I happened to catch a bit of the MuchMusic Video Awards last night before crashing out and was less than impressed. I had been reading how so many international artists and celebs had been requesting to be on the guest list as well as on the performance or presenters list, and how each year it becomes more on par with the MTV awards.

This may one day occur, if we can finally get over ourselves! In watching just over half the show, i lost count of how many times the veejays were like, "So how do you like Canada?", "What do you think of our country, our fans, our food, our blah blah blah?" You never hear that crap on the MTV awards, except of course the requisite flag-waving during wartime and whatnot. Perhaps it's due to the fact that we still use the veejays as the hosts and alongside the famous presenters, or the fact that it just seems like a fan screamfest regardless of the artist, celeb or award being presented.

I did rather dig the Arcade Fire performance, and fell asleep before the Killers closed the show. Perhaps i can catch them during one of the 18 encore airings clogging up the regular programming this week. Anyone else catch this mess?
