The Media's Overreaction to Faith Hill's Reaction

When it was announced that Carrie Underwood won female vocalist of the year at the Country Music Awards, nominee for the award, Faith Hill, threw up her hands, screamed what, then stormed off in another direction. Everyone in the audience were appalled at her reaction. She immediately began to tell people she was only kidding.
The media highly publicized her reaction. The clip of Faith Hill's reaction was played over and over again that night and several nights following. Her reaction could be seen on many news programs, newspapers, and online forums.
In my opinion, I don't think Faith Hill was kidding. It seemed as if she was just trying to save face. She told the reporters that she was joking about something else, and her reaction to that particular other joke was what the cameras caught. I would be embarrassed too if I was caught acting like a a poor sport. I would have told the reporters the same thing, "I was only joking!"
Although Hill's reaction to Underwood winning was uncalled for, I don't think it was totally out of context and outrageous. Faith Hill should have won Country female vocalist of the year. Underwood hasn't done much to receive the award. She hasn't stepped up the game with her music. An album wasn't even made by Underwood this year. Hill, on the other hand, came out with a top selling album this year, and her vocals are always amazing.
