I was pretty dissapointed with the Junos this year. Didn't think we'd get Hedley, Jully Black and Ann Murray shoved down our throats so much. Seriously, Anne Murray? Has she even done anything significant in a decade? Only Canada can make Anne Murray a star. Barf.
Bunch of no-names on this show as well... this show, for some reason, gave me a bad vibe. Maybe it was the crappy production value as seen on TV, or the lack of some other big-name Canadian stars, such as the Hip, Billy Talent, Sum 41, GWAR (lol)... whoever. This just seemed to be a popularity contest for whoever is currently hot in music. Good for Feist, but aside from her, the show was pretty terrible, IMO.
Why can't they have American / international stars show up as well? They don't have to win any awards, but their mere presence would give the show some street cred.
Anything is better than a two-hour snoozefest with Anne Murray. Anything. GWAR should have came in and sacrificed her to the World Maggot. That would have made the show infinitely more interesting.
