Carey’s rambling acceptance speech was viewed by over a million YouTube voyeurs and prompted the drunken diva to admit that she had a few to many “splashes of champagne.” However, aside from some late night jokes at her expense, the damage is nowhere close to the career wreckage she caused with “Glitter.”

It takes a brave soul to stand drunk in front the eyes of a dozen camera lenses and a million YouTube loners. And musicians are a brave bunch. They’re not afraid to show up hammered for their close-up. You gotta respect that on some depraved level.

Here are some of my favorite pubic displays of musician drunkenness. See you at the bar. I’ll be having the O’Doul’s. I don’t want any videos showing up online.

Kanye West
It’s all been said, hasn’t it? What more can anyone add to the Kanye legacy. Oh,wait a minute. Kanye can. Especially when he’s drunk. No one love Kanye more than Kanye when he’s had a few too many.
