Would've been even better if she'd have pulled an ODB/Kanye on her.

I saw this earlier and cracked up. I love honest reactions like that.

YouTube's blocked here at the office, so could someone be so kind as to provide an summarized transcript?

When Carrie Underwood wins, Faith's hot ass goes WHAT?. She's saying it's a joke and I tend to agree.

Faith Hill Says CMA Freakout Was a Joke
Nov 07 12:13 PM US/Eastern

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 ceremony 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.

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, 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.

Awesome!

Man, Johnny Damon really let himself go.

That was pretty unspectacular.

Man, country music is creepy. Who is that big shiny motherfucker at the beginning? What a toughman/fruitcake.

How many of these women do you think ran for class president in high school?

Yeah, it was probably acid reflux.

It doesn't look like an honest reaction at all to me - looks like she was screwing around, making a joke.

Yes to mutty's interpretation.

After seeing this a number of times on every damned news show tonight, I think the "throwing the arms in the air to hail her triumph" was her honest first reaction and her "WHAT?!" was a joke to cover up her unbelievably callous assumption of winning. Either way, she's a bitch - she was either assuming she won or she was trying to upstage the winner. That's a piece of shit action right there.

can we get these added to emoticons?

i don't see how you can honestly think she was joking.

fuck yeah, dude.

seriously! i defintely watched again to verify that it wasn't actually him.

i assume there is some damn good songwriting going on in the modern country world, i just don't have the interest to sit through the goop to find it.

i have a philosophy: your favorite genres are the the ones you can handle sitting through the crap to find the good stuff.

I have to disagree with you. You will find better country and country influenced music hanging out here than hanging out with country fans. It has to do with the fact that generic pop songs generate the most revenue by resonating on a superficial level with as many of the target demographic as possible.

in this case when i said country, i meant new country.
i like lots of old country and stuff people of this boards mind set like.

There is very little new country worth listening to. Pat Green started out as promising then shit the bed before he got famous.

for a millisec, i misread "cmas" as "cans"

I figured as much when you said modern, but thought i'd make the clarification anyways between modern pop country and the rebel and .alt country stuff that we all like. Cause the average country fan would probably be unaware of Neko Case, or Robert Earl Keen, etc...

So with modern country... no luck. sorry.
