As Canadians we are happy that we can have an awards show that honours our own. Fans come out in full effect and the best Canadian artists of all genres. Sometimes the Junos just doesn't get it right like last night. Yea Drake hosted the show but was that supposed to be the compromise for not getting any awards?!? Maybe I missed something but Drake has yet to receive top honours from these award shows. I believe BET has been the only award show to bestow honours on this great artist. Once again, poor Drake got the "talk to the hand" kind of situation. That really sucks! Drizzy, they did you wrong, wrong, wroooooong!
On another note, quite frankly half the artists I'm not sure who the heck they are (shame on me) but at least Beiber had the privilege of winning not just one but two awards for 'Pop Album of the Year' and 'Juno Fan Choice Award'. Beiber was not awarded at the Grammys but his own people looked out for him. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that they overlooked Drake. Hosting just ain't good enough in my book.
It is nice that Katy Perry won International Album of the Year but I'm pretty sure there was better. But congrats to her anyhow. Neil Young won for 'Artist of the Year', uuuummm isn't he like 70 or something?!? Not to say that in old age you can't do your thing but maybe they should've created a lifetime achievement award for him. He's too old to be claiming a spot that's not meant for him. Harsh you might say but SO TRUE!
Some of the other awards like 'Album of the Year' went to Arcade Fire for The Suburbs, 'Rap Recording of the Year' to Shad for TSOL, 'R&B/Soul Recording of the Year' to Quanteisha for Stars, and 'Reggae Recording of the Year' to Elaine Lil Bit Shepherd D'Maestro for Likkle but Mi Tallawah. Hmmm. Maybe it will be better next year! I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
