Kanye West

Dear Kanye, What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I've seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you...which is pretty odd since I don't even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her...so why can't you be?? I'm not even mad at you for being an asshole...I just pity you because you're a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ....that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

KC :)

gvemeamic said...: GO KELLY!! I couldn't have said it better myself! Taylor Swift & Beyonce are absolutely amazing and Kanye can just suck it. What he did was "low!"; September 14, 2009 9:26 AM
David said...: That i what I call a WAF man! Somebody put that chet in jail!; September 14, 2009 9:35 AM
xxxquelynxxx said...: I couldn't agree with you more! Well put! God help that "man" and thankfully Taylor is above it. It's awesome to see great artists such as yourself come to Taylor's defense. She deserves all the awards she has won whether "King Kanye" agrees with it or not. How many did he win last night? None? Oh yeah, just like years past. Talented musician, yes, but maybe he doesn't get viewer voted awards because we all know he's a dbag and don't want to award that!; September 14, 2009 9:44 AM

Daniel said...: u go girl! did u atleast read his " apology " ?? it seems like his site is currently offline so i took a screenshot of the actual apology

dhschick22 said...: Tell 'em, Kelly! I definitely feel the same way. He swears he's God's gift to humanity. Give me a break. I respect you so much for always speaking your mind, but we all know not everyone can be famous and still remain humble like you. Well said, and keep on amazing the world with your talent! <3; September 14, 2009 9:58 AM

ragnvaldmagne said...: Hello Kelly,

I am not a country music fan, a hip hop fan, or a rap fan. But I heard about your comments on Kanye's atrocious behavior last night and I think you got it exactly right. I do believe in having class, but after the selfish egoistic behavior by Kanye last night I think he deserves to get the unvarnished truth right betwen the eyes. He stole the moment from Taylor Swift exactly as if he was a thief. I thank you for "telling it like it is" to put Kanye back in his place, the gutter from which he crawled, and I thank the audience last night for giving Taylor back the the grand moment she had earned and fully deserves by generously displaying their appreciation of her as an entertainer and as a wonderful person.

It's just too bad Kanye's blog site seems to be myteriously down or I would have sent my "appreciation" of him directly.

dcox said...: Oh man he doesn't sound sorry at all. he just sounds like he feels bad that he make an embarrassment of himself on national tv.; September 14, 2009 10:21 AM
dam312 said...: I actually took the time to look this up because your response was so well said. All this is ridiculous to me anyway, but I thought you deserved much praise for saying what you said. I'm not a fan or anything and generally dislike this stuff, a lot, but you seem to be well grounded, real and honest. Congrats and well done.; September 14, 2009 10:22 AM
Jesusfreak86 said...: Kelly, I must say I agree with this. I was in utter shock when he did this and it wasn't the first time. He did the same thing about britney spears' come back two years ago, all awhile vowing he would next show up at the VMA's ever again....wonder what happened to that! =)

And really, any man who cheats on you is a moron...I got to meet you on the 11th and your as goregous and sweet as they come! Meeting you was amazing moment in my life.; September 14, 2009 10:29 AM
Travis said...: Kelly, I didn't think I could love you any more...and then you go and write something like this. You are my hero. THANK YOU for taking a stand.; September 14, 2009 10:37 AM

Caspian Rex said...: My respect for you has been increasing over the past few years, and this bumped you up another notch. Well said, Ms. Clarkson.; September 14, 2009 10:55 AM
Lesley said...: well done kelly, I 100% agree with what you have written in your blog! GO KELLY! I think it was a terrible way for a grown man to behave! I am delighted Taylor Swift won and deservidly so!; September 14, 2009 11:21 AM
Mica said...: And that's why we love Kelly! you aren't just worried about your career, you're worried about not selling yourself to the media or the charts :) Lov u!!!; September 14, 2009 11:26 AM
Tricemarie4 said...: Exactly! I have always had a disliking for him but that just was over the top. I have never hated someone so much that I didn't even know as much as him. He needs to go read the bible or something. He is always talking about how much he is like god and the best there is. I hate to even say I like any of his music. Thank you for voicing to us how you feel about this. I just sat there in shock over what he just did. He needs to learn some respect. I feel bad for Taylor she is such a sweet girl. You and all in that category are amazing! Another thing the guy who cheated on you is an asshole as well and an idiot. You are such an amazing person for someone to be able to say you are their girlfriend would be the luckiest person in the world. They are both idiotic assholes. You are one amazing beautiful person inside and out! So thank you and I love you even more now!!; September 14, 2009 11:38 AM

Felicia Larsson said...: Thank You Kelly for this relievingly sane response!!!; September 14, 2009 12:05 PM
Me said...: He says he is sorry, but he really messed up and he should say he messed up rather than sorry because apologies from people like him mean nothing. I would respect him more if he admitted to making a mistake and having unresolved issues that he needs to work on rather than saying he is sorry.; September 14, 2009 12:07 PM

Creusa said...: That's right Kelly!!
That's why I LOVE YOU!
YOU ARE AWESOME!
DON'T LET NO ONE TELL YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL!
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! I LOVE ALREADY GONE AND I WISH THAT YOU RELEASE MORE 4 SINGLES: DONT LET ME STOP YOU, CRY, IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU AND ALL I EVER WANTED! ANSWER ME BACK!!; September 14, 2009 12:28 PM

nccar4 said...: LMAO Damn Kelly usually keeps her cool about stuff but I'm glad she chewed Kanye's ass out....he DESERVES it!!!; September 14, 2009 12:58 PM
tannk said...: Kelly, Seriously, you ROCK OUTLOUD! I LOVE it that you told bitter, sore loser, wanna be important a-hole the way it is. I'm so tired of hearing his crap! I'm so tired of seeing his mug on the tv acting like someone owes him something. Get some therapy Kanye and quit hating everyone else for being genuinely happy in their lives. How wrong on so many levels to do that to Taylor. If you cannot control your impulses, it's called MEDICATION! Try some, it may actually make you a tolerable person!

k8m0332 said...: I agree completely! I thought Taylor handled it very well and her and Beyonce are very classy! Kelly, what would you have done if you would have been in Taylor's position?! I hope you would have said everything you just did!; September 14, 2009 1:42 PM
milky2028 said...: You take yourself/Kanye way too seriously. You act like he bent he over, and raped he on stage. But, in actuality, he just took the mic, and said like 28 words. It was 30 seconds long. He still makes good musics, so who cares. No one died. No lasting effects.; September 14, 2009 2:27 PM
Armando said...: He's such a low life.
Thanks for this Kelly, I agree with you completely.; September 14, 2009 2:27 PM
Z-man said...: Why couldn't he just blog about it like most normal people? why'd he have to get all anal about it? BTW what do you think of Ellen?; September 14, 2009 2:29 PM
AnneCR said...: wow. Kelly Clarkson said everything!!

