Robbie Daw | October 8, 2010 5:30 pm

The past seven days saw Kanye West return to Saturday Night Live, Katy Perry hit a few sour notes on German TV, Taylor Swift release the title track from her upcoming album and one blog call for the media at large to stop using Train’s ever-present “Hey, Soul Sister” in commercials. And how did our readers respond to all this pop drama? Read below! :: Mr. Miller wanted to “runaway” after seeing Kanye West On SNL: Was It “Akwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard” For You?: “Hell to the NO… what was SNL thinking… It’s ok to be an out-of-control, substance abusing, foaming-at-the-mouth ass simply because you can recite poetry to drumbeats? Think of all the things the little people could get away with if they knew all they had to do was just lay low for a few months and then have a publicist put forth an ‘apology’. This was sick and stupid…. I changed the channel as soon as I heard his name.”

Kanye West SNL
:: Rits begged to differ, and informed the world that Yeezy is, in fact, a woman: “SHUT UP! KANYE IS THE BEST ARTIST IN THE WORLD. SHE MADE GREATS PERFORMANCES (VISUALS) I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHO CAN ANYBODY DON’T LIKE IT! REALLY… I CAN’T UNDERSTAND!”

:: Ella let out a teenage scream on Katy Perry On Wetten, Dass…?: At Least She Was Singing Live: “‘A little pitchy’ is far too kind. What a trainwreck – at least Britney knows she can’t sing well live and mimes, I’d prefer that to this. God, does she have anything to offer other than ‘OKAY ANYWAY MY BOOBS LOOK AT MY BOOBS AREN’T THEY GREAT?’”

Taylor Swift
:: AJ opted to plug their ears rather than Hear Taylor Swift Steal Someone Else’s Man (Again) On New Track “Speak Now”: “Taylor Swift is just terrible. As A trained singer, I think…no I know she is terrible. Horrible!! Waste of musical space. There is only one thing she’s worse at than singing….and that is acting! She is just horrible. And every song is that same ol same”

:: Freshied thought Blog Demands No More “Hey, Soul Sister” In Commercials wasn’t taking things far enough: “I would say YES to removing that song from any commercials, along with that Samsung commercial song, and that ‘falling for you’ commercial, and ALL BLACKBERRY COMMERCIALS WITH BEATLE SONGS!!!!! I love the beatles, you can keep your Train. Saw them at Mile High Music Fest and must say they are as inspiring and creative as a saltine cracker. Really they suck.”

:: Vertigoshtick seemed to find a bit of hypocrisy in Rihanna Calls Katy Perry’s Music Generic, Then Says She’d Love To Duet With Her: “Dear Pot, meet Kettle!”

:: COMMENT OF THE WEEK — Finally, LMG brought the best zinger on the Taylor Swift “Speak Now” post: “The song is cute and I am sure will sell well. I am just happy that I will never have to hear her actually sing it…my cat does better than she does and she is dead.”
