As with
everything I always like to do things my way, this will be no different. The
Nominees for the 2013 JUNO Awards were announced this morning
in Toronto, instead of boring everyone with all of the categories I'm only
posting the ones that I have any interest in…I think Carly Rae, Céline and Bieber

I`ve always loved K. D Lang. I thought she was one strange cookies years ago but once she started singing that all went out the door :)
