Sep 14 2009Beyonce is awesome


In a surprisingly classy move for an MTV production, Beyonce won Video of the Year at the VMAs, and instead of giving a speech, brought Taylor Swift on stage to make up for Kanye West's hissy fit which, according to sources, left her crying backstage. So a sincere hats off to Beyonce. In the meantime, do you think you could remind your husband Jay-Z how cool it was when rappers used to shoot each other? Not that I'm trying to perpetuate stereotypes or suggest murdering the guy, but let's say you sort of grazed him. In the mouth.

good job, Beyonce! Classy!

yay beyonce im glad she made up for what kanye did to taylor swift i dont even like taylor swift but kanye is just a douchebag

what is wrong with him anyway.......?

oh everyone calm down, this shit was entertaining, kanye was uncouth and very stupid, but it made for great tv!

mtv some how managed to make a michael jackson tribute boring and if it wasnt for kanye's outburst no one would be talking about the vma's

No one cares, Bears vs Packers was on.

uh, it was staged

how that's not obvious to everyone I have no idea

I couldn't be bothered to watch that infantile bullshit, but Kanye is a total cunt either way.

i think its messed up how people think someone acting like an asshole and hurting someone is "great tv". Stay classy Beyonce =]

@5, really? You come onto a gossip site dedicated exactly to this kind of crap and say no one gives a shit because of a football game. You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

Beyonce IS awesome.

MTV got you dumbasses again with another trick.

Why are people making a big deal about this? Who cares?

@9 True that! #5's a douche.
@6 Shut up. No one likes you.

Liberals. Conservatives. Christians. Atheists. Scientologists. People that think leopard print is fashionable. So many different perspectives, so many different values, so many different mindsets in the world...and every fucking one of them wants to watch Kanye West die slowly and painfully.

Also, who cares? Anyone who values their brain and sense of reason stopped watching MTV in like 1996, and football season started today.

knayes right! hold up! beyonce was the better artist!~ i wouldaa dun tha same thing to taylor she just a hoe ! yall know poppin yo booty to single ladies was yoo thangg! that lil girl sang about some dork r sumthin. kanye im rite there wid you boo. :-* xo

I mean besides people why would you think it was staged? Kanye doesn't need MTV's help to let the world know he's an @ss hole. I think we've all figured that out by now. His music IS the sh!t tho. But seriuosly Taylor clearly was hurt and Beyonce clearly was surprised. So not staged dummies.

Does anyone know what alli's talking about? Come on man, shut the getto crap.

damn.

I want to see a video of this!! Where can I find one? Beyonce's awesome :)

Beyonce = Class

Kanye = Ass

beyonce and amber rose need to team up and go into lesbian porn

dat ass

Damn she got a big ol' butt...

Beyonce needs to shave her legs. Yuck.

Agreed with #5

I think Kanye pissed off God when he did the Rolling Stone's shoot and dressed up like Jesus. And that's why he is surrounded by all these bad vibes, like a dead mom; vanity.

more like graze the middle of his brain...

Two nice girls.

No, it's not classy, it's a way to capitalize on a situation and clearing your name. It's just good publicity. I actually think P!nk was more classy and genuine to call West and asshole to his face. MTV loved what happened tonight, otherwise they wouldn't have been post-gaming it with that mush-mouth fake rasta "news man".

oh

I'm not a huge fan of Beyonce, and to be honest, I have no idea who Taylor Swift is, but that was one seriously classy thing to do.

Beyonce IS awesome, like seeing here as much as she is a bitch....

good job beyonce, kanye is a retard. taylor swift didn't deserve to be treated like that in front of so many people.

I have been watching MTV for 20 years, and i realize that your going to get some crazy unexpected moments, but after everything that has been going on the past few years and for some reason this year "2009: (9) being the number of all endings and New Beginnings and losing some very, very, very special people. 6-25-09 will always be remembered! So whether your a musician or a famous icon or a just who you are. RESPECT IS KEY. people have feelings and emotions and we all deserve a standing ovation. So Kanye in my best way to communicate to you- "shame on you" you must have a damaged soul and you wanted everyone to know. Good luck in the music world. Its not money that makes the world go round. MUSIC UNITES!! ...............It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
"Thank you to all the class acts" because there is always going to be classmates.....................

If Taylor had any game at all, she would have kicked him in the nuts then pushed him off stage and kept right on going with her speech like nothing happened. That's what Beyonce would have done.... if it happened to her. Of course....No one would dare step up to Jay-Z's woman. He'd pimp slap them into the 70's....

