Celebrity Feuds
No Faith in Underwood

"Pitchy" Carrie Underwood better watch her twangin' back.

At last night's Country Music Awards, the "American Idol" warbler took home Female Vocalist of the Year -- and nobody was apparently more shocked than fellow nominee Faith Hill, who was shown waiting backstage when the announcement was made; looking angry and yelling "WHAT?!" into the camera before storming off!

Her manager claims she was just joking around. In a statement, Miss Hill tells TMZ, "The idea that I would act disrespectful towards a fellow musician is unimaginable to me. 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." Ain't she country?!

106. Yeah i think this was a joke i'm pretty sure it wasw a play on kanye west at the mtv europe awards last week! I dont't think it's in faith's character.

107. That was not a joke. Faith was obviously ticked off. This is a PR uh-oh. She must think the general public are idiots (well, she may have a point there) if she expects her explanation to fly. I for one, think it was tasteless of her to react that way (joke or not) and is doubely tasteless to try and explain it away as a joke.

108. Faith Hill was not joking, and Faith needs to tell the truth that she is jealous of Carrie Underwood. Faith thinks that the whole world revolves around her, Tim and their family. I watched the awards last time and I noticed that when Carrie Underwood won an award, that Faith was not happy then. Faith thinks that she is always going to be number one--well that is not the case--there will always be another person to get in the country music industry.

109. I commented to my husband during Faith's performance that she looked frumpy. I thought she screamed her song out like she was angry, her eye makeup was stark, her hair was lank, and I asked "What's wrong with Faith?" I say something is wrong and she is impaired in some way. Gramma

110. LD Lipcamon - I don't know what angle of video you got to see, but I don't know how you could possibly have seen her say "I hope that motherfucking son of a bitch doesn't win". But it sure does make the story more interesting, since it obviously doesn't make it more accurate.

Pandora - Pa-lease. Everyone has known their politics for years, and they've continued to be Nashville's sweethearts. The only way they'll be Dixie Chicked is if they do it to themselves.

111. Faith, I have always admired you, but let's face it, you got caught. No biggee, but don't isult our intelligence by saying it didn't happen, or it was a joke.
Let's face it, It pissed you off at that moment, and the cameras, err, the millions of people watching, all saw your first impression, shock, anger and disgust. Plain and simple. It happens to all of us, after all, your human too Faith.

112. I am a fan of both Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood's work. I watched the awards last night. Carrie showed a lot of sincere thankfulness in winning and seemed sweet. Carrie's performance was very good but Faith's wasn't up to her usual standard. Whether Faith was joking or not, her "show" after the winner was announced was in very poor taste and after all these years she should know when the camera is on. I am disappointed in Faith for her overall performance and for the fact that she is also a mom. How do you explain that kind of behavior to your kids when you get home?

113. That was no joke. Faith has a hard time accepting the fact that she is becoming a has-been to someone with half the talent. It isn't fair, but it is a fact of life. Someone new comes along every year and are not deserving of the attention or fame that they get (can we say Nicole, Paris, Ashlee, Lindsay, ad nauseum....)

114. CMA awards are voted on by your peers..Professionals in the industry. There is no cheating to do.
Carrie definitely is new blood that country music needed right now. She is a good talent and it doesn't take away a thing that she won Idol. Evidently some people still believe their vote counts on that show. She was picked by professionals then too.
What I can't figure out is how Kelly Clarkson is now getting on the country band wagon. I like her music and think she should leave the country show appearances alone.

115. faith was kidding but i'm not. carrie did not deserve to win. she won the horizon award and deserved that, but she is not female vocalist of the year. faith and tim broke records with their soul 2 soul tour and neither one of them were recognized. the cma's are all about who you know and who's ass you kiss. i was pissed for her

116. Totally inappropriate reaction from Faith!
Joke or not---definately not the time or place for such an outburst!
............But I guess in a way Faith did win--we are all talking about her.................. :(

117. I'm a big Faith Hill fan but she does not appear to be joking. Carrie deserved the Horizon award. She did not in my opinion deserve Best Female artist this year but neither did Faith. The other 3 nominees represented CM much more this past year, have paid their dues working hard for years. Any one of those 3 were more deserving. Very disappointed in Ms Hill's behavior

118. Sherlock - you're crazy! C & W artists on the whole are the only celebs who are conservatives in this country. Didn't Country radio drop the Dixie Chicks like hot potatoes for bad mouthing the prez? They are ones going to the front lines to entertain and support our troops. They sing about God, family, country.

119. Having watched these award shows for many years and a huge CW fan, the worst behavior I can ever recall was the entire Nashville community up in arms over Olivia Newton-John being nominated for the big FV award and then she won! Many famous artists claimed she wasn't country, wasn't even American & were very cruel. Olivia helped put C & W music into the mainstream by being one of the first to cross-over. Faith should be ashamed and so should those who acted badly all those years earlier.

120. Everyone Cool Your Jets! It was obviously a joke. After thoroughly reviewing the video, it was apparent to me that she was being sarcastic. People want to find any way to bitch about celebrities and this is clearly true in this case. Leave Faith alone. Carrie underwood sucks anyway.
