I have been reading everyone's posts regarding the way Sharon Osbourne announced Creed's award and I REALLY hate to be like this, but I have to say ... It's driving me crazy!

When I hear how differently everyone interpreted what happened (or in some cases, actually claimed to hear things that didn't happen at all), it makes me realize how distorted stories really become. It proves that you really can not rely on what you hear.

I LOVE Creed and will always defend them ... so believe me, if I thought she was being disrespectful, I would be the FIRST one to say it.

I taped the show and have watched that scene about 20 times! This is exactly what happened ...

Justin gave the intro that was supposed to lead up to Sharon reading the names of the nominees. When he stopped to let her have her turn ... to read the nominees ... she realized that she screwed up and had already opened the envelope. She actually said, "I already opened the envelope ... I know who won." Then, to try to add humor to her mistake (or what she thought was humor), she just tossed the envelope, rolled her eyes and blurted out ... "It's Creed!!!"

Justin looked shocked that she didn't read the nominees and starting laughing [at her]. Then she turned back to the camera and mouthed ... "I'm sorry!" ... again ... because she screwed up.

Justin then announced that Creed wasn't there and that he would personally mail the award to them. That's when Sharon said, "Not!!" Because let's face it ... Justin is obviously not going to personally mail their award to them.

The bottom line is that Sharon screwed up and that was what all the laughing and face-making was all about.

She ABSOLUTELY did not say "NOT!" after saying ... "The best band..." nor was she implying that it was a "no-brainer" that Creed would win (of course, in my mind it WAS a no-brainer)!

I am NO fan of Justin Timberlake (sorry to anyone who is), but I have to admit that for someone who has publically admitted that he does not like Scott Stapp, I think he handled the whole thing very well.

He could have did what Fred Durst did at the Billboard Music awards... but he didn't. Creed was up for an award and Durst made a surprise appearance to give out that award ... knowing that Creed did NOT win. Puddle of Mudd (a band that Durst promoted and got a record deal for) won the award. When he announced the winner, he made sure to get a few digs in about Puddle of Mudd being "REAL" rock. That was CLEARLY a dig at Creed. As soon as I saw him come out, I knew that Creed didn't win because there was NO WAY he would have presented that award if he thought there was any chance that he'd have to give it to Creed.

Justin did not do that. He presented the award and showed no negativety. Again ... he was laughing at Sharon for making a mistake ... a pretty big mistake.

Also, Sharon almost screwed up again because she was ready to walk off the stage and Justin then remembered that he had to announce that Creed wasn't there (another indication that he knew ahead of time that Creed won).

It was all just stupid and a lot of mistakes were made throughout the whole show. This was just another one. The only crime here is not knowing how to present an award. It definitely did not seem that any disrespect was intended.

Sorry this was so long, but I really wanted to clarify this. Everytime I read another false interpretation of this, it drives me crazy.

Now you all might say that perhaps MY interpretation is the false one ... but believe me, I've watched it too many times to feel doubtful of what I saw. I PROMISE ... I will not post on this again. I just had to say this once and for all.

To those that read this to the end ... Thanks!!!