Oh and by the way, Kanye you a true bitch....

Oh and by the way, Kanye you a true bitch.... teabag ya

what's lame is that kanye is going win more than he loses, ie his fans will love how bad ass he is. I hope the rest of us know what a dirt bag racist this piece of shit is.

I have a hard time believing this was all staged. Even MTV wouldn't do that to a 19 year old girl who just won her first vma, would they?

Either way Kanye is still a douche and needs some plastic surgery if ya know what I'm sayin'.

I have a newfound respect for Beyonce. She's so classy and amazing. I still hate her music, but what she did was AWEEESOMEE

Beyonce was just doing DAMAGE control..trying to distance herself from Kanye.

She knows how to save face.

No doubt Hova will have a talk with him too.

What an A-Hole!

---2 different body type...both hot----

Couldn''t Taylor dispense a swift kick to the groin of Kunt-ye, she need to shed that good girl image.

beyonce saved the day. taylor might not take a black cock in her life- but thankfully, she may put a black vag in her face.hahaha

simply repulsive. put some clothes on. i have no respect for someone that has to parade around showing off their goods and then are not clean enough to shave their nasty ass legs. gross animal.
someone should fucking beat the snot out of that little fucking Kayne.

Whatever Beyonce's reason for bringing Taylor on stage, it was a classy thing to do.

Why the fuck is PEREZ HILTON there?! Goddamn, they'll let anyone in there.

I have always thought Beyonce was a class act. I don't like her music, but she seems to be a much better role model than, say, Lady Gaga.... who looked like she woke up in a bird's nest, sheesh.

Fucking racist Kanye West. He throws a fucking hissy fit every time a black person doesn't win something. He should get shot, the fucking cocksmoker...

Good job Bey Once. Classy move from a hot woman. kanye is a douche. unfortunately nobody will tell him that he is a douche. hopefully beyonce will continue to feel bad for taylor swift and have a little conversation with Jay Z. and ask him to have some of his boys have a little "talk" with kayne.

I don't know if what Beyonce did was nice after all.
I'm sure she had the best intentions, but bringing TW up on stage and commenting on Kanye's dickness may have just reminded TW of the humiliation.

That was very nice of Beyonce, yes. I'm not a fan of her music, nor of Taylor's, but they are nice ladies.

-meream

Kanye bit wasn't staged, but Beyonce bit definitely was. Why is Taylor just off-stage at the ready with a microphone? With that said, kudos to Beyonce for going along with it. In the wrestling business, they call that "doing the job."

really nice couple..

Girl, He didn't hurt you last nite, his mess just made you look more memorable, we're all still talkin' bout it!!!!!

@5 - THANK YOU.

It's a big deal for a diva to share a piece of her spotlight, no matter what. And it's a big deal when a black woman sides with a white when a black guy pulls the race card.

Beyonce is beyond awesome. I always thought she was beautiful but's she's a class act as well.

Pink gets a lot of props, too. It doesn't help her street cred at all standing up to a brother. I just wished she popped him one and make him cry.

Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.

Beyonce was laughing it up until MTV made her give Taylor her moment back and let us hope if the Rapper duel between Jay Z and Gay Fish took place that both would connect with fatal head shots to each other. Remember Jayz 's rap about Obama winning the election? He is another damn racist Sparkling Wiggle !

Class act.
What a douche move by Kanye.

1. Beyonce did a great thing and I think she did it because she was a child star too and can relate. Obviously she wanted to distance herself from Kanye's immature ass, but no matter the motive, she did the right thing and deserves the acknowledgement.

2. @61 and anyone else- Beyonce's look on her face was clearly shocked and embarrassed when Kanye got up there. Her face was smiling but as soon as it sunk in that it wasnt a joke she had the "oh god why are you doing that" look

3. why are people saying she didn't shave? from my view her legs look shaven.

----ALSO

I do NOT believe that this was about race, everyone just needs to chill out. If Pink had one, or anyone else who was an ADULT(white or black), Kanye would've just sat down and been immature in peace. He took advantage of a teenager newbie and that is the disrespectful piece of this.

Kanye is a douche, but Beyonce is a classy lassy.

also

this wasn't about race- everyon needs to chill out. if pink had won or anyone else who was an ADULT, kanye would've just sulked in quiet. he took advantage of a teenager newbie and that's the most disrespectful piece of this.

the fact that this was on the mj tribute made the whole thing worse. mj was the one guy that bridged racial divisions and kanye had to steal the limelight of course. kanye's talented so he'll be fine in the long run, but this was such a tacky move.

yeah right!!! - this shiz was sooo staged!!

at first i thought beyo was being all class and sincere, but then i realized it was a total set-up.

nice and kind, but a set. a way for mtv to regain credibility.

