Thoughts, Kanye West?

The adorable and talented Taylor Swift was crowned Entertainer of the Year by the Associated Press yesterday. The country diva has had herself quite a year and we think it is very well deserved!

Congrats, T-Swizzle!

How will you and Taylor Lautner celebrate???

      I guess when you can't sing and your audience is only pre-teens then you are entertainer of the year.



    2. 2

      She's the entertainer of the year for white girls between the ages of 8 and 16.

      Not usually a big Taylor Swift fan, but she looks so beautiful in that photo!
      I'm sure her and Taylor Lautner found a nice way to celebrate .. ;)



    4. 4

      Cute/sweet girl but she cannot sing very well.



    5. 5

      i love her, she's my idol (:
      congrats to her ^^

      What a joke. Hate to be all Kanye but Beyonce or really anyone else for that matter deserved that title much more. She encourages high school girls to be pathetic and whiny and to not take responsibility and talk trash about other girls. She seems cute enough but her songs are not empowering and they suck. Way to fail associated press

      Dear Jesus……. please in the name of all that is holy, make this girl go away.



    8. 8

      good for her. go taylor~



    9. 9

      Hey Taylor? I'm real happy for you, and I'ma let you finish… But Beyonce is the best entertainer of all time…

      ALL TIME….



    10. 10

      She seems nice and all, sometimes she comes off as fake to me though… and personally I think Gaga is a way better performer and is way more interesting. Taylor had a great year, but I'm REALLY sick of her….



    11. 11

      ENOUGH with Taylor Swift. She is so overrated!!!

      Congrats my LOVE :) xoxoxoxoxoxo

      I don't know but her face looks so bitchy….

      Re: Orator – more classy than your black female star rhianna



    15. 15

      Maybe they'll go boyfriend shopping together.



    16. 16

      It certainly must be the end of times because this chick is AVERAGE!!!! Cute… okay. Nice… okay. Good writer… yes. But her singing is just plain average. There were people who didn't make it to Hollywood Week on Idol who sing far better. Just goes to show we don't have high standards in the US.



    17. 17

      Re: Orator

      Exactly.



    18. 18

      you have to be kidding me. No talent, annoying, and undeserving of this award. I don't get how's she's entertained anybody. She can't sing, doesn't dance…I mean really..Kanye should get the award because he was the only thing that involved her entertaining in any way.

      lady gaga on the other hand…brilliant entertainer.



    19. 19

      Re: ShoelessDeadGirl

      You said it. I can think of at least 1000 more people who are far more entertaining. Ya know, for starters, people with real talent.



    20. 20

      This chick's eyes always look like two pissholes in the snow.



    21. 21

      Luv her Watermelon lipcolour from Clinique….



    22. 22

      Taylor's really pretty in this picture.
      I like her positive attitude and she seems like a sweet young girl.
      BUT SO OVER-RATED IN THE VOCAL DEPARTMENT!!!!
      I honestly think that many music lovers are sick to death of the half-naked, self-important divas that are so prevalent in pop/rock music.
      Taylor is the breath of fresh air .. too bad her voice isn't.



    23. 23

      I really think she deserves it. I saw her live in 2007 when she was on tour with Brad Paisley before she hit super-stardom, and she was amazing even then. Her stage presence is wonderful. I'll admit she's not the best live singer in the world, but who is? I've never seen a live singer who hits every note perfectly and sounds exactly how they do on their recorded song. But she gets into her songs and you can tell when she sings she cares about every word she's saying and involves the crowd. You can tell she really has love and gratitude for all her fans, and I think that's what makes a great entertainer.



    24. 24

      seriously you guys, actually listen to her cd Fearless, they're are some really great songs on there.

      Kind of hard to argue with. Of note the award is for Entertainer of the Year not just Musician of the Year, as last year Tina Fey won this award.



    26. 26

      Hey I think Lady Gaga would have been perfect! She can entertain you. JMO!



    27. 27

      SHE CANT SING! she only got this because of Kayne West. overrated!



    28. 28

      ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ says a lot about the state of entertainment at this point. what s-h-i-t.



    29. 29

      lady gaga is the entertainer of the year. this is just like nickleback being 'crowned' the band of the decade by billboard. what a load of SHIT.



    30. 30

      Fuck this!!! i am appalled that Taylor Switft was named entertainer of the year. Remember Michael Jackson??? someone who could actually dance, write, sing, and perform!?!?! come on guys!! what is the music industry coming to?! I think everybody needs to take a step back and re-think this whole thing. The girl can't sing live so how does that make her a good entertainer?!? and Kanye shouldn't talk either cause he shouldn't sing live either!!!!!!!



    31. 31

      Go Taylor!!!! You are an awesome talent. The girl writes her own music, plays a musical instrument, sings, a true artist. Beyonce CAN'T even write her own songs as she's accused and sued for stealing. Taylor is as wholesome as American apple pie and it irritates people. So what!!! Her music has touched many lives in a good way and she should be proud and awarded accordingly. God Bless you, girlie, and may it continue for you Always. Go as far as you can no matter what the haters say or do.



