Dear Kanye,

I forgave you when you had a hissy fit at the Grammy’s in 2004 claiming you were robbed of the Best New Artist award. Everyone has a bad day.  I forgave you in 2005 when you said “George Bush doesn’t like black people” during the Katrina Benefit.  Partially because I really disliked George W. Bush.  I forgave you when prior to the 2005 Grammy’s you said there would be a “real problem” if you went away empty handed.  I forgave you in 2007 at the VMA’s when you again had a hissy-fit, not only because you won no awards, but also because you had to perform *gasp* at Hugh Hefner’s Sky Villa at the Palms and not the event.  I also forgave you this year when you dissed Twitter.

But your actions last night are UNFORGIVABLE.  Not only was this Taylor Swift’s first VMA, but Beyonce was also nominated for Video of the Year.  She stated on the red carpet that she really wanted the big award.  Beyonce wasn’t upset losing an award to Taylor, why were you?  I’m glad they kicked you out and glad they cancelled your performance.  It probably wouldn’t have been that exciting anyway.  Let’s face it.  You are known more for your stupid antics then for your music, which isn’t even all that good.

Regards from an ex-fan,

Becky

P.S.  You ended up screwing Beyonce over, since she used up her acceptance speech time to allow Taylor to have her moment.  At least someone has some class.
