And The Winners Are….
You know we love Canada, so we had to talk about the Juno Awards!
Our neighbors and friends had their version of the Grammys on Sunday night and the amazingly talented Feist was the belle of the ball, taking home 1,2,3,4 and 5 awards.
Rihanna won for best international album, and Michael Buble took home a trophy too.

Finger Eleven were ROBBED! Blue Rodeo? WTF did they do this year? The Junos are a joke. Every year the same old zombies win. Ritta McNeal, Tom Cochrine, Ann Murray…etc. Canadians know what I'm talking about.
DON'T PRAISE CANADA THEY ENJOY SLAUGHTERING BABY SEALS AND DESTROYING ALL MANNER OF MARINE LIFE IN THE SEAS. THEY TREAT THE FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE (THE INDIANS) LIKE THIRD-CLASS CITIZENS, DENYING THEM THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND STEALING THE LAND FROM THEM! CANADA IS A PHONEY! THEY HIDE BEHIND A PLEASANT VENEER. QUEBEC IS KING!
Feist has bad breath.
Oh yeah, and am I the only one who thinks she looks like Heidi Fleiss's younger, less raunchy sister?? Still looks like she has bad breath though…
Where is April Ramona Abbey Dawn Lavigne Whibly?
Re: CELINE DION – And YOU hide behind someone else's name, while taking Canada's federal benefits, while putting down your own country with the other side of your mouth at the same time. You have one hand out looking for benefits and give your country the finger with the other. Is that Quebec? Pffft.
Re: CELINE DION –
Yeah. We all f*cking club baby seals. Every last one of us.
What the hell?
And Natives in Quebec are treated like sh*t too, just like everywhere else, unfortunately. Get off your damn high horse. PS - Quebec is still part of Canada…moron.
Re: CELINE DION –
Yeah. We all f*cking club baby seals. Idiot. And First Nations are unfortunately treated just as badly in Quebec as they are everywhere else.
You're a goddamn Canadian too, moron. Last time I checked, Quebec was still part of the country. Get your facts straight.
who gives a crap about canada with their beady little eyes and flapping heads.
CANADA LOVES PEREZ
I am a Quebequer and you are a moron. Quebec is part of Canada and I rather have it that way then it be part of another country. We lal know we would end up poor and be bought by another country if it seperated.
Avril was amazingly beautiful last night. Her eyes were like lazers of beauty,.
I love Avril and she sang well, not spectacularly, but well. Mind you she has been on tour for like a month and it is not like she is on a break right now. She is performing here tomorrow, which I of course have my ticket.
She should of won an award though, such a shame.
GO CANADA

Re: CELINE DION – The seal hunt is a traditional centuries old custom and is practiced by a small group of hunters, mostly native, whose families have seal hunted for decades. There is a limit set by the government, and it is the only source of income for some in this small group. Seals are cute, but so are cows, pigs, lambs, and some might even say, chickens. The world frowns due to the baby seal 'cute' factor and methodology, but check out a beef slaughterhouse some time and see how ethically they do cows. I don;t like any slaughter, but I eat meat, so there it is. The natives seem to have more human rights than everybody else; they don't even pay goods and services taxes. Post secondary education is completely paid for, and that deal goes to no one else. Many should stop expecting the government to support them monthly without getting consistent, gainful employment. The way of life is gone; you can't follow the herds anymore. Heck, I would do that if I could, as city living is for the birds.People fence and own all lands from the Arctic to the tip of South America. It's not the 1700's for any other race in the world, either. Sucessful humans adapt or fade away. Many more are successfully fending for themselves, and much praise to their spirit; they will be able to pass many traditions down to their offspring.
it's not "our version of the grammy's" - it's a canadian awards show to celebrate canadian artists… in my opinion much more watchable and supportive than the grammy's… though beyonce and tina were pretty cool…
feist was better though
she rocked da house with her version of see-lion… check it out on youtube!!
150 years ago there were millions upon millions of uncontrolled seal populations. They were an indigenous meat readily available and seen as necessary for survival, and by more countries than just Canada. As numbers decline or rise, population control can be necessary or unecessary. Aussies eat kangaroo, and they're 'cute'. Rabbits are cute, too, but Australia has been over run. Over 70 percent of Canadians do not support the seal hunt; they do not need seal to live. Each country has its own native wild animal populations and problems. The seal has good P.R. because they're 'cute', but when Heather Mills tried to 'pet' a white harp seal on her public photo-op protest, she nearly got her face ripped off. It has been illegal to hunt the white harp seal and the hooded seal (bluebacks) in Canada since 1987. Since the 1960s, environmental groups have been saying the seal hunt is unsustainable. In fact, the harp seal population is healthy and abundant. The Northwest Atlantic harp seal population is currently estimated at 5.5 million animals, nearly triple what it was in the 1970s. DFO sets quotas at levels that ensure the health and abundance of seal herds. In no way are seals - and harp seals in particular – an “endangered species”.
Hey, why da fuck didn't Avril win, she rocks ! !
The awards show sucked ass. Blue Rodeo group of the year???? Geez.