    32. 32

      Aw congrats to her. She works hard for her succes and seems genuinly sweet.



    33. 33

      Re: Wuffeh – Of all time? no definently Michael Jackson ..but anyways Beyonce is a better entertainer than her though..i dont even think Taylors entertaining does she dance? or does she just stand in one place play the acoustic guitar and sing? i think its good that she wins these awards she's a sweet girl but it shouldnt be about personality it should be about talent and do i think she deserved this particular award?.No i think Beyonce should have definently got it this year.



    34. 34

      Re: blahblah12 – Hey girl. Happy Holidays. Glad you are back. I'm always missing you. Just a shout out to you. MUAH!



    35. 35

      ughhh, not her AGAIN. she should be thanking kanye west.



    36. 36

      WHAT A FUCKIN JOKE!!!!!!!!!!! I guess this is a slam to Kayne West, however a real insult to some of the other true artists. Be real, this girl is nothing compared to the queen Beyonce.



    37. 37

      Taylor Swift owes a big thank you to Kanye West. She would not be winning all these awards if it weren't for him.



    38. 38

      She is too cute, and a good role model for the kiddies, as well! Congrats, T!!!!



    39. 39

      BEYONCE OWNS THIS TITLE THIS YEAR SORRY !!! TAYLOR SWIFT IS HARDLY AN ENTERTAINER! THE ONLY THING SHES GOOD AT IS WRITING MUSIC, SHE CAN'T SING FOR SHYT & LIVE SHE SOUNDS LIKE A PERCOCIOUS SQUEALING KID ! I DON'T GET ALL THE HYPE ABOUT HER ! THE INDUSTRY HAS REALLY HYPED HER UP ! BUT SHE ISN'T IMPRESSIVE AT ALL !

      Re: DjTayTay – Remember Michael Jackson is about all we can do because all he did was rehearse for some concerts (put together as a film posthumously) and DIE of a drug overdose. Taylor #1 genre crossing album of the year.



    41. 41

      WHAT THE FUCK! She barely was in the decade! Even Beyonce or Britney is a better candidate! This shit is fucked up. Unless the associated press is run by a bunch of tween white girls this shit is dumb.



    42. 42

      i bet shes just entertainer of the year because ever since kanye dissed her everyone felt sorry for her. ya it was fucked up but come on some ppl over did it….i work with kids and the only ppl that new about her were my 5th graders lol



    43. 43

      omg im sooooooooo over these SYMPATHY awards this girls is getting. there only setting her up for failure if you think her succes wll be like this next year pshhh they got another thing coming, i can think of so many more hard working ACTUALLY talented artist that should have gotten this title i mean come on she is annoying as shit she cant sing on tune to save her life,she is 20 and still acts like an awkward highschool boy crazed girl and her lyrics sound like someting my 8 year old cousin writes in her english class. get the fuck out of here i aint hatin and i know what kanye did was wrong but this shit has got stop its so unfair to all these other artist that worked hard and can really geez idk SING

      also as you can see all these UNDESERVED awards she is getting is starting to really annoy the shit out of people like i said there setting her up for failure her succes was to fast and massive chances are it will only go down hill from now



    44. 44

      Oh puhleaze……. the woman can't sing……. overrated.

      I have to switch radio stations whenever they play one of her songs.



    45. 45

      I love Taylor and think she's amazing (and she has a super hot boyfriend) but she is just starting to sing good live and I'm getting really annoyed of her winning everything!! She's not the Entertainer Of The Year….she's not even that entertaining to watch perform….she's a good but she has a LONG way to go!!!!



    46. 46

      Re: VeronicaVolta – Isn't that alittle racist??



    47. 47

      Re: StrawberryBlondexoxo – No one is asking for her to be an amazing vocalist…just entertaining!! Her voice is average and people in my school talent show have been better than her. I have a friend that could out sing her!!! And I've heard alot of artist that sing AMAZING live!!!!



    48. 48

      Not again! Stop the pity party already!!!!



    49. 49

      Re: DjTayTay – Exactly….hello, Michael Jackson was alive this year and if you saw THIS IS IT you'd see that he more than entertained the MILLIONS of people that went and saw it. How many artist could have REHEARSAL footage made into a full length movie and it actually be better than the finalized concerts that artist out there put on today?? NO ONE!!!! Michael was magic and he should've won, just like at the AMAs



    50. 50

      Re: blahblah12 – I love all these people with REAL music taste. Beyonce or Lady GaGa should have beat her and Michael Jackson is #1 of all time.



    51. 51

      WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    52. 52

      if i hear her name one more time , i will puke. SHE CANT SING PEOPLE



    53. 53

      Congrats girl!!I love her so much!!!