Taylor Swift and Beyonce are great musicians... they are ladies. Good for them and congrats for the wins. BTW Superficial... today is pretty much your funniest. day. ever.

Beyonce is absolutely classy. I can't say enough about her. She must make her parents really proud. Kanye West is an irrelevant nigga. Someone will probably end up shooting him. But a better end would be for him to end up penniless and forgotten.

that was awesome Beyonce.
you just made a fan. :)

In case anyone forgot what a classy, MATURE lady Beyonce is, she reminded us when she gave Taylor Swift her deserved moment. Some rich and famous "artists" just act like overgrown children. Beyonce sure can school others in what it means to be famous, talented, and a friggin' GROWN UP.

Kanye is a little bitch. i love Taylor swift she has such sweet love songs :) Beyonce is so sweet to do that for Taylor and it probably means a lot to her!! GO BEYONCE AND TAYLOR!

he crushed her night you could see it on her face. she was so cute how surprised she was that she won...he is such an ass

and to #14 football season started thursday with the Titans versus the Steelers. which is why there was concerts and loads of "big shots" there...NFL season kick off....

Awww! That's very kind and sweet of Beyonce!

I haven't seen such a weird dildo ever! Is that the rabbit?

Beyonce classy??????? I don't think so....did you see her laughing and snickering when kanye was up there spoutin' his garbage??? Geez, you little spoiled baby, grow up!!

Beyonce's fat and you can see the hair on her fat ass thighs.. is it that hard to shave for the award's show..

hate her

I love how so many people say that Beyonce (and kim k for that matter) are fat when most people are probably:

a. overweight or atleast in worser shape than celebrities
b. ugly/average looking
c. some combination of the above


Beyonce is very attractive and has a great body. If you think that lindsay lohan's straight up and down body with no hips is sexy, then you should probably try cruising the playground for little boys. stop passing judgment on people that are more attractive, work harder, and have better bodies than you.

--a pretty girl who knows how to give a compliment when its due.

Fuck Beyonce and fuck Jay-Z.

By the way, Leona Lewis looks like a black Kendra Wilkinson.

Discuss

What is that weird furry thing in the audience???????

Beyonce is a classy lady she is beautiful inside and out.

Lynch that nigger, he is a disgrace to the black race !

Ok I didn't watch the VMA's and don't particularly care about this incident all I want to know is who is the asshat with the bird nest on her face. I'm assuming it's Lady Gaga since she's an outright assclown but I don't want to fully make that leap.

the entire thing was staged. beyonce doesn't do anything for anyone unless she stans to get something from it.

@ #79 --- THANK YOU!

It's so refreshing when I come across someone online who is realistic and has some SENSE. I consider myself very attractive and I am a size 3 myself (naturally thin all of my life) .... yet I never find any satisfaction in judging these women just because they're not my size for example. The point is they are INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL women, and any men who claim they're "fat" only WISH they could pull women like them, and the women who call them fat WISH they could BE them. If I see a beautiful woman, I will compliment her.... why be jealous or hateful? It will NOT make YOU look any better! Get it together!

CHECK THIS OUT CHECK THIS OUT JAY MAD AT BEYONCE FOR GIVING UP HER SPOT LIGHT TO TAYLOR WHAT TYPE OF SHIT IS THIS MAN JAY Z YOU STUPID HARD AS YOU TRY YOU FUCKING UP CHRIS BROWN AND KANYE WEST WHO NEXT YOU HAVE A CURSE ON YOU EVERY ARTIST THAT COME ACROSS YOUR PATH U MAKING BEYONCE LOOK BAD YOU SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE FOR PEOPLES JAY Z IS A STUPID ENTERTAINER AND STUPID FATHER HE PAID HIS BABY MOTHER A MILL TO NOT PUT HIS NAME ON HIS OWN CHILD BIRTH C MAN FUCK HIM HOW HE GONE LUV B IF HE REALLY DNT LOVE HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD THAT IS HIS FLESH AND BLOOD AND HE ACT LIKE HE FUCKING RHIANNA BIG FOREHEAD ASS BITCH AROUND HIM MORE THEN BEYONCE REAL TALK

My opinion of Beyonce just went through the roof. What a lady.

That was very classy of Beyonce to do.

I had respect for her before, but this makes me respect her so much more.

exciting view.

I judt love that beyonce is a genuinely nice person as well as an amazing singer - it's too hard to find nowadays!
