Today we will be looking at the Juno nominees in the Fan Choice category. This is a great cross-section of who’s hot, not only in Canada, but around the world The choices are:
Arcade Fire
-
Avril Lavigne
-
City and Colour
-
Deadmau5
-
Drake
-
Ginette Reno
-
Hedley
-
and Justin Bieber, Michael Bublé, and Nickelback.
The winner will be Drake, although it should be City and Colour or Arcade Fire.
I really liked the City and Colour track.
Nice spread in the styles of the fan choice group…
City and Colour is really Dallas Green. He was the guitarist, song writer and singer for Alexisonfire. They, sadly, were a really good group that broke up a while back. As Lily said it is not a recent tune, but I really like that song. Arcade Fire is, like she says, rad. Beest band in the world right now.
I love City and Colour. But didn’t that song come out like 3 years ago? Also, Arcade Fire is rad!
At least three years ago, but is a great song and it was called fan favourite category, so I took poetic license. Love that song. hehehe
Me too! hehehe
Hi,
I also like the City and Colour track, as well as Hedley. A good assortment of songs, great to listen too.
Thanks Mags. Who is big in Australia right now, as in Australian bands and singers?
Here is the top “singles” in OZ .

I see Sia is number 2. She is a terrific singer. Which songs are by Aussies?
Sia is a favorite at the moment with a lot of the “younger” people, she features with Flo Rida “Wild Ones”.
Of course a lot of my favorite Aussie singers, go back a bit.
These are my favorites in no particular order:
Men At Work ~ Cold Chisel
Icehouse ~ Midnight Oil
Crowded House.
But I love:
John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes.
Thanks for the list. I know most of them, but not John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. I’ll check them out.
Really like Arcade Fire. Great vid too.
I think they won pretty much everything last year, Juno, Grammy, Brit and everywhere else for group of the year and album of the year.
I had not heard almost any of the songs here. After checking them all, I like where City and Colour and Hedley can go. I will check more of their music out.
Thanks. Some good music out of both. Check out Alexisonfire too
Will do… I’m listening to him as I type.
Turned out Hedley was not for me but I look forward to the other Canadian delights I am introduced to in the coming days.
Cool thing about Hedley, the lead singer was on Canadian Idol, finished 4th or something, but is the only one who did anything. His career took off with the show. The band predates the Idol thing.
Interesting tid-bit!
