| Faith Hill Shock at Carrie Underwood Win |
Perhaps Faith is not a big fan of Carrie as she was miffed.
ABC broadcast the show and had all of the very talented ladies that were nominated lined up on screen to catch the reaction when the winner was announced.
Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson and Sara Evans all cheered graciously. Carrie Underwood leaped from her seat.
But not Faith.

Faith Hill may have thought she had won as she raised her hands as if she was set to take the stage to accept her award. Then when she realized she had not won - she mouthed a healthy 'WHAT!' She then turned away and appeared to be muttering under her breath.
Unfortunately she was then off camera but it was still priceless television.

Cue the rep™:
Sandra Westerman of Borman Entertainment, Hill's management company, says Hill was just joking and didn't know she was on camera: "She would never disrespect one of the other artists."
Tough spin - she certainly didn't appear to be joking in the least and there is video online to prove it.
