I hope you're all flooding <!-- e --><a href="mailto:entertain@ctv.ca">entertain@ctv.ca</a><!-- e --> with me to complain about the way Tanya Kim and Ben Mulroney are mis-handling the coverage tonight. Typical of these US-focused Hollywood sycophants.

In about thirty seconds, Kim managed to:
-make fun of Gordie's pronunciation of "Alexisonfire" and make the band, and everyone watching, totally uncomfortable
-ruin what started with "congratulations"
-demonstrate how terrible a broadcaster she is

This was just moments after Ben screwed up an interview with legend Jim Cuddy.

The Junos are a good effort - albeit flawed - to highlight Canadian talent and try to replicate some of the stuff we lose because we don't have a proper star system. With Kim and Mulroney, it seems that CTV is showing everyone that it couldn't care less about Canadian art.

Drop a line to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:entertain@ctv.ca">entertain@ctv.ca</a><!-- e --> and make sure they hear your disappointment. Gord, the boys, Jim Cuddy, and the Canadian industry need your support.

Since Tanya Kim just referred to Default as the Greatest Band In the World, yeah its pretty bad. :x

And why the hell doesnt Ben Mulroney calm down a bit, Im getting nervous just watching the guy, his anecdotes are about as funny as bad case of herpes.

My approach was to not bother watching the pre-show coverage at all.

Works for me! :thumb:

well due to network duplication i cannoy watch the junos because they forgot that they changed the desperate slut housewives show

IT was bad. Canadians just have no business doing stuff like the pre show, are stars just aren't big enough, it is a waste of time, who wants to see Default ro some juy in a Mauve suit who no one has ever heard of... ant what the hell was Mulroney wearing.

Great Junos!!

Lousy pre-show, just like last year. You're right they make ppl very uncomfortable and the style is all wrong; of all the possible candidates this country possess, why these two and why these two twice: we should have learned from last year's embarassment..

Aside from that my highlights:

Feist-stopping mid song to have a prob fix!
KOS' performance.
