Diana
Krall Wins Juno Award - Nelly Furtado Bombs
as Host but Wins Five April
2, 2007 - Diana Krall won a Juno this past weekend
but it wasn't televised. As in previous years
the Juno awards split the ceremony over two
nights. Most of the Jazz. Blues, Roots, World
and Classical awards were given out on Saturday
night while the Pop/Rock awards got the royal
treatment with the CTV Networks televised program.
Krall's album "From this Moment" won
for "Vocal Jazz Album of the Year."
Hilario Duran and His Latin Jazz Big Band picked
up Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year for the
CD "From the Heart" and Jon Ballantyne's
"Avenue Standard" was "Traditional
Jazz Album of the Year" The Sisters Euclid
grabbed Instrumental Album of the Year with
"Run Neil Run".
Nelly Furtado swept all her categories last
night winning five Juno's. The singer also hosted
the event albeit nervously. Furtado seemed awkward,
quirky and rather out of her league in spite
of her third album's worldwide success. Her
attempts at humour fell flat and the singer
barely mentioned her U.S. hip-hop producer Timbaland
who played a huge role in the success of her
album "Loose." Maybe CTV will dig
a little deeper next year and hire a host who
actually has chops in that department. The event
was painful to watch thanks to Furtado but wait,
isn't this the same network that hired Ben Mulroney
to host Canadian Idol? Oh It's all making sense
now! - by John

JOHN'S, Nfld. - At a long, roaring party
that likely won't be forgotten for a long
time on the Rock, the Canadian music industry
looked with love on Diana
Krall and reminded Nickelback how great
they really are. With three Juno awards
apiece, Krall
and Nickelback were winners in the top categories
at Sunday night's Juno awards. Krall
took best artist and best album, as well
as best vocal jazz album for The
Look of Love."I think this is the
best awards, the most musical,'' the Nanaimo,
B.C.native said. "The best music I've
heard in a long time is Canadian,'' an emotional
Krall said, collecting her best artist award.
Backstage and somewhat flustered, Krall
said the two major awards were completely
unexpected. "I'm a little bit in semi-shock
right now, I'm just blown away . . . it's
amazing, I feel like third clarinet in band
getting on the basketball team.'' read