As a Canadian this award sucks, its a joke and pathetic…Calgary cooommmon! This show needs to be in Toronto. The only good thing from last night was Russell Peters (Perez you need to feature this guy)
THANK GOD FOR AMERICAN MEDIA! (as bias as they are lol)
Wintersleeeeeeep
except they;ve been around for a while, but recognition is always good.
i'm from canada, and its really nice that perez supports canadian music. i think last week he rote bout jully black, seven day fool. i heard that song months ago and im glad that he's exposing the world to the beautiful talent we have in canada. keep it up perez! xox
omgggg! i totally wanted hedley to win an award!
jacob hoggard is the sexiest beast ever
kinkbomb right there
i even got to meet him
Re: D – I've lived in Toronto and Calgary, and Calgary is an exponentially better place to live in dozens of ways. IMHO. I'm sure you love your home, though. Home is where the heart is.
MICHAEL BUBLE IS THE MAN. THOSE WHO SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE IS, MUST HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK THE LAST 6 YEARS.
Re: D – What happened to the Toronto Maple Leafs? You can always watch Calgary, Montreal or Ottawa in the playoffs. Lol.
I'm Canadian and seriously I have never even *heard* of Feist!! (Maybe I'm just too old?)
I couldn't care less about the Junos(or any awards shows for that matter!) either, but I do like Kim Mitchell(I saw him in concert last summer,in fact)l,Bryan Adams,Barenaked Ladies,Neil Young,Trooper,April Wine,Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde,etc….the older ones from the 1970's and 80's…
Hey Perez,
I heard on the radio today that from 9600 people asked, 97% normally do not watch the Junos…..why???? becasue they really suck!!! Even with the wonderful Russell Peters (funny as hell) hosting, they just don't know what it takes.
the junos SUUUCKED
Silly Canadians! (says a Canadian)
Feist is soooooooooo overrated. She sang sealion and I just don't get it. She's not that good. To beat out Celine, Michael Buble, Finger Eleven and Anne Murray…doesn't make sense to me.
If Michael Buble was gay I would have an artificial womb installed so he could fuck his hot Canadian semen deep into me - then I could give birth to perfect Buble babies!!!!
Perez, Canada does love you!! Come to Canada and party with us sometime!
The Juno's are lame, I couldn't be bothered to watch and I live in Calgary where the Juno's were actually held this year.
…man, i'm proud to be a canuck…such talent we have….such humility..
IllScarlett were robbed!!
If you want a fun awesome band, check out their myspace page. They are a band all about the fans.
The Junos are unfortunately very rigged. Michael Bubble won the only good award, fan choice!!!
Yay for Michael!!! I LOVE HIM!
You should put Wintersleep - Juno Best new artist of the year up on your site. They have a kick ass song 'Weighty Ghost'
Re: bdubs – This is very true.
Thanks for mentioning CANADA Perez!!!! We all LOVE your site!
Re: UKer – HEY UKER…DO ME A FAVOUR AND KILL YOURSELF!!!!
Avril sucked..she has done that same dance routing to that stupid ass song liek 40 times– best was feist and buble… Jully Black was alright.
oh and i've never even seen a seal IRL. I'm sure they are cute. You are more than welcome to kill some elk so i don't have to swerve around them anymore.
I saw winter sleep last year in concert and they kicked ASS!!! they opened up for my fav canadian band THE TRAGICALLY HIP!!!
Re: T-rex – you should be discusted with yourself..
Even Canadians don't care who won the Juno awards!
hey! give some love to Finger Eleven! Rock Album of the Year
Junos held in my hometown yehaaaa! Oh what a night! The best thing about the Junos besides being in Calgary for the FIRST TIME EVER, was the award show was just about 2 hours long way shorter than the grammys..
It is a fun party, loads of talent for shure, not to mention Junofest and Junocup!
GO CANADA GO!
Hi Perez, I've never written on the site before but I'm a big fan.
When I checked today and saw WINTERSLEEP listed on your site I had to comment. I've loved WINTERSLEEP since day 1 and I'm so happy that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
You and everyone should check out their new CD "Welcome to the Night Sky"…especially "Weighty Ghost"!
Danny Michel SHOULD have won for his DVD……
DannyMichel.com
I don't care what anyone says in response to this:
Pop music of this generation all sounds the same, the singers all look the same, the lyrics are CRAP, and the videos are even worse.
If you gotta sell your tunes to a cell phone commercial, you're a sell-out.
And if you gotta look like a slut in a video about "hooking up," you're a skank and an insult to young intelligent women everywhere.
If you sing songs that SOMEONE ELSE wrote for you, you shouldn't be in the business.
And if you watch "American Idol," you're a flake, and have the soul of a plastic fork.
it's not "the canadian version of the grammys" - it's simply the Junos…no need to compare it to US awards of a similar nature. your readers aren't stupid.
Could also mention that it was in Calgary…I'm sure if the grammys took place in nowheresville, USA you'd make an effort to mention that city too!
