Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck

Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.

What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?

Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...

Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?

Kanye West- classless and just plain rude.
Annie Lennox- priceless.

In general I thoght the performances at the Grammys have been much improved the last few years. Regardless of its provenance, I think Sam smith sings the hell out of that song (check out the Austin City Limits performance). OTOH, Madonna has clearly jumped the shark and who the hell dressed Taylor Swift?

He's entitled to his own opinion and he can shout it from the rooftops after the show or tweet it or facebook it or however he wants to disseminate it, but not verbally during the awards ceremony. Rude is rude.
