On what grounds? Because he's an obnoxious, arrogant SOB?
I'm not a huge fan of Kanye, but I fail to see how his arrogance is any worse than a multitude of other rock, rap and pop stars of the past.Quote

This is a joke, right?

In fact, being arrogant is part and parcel of musical stardom, going back to Frank Sinatra. Kanye has never even broken the law or been arrested.
Again: I think he acts like a jackass, but he's certainly talented and popular enough to headline a music festival.

People buy tickets to Glasto without knowing who's playing so it's a gamble. The petition will never be taken seriously because anyone can sign. I don't care for him but he'll probably do quite well with the younger audience members.

Exactly.
It's hilarious isn't it?
Imagine a musical artist being arrogant? Obnoxious? Irreverent toward other artists? It's a fine punk tradition. And what about the Stones, especially Mick.. they turned that into an art form. And Sinatra!
He sneered at people in his wake.
It's fine to not like his music or personality - I get that.
But do music fans realize how absurd they seem when they clutch their pearls in horror at someone's cockiness?
Unbelievable.

They just don't exude cool, so you can't take them seriously.

You've all made my day!
The thought of Kim Kardashian anywhere near Glastonbury makes me ill.
There are rockstars who have beaten women and gone to jail multiple times for god knows what, and still haven't had the same level of vitriol heaped upon them as Kanye has.Quote

For all the arrogence that a Rockstar has, I have never seen one jump out of their seat at a award show, run up to the stage, grab the award out of a winners hand, and with all seriousness say it belongs to someone else...

Only the second part of that statement can be verified for certain.

KanyeWest is a show-off and a jerk. Not because of the Beck incident (seriously, who cares about what happens at the Grammy Awards?) but because he is obsessed with fame and money like most of rock stars/famous rappers/conductors/divas.... However he is excellent at what he does: hip-hop. That is not an excuse for his jerk behaviour but most of people who think his music is terrible hate rap music so much that you can't argue with them.
