Kanye West, Lady Gaga Tour Canceled

Kanye West won't get to show us his 'Poker Face.'

West's North American tour with Lady Gaga has been canceled, the concert promoter Live Nation confirmed, EOnline.com reports.

Although reps for West and Gaga have not commented, sources believe the 'Paparazzi' singer wanted out after West's actions at the VMAs, even though she showed support for her now ex-tourmate just a few days ago.

"I think it's unfair to judge somebody on one mistake they've made. I felt like that moment kind of like really portrayed him in a way that he really isn't. It was just a random moment. I think that everyone can get so caught up in gossip and stuff," she told a Las Vegas radio station on Tuesday.

During the VMAs, Kanye jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift after the country cutie had beaten Beyonce for best female video, prompting the 'Heartless' singer to proclaim that 'Single Ladies' was "one of the best videos of all time."

He later apologized several times to Swift, who has since forgiven him for his antics.

LMAO AT ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE HATING ON HIM

By Old Man

Being ancient (45) has no bearing on my ability to recognize crap when I hear it, and that's what rap is - crap. I actually play an instrument, so I'd say I'm at least as qualified to comment on crap passed off as music as someone who maybe can play a CD. It takes zero talent to "sample" someone else's riffs or program a drum machine and then run your mouth over the loops. Can one of you young musical geniuses, like smrtfo0l, explain the difference between "sampling" and ripping off someone else's music? No, wait, you grew up using the Internet to rip off entire albums, so I'm guessing you'd consider "sampling" a riff an homage to the original artist. Kayne West is a no-talent celebrity whose jack-ass antics have finally worn too thin to be marketable.

amen, old man!! I'm 43, have played piano since I was 5 and know real musical talent when I hear it. Kanye is to music what a tidal wave is to the beach front: devastating!

By Reena

I guess I'm an old lady 'cause I agree with you 100%! Music today isn't music. I believe the true test of talent is a live show - and anyone that says they enjoy a rap concert is lying!! I can't stand when they "borrow" (let's face it, steal) from true artists...I heard one the other day with The Doors music in the background...I bet Jim Morrison is rolling in his grave!!! pathetic no talent theives -that's what rappers are!!

Anyone who believes that Kanye West is a musical genious: I have a lovely red bridge in San Francisco that I'll sell you really cheap.
Musical genious? God help anyone that thinks this guy is anything other than a joke. Kanye sounds like a dying rat that the cat drug into the house. Kind of looks like one too.

Kanye's chickens are coming home to roost. Nothing like a little karmic power to show such a self-centered punk where he fits in the universe.

I can't stand his hollering. It ain't music. He sounds like a dying calf in a hail storm.

West is a gigantic POS! I would like to see everyone in America apply the same amount of ridicule to West for "quitting" that they did to Palin when she gave in to criticism.

By Grand National

Yes, he HAD to cancel...he got a phone call from Beyonce that she's pregnant with his child. One of many. Well, what goes around comes around.

By IbBack

Taylor Swift is cool. Kunta Kanye is not. Go away Kunta Kanye, go far away.

By Brenda

Get over it. Taylor did and it happened to her. He goofed,and we all know it, but it is past. Maybe they will get together and do a song about it.

By skippymcgee

christina,

If you're going to criticize a persons grammer,please use proper grammer to do so! Punctuation,not puncation is the correct spelling.And punctuation and spelling are horrible not is horrible.His punctuation IS horrible.His spelling IS horrible.Both together ARE horrible.

By Josh

Maybe Kanye should now go on the David Letterman Show. Really now, Lady GaGa is saying that she shouldn't judge someone based on one mistake. Did she forget about Hurricane Katrina? Ohh I'm sure there were others. I wouldn't tour with someone that likes fishsticks.

By Cooltunes

Check out Chandler Hurd's EP "Little Bird" on iTunes! I just got it and think it's awesome. you will love it!!!!

Hey Jack, why don't you get you boyfriends penis out of your rumphole and go slap your mother for giving birth to you.

By Jack

Thorrgod, I am busy right now taking care of your mom while your dad watches.

He doesn't sound like a dying calf in a hail storm, more like a someone taking a dump a few hours after a jalepeno eating contest.

Kunta Kanye....I love it!

West is a mental case!
