He dedicates the apologetic statements to Taylor, her mother and fans for interrupting the country music star’s Best Female Video acceptance speech at this year’s MTV VMAs.

Earning criticism for interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West wasted no time to issue an apology to the young country music singer. Not only he dedicated the apologetic statements, which he posted on his blog few hours after the incident took place, to Taylor, but also to her mother and fans.

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID,” Kanye began his post. “SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! ………………….. I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT! …………….”

“BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW,” the hip-hop artist continued. “WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!!”

“YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME … THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!,” Kanye ended his post.

Kanye West managed to set tongue wagging when he suddenly jumped to the stage at the 26th Annual MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, September 13 when Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech for her Best Female Video prize. She was delivering her speech when he took away the microphone she was holding and telling audience that Beyonce Knowles should have won the prize for the music video of her track “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”.

“Yo Taylor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” he shouted. Both Taylor and Beyonce were shocked at Kanye’s action.

However, later that day when she was announced as Video of the Year winner for her “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” music video, Beyonce invited Taylor to once again come to the stage and finish her speech which was previously cut short by Kanye.

Janet Jackson Releases New Single Following VMA Performance

Janet Jackson 2009

Janet Jackson paid loving tribute to her late brother Michael at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, dancing along with a projection of MJ as their duet “Scream” played on the big screen. The dramatic opening of the show, which included a moving speech from Madonna, was just her first tip of the fedora to Michael, though.

A short time later, Janet gave the ultimate thank you to her beloved sibling by posting a new single, “Make Me,” on her Web site. The song, seemingly the first single from her upcoming album, reportedly due out in early 2010, is an uptempo dance jam with a chorus that pays loving tribute to MJ’s iconic 1979 solo single “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.”

Easing up on the darker S&M themes of her recent albums, “Make Me” is a fun, breezy tune with an elastic disco beat in which Jackson teases the object of her obsession to “go on get up and shake your body,” promising “we’re gonna have a good time.”

The chorus twists Michael’s refrain into a Janet-worthy, sexy come-on, with the lyrics, “Don’t stop ’til you get it up,” as she entices her man to join her on the dance floor and shake it until the morning light. “Baby can you move, make me groove/ Show me what you do, make me move/ Baby can you move, make me groove/ Show me what you can do, make me move,” she sings in the ear-candy hook, adding one of her signature breathy come-ons later in the tune to seal the deal. “If you feel like you can get it tonight,” she coos. “But first you gotta make me say … Oooohhh.”

On her Twitter page, Jackson explained the gift-wrapped look of the “Make Me” stream on her site. “Thank u for ur endless love n support! I hope u guys enjoyed us tonight. It was very special for me n I have a very special gift for all of u.”

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards might have wrapped, but the party is far from over. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates, party reports and much more.