I love you and I don't get tired of saying that because you are AMAZING and I love you even more now. and I am sure the whole world loves u more than ever.

Kanye W. ~ if kelly clarkson (the nicest person in the music business) is talking bad things about u is because you deserve nothing but shitty things being said about you. idiot.

#teamtaylor; September 14, 2009 2:30 PM
Leslie said...: Hi, I totally agree with your blog Kelly. Kelly you not the only one who don't like Kayne West too. Taylor Swift is a very talent lady even my oldest niece loves her too. Beyonce was so nice and gracious to let Taylor have her chance to finish up her speech. Plus Beyonce was shock on what he said anyway. I couldn't believe Kayne West did what he did on the stage. This is not the first time Kayne left a bad taste in my mouth too. I was most disappointed of MTV network too on why they didn't do anything at all to stop Kayne getting on the stage or even let Taylor finish her speech (if anybody notice Taylor was talking after she got over the shock if MTV didn't push to talk about the best new artist award bit). Taylor put a good front after that award to sing her song "You Belong To Me" in the NYC subway too.; September 14, 2009 2:31 PM
nygrl1806 said...: you tell em Kelly! his apology was so insincere! I'm happy to see you also blogging about it! Put him in his place!
Loveeyouuxo; September 14, 2009 2:41 PM
Joy said...: I've never EVER liked Kanyes attitude since he first came into the music business. He is so full of himself its sinful. Maybe he should marry himself...I don't think anything or anyone in this world would make him happy. The best was when Micheal Jackson sadly passed, Kanye had the balls to announced himself as the new King of Pop. Little does his ugly face know that he can only be the King of Ugly Faced No Chin Full of Himself Dickhead. You said it so well Kelly. I've been a fan of yours since you auditioned for American Idol. You are an amazing, sincere woman. I bow to you and I will be a fan for life.; September 14, 2009 2:44 PM
PalePinkPolka.com BLOG said...: And that is why you will always be #1 in my book! Having worked with Beyonce, I agree that she is very classy, but YOU are spot on with your letter to Ms. West. Here's hoping his career goes SOUTH. I admire your courage and talent and have to admit that OUR lives would suck with YOU!

XO; September 14, 2009 2:55 PM
crbis2sporty4u89 said...: Let's hear it for the classiest women in the music business!!! Very well said Kelly! Don't worry I believe in a little thing called karma, and Kanye has it coming... after his little hissy fit last night I don't think his tour will do good or his next cd. I am embarrassed to admit I liked Kanye (well his music anyways)... and had a poster hanging up of him on my wall. I always have heard he was a dbag, but last nights outrageous outburst set me off. Now the poster I once had hanging up will be lighting a bonfire this weekend while I play "You Belong With Me" and maybe enjoy a beer, lol.

And as far as his "apology"... actions speak louder than words.; September 14, 2009 2:57 PM
Jen1274 said...: Couldn't have said it better myself! You go girl!; September 14, 2009 3:04 PM
Ida said...: Very well written. THIS (and sure your voice ;) ) is the reason why we love you. And yes I don't personally know you, but from what I have seen and heard you are a pretty amazing human being, and I look up to you. Plus, you seem so freaking huggable.

On a side note "Whyyawannabringmedown" has helped and cheered me up immensely lately. So thank you.

He is obviously a prejudice bastard and it shows.; September 14, 2009 4:39 PM

clairleela said...: I am a big fan of you Kelly, also all of my friends but I have to disagree with you.

I thought it was rude to do, also it was just to get attention but sayings the things you just said would be hurtful and cold to anyone. I don't care what he said, you're just blowing it out of proportion. It hurts me to see one of my favorite artists saying such harsh words.; September 14, 2009 5:19 PM
Sam said...: amen to that! =]; September 14, 2009 5:37 PM

Dana said...: Amen Kelly well put!! I didn't watch the vma's but heard about it on the radio this morning and all I can say is "What a JERK" to act that way as an adult is just wrong!! Loved how classy Beyonce was in letting Taylor finish her aceptance speech! I know Taylor have said before that she is a fan of your work too!!; September 14, 2009 5:57 PM

Jennifer said...: Thanks Kelly you said it all. and being from Wisconsin I thought you said it very nicely we would have used the F word..a few times ...see how sweet you are.. Now I have to go out but some Tayor Swift cds just because .. God bless you and your family.. Jennifer; September 14, 2009 6:51 PM
lespaulgirl said...: OMG, Kelly I love you so much. You crack me up with your honesty, I love it. Seriously I hope that asshole reads this. He should feel like shit that you hate him more than David hahaha. I hope Taylor writes a song about him! (Kanye not David).

You frikin rock, I love you KC.

see you in 40 days; September 14, 2009 6:51 PM

Tyler said...: So well put! You go girl!; September 14, 2009 7:49 PM
itsmekkhh said...: I totally agree that what he did was WRONG, BUTTTT do you have to question his childhood??? Just because he did that doesn't mean his mother didn't hug him enough. I thought that comment your made (KC)was rude being his no longer here. You really don't have to get down to his level with some of your comments. Saying you don't like him & all was childish in my opinion. He did very wrong, but goodness.... Grow up (u 2); September 14, 2009 7:50 PM
George said...: I am not going to buy Fucking Kanye West Cds anymore. I encourage Everybody, who knows perfectly what the word RESPECT means, not to buy Fucking Kanye West CDs anymore. For me, KW go the Hell !!!!; September 14, 2009 8:08 PM
George said...: Answering to itsmekkhh : I probably agree with your comments, but, but, but, You know WHAT?? I approve Big Kelly Clarkson writing. You know WHY? Because Kanye West it is not the only FUCKING ASSHOLE PORK SHIT OUT THERE, THERE ARE some other LOW CLASS (that Stupid Asshole have any class at all??? ) PIGS just like Him and this is a GOOD WAY to try to end all this Bull Shit !!!!; September 14, 2009 8:26 PM
H Nicole said...: I get what a few of you here (okay, maybe two or three out of over seventy comments) have to say when you say you don't like seeing Kelly have to "stoop" to this, but take it from somebody who has been dealing with sexist assholes for a long, long time -- this is really the only way to do it to get this kind of crap to stop in the future. And it has to be Kelly or somebody like her doing it, too. It can't be Taylor, and it can't be Beyonce, so Kudos to Kelly for stepping up to the plate on this one. Mark my word that the next time an asshole like Kanye tries to pull this sexist crap (and sorry, but it was 100% sexist considering he never would have done this to a male singer), they are going to think twice and probably not do it when they think they might actually be publicly told off and embarrassed by the likes of Kelly Clarkson. It doesn't make Kelly any less "Christian," and yes, you have to swear, too. That's the only language these types understand and respect. Also, not sure why questioning their childhood would be off limits when they act like this. Not sure what else to question unless we are going to start blaming it on the drinking water or something.; September 14, 2009 8:31 PM
ahhwheresmyshoes said...: YES!!! Kelly, you are amazing. I LOVE this blog post.
I am so proud that you made this, and you are just so awesome.

