004 he stormed out of the American Music Awards after loosing best new artist to Gretchen Wilson. He said to reporters at the time “I felt like I was definitely robbed and I refused to give any politically correct comment. I was the best new artist of the year!”

Then there was that time at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2006 where he lost an award for “Touch the Sky”. He interrupted  Justice and Simian’s acceptance speech for “We are Your Friends” and insisted that his video should’ve won because it “cost a million dollars and Pamela Anderson was in it.”

For some reason Kanye believes that there is a conspiracy out there against him when he looses an award to another artist, but I think it is a bit more simple than that. Kanye West does produce good music but he acts like a spoilt child everytime someone better and more deserving wins. Why would the music industry want to reward that behaviour?

Next time Kanye,  let your music do the talking. If you are truly deserving of an award than the music industry will come to the party, but for the mean time do us all a favour, and shut up!
