Kanye West Booed Onstage at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee

Posted on 16 June 2008 by Jessca

Kanye West

Kanye West, scheduled to perform at Tennessee Music & Arts Outdoor Festival, Bonnaroo, on June 15th at 2:45am, was met by angry fans when he took the stage two hours later than promised. Meaning his set began at nearly 4:45 in the morning!

While they were waiting for him to appear onstage, fans chanted “Kanye sucks” and threw various objects onto the stage in protest. When he finally opened the set with one of his most popular songs, “Good Morning”, Kanye was immediately booed for his late appearance. He continued to perform into dawn; as a result, concert-goers started to filter out, some even fell asleep while he performed.

His extremely late arrival onstage is blamed on an unnecessarily elaborate stage set, which apparently took hours longer than expected to set up. Other reports state that Pearl Jam played a bit longer than scheduled, resulting in Kanye’s late arrival.

Is an elaborate set really worth the wait, or was Kanye disrespecting his fans in favor of performing on a glitzy set? Do you blame these fans, or do you think they were justified in their harsh treatment of Kanye?

Kanye’s Glow in the Dark Tour

Posted on 22 April 2008 by xXxTerra

Kanye West Glow in the Dark Tour

The show that has been touted as the “most revolutionary stage experience of the past two decades” and has become the hottest ticket in town has finally arrived.

Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark tour featuring Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D., invaded the LA Live Nokia Center on April 21st with a completely sold-out crowd. Among celeb fans in attendance included Jaime Foxx, Pete Wentz, newly-pregnant Ashley Simpson, and Gwen Stefani.

The concert offers more than just a performance of songs, but instead, creates a storyline with the music. Think: hip-hopera… in space!

Confused? Here’s the jist…

Kanye is sent on a mission to space to bring creativity back to Earth. He’s been gone for over a year. All of the crew on his ship are dead, leaving Jane, the on-board computer system, as Kanye’s only companion.

His ship crashes on an unknown planet. As Kanye begins to explore the unfamiliar surroundings, he is greeted by a female alien. Um, do alien’s have sexes? Anyway…

Kanye asks, “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course we know who you are. You are the biggest star in the Universe!,” replies the femalien.

Wow, biggest star in the Universe? Must be difficult for you to play this part, huh Kanye?

The Glow in the Dark tour follows a tough emotional journey of the singer. Kanye’s mother and main inspiration, Donda West, passed away late last year. A tragedy that would have paralyzed many, provided Kanye the inspiration he needed to produce, arguably, the best work of his career.

The show is pure candy for the eyes. Many screens, big and small, showed scenes of whirling galaxies and cataclysmic weather. In collaboration with elaborate lighting, special pyrotechnics and interactive stage pieces, the show elevated from mere concert to grand entertainment spectacle.

Kanye uses his lyrics to narrate the adventure. As his ship is hit by meteor debris, causing it to begin losing altitude, West begins singing the hit “All Falls Down.” After being away from Earth and stranded out in space for so long, he pleads for someone to help him. “Jesus Walks,” representing his faith, provides him the energy to keep going.

Kanye West

While the show is a feast for the eyes, the most memorable period of the night comes when the lights go off. Kanye gave a heart-breakingly emotional performance of “Hey Mama.” The crowd was swept over with silence and tears. Kanye, at his most vulnerable, finds it hard to get through the song. It is at this moment, fans watch a teary-eyed Kanye stop being the heroic astronaut and “arrogant asshole” he is made out to be and come back down to Earth.

Kanye West Graduation

Glow in the Dark is an emotional rollercoaster and an musical experience unlike any other. Kanye West has once again outdone himself. It’s a must see.

Unfortunately, the remaining dates of the concert are sold-out, but you can always try your luck with scalpers and eBay.

Kanye West and fiance Alexis Phifer split

Posted on 22 April 2008 by tammy

Kanye West and fiance Alexis Phifer break-up

After the couple’s year and a half long engagement, Kanye West and Alexis Phifer have decided to call it quits. Although their relationship is over, Phifer claims that the two are still good friends.

“It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer tells People. “I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.” Although Phifer is making light of their breakup, a friend claims that the two were having major problems in their realtionship that couldn’t be worked out.

“They’d been having problems,” a pal of West’s says. “Kanye is really focused on his show; he’s putting everything into the show right now. Alexis is a nice girl, but Kanye has been going through a rough time. They hit a rough patch and for now they’ve split.”

According to the friend, Phifer and West, both 30, had been spending less time together in the last few weeks as the Grammy-winning star prepared for his nationwide “Glow in the Dark” tour. “I haven’t seen [Alexis] around at all the last few times I’ve seen him recently,” the friend added.

Poor girl. I bet Kanye is a pain in the butt to deal with. She definitely needs a break.
