Good afternoon friends. I like to say that Monday’s are usually slow in music related news. But this morning was a little jam-packed. For instance, the Juno’s took place last night. I must say, I’m really proud of Canadian Music right now. They are getting more airtime, our artists are crossing over to the mainstream and people are starting to go apeshit over bands like Hedley, Mariana’s Trench, and Carly Rae Jepsen (not a band, the singer…have you heard of her)?
The Juno’s:
Hedley and Bieber were among the big winners at last night’s Juno’s but what about the antics that went on? Michael Buble won Album of the Year for this Christmas Album and DeadMau5 was NOT happy about it. (Surprise, Surprise). The Juno’s were also referred to as “Amateur Hour” when a medley of different artists were represented through a pop-dance performance. JRDN, Alyssa Reid, Mia Martina, and more took part in a joined up performance to showcase the new talent that Canada has to offer. Feist stole the show by winning Artist of the Year and being the queen that she is.
Drake on Drugs?
Drake openly admitted to doing drugs…with moderation that is. Wine, Codeine, and Weed are his favorites but he says he isn’t into drugs. But then caught himself when he realized he just said he did drugs. He just means he doesn’t like to get crazy. But should he have even told us? Probably not, because now we’re just going to be skeptical. He didn’t say how he is battling an addiction, or that it’s bad. Drake just does it. As simple as that.
Diggy VS J-Cole
BEEF HEAVEN. I know that sounds so weird. But the latest beef is taking place between Diggy Simmons and J. Cole. Yupp you heard it right, a 17 year old vs a 27 year old. Has Diggy ever heard of ‘respecting his elders’? The young rapper was feeling very disrespected when J Cole dissed his sister in a song. Diggy said “Heard you lying on my sis, telling people that you hit. When you album drops, I’m gonna hit you with your brick”. Those be fightin’ words.
Taylor Swift’s ACM date calls in sick :(.
This story is so sad. The boy who was going to go with Taylor Swift as a date to the American Country Music Awards wasn’t able to go because he was admitted to the hospital. My guess is, is that Taylor is going to make it up to him!