Kanye West needs to understand that when he acts like an asshole, he is going to be treated like one.; September 14, 2009 8:34 PM
bsm1387 said...: I can't make myself anymore angry than I really am now but, Kanye you are an asshole!!! it's funny how I thought you were a good person at first but, we all know how that went!!! Kelly iv'e never heard anyone more than you take the initiative like you did to take a stand for Taylor and for ALL HUMANS BEINGS like that you are Amazing and Dearly Loved by us fans! It's something to be remembered for ages! Love Ya KC and God Bless!; September 14, 2009 8:38 PM
Jack said...: That was so awesome Kelly! This is why I love Texas girls. They say it like it is. Natalie Maines, Miranda Lambert...to name a few. I saw Taylor in concert on Saturday and she was amazing. For Kanye to take that moment from her was so beyond shitty. Can't wait to see you in Knoxville Kelly!!!; September 14, 2009 8:45 PM

jenny venture said...: I now know that Kelly Clarkson is a racist.
Kelly Clarkson doesn't care about black people.; September 14, 2009 9:07 PM
Tiffany said...: I have so much respect for you, not only because you are a talented artist but because you're grounded, genuine and a straight shooter. I can't say I was ever a fan of his either, I guess I just saw through the front from day one. I never agreed with his lyrics or what he stood for. Although Taylor must be in a whirl wind of emotions from last nights debacle, she must find great strength in knowing that her collegues and friends have her back. On behalf of her fans and yours thanks for taking a stand, and voicing your disgust, it is definately something that shouldn't go un-noticed. It's also really sad that the night where MJ was suppose to be celebrated wasn't memorable because Kanye had to go and be a narcissistic punk ass. I am proud to say that I haven't given that shithead $1 of my money!!. Woo Hoo Orillia :) Can't wait!Thanks again for being real.; September 14, 2009 9:12 PM
Tiffany said...: in response to jenny venture...dude for real ! Don't try and redirect attention off of Kanye, he did it to himself, and Kelly said nothing racist at all, so go back and support Kanye he's gunna need the fans and your money!; September 14, 2009 9:15 PM
Christina said...: I agree. He is so egocentric and so disrespectful. I believe Taylor handled herself very well and Beyonce....what can I say. She is a class act.....not sure why she associates herself with people like Kanye....; September 14, 2009 9:26 PM
H Nicole said...: Blogger jenny venture said...

I now know that Kelly Clarkson is a racist.
Kelly Clarkson doesn't care about black people.

______________________________

LOL! Can you get any more cliche? Gawd. I was almost waiting for that one because it is so typical and expected -- and unfortunately sad. So Kelly publicly supports Ruben Stoddard, a black guy, over Clay Aiken, a white guy, during Season 2 of American Idol (which may well have been the deciding factor sending Ruben over the top, IMHO) because Kelly is a racist? Kelly recently stuck up for Will.I.Am, another black guy, when his manager slugged Perez Hilton (a friggin 100% racist white guy AND misogynist) because Kelly is a racist? [Mind you Kelly has been paying big time for that one, too -- you don't put Perez Hilton deservedly in his place and get a free pass from JAGMA -- the Jealous and Angry Gay Man Army -- which has been on a constant warpath against Kelly and her band and her songs ever since Kelly stood up for a black man]. Bottom line: Buy a clue -- then get a life -- Jenny Venture.; September 14, 2009 9:29 PM
Paulina said...: That guy is a horible human being. Unfortunately there is a large percentage of the population that dosent care what an asshole he is, they will keep supporting him. Lets hope he keeps showing his true colors and hope that his supporters actually see him for what he truley is.; September 14, 2009 9:58 PM
Amy11983 said...: You people calling Kelly a racist are ridiculous. Forget what skin color this idoit is. He disgraced everyone for what he did. He is a piece of shit who did not win and had to get the spotlight any which way he could and it took him humiliating a teenager. Grow the F up!! You call yourself a Man?? Kelly's post was the best one I have seen so far on this whole topic so to call her a racist, you people are a disgrace as well. Go join Kanye and make a teenager cry for doing what she loves!!; September 14, 2009 9:59 PM
securitymoron said...: oh wow, getting involved into something that had nothing to do with you, and making a blog lashing out a him, you basically stooped to his level. Give me a break, now your'e just as immature as him.

Are you trying to get attention so people can drift away from the "all kellys songs sound the same" rumor, which pretty much isn't a rumor. Gosh you bore me to tears. My like would rock without you.; September 14, 2009 10:12 PM
sjakee said...: kelly taylor swift is pop bubble gum garbage who wont last long anyway and neither will u, people didnt even know you were at the awards -_- ....kanye wuz wrong but he apologized multiple times he didnt kill anyone he just interrupted her which wuz rude but not violent or malicious just rude... u suck, u didnt win american idol your pop candy trash and compared to kanye your a spec of dirt on the map who are u to come at him? musically he's more talented than both of u... he honestly wasnt even trying to insult taylor he just thought beyonce should have won and he should have went about it a different way but COME ON your definietly over reacting, your not perfect and you make mistakes just like kanye and everyone else and if you do something wrong and apologize sencerly u would want forgiveness just like kanye and wut he did wasnt even that serious it was just rude!! so y dont u go figure out how to make yourself relevant again and lay off kanye, your blog about him is the most relevant thing you ve done in a long time haha kanye still makes way better music than u and sells more than you and you cant even argue against that; September 14, 2009 10:25 PM

Are you not also involving yourself in this conversation? Thus, you're stooping just as low as anyone else?

absolutely, Kelly.
Kanye was incredibly rude, he ruined Taylors moment!; September 14, 2009 11:10 PM
zebrachickk629 said...: Dang Kelly you tell it how it really is.
But i agree that was Tayor's moment and know one
should take that away from anyone ever.

