BUUUUUUBLE!

OMG what did Jann Arden just say about seal eyelids?!

So. Am I the only one who stuck it out all the way to the end of the broadcast? Any thoughts? I think Pam Anderson was a crappy host, but I loved how many performances they crammed into two hours! Bryan Adams and Coldplay were highlights for me, as well as Michael Bublé's jumping in disbelief after that last win.

I thought Pam was surprisingly funny and entertaining. I love the Junos. They are classy (minus Massarri) and short which makes them watchable. They are one of the better award shows, if not the best.

Don't they look like so much fun?! People in jeans, people dressed up, and nobody looks out of place.

Seriously though, what did Jann Arden say about seal eyelids? I changed the channel for a second and missed the joke. She's absolutely hilarious.

I love Jann, but I missed that part.

Hopefully Tiff will catch it when she watches later tonight. I'm sure it was brilliant! And when Chris Martin was like, "Bryan Adams hugged me backstage and it was arousing." I wish I knew EXACTLY what he said, because I will quote it in my signature and everywhere else for the rest of my life.

Bryan Adams, physically, reminds me if Willem Dafoe, but he's got a sexy voice.

I actually sort of...umm...fell asleep during the broadcast and just woke up in time for Buble's performance (and Simple Plan winning? WTF???), so I think I missed the Bryan tribute.

But I have to say, Allie, that monotone geeky metal mouth from Winnipeg...could he have been any LESS into it? The reward should've been YOURS!!!

Tiff, I was absolutely disgusted by that damn kid's appearance. Now, I don't know who Hot Hot Heat is, but at least I have a personality.

Bryan Aaaaadaams. I entered a contest in the paper to win tickets to his show on Thursday. But we know how past contests have not gone in my favour, so I'm not holding my breath this time. :-/

So you missed Jann Arden, too? I want to know what her comment was! I flipped the channel for a sec, and came back to her going, "...and they're made from SEAL EYELIDS!" and the crowd went absolutely WILD.

I was actually shaking my head in disbelief over Metal Mouth, thinking so many other people, such as yourself, would've been much more interesting to watch. (And you don't know who Hot Hot Heat is??? )

I'm listening to "Middle of Nowhere" now on their site. It's great! I'm sort of ashamed I didn't know them!

Did you catch Pam's seal clubbing jokes at the beginning? NOT the kind of thing to be saying to a massive EAST COAST audience!! And at a press conference the other day, she said "When people think of Canadian Club, they should think of a good whiskey, not jerks beating pups on the ice." I'm glad she didn't continue talking about it throughout the broadcast. Definitely not the time or place for it.

I've been watching Joel Plaskett videos on YouTube. I love him so much! There's a good one of him at that massive outdoor concert the other night, playing a keyboard and saying how he bought it at Value Village for eight bucks!

Ah, okay - Jann Arden said, "I just wanted everyone to know that my brassiere is made...entirely...of seal eyelids." and that's why the crowd went crazy. I don't...follow.

Oh, look at Michael jumping up and down with joy!

BTW, I missed Pam's seal jokes. Not the right place or time for them at all!

[Allie]

Posted: 4/2/06 at 11:55pm

Jann Arden is absolutely brilliant and hilarious. I think she was just counteracting all the seal stuff Pam said.

Isn't Michael ADORABLE?! Seriously. When he won his first award of the night, he was like, "Artist of the year?! I was worried about you guys liking my music, but now I know you also love my paintings!" What a guy.

I so, so, so adore Michael. Have you seen his live DVD?

I like Jacob Hoggard and Hedley, but I don't think I like WATCHING them very much. Is it just me or is he really 80s-band flouncy? And what's with him strutting around the stage chest first, back arched, with his hand on his hip like a pissy housewife??

[Allie]

Posted: 4/3/06 at 12:09am

Yeah, I left the room when Hedley started. A bit too much for me.

I haven't seen Michael's DVD! I should have a look for it, though. He's so great. I REALLY love his Save The Last Dance...

Did you see any of the red carpet stuff? Ben Mulroney actually wasn't too annoying tonight. And I loved his Nova Scotia tartan scarf/tie thing! And Pam kissed him and he got SUPER flustered, threw his cuecards away, and had no idea what to do with himself. He just kept stammering away about nothing. It was fun.

It's a little suspicious that the International Album award was a tie between the two nominees who happened to be there performing. Is it Canada's way of being like, "Oh, they came all this way... let's give it to both of them"?

I want to look for Boom Desjardin's CD, too. I liked the clips they played when announcing the nominees.

Bublé's actual remark: "I just have to tell you that I desperately wanted to win artist of the year. ... You know, I hoped that you liked my music but to win artist of the year is to know that you actually love my paintings."

He's had seven Juno nominations in his whole career, and won five this weekend. GO MICHAEL!


And Chris Martin's actual comment was: "I love him very much and he just hugged me backstage, which was, to be honest, arousing." LOVE. IT. Updated On: 4/3/06 at 12:16 AM

Bublé is the most awesome of all.




"I feel like Kelly Clarkson a bit." Heeeeee!


An interesting comment from the Toronto Sun: "She must have been paid by the word, because she barely clocked five minutes on stage in Halifax. Divine Brown held a note last night that lasted longer than Anderson's Juno act." And then: "Then the well-known animal rights activist started taking shots at the seal hunt. It was like getting a lecture in the middle of a lap dance." Ahahaha!

More Chris Martinspeaking about Bryan Adams goodness: "An officer of Canadian customs...er, Officer of Order of Canada..."

Oh and it also says: "Pammy fails to seal the deal... With Pamela Anderson hosting, wouldn't you know that last night's big Juno winner would be some guy named BOOB-lay." Don't like "Pammay fails to SEAL the deal?" How about "Pam's a BUST at Junos?" Wow, that's clever journalism.
