The VMA’s was filled with great performances and outrageous moments. The performance of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys was outstanding. I think that the most outrageous moment of the night was when Taylor Swift was accepting her award and she was abruptly interrupted by Kanye West. She got the award for best female video and Kanye West took her microphone to say that he believed that Beyonce Knowles deserved this award for her video. This rude interruption even had President Obama giving his opinion about the inappropriate comment and behavior of Kanye West. But the highlight of the night was the tribute to the life and musical career of Michael Jackson that was performed by his sister Janet Jackson. The final award of the night went to Beyonce Knowles for the video of the year, how ironic? As a courtesy to Taylor Swift, Beyonce asked her to share this award with her and say a few words to the audience since her time was interrupted. This was a great gesture that Beyonce displayed and it showed her great personality. So the moral of this story is to be respectful of other people, appreciate them for what they are and be able to give credit to who deserves the credit for hard work.

Great post. I like your vocabulary. :D To be honest, I am not surprised at Kanye's actions. I think his enormous ego makes him feel that he's entitled to put in his two-cents worth on matters that don't concern him. Thankfully, Beyonce is a classy woman and saved the day.
