The 2009 Juno Awards were last night - For all you Americans out there, its the Canadian version of The Grammy's, just A LOT more boring - I think I fell asleep through half of it!!
Anyways, this year's show was hosted for the second year in a row by comedian Russell Peters. Now last year Russell had a lot of problems after the awards when he called a young kid in the audience gay - This year during the show he apologized and even said, "I am not going to do that again!!" Sadly, I was expecting more from Russell, because his one-liners and hosting wasn't really funny AT ALL!!
Moving onto the "stars" of the show - Nickelback walked away with 3 awards, while my favourite Canadian singer, Lights (she looked so sexy) picked up an award for Best New Artist of the Year - She totally deserves it and I wish her the best of luck for many, many years to come!!
And The Juno's wouldn't be complete without an appearance by my favourite (sarcasm) Canadian couple, Leah Miller and Dallas Green, Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams and Michael Bublé... As well there was an appearance by SYTYCD Canada's HOTTEST DANCER, Natalli Reznik (I will be interviewing her tomorrow so stay tuned for that)!!
So pretty much to sum-up the whole show - Yes, Canada has A LOT of talented artists, but maybe next year the awards shouldn't be so boring, and more upbeat?? Just a tip from your friendly celebrity blogger Zack Taylor!!
