<p>Not a huge country fan, but I found this interesting. I always had the impression that Faith Hill was very sweet, from humble origins and everyone’s favorite. But wow! Not sure what to make of this. Maybe she’s kidding around, but it doesn’t look like it to me.</p>
<p>I saw that last night and was taken aback by her lack of graciousness. One would think that in that biz, you’d realize that you win some and you lose some.</p>
<p>It almost looks like she couldn’t hear the announcement, thought she won, and then was embarrassed that she had started celebrating prematurely. But still…there are ways to handle embarrassment…and that wasn’t it.</p>
ITA. We <em>all</em> have those moments. Every one of us. However, when you are in the position that these people are in, the fact that cameras are EVERYWHERE is no surprise. This was a <em>VERY</em> public event, deliberately so. This was not an intrusion into her private moments of disappointment in the ladies’ room or some other private place. That would be wholly different, IMHO.</p>
<p>When I was a regularly competing athlete, one of the things that was instilled in me VERY deeply was good sportsmanship: Congratulate the winner and be pleasant and gracious publicly. The conveying of disappointment can be done in a more private setting.</p>
<p>Agreed. I guess I just thought that maybe she didn’t know the cameras were on her. Sometimes when you watch those shows instead of going to the winner, the cameras cut to the loser and I wonder if the loser knows they are on camera. But yes, it was a public event and you are right.</p>
<p>I read she was actually talking to the cameramen who were taping her backstage as the category was being read. She says she was just kidding around with them… and that’s possible. But it looks like perhaps she couldn’t hear and an unguarded moment was caught on tape. She looked incredibly nervous as the category was being announced.</p>
