unfortunately, through mediocre music (at best), expensive trend setting fashion, and an arrogant bigger than life attitude, kanye west has reached the status where he can now experiment and do just about anything and people already have it programmed that they will like it.
i happened to watch his performance and its was just lame and boring. the music was nothing at all special. he does not have a good live voice. and he was dancing and acting like he was playing some epic profound song that was gonna make people cry or something. and if i remember right, the song was about some girl hurting his feelings....same shit nsync or aaron carter would sing about.
