Anyone else watching the Juno's?

I love the Juno's since they're purely Canadian but who else loves the outfits Shania's been wearing all night. I'm really dying for the crowds reaction when she comes in a Leafs dress.

As a Canadian may I say that we are responsible for the worst mainstream music in history sans Neil Young and the Guess Who.

Nonetheless you GOTTA love Shania's outfits. But they won't be complete until she busts out the Leafs dress.

They're on the show!?!?

 

You wouldn't think so since the Juno's are basically just awards for 'stars that made it in the States" while overlooking some of our most talented artists.

 

Oh, and Matthew Good won best video for Weapon! Woooooo! How the award for best video was a preliminary award rather then being on the show is rather inane though.

Besides this:

 

I didn't like the show that much last night. It just came off as really second rate at some point (where the nominees were sitting [well, some of them, at least], they had to climb up what looked to be some sort of ladder to get to the stage) and some of the performances weren't very good (I thought OLP, for one, sucked hard).

 

Sam Roberts looked like they dragged him out of the gutter before he got there, too.

[Guest swan]

Juno? As in the internet service?

[Guest redbaron51]

OLP can not play good live, especially their new guitarist licks balls on guitar. No fuckin skill.

 

Show was bland, there have been better.
