Kanye West Worst Nightmare

                                                   The Power of Networking Sites
     

       Ever imagine how powerful Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and other social networking sites can fully ruin someones name and reputation, as well self-esteem? Immeasurable! With the countless number of online users, and undefinable democracy in just posting anything on the net; anybody can just make or break a person. Example: ever wonder how Charice Pempengco became famous? She didn't audition for Hollywood guys, she was discovered through the most popular free video uploading site "you tube". A fanatic uploaded her video in which she locally joined in the Philippine television.. And boom! People around the world loved the 16-year-old Clhrice. As well as more names became famous over the net, there's Venetian Princess, Justin Beiber, and among others.

         On the contrary, there are those who's life became miserable because of these online stuff. Social network site "twitter" caused pain and humiliation to Hip-hop star Kanye West after jumping on stage, grabbing the microphone from Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards last year and saying her trophy should have gone to Beyonce. After that, he was bombarded with too much hate messages and criticism over the Twitter.

      The unacceptable behavior during the MTV awards, caused the artist's career's downfall. Kanye West described hte feeling as "enourmous pain", in other words, may have caused depression to him. A lot of career opportunities have closed for him as well.

     Kanye West known as  multiplatinum artist, and a Grammy-winning superstar had once been well-loved and became best at his generation, despite sometimes boorish behavior and meltdowns at other awards shows when things did not go his way. However, when he upstaged Swift — the then-teenage darling of pop and country music worlds _the public had had enough. There was tremendous backlash against West — even President Barack Obama was caught calling him a "jackass." (quoted from http://new.music.yahoo.com/kanye-west/news/kanye-west-i-bled-hard-over-swift-debacle--61988565)

              When he guested at Jay Leno's prime-time show, Mr. West  apologized and said he still had not recovered from his mother's death two years prior. He said he would be taking time off from the public eye.

                After the incident on MTV awards, Kanye West canceled a joint tour with Lady Gaga (who is now a bankable, famous, top-charting singer) , apparently due to low ticket sales. 

       On Kanye West's Twitter account, he posts about the backlash. Saying: "I'm the guy who at one point could perform the Justin Timberlake on stage and everyone would be sooo happy that I was there..". Another posts says: "People tweeted that they wish I was dead ... No listen. They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that." West said he's now "ready to get out of my own way. The ego is overdone." 

         Of course, Mr. West apologized to Swift. He even wrote a song for Taylor Swift, hoping that she may perform his composition. But he also added: "If she won't take it then I will perform it for her..." . 
  
         West is working on a new album this fall, and hoping he may recover from the backlash.  

          Kanye West is a new member of Twitter, and had been active user then. He is posting not only his feelings, but new songs and other updates.  And believably, he has over 900,000 followers since he joined earlier this summer. He said that he loved Twitter  but added saying :" ... I've always been at the mercy of the press but no more ... The media tried to demonize me," he tweeted Saturday.
