Oh my where do I start.
Do you know how much security is at these places? Can you imagine one guy jumping up on stage blowing himslef up and taking out 200 celebrities on LIVE television! Can you imagine what would happen? You don't think they've thought of everything - backup dancer, guy dressing up as celeb, someone stealing security shirt, hot female, guy wearing headset and walkie-talkie, etc. You don't think they've gone through every scenario?
Before you head to the stage, you go through TWO layers of security. And you have to be ESCORTED by the production manager. If not - they stop you. Around the stage is security and cops ready to tackle anyone jumping up. ANYONE. ZERO TOLERANCE.
And did you notice how the cameras were COINCIDENTALLY aligned perfectly on kanye's head and beyonce's face as soon as he got on? Did it not occur to you that if it was real, the master control and camermen would freakout and pan around the cameras real fast and miss most of the action? Don't you think the sound guy would just hti the 'mute' button as soon as kanye got the mic (which they are ready just in caes someone starts swearing).
And don't u think someone would've tackled him during his long ass walk to the front from the side?
No. THese are STAGED publicity stunts from the kind of fake reality shows MTV. What happens is, 1 hour before the telecast the 1) producer 2) cameraman 2) broadcast producer 3) parties involved (taylor, kanye) are notified about the stunt. Eveyr year there is a different stunt (last year was eminem remember?). They do it cuz it's 1) expected 2) RATINGS.
95% of the shit you see out there is planned. But everyone in Hollywood knows americans are retards and will fall for anyting. Oh and one last thing: as soon as he said 'beyonces video was better' - the guy in the master control immediately knew to pan to her face within 1.5 seconds without waiting for a cue from the producer. Switchers follow a script, they don't just decide for themselves what to show america - unless they're told beforehand. I've worked on 2 award shows in engineering and i could talk about these thigns for hours.
So ... connect the dots. As for Kanye - he knows people will forget within 2 weeks. I bet you his mp3 downloads go up 30% this week.
btw: YouTube - Kanye West's VMA Outburst for Beyonce Notice how within 2 seconds camera is already perfectly positioned as a 'two-shot'! Wow they got some badass cameramen who can move 120lb long telephoto lens cameras that fast into perfect position!!! These cameramen should win awards or something! hahaha