But you performed amazing tonight in Hollywood.
I was there just as i was at the OC Fair, and
as i will be in November to see you again :D

Thanks for being an honest human being =); September 14, 2009 11:28 PM
idolrejectcub said...: Ok, now Kelly I never have seen you this pissed before but you said it perfectly. Kelly, you have the balls that Kanye doesn't have, btw I know you would have also given Taylor YOUR moment!

I know that you typically stay out of Hollywood drama but I praise you for your wise and realistic words, I feel the same way. You are just the voice that guides me.

There are very few moments that will stick with you forever, and Taylor winning the moonman, that was her special moment and she was robbed of a wonderful memory that she worked hard for, even if it lasts for a moment, Kanye is a dick and hes let himself go to his head. Thanks Kelly, oh and already gone is by far one of the most chilling reality awakening songs I

I saw you on American Idol for the first time a few months ago, and I couldn't believe they let you on a stage with a microphone anywhere at any time. What the hell was that? Take my advice and lip synch next time -- PLEASE.; September 15, 2009 12:31 AM

Then Texas shared that blessing with the rest of the world.

You said what so many of us were thinking. We can say it best by not purchasing Kanye's music or attending his performances.

He's got no voice, can't rap to save his life and has a tantrum problem that would make a snobby 3 year old jealous.; September 15, 2009 3:19 AM
sKayFoid said...: LOL. Let me just say that Kanye and my mother in law have a lot in common. They both act like my two year old.
It's okay guys. He will probably be shot soon because of his mouth anyway. Just one less disgraceful person in the U.S.; September 15, 2009 3:38 AM
Ruth said...: Kelly This is one of the MANY reasons you're awesome! I said and feel the EXACT same way about Kanye, i also felt the need to post my opinion to and about him. Useless waste of human space is that fool of a man.

Everyone is disgusted with him! I agree wholeheartedly with you, P!nk has said something very similar, as did Melissa Peterman and numerous others.

Beyonce did good for taylor and at the end of the day, it only showed the world, yet again, what kind of a HORRID person Kanye REALLY is!

We all love Taylor. Brilliant talent that girl! Right on to her!!

darkness said...: Kelly,
While not defending the actions of Kanye West, do you think it is an appropriate to publicly question whether someone who has lost their beloved mother in the past 12 months was hugged enough as a child?

I am not a fan, but I saw you on Good News Week on Australian television and found you a really sweet and genuine person.

I therefore wonder why the actions of an admittedly egotistical person, with a history of wearing their heart on their sleeve and saying what they think - yet also for producing a body of work that is socially aware; for instance the song Diamonds from Sierra Leone about blood diamonds and making statements in support of homosexuals (unlike almost all other rappers) - would trouble you so much? To the point where you profess greater dislike for him, than for someone who has done you personal wrong.; September 15, 2009 6:07 AM
kp said...: ok i'm sorry but this is kinda sad kelly. saying you hate kanye west more for a few seconds of idiotic outburst than your cheating ex is just plain ridiculous. Kanye is def a conflicted person and everyone comes with his/her own baggage, so to say you hate someone that u even admit you don't know is almost wicked. Isn't it so hypocritical more celebrities are expressing outrage over this than when Chris Brown beat his gf? Whats really going on here?

P.S. - I'm not in support and would never be in support of what Kanye did that night; September 15, 2009 6:30 AM

H Nicole said...: In response to darkness:

I lost both my parents last year in 2008. So? Does that give me an excuse to be a sexist asshole and not apologize for my actions in a sincere fashion without excuse?

Also, loving the "he supports gay people so he has the right to be a sexist asshole" argument. I think that explains a lot as to the thought process behind what makes somebody like Kanye act the way he does. I mean, he's thinking, I've got the backing of a large bulk of the music industry here -- because we are mostly all sexist assholes -- plus I've got the backing of JAGMA (Jealous and Angry Gay Man Army -- led by the likes of Perez Hilton) to back me as well, because they are all sexist assholes, too. Wow -- I can do no wrong.

Well, sorry Kelly is here to spoil the fun, fellas, and call a sexist asshole a sexist asshole when she sees one, no matter how many excuses he and the rest of you use and no matter how many other sexist assholes he hides behind, gay or not.

And just a recap of why I have decided to improve on Kelly's post by adding the "sexist" qualifier to her already quite appropriate moniker for Kanye...

Please answer this question: Would Kanye West have taken the microphone away from a male singer and had such an outburst? No, of course not. And why not? Because he knows he would have been hung by the balls if he had done so, that's why. So why isn't Kanye being hung by the balls by anybody except Kelly Clarkson and other female artists now?

By the way, I love "Already Gone." I believe it would be a perfect addition in Twilight Saga: New Moon film and on soundtrack.; September 15, 2009 2:27 PM
Globalinvestor said...: Hey Kelly, you put it out there just right. Hopefully Kanye will be banned from VMA awards forever and everyone will boycott his records.

Want to say that "Already Gone" is a fantastic song. I read that you were not happy with the background music. However, I think it is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I am transfixed every time I listen to it. Wonderful. Thank you.; September 15, 2009 3:19 PM
Malinda said...: You are so right Kelly! Im with you 100% on that! Kanyes Behavior was uncalled for and there is no excuse for it. Im not a fan of a spoiled rotten, talentless,jerk like him. Kelly You can do backflips over him when it comes to singing!; September 15, 2009 4:01 PM

ibeboy said...: I cannot stand Kanye West! Never have and definitely never will. He thinks he is god's gift to music and that is absolutely not the case... Kelly is ;-). I really hope that Taylor can soon say Karma's a bitch as Kanye's career hopefully comes to and end. He has no respect and doesn't deserve respect from anyone.

Message from England, who the **** is Kelly Clarkson? and what makes you think you are famous enough to pass judgement on one of the greatest music producers of our generation?

LMAO at people saying Taylor Swift is more talented than Kanye West, Kanye has produced more number 1 singles than Kelly Clarkson has had hot dinners, and that number is allegedly very high. Kanye has easily sold more than these 2 "ladies" put together.

Kelly or whatever your name is, what happened to you as a child? were you neglected? is that why you try to get attention by blogging about people more famous than you?

Kanye made a mistake, he apoligized, game over. We dont care about your pea brained opinion; September 16, 2009 5:02 AM

H Nicole said...: Be a man and show your profile, jrcd30000 -- you know, the one you just made up today specifically to come over here and trash Kelly. Geez, Kanye, you would think you would be spending your time thinking up a sincere apology for Taylor -- you know, one that you actually deliver to her directly and personally, like the true gentleman which you apparently are not and, from the looks of things, may never be. Is there no hope for you?

