Just jealous she doesn't require autotuning.


Nearly everything is pitch-corrected these days, not just the tone deaf Anthony Kiedis' of the world. It's too bad, because those slight imperfections can add a lot of beauty and humanity.

I feel really bad that Beyonce had to be pulled into this. How awkward for her. Hopefully she bought Taylor Swift some nice bling and took her out to dinner where they bonded and talked shit about Kanye's little dick.


Apparently later on that evening, Beyonce won best video and called Taylor on stage to give her another chance at an acceptance speech. Very classy move.

Kanye proves (again) that he's a fucking talentless douchebag.

To quote someone commenting on "the 19 year old's" youtube video:

'kanye is just pissed that she won over a "sister"

taylor has 100x more talent than kanye. and im not a country fan...... she can actually sing. he just uses auto tune, samples everyone else, doesn't write any music - he's over produced. he's fake, and "manufactured"

taylor swift looked amazing at the vma's too.'

Brilliant, my new favorite meme. It just works everywhere.

Someone told me Kanye West raped and murdered a girl in 2000.

It's not like any of those celebs actually play any real part in making their music videos, so I don't see why either of them would care.
For that matter the only reason it's the 'artist' is up there collecting the award and not the music video producer is because the VMAs are a promotional event and really have nothing to do with rewarding talent anyway.


Did you see Beyonce's video? You can't accuse her of not being a big part of it when she's front and center working it the entire time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVEGfH4s5g

It's a pretty simple yet edgy and captivating video IMO, having just watched it today after all of this controversy erupted. Taylor Swift's video was fine, as well.

Your video, Kanye Insults Taylor Swift at VMAs, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Okay, this is my last comment on this for now, but one more reason why VideoSift should definitely do this: Because sooner or later someone will, so it might as well be us who does it. The web community already has many other web awards, like for blogging (in many different blogging categories), advertising, shopping, etc. Web video is getting more popular by the minute, so I think it's only right that one of the web's leading video-aggregating sites right now do the job. And since VideoSift is vote-oriented it naturally fits our style.

MTV was only around a few years before they set themselves up as the industry standard by creating the Video Music Awards. This could be VideoSift's VMAs. Let's not miss the boat on this one.

Re: R. Kelly's lazy lip-synch on the VMAs

It is really difficult to play all of those roles while keeping an eye peeled for Jay Z's ass-kicking entourage AND daydreaming about videotaping sex with minors.

R. Kelly is a strange breed of cat.
