All Hail Ye To Emperor Gay Fish!
Looking like he just crawled out of an Oster blender filled with a mixture of Mr. T, Eddie Murphy circa Delirious, and a Burger King paper crown, Kanye West landed on the SNL stage last night to perform "Power" and "Runaway" while surrounded by the National Ballet of Gay Fish. Yes, Kanye West in a white room that isn't padded...imagine that!
But seriously, from the spray painted Fisher Price electro xyolophone to his "playing an imaginary game of Dance Dance Revolution" moves, Kanye West didn't miss a beat and he had me.
I have a feeling that this is exactly what it looks when Gay Fish makes a bowel movement. Toilet paper made from the finest silk is laid out, the dancers take their places, Kanye West enters the porcelain room and as he starts to push out raw emotion, we all hit the ground.

Can pop music ever be content with being just that...pop music?
The entire genre takes itself way too seriously.

Nothing quite matches self righteousness for the sake of not being self righteous.
I actually liked "Power"...it has a really catchy hook. Kanye's ego may be the size of Los Angeles, but I'll still listen to his stuff if he loses the Autotune and just sticks to rapping.

Promises of what I seemed to be

I fast forwarded through both of his songs. Thank you, DVR.

"BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE", will always be his crowning achievement.

ahaha, did i miss say the opposite of what's what day ?
This whole thing looked like a tampon commercial that wasn't supposed to air until 2050.
That piano thing was a rip off of Gaga. Hers was cooler though because she had the paino shaped like a guitar. Although hers did look weird when she started jamming out harder than was necessary.
Thanks for clearing that up... all day I thought I was having a drunken delirium about Kanye West last night! I've got to up the meds so I pass out before SNL comes on!

I watched this last night, which is odd because I haven't watched SNL in about 5 years, and let's just say...I was not expecting this. However, I am impressed his handlers were able to convince him to NOT walk on the girls like human stairs, 'cause I was totally expecting that.

If you have to put a crown on your own head yourself, that means nobody else thinks that it should be there.
That's pretty much what Napoleon did though.
Amazing choreography by those dancers, but why did they tolerate that annoying pretentious little man in the oyster coloured suit prancing around in the middle of them??

~ohhh but he does. He cares TOO MUCH about what people think and when someone even remotedly criticizes him, he can't take it. Just look at his twitter tweets or whatever they're called. When I think of someone who truly doesn't give a fuck I think of Frank Sinatra, or even Pink.

I liked his music before he did the 808's and Heartbreak. Once Heartless came out, and he started trying to be "edgy" by dating that Amber chick amongst other things, he started to get on my nerves. It's going to be an annoying-ass year with him, Katy Perry and Usher out with new albums. Oh and Beyonce is apparently getting ready to release another one. Fuck off, bitch! Give people a chance to miss you and take a four year break!
What? His mother was a sacrifice? Have you heard 808s and Heartbreaks? That would definitely change your opinion on that. I'm into a bit of conspiracy theory but I'm not buying that one.
This song/performance is pretty much the bomb.
I think the whole ego things is actually an act. It's a persona.
Love him or hate him I found it truly enjoyable! At least he uses some imagination while performing.

He totally ripped off the button press machine thingy from Lady Gaga's Brit Awards "Dance in the Dark" performance.
But, being a white chick from the suburbs, I love him.
Did people really find the whole South Park Gay Fish thing that funny? I can't stand Kanye, but I thought it was pretty lame. Or was there some inside joke to it that I'm missing? It's just that whenever I hear it referenced it takes my focus off what an asshole Kanye is and puts it on how unfunny that spoof was.
i dont play this dick hole crap on my shift
gonna crank some dire straits right now
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

I m not clicking. Out of fear i might enjoy it, and then my well-bred hate for Kanye is down the drain.
Life is so much better with my cultivated hate for this ass-clown.

I fixed dinner, i get bottom. I called it!!
Gosh I wish Chris Farley was still around because him in a tutu spoofing this would be AWESOME.

If anyone can give me an intelligent reason for liking Kanye's music, I'll fall out of my chair. Everyone is entitled to their own taste and I don't care if someone is a fan, what gets me is that some people are dumbed down enough to consider this shit "edgy art". The ballerinas are pretty...that doesn't make kanye talented.

