To give Faith Hill the benefit of the doubt, it’s not as if her public display of disappointment was unwarranted. She’s been in the music business for 13 years, and had to work to get noticed–which is a lot more than Carrie Underwood can say because all she had to do was stand in line for 20-some hours and out-sing her competition.

And I’m guessing, based on the trend of how quickly top models and idols tend to disappear after they win, people who break into an industry without suffering the trials and tribulations of failure and rejection are probably looked down upon as being bottom of the Talent Food Chain.

Which would make Carrie Underwood a type of phytoplankton and Faith Hill a shark–and the phytoplankton somehow got its “hands” on a nuclear missle and killed the shark with it.
