Taylor Swift versus Kanye West

Of course Kanye West was rude. If it had been Eminem or 50Cent who won the award, I bet he would not be so tough enough to walk up and took the mike away from Taylor Swift. And the worse part was this was Taylor Swift's first VMA award won. I like what Taylor Swift had said - She was thrilled she won. She was thrilled Kanye West appeared on stage with her. And suddenly, she was not so thrilled anymore. But a good person she is that she chose not to bad-mouth him. PR, people. PR!!! Perhaps Kanye can learn a lesson or two.

One website said that Kanye West acted that way because he did not like when things didn't go his way. Translated - he was losing BIG TIME. And he was a coward. Snatching the mike away was like taking a lollipop away from a young girl. How rude. Damn rude.

So, the world sympathizes with the talented country chick. Okay, so Kanye West is a jackass. Don't quote me. Quote the President.

What does this convert to?

• More album sales for Taylor Swift. It's bound to happen. Winning an award helps to promote the album. Sympathies promote even more.
• More airplays for Taylor Swift's You Belong to Me. I expect it to go up the chart again.
• Taylor Swift is going to win awards in Country Music Award. Not that she wasn't expected to before this whole incident, but I am talking about winning more than expected. Remember Dixie Chicks in the Grammy?
  

Ask Madonna. When Academy Award sneered at her Evita, the world did not disagree, but it did not stop the increase of sympathy for the lady who worked so hard to promote Evita and yet was rejected. That year, interestingly Grammy embraced her. She won 3 Grammy Awards.

Ask Nicole Kidman. When ex-hubby dumped her, talented Nicole who was overlook often for Best Actress nomination got her first one for her portrayal in Moulin Rouge and eventually won the year after for her role in The Hours.

Sympathy wins.
