Wait just one dog-gone minute!

@joyannj - I think the header of this question is all wrong.
You can't have an apology when the words are not spoken. He never once uttered the word 'apologize' or 'sorry' in his short stuttering ramble.

What I did hear was 'my hurt', 'I'm a celebrity' and a couple more 'I, me and wants'.

Maybe you should have posted this question with a new header:
"WTF was Kanye West talking about on the Leno Show last night?"

I agree with you... it's not even called an 'apology'. Even the one posted on his blog isn't an apology for me. I've never seen anyone writing his/her sorry message in ALL CAPS.

I honestly believe that it was not sincere. I think he was trying to drum up publicity for his appearance on the Jay Leno show! How convenient for him to go on a "break" after this!

My crystal ball is starting to become less cloudy:

http://www.mahalo.com/answers/entertainment/what-do-you-think-about-kanye-disses-taylor-swift-kanye-wests-outburst-at-the-vmas#a0e93f02ea5252297a61d30496699f394af6af9a7762ddb38d1b5dca5d81a5934

Near the end of his apology, he said "I would like to help Taylor in the future".

Publicity.

He's acting regretful and bothered that he caused Swift any harm. He now has something interesting to talk about on Jay Leno's new show that is starting to go viral today.

Viva la marketing machine!!!!!

Yea, it's just one of his marketing strategy / publicity stunt. Too obvious. I just hope people wouldn't buy this too much used strategy.

His apology was an incredibly sincere apology from someone who is just realizing that his record sales are about to sincerely dip.

Someone from the record company has given him a sincere talking to about how he'll be out of a job if he doesn't try and rescue his image...l.

Nope. Kanye has made it clear time and time again that he could care less what we "underlings" think. We are beneath him and he is merely trying to keep the cash rolling in. Sadly enough, there will be some people who will buy it.

I personally believe that Kanye is not sincere because if he was then he could have apologized to Taylor personally. And you don't apologize in twitter! And i agree about the ALL CAPS thing, using ALL CAPS means you're mad or something. And you can clearly see in his face that he doesn't really want to apologize.

I really thought it was. He seemed visibly upset and almost cried when Leno asked about what his mother would think. I believe he actually felt bad when he realized that he had hurt a young woman.
One thing strikes me kind of odd though. Taylor was on the View today and when asked if he apologized to her directly she said "no". If he was that upset, wouldn't he have the decency to speak directly to her? (sorry to answer your question with a question!)
I guess he is embarrassed by what he did and just can't talk to her yet. He should be! What a dumb insensitive thing to do!

I don't believe for a second that his apology was sincere. I think he was advised to go on Jay Leno's new show and say the things that he said in order to do a little damage control. He looked like a devious little kid caught doing something he knew he shouldn't have been doing in the first place and saying what he thought people wanted to hear to make it all go away. He wasn't even making eye contact! His appearance on Leno will probably prove to be pointless though after President Obama's thoughts on the subject were leaked.

Let' s face it: all that is a buzz!
Nobody think that you can go on stage during a MTV award, just like that, to say whatever you want.
Yeap MTV needed a buzz, West wanted a buzz ; Taylor Swift is one of the collateral damage. That' s it.
Nobody think that you can go on stage just like that, to say whatever you want.

So no, the apologize are not sincere.

His apology did not seem sincere to me. It seemed contrived. Down to the tears and mention of his mother.

Did anyone ever consider maybe his blood sugar was low b/c he didn't have his daily dose of fishsticks?
