It is my understanding that she was not very attractive in high school- not popular, nobody talked to her, apparently.Originally Posted by Caveat Emperor
Makeovers are a wonderful thing.
I can look at her and see the nerd, I can.
Hate to say it, but I think she is amazing. Great pop hooks- she did Crossroads with Def Leppard and they gave her all the respect in the world.
And yes, the Charlie Rich and John Denver reference was awesome!!!!
Get me a Richard Dawson one and you're my hero.
Charlie Rich was reportedly drunk when he burned the envelope.
I just saw a brief clip on the local news about Jay Leno's new show. Kanye West was one of his guests. When Leno asked West about what he did to Swift and what his mother would think (I gather West's mother is deceased--not sure of that), West was silent and appeared to tear up. What West did to Swift was wrong, but at least his response to Leno's question was appropriate and he gave the appearance of being at least somewhat contrite.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
West's mother passed away in the last year or two, they were rather close.

Is it just me or did it seem like Leno didn't really want to be doing that interview? I'm impressed that Leno asked tough questions and didn't give Kanye a pass.
He wasn't attempting to associate SOLEY young black people. Go back and read what he posted. He referred to his DEMOGRAPHICS, which is very inclusive.

Read this morning that Obama called him a jack***

And I thought what Beyonce, and the audience, did afterwards, was nothing but classy.

What is "the whole hiphop culture?"
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
That about sums it up for me.
She is very easy on the eyes, but her songs are so depressing, somewhat juvenile (Our Song) and even for the most part sound alike.
Here are some songs to check out by her:
White Horse (depressing all the way around)
Tim McGraw (about missing a guy)
Teardrops on my Guitar (about a guy she has a crush on)
Should've Said No (about a guy who cheated on her)
Love Story (Romeo and Juliet, actually the only one I really like)
You Belong With Me (the song that Kanye dissed her on, again about another guy she has a crush on)
Our Song (See above, my girlfriend even had that as a ringtone for me, lol)
Her type of music really isn't my favorite, but I did find it slightly amusing that Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers (who's claim to fame is the purity rings and wholesome entertainment) dated her and broke up with her in a phone call that lasted like 30 seconds. Hated it for Taylor, but it does look bad on Joe Jonas IMO.
Speaking of gayfish, South Park is airing the gayfish episode four times in a row tonight.
It's looking more and more like the whole thing was a setup. The article at the link below discusses some of the speculation I heard in media and PR circles yesterday.
Kanye West Taylor Swift diss at VMAs - A set up?
Well, she's a teenage girl, they emote for a living (to borrow a line from a comic strip), and she writes her own songs. Not my style, but I guess it's more honest than the faux world-weariness a lot of young singers try to pass off.
As for West, remember when he stormed out of some awards show because he lost to Gretchen Wilson? If he'd tried this stunt with her, she'd have broken the trophy over his head.
Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
I can only imagine West response to Obama
I bet it involves Obama not caring about someone.
All this guy says is "I wonder if it was a setup"?
Actually he says "But then it occurred to me that MTV may have put him up to it. MTV loves to have controversies occur because they can create VMA moment shows. They probably thought a Kanye West outburst would be a great one to add."
There's no incentive for MTV to own up to this being a stunt, so all it can be is speculation at this point. At least until one of the 3 principals involved in this fesses up. That may take years.
IMHO, it's all way too neat. Now that Kanye has cried and apologized on Leno, 2 days later, every artist involved has come out of this "incident" smelling like a rose. Plus NBC and MTV gained some priceless publicity for shows on their network.
I think most people aren't swayed by the whole "cry and apologize" thing. He's still a jackass to about 90% of the people that know about this.
I don't think it was a setup.
