FOR LEGAL REASONS THE ACTUAL VIDEO WILL NOT BE UPLOADED BY MYSELF BECAUSE VIACOM ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING THEIR CONTENT REMOVED AND THE PEOPLE WHO UPLOADED IT BANNED. FOR THIS REASON, I AM NOT RISKING LOSING MY ACCOUNT, AND THIS VIDEO IS JUST MY THOUGHTS ON THE EVENT.

seemed pretty surprised herself to have won the VMA for Best Female Music Video on Sunday evening, but the real shock came when Kanye West suddenly burst onto the stage and rudely stole the microphone from the country crooner during her acceptance speech.
"Yo Taylor, Im really happy for you, Ill let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time," West said. "One of the best videos of all time!"
A clearly embarrassed Swift stood motionless, not knowing what to do as West continued his rant. Eventually, audience members rose to their feet and booed the rapper down as cameras captured a mortified Beyonce. West took his seat (to make matters worse, time was up and Swift didn't even have a chance to fire back) and controversy continued to ensue as a multitude of celebs told him off, prompting security to circle the area.
Diddy later took to the stage to present an award, but the second "Kanye" was uttered again the crowd booed and "Taylor" was chanted through Radio City Hall, the tension reaching a high point when West's nominated video was played
.Beyonce's hit "Single Ladies" eventually got all it deserved by taking on the big one - Video of the Year. The ever-classy Knowles dedicated her time to Swift and had the emotional teen idol return to the stage for the opportunity to give her acceptance without any interruption.
The controversy certainly stole the spotlight from what was anticipated to be the show highlight — Madonna opening for Janet Jackson and her tribute to brother Michael.
The Queen of Pop did let us in a little secret however, she did go on a few "dates" with the late King of Pop and that she felt an overwhelming sense of guilt that she had "abandoned" him after hearing of his sudden passing. But on a (kind of) positive note, her sons aged nine and four are now "obsessed" with MJ.
"There is a lot of crotch grabbing and moon walking going on in my house," Madonna said.
We then spotted Joe Jackson smiling through Janet's intense performance while Jermaine was straight-faced, absorbing the moment.
