The Junos

Yes, I know, I'm late on the "writing about the Junos" boat. That's not going to stop me. Anyways, being a proud Canadian, I enjoy watching the Junos to see what Canadians are being recognized for their hard work. I must say, I was dissappointed. Nelly Furtado was the hostess of the evening, and it changed from the Junos to the Nelly Furtado show. Performers played one song, while she played a medley of 3 or 4. Furthermore, skits were filmed at an attempt to be funny. Guess what, they weren't quite as funny as they had hoped. It was alltogether a complete mess, people could not read the screen with their lines on it, unfunny skits, and Nelly Furtado is just not cut out for being a host of an awards show. There was one highlight though, DJ Champion from Montreal played. This performance was mindblowing. 1 singer, 4 guitarists, 1 bassist, and the DJ Champion (or Maxime Morin, if you want to get technical). Seriously, check out Chill 'Em All by DJ Champion if you want some good rocking techno music. I especially suggest the song No Heaven.
