-The New York Times described Swift as "one of pop's finest songwriters, country’s foremost pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults".

2. As far as calling her a "White b****", you must have some facts to back this up, but I am sure you do not. Here are some things she has done to help other:
-On September 21, 2007, Swift launched a campaign to protect children from online predators.
-She has teamed up with Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen to combat internet sex crimes.
-In early 2008, Swift donated the pink Chevy pick-up truck given to her by her record label to children’s charity
-in June, 2008, Swift donated all the proceeds she got from her merchandise sales at the 2008 Country Music Festival to Red Cross (the Nashville Area Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and the National American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.)
-Swift donated $10,000, funded by CMT ONE COUNTRY, to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
-She donated $5,000. funded by CMT, to American Red Cross
-Swift donated $100,000 to the Red Cross in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to help the victims of the Iowa flood of 2008.
Swift has teamed up with Sound Matters to make listeners aware of listening "responsibly".[94] Swift supports @15, a teen-led social change platform underwritten by Best Buy to give teens opportunities to direct the company's philanthropy through the newly-created @15 Fund. Swift's song, "Fifteen", is featured in this campaign.
Swift has lent her support to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal by joining the lineup at Sydney's Sound Relief concert, reportedly making the biggest contribution of any artist playing at Sound Relief to the Australian Red Cross.
-Swift donated her prom dress, which raised $1,200 for charity, to DonateMyDress dot org

Sounds like she is a kind hearted young lady that can be a good example to other young ladies in the USA. If you want to call her names, please back it up.

It sounds like you maybe racist, "Beyonce of the white bitch up there", that is up for you to judge yourself.

This thread is about how much of a douche Kanye is.

Like someone else said, I think most of the live performances this year were pretty damn good. Pink and Green Day were runners up as the best last night IMO (behind Muse). My respect for Pink just keeps growing, with her comments about douchebag Kanye. Would have LOVED to have seen him try to pull that shit on her had she won. He also would never do that to a man, because he's a huge pussy. Can't wait to hear what Chelsea Hanlder has to say about all of this on her show. She hates him with a passion.

i want live performances to wow me with the live vocals doing something a little unique as every other performer last night did with the same ole' songs.

they were just so so in that performance. perhaps other live performances they truly rock and perhaps you really like the band which may skew your enjoyment as well, but not so much to me last night. a little boring too.

i talked about vocals and being unique in vocals and not sounding like the same song i hear on the radio. vocals. the other performers busted it from the gut with the vocals.

even if you don't like Green Day or P!nk or GaGa i defy you to tell me their vocal performances were the ones you hear every other hour on Z-100 or something. and P!nk busted it while suspended 20 feet or so in the air. you heard her live and breathy and all that. you certainly don't hear huffing and puffing on XM.

That's what you get for defying me!
