Urgent Help Required!!!!!

Urgent help required! Where? The Canadian music scene!

Well, not really the Canadian music scene, but the Juno's. Canada's award for outstanding musical talent.

I see one of the nominees for best album of the year is "70's Volume 2" by Sylvain Cossette.

70's Volume 2. Best album of the year? Please. Has the Canadian music scene been reduced to nominating an album of remade 70's tunes as best album. Yes, I know, he's from Quebec, and politically speaking, we need to nominate some folk from there, but he's singing the tunes in English. They aren't even his tunes. Volume 2? Is their a Volume 1 album of more songs that are just someone elses remade? Can I get a best album nomination next year if I just convince someone to let me re-do some old "Sing along with Mitch" album?

There has to be better choices in the entire Canadian music scene than a cover album. There just must. Heck, look under the genre specific themes.

Artists nominated for best

Rock album:
Matt Mays & El Torpedo
Protest the Hero
Sam Roberts
Sloan
The Trews

Pop album:
Alanis Morissette
Creature
David Usher
Kreesha Turner
The Midway State

Country album:
Aaron Pritchett
Crystal Shawanda
Doc Walker
George Canyon
Tara Oram

and so on. Rap Album, New Artist, New Group. Surely some of these people, with original content are more deserving of a best album nomination than an album of remade tunes, even if they are well performed and well sung?

The Juno's....
