Kanye West vs. Taylor (STAGED)


So by now it's probably a given. Every year Kanye West somehow manages to ruin and up and coming bands big moment at an MTV award show. But how come its only ever at an MTV award show? Looks very conspiracy-esque to me.Lets look into this one...
In modern times it's no seceret that record sales have hit an all time low with piracy on the rise (With the recession and filesharing). So what do you do to renew interest in buying music?Stage an 'unforseen event' to switch up the intrests of the customer.
You see, MTV are one of the biggest/respected names in the music industry and are recognized the world over. Only they could put on a show elaborate enough to fool everybody.
Mtv were smart in what they did. When you think about it.In modern television, a fair percentage is made up of reality tv. But why do people watch these reality tv shows? Well for numerous reasons but primarily the dramatics. Besides reality tv what's one of the most used storys/plots for tv shows? The rise and fall of course!...
Now! taking into account these elements of quote/unquote 'forms of entertainment, what did we witness that VMA award show?..
.. Kanye West putting down an up and coming young musical artist and shatter her big night's potential. When people saw this they felt sorry for her and went out to buy her album in support.
Taylor Swift wasn't warned so that she wouldn't have to "act" and it would be real.Taylor Swift wasn't warned so that she wouldn't have to "act" and it would be a realistic reaction.
In closing,Everybody is a winner!...
Kanye - ''there is no such thing as bad publicity''.He has a reputation for being a bit of an ass hole and that shifts his records.
Mtv got alot of hits on their site with massive traffic trying to see the video .Traffic=money.and they had a great share of the viewership that night with everyone expeting a KANYE
Finally the big winner is taylor. She sold alot of records after the whole stunt and is still selling massive ammounts (more so in america than anywhere else.) to her fans and just people in general wanting to support her.
Until next time,
Kevin
