For those of you who do not know, the Junos are Canada’s answer for the Grammy’s and it’s usually for Canadian artists and production. I feel like I can watch a Juno award and enjoy it more than the Grammys because the former features a lot of my fav musicians & singers. Canada being a country of 33 million, can still showcase an award show and you are sure to get mostly the top grade stuff that they have to offer and still like them enough.
Over the years I’ve paid more attention to the Junos and enjoyed most of their live performances cause I usually like the bands that do come for this show. The 40th Juno awards were held in Toronto yesterday and among the winners were:
- Fan Choice Award – Justin Beiber
- Single of the year – Wavin Flag by Young Artists For Haiti
- Album of the year – The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
- Artist of the year – Neil Young
- Group of the year – Arcade Fire
- Songwriter of the year – Arcade Fire

- Rock Album – Vancouver by Matthew Good
- Producer of the year – Daniel Lanois
- Music DVD of the year – Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage
congrats to all the winners!
