Why, Kanye, Why?!

Ok, Status Quo, to be expected. Sailin' Rod Stewart, granted. Elton John, naturally. Tom Jones, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nelly Furtado, I couldn't care less.

What happened? My only explanation was, he must've been getting shitloads of money, but no--all the money went to some charity! So what the fuck?! He wasn't even singing his own lyrics!

Well. I liked him better when he was in his "George Bush doesn't care about black people" phase, is all I'm saying.