THE FULL RELEASE LOOP
What the underlying loop inside all of this really is
1974 someone used satellite time and brain cephalics (same thing), to view me, in 19764
The sound of the BR
I hate that I love the background in Power. It's like admitting I like a Kanye song. Ugh.
sighhhhh.... i love kanye he doesnt give a fuck
What the fuck was that hot mess last night? I thought I was dreaming.
Fucking atrocious.
Bastardizing classic Crimson with this dog shit is unforgivable. Un•fucking•listenable.
Sad, sad days.
my gaydar is going off
Ugh, I couldn't even watch the whole thing for either clip. "Emperor" is right. As in "has no clothes on".
His only talent is convincing some uneducated fools that he has talent, or anything to say that is worth listening to.
He changed the verse where he says "Fuck SNL and the whole cast." I was hoping he'd keep it in there.
I thought he did a pretty good job. At least he made the effort to make it interesting, unlike every artist who has ever been on the show.
What makes me LOL is that they let Kanye do this all-white set and all they did for lame-ass off-key Katy Perry was put some pink FiberFill and pretend it was cotton candy. She must be pissed.
This kind of music is SO not my cup of tea, but I appreciated the performance and enjoyed it.
I seriously would love to sit down and talk with this man. On a psychological level, he is classical in that his big ego is hiding his self loathing and fear.

Twilight. A girl's choice between necrophilia and beastiality.
OK here is my conspiracy side, once again my freak side coming out... I really do believe the devil must exist by watching this hot mess. All the conspiracy stories about these "stars" selling their soul for fame & fortune is so true. Kanye's mother passes away, sad story but now I am starting to believe that yeah she was sacrifice, now I been reading about Jennifer Hudson & her family may have been a sacrifice. I hope none of it is true and it is just a bunch of crazy internet gossip but when I watch this foolery these crazy stories just make so much more sense. You may ask what brought on these thoughts??? The whole crowning "Nero" thing Kanye is doing just gives me the creeps . It is like some "initiation" rite played out for the public, along with his "virgin" pink wearing, ballerinas. So much innuendo
I thought Kayne was FANTASTIC last night on SNL. One of the most impressive performances by anyone that I've seen in a long, LONG time. Yes, he has a BIIIIIG ego but he can back it up with his talent.
If you have to put a crown on your own head yourself, that means nobody else thinks that it should be there.
I'm with Cathy on his performance..."ACK!"
LOVED IT as well. You can say what you want about his voice or whatevs but he killed that shit.
LOVED IT.
I actually caught myself feeling sorry for him. I've obviously been away from this place for too long and need MK to dick slap some sense back into me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to flay you with my rapier wit, but I'm afraid it's about as dull as fucking your mother.
Hated the song, not a fan of his but I have to appreciate the effort he put into his SNL performance. So many "artists" just show up, walk through the song IF they sign it at all and act like it is the BEST thing they have ever done.
Even if SNL is a paler imitation of what it once was, it is still iconic television show and I, for one, appreciate someone who recognizes that and acts accordingly.
He cant sing to save his life, he should write for others or produce, it's embarrassing to hear him. Has no one ever told him how bad he sounds?
I have to say I never thought I'd hear Kanye sampling King Crimson. That said, I wasn't feeling it.
Since when was Ross Gellar black?
That was horrible. I couldn't even make it through the whole thing; cringe inducing is an understatement.
Kanye West is an ugly bitch, who cannot sing, dance or dress himself without looking like a low functioning retard.
If he wants to learn something about performing then he should cast an eye over Alice Cooper's work and decapitate himself.
When his dancers are dancing in fountains of his blood, twirling through the entrails hanging from crows' beaks, then I will be interested.

mcnightmare, don't argue with ZiggyStardust. You will just get frustrated. Her mind doesn't work like the rest of ours.
Would be a better performance if his voice didn't suck so bad. Michael Jackson could wring out these melodramatic performances because his voice could match all the drama. But eh, I guess I'll take this one for now.
Kanye is a 30 something year old rapper with no kids. That is strange to me that he never had kids. Most rappers have 10 kids by the time they are 35. Or maybe he has secret kids somewhere.
;D

Im not gonna knock Kanye's talent i think he's a good producer and artist HOWEVER I dont get his obssession with ballerinas all of a sudden.

He went from "It seems we living the american dream, but the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem the prettiest people do the ugliest things for the road to riches and diamond rings"
TO
"Let's have a toast for the douchebags"
Music is a dying genre and it pains me to see it go out like this!
Emperor Nero. Yea sure okay.

It's so cute how he smiles when the audience first starts to cheer, then he bows his head and comes up with his serious face...probably not too cool to smile. :)