    54. 54

      Stop talkin' about Kanye West,Taylor was year's best seller before the vma's incident!!!



    55. 55

      Taylor sold more cds last year than anyone, before Kanye. Taylors shows were selling out in one or two minutes, before Kanye. Taylors SNL was one of the beat in a long time. Cant wait for the Grammys.



    56. 56

      Re: Isabel5Justice

      Eat shit.



    57. 57

      I love that all these haters can't understand why she won entertainer of the year.
      I guess you could say Beyonce if she could write a single song….which she can't. Yes single ladies was catchy BUT the only reason the video was a hot was because of SNL.

      Taylor just writes all of the songs on her albums
      (which are #1s), plays a multitude of instruments and sells out venues world wide. She doesn't pretend to be a good dancer….like some artist she embraces her style at the ripe old age of 20!

      So haters hate…..she will laugh all the way to the Grammy's stage!



    58. 58

      Oh and really you can't OD half way through the year and only get famous again because of it and sell albums because of it and be called entertainer of the year

      No disrespect to MJ he is the Entertainer of all time, but just not this year….sorry guys

      Lady gaga a close second but Taylor is the winner so suck it!



    59. 59

      Re: MileyCyrusLooksLikeAChipmunk
      not singer of the year, entertainer



    60. 60

      She's not entertaining to me. Maybe I have to be 14 yrs old to appreciate her?



    61. 61

      Yummy!!



    62. 62

      So I guess those corny ass country songs made her entertainer of the year eh? Bullshit.



    63. 63

      She wouldn't be shit if Kanye West didn't interrupt her "acceptance speech"



    64. 64

      Re: Poindexter-X – Laughter. Since it's all you serve up based on how you comment on this blog, better you eat it since you're used to it. Beso to you. So hard to be clean obviously:).



    65. 65

      A sarcastic letter to Kanye.

      Thank you for making this talentless, annoying twit RELEVANT. Now America will continue to swipe their sympathy cards to purchase this moron's CD. I'm sure this airhead is laughing all the way to the bank w/o sending Kanye a 'thank u' check! Entertainer? Coked-out Britney delivers a better show! Are you kidding me? Who cares if Beowulf does not writer her songs….at least she puts on a better show.



    66. 66

      Re: Isabel5Justice

      I will agree with Poindexter. Eat sh&t. Kanye has already made this 'NOBODY' relevant. We do not need anyone else to 'cosign' on it!



    67. 67

      why?



    68. 68

      Kanye made her famous! LOL



    69. 69

      Re: TaurusWarrior – I am still laughing:). What's this "we shit"??? All pun intended. You enjoy your meal. Yes, I know, standard is too rough for those accustomed to the dog meal. Kanye is a punk and his actions prove it. Talent has made Taylor. It is a fact. The point is the way you speak and your beliefs make you who you are. THIS is why I am laughing. Happy Holidays to you:).



    70. 70

      man…Every artist should have Kanye interrupt them so they can win pity prizes…



    71. 71

      Get it girl!!!!



    72. 72

      I really feel like vomiting at the sound of taylor swifts name. The girl cant sing. She talks with rhythm. Her only fan base, are little girls who dont know any better. entaertainer of the year my ass.



    73. 73

      Re: melbee! – HELLO!! ITS NOT ABOUT WRITING SONGS ITS ABOUT BEING ENTERTAINIG!! TAYLOR SWFT CANT SING WORTH SHIT AND SHE CANT EVEN DANCE. WTF!! SHE MAY BE A ALRIGHT LYRICSIST BUT SHE IS A SHIT ENTERTAINER AND BEYONCE, LADY GAGA AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS 10 TIMES BETTER THEN SHE WILL EVER BE!!!



    74. 74

      I'm not a big Lady Gaga fan, but Gaga should've been named Entertainer of the Year. She's entertaining.
      If all you have to do is get Kanye to interrupt you on stage and get awards, hell, where's Kanye? I want some awards xD



    75. 75

      Re: ap076 – Hahahaha numbers don't mean anything when it comes to talent and what the word entertainment actually means. She may have won the hearts of all 8-16 year olds, but that means nothing if you can't sing or dance live for the life of you. I think its a damn shame.
      Lady Gaga or Beyonce should have won.
      and yes, Michael Jackson will always be the best entertainer of all time T.swift can't touch him.

      P.S. She's ruining my name!!!!!



    76. 76

      NO ONE WILL REMEMBER HER IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!



    77. 77

      Taylor Swift is the best! She def deserves this she's had an amazing year! All of her songs she writes are invredible and her singing's great too she has such a unique voice!!



    78. 78

      she does deserve this ! she has sold more albums than anyone else this year ! people who say she cant sing you havent heard her sing live ! She doing her job to entertain you and she doing that jod very good on and off the stage without getting drunk in clubs .GO TAYLOR you desirve this !
