I watched the Junos last night- on and off because I was bored stiff- and I have to say that it left me completely puzzled. Why on earth is Nickelback so popular? They won about 6 Junos for singing revamped arena rock? What the crack?!!!! It would be one thing if the Junos were awarded by fans (which Nickelback inexplicably has oodles and oodles of), but these are awards handed out by members of the recording industry based on artistic merit. So I ask again, HOW IN THE WORLD DID NICKELBACK GET 6 OF THESE AWARDS?!!! The Junos are on a very thin ice in terms of their credibility, but this has officially pushed the award over the edge.I personally believe that Nickelback is the worst Canadian export since Celine Dion... but at least Celine Dion has talent. This band has done nothing to enhance the Canadian image, but it has done a lot to give credibility to mullet-wearers everywhere. Here are a few reasons why they do not deserve their fame:
- Every song this band has ever released as a single sounds exactly the same.
- They look like the kind of men who: a) you'd meet at a truck stop on the 401 on your way to Sarnia; b) smell; c)spend their weekends smoking, drinking beer and watching hockey games
- They write crap.com lyrics like:
I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven, no, heaven don't hear me
Yeah, case closed.
