News to me!

Imagine my surprise and dismay to discover that Mariah Carey (supposedly) is Canadian. At least, according to an article on divas in today's Independent, she is.

Personally, I question the veracity of the statement. Your thoughts?

Don't panic, the article was wrong. She's American, was born in New York.

So we only have Celine Dion to contend with.

...and Shania Twain, even though she lives in Switzerland.

Personally, I prefer the smaller groups from Canada...

Lovenbodyparts (Ottawa)
Haywire (East Coast) (no longer together)

I'm sure there are more -- anybody have any additions?

Moxy Fruvous
Three Dead Trolls in a baggie
The Arrogant worms
and of course the best Canadian singer...Anne Murray!!

Barenaked ladies?

I'm actually not a fan of any of the above mentioned But there are others I enjoy. Sam Roberts, Tegan & Sara, and all the indie bands sprouting up these days. A lot of good ones from Montreal.

Ooo tons of great Canadian bands/ singers out there right now.

Metric
Ann Vriend
Emm Gryner
Sarah Harmer
Todd Kerns

Yeah Sam Roberts and BNL are great. There really is a lot of good small bands starting up though from east to west

Jeremy Fisher
Sarah Slean
Dayna Manning
Alanis Morissette
OLP
Doc Walker
Sum 41
Moist/ David Usher
The Tea Party
Avril Lavigne
Bif Naked
Sarah McLachlan
Tegan & Sara
Tragically Hip
Ian Janes
Great Big Sea

... those are just some of my favourite musical Canucks to add to the list!

Hawksley Workman and Sam Roberts are amazing!!

Oh! And Rufus Wainwright... he's awesome in concert too.
