Sore loser
Posted by Stacy Chandler at November 8, 2006 9:09 PMOK, so by now we've all heard about the Faith Hill flip-out at the CMA awards. Right? If not, well, come on down to the pop-culture gutter and join the cackling fray. This is just priceless:

WHAT? WHAT? Yeah, that's right, Faith Hill. You were snubbed for an award. Possibly because you suck. Of course, so does Carrie Underwood and almost everyone else recognized at the CMAs, but at least everyone else was gracious enough to play along. After all, dear, you got where you are by playing along with the corporate country game, did you not? So I don't see why it would have been so hard to keep it up on CMA night.
I was shocked that Faith freaked out like that, right on camera no less. I wonder what she says and does when the camera is turned off.

Posted by: Amanda at November 8, 2006 10:31 PMI didn't see Faith Hill's fit.
I didn't see Janet Jackson's tit.
Why do people watch that.
Can you imagine life with a camera on you 24/7? Every time you pitched a snit, having millions of wags going "tsk, tsk -why ain't they perfect?"
Show me agood loser, and I'll show you a LOSER. As Patton once said, "Real Americans don't give a hoot in Hell for a man who loses and laughs."
Now, fibbing about pitching the snit, that is what I have a problem with!
Posted by: Jim Pipkin at November 8, 2006 11:48 PMDude, no one's asking her to be perfect. Just to maybe have her shit together for the five seconds when she KNOWS there's a camera in her face. She was playing to it at first, so it obviously wasn't hidden!
But yeah, with you on the fibbing. I would have kind of respected her if she'd said "Yeah, I was disappointed, I kind of over-reacted, but shit happens." But trying to play it off as a joke? Lame.
I give performers a lot of leeway on ego stuff, because without egos they would be as boring as the rest of us.
My tolerance gets stretched thin when the spinmeisters come out. But we all have to admit that the tantrum did accomplish one thing.
More people are talking about the loser than the winner.