Loving the flawed argument that the one who sells the most gets to be the biggest asshole (flawed because it's not true that Kanye can even outsell his way out of a paper bag). I guess that just about sums up the entire sexist asshole music industry, which is in dire need of an overhaul, obviously. Take it from somebody who only recently started paying attention to the whole thing -- it's all very unimpressive -- and you, Kanye, are now officially the crown king of unimpressive.; September 16, 2009 12:52 PM
Thaddeus said...: Kanye has won two VMAs, so jealousy obviously wasn't the driving force behind what he did. And of course he wasn't nominated in that category, it was for Best FEMALE video. Finally, Taylor Swift released 2 albums in a calendar year (I'll leave it to the readers' judgement as to what this says about the thought put into her song-writing) so of course she sold more records than Kanye in 2008. Kanye still made $7 mil more total if you include touring revenue.

Obviously Kanye has a massive ego. I think he sees himself as one of the guardians of innovative, creative and unique music. He probably views Taylor Swift as a representative of the mass-produced poppy music aimed at 14 year old girls and was upset by the commendation given to her at the VMAs over another artist (Beyonce) who he sees as more of an innovator. Beyonce's video sucks too, actually, so it was probably just the Hennesey 'Ye was drinking that was speaking at that point.

Sure it was rude and out of place for him to interupt, and sure he's an ass. Kelly is entitled to her opinion, but at least get your facts straight enough that your public blasting of someone makes sense.; September 16, 2009 12:58 PM
Z-man said...: Jay Leno can call you a jackass but when the POTUS calls you a jackass IT'S OVER. Saw a headline on the news the other night, "Kanye West the Most Hated Man in America?". No, that would be Bernie Madoff but he's definitely in the Top 5.; September 16, 2009 1:38 PM
H Nicole said...: Thaddeus, I agree that jealousy wasn't the driving force, though it was a factor. No, it was mostly sexism, as you yourself have pointed out without even realizing it -- it was a category for FEMALES -- an easy target in the sexist music industry. I will repeat my point 100 million times if I have to, and I apparently have to -- there is no way in hell Kanye would have pulled this crap on a male singer. This wasn't a black thing, either, it was just another rude sexist thing thinly disguised as many other things.; September 16, 2009 1:50 PM
danbbbbb said...: I'm curious why you felt the need to write this and what your were trying to accomplish? Everyone on earth, including Kanye West, is in agreement that what he did was terrible and wrong. So you write a "cute" little letter like this for what? Does this make you better than him? In my eyes your just as low as he is for his actions for this. "What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough??" Is that funny? questioning someones childhood and upbringing? Kelly, did you not get enough attention as a child and so now you write letters on your blog to try and look cool? Your a clown.; September 16, 2009 3:13 PM
George said...: Answering to jrcd30000: Stupid moron, did You see what time Kelly wrote the blog? Monday morning at 7, at that time was not any official apology from THE PIG CALLED KANYE WEST.

I don't know if y'all are aware, but South Park did a sketch of Kanye West, and it is sooo damn funny because that shit is true. Kanye West is the worst thing to happen to the music industry, and it just proves that how much of a self-righteous, egotiscal asshole, to steal the spotlight from a hard-working, teenage artist. Kelly you are awesome for speaking your mind, and I couldn't agree with you more. Give em Hell!; September 17, 2009 1:49 AM

The only thing I will add is that we all should pray for happiness and inner peace for Kanye.; September 17, 2009 6:35 AM
somastud415 said...: Kelly I'm going to have to take you to task for you comments on Kanye. I love how celeb at the awards are no different than school yard punks who watch a bully kick a nerds ass then wait until after the recess moniters clear away the two parties before you start talking about what you have done to the bully and your opinions about said bully. Truly pathetic. You also mention that taylor has better records sales as if that says something about her talent. Taylor out sells Kanye because she makes country music and those fans are still too stupid to figure out how to download and steal music the way the rest of us do. None of you so called outraged celebs will say anything to Kanye West's face. If Kanye is a sad soul for being a jerk at a meaningless awards show that is more of a commercial deal between the music labels and MTV, then you are a jerk for talking about how mych you hate Kanye. Perhaps if your energy was better focussed you wouldn't have 7 chins and a harpoon sticking out of your back. It is very safe to bash another celeb when they make a mistake, not realizing that you too will f up again one day.

Taylor is no ones teen. She is almost 20, she can vot and she can fight in war. A ruined speech at the MTV awards is nothing.; September 17, 2009 7:36 AM
somastud415 said...: H Nicole:

You claim that Perez Hilton is white, he is Cuban you dumbass. Race has nothing to do with this and neither does sexuality. It is obvious that you have something against white gay men, I guess one ust have taken your mam from you. No Kelly isn't a racist, she's just using Taylor's incidnet to get some atention for herself,. Celebs in need of a career boost have always done this, made a shitty comment about someone more famous than them in order to get some attention. That is what Kanye did to Beyonce and what Kelly is doing to Kanye.

Only Americans are soo righteous about celebs. In other countries they only care about your talent. Kanye is a musical genius who help take rap the reused sampled music days of then Puff Daddy to the intersting rap/rock hybrid that we see today. Before Kanye came on the scene you were hard pressed to Jay Z and other hiphop bands branch out from the template that was at that time the norm.

Should Kanye loss all of his fans based on a some shitty behavior? No!!!!! It was a MTV award show, that award was not voted on by the fans. Thar award was given away because MTV worked out some kind of quid pro quo deal with her record label.

All of the male coutnry singers who said what they would have done to Kanye, all have had the chance to beat up Kanye before and noen of them did. Just because you strum a guiter and fuck your sister doesn't make you a tough guy.; September 17, 2009 7:57 AM
H Nicole said...: It's good to see so much support for Kelly, though I guess a few negative posters here (all male, obviously) still aren't getting what it's all about. Kelly doesn't come right out and say it, and maybe she herself is not even aware of what is (rightly) ruffling her tail feathers so much over this, but from where I sit, it's all about shining the spotlight on an ongoing major problem in the music industry -- namely, SEXISM and how it was so predictable that a talented and financially successful young female artist like Taylor Swift would be thoroughly crapped on sooner or later. Again, Kelly herself may not be aware of what apparently just comes naturally to her, but it's all about much needed positive CHANGE and about doing what you can to stop this type of thing from happening again in the future.

So what's next with Taylor if somebody like Kelly (and apparently the POTUS now, too) didn't say something? Her future children will be taken from her because she shaves her head, then complete control of her finances will be taken from her as if we lived in pre-nazi Germany? Nah. Now I'm just being ridiculous. That can't happen to a powerful young female artist in the music industry right before everybody's eyes, right? Gawd knows that didn't happen, and is still not happening, to Britney Spears, right?

