It was boring…plain boring.
Last night’s Junos in St. John, Newfoundland (buy) just didn’t do it for me… little sparkle…not much wow factor.
Sure, it’s the one event that’s s’posed to be Canada’s answer to the Grammies but it just fell flat for me.
Buble was good… Drake was O.K. …K’naan did a good job closing the show but other than Justin Bieber getting stroked all night, it was somewhat of a yawner for me.
Then again, I channel-flipped between the Junos and the Academy Country Music awards which was slightly better.
The performances were better, although I wasn’t impressed by some of the country singers who I thought sucked live.
Tim McGraw did nothing to spin my spurns…much sooner watch his drop-dead gorgeous wife, Faith Hill perform… not just cuz she’s so friggin’ beautiful but much more talented with a much better voice than her husband.
Most of the male performers didn’t knock me on my ass…Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum were good, altho, Lady A sounded a little pitchy at times.
Overall… Johnny H’s vote goes to The ACM’s over the Junos.
Kinda embarrassing when the Canadian dollar’s above par today cuz it was far below par to the US last night !
