Kanye gets emotional with Jay Leno

KANYE GETS EMOTIONAL WITH JAY LENO
Leno Brings Kanye West to Tears in TV interview
Hands down, the number one water cooler conversation of the week has been Kanye's most recent awards show outburst on MTV this past Sunday (Oprah probably thought she had it locked with her Whitney Houston interview yesterday...too bad). For those who have been in an isolation booth for the past 48 hours or just got off that island from LOST,
Taylor Swift
was in the middle of her acceptance speech for a VMA when Kanye took the microphone from her to state that she didn't deserve the accolade and that
Beyonce
had made "one of the best videos of all time". Now I am in agreement that Beyonce should have won for "Single Ladies" because it was a pop culture phenomenon and showed that less is more in it's minimalist approach as a performance piece. Regardless, Kanye went too far by squashing an important moment in a young performers life.
Last night on the debut of
Jay Leno's
new prime time talk show he featured Jerry Seinfeld and a performance by
Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Mr. West
. Leno's producers proposed to Kanye's people that he take the opportunity to make a formal appology and to discuss his feelings about the debacle. Kanye is a prima donna but his sense of shame shined through on camera. The crowning moment is when Leno had to bring Kanye's deceased mother into the discussion by asking if she would have felt ashamed of his actions. This nearly brought Kanye to TEARS!
Kanye thrives on gossip and blog talk whether good or bad (South Park didn't even put a dent in his armor with the "Gay Fish" episode) but I have a feeling we might see a kinder less "Heartless" Mr. West as a result of this weeks backlash. Check out the Jay Leno footage below.
