Last night was the 2011 Juno Awards, Canada's Grammys. It was supposed to be a big deal because
1) it was the 40th year and 2) is was back in Toronto.
I will be honest, this is an award show that I really never watch or care much about. If I am going to watch a Canadian award show, it will be the MMVA's in the summer.
One hour in to this "show" I realized why I don't watch. I will start with the positive. The host Drake. He was pretty good, I didn't really laugh, but he made the best of his hosting duties. Shania Twain telling the crowd that she loves Canada's bushes. You know a show is not going well, when that is best line of the night
Ok now on to the worst. I'm not even sure where to start. So here is my top 5 list.
5) Every single person who took the stage kissing Neil Young's ass. I understand he is a legend, but I also don't think he cares that Down with Webster is so honoured to be in the same room as him.
4) The performances (exception Arcade Fire) When Sarah McLachlan is your big heavyweight performer, we are in trouble.
3) The pre-show number with Danny Fernandes and Shawn Desman that turned into the lamest flash mob I have ever seen. I swear at one point some of the dances broke out into the chicken dance. Although it made me forget how bad the song was.
2) The clothes. I know this is a music show, but I see better clothes at the Eaton Centre on a Sunday afternoon.
1) Everything about the Etalk Pre-show.
The dumb questions.
Q"Are you happy to be back in Canada."
A "Don't you love the fans in Toronto?"
Q To Bryan Adams "Hey your going to be a dad! I have twin boys!!"
Could it get worse, yes it could. Ben Mulroney actually doing a Zoolander Walk Off with some poor guy who just wanted to answer a question. Then pushing poor Sarah Mclachlan out of the way, before asking her who won.
I was never so happy to see 9pm come so I could turn on Celebrity Apprentice.
