2011 Much Music Video Awards

It's that time of year again! June is FAST approaching, which means it's time for summer sun, summer festivals and the 2011 Much Music Video Awards!! The MMVA's is always an exciting event in Toronto as it brings some of the BIGGEST stars to this wonderful Canadian city! While they still have many guests and performers to announce, I am pleased to tell you that the list is already extensive!

First of all, teen TV star and pop sensation Selena Gomez has been confirmed to co-host this years star studded event that will take place on Father's Day on June 19th, 2011. And that's at 9 p.m. so make sure you mark your calenders and set your alarms!

The performers so far (and I'm SUPER excited for these guys!) are:

Lady Gaga soared up to stardom rather quickly and has become one of the worlds most loved singers since Madonna. Given her unique style, bold and meaningful lyrics, it's hard not to love this pop icon. (Personally I believe 'Born this Way' should be every young girls anthem)

Bruno Mars  first came onto the mainstream scene with his hit song "Just the Way you Are" that became the anthem for many girls (and guys). The song is STILL popular after being on the air for quite awhile and  follow-ups like "Grenade" and "The Lazy Song" , his cool vibe and sexy voice has every girl swooning. Can't wait to see what he plans to cook up on stage.

Avril Lavigne is back on  the scene with  yet another hit album, fans can't help but LOVE her music. Avril has been a Canadian staple since I (and I is capitalIzed haha) was a teen. Her pop-punk feel never gets old on the radio and everybody loves to dance along.

The Black Keys, I'm sure a lot of you are wondering who these guys are but trust me, after you've heard them you won't forget. They have a distict bluesy-rock vibe that is hard not to notice. From the rest of the performers announced so far, they are by far nothing like the rest. They have a more distict rock sound and I think they'll appeal to everybody's ears.

And last but not least  City and Colour. Everybody's Canadian faviourite, Dallas Green is back to rock the Toronto crowd. The lead singer of Alexisonfire is here to woo the crowd with sultry yet different voice that has won over many just like the unique sound of AOF.

All these acts are just the tip of the iceburg. There will be many more announcements following the big June date so be sure to keep your eye out for more exciting details as they get released!!

Get EXCITED!!!