The really sad thing is that it's a black guy instigating the sexist hatred this time instead of a jealous and angry gay man named Perez Hilton. I would tend to think a black guy would know better after being at the receiving end of this kind of crap himself, no doubt, but so be it.; September 17, 2009 8:43 AM
H Nicole said...: Perez Hilton is Cuban. LOL! I guess if it's written at Wikipedia, it must be true. At least I'm not going to stoop to calling you a penis-head for believing that one, somastud415. I'm above name calling. LOL!; September 17, 2009 8:57 AM

I can almost double or nothing the dollars to donuts bet that you, Mary, were a part of that big fiasco years ago where Craigslist almost had to close down completely before it even got off the ground. There were so many gay men from San Francisco posing as women on the Craigslist boards that it almost brought criminal charges against the company.

There is no turning back for you now! Please leave the female award winner Taylor Swift ALONE!; September 18, 2009 2:55 AM
Carly Brandt said...: Ok so for all the Kelly "haters" out there, let's get this straight... So because Kelly is considered a celebrity she gets frowned upon because she voices out her opinion? What you all forgot is Kelly did not publicly humiliate anybody, or steal the lime light from someone who deserved it. We all choose to read and or comment on this blog. Yes, no one got injured or died (thankfully) out of the VMA situation, but someone Kelly obviously cared about got hurt in the process and I think it is extremely humble what Kelly did. This just proves to me how great of a person Kelly is by just being a friend to Taylor. What makes all of you bloggers who are dissing Kelly any better? Oh, and someone please explain to me how the hell Kelly is being a racist? (last time I checked this had nothing to do with race, and that stab is getting a little old.) I think its amazing how you can say "who cares?" when you took the time to look up the blog and comment on it. Can you say hypocrite? The funny thing is that the only opinion that matters to me is Kelly's (and all of her supporters). I'm honestly amazed at all of the cowards who post nasty remarks. Its sad, because some of you have gone way to far. The point of Kelly's blog was to voice her opinion, not to create this thread of personal stabs at each other. Maybe, just maybe, some of you can learn something from this WHOLE situation and why this blog was written in the first place...

Thank you Kelly, for once again being a hero. Keep up the amazing work!

Antoine said...: While I somewhat agree with you saying Kanye was wrong for what he did, you were wrong in getting personal to the extent that you did. Plus, honesty, neither you nor Taylor will ever reach his level of success. You both are talented and you both will try, but sadly you both are in the "15 minute fame" category and it just hasn't expire yet.

This is why I hate this whole situation, people are coming out of the woodwork saying stuff when it doesn't involve them. Had Beyonce not did what she did, honesty, we wouldn't even be talking about this. It would be another youtube clip that kids laugh at in school.

The truth of the matter is, this is between Kayne and Taylor. They're over it and so should everyone else. Kanye has done this before and the SAME folk getting on him now, are the SAME folk on "Best Week Ever" laughing their heads off cuz he did this to Britney, Justin, OutKast and Jay-Z. Which were far more worse than this since most lead to actual fights.; September 18, 2009 4:07 AM
Jocelyn said...: It is sad that people cant say positive things during a negative situation. While you are talking, you are making it seem like his mother did not do her job as a mother. WATCH IT! No one is trash not even you, GOD created all of us, and I dont think any of us are trash. We all make mistakes, including you. Lets be mindful that we are not perfect human beings, we do and we will make ill choices, including you. Yours are just not public yet. Be careful of how you let words come out, because they can come back to haunt you. People are so special. They involve themselves in so much that does not pertain to them. This situation does not involve you, yet you got personal. Before this, had you told or would you have told him you didnt like him, I DONT THINK SO, Remember, you are not the JUDGE of people, Let him (THE ALMIGHTY) take care of that. One more thing, DO ANY OF YOU THINK KANYE REALLY CARE ABOUT WHO DOES NOT LIKE HIM.; September 18, 2009 5:12 AM
H Nicole said...: I want to know where the heck some of these guys here (or is it just one or two guys?) go to get paid for posting their anti-Kelly garbage. I think I am definitely going about this all wrong. Only men capitalize, Jocelyn -- men or women like me who have been outnumbered by hyper-aggressive guys online, like, 10 to 1 for years now, that is, if you include all those men posing as women who somehow never seem to have legitimate profiles whenever you check on them, Joceyln. Hiding behind the Bible is a new one on this string, though, so I give you extra credit points for creativity. You must have gotten a little extra bonus for that, I'm sure.

Of course, if not the ALL CAPS TESTOSTERONE FEST, the thinly veiled threats would have given you away anyway, Jocelyn -- I'm just saying, I can do a helluva lot better job trashing other women using a made-up woman's name, so where do you go to get paid for this?; September 18, 2009 9:26 AM

Kanye has already pulled the same stunt he pulled on Talyor at the Europe music awards a few years ago. He didnt win so he stormed the stage and said his video should have won because it was most expensive.

Hey H Nicole, when Kanye stormed the stage guess what....IT WAS TWO GUYS!! yes that right TWO RED BLOODED MALES. Two of the big bad men you seem to have such a massive chip on your shoulder about.

So your comments about sexism are invalid, i know exactly the type of person you are, manipulating every situation to make you and other women the victim, even though the whole music industry in this instance has backed a woman over a man.

Utterly pathetic annoying wannabe feminist.

Melody said...: Kelly:

I don't think I could have said it better myself or addressed it so well if I tried. I absolutely agree with the fact that he is (Kanye) tactless and should be ashamed of his actions....and if her were my son...I would have been embarrassed to say so and embarrassed for him. I never liked him before as I felt he set a bad example for my 14 year old son and had an attitude I certainly wouldn't want my son to adopt. Although, I admire his work at times, felt badly for him losing his mother (probably the only person who would dare to tell the "great Kanya West" about himself!)but none the less I never liked him as a person. You have folks who are honest and direct and can, at times, be tactless (Simon could be an example one of them) but you usually see a since of regret and human compassion (like often you will see with Simon...I Love you Simon...he isn't intentionally an asshole...or rude...) but Kanye seems to take great pride in "puffing himself up" as the "God to himself he is" (I guess we all have to have a fantasy, right?) But he is going beyond the realms of fantasy when he thinks people honestly enjoy his "heartless" tactics that should embarrass himself but certainly embarrass others...even when meant in a "supposedly complimentary" form...(which, in my opinion came off more as a "racist" form than a compliment to Beyonce....and I am from a mixed relationship and family...So, I can say that!)

