2012 Juno Awards
Ottawa- It’s the one night of the year that we proud Canadians can sit back and enjoy watching all our fellow countrymen and women get recognized for their music! As Rapper Classified stated; “It’s not about your hair or how many Twitter followers you got, it’s about the music,” -you can only think that he partially took a jab at Justin Bieber with that statement, or so say the rumours.
Thousands of fans packed ScotiaBank Place, only to prove that music is alive and well here in Canada, and the people who should give a damn, are certainly doing so. I thought it would of been a bit deserted considering that the Biebes himself, along with Drake, Michael Buble and even the night’s top dogs: The Sheepdogs were not there. Still, an array of awards were handed out and even those who could not attend came up big! I’d say the most well deserved award of the night went out to Dallas Green, as he won for Songwriter of The Year. I could not of thought of any other artist who deserved it more!
There is usually much criticism shared about the Junos every year, and although I wouldn’t say that this one was the best one yet, I think it still showed Canada‘s true colours and true talent! We have a lot to brag about here, and maybe if the people who always have something negative to say about the award show actually tuned in or even LISTENED to our artists’ actual music, they’d probably feel a lot differently! Don’t get me wrong, I know that even I don’t really agree with the whole outcome but in the end of the day they all earned their awards. Saskatchewan’s: The Sheepdogs’ song “I Don’t Know” won them Single of the year, and not to forget they also won for New Group of the Year, and “Learn and Burn” earned them Rock Album of the Year. Justin Bieber won the Fan Choice award, while Michael Buble’s latest Christmas album won him Album of the Year. Canadian songstress; Feist won Artist of the Year, while leaving Drake, Bieber and Buble in her dust! Dan Mangan took home two Junos for New Artist of the Year, and Alternative Album of the Year. Hedley won for Pop Album of the Year, while Adele’s “21″ awarded her with International Album of the Year. For all you dance lovers out there; Martin Sloveig and Dragonette’s hit: “Hello” won for Dance Recording of the Year.
Huge shout-out to Toronto’s Drake for winning Rap Recording of the Year, and Melanie Fiona for winning R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for: “Gone and Never Coming Back“. Deadmau5 ended the show on a high note, LED mouse face and all; while performing “Cube”.
Later Peeps!
