Kanye West at VMAs: Sama Team investigates


By Sama Team | September 17, 2009


At that time, the video showing Kanye West grabbing the mic as Taylor Swift accepts her award on stage at the MTV’s Video Music Awards this week-end, has been seen worldwide. He obviously drank too much, as we could see him taking swigs from a bottle on the VMAs carpet.

Some did enjoy the show, some others say it was a disrespectful act, and some others think the whole thing was a publicity stunt. The Sama Team decided to investigate; read below the conclusions of our extensive five minutes investigation:

What Kanye drank was not alcohol, it was a sirup colored beverage, put in the first bottle the singer could grab. Her girlfriend was smiling, laughing on his side, even when Kanye was taking swigs because she knew it wasn't alcohol. Kanye really believes Beyonce’s video is the best of this decade, so he couldn't be drank when saying it on stage. Any resemblance to the Bruno and Eminem incident at the MTV Movie Awards is purely coincidental. It has become a sensitive matter of state since President Obama called Kanye West a ‘jackass’. He just announced a joint tour with Lady Gaga - but we think he was drunk when accepting (just kidding, we love Lady Gaga).

So now we clearly see the facts as they really were. Kanye is a brilliant artist, he's got his own plane and shares (remember in Entourage?) and he wears very strange glasses. We would be proud to accept Kanye West in the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society of ours which motto is:

Drink in moderation. A true epicurean is a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially good food and drink). No use to drink (or eat) much to fully enjoy a unique moment).

It was a great show I enjoyed it and the face of Taylor Swift was so funny :twisted:

I watched the video and Kanye didn’t seem to be drunk. :oops:

I don’t get why Obama had to say something about what happened. It was an off-record declaration but that’s very surprising.

I also think that the VMA producers loved it, it was a good publicity for them!

Kanye West apologized on the Jay Leno Show but I’m still very disapointed in him……….

You’re right Juliette, it was the Huffington Post who reported that Obama called Kanye a jackass in an off-the-record comment. I was also surprised.

I think what Kanye did was rude but I have no clue who is Taylor Swift…….. She sings country music, right? She looks cute :P

Sama Reader Dittta

You’re so right Mark, the look on Taylor’s face said it all. But I wonder how in the world did MTV let that happen? For publicity? Maybe… :roll:

I love Pink comment on the event. If it happened to her, she would have knocked him right off the stage and that would have been so funny… Taylor Swift is too young to defend herself, she was like stunned like a little girl LOL

Sama Reader Moshuo

Kudos to the Sama Team, your investigation made my laugh, you found the right arguments. Now I can see your witty humour because Kanye West was totally drunk and apparently it really made his girlfriend laugh. Maybe he should change and get someone more like his mother, serious and who will tell him when he’s going too far instead of encourage him.

Sama Reader Laurent

I don’t know Taylor Swift neither, in France she is totally unknown but it doesn’t change what he did. I think what K.West did was totally out of line. I never liked his music anyway, I’m not surprised, I heard pretty nasty things about him and his behaviour…..

Kanye West is childish and narcissistic, so what? You can’t blame a man for speaking his mind……..

I agree with Fonzy, that was entertaining :P

The guy just ruined the moment for the poor girl :(

LOL

I don’t want to be mean but the look of embarrassment on her face was so sad that’s why it was so funny :)

Sama Reader Ghosty

I don’t support what he did but I think that Kanye was sincere on Leno. I also think he was right, Beyonce deserved the award more than Swift.

Sama Reader Juliette

Mark, everyone is entitled to their opinion but Kanye West should have kept his to himself and not interrupt the poor Taylor Swift! His outburst is completely unacceptable, no excuses, sorry.

Sama Reader Meddi

I like the derision the Sama Team uses on that news, great post :)

About Kanye West, I don’t know what to think. He was drunk and didn’t really know what he was doing. This is not an excuse but it explains why he did what he did. Besides that, I can’t understand why this incident has been gaining such momentum. :roll:

The President of the United States himself had something to say about the incident….. Seriously, this is going too far just for a bad behaviour Kanye West had.

:roll:

Sama Reader Pilar

¡Hola!

I don’t know country music but I know Taylor Swift, she’s 19 and I almost started to cry when I saw the sadness on her face…..

Beyonce did very well inviting her on stage but the girl seemed to be speechless and I was surprised she didn’t have anything to say.

She will remember the event all her life Jajaja

Kanye West wanted to support Beyonce but it had a counterproductive effect, Taylor Swift is now even more popular :P

Meddi, agreed.

Taylor Swift had a good video and she deserved that award.

Laurent, what Kanye did to Taylor was disrespectful, but it wasn’t atypical behavior for him, he has made an ass out of himself on awards shows before this incident at the VMAs……….

Sama Reader J.T. Brown

I also thought it was hilarious :P

Sama Reader Gulove

True, Taylor’s frozen state definitely amplified Kanye’s unexecpected act.

Like Dimbrose I’m interested into becoming a member of the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society. How can I do that? Please tell me!! ;)

Sama Reader Moshuo

Beyonce asked Taylor back on stage, it proves she is a very kind and compassionate person. I really like this woman a lot!

PS: Are the regular Sama-Readers part (by default) of the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society? Because we are good people you know, excepted for Mark :twisted:

Sama Reader Mark

On the contrary Moshuo, I consider myself as a true cynic epicurean :mrgreen:

I deserve to be one of the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society member, just like Kanye West does!!

Sama Reader Juliette

No way Mark, I’ll explain to the Sama Team why you don’t deserve to be a member :twisted:

Dimbrose

I’m sure Kanye West would be so honored to be an official member of the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society!

We should ask him since the Sama Team supported him all through the VMAs incident. ;)

Sama Reader Muzzi

Sure, let’s ask Kanye, he can’t afford to decline this invitation made by the Sama Team.

Go Kanye, go! :P