Beyonce, on the other hand, as you pointed out, is ever the "Lady" and shows it in all she does...She is the "Princess Diana of Music"...ever graceful and ever loving. She brought me to tears when she gracefully gave up her time to give thanks to Taylor...and the look on that young girls face was worth every album, music download and price paid for a great song today. God Bless her and the family that raised Beyonce...she is AMAZING!

And TAYLOR...YOU DERSERVED THAT AWARD....YOU GOT TWO AWARDS...ONE, IN THE FORM OF A MAN ON THE MOON AND THE OTHER IN THE FORM OF "TWO SEASONED PROS" TO SHOW YOU THAT STARDOM DOESN'T HAVE TO CHANGE WHO YOU ARE OR THE FIBERS OF YOUR BEING... from both the Beautiful Beyonce on national TV and Kelly Clarkson for being your "internet champion"....Don't lose who you are darlin'! Not Ever!

Thank you Kelly... here is something for you...I lost my mother to Inflammatory Breast Cancer last October...she had an incredible way to pick "winners" and good people...she pegged you to win that year on American Idol...bought your first album and all after that she could before she died, followed you and loved you for the beautiful person she said you would always be (even with stardom)...she is still right...She is an Angel watching over you today (I am sure). Thank you for showing her she is right even in the ever after....Melody, Also a Texan (American Indian/Irish desent) But a Florida raised, European adopted, Spanish by heart girl!; September 18, 2009 4:18 PM

About you, stupid "terance", you seem like a jealous little kid! Asshole!

Go Kelly! Luv you!

carlyd53 said...: Hell yeah!! Go Kelly!!! Kanye is such a JERK. Claiming how "sorry" he was and how he "really wanted to say sorry to Taylor in person" but never even made an attempt. He sucks!; September 19, 2009 5:04 PM
Anderson said...: Sooooo true Kelly, Rock on Kelly & Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!; September 19, 2009 5:53 PM
H Nicole said...: From Wikipedia:

On November 2, 2006, when his "Touch the Sky" failed to win Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards, West went onto the stage as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends" and argued that he should have won the award instead.

On September 9, 2007, West suggested that his race had to do with his being overlooked for opening the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in favor of Britney Spears; he claimed, "Maybe my skin’s not right." He also appeared on several radio stations saying that Britney Spears hasn't had a hit in a long period of time and that MTV exploited her for ratings.

*************************

Okay, so I guess Kanye only does this to top selling female artists in the US (Britney and Taylor) -- plus unknown white guys from Europe. Yup. That just about sums up how the entire sexist music industry views its female artists.

Sorry, detractors, but I'm still sticking with the argument that SEXISM is the main driving force behind what Kanye did because he would never pull this garbage on a relatively well known male artist. It only makes it more pathetic when Kanye and others try to pass this behavior off as some kind of race issue or anything other than fully condoned sexism.

And while on the subject of condoned sexism -- I'm still waiting for that list, jrcd3000, of male record executives and male recording artists that publicly denounced what Kanye did to Taylor -- and I wait with 'bated breath, of course, as always.; September 19, 2009 8:43 PM
Vanessa said...: I love you Kelly and although I am NOT a Kanye West Fan he did lose his mother and maybe talking about his childhood is not such a bright idea? Just sayin... PS. I love the cover you did of The Climb as much as I respect Miley as an artist you def out-shined her. That song sounds amazing!! So much respect goes out to you!; September 19, 2009 11:47 PM
Camilo said...: you have no reason to get into something you do not incoviene, bring something if you come down in weight; September 20, 2009 1:47 AM
H Nicole said...: Gawd almighty! Like cockroaches, they come crawling out of the woodwork on these boards!

Okay, so Vanessa and Camilo are probably two more members of JAGMA (the Jealous and Angry Gay Man Army) -- or quite possibly the same one or two members of JAGMA -- who keep making up new profile names (which are always mysteriously blocked from view) and coming here and posting garbage as if these are all separate people.

Yes, of course I may be wrong, especially about them being gay men, though I doubt it from extensive experience on the subject. That it is mostly men doing this, gay or not, is a pretty slam dunk guess no matter how you slice it, though. I am just trying to point out (to anybody still following this thread) a very common phenomenon that needs to stop -- or at least that more people need to become aware of in online commenting -- that small groups of aggressive, probably male and possibly paid, online posters often try to control the mood and opinions of a larger group of people. It is extremely easy to do in online commenting and is extremely effective, hence why it is so common.

I'm guessing (only guessing) that gay man "Vanessa" is in some way connected to gay man "Mary" from an earlier post on this thread with some improvements (suggested by me, ironically), like only one capitalized word this time around, plus the thinly veiled threats from "Mary" are gone and have been replaced by "loving disapproval" (i.e., -- I love you Kelly BUT was that such a bright idea?) LOL!

The thing is the testosterone (and yes, gay men actually have this hormone in larger quantities on average than non gay men, believe it or not) always rears its ugly head in some form or another, and in this case it reveals itself in the common practice of dumping on one targeted female in order to try to pretend to support another. It's exactly what Kanye did and is exactly what "Vanessa" does in his post above. "Gee, Kelly, I love you because you are so much better than that other highly threatening female Miley Cyrus, who happens to be another big target of ours after Taylor."

Anyway, trying to pit one female against another and cause trouble that way is very male -- and very gay male in particular. I'm just saying...; September 20, 2009 8:41 AM
Loki said...: O please Kelly...its the VMA's, get over yourself...you are famous because you won a contest on a reality show...and you dare call Kanye a sad human being..yea..that sure is the high road. Come to the BET awards and talk that trash...you and me both know you wont...because people like you only say things like that when they are in their comfort zone. Its easy to talk about people online, but face to face is so much more interesting Kelly. ;)

Loki; September 20, 2009 2:44 PM
H Nicole Young said...: Great. Now we've got a 28 year-old male engineer with a questionable first name and no last name (talk about being an online coward talking trash from a comfort zone) trying to intimidate Kelly and others with thinly veiled physical threats. At least this one has a profile and a blog.

Well, Loki, I've read your blog. I'm a bit confused because you almost sound like you are trying to come across as a black man in your post with the line "come to the BET awards", yet you trash BET on your blog and carry on about many issues that usually interest mostly conservative white males, so I'm guessing you are a white guy, no? Not that it should matter, but you are the one who seems to be putting race front and center on this issue, not me.

Your blog is also interesting in that you say you treat women with respect -- for instance, apparently buying them lots of things is a form of respect to you -- and yet you can't figure out on your blog why women don't like you. Hmmm. Well, not sure if this has ever occurred to you, but last I heard, Kelly is a woman, and I'm not sure I see a lot of "respect" in that post of yours, so maybe this is a problem.

