this man speaks Paul Pierce. if that really was a genuine response by her, so be it. better than faking a smile as if she was really happy.
Congratulations to the 1st ever hot chick to win American Idol otherwise known as Carrie Underwood. Though I am a opponent of country music and don't follow her music career, I'm glad she won. I like her because she is hot. I voted for her back on Idol because she is hot.
Faith Hill Says Reaction Was a Joke NEW YORK - Faith Hill insists she's no Kanye West. The country music superstar says she was just joking when cameras showed her screaming "WHAT?" in apparent anger when she lost the female vocalist of the year award to newcomer Carrie Underwood at the Country Music Association Awards on Monday night in Nashville. "The idea that I would act disrespectful towards a fellow musician is unimaginable to me," Hill said in a statement. "For this to become a focus of attention given the talent gathered is utterly ridiculous. Carrie is a talented and deserving Female Vocalist of The Year." Media outlets and blogs zeroed in on Hill's reaction after Underwood's name was announced at the ceremony. While other nominees — Sara Evans, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride — gave the typical gracious loser smile, Hill, who was standing backstage, turned to the camera and shouted "WHAT?" Although her voice could not be heard, it was clear from her lips what she said. She looked visibly upset and then it looked as if she was storming off. The incident has been replayed endlessly on sites like YouTube.com. However, Hill said it was all a joke, and her manager, Gary Borman, echoed that: "I've worked with Faith for many years now and the idea that she would ever insult or undermine another artist, let alone another human being's success is absolutely preposterous. Those who know her know that she's incapable of such actions," he said in a statement. "She was being playful while the nominations were being read and playful after." Underwood also didn't take it seriously, according to her publicist, Jessie Schmidt, who said that Hill spoke to Underwood after the show and that the two were fine. Underwood, the 2005 "American Idol" champ, has become a triple platinum success since releasing her debut album late last year. Hill is a longtime darling of country music with crossover pop appeal. This is the second time in less than a week that an awards show loss has resulted in an (apparent) on-camera freakout by a loser. Last week, Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards and interrupted the speech of the winners, claiming his video deserved the honor.
I'm don't care for Faith. I would prefer me, Carrie Underwood, and Kellie Pickler jumping each other.
i guess there's no way to know, but it looked like she was joking to me. the reaction was seemingly too over the top and too right into the camera (as opposed to just being caught cursing to herself or something) to be real.
That's strange that they would put cameras in tight focus around the nominees for a major award right before announcing the winner.
What I was thinking. She says in the article that she would never disrespect another artist yet, joke or not, that was disrespectful to someone in the midst of a big moment in their career. Now, all the talk is focused around Faith and her antics rather than Underwood's win. I don't follow country music, but the ONLY way that was funny was if the two had a WELL publicized friendship where everyone knew she was just playing around.
But think about it...would we be talking about the Country Music Awards at all if this hadn't happened? How many of us would actually have known that Carrie Underwood won female vocalist of the year? In the end, this episode actually brought the CMAs to a much wider audience than would have paid attention to it before...
If she really cares that much about an award, then she should be made fun of. Let's have some perspective here... (I don't think she cares, however...)