Anyway I'm not upset - just making a point - thanks for mentioning the awards though!
thanks : CALGARY CALGARY CALGARY CALGARYCALGARY CALGARY CALGARY CALGARYCALGARY CALGARY CALGARY CALGARYCALGARY CALGARY CALGARY CALGARYCALGARY CALGARY CALGARY CALGARY!!!

Michael Buble
I LOVE that Perez loves Canada because we just LOVE LOVE LOVE PEREZ? OMG - you are my crack Perez.
i am pissed that Matt Good didn't win. BASTARDS
You have angered a god, may your city be destroyed due to flooding due to heavy rains, for the people who were there who experienced the blessed event, you will be spared.
blue rodeo? are they still active? what about the trews? bullshit
Re: CELINE DION – your ignorance is boundless. when canada limited the seal hunt due to idiots like you, the seals descended on their atlantic cod stocks, infecting that species with parasites and virtually extinguishing that entire fishery, destroying the major source of employment in newfoundland and other maritime provinces.
A triumph tribute? who?! I thought it was a tribute to triumph the insult comic dog from conan o'brien,and anne murray, jann arden, blue rodeo etc. made me feel I was watching a old folks network, for anybody criticising Avril, she took time from her tour to show up at a pointless award show, the show uses people like her to draw in ratings, winning a "juno" means nothing, when nelly furtado won for her album "whoa nelly" her follow up "folklore" was a commercial flop, same goes for sam roberts who won album of the year for "we were all born in a flame" his follow up (I don't even remember the name of the album) did nothing.
Yawn…The only part of the show that didn't suck ass was Sarah Brightman.
For the record, you don't have to like Anne Murray if you live in Canada. She sounds like a man. Shania Twain's voice is 100x better than Anne's.
Just my honest opnion.
Re: Anglophile – I agree.I'm Canadian and I never liked Anne Murray,either! I also admit I don't like David Suzuki, Pamela Anderson,and don't care for beer, hockey,curling,Corner Gas, the Junos,Canadian Idol,maple syrup,Blue Rodeo,Tragically Hip, or other various things that are stereotypically "Canadian". My husband jokes I'm a "disgrace" to my people!
maybe I'm in the "wrong" country?
BLUE RODEO FUCKING ROCKS BITCHES! WHOOOOOO!!!!
Re: Flames Fan –
I HATE the leafs and I HATE hockey! (I must not be "Canadian")
LETS GO RAPTORS!
Re: D – Lol. OK. I can cheer the Raptors. No disloyalty there.
i think shes fierce. i wanna try that!
wintersleep!!!! AMAZING.
HEDLEY!!! Best band ever!!
www.hedleyonline.com
Nice, I like Feist. It's good that Michael Buble seems to have such a big following overseas - no one here likes him, so a guy's gotta find his support system somewhere!
Re: D – shut the fuck up. calgary is fucking awesome, way better then toronto… FUCK YEAAAHHH! good juno's last night… pretty sweet performance fiest put on… um yeahh avril was pretty good too even though i`m not like a huge fan or anything. Finger eleven did a good performance too lmao
Yuppp… GO CALGARY + JUNOS + CANADA 
Cheers for Michael, Love the man :]
Hey Perez,
first off please don't say its Canada's verson on the Grammy's. We pride ourselves on these awards. We love our Canadians and the Junos are more personal with the stars, more warming.
second off, if you claim these to be the "canadian version of the Grammy's" then where are the list of the best dressed? I am really hopnig to see a little more on the Junos!
Thanks.
my moon my moon and my mannnnnnnnnn
love love love fiest..a true fucking talent!!!!
Re: Jessyka –

Calgary sucks and the Junos suck…thank god its going to a world class city next year!
1 0 1st!!!!!!!!! yeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! suck this!
I mean 173rd!!!! YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I love love LOVE Michael Buble!!!
Jully Black was the best part of the whole show. Seven day fool, rocks!
yeah good for commenting. can i go off topic and complain that we Canadians can't watch ABC show on the net from up here in Toronto?? They say that this isn't available in your region! So u found the show on the net! but we can't call American Idol from Canada. I hate the Networks' policies i live 1 hour north of the border and cant watch tv on the dang new Aol video on demand site:(
oh and it says yahoo canada on the top of the page of yahoo's tv page. what the heck is going on? 49th parallel sucks man! yeahh that dude is so stupid " i wanna sleep with avril. his jokes are lame. y didn't jim carey host the show or mike meyers?
Quebec is the puppy mill capitol of Canada and they treat animal rights with disrespect. The Montreal SPCA is a shit place with a high euthanasia rate that doesn't much care about animals there.
Quebec is the province that hates poor little animals. No animal welfare in Quebec suckers .. why are you hating on animals so much? Oh yeah cause you just think of separating from canada all the time bitches. Learn responsibilty and respect for others not only yourselves for a change Quebec bitches.
Ontario loves its animals and protects its rights and welfare. Suck it up bitches.
The Junos rock and so do Canadian artists!!!!! Jealous much Quebec!!!!!
And what about french winners??
"You know we love Canada"
-
Yeah, it's just too bad Canada hate your fat ass.
Woo Hoo! Blue Rodeo fucking ROCKS!!! WTG!