Finally, you may not know it, but believe me on this one -- I am guessing you might be gay. I myself am bisexual, so I am not saying that as an insult or to denigrate you. Just think about it. If there is something there, it would probably make life so much nicer for everybody, including you, if you resolved this issue within yourself before posting your opinions online.; September 20, 2009 6:11 PM
LoViNg YoU iS wAd I dO said...: Nice one Kelly :)

Kayne is a MEANINE!Even Mr Obama says so ! KAYNE YOURE TRASHED BIG TIME ! Who is he to comment who should win the award ?; September 20, 2009 10:17 PM
Jessica said...: Seeing the Kayne fiasco unfold live before my eyes was was enough, but to actually now sit back and read what people wrote, who have a mediocre vocabulary and the inability to even give reasoning as to why our wonderful 1st amendment can not be followed is beyond me. What has really taken place is once again the well know "outburster" Mr. Kayne West, has once again proven that he has no control over his mouth. He speaks before he can think and then has to come behind himself afterwords and apologize for his "actions". If he would just shut up in the first place he would never have to apologize, except for his inability to understand that there is no sun indoors and sunglasses are not required, but that will be saved for another day. I believe that Kelly, fans, and every other person in this world has the utmost right and responsibility to talk about what happens in our world. Without people disagreeing publicly then we would all just act like we agree with everything that happens, and we know that's not the case. I feel like people who are saying anyone who speaks against Kayne is a racist needs to step back to the past and live in a REAL black man's shoes to see real racism. If a white man had done the same thing I am pretty positive that everyone would be reacting in the same manner. However I am sure the race card would not have been thrown. I am no racist nor will I ever be. Leave this site alone and do us all a favor and be better than your mentor Kayne and actually think before you make an ass out of yourself. Thank you! -Jessica; September 21, 2009 4:18 AM
Kelly said...: Kelly, the best thing about your comment, that Taylor is a very talented, fantastic singer, person, human being who deserved your time in the spot light for her great work. Kudos to you for standing up to Kanye, most would not. I also am so happy that Beyonce stood up and did what was right. These awards are for those who deserve recognition to receive it... we enjoy watching the celebrities present, perform and receive awards. For god sakes... we listen to your music probably more than we see our loved ones, your music helps us get through the day! God Bless Kelly...and love your CD...listen to it daily!; September 21, 2009 9:05 AM
kellyschoolwork said...: Hey Kelly I think that is absolutely very modest and sweet of you to comment in such a way over the whole inccident! Anyway I am fan of your music! And considering that i am a fan of only 3 artists (including you), you must be honored! :); September 21, 2009 11:14 PM
Z-man said...: Reading one of H Nicole's comments here where she highlights some Kanye stuff from Wikipedia the thought occured to me that Kanye would be far better off as a music critic. Some of his opinions about other artists, whether you agree with them or not are legitimate opinions for anyone to hold and you'll regularly read stuff like this in Rolling Stone and elsewhere but as a fellow artist he should show some respect and act with decorum. It'd be like if Brad Pitt started criticizing his fellow actors and stormed the stage at the Oscars with "I should have one!" There are music critics and the artists themselves, there are movie reviewers and the actors and it's commonly understood (except in Kanye's case) the roles, responsibilities and limitations of each. Trouble is Kanye thinks he's or should be everything so that's how the issue breaks down for me.; September 22, 2009 7:58 AM
Seth Strickland said...: Alright Kelly here's my take on all of this....you right what he did was wrong. But you've done the same thing to your record label and those who have worked with you. Now you wanna be prejudice? This bothers me, you don't know me personally either. You only know Kendra and Alan, you only know two of my friends and that's your only link to me. Yet you wanna call out a fellow R&B artist? On stuff you know very little about? What do you think that tells me about you as a person? You done some sh*tty things too, and you talk about how you ex cheated on you and yet I've forgiven everything you done. But you can't?

Seth Strickland; September 24, 2009 12:40 PM
H Nicole Young said...: Well, Seth Strickland, congratulations on having a first and last name even though I doubt it's your real name. Once again creating a profile today just to come here and bag on Kelly is just so typical -- and cliche. Can't you guys be a little more creative -- and a little more manly?

And whhyyy are you dropping names of people you probably don't even know (though somebody named Seth Strickland might) and pretending to have some inside track in the music business? You sound like a jerk. Get a life.

H Nicole Young (a real person); September 24, 2009 5:27 PM
thomlikesexplosions said...: Kelly,

You'll probably never read this, but I love you. If you watch the infamous moment from the VMA's, Beyonce looks horrified that Kanye was onstage talking about her video. Taylor Swift isn't my cup of tea, but she was so sincerely shocked that she won, it was television gold until Kanye came in and took a big dump on it.

UNRELATED: Please do a record of Dolly Parton covers. Please and thank you. Contact me and I will select the songs with you. And, we can get pizza; I mean this in a non-invasive way, as I am clearly a homosexual. But let's get pizza and listen to Dolly records and then we can watch the movie Clue. Just a suggestion.; September 24, 2009 8:55 PM
Kathryn H said...: Kelly,

Wow I'v not heard anyone word it better than Kelly, But Kanye was a total and complete utter dosh that night wat gives him the right to say that specially when Taylor was stood next to him. It was not cool. Even my dad who never says a bad thing about anyone he doesn't know called Kanye a 'total tit'and i agreed with him and called him a dosh. Aaany who thank you for reading, i know i wrote it a tad late but nevermind. There's always time to rip Kanye West.

Anonymous said...: I'm late on this subject BUT, I was looking for tickets to the Cedar Park concert and read most of the thread. I'm in Austin TX and just admitted to all of my friends and family that I like KC...a lot.

As for “somastud415” and your posts: If you are so down on what KC said, then why are you wasting your time on Kelly's blog? Your wisdom and Kanye-love is better suited to forums that support him.

Kelly is not the only person that was outraged. Did you see Katy Perry or Pink's comments?

Also, I have a PhD in English Lit and your grammar is embarrassing. I hope you aren't paying off any student loans. That would be a sad commentary to all educational institutions.; October 25, 2009 4:13 PM

OMG! LOL! Your way of expressing the truth is soooo wonderful! I could not have said it better!
It's amazing how money and fame can corrupt some. In the end, I think money and fame simply show the world for what you are. Case in point: you! Money and fame has put you under a microscope and unlike Kanye, you have shown the world that you are filled with love, class, and of course talent beyond imagination!
Thank you once again for calling it like it is! Your my idol Kelly!; February 10, 2010 3:35 PM
