Hey, that would make me VERY HAPPY to know.

But I haven't heard that explanation from anyone but you Ruby. No one in the press has said it was a "copy" of Kanye.

Did he do the exact same thing? She was pretty darn convincing and I tend to believe she meant it. Although she's a show-biz veteran and she KNOWS those cameras are on her, so I also find it hard to believe she wasn't joking.

I don't know. If it was a joke it was an ill-advised one. People that saw Kayne West at his awards show are NOT likely the same people watching the CMT awards, so she shouldn't be suprised if her fan's didn't "get it"

This is off of CNN, I had heard that on our local country station.

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." (Watch her reaction and judge for yourself -- :40 Video )

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. (Watch some of the highlights of the event -- 2:20 Video)

"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.

Ruby,

I had already read that, but she doesn't say in there that she was mimicking Kanye West. At the very least you'd have to agree that it was in poor taste even if it was just a shot at Kanye West.

Faith Hill is one of my favorite singers, and I'm just disappointed in her. But we all have our lapses of judgement, that's part of being human.

I just feel her explanation smells a little

If it WAS a joke she's a much better actress than I gave her credit for, because she looked pretty legitimately ticked!

OK, time for bed now. Mornin' all!

Sorry, I guess I really just took what the DJs said to heart and what I feel she would do. Dang DJs and my judgment!

I read that she didn't know the cameras were on her, if this was the case who did she think would see this "JOKE"?
