Some people just can't handle competition, can't they?
Faith Hill didn't really take losing too well, apparently. During the Country Music Association Awards (CMA), she was seen outraged backstage when Carrie Underwood was announced the Best Vocalist of the Year. She threw her hands up in the air and mouthed WHAT??!! and stormed off raging :)
You know what that reminds me of? Joey in Friends when he went to this soap opera awards and ended up losing. Boy, Joey didn't take it too well. He was raging and forgot to put on the 'gracious loser smile' in front of the camera. Later or he kind of put on Kanye West style when he was presenting the nominees, sabotaging the winner's speech. Oh I loved Joey. But I don't love Faith Hill for that.
Her spokesman said that she was just goofing around and that she never intended to insult anyone, especially Underwood. Yeah right. As the nanny said, talk to my hand! Try and watch the video and tell me what you think. It's almost insulting for us to have her or her spokesperson claim that it was just a joke. Even if it was, how stupid could you be? Besides, earlier on she claimed that she didn't know the camera was rolling. Oh please....
I used to like Faith Hill. I am not too familiar with country music, but she's just one of the most famous ones. She's also one of the prettiest along with Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes. But among all three, my number one favorite is LeAnn.
When Carrie Underwood was still a finalist in American Idol, I fell in love with her. She's my winner. I liked the fact that she's different, coming up with country style music and I think she's got the 'look'. Kind of reminded me of LeAnn Rimes herself. Oh, I love LeAnn. She has a very powerful and beautiful voice.
Of course LeAnn, being the good friend of Faith took her side. That prompted a new skepticism towards LeAnn for me. Was she genuine? I read in some article that Leann was just looking for a much-needed publicity when she did that. But being a good fan that I was, I think LeAnn was just a sweet soul who sticks by her friend in times of need.
A good sportsmanship was never easy. There were times when we just feel like we could scream exactly what Faith screamed -- WHAT??!! But being a hollywood celebrity who gets to earn money more than the mortals could imagine has its downside. It's a price to pay. But if you can't even bite your tongue and suppress your own personal feelings to the public, I don't even understand how she could get 'there'.
I was almost laughing in tears when I watched the video. It's deliriously amusing to watch a female Joey came to live. Of course, Joey was never that bright, but Faith Hill? I honestly thought she's smarter than Joey.
What do you think?
