Taylor Swift soars!

Wow! I finally managed to catch the infamous MTV Video Music Awards show where Kanye West, in not so many words, told Taylor Swift that she did not deserve the Best Female Video.

After the revulsion and disgust at Kanye West's moronic behaviour (CNN actually showed clips of Kanye and his entourage swigging off a Hennessy bottle outside, before they made their way into the hall for the show) -- what absolutely surprised me was seeing Taylor Swift's song -- from the subway right up to the street.

It was a superb comeback-of-Taylor's-teen-spirit-kinda performance. She sang her heart out, danced and climbed up and down the seats in the subway train, clung on to the hand railings, ran up the steps and hopped onto the roof of a cab in superb style! She sang fantastically well -- despite all the running etc, her voice control was stunning. And she looked absoluetly beautiful in the read dress.

Seeing how Taylor kept her head up high -- it just makes you want to cheer her on, AND piss on Kanye!

KANYE WEST IS A WANKER!

I have often said that Kanye West is a superbly talented singer-songwriter. AND HE IS indeed very talented.

But, he is also a bit of a wanker -- especially the unkind way he dissed Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. He should not have taken the mike from her and made an absolutely motherfucking ass of himself! Now, audiences around the world hate him and the hatred is justifiable.

I happen to like Taylor Swift -- although I think a couple of her songs are lousy (especially the ones where the music videos show her playing the guitar -- her voice and lyrics are horrendous in two particular music videos, the names of the songs which escape me now!). I REALLY like her "You Belong with Me" song -- it is a very cute teeny song. It is the kind of song I would dedicate to a horrible little monster called 'H' who I happen to be very fond of!

KANYE WEST... A GIANT AMONGST HIS PEERS...

I must say that although his live performances are sometimes panned by critics (I've only seen one -- Kanye and Jamie Foxx singing Gold Digger -- which I though was rather good) -- Kanye West does have a knack for making cutting edge music videos which complement his superior musical tunesmanship.

He is truly the king of the music world with hardly anyone else coming a second place. Check out his "Welcome to Heartbreak" music video and I dare you to tell me that you are not impressed! Kanye has a fluid mind that embraces vastly different cultures -- be it from Africa or Japan and he melds them all beautifully into is music videos.
