The world was shocked last week at MTV’s Video Music Awards as Taylor Swift deservingly got the award for the best female video. However her night and many others watching was ruined when the rather selfish Kanye West stormed onto the stage and stated Beyonces video was much better. The quote went as;
“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all-time”
A big point is that Taylor Swift is not currently bathing in money and although she was successful in 2008 Beyonce has more money. Yet still her video contains an original story set in a closed school. She asked her brothers school if they would let her do the video there. She had spent hours planning and asking permissions for things. In all fairness what was the difference between the current Beyonce video and all of her others. A bit of dancing with a few extras thrown in is a pretty normal video for Beyonce. All of Taylor Swift’s videos to date have taken time, planning and have had a storyline to them. That isnt of course to say that Beyonce does not spend hours learning the routine to her videos they just never seem original.
On the other hand it bought huge amounts of people to watch and re-watch the show itself even though Kanye was boo’d off of the stage surely no publicty it bad publicity? So this asks a very important question. The real question is did MTV and Kanye set out to upset Taylor or was it all just a coincidence? The thing that caused controversy at last year’s event was of course Russell Brand’s rants. Are MTV trying to get more viewers? Wait and see if something big happens next year, after all three starts a trend.
If you like music why not take up an instrument? Guitars come in all kinds from electric guitars all the way to bass guitars.
